Talk:James Thomson (poet, born 1700)

Title
I would never have guessed the title without the help of a disambiguation page. Shouldn't he be James Thomson (poet)? Bluewave 18:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

The Seasons
The link to his 'masterpiece', The Seasons, redirects to this page, where it is barely discussed. If it is such a masterwork, perhaps it deserves a page of its own? Drobba (talk) 14:37, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Requested move 4 March 2015
– Fairly simple WP:NCPDAB request. They're both Scottish, so nationality is out. James Thomson (weaver poet) is probably fine, since these two wouldn't be described as weaver poets, though James Thomson (poet, born 1763) is at least a good redirect. --BDD (talk) 19:46, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * James Thomson (poet) → James Thompson (poet, born 1700)
 * James Thomson (B.V.) → James Thompson (poet, born 1834)
 * Support per nom. The "(poet)" is clearly untenable and exceeding ambiguous with three poets by the name having articles. It should redirect to the disambiguation page -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 06:05, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support but prefer James Thompson (poet, 1700-1748). --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:57, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support that B.V. is just baffling — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.162.73 (talk) 21:09, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Abolitionist forunner?
Under 'see also' it says 'list of abolitionist forerunners'. Was Thomson a critic of slavery? There is nothing about that in the article, so it should be included if he was. LastDodo (talk) 11:01, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
