Miquel Bauçà

  • ... that though a renowned writer, Miquel Bauçà was so reclusive that his death was not discovered until the year after it occurred?
    • ALT0a: ... that though a renowned writer, Miquel Bauçà was so reclusive his death was not discovered until the year after it occurred, fourteen years ago today? Source: "La defunció va tenir lloc un dia indeterminat de finals del 2004 al seu pis de l’Eixample de Barcelona, on vivia, atrapat per les seves manies i consagrat a l’escriptura, en una solitud eremítica i misantròpica. Els Mossos van trobar el cos mort el 3 de gener del 2005" (English: "The death took place on an undetermined day in the end of 2004 in his flat in the Eixample of Barcelona, where he lived, trapped by his hobbies and devoted to writing, in a hermitic and misanthropic solitude. The Mossos found the body dead on January 3, 2005") [1]
    • ALT1:... that when Mallorcan poet Miquel Bauçà began writing, using the Catalan language was seen as a political statement against the Franco regime? Source: "A la Mallorca de finals dels anys 50, sotmesa a la bota franquista, el fet que un jove poeta escrivís els seus primers versos en català per força havia d’anar acompanyat d’una presa de consciència cultural i nacional." (English: "In Mallorca in the late 1950's, subjected to Franco's boot, the fact that a young poet wrote his first verses in Catalan had to be accompanied by a cultural and national awareness.") [2]

  • Hi, looks like you have an anniversary coming up on January 3. You could make it very hooky with the phrase "fourteen years ago today". Let me know and I'll review it. Yoninah ( talk) 23:19, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Ah, nice catch - added. Kingsif ( talk) 23:36, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Well, that wording isn't so hooky. Maybe we should go back to ALT0 and just post it on January 3.
  • Here is a full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written. But you only have one real source; the other is a short post. Surely if he was so notable, there would be more written about him? Can you add cites from any of the biographies listed under External links? Image in article is fair use. QPQ done. Yoninah ( talk) 23:46, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Thanks for staggering it; there is more written about him, I could probably expand it more. Will add more refs. Kingsif ( talk) 23:51, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
Added a few refs - Merry Christmas. Kingsif ( talk) 00:23, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Thanks. As sources are foreign-language, unable to check for close paraphrasing. Foreign-language hook ref AGF and cited inline. ALT0 good to go for January 3. Yoninah ( talk) 00:40, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
