The contemporary artists are from the UK and Ireland, and one was born in South Africa. Inaccurate to describe them as "British Isles" poets, and unreferenced to boot. The NPG refers to these portraits in this way: "led to a one-man show of contemporary poets at the Gallery in 1990". I'll list the artists and their nationality instead. --HighKing (talk) 00:45, 6 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Concur, no reference to say that the poets were selected as belonging to the British Isles, it just says contemporary. Inserting BI is original research without a reference and there is no excuse for edit warring.  -- Snowded  TALK  16:57, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Interpretation. This is just an OR claim being used to justify POV. Please list those who are edit warring. LemonMonday    Talk   17:00, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I am not interested in your speculation as to the motives of other editors. This is a content issue.  There is nothing in the exhibition literature that says the poets were selected as "British Isles", it is thus clearly OR to insert that. Please respond to the content issue with a reference or an argument -- Snowded  TALK  17:11, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree no ref to say selection based on belonging to the British Isles. Mo ainm  ~Talk  17:27, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * You're not bothered about references, at least you aren't at Neil Robertson (snooker player), so what gives? Don't answer that, I already know. You and the rest of them are just POV pushing anything to do with British Isles to try and remove the term wherever you can. LemonMonday    Talk   18:31, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That is another article. Please address the content issues raised here and stop speculating on motives -- Snowded  TALK  18:42, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's indirectly relevant here. It highlights these POV antics. If HighKing hadn't tried to remove BI from this article do you think anyone would be that concerned about it? Not a bit of it. The use of BI here is completely minor and verging on the incidental. The mention OR in the context of its use here is banal. LemonMonday    Talk   18:48, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, can you take a quick look at this article again please? You stated that he had a one-man exhibition and tour in the Gallery in April 1990 "Contemporary Poets", which consisted of 17 large canvasses of 20 Britsh Isles poets. I've cannot find a reference for "British Isles" poets, and one of the poets was born in South Africa. I've tried to edit the article, but my edits are being reverted. Seeing as how you wrote the original piece, it's probably quicker if you have a chance to give your opinion. Thank you! --HighKing (talk) 19:22, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your comment. Each of the poets was painted in the British Isles, and all of them, including Carlin, lives or lived, all or most of their lives in the British Isles. However when I get a chance I will list all the poets (http://www.peteredwards.net/contemporarypoets.htm) painted (and where) with links and references. Also a comprehensive list of tour dates and venues.--Hughlay1407 22:08, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've reverted your latest changes to the article, for now, no insult intended. Can we discuss what it is you're trying to say first (either here or on the article Talk page).
