message: Changed "saccharin" to read "saccharine". Saccharin refers to the substance, I think author was referring to the adjective saccharine. --Dyefade 01:20, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

message: We recently got this contribution by User:Giovannuzza, which I've moved here until it makes sense:
:Now Selling prints for £200 each! - "Prints will begin around the £200 mark and will rise to around £4,000 - far, far below the minimum of £25,000 he usually charges for a work" - from an article by Duncan Higgitt of The Western Mail, Wales Feb 11 2006
Now the good thing is that it appears to be a direct cite from a recent Welsh paper. However, it seems a little out of context. I don't think it is intended as advertising. Is the intention that it illustrates that Vicari has now fallen on hard times? -- Solipsist 19:49, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Did he really go to the Slade at the age of 13? Surely either the Slade dates or his birth date are wrong, but a quick Google couldn't track down the right ones.

replies: text: Good point. This article from the Telegraph places him at the Slade in the early fifties (and a date of 1956 for an event after leaving the Slade), so it may be a problem with the DoB. On the other hand, perhaps he really was 13 at the time - WelshHeroes.com says he was the Slade's youngest ever student and also quotes the 1938 year of birth. If so that would be worth clarifying in the article. -- Solipsist 19:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, and here's another good reference from the BBC which includes the DoB, mention of a Welsh painting competition won at aged 12 and studying at the Slade from 1951 for 3 years. So that seems to check out. Other articles also mention the competition at aged 12. On the other hand, this article quotes/paraphrases Vicari as saying he won £10 in the local painting competition at age 14 and gives more details about the competition than most web sites. -- Solipsist 19:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Intriguing. If he really did go at the age of 13 it's worth noting. -- Wwhyte 00:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Article in The Times 31 October 2006: Vicari attended the Slade — “I was the youngest student ever admitted”. Tyrenius 10:07, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting to note that that article also quotes him as winning the National Eisteddfod at age 14. And if his art teacher entered him into that competition, he must have still been at school and not yet at the Slade. So I suspect there must be an 'out by two' error in one of the dates. Or could he have been attending the Slade part time whilst still being at school in Wales? -- Solipsist 11:03, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
