Picture
A picture of her would be good, but for an artist, there really should be several pictures of her work, perhaps one early, one middle, one late.

If we are to mention her sculpture Vine on the main page, people will expect to see it when they come. I'm a sculptor too, and frankly, I'd rather have a picture of my work on Wiki than a picture of me! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Billyshiverstick (talk • contribs) 02:29, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Point taken, but in order to have a picture it should be free use, and I don't have one, and didn't find one appropriately licenced amongst the images I located online. What I'm hoping is that someone (or me, next time i'm in Sydney) will photograph her works on public display there and upload them. But they have to be works on permanent public display, otherwise the image falls foul of Australian copyright law, even if the photographer wishes to licence the image for free use. hamiltonstone (talk) 02:56, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to see somebody did the hard work and got many shots of her work over the last 11 years! That is why articles should make the main page now and again, to draw improvements. Copyright and pictures is such a bugbear. Next up is an artist photo or two. Even some stills from the movie on her. I wish more people with photos would think to splash them on Wikipedia. cheers Billyshiverstick (talk) 05:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Full name
Though not a suitable or necessary reference for the article, there is an online record of a memorial that records her full name and family members:

proposal to change from english-language variety tag from British to Australian
Bronwyn Oliver was born, raised and spent of her life in Australia. i propose to change english-language variety tag from British English to Australian English. i took this decision after asking in teahouse and reading National varieties of English. i request editors and experienced personnel to guide or provide suggestion. -28au21 (talk) 11:51, 4 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment: The article Australian English suggests that the differences between written Australian English and written British English are very minor. -- Hoary (talk) 12:13, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * That seems a good idea, go ahead and change it. Hoary is right, the differences are limited, but Australian would be the appropriate variety for this article, thanks. hamiltonstone (talk) 09:18, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Seems sensible to me, though I've seen very few practical differences between British and Australian English here. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:54, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I was going to suggest EngvarB. But its doc currently says The template and its use do not imply any statement, endorsement or otherwise of the code of English used in the tagged article. So until that position changes and the community can agree on reversing the proliferation of "Use X English" (not bloody likely), then yes Use Australian is more appropriate than Use British, even though they are effectively the same thing. (Disclosure: I'm Australian myself, and have nothing against Aussie lingo per se, but I also see myself as part of an international English-writing community.) ⁓ Pelagic ( messages ) 16:50, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
