message: This sentence: "After graduating Wright studied philosophy and history at the University of Sydney." Shouldn't that be after matriculating? You matriculate from high school, graduate from university? Another thing is her studies at Sydney Uni - I believe she ignored the syllabus and instead read every book mentoined in the Waste Land (a bit hazy on this, but pretty sure she did something exceptional like this) - and then went to Europe for a year, a formative experience. Anyone with access to the right books (I have none) can check this out and write something? PiCo 03:40, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Education 

message: In N.T.E James' biography "Judith Wright: a troubled poet" James explores the little known side of Wright's upbringing, her struggle with her mental disease of Down's Syndrome. This affected her as it was her disease which prevented her from perceiving the terrible treatment of the Aboriginals until she was older than a normal child would realise their dire situation. Her struggle was overlooked in light of her more significant struggle for Aboriginal rights, ATFER she one day realised what seemed innocent to her as a child loving her land was really quite sinister.
James also explores how Wright overcame her down's syndrome through treatment as a child, and her ability to write poetry is a tribute to this.
::: It would be interesting to put in sourced facts about her Down's. It's not mentioned, that I can see, in the article. Please add. Spanglej (talk) 22:21, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

message: It's placement in the section 'Bibliography' seems a bit out of place. Am I right? *puzzled* TheKnight27 (talk) 03:42, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

message: We say she died 26 June 2000, which is well cited, but there are many good citations for a death the previous night, 25 June.
* See House of Representatives motion at 1:52 pm on Monday 26 June, where her death "last night" is noted.  
* Mention was made in the Senate on Tuesday 27 June, where she is said to have died "last weekend", i.e. Sunday 25 June. 
* National Library says 25 June. 
* AustLit has 25 June.
I'm persuaded 25 June is a more accurate date.  Comments?  --  Jack of Oz [your turn] 09:21, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I've changed the date to 25 June, with 5 good citations.  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 08:50, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bibliography 

message: Hi, I have just rated this article (for child lit) as a 'c' class. I was going to rate it as a 'b' in line with other projects but on looking at it from first a child lit point of view and then digging deeper I feel it warrants a c, albeit a high one. Some reasons why: only three of her children's books are listed (I just added one:)), she brought out over 600 works and the article lists less then 50, and a lot of them have the title and year of publication only; Awards list 3, she won a lot more (including an Aussie treasure?); no mention of her 5 honorary degrees; article needs more words on her Aboriginal advocacy eg. involvement (co-founder of?) with Aboriginal Treaty Committee; plus there are probably more issues.
