While  McLachlan's publication information overlaps with different RS (and can be evaluated) like in - Kevin O'Connor.

Talk:Ballad (music)

message: I corrected some obviously wrong spelling, but I wasn't sure if analagous was en-uk or not, let me know if it is. Bassgoonist 19:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling 

message: This title implies that the article at ballad is not about music, which it most certainly is.  Even worse, when you combine the information at all the articles about ballad, it would not seem like much of a stretch to conclude that anything with a melody or meter constitutes a ballad.  Why don't we eliminate the word "music" from the English language and replace it with ballad?
Seriously, I am old enough to remember when ballad did not include the contemporary definition of a love song, but was instead just a musical story.  I remember being puzzled by the use of the term for "love song", but, like Niemöller, I didn't sing traditional folk ballads, so I said nothing.  And now, there is nothing that is not a ballad.
I guess, if this is really how the world is defining the term (or, more accurately, failing to define), then it's not Wikipedia's problem.  But I want to know that this is how it's really being used.  This concept of "instrumental ballads" strikes me as being positively oxymoronic.  I know that the editor has included citations, but it's nothing that we can check on without a trip to a major library.  I think I'm going to have to ask for documentation on this plethora of meanings of "ballad", or I may begin to do a little raising of the ears. Unschool 00:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unacceptable title 

message: Given the above problems, which still persist, that is to say the oxymoronic title and the crossover between the two articles, I have suggested that the additional material from this article be merged into Ballad. Clearly only one article is necessary and it is logical to use the more standard name.--Sabrebd (talk) 13:47, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Frederick Arthur Bridgman

message: There has been an issue raised by user:Quadrabev about the spelling of the artist's first name. The Getty ULAN and Worldcat indicate that the K should be included as the preferred form of name, so I believe it is correct to keep that spelling until it changes in those sources.  However, the artist's own passport application apparently omits the K, which is interesting.  Maybe it is worth adding something to the article itself that highlights the fact that the "correct" spelling is subject to debate by scholars?  Just a thought...--Sarasays (talk) 18:43, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Quadrabev's first few edit summaries said "Correct spelling ("Frederic") confirmed through U.S. Passport applications available via ancestry.com". That's not a good way to source this. They need to provide either a more direct link or the image they've apparently seen. Further edit summaries said "A U.S. passport signed by the person in question is considered a primary source and would supersede WorldCat" and that's exactly incorrect. WP:PRIMARY says "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources." Per User:Train2104's edit summary from February 15th, WorldCat is reliable. CityOfSilver 18:58, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  I feel the top line is prejudice to Catholics 

message: I think this needs more prominence; in the UK on telly and stage Sir Les Patterson was always the "Cutural attaché of Australia" (he never said to whom, but in the UK presumably to the UK) i.e. in a double flip he suggested that he had to escape Australia to find some culture but had a sinecure promoting Australia's culture to the UK while secretly (or not so secretly) hating both equally.
Clive James and Germaine Greer similar, and James parodies Humphries in his Unrelaiable memoirs, when they all lived around the same part of London, Earl's Court ("Kangaroo alley")  (except Greer who lived and I think still lives in Cambridge)).
I presume Sir Less got his fictional knighthood in London, but Dame Edna must have got hers somewhere else (probably mail order)! If Barry Humprhies hasn't got an honour i bet it is because he refused it and being modest – you're not supposed to say if you turn down an honour.  Si Trew (talk) 14:09, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Smorgon family

message: Considering the fact that this article is about the richest family in Australia (), it clearly requires expansion. It should look more like Pritzker family, for instance. I propose merging the three family members who currently have a (stub) Wikipedia article into it, and redirecting their names to here. Their articles (and the family company, Smorgon Steel, too) are very lacking in content. If anyone has an opinion on the subject, or is willing to help carry it out the move, it would be appreciated. Shalom11111 (talk) 00:58, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no evidence that family is independently notable (Daily Mail not being a reliable source) from it's best-known member, Graham Smorgon. So, I suggest a redirect from Smorgon family to the most notable member, then use a hatnote such as template:about to also link the page for his cousin (apparently the the only other independently notable member). Klbrain (talk) 08:07, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thinking again about this; Victor Smorgon (founder) and Graham Smorgon reach independent notability, and through philanthropy (with an obit in a national paper) there's an argument that Loti Smorgon does too. So, now think that there is sufficient for a family page. Perhaps David should indeed be merged to a family page. Klbrain (talk) 05:45, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your comment and recent edits. Surely this family meets WP:Notability requirements and justifies at least a small Wikipedia article - that is due to the news coverage they have received, let alone the fact they are (were? haven't checked yet) the richest family in a major country. If I have the time I'll work on this too.  Shalom11111 (talk) 15:25, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I've already withdrawn my suggestion of merging the family elsewhere; happy that it should continue. I've removed the last of the merge templates as I think that this has now been resolved. Feel free to improve the family page as it is a bit empty. Klbrain (talk) 06:23, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:George Vincent (painter)

message: The lead prominently features the claim that . Dutch School is a redirect to Dutch art. To my knowledge, there is no such thing as the Dutch School. Vincent may have been influenced by some Dutch landscape painters, but it is unclear which ones. The career section then goes into a little more depth, and refers to Dutch Golden Age painting as an influence, but the Influences, reputation and legacy section doesn't mention a Dutch painter. It seems likely that Vincent was familiar the work of Meindert Hobbema, a favourite of John Crome. Other likely candidates are Aelbert Cuyp and Jacob van Ruisdael. Do any sources discuss this at all? There are sources discuss Crome's Dutch influences, but I haven't found much that relates to Vincent directly. Vexations (talk) 21:07, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Gu Hongzhong

message: I don't see the point of displaying two half sections of a painting when you can just display the whole thing at once. The edited version is the same resolution as the two originals, simply wider. Thumbnails are not supposed to display the details of a picture, and if someone wanted to see a more detailed version they can click on the thumbnail, thats the point of thumbnails. It would make more sense to display the entire scroll as it was intended to be seen, instead of chopped up into half sections. As far as stretching the width of the article, that is what the wide image markup is for, which displays the image in the appropriate sized box with a scroll bar without stretching the article beyond the limits of screen resolution. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 08:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
