would falsify the facts if we left the issue out of the
Knowledge article, but this part of the topic should also be kept in proportion at no more than say 5 per cent of the article length. The section should be neutral, concise and accurately describe the consensus at the centre of one-namers. For accuracy, you'll have to ask the Guild itself: there isn't much "peer-reviewed scholarly literature" about it yet: it's too contemporary for that. --

Studies!) The UK surnames section should perhaps be renamed UK resources - after all the same surnames occur throughout the
English-speaking world. Can someone please write about resources for one-name studies in other countries please? There was a mix of language styles and I have changed all to British-English in the interests of consistency.
432:
The purpose of CN tage is exactly to draw expert(?) attention to parts of the article in the hope that authoritative citations can be found. It would maybe be worth giving someone (the author?) a chance to source the assertions. Mind you, my guess is that this article is largely sourced from personal

Is a "weasel" tag on the Ethics section necessary? The ethics topic is a recurring one in the Guild of One-Name
Studies and often controversial. At one extreme are critics who regard one-name folk as parasites or selfish. At the other extreme, some people are intensely possessive of their studies. It

While I agree totally with your CN tags, I wonder if it would be better to delete the information that isn't sourced so the article can be rebuilt using sourced material (if it exists). I only suggest this because a
Knowledge reader might be put off an article entirely if it has more than one or two

Before you set about writing a lengthy instruction manual about one-name studies (which would be innappropriate), it may be better to begin by collecting together a number of published sources that can be used to support a meaningful (maybe brief) article. In fact, the solution may be to remove some
484:
Is it really 10 years ago? I am happy if you constructively do research, find your citations and rebuild the article. My only advice would be that, sourced or unsourced, the statement that an ONS is commonly a pastime is essential to a definition and non-trivial, since many readers would suppose at

I have now worked through the article making several changes aimed at its improvement. The style is still rather bitty and in places sentences are unwieldy so I intend going through it again soon. I have added a few references but think the article could do with more (not just to Guild of One-Name
511:
Agreed it should be clear that it's not (generally) a professional or academic activity (serious study nonetheless). But for that reason it's going to be difficult to find reliable/published sources other than GOONS. We can but try, though.
457:
My feeling is that much, such as the paragraph starting "While most one-name studies are conducted as a pastime" will be deleted in due course, the author or others should be given a day or three to source it. It looks like

I do not see any reason to merge the Guild of One-Name
Studies with this page. As a charitable organisation I think it merits a page of its own. There is potential for expanding the existing Guild page.

The phrase "In most other countries" is meaningless as no countries have been mentioned at this stage in the article. Can the contributor of this section please re-write to show what he or she means.
