Really sad to hear about Paul's death. Wiki's "virtual reality" suddenly gets very real and personal. Just gone, like a button being switched-off. Farewell, -14:50, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just noticed this. Yes, quite a shock. It was a pleasure working with you, Paul. You will be missed. So much for the idea that Wikipedia is not "real life". --Alan W (talk)06:04, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just seen this. Terribly sad news. One of the best editors there was, fearless, patient, honest and with a vast range and depth of knowledge. RIP. --Folantin (talk)21:02, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also just seen. What a shock. RIP and condolences to his family. Who will now man the battlements of Shakespeare authorship articles?Johnbod (talk)00:34, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oh no! I only just discovered this, as I noticed his signature on the talk page for Orpheus and wondered why I hadn't come across his comments lately, worrying that he had quit Wikipedia. My sympathies to all those who were personally close to him. As a beacon and consistent, reliable source of sanity and competence when POV warriors turn up, he will be sorely missed; to me, his sig was atrademark, and always reassuring. --Florian Blaschke (talk)18:51, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've just heard this sad news. We got up each other's noses a little about the true identity of William Shakespeare, but that's all part of the rough and tumble of intellectual discourse. It was never personal from either of us. Vale, Paul. --23:40, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is unfortunately posthumously conferred. Paul's contribution in bringing theWilliam Shakespeare (estimated annual readership: 4,550,000) toFeatured Article status was indispensable, and therefore I think it due, in order to express our deep appreciation for his seminal input in what has become a widely read article of the highest quality, that we register here his earned right to theMillion Award, as a token of the influence his labour in the wiki fields will exercise on a global readership.Nishidani (talk)20:52, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Paul Barlow on Google Scholar
I thought this might be useful for those interested in thePre-Raphaelites, a topic about which Paul Barlow wrote a lot & for which he was often cited. I believe that he also wrote of other artists who were contemporaries of that school as well.
