Pronunciation[edit]

Does anyone know the correct pronunciation of "Gipps"? The Japanese article gives the pronunciation (ギップス) with a hard G as in "give", whereas the Russian article (Джипс) indicates the soft J sound as in "jig". Hrdinský (talk) 06:22, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I came here to ask pretty much the same question (great minds and all that). I live in a part of Australia called Gippsland, named after a Governor of New South Wales George Gipps. Both he and the place named after him have only ever been pronounced with a hard G. -- JackofOz (talk) 08:17, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My assumption is that whoever wrote the Russian article made an assumption that it was a soft G. That person's assumption may have been incorrect. But so might my assumption be. However, I compare this with George Gipp - "win just one for the Gipper", and all that. He had a hard G, and I can't see why Gipps would be soft where Gipp is hard. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 21:14, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As a member of the Gipps family I can confirm our name has a hard G. My aunt, Ruth Gipps, most certainly used a hard G.(Sir George Gipps, Governor of New South Wales was also a relation, and his descendant, my 6th cousin, uses a hard G too!)Jane Gipps (talk) 21:09, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality and citations[edit]

The article reads a little flowery to me, especially regarding Gipps' role as a female figure in the classical realm. The "and female, to boot" qualification in the opening paragraph could probably be dropped (or re-phrased more objectively), for instance. The non-neutral language is actually relatively minor, but it nonetheless reads in her favor. Citations would help here as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexChao (talk • contribs) 22:43, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above. I have removed the reference to her being "one of the most prolofic composers in Britain" as I really don't think the claim can be justified; her overall output is not particularly large in comparison with many British composers of the 20th century. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Figaro-ahp (talk • contribs) 12:30, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion[edit]

The following statements appear contradictory: "An early success came when Sir Henry Wood conducted her tone poem Knight in Armour at the Last Night of the Proms in 1942" and "Her music was not featured in the Proms or broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in her lifetime" Can someone knowledgeable clarify the situation?
