Thomas Whythorne

I added a sentence aboout Warlock's rediscovery of the works of Thomas Whythorne, although, as I am not an expert on this topic, my addition probably appears hamfisted. Feel free to better work it into the article. --Roisterer 09:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

A blackly humorous comment on his suicide

A commentator (I don't recall who) put it this way: His suicide was almost a musician's wish fulfillment: A composer (Warlock) murdering a music critic (Heseltine).Saxophobia 00:22, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Photo?

This page has several images of warlock, and a photo would nicely enhance the wikipedia article. Clearly, the photographs are old; but have they passed into the public domain yet? I read on Misplaced Pages:Finding_images_tutorial that photos before 1923 are in the public domain, and since warlock died in 1930 there are obviously going to be some of these out there. --Starwed 13:40, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikilink suggestions

The recent extension of this article by Brianboulton is marvellous.
For those whose English vocabulary doesn't cover the more obscure terms, would it be possible to work a wikilink to warlock into the lead, or into the name's 1st mention?
Nitpick: a link to Wikt:factotum might be more helpful than to the disambiguation page factotum. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:29, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Terrific article, front page?

This is a brilliantly written and researched article, so good that it really makes me want to write something of similar quality (but I expect I shall fall short!)

I note Hestletine was born on 30th October, which has not been scheduled yet for Today's Featured Article. Would this be a suitable candidate Brian? (I know some FA writers don't really like having articles put on the front page). Rob (talk) 21:24, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

I've been away, just seen this kind comment for which many thanks. Brianboulton (talk) 18:35, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

I have provisionally noted 30 October 2014 (PW's 120th birthday) as a possible TFA date. Brianboulton (talk) 11:56, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Wrong Photo of Abbey Theatre

The Abbey Theatre in the photo in this article is NOT the Abbey Theatre that existed during Warlock's lifetime. The theatre company has moved at least once, maybe twice, since 1930, and the building in the photo is jarringly out of synch with everything else on the page. It would be great if someone could replace the current photo with one of the Abbey Theatre of the 1920s (I'd do it myself, but I don't know how to). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.110.216.193 (talk) 20:26, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Reversion of infobox

I considered tinkering with the added infobox to remove the irrelevant information included in it. However, on further consideration I believe that, as this article obtained FA status (the highest classification possible for a WP article), no infbox should be added without a formal justification and evdience that it improves the article. In the present case I believe that it in fact diminished the article, not least because it was an assorted ragbag of information which distracted rather than informed; the relevant information it contained is all in the initial sentences of the lead. I cannot personally conceive how any infobox can in any way improve this excellent article. I have therefore reverted it.--Smerus (talk) 08:23, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Quite agree. Alfietucker (talk) 08:29, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

I consider myself wrist-slapped. Sorry. Catsmeat (talk) 09:05, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Don't. Smerus is bullshitting. "no infobox should be added without a formal justification" is utter bunkum. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:21, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Smerus is *not* bullshitting - unlike you, Andy, he has given cogent reasons for his edit, and to his credit he did 'try on' the infobox and so confirmed that it has no legitimate place here. Alfietucker (talk) 10:18, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
