Talk:Thomas Athol Joyce

DYK

The DYK headline for this entry has WP:WEASEL issues and should be reworded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.175.116.20 (talk) 03:07, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Although the DYK has now moved off the front page, I'd be interested (as the DYK reviewer) to know what the Weasel issue was with this hook. The only thing I can think it might be was the statement about the entry he wrote being "ridiculous" which is referenced in the article to a quote from the ODNB - as far as I could see this was ok for the DYK hook. --Bcp67 (talk) 09:25, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Who changed her interests?

The article says he was divorced in 1925, and there is no evidence that his subsequent companion (Lilian Elwyn Elliott) either divorced her husband or married Joyce. Then we read “His wife came with him in 1929 and she changed her interests, spending the next ten years in complementary studies and writing. Elliott, Joyce's partner still took a great interest in anthropology even after Joyce died.”

Are we to understand that his (ex-)wife traveled with the pair after her divorce and remarriage? If so, it should be worded much more strongly to emphasize that the implausible is actually the case. More likely is that Elliot picked up his interests, so the text should read something like “Elliot came with him....” and “She still took a great interest....”

Can anyone who actually knows about him clarify this?
