It's great to have more of Watson's photos available, but it's probably not ideal to include them all in this article. We generally discourage galleries (see WP:GALLERY for an explanation). We already have a link to her category on Wikicommons where users can find all of the media we have available. Pburka (talk) 23:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Lesbian / LGBT?

edit

This article is included in Lesbian and LGBT categories, but the prose does not mention either. Is there a reliable source which states her sexual orientation? ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:42, 24 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Her relationship with her partner, Queenie Hayward, is discussed in the "Photography career" section, and includes a citation. Amy E Hughes (talk) 11:41, 25 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Additional support for the claim can be found here. Pburka (talk) 13:29, 25 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

American or Canadian?

edit

According to the prose, she was born and died in the U.S. Was she American or Canadian? This should be noted and the categories may need to be amended accordingly. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:43, 24 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure her citizenship really matters. She was born in the United States, but most of her career was in Canada, photographing Canadian subjects. She was a Canadian photographer (i.e. a photographer of Canada who lived in Canada) whether or not she had a Canadian passport. Pburka (talk) 02:20, 25 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
