I have a problem with this assumption. Is the original author of this article a lit major? As a Modern History major myself, with a strong interest in diplomacy, I knew a lot about Nicolson in college before I ever had any idea who his wife was. --Michael K. Smith 23:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Over the past few days, several sentences have been created.  I applaud the addition of such meticulously referenced facts, but would question whether they are strictly relevant in this article:
: In her autobiographic sketch written in 1920, Vita Sackville-West described the alternating stages of her life: after a very tomboyish childhood and an adolescent lesbian relationship, her marriage to Harold Nicolson "brought out all the feminine" in her [3]. She took pains with her appearance, socialized as the charming young diplomat's wife and had two children [4]. Although later, in 1918, when Harold was away on an assignment, she returned to her lesbian life and had a love affair with her friend Violet Keppel [5].
The couple's open marriage and same-sex affairs are referred to elsewhere in the existing article, as are their children.  I don't think the three sentences I've copied here really add to the article on Harold himself.  I will let this stand for 48 hours in case another editor wishes to justify or amend them.

replies: text: "After Nicolson's last attempt to enter Parliament [1948] failed, he continued with an extensive social schedule and his programme of writing, which included books, book reviews, and a weekly column for The Spectator." - he 60+ by then - what more do you want?

message: There is no mention of his dealings with Curzon. His book "Some People" would be a good source, but I don't remember it very well. A friend who knew him told me Curzon had rescued him from a degraded life, but that would be OR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seadowns  (talk • contribs) 12:40, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
