Date of death discrepancy
[edit]The first edition of Gänzl's encyclopedia says Rubens died 25 Feb 1917. The second edition says 5 Feb. --Joseph Hewes (talk) 16:23, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- Everything else says 25 Feb.,including his Times obituary. Let us know if you find more original sources. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:59, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- I haven't been able to find the obituary currently cited in the article which you say gives the 25th date. But there is a Times obituary dated 6 Feb 1917 which states "Mr. Paul Rubens, the dramatic author ... died yesterday at Falmouth..." There's also an article in the Melbourne Argus from 10 May 1917 which repeats the 5 Feb date and says "a sum of £11,000 is bequeathed to Miss Phyllis Dare." --Joseph Hewes (talk) 07:34, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
OK, I changed the date. What is the page number of the 6 Feb. Times obit? Does it have any info in it that the article is missing? -- Ssilvers (talk) 13:50, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know. The online Times archive is subscription-based. The above came from the free preview excerpt. --Joseph Hewes (talk) 17:27, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
consumptive disease ??
[edit]The lead paragraph refers to "consumptive disease". I think this refers to a now outmoded name for Tuberculosis. I found that Consumption (disease)) redirects to Tuberculosis. The article should explain what is this term means in modern terms. -- rogerd (talk) 14:14, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi. I'm not sure if it was Tuberculosis. Can anyone can verify it? -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:00, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
