Casing and year of 'Ghosts...'

A couple contradictions in the sources that need clarification. Is Ghosts in the form of gifts a 2009 or 2010 start date? The subject's website says 2009. Uppercasing is used in one source, the subject's website, and in the presentation of the 2010 New Zealand Open Source Awards, although it is lowercased by another source (per sources uppercasing seems accurate or at least most sourced). Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:26, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out and for your positive comments in the deletion discussion—much appreciated. I'm taking stock of the article, this and all the other comments to plan improvements. Arnhemcr (talk) 06:30, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've rewritten and expanded Ghosts in the Form of Gifts using Wikipedia title case for its name, as there's such variation, and confirming 2009 as the year from Dornauf (2012) (who also goes with Wikipedia title case). Thanks. Arnhemcr (talk) 18:31, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for researching the year and name. It seems the right choice, given that the artist's website uppercases GitFoG, as do some sources. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:51, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed restructure

I don't think separating Education and Career is working as Holloway-Smith has moved between the two a couple of times. Here's a rough sketch of a proposed new structure:

Working life
- Initial sentence to cover the BA Fine Art
- Between degree and doctorate section with subsections:
  - Ghosts in the Form of Gifts (2009)
  - Founding of CFFNZ
  - Pioneer City (2010)
  - possibly Repeal of s 92A and advocacy on its replacement
  - Whistle Down the Line (2012) - to be written (TBW)
  - decision to do doctorate and CFFNZ hiatus
- Doctorate - TBW
  - initial scope around the Southern Cross Cable
  - the unexpected find, E. Mervyn Taylor Mural Search and Recovery Project and book
  - other doctorate projects: the dive to the Southern Cross Cable, the map of landmarks and the exhibition
- PAHANZ
  - origins of PAHANZ in the E. Mervyn Taylor project and the spreadsheet or cover this in the E. Mervyn Taylor section above - TBW
  - Guy Ngan project, Bledisloe Bebop (2020) and ideally the return of Forest in the Sun (1976) from Te Papa to the Beehive if a reliable source for PAHANZ "getting the ball rolling" can be found - TBW

I haven't found any sources for an Early life section before Holloway-Smith's degree. The E. Mervyn Taylor book has brief details on Holloway-Smith's own family but I'm not sure it justifies a Personal life section.

Any thoughts?

I have restructured the article along the lines described above. The ORES predicted quality is now GA (4.71), so I have changed the class from Start to B. Arnhemcr (talk) 22:40, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
