Talk:Sacheverell Sitwell

The description of his book on Poltergeists
The last sentence is misleading, as he also concludes that some of these cases are likely genuine, if caused by an unknown sort of psi on the part of the putative agent, rather than a ghost or some other kind of disembodied agency. I will edit this sentence slightly to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.111.13.39 (talk) 03:30, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Naming
See From WP:NCNT#4:
 * Baronets, as they hold hereditary titles, often for a large part of their lives, follow the same practice as hereditary peers and should have their title noted in the beginning of the article. The format is Sir John Smith, 17th Baronet. For the article title, this format should only be used when disambiguation is necessary; otherwise, the article should be located at John Smith. John Smith, 17th Baronet should never be used with the postfix and without the prefix.

Therefore this articles name should be changed.--Ginggangsgoolies 20:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Should be OK to move. The 7th Baronet goes by the name "Reresby", and it's hard to imagine what other Sacheverell Sitwell would take precedence over this one as principal holder of the name. Choess 17:56, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Gothic Europe
Gothic Europe, 1969, is a very partial work. The writer admits to never having visited Devon and is thus unable to locate Exeter within the development of English gothic in any accurate way. His avoidance of York results in the ommission of the only English example of thin-wall Rayonnant within the English great church tradition. As a piece of belle-lettre it is a good read. As a source of information it would be better to use the Shell guides for the pictures and Pevsner for real information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sweatyman (talk • contribs) 10:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Caption
His wife's portrait is captioned: Georgia Doble Sitwell by William Acton (1906-1945) I don't think the artist's dates are necessary, and I tried to remove them, but couldn't retrieve the picture. Perhaps someone else could perform this. Valetude (talk) 01:46, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
