Nobel laureate
editHello all
I have added a section on White's life and career from the Nobel Prize in 1973. Marr and White himself said the Nobel Prize was a turning point in his career so it is logical to make this period a separate section. I have replaced unsourced and poorly sourced content with reliably sourced content. I have replaced some tangential content about other people with more detail on White's life and work during the period.

Return to Australia
editHello all
I have changed the heading to Return to Australia as White always said his return was a turning point in his life. I have expanded the content. I have replaced unsourced and pooly sourced content with reliably sourced content. I have replaced some tangential content about other people with more detail on White's life and work during the period.

Europe, America and war
editHello all
I have changed the heading from "Travelling the World" to Europe, America and war". The previous heading sounded like White was on a long holiday rather than working and fighting Nazis. I have expanded the content. I have replaced unsourced and pooly sourced content with reliably sourced content. I have corrected some errors of fact and replaced some tangential content.

Childhood and adolescence
editHello all
I have replaced some poorly sourced and tangential information with more reliably sourced detail about White's troubled relationship with his mother and about his early unpublished novels. I have consistently used short footnote citations.

Meade?
edit'White, in contrast, disliked Meade's approach to Voss but was enthusiastic about the production of Signal Driver.' Who is Meade? Is it Richard Meale that is meant? 2401:D006:A202:7E00:AC5C:AF68:608D:865B (talk) 00:41, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out. Typo corrected. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 01:02, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
