[edit]

I just worked on Neil Selkirk (a British-born American photographer) whose links were broken and the entry was scant. I want to make sure the entry meets Wikipedia criteria, and, if so, to remove the flags. Artandimage (talk) 22:17, 26 February 2015 (UTC)Artandimage[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kathy Ruttenberg, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Avenue. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Valdir Cruz, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Paraná (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Diane Arbus

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your contributions to the Diane Arbus article. However I stripped back some of what you added to the lead section. The lead section should be a succinct summary of what is described in the rest of the article, in 4 paragraphs. Keeping it short helps readers with not enough time for the whole article to digest it. With your additions about various group exhibitions it had grown too bloated. -Lopifalko (talk) 17:29, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much Lopifalko! I appreciate your expert guidance. I am now working on verifying all the book publication information and the exhibition information. I added some technical details to the Photographic Career section to mention what cameras she was using at various stages. I am also double-checking all the sources for accessibility and accuracy throughout.

Artandimage (talk) 19:43, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. As you know, you removed the following, which I reverted: "A 2005 article called the estate's allowing the British press to reproduce only fifteen photographs an attempt to "control criticism and debate.""[1] and "Brian Sewell dismissed Arbus's work in 2005 as unremarkable and as having gained prominence partly because of her suicide, but as "worth a second glance.""[1] Yet your edit summary only mentioned removing the source: "Removed references that could not be verified due to permanent dead link". Can you explain why you are removing this sourced content please? -Lopifalko (talk) 19:34, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  1. ^ a b "Diane Arbus's Carnival of Cruelty".[permanent dead link] Evening Standard (London), October 14, 2005. Retrieved February 14, 2010.
Hi. I removed those two because the link is dead and I cannot find any way to verify what it says. So sorry if that's not right. What is the protocol? Artandimage (talk) 19:59, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Lopifalko. I researched Wikipedia rules and now understand that dead links are permitted. I will use the way back machine to try to find the article, retain the content, and remove the dead links. Thank you. Artandimage (talk) 23:11, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I expect "bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes" means Internet Archive has already been tried. I looked and the source does not support the former quote but does support the latter quote. Haven't access to it right now... -Lopifalko (talk) 00:03, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I am impressed you could find the source. I am trying to do so as well in order not to paraphrase in favor of direct quotes. Thank you for your careful work. 24.168.61.153 (talk) 02:05, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I am concerned about the racist undertones in this article ("Why are we, the public, made the victims of an insidious political correctitude of sorts that compels us to hold the photographer in the same protected high regard as, say, women sculptors, black painters and Pakistani watercolourists") and the author's inaccurate handle on the facts. Diane Arbus said, "I hated painting and I quit right after high school"[1] so to say that she had a "false start as a conventional painter" is a wild mischaracterization. He also suggests that because she "falls into three subcategories - she was Jewish, subject to depression and, best of all, a suicide" her work has been noticed. He inaccurately starts her fame after her death, implying that her suicide caused a public to notice her ("Arbus slashed her wrists in July 1971. Within a year her work was selected to represent America in the Venice Biennale, the Museum of Modern Art in New York mounted an encyclopaedic retrospective exhibition, and the first monograph was published. She was thus immediately recognised not only as an artist, but as one of America's most important artists in any medium") when in fact she had already been widely published in magazines and had been one of three photographers included in MoMA's 1967 New Documents exhibition, along with Garry Winogrand and Lee Friedlander. It was this exhibition that propelled Diane Arbus into the spotlight. My question to you is, given this author's clear bias and looseness with the facts, is it appropriate to quote this amateur critic? Wouldn't it be more enlightening to quote more astute detractor? 24.168.61.153 (talk) 13:47, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This post is from Artandimage. Forgot to sign in! Sorry! Artandimage (talk) 13:50, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The WP article on Sewell quotes the description of him as "Britain's most famous and controversial art critic" from the Evening Standard, so he is not an "amateur critic". But I agree with your wider point (thank you for making the case) and agree that we should find a "more astute detractor". Let's remove that latter quote then. However I hope the article can retain the former quote, "control criticism and debate", because I have read this before (I will find sources)—for example see this brief mention of it: "the famously controlling Arbus estate who, as Schultz put it recently, "seem to have this idea, which I disagree with, that any attempt to interpret the art diminishes the art."" -Lopifalko (talk) 20:30, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Great and I am in complete agreement. I kept the first quote in any case and just added a note about common practices re: photos for media use in the U.S. to provide context. I will remove Sewell in that location and use the link you suggest there instead. I will also remove his other comment in Critical Reception and replace with direct quote from Susan Sontag, a respected critic and well-known detractor. I would appreciate your review when I finish by end of day tomorrow. Kind thanks.Artandimage (talk) 21:06, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon

Hello Artandimage. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Artandimage. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Artandimage|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. SmartSE (talk) 16:13, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Smartse. I have no financial stake in the article and I am not a paid advocate. I'm very eager to help create a neutral, factual article and welcome your input as to any mistakes or misjudgments in tone or content that are causing concern.
