[edit] Autobiography

This page appears to have been created by none other than Asheem Singh. The originator of the article goes by the name Ashthecash (my italics); his contributions seem to consist of:

• POV (Point of View), which is about a television series by writers including Asheem Singh;
• American Dream (Art), which is about an artistic genre that has influenced, among others, Asheem Singh;
• University_of_East_Anglia#Notable_alumni, namely, the addition of Asheem Singh to the list of notable alumni; and
• List_of_University_of_Oxford_people#Dramatists, again, the addition of the name of Asheem Singh.

One thing that does puzzle me somewhat is why somebody apparently so well educated, and indeed a flourishing literary talent, doesn't know when it's appropriate to use capital letters. In American Dream (Art), the following words do not appear to require capital initials: Cowboy, Rainbow, Time (in Christmas Time), Author, and Screenwriter; in POV (Point of View): if the award is called the Creative Television Award for Best Original Network Drama, Best wants a capital B, but if for best original network drama is just a description of the grounds for the award, original network drama wants lower-case letters: all or none, but not a mixture. Also, et. al. does not require a point after et, because et is not an abbreviation. Finally, in Kerouac, Burroughs et. al. filmmaker Stanley Kubrick and more recently, filmmaker David Lynch, I think commas would be appropriate in the following places: Kerouac, Burroughs, et al., filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, and more recently filmmaker David Lynch (I think it wants either and more recently... or and, more recently,..., but the comma doesn't serve much purpose, so I'd omit it).

[edit] Humour

Nationwide "A-Level" Examinations

Sounds like a scholastic wheeze sponsored by Nationwide Building Society.

Seriously, somebody - not me though - may like to change that to national GCE A-level examinations.
