Talk:John Shaw Neilson

Why were dates added to this name when that isn't CPDL convention? The system has rightly reverted it to the old version.

Hello Mark Chapman, please add four tildes (~~~~) to your message to identify yourself. I came across this composer because he didn't sort correctly, and removed the dates from his name; I also had to do that to the two works for which he is lyricist. I don't know where the dates came from. By the way, you can see who did what to any page by clicking the "history" tab at the top. Cheers, — Barry Johnston (talk) 03:59, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Apologies for not signing my previous comment. Wasn't the history lost because the page without dates in the name became a different page? MarkChapman (talk) 00:22, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
