AfC notification: Draft:Raymond A. Whyte has a new comment[edit]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Raymond A. Whyte. Thanks! Hoary (talk) 04:40, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I added a couple of other newspaper articles that are NOT just the auction website, or at least tried to back up the claims of the auction website. I also deleted the list of people who have him in their collections for now, just for safety and integrity. I can always add it later, Correct?

Also, I found a screen shot of his entry in "Who's Who in American Art" but I don't remember how I got it. Is it allowed to refer to something like that, and how would you input it? (Or do I need to track down a link? there must be one as I screenshot it.

THANK YOU! BillE.Vader1963 (talk) 06:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I am ready to submit for review, but had one more question - is it better for the article to have photos at this stage, or is that something that can just come later. I wanted either a picture of the subject or his artwork, but am having trouble tracking them down on the database of images. Thanks for any help!

Excellent. Thanks so much - Im very excited....one question - when I put in his name in the search engine it was "Once popular surrealist painter who is now largely forgotten" underneath in the sort of faded lettering. I don't remember writing that part and is that totally accurate? Maybe it is from my notes and now my research, but it may be more opinion. Do you have thoughts? Thanks again!
