[edit] National Service

ISTR seeing somewhere that notorious heterosexual Kenneth Tynan managed to get out of National Service by convincing the gullible Army officers that he was gay. Is this true and verifiable or have I confused him with someone else? David | Talk 11:43, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need help modifying footnote

In the Notes section at the bottom of the page, a source is listed as, "Tynan, Kathleen, The Life of Kevin Tynan, pages 327, 333, as cited in Paul Johnson's The Intellectuals, Chapter 13, Note 54." Obviously, it should say Kenneth Tynan, not Kevin.

While I know how to modify an article's text, apparently modifying the reference section is accomplished differently. When I try to edit the Notes section, the words "Notes" and "References" appear, but the references themselves aren't listed so I don't know how to change them.

Also, I know we're supposed to discuss changes in general, but as this is obviously just a transcription error, I assume it's okay to correct it? I have a copy of the "The Intellectual" in front of me and it quite clearly says Kenneth Tynan, not Kevin, which is not surprising since Kenneth is the man's name.--Pywacket (talk) 19:59, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

My mistake. I was tired. To find the footnote information, click up to the first footnote, then open the page (or that part of the page) for editing, and the footnote should be right there. Since it was my mistake, I'll change it now, but thanks for the notice. And you're right, since it's noncontroversial, if you know how to do it then you can just make that change.
