Talk:A. S. Neill

message: Lillian's sister, novelist Henry Handel Richardson, has a note on her page claiming Lillian was first wife to Neill, and helped him found and run Summerhill, yet she isn't mentioned here at all. Anyone know of any external evidence of their marriage? BessieMaelstrom (talk) 11:40, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Everything you've changed so far seems fine to me.  I agree that the section on Holt is misplaced, and it ought to be cut down (a single condensed paragraph would be fine) or removed entirely. -- Rbellin|Talk 03:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm removing this article from the educational psychologist category until evidence is forthcoming that he was considered one. University degrees and appointments in educational psychology and publications in educational psychology books and journals are relevant. Merely referring to psychological concepts in his books, as Neill occasionally did, does not seem sufficient. Of course there is no doubt that he was an influential educator.

thread_title: Evidence that Neill was an educational psychologist

message: I am really interested in A. S. Neill and Summerhill School as A. S. Neill is a distant relative to me! He was on my great grandfather's side of the family and he shares my surname!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.34.173.149 (talk) 20:22, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Broken External Links 

message: I find it very odd that the artice on Summerhill refers to his activities in Germany and Austria in the 20s, but this article on the man himself never mentions them. Jpg1954 (talk) 21:02, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dead link 

message: I'm looking at rewriting this mostly unsourced article from scratch and taking it to FA in the next few months. I was planning on doing it in userspace so the full text could be in the public domain (per my user page release) and then moving it here (into mainspace). Any objections to this, or other thoughts? czar ♔ 22:56, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Draft 

message: I notice that most of the page references a book about A.S. Neill by a Richard Bailey. However, I am unable to find trustworthy information as to who is this Richard Bailey and what are his credentials.
It ought to be known that there is a huge difference in whether this is a work of a known scholar or a random book writer. I'm curious.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.75.133.213 (talk) 20:40, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree that there is far too much of Bailey's take on Neill here. It would be wonderful to balance this with other writers' input. Totorotroll (talk) 22:03, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
