Talk:Walter Chappell

Close paraphrasing
This article is pretty close to a SF Gate article. These sections should be rewritten to create an original article and to alleviate any copyright concerns.--RadioFan (talk) 10:53, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I notice you simultaneously added an unsourced blp tag, which seems a strange procedure when you found a source yourself and neglected to add it. I added the NYT obit; you are right, that the article needs rewriting, but with two such excellent sources, there should be no problem.  DGG ( talk ) 20:15, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * These two sources are actually one; the SF gate article is a mirror of the NYT. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:58, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Dubious Chronology
Assuming this article is written in historical sequence, Chappell's relocation to San Francisco must have been after his 1961 relocation to Wingdale, NY. While Imogen Cunningham and Ansel Adams were both active in Northern California during this period, Edward Weston, alas, had been dead since 1958 (as his linked Wikipedia article makes clear). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grantbw (talk • contribs) 20:35, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Spiritual Teacher
Mysteriously, there is no mention that he was also a spiritual teacher. His most notable student was psychologist Dr. Robert Saltzman. My guess is that he was in the Western Zen tradition (because that is Saltzman's most frequent reference point), but I do not know for sure. 162.205.217.211 (talk) 23:08, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
