(1) Due to its complexity -- in relation to the myriad of errors displayed in the 2020s reports (both pro and con) on this man, his works, and his time at the Australian museum, etc. -- the item has required far more work (in relation to contemporary-, rather than modern-references) than I could ever have imagined; and, due to that fact I have, indeed, been laboriously involved in the yet-unfinished article since October last year ( [1], [2], [3], [4]); and, as a consequence I have restored the "Under Construction label".
(2) In relation to the Galleries. I recognize, understand, and agree with your comments; however, on the basis that many contain information other than simply a photograph of a VIP, I have as an interim measure, restored the Gallery (in order to allow for me to make whatever exclusions or inclusions seem necessary), and ask you to be patient and want to assure you that, provided you leave them alone for the moment, they will not be there in 10 days time.

Why didn't you post first? Referring to a discussion you hadn't even started yet in an edit summary just seemed like an attempt at deflection. And all I came here for was that broken file link anyway. - Sumanuil. (talk to me)05:49, 2 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
It is entirely inappropriate to let {{under construction}} sit for 8+ months, and I have removed it again. Lindsay658, I am sorry that you edit war regarding the galleries. Let me give you one example: John Colenso, you put him in a gallery. Yet he is not mentioned in the entire article. Would you please now cull the article? SamSailor23:12, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Sam . . . You seem to have totally mis-read the situation. (1) On the basis that I am about 10 days off completing the construction of the entire (currently interim) article — to which, by the way, I have made more than 1,000 incremental additions over the preceding eight months — I am restoring the "under construction" template specifically so that the current un-finished state of the article can not be misunderstood. (2) There is no "edit war" of any kind. The current, interim state of affairs if that I am slowly removing the "interim" galleries (the "under construction" clearly indicating that they are interim) and need to check, in each case the extent to which the contents, etc., have a need to be placed within the article. There are many other comments that I could make here in relation to the disturbing nature of your attacks upon my interim work. However, all that I politely ask is that you delay any further activities for 10 days, by which time I should have been able to add the still-missing material, and have removed all of the (fully-agreed upon by me as) inappropriate galleries. Also, once I have completed my final adjustments, I will contact you and let you know. Best, Lindsay658 (talk) 04:46, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
As at 11 July 2023, I have addressed the issue of the Galleries (retaining only one: that containing illustrations from his two important publications). The final completion of the missing text details will, perhaps, take another week. At which time the "Under Construction" template will be removed.Lindsay658 (talk) 18:44, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
