Talk:Edith Watson

[edit]

It's great to have more of Watson's photos available, but it's probably not ideal to include them all in this article. We generally discourage galleries (see WP:GALLERY for an explanation). We already have a link to her category on Wikicommons where users can find all of the media we have available. Pburka (talk) 23:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lesbian / LGBT?

[edit]

This article is included in Lesbian and LGBT categories, but the prose does not mention either. Is there a reliable source which states her sexual orientation? ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:42, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Her relationship with her partner, Queenie Hayward, is discussed in the "Photography career" section, and includes a citation. Amy E Hughes (talk) 11:41, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Additional support for the claim can be found here. Pburka (talk) 13:29, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

American or Canadian?

[edit]

According to the prose, she was born and died in the U.S. Was she American or Canadian? This should be noted and the categories may need to be amended accordingly. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:43, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure her citizenship really matters. She was born in the United States, but most of her career was in Canada, photographing Canadian subjects. She was a Canadian photographer (i.e. a photographer of Canada who lived in Canada) whether or not she had a Canadian passport. Pburka (talk) 02:20, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
