Article Cleanup Co-Ordination Point[edit]

Cleanup Co-ordination
This article has recently been tagged as requiring cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.

The article may have been flagged as needing cleanup because it has been suggested that:

  • the article needs formatting, proofreading, or rephrasing in comprehensible English.
  • the article has multiple overlapping problems.
  • the article is very short and might need expanding, removal or merging with a broader article

For a full list of possible problems see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page.

Discussion[edit]

Restructure[edit]

I readded the "restructure" tag. Stevegallery's contributions to this article were good and useful, but overall the article needs reorganized, with a more logical arrangement into sections, and making sure the writing in that section actually belongs there. I can do this at some point, but right now I'm busy. If anybody else wants to do this, have at it. Peter G Werner 00:32, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy[edit]

This article dedicates a lot of space to the "Controversy" around the HUF shoes. The controversy was short-lived and ultimately hasn't impacted the artist's career. McGee made few statements about the shoes. Perhaps this section should be deleted or minimized in importance? Yellow Swans (talk) 07:50, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted paragraph[edit]

I reverted the following paragraph added by User:Luggagestore:

er - http://www.luggagestoregallery.org on a variety of public art projects, commissions and exhibitions. In 1991, he painted two roll down doors for the "luggage store's roll down door project" at 1007 and 1009 Market Street in San Francisco. That project was funded by one department of The City of San Francisco -- The SF Art Commission's Market Street Art in Transit Program and painted over without permission by another department of the City of San Francisco--Department of Public Works Anti Grafitti Program. The mural on the roll down door at 1009 Market Street exists. McGee was featured in a two person show, "Folklore" with Brett Cook/Dizney in 1994. In 1995/6, McGee collaborated with Phillip Ross, at the luggage store's annex space at 1000 Market Street, creating several mechanical pieces, including a policeman with rolling eyes installed on the outside of this historical flat iron building. McGee collaborated with the lsg on his first permissional public mural which was painted on metal panels and installed on Howard at 6th Street. The mural, over 25 ft. long, was stolen after one year and has not been recovered. McGee exhibited in several group shows at the gallery including "Off the Hook," curated by Thomas Campbell in 1998, Frenzy I in 1999, Outerspace Hillbilly in 2003 with Clare E. Rojas, leif Goldberg and Andrew Jeffrey Wright; No War (90 artists) in November 03 and Frenzy II in 2004.

I reverted it for the following reasons, 1) while the Luggage Store clearly played an important role in the career of Barry McGee, this section gives undue weight to his work with Luggage Store, 2) that and the prominent link to the Luggage Store website cross the line into self-promotion, and 3) the section clearly crosses the line into original research – the above paragraph is clearly based on a history of professional interaction with Barry McGee rather than facts derived from verifiable, published sources.

Early life in SF?[edit]

Does anybody know about McGee's youth in SF. For example, what high school did he attend?

Fair use rationale for Image:Mcgeegarage.jpg[edit]

Image:Mcgeegarage.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
