Talk:Mary Nolan (artist)

Ambiguous?
''She began a relationship, the nature of which is ambiguous, with Sidney Nolan during the 1970s while his wife Cynthia was still alive. ''
 * Ambiguous in what way? Valetude (talk) 16:02, 9 August 2022 (UTC)


 * @Valetude iirc the sources describe it this way as it is unclear if the relationship was romantic or not. I need to go back and check them though. Any ideas for better phrasing? I started this article a little while ago and need to return to get it to a more complete standard. Vladimir.copic (talk) 22:53, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I would have put : 'She began a relationship, possibly romantic, with...' Valetude (talk) 23:36, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Feel free to make the edit :) Vladimir.copic (talk) 23:52, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Birth date
None of the obituaries we cite mentions her specific dates, but her gravestone says 8 November 1926, cf. our 9 November 1926. Can this be clarified? -- Jack of Oz  [pleasantries]  04:50, 4 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I am guessing that I am the one who put this date in. I can't remember where I got it from but I need to recheck the Joan Kerr source. From a quick search the most specific I can find in a source is just November 1926. I'll see if I can access the Kerr book today. I don't have a problem with matching this to the gravestone but it would be good to back this with a source. Vladimir.copic (talk) 23:48, 5 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Verily. Generally, gravestone details are correct, but there are some notable exceptions. -- Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  00:37, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Couldn't find the Kerr book but while in the art section I had a look through some other books for a DoB but came up blank (this isn't helped by Mary being known variously as Mary Boyd, Mary Perceval and Mary Nolan). I probably just introduced this error when I created the article and will fix it up now. Vladimir.copic (talk) 06:15, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
