William Kay Blacklock
[edit]
- ... that the painter William Kay Blacklock lived with his mother until he got married at the age of almost 30 (example artwork pictured)?
Created by Xanthomelanoussprog (talk), honorary Dyk member Sagaciousphil (talk). Nominated by Hafspajen (talk) at 14:58, 3 October 2014 (UTC).
- Ah? It was user Crisco 1492's courtesy, and we thought it was kind of funny. Se User:Sagaciousphil talk. Hafspajen (talk) 21:10, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- My mistake. It seems to have gotten scrambled on me. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:47, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- You mean that the woman is not his mother? Hafspajen (talk) 22:04, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, who is the woman in the painting? It doesn't say it is his wife. (Although it could be. She was his model before he married her. The painting is c. 1900) The source says that he married Nellie in 1909, the article (and the hook) imply earlier. But the hook is definitely wrong, as he left for Edinburgh in 1902, and did not marry Nellie until 1909. Hawkeye7 (talk)
- Yes, it is probably only a model. Maybe her or not. Nothing sure. I tried to find out now but have no info. Hafspajen (talk) 00:24, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- OK; Hawkeye7 - it IS the wife, see here http://artsalesindex.artinfo.com/asi/lots/928900 - it is the same woman. But - change hook. Hafspajen (talk) 13:43, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- Get Xanthomelanoussprog and
Fylbecatulousto fix the article too. Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:51, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

- Hawkeye7, Sagaciousphil, Xanthomelanoussprog, I have no idea what needs to be done here now to fix. I did not want this article to be nominated to begin with for just these stressful reasons and said so on one of the creators talk pages. I wish to withdraw my name from the nomination. This is the first DYK nomination I have been involved in and I pray you will allow me this grace. Fylbecatulous talk 01:12, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
