Talk:James Parkinson

Image
I have found the following in an historical review article in a journal (see ): ''His modesty and decency are reflected by the fact that, although, during his life he was held in respect in both medical and geological circles, no portrait has as yet come to light. Parkinson also chose to write his critical and often acerbic polemical pamphlets under the nom de plume of Old Hubert, although this may have been more to preserve his anonymity in turbulent times.''

Unless we are sure that this man is the James Parkinson that described the disease we can not have its image in the article. Until then I am going to remove the image. Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 13:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

The Wikipedia page describing the origins of photography date the first daguerreotype images of people to 1837 which is 13 years after the death of Parkinson. The image shown is of a man in middle age. James Parkinson would have been 50 years old in 1805, at his death he was 69 years. This can not be an image of James Parkinson, only a drawing or painting would be credible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:630:63:150:7147:AC7E:6307:9118 (talk) 09:50, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * There is still no verified photograph of James Parkinson (1755–1824). This man is James Cumine Parkinson (1832–1887), whose portrait has erroneously been used for quite some time, as has another man's: James Parkinson, first treasurer of the British Dental Association. Yet medical researchers are still on the hunt for the elusive Dr. Parkinson. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Animalparty (talk • contribs) 08:32, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Works
I have added a number of publications to the Works section. For completeness, I have also added the publications cited in the references to the Works section. This leads to duplication, but I think makes it easier for the reader to find the material by Parkinson. Cheers Kognos (talk) 15:40, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

"Further reading"
I've removed the list of journal articles below from Further reading, it was becoming a bit too much, and many have largely redundant content (and see MOS:FURTHER), but provide them here for potential use in future development. --Animalparty! (talk) 04:14, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
