I spotted some significant errors on the Career section of this page to do with dates, when O'Donoghue became an emeritus fellow of Wadham,and so on. So I consulted the man himself, as we have mutual acquaintances in common, and he straightened out these points - now edited in.

In addition, he asked me to delete three things. The first was the fourth paragraph in Works, which no longer applied. The second was the Chatto Greek Lexicon 1999 in Bibliography/Other, which was never published. The third was the statement that he has been referred to as "the nicest man in Oxford", which he said was "neither true nor sensible." I have deleted the first two of these, but for the moment I have left the third, because it is derived from one of our better sources (currently no 3 - Irish Times).

However, on reflection I am inclined to agree with O'Donoghue that this statement is inappropriate, and just plain silly. So I propose to delete it in a week's time unless anybody objects.Brymor (talk)20:52, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody has objected, so I have cut "the nicest man in Oxford" passage.Brymor (talk)20:09, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The current "Works" section is woefully inadequate. O'Donoghue is a poet, and most people who access his Wikipedia page will want to read about his poetry - what is it about? what do people think of it? why is it significant? They won't get that here. The first item is a translation, then there is a list of publications that duplicates (part of) the Bibliography, and it ends with one brief (but interesting) comment about Anglo-Saxon elegies. That's it.

I suggest there should be two sections: "Poetry", and "Other works". And it's the Poetry section that needs beefing up.Brymor (talk)20:27, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Poetry", and "Other works" sections now beefed up. Almost all of this comes from the existing citations, particularly the four interviews with O'Donoghue.Brymor (talk)19:34, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
