Talk:Tom Thomson

message: Outriggr recently pointed out to me that this page is getting somewhat long—at the moment it's sitting at 155 kb and 11,775 readable words. It is usually recommended that any page that goes past 100 kb "[a]lmost certainly should be divided." In this thread, I was hoping we could open up a discussion about where splits could potentially be made. Following WP:SPLITTING and the page I've been basing this one on—Vincent van Gogh—there are a few areas that might make sense: 
If anyone has any other preliminary ideas, I'd love to hear them! Thanks. Tkbrett (✉) 20:39, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's fair to say that on Wikipedia the absence of X doesn't mean that X isn't appropriate. Writers as dedicated as you, with extensive literature at hand (without which the dedication doesn't help much), are very very rare. If they weren't, we would have, you know, "Technique of Rembrandt [over time]" and such. The evolving method of a major artist is a great topic in principle for its own page, and I think we don't see them because they're the hardest thing about an artist to write about, with sources. If you can do it, I would prioritize that one. As I already said, I'm not real familiar with Thomson, but Algonquin seems like a good split, and possibly a split combining "death and legacy".

replies: text: Death and legacy of Tom Thomson page is coming up. It is essentially the Legacy and influence section from this page. Now I need to write a shorter summary for that section. Tkbrett (✉) 06:09, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

text: Artistic development of Tom Thomson is now also up. Tkbrett (✉) 20:32, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

text: I also created a Tom Thomson navigational box to help keep things organized. Tkbrett (✉) 21:18, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

text: I made a page for the 1915–16 painting, Spring Ice. This means there are now articles for all four of Thomson's "big works" (specifically, Northern River, The West Wind and The Jack Pine as well as this new page). Who says these are the bigger paintings? Well, the only place I've really seen a list is on his plaque in Leith, Ontario. I guess this just opens the question of where to go to next...

text: Another painting, this time the notable 1912 sketch Drowned Land. Besides pages for other important and noteworthy paintings, I'm not sure what else to add. I will possibly consider the previously mentioned Tom Thomson and Algonquin Park page once both the (currently ongoing) peer review and (eventual) good article review have run their course for this page.

thread_title:  Sub-topics to split 

message: A few days ago, the Tom Thomson catalogue appeared to go offline. This site is one of the most important resources available, providing high resolution images and information for nearly every Thomson painting. I am trying to figure out how to contact the site creator, Joan Murray, but haven't had any luck so far as she does not have any contact information on her personal website. If anyone can help ensure that she is aware, it would be greatly appreciated! Tkbrett (✉) 02:03, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The site came back up today. I made sure to write down the contact email for the website this time around. Tkbrett (✉) 20:44, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
