A fact from Edward Clark (conductor) appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the Did you know column on 28 February 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Edward Clark was the only British student of Arnold Schoenberg, conducted the first British performance of his Chamber Symphony No. 1, and invited him to conduct his Gurre-Lieder for the BBC?

A record of the entry may be seen at Misplaced Pages:Recent additions/2013/February. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Edward Clark (conductor).

Misplaced Pages

Image

A bit dim, but the best I can find. By all means replace if you find a better. Tim riley (talk) 12:54, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Great work tracking it down and getting it scanned and uploaded, Tim. I know of only one better, a full-face professional portrait that's in the possession of Clark's son Conrad in Melbourne. If I had the remotest idea of how to get that image from there to here, I'd see if we could manage it. Maybe one day I'll join the 20th century. -- Jack of Oz 08:59, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Tag

I don't think I agree with the {{tone}} tag on the top of the article. I have just reread the article carefully and didn't spot anything that seemed unencyclopedic in tone. I'll leave this message here for a week or so, after which, unless any other editor objects in the meanwhile, I propose to delete the tag. Tim riley (talk) 14:34, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

It seems the tag was introduced on 8 March 2013 by User:Nikkimaria who didn't leave a comment here. I agree that it should be removed. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:48, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Nikkimaria is an editor I respect hugely, and I'll certainly wait a bit before pressing the Blitz button. Tim riley (talk) 21:06, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Hey guys. IIRC, my concerns were mainly with the third para of the lead and the Resignation section - both seem a bit non-neutral to me, and the latter colloquial at times as well. But if the consensus is they're fine as-written, I have no problem with the tag being removed. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:22, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

I see what you mean. Still, it seems to me that paragraph summarises detailed material from the main article, as a good introduction should. I've seen many articles drained of any colour in the last two years through overly rigid application of well-meaning essays and guidelines; this is a big loss especially for biographies about colourful personages. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:22, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
