To follow up

 * ”In 1929, Ewers persuaded the editor of the West Australian newspaper to publish a series of articles he had written on Australian writers. Called ‘Pioneers of the Pen’, the third was on Joseph Furphy. A copy, Ewers writes in his autobiography, Long Enough for a Joke (1983), ‘found its way’ to Furphy’s close friend and champion, Kate Baker, and they struck up a correspondence. With her first letter to him Baker sent Ewers a copy of C Hartley Grattan’s Australian Literature ‘with its 2 pages on Furphy’ (Long Enough 116). From then on, Ewers became ‘willingly the slave of Kate Baker in the service of Joseph Furphy’ (Long Enough 116). Then in 1938 Hartley Grattan himself briefly visited Perth and a small group of local writers (pictured here) entertained him at dinner. Inspired by this meeting, they went on to establish a West Australian branch of the Federation of Australian Writers (FAWWA), with Ewers as its Foundation President.”
 * She wrote a book, Silhouettes. Needs to be located at State Library.

Authority control
Why collapse the authority control? We don’t do that in any other articles. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 19:17, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Denial of OABot
Is there any specific reason for OABot to be excluded from editing this page? The template was added in Special:Diff/1031479908, and I don't see why the editor decided to block the bot. I can't ask the editor in question as they have since been ArbCom blocked. If no one can see a reason for this to be here, I'd say the bot should be un-denied.
