Bibliography

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 02:52, 23 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

There doesn't seem to be a newspaper obituary anywhere yet, but he died in early May https://charlessaumarezsmith.com/2022/05/08/john-harris/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.102.142.72 (talk) 13:21, 16 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Birthplace

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Hit a little problem with his birthplace. The Times says, "Born in 1931 in Hackney, London".^[1] The Art Newspaper says, "born Cowley, Middlesex, 13 August 1931".^[2] I’m not quite sure how to square this circle. Perhaps just say he was born in London? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:02, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

A third source makes no mention of his birthplace.^[3] Perhaps just leave it out? Malcolmxl5 (talk) 10:59, 7 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
