Education

[edit]

Neither of the two sources --name=MCAD and name=ca, formerly cited together-- mentions the Bachelor of Fine Arts or specifies that she received that from MCAD, as we said previously. My interpretation is: fine arts major Pomona College [presum. about age 20]; considered arts school in her mid-20s; graduate degree MCAD 1981. So I rewrote the end of our section 1 first paragraph thus, with three separately located superscripts for the two sources.

I did make our article Bachelor of Fine Arts the target for wikilink "fine arts major" by inference from our sources and that article. --P64 (talk) 21:04, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dates, age

[edit]

We do not give any birth year in the text or infobox but the page is in Category:1954 births and the hidden footer template {{Persondata}} gives date of birth 1954-02-13. Wikipedia has pages for MGP in six other languages (see the left margin) and WikiData: Mary GrandPré has DoB 1954 (no month or day) with source "imported from Persian Wikipedia"(!).

Previously our text and infobox provided no dates at all, and no age-related information after 10 or 12, which is ridiculous. I added the mid-twenties career-ish semi-decision (text) and 1981 graduate degree (text, infobox) because those two infobits are evident in the two sources that I skimmed (see preceding section).

The Library of Congress (see next section) gives date of birth 1954-02-13 from Cataloging in Publication data provided 1993 for Chin Yu Min and the Ginger Cat by Jennifer Armstrong. We have listed that picture book as publ 1996 but LC gives 1993 publication date too.
Evidently that was the work for which MGP was added to LC Cat, likely to be her first book published. It will be the earliest work we list, when I move it to the top as 1993 momentarily. --P64 (talk) 21:37, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Writer

[edit]

What does she write? Is there anything published beside the 2005 children's picture book "/written and illustrated by Tom Casmer and MGP" LC catalog record? (Even that shows only that husband, wife, and publisher chose to credit both of them jointly for both text and picture.) In the search report for her at Library of Congress Online Catalog, every one of the 40 listings (see External links) gives the name of another person primarily --including the one appearance of "Casmer, Tom", which is also the only listing in which string "written and illustrated" appears.

Momentarily I will delete "writer" from the lead sentence, as previously from the infobox "Known for", and will remove the page from American women writers. --P64 (talk) 21:32, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
