Bibliography edit
Is it usual to repeat the works in the Bibliography (list of works section) in the Notes/Footnotes section? This doesn't seem standard practice. Also, the tag at the top of the article implies we have to talk before we restructure the article a bit. Is this usual practice? If this is the case, I hope someone is watching this page so that we can structure it a bit. Sterry2607 13:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Date of death edit
User:JackofOz remarked that "none of the tributes state exactly when she died". User:ISoph then inserted an ABC News item which doesn't state the date either, nor does the online version of the obituary in The Australian. However, the print version has below the headline: "Faith Bandler, Activist. Born Tumbulgum, NSW, September 27, 1918. Died February 13, 2015, aged 96." I suggest to use that date in the article. We still ought to find out where she died. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 00:13, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- PS: That sub-headline is also currently shown on the Oz's website in the sidebar of the obit. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 00:15, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I came here to make the same point, but you beat me to it, Michael. The print version seems to be the only place a specific date is mentioned, that I've been able to track down. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 02:31, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
MBE 1976 edit
We say she was "appointed" an MBE in 1976 but declined to accept. Firstly, the source we give for this makes no mention of her declining it. Secondly, she could only have declined it when she was offered it; once she was formally appointed, however, it's more or less set in stone.
There is a record at Australian Honours for an MBE in 1976 to a "Mr ILF Bandler". Since Faith's name was Ida Lessing Faith (ILF) Bandler, I strongly suggest this referred to her, not to any fictitious "Mr" ILF Bandler. This proves my point above; if she had declined it when first offered it, it would never have been awarded and would not appear in the database.
It may be that she preferred not to use the MBE postnominal later. That would be her choice, but it doesn't alter the fact of her appointment to the Order. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 23:58, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
Communist Party edit
It appears she was a member of the CPA[1], but I do not know the dates. Jack Upland (talk) 02:54, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
