Reference advice[edit]

NYT obit is listed twice, once as a citation fm nytimes.com and again (in See also) as reproduced at Cleve Gray website. Should we dispense with one? Which one?

I think it's ok as is. I see the Times obit in External links (and it should stay there) and as a reference, although if that reference is unnecessary or can be replaced with a different reference source then it can go from there. Modernist (talk) 00:32, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Anders.Warga, Modernist, I've removed the obit link to his website per WP:LINKVIO – we've no reason to believe that that content is hosted there with the permission of the New York Times. More worrying is that much of the content of the article seems to be (at best) close paraphrasing of that source. If the source says "... had his first solo exhibition at the Jacques Seligmann Gallery in New York in 1947" then our article just cannot read "... had his first solo exhibition at the Jacques Seligmann Gallery in New York in 1947". Text that is identical or near-identical to the source needs to be removed, and may then be replaced with new material written in the editor's own words.
