See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:
Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!
Penultimate paragraph: "There he met many of American abstract expressionists, including Marc Rothko who, along with his wife Mel, became great friends. The success contributed to an award of the John Moore Prize for 1965." Can anyone explain what this means? Robocon1 (talk) 00:50, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that several sentences in this section are unclear, and unsourced, so I am removing the following from the last paragraph of the Career section:
"At the Barbara Schaeffer Society in New York, 1960 he put on his first exhibition in USA. There he met many of American abstract expressionists, including Marc Rothko who, along with his wife Mel, became great friends. The success contributed to an award of the John Moore Prize for 1965."
In addition to the statement about "the success" being unclear, there is no source that states he won the John Moore prize in 1965, and he is not listed on the John Moores Painting Prize wiki page. There is also no source for the "Barbara Schaefer Society" and I can find no record of such a society. I have, however, found an article from the 1964 Arts Yearbook on the New York Gallery Scene stating that Frost was represented by the Bertha Schaefer Gallery in New York, and will be adding this to the page.
