Link checking[edit]

I added a few internal links using the can we link it tool but didn't check them too carefully. Lots of wikifying still needed. --Sultec (talk) 09:18, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did some cleanup and removed the articleissues tag, checked the links mentioned above. Of course, the article could use more editing. Hopefully, we'll see more substantial discussion here rather than just tags. --Sultec (talk) 16:44, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tidying Soltec(tho' I've removed the Toxteth Park link to Liverpool as Toxteth Park was a large house in Sydney,NSW)This was my first WIKI and as such I was aware that it looked rather amateur. If You know how to upload Marian's picture(there's one by Grimjimjar at www.flickr.com)it would improve this and it might also be possible to put an external link to www.classicpoetryaloud.com where The Wind on the Downs is beautifully read.

As this is a straight biographical page it might be better to create a Marian Poetry page and use that for discussion. --grolstar (talk) 16:27, 15 October 2008 (UTC)Grolstar[reply]

Grimjimjar has a copyright notice on that photo so we can't use that without some fair use contortions (which I'm not ready to deal with) Maybe the folks at Portal:Poetry can advise on starting a Marian Poetry page. I'd develop something in your sandbox and then ask for reviews. I guess I'm not sure about how to separate her poetry from her biography. --Sultec (talk) 05:41, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photo as source[edit]

Never saw a photo used as a source. Take a look at source "8". Is that legit? QrackerJack (talk) 09:23, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
