Talk:James "Athenian" Stuart

Bibliography

• The antiquities of Athens : and other monuments of Greece (London, 1762). ISBN 1402159846 (2002 reprint edition.) According to one review, this modern "facsimile" has been reduced to one-quarter size, so "the linework is so fine that it disappears in places and most of the dimensions are unreadable," and it is apparently incomplete because the original consisted of three volumes.
• Critical observations on the buildings and improvements of London (London, 1771). ISBN 0404701892 (1992 reprint edition.)

James Stuart (1713–1788) → James "Athenian" Stuart – The sobriquet "Athenian" is universally used to identify Stuart and is much more telling than the dates given in the current title Gerbis (talk) 11:10, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:36, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

• @Gerbis: Best discuss. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:37, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
• Support per nomination. Most sources, such as this article in The Guardian do indeed refer to subject as James "Athenian" Stuart. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 12:45, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
• Support per above. Station1 (talk) 17:42, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
• Support per nom. In his time, like now, James Stuart was a terribly common name with a very famous claim, and disambiguation was needed. He was disambiguated with "Athenian" in his own time following his publications primarily on ancient Athens. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:07, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
