Talk:George Bridgman

Clarify, please
Bridgman used box forms to represent the major masses of the figure (head, thorax, and pelvis) which he would tie together with gestural lines and produce to create "wedges" or simplified interconnecting forms of the body.
 * As the only clue to Bridgman's technique on the page, this leaves the general reader none the wiser. Please elucidate. Valetude (talk) 19:41, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Date of birth and place of birth discrepancies
I am adding a note here because there are some discrepancies based on citations for George B. Bridgman's date of birth (1864     vs. 1869 vs. 1865 vs. November 5, 1865, the latter was the existing DOB on the article without a citation), and place of birth (Byng, Ontario, Canada  vs. "Western Canada" vs. Bing, Mouk County, Canada ). I was not able to find any references online to a "Bing, Mouk County, Canada" existing, so perhaps it was a typo. I have added related citations here in attempts to facilitated conversations and/or determinations. Jooojay (talk) 06:07, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

 * OK, I am still not seeing any "Bing, Canada" or "Monk county" or "county of Monk" in Canada. Byng Inlet is located in Eastern Canada, not Western Canada. Since it's still unclear I removed the city of birth and left it simply as Canada for now. And added circa to the DOB: Nov. 05, 1864. Jooojay (talk) 03:40, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I took the "c." out. His published says 1864, that's good enough.Carptrash (talk) 05:24, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * there are three different published years of birth, the most reliable source, being the Canadian government has his date of birth as 1869. Jooojay (talk) 05:47, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * A fairly recent Master'sThesis (https://www.worldcat.org/title/artists-of-influence-americas-great-teaching-artists/oclc/793207080&referer=brief_results) says 1864. Carptrash (talk) 05:55, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

we cannot use thesis or original research here. My point is there is no consensus. Jooojay (talk) 06:14, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
