[edit]

A bit dim, but the best I can find. By all means replace if you find a better. Tim riley (talk) 12:54, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great work tracking it down and getting it scanned and uploaded, Tim. I know of only one better, a full-face professional portrait that's in the possession of Clark's son Conrad in Melbourne. If I had the remotest idea of how to get that image from there to here, I'd see if we could manage it. Maybe one day I'll join the 20th century. -- Jack of Oz [Talk] 08:59, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tag

[edit]

I don't think I agree with the {{tone}} tag on the top of the article. I have just reread the article carefully and didn't spot anything that seemed unencyclopedic in tone. I'll leave this message here for a week or so, after which, unless any other editor objects in the meanwhile, I propose to delete the tag. Tim riley (talk) 14:34, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems the tag was introduced on 8 March 2013 by User:Nikkimaria who didn't leave a comment here. I agree that it should be removed. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:48, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nikkimaria is an editor I respect hugely, and I'll certainly wait a bit before pressing the Blitz button. Tim riley (talk) 21:06, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey guys. IIRC, my concerns were mainly with the third para of the lead and the Resignation section - both seem a bit non-neutral to me, and the latter colloquial at times as well. But if the consensus is they're fine as-written, I have no problem with the tag being removed. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:22, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I see what you mean. Still, it seems to me that paragraph summarises detailed material from the main article, as a good introduction should. I've seen many articles drained of any colour in the last two years through overly rigid application of well-meaning essays and guidelines; this is a big loss especially for biographies about colourful personages. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:22, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I support Michael's view completely, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:30, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
