Teaching ?

I read in the entry for Blundells School that Gill is listed among "Notable former masters", but that fact is not mentioned in Gill's biography. Does anyone have information about this?

Franciscus montmartinensis

Angelia or Angela?

Both names are given in the article as his sister's name. Which is correct? 2A01:4C8:D20:B91C:1:1:9C53:5003 (talk) 15:47, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's a typo. Thank you for pointing it out. Fixed. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:10, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and a query

JMF - First off, thanks for an exemplary example of how to handle a highly controversial subject in a comprehensive but sensitive way. I think the article strikes a very good balance between detail and discretion. Can I also ask a couple of questions? I came to Gill's page via the Johnston Monument, which I created to fill a gap, here. The Johnston Monument appears to have very little coverage online, e.g. I can find no image beyond the one in the Historic England Heritage at Risk Register. Do any of the book sources on Gill, which I'm guessing you have, make any mention of it? I'm also interested to untangle the links with Edward Johnston and the Johnston family, within the bounds of Wikipedia:No original research. How, for example, is Edward related to Geoffrey Stewart Johnston, whose memorial it is? And is he also related to Harry Johnston, commemorated by Gill in another church? No worries if you can't help, but many thanks in anticipation. KJP1 (talk) 11:13, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@KJP1: Thank you but I can't claim to be a major contributor of content to the article; my main effort was to validate the citations as I had hoped we could get it up to wp:Good article status. Sorry nothing I have goes that wide. I borrowed McCarthy from Archive.org (have you tried https://archive.org/search?query=%22Eric+Gill%22 ? Quite a few books available to borrow there that may help.)

Pinging 14GTR, who also contributed substantially to the article and who may have something? --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:41, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Those are some really helpful suggestions. Now I just need to find my Internet Archive password! Thanks again. KJP1 (talk) 12:34, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
