Talk:Charles Roscoe Savage

Books
The article looks pretty good, but no details of his books? There's plenty of information at Worldcat. I suggest adding them with ISBNs where these exist and with OCLC numbers where ISBNs don't exist. -- Hoary (talk) 05:59, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

More control
With my "vague" tag:
 *  Unlike many other frontier photographers, he retained the original glass plate negatives of his photographs; he used the wet-plate collodion process, giving him more control over their use.&lt;!-- What gave him more control than would have what? --&gt; 

The "vague" tag has now been stripped. But the meaning is no less obscure.

If it read simply:


 *  Unlike many other frontier photographers, he retained the original glass plate negatives of his photographs, giving him more control over their use. 

then that would be fine: his retention of the negatives gave him more control over them than other photographers had over the negatives that they did not retain. But no, it has a complication that obscures its meaning. (Unless I'm suffering from mild heat stroke, of course.) Just what is the comparison here? -- Hoary (talk) 05:13, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Hoary, I've looked over the article and the passage it refers to and have decided to incorporate copyright infringement as this is why he retained the original glass plate negatives.


 * To protect his work from copyright infringement, he retained the original glass plate negatives of his photographs, giving him more control over their use.

Thank you for following up. Gandhi (BYU) (talk) 17:22, 6 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, now it's good. "Vague" flag no longer needed! -- Hoary (talk) 23:07, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

We might add a link to Bust of Charles Roscoe Savage? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:01, 4 May 2021 (UTC)


 * That article should definitely be merged with this article. Epachamo (talk) 21:45, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
