No infobox[edit]

Please do not add an infobox. See this arbitration report, and, for a more recent discussion, the talk page for the article on Stanley Kubrick. -- Hoary (talk) 03:42, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Her name (etc)[edit]

In Bakersfield newspapers of the 1920s, there are references to both "Georgia Starbuck" and "Georgie Starbuck" in dramatic productions. Presumably they refer to a single person. Was she formally "Georgia" but known as "Georgie", which eventually took over? Or was she formally "Georgie", which seemed so informal that it was "corrected" by excessively assiduous copyeditors? I don't know. (Other mysteries: when she divorced, whether she remarried, whether she had any children...) -- Hoary (talk) 03:42, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Other periodicals[edit]

A search at Hathitrust for the string "georgie starbuck galbraith" shows so many issues of Nature, Poet Lore, Supervisory Management, Westminster, and Wings that I presume she was a contributor to each. There are also occasional issues of Coda, Golden Gardens, Mississippi Highways, Participant, Primroses, Sunset and perhaps others: she might have been a one-time contributor, or she might just have been cited/quoted. None of these can be examined online. She's also in Writer's Digest October 1960 ("special poetry issue", named on the front cover with six other poets, ranging from Ginsberg to Babette Deutsch). Incidentally, the article "Georgie Galbraith is poet of stature" says that she contributed to "the Old Judge Magazine". "Old Judge" was a brand of cigarettes and perhaps other products, but unlikely as a magazine title. I've taken uppercase "Old" as a typo for "old": the magazine Judge was already defunct at the time of writing. -- Hoary (talk) 03:42, 1 February 2023 (UTC) PS Wings appears to have been a poetry magazine. -- Hoary (talk) 05:22, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers[edit]

Material by GSG appeared in a dizzying array of US newspapers. I haven't attempted to list these. Anyone with ample reserves of time and energy can look in Newspapers.com and the Newspaper Archive, each of which has plenty. Sometimes the poems are described as reprinted from magazines or other newspapers, sometimes they're within sections that appear to be syndicated, more often how they got into the newspaper isn't at all clear. -- Hoary (talk) 05:20, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

article template[edit]

i was told that this was a good article to use as a template for creating other new articles on people, anyone have other suggestions too? Iljhgtn (talk) 16:32, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
