Who's Charles Robinson? And do we really know that he died more than 70 years ago. like all those illustrations on Commons have tags claiming?--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:48, 8 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Move to top level

[edit]

This work is a specific work in its own right, and should be at the top level of the main namespace, not subsidiary to the original work. I would suggest something like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (illus. Robinson). We can disambiguate well to point to both versions in the main namespace, and from author pages. — billinghurst sDrewth 16:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Agree, but what about by year. I keep avoiding doing this one, though it is one of the best editions, there will be a couple of issues with the illumination around some text :( Cygnis insignis (talk) 19:43, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
The point of difference is the illustrator, so I was following the design features proposed for translators. How about Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1907, illus. Robinson). Whichever naming we use should be robust enough for us to propose to the nascent naming protocol. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:43, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
@Billinghurst: This is an old discussion, but Lewis Carroll died in 1898, and IIRC British law was life+7 at the time, so Alice became PD-UK in 1906. Tenniel was still alive, so the illustrations did not join them at the time; thus a host of new British editions came out 1906-1907 with new illustrations. So we should move this away to one of billinghurst's suggestions.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:49, 12 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Prosfilaes: Looks like it was done in 2014 Prosody moved page Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/Illustrated by Robinson to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1907): separate edition, not part of parent pagebillinghurst sDrewth 22:00, 12 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
I missed some of the context, but I still think it should be named by illustrator, not year (or at least not just year), given that we know of several editions we might like to host that appeared that year.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:52, 12 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
