Vincent Korda

Hi, thankyou for your message, I would like to help you with the changes you have made. In order to stick they need verifying references because that is what wikipedia asks for in biographies to make sure they are correct and to allow readers to access the extra information. Could you let me know of any website links, newspaper or magazine articles, books or academic journals that verify your edits such as commentary on his work as an artist, family details, and personal details so that I can add them as references, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 20:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

It is possible to search for Vincent Korda's paintings online. There is a entry for him in benezit dictionary of artists.

New York times obituary which has inaccuracies about where Vincent was and when he was there, and dear Leila died in 1972 when Henry (Vincent after his father), youngest child was 14.

It is very unfortunate, but there are writings here and there by third parties trying to chronicle the lives of the 3 brothers and more often than not, they are not accurate with regards to who, when and where. It is only the 3 children of Vincent and Leila who know about their father in depth, as they lived with him in Chelsea, London in a family unit, while Michael lived abroad.

I will send on anything else I find. 84.67.43.145 (talk) 23:02, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
