Other places tied to Joyce Carol Oates in the record
In each of these, a source puts Joyce Carol Oates and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Joyce Carol Oates was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.
1956year
Williamsville South High Schoolmentioned“Oates later transferred to several bigger, suburban schools and graduated from Williamsville South High School in 1956, where she worked for her high school newspaper.”source: Wikipedia: Joyce Carol Oates
2007year
New Yorkmentioned“In The New York Review of Books in 2007, Michael Dirda suggested that disparaging criticism of Oates "derives from reviewer's angst: How does one judge a new book by Oates when one is not familiar with most of the backlist?”source: Wikipedia: Joyce Carol Oates
2014year
Princetonmentioned“Oates retired from teaching at Princeton in 2014 and was honored at a retirement party in November of that year.”source: Wikipedia: Joyce Carol Oates
Two people documented in the same place in the same year is a correlation, not a meeting.
Quo Fuit will never say they met without a source that says so.
How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.
