Talk:Colin McCahon

message: I note under the section "Influences" there is the following claim re Dunedin: "This was the first true art school in New Zealand." Doesn't the Canterbury College School of Art predate Dunedin substantially? Where does this claim come from? MurielMary (talk) 08:58, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Source of claim of "first true art school"? 

message: I note that it is currently stated that McCahon attended Dunedin School of Art 1937-9 and that after leaving Otago he attended King Edward Technical College Art School('King Edward'). However, the Wikipedia entry on 'King Edward' states it is in Dunedin, which is the principal city of the Otago region. In Simpson, Peter (2001) Answering Hark: McCahon/Caselberg: Painter/Poet. Nelson: Craig Potton Publishing. p.12 the beginning of McCahon's career is dated to the years at 'King Edward' in Dunedin, 1937-9 and the source given in Answering Hark is McCahon's essay 'Beginnings' in Landfall 80 (December 1966) pp 360-4 Jeremydkp (talk) 20:46, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Attendance at Dunedin School of Art 

message: In the 'Career' section it states that by 1948 McCahon and Hamblett had relocated to Christchurch. According to Simpson, Peter (2001). Answering Hark: McCahon/Caselberg: Painter/Poet. Nelson: Craig Potton Publishing. p.11, McCahon moved to Christchurch around March 1948 from Nelson but "had not yet found anywhere for his family to live." Simpson goes on to add that Hamblett took the children to live with her parents in Dunedin and she was reunited with McCahon in 1949 (at an address in Linwood). --Jeremydkp (talk) 21:36, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: confused

message: Hawthorne's dipiction of Bellingham was fictional and in the Scarlet Letter Bellingham was the brother of condemned witch Ann Hibbins.  Here is the problem, Hibbins and Bellingham lived in the 17th century, yet no 17th or 18th century sources, that I have researched, mention them being related.  It is only after the publication of the Scarlet Letter that historians and geneologists record a relationship between the two.  Since this finding is original research, I cannot really say it in the article, so it is best to use the sources that say Hibbins was "reputed" [by Hawthorne, apparently] to be Bellingham's sister, rather than the sources that state it as an undisputed fact. --Ishtar456 (talk) 11:45, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I won't dispute that the previous lead needed some judicious trimming, but I think we've gone a bit too far by leaving just a single sentence.  I know you didn't remove any material (just added section headings), but, still, a war of this complexity and importance being discussed in an article of this length needs a more detailed lead. Right now, the structure is out of balance.  Let's see if we can find a workable middle-ground. Dasondas 08:24, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Good to see some debate on the subject. I do not intend to write any content, but I too feel that the remaining lead is too short. HOWEVER, I don't think that moving stuff back from below the new subhead is the answer, because this goes into huge (and important) detail about the two sides. What I would expect to see in the lead is a sentence about its historical context, a sentence about its lasting effect, and a sentence about the controversy of its conduct. A note on casualties (I don't feel that infoboxes should supplant content). If merited, a sentence about the unusual nature of the international response. All, of course, simply precis of what follows rather than any new content (yes I realise that a precis of such a subject is not a trivial task). Reference to Wikipedia:Lead section may be useful in settling disputes. Above all " The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, should be written in a clear and accessible style, [should be carefully sourced like the rest of the text,] and should encourage the reader to read more." It certainly wasn't that, and didn't do that. Notinasnaid 08:34, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  As of this post I haven't thoroughly scrubbed the stuff below the sub-header to say that **none** of it could me moved back up, but your points are very well taken and there is no doubt that important summary information about historical context and long-range effects (both within Spain and internationally) were sorely lacking from the lead.

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians
I noticed while editing this article that there was a duplication of links to other pages. I think it's because everything is in one big category. It is quite confusing and difficult to keep track of new, existing and ceased radio stations. I humbly ask of you to create more subcategories, preferably dividing the radio stations in terms of who owns it, its broadcast area, etc. Perhaps all SABC radio stations in one separate subcategory and all Primedia radio stations in another so as to make it easier to update. Please consider this request.
