Life after a helicopter crash

Latest comment: 6 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Adshead wrote this article in the Daily Telegraph 3 days ago: Life after a helicopter crash: How three survivors dealt with the trauma. It's from her forthcoming book 'Extract from Unspeakable: Stories of Survival and Transformation After Trauma'. What is interesting is the reaction from pilots on PPRuNe. The article purports to be a factual story with the names changed. PPRuNe consensus seems to be that it is fiction. I assume PPRuNe is not a valid Wiki source hence this is on the Talk page. Perhaps someone could stand the story up either way... Amble123 (talk) 14:38, 24 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Description of Edits for Gwen Adshead's Wiki Page

Latest comment: 5 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

We are planning to update Gwen Adshead's page to include up to date information and complete sections of the page.

The lead section will include the most up to date information regarding her career. Everything else will be moved to the "Career" Section.

Personal Life

The "Life" and "Personal Life" section of the page will be combined into one "Personal Life" section. All information regarding her career and education will be moved into its own sections. Many of the current information will remain.

Education and Career

"Education" will be its own page and expanded to include her degrees and qualifications in chronological order along with proper citations. it will include any additional continuing education that was not listed in the original page including: names of masters degrees, honorary doctorates, and locations where everything was achieved from.

"Career" will also be its own section and broken down into multiple sections: career, research, media appearances, and awards. Each section will be in chronological order and expanded upon from the current wikipedia page. Some of her current research will also be linked for others to read. All of her career jobs will be dated and in chronological order. A new research subsection will be added and list some of her most prominent research topics, the journals where her research as been published, and link specific papers. Media Appearances will follow and include: BBC radio interviews, podcasts, and newspaper interviews. A new awards section will be added that will take some of the information from her original page as well as more recent awards that she has received.

Books

The bibliography section will be renamed "Books" and include a reviews section within it. The books will also be updated to include her most recent books and be listed in chronological order and formatted. The Review subsection will include reviews for her books. Any article written by her or interview with her directly will fall under the media appearances section. That section will fall under the "Career" and include her appearances in interviews and podcasts. This section will also be in paragraph form, rather than the list form it is currently in.

Sources

We have included around 20 more sources to help include more detail about Dr. Adshead's life, history, and accomplishments. Cflores12 (talk) 01:14, 1 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
