Use of source [ref name=Guardian][edit]

The second and third sentences of the lead quote the second and third sentences of the obituary by Julia Eccleshare (ref name=Guardian). The source is cited at that point but the material is neither paraphrased nor marked as quotation. I haven't looked further.

The caption of the photograph that heads the obituary is "Patricia Wrightson was accused of exploitation." That pertains to her use of Aboriginal legends: ... "As fashions changed, she later received criticism for doing so." That deserves some coverage here --and also in our book article The Nargun and the Stars, of course.

I have attempted to paraphrase second and third sentences, and have created a new section 'Controversy' to begin to cover the charge of exploitation.Spinifex&Sand (talk) 01:36, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
