Talk:Marie Weaver

Cleanup

The article now tells us:

'''Marie Weaver''' is an American artist who specializes in ceramic arts, printmaking, and graphic design. Weaver holds a B. A. from [[University of Vermont]] and a Masters in Fine Art from [[Syracuse University]]. Weaver lives and works in Gwynedd, Pennsylvania. Her career began as an apprentice to [[Vermont]] [[printmaker]] [[Sabra Field]]. *<nowiki> ‘'upSouth'’ a multi-venue exhibition partially funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Alabama State Council on the Arts, was shown at Space One Eleven, [[Birmingham Civil Rights Institute]], the [[University of Alabama at Birmingham]] Visual Arts Gallery, Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and [[Agnes (gallery)]].<ref>[http://www.spaceoneeleven.org/press_releases.html Press release]</ref> It showed the work of artists [[Emma Amos]] and [[Willie Cole]] and writer [[bell hooks]], as well as Ann Benton, Priscilla Hancock Cooper, Karen Graffeo, [[Lee Isaacs]], Mary Ann Sampson, J. M. Walker and Marie Weaver.<ref>Weaver lists this in her [http://main.uab.edu/show.asp?durki=11809 résumé].</ref>.

and so on and so on. Some problems in that:

• The article starts by seeming to imply that Weaver is dead. We infer from the end of the same paragraph that she's still alive.
• This is the 21st century and not the 18th, and English rather than German, so "painting", etc., don't need initial capitalization.
• A printmaker can be renowned but hardly "renown". If Field is renowned, it's a little odd that she lacks a WP article.
• It's odd to say that a person "does" fine art. Verb aside, what's the art? (Painting? Sculpting? Something else?)
• I seem to have read about "UPsouth" in a number of WP articles. This almost looks like a kind of internal link farm: If every artist who contributed to it gets a mention of it, and if this in turn has a list of contributors, then they're all linked more numerously. Suggestion: if "UPsouth" was all that notable, make an article about it and just link to that.
• Weaver's own résumé isn't an independent source. If this exhibition was notable, surely it's written up in some more convincing way.

And that's just the start of the article. -- Hoary 03:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I’ll work on it.

The last of these does not appeal to be a book at all. Is it a book? No, the exhibition was an experiment to have wider participation by using the internet as the exhibition site.

Are the others books? If they are, let's have them in a standard format. I’ve edited those; please look at it and critique.

Precisely how does Weaver's works appear in each of these books? How is the appearance related to this article? (An article does not benefit from indiscriminate listing of mere mentions in or very minor contributions to books.) -- Hoary 02:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC) For most graphic designers and artists, a monograph is available to very few. More typically, one submits images to a publication to hopefully be juried into a book of exemplary examples related to the title of the book.

April 2010 -- Edits, sourcing and notability

I question edits made by at least two editors -- User:OneMarkus and User:Artintegrated -- to this and other articles about artists and organizations of questionable notability. As edits I have made related to WP:BLP, WP:RS, WP:N and other Wikipedia policy and guidelines have been reverted, I have started discussions here and on other related talk pages to discuss the future edits and existence of these articles.
