Vincent van Gogh PR

You were part of the group of editors who contributed over 500 edits to the WP:GAR of Vincent van Gogh. There was talk page discussion of nominating his article for WP:FAC, but I think WP:PR is a better next step. Please watch and assist at Wikipedia:Peer review/Vincent van Gogh/archive2. Hopefully, then we can pursue a WP:FA.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 23:16, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Question regarding Notes and References for notability

Greetings Ty, new guy here. I have a two part question: I have been slowing reading up on Wiki rules regarding notability. Whereas links to third party websites are valid to use as evidence of notability, what happens when the links become dead e.g. an article from a respectable website gets pulled and the story does not get archived elsewhere, or perhaps any kind of third party archive gets removed, do future wikipedian editors then question the notability of an article? And does the fact that an article that was previously proposed for deletion then had been rewritten and kept give more credibility to the article for future editors? --SaturdayNightSpecial (talk) 19:21, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I just received your message, and thank you for your information.--SaturdayNightSpecial (talk) 19:46, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Joanne Gair

Suddenly all of my Joanne Gair articles are being scrutinized. The image for Disappearing Model and two other images in her article are at WP:TFD. Demi's Birthday Suit was severely edited over the weekend.

Help, if possible, with citations and stubs

Hi Ty, I'm contactin you becase you were helpful in the deletion discussion on VIsual Arts, pointing me to WP:REFB. I've having trouble getting help in general, and hoping that you'd be kind enough. I'm relatively new and still wading in.

I've been systematically going through a few lists of articles, to tag them for what needs to be done, and then my eventual plan is to fix articles that can be salvaged with sources, write new articles, and if necessary, push others to deletion if there is no material available.

I've run into another editor who has told me the following: Regarding Cathy_Bursey-Sabourin -- I added tags for sources. He rolled those back, saying "stubs don't need tags for improving refs; is generally notable as long-serving high-level official in gov't agency." I wasn't sure what the protocol was, but I'd never really undid anything before, and was pretty sure that everything needs a source, so I undid his edit, and said, "stubs don't need tags for improving refs; is generally notable as long-serving high-level official in gov't agency." He then directed me to a comment on my talk page where it ping-ponged like this"

I understand you're really new. I am not. So when I say that stubs don't need tags requesting citations, please do listen; stubs inherently require citations and no tag requesting it is necessary. In addition, please familiarise yourself with Ms Bursey-Sabourin's employer, which addresses your notability concerns. I'll be removing the tags again as they are unnecessary. → ROUX ₪ 03:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Roux,

Thanks for your help - however, will you also be adding those required citations? I have seen many stubs tagged by senior users, so I'm unsure what difference it makes. Your expertise is appreciated. Thanks Deadchildstar (talk) 03:27, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

In the fullness of time, yes, I shall be adding refs. I have other articles to work on beforehand. In the future, please keep your replies where the conversation started (as it notes here; I hate fragmented conversations. → ROUX ₪ 03:32, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I have two questions, then, Ty. 1) When is it OK to take an article that needs sources? And how or why is a Stub different? What should happen in the case of Roux, above - it seems he would rather I just leave him and his sourceless stub be. I don't know what I should do, other than that.

2) On a related note, I read an article here Help:Wikipedia:_The_Missing_Manual/Editing,_Creating,_and_Maintaining_Articles/Creating_a_New_Article#Reliable_Sources Creating a New Article which advises not to create new stubs at all. Another editor told me that' not true. What's your view on that? Deadchildstar (talk) 14:31, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks for your answer on my page, Ty, that's helpful - but I'm still confused given Roux's recent comment. I guess I'm not seasoned enough to know what to do with differing opinions between editors. If you have any advice, I'd appreciate it, thanks. Deadchildstar (talk) 04:17, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Infoboxes

Ty, I think I owe you an apology. I was flippant when discussing the infobox bg color revert with Outriggr, but honestly I wasn't getting at you, and my comments weren't mindful of you at all, though they could easily have been seen that way. I had a bad experience at infobox band about two years ago on exactly the same issue, and that was what I was getting at. I have the upmost respect for you as an editor, and would not like any hard feelings. Ceoil (talk) 14:32, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello Tyrenius, could you please help again and take a look at Christiaan Tonnis. I believe the article is in a good state now ... should it really be deleted or merged, as the tag says? Thank you so much in advance! I also wrote to Modernist, but he takes a Wikibreak.

Roy Lichtenstein

Hi Ty, I appreciate your comments at the lichtenstein talk page. The original image the guy placed there had the words Deconstructing Roy Lichtenstein superimposed on the painting which I told him would be deleted, additionally there is this website which is where I presume he took it from: [2]. Recently he uploaded the current version in which he got rid of the words. However as I said and as you mentioned as well the piggyback image is unacceptable. Separate images are fine, in context with the text.Thanks...Modernist (talk) 01:36, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

RE: Tags

Do you find the tags unjustified? Surely they are an aid to improving the articles that you have started? I have no problem with editing and tagging the same article - why would I; the entire process is an organic one is it not? Regarding Arthur Pan - you are absolutely correct and finding verifiable information is a problem. Why, I do not know. I have spoken with a number of people who knew him and they refuse to discuss him let alone point one in the direction of any source material other than that which is immediately available via typical search strategies. His notability is axiomatic given the popularity and iconic status attributed to the Winston Churchill portrait but I agree completely that there is a shortage of referential source material available. I could add that he was a secretive man with a propensity for avoiding the limelight but (even though apparently the case) I cannot substantiate the claim through any credible third party sources. Hopefully, in time, some more information will come to light. Feel free to tag the article though - my feelings will not get hurt. Sensitivity and encyclopedias do not make for objective articles, do they? Ernstblumberg (talk) 15:10, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the great work on Arthur Pan, it is really coming along nicely. Can you find anything on the portrait he did of Jacob Moritz Blumberg which went missing in the early 1970's? I've searched both German and British archives and still to no avail regarding the portrait. Ernstblumberg (talk) 23:34, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Will do; thanks again. Ernstblumberg (talk) 17:04, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nathalie Quagliotto + Robert Genn

Hey Ty. I've been in low gear lately, wikiwise, so I haven't been doing too much around here. I did see the discussion for this article, and although I agree with the closing admin. that this was probably no consensus, after having done a bit of research I'd say this should be deleted. How soon is it acceptable to relist an article for deletion after a close as no consensus? I don't want to appear to be gunning for this artist. I wasn't able to find anything in particular about this. I'll also I have a look at that Genn article while I'm at it. Thanks. freshacconci talktalk 11:45, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Michael Richards again

Hello Tyrenius, sorry to bother you again but folks are back to wanting to downplay the whole Michael Richards Laugh Factory incident. With an anon-IP user describing other editors as 'Anti-Richards people'. Being that you were centrally involved with this contentious article surrounding this incident, could you perhaps join the discussion about this latest push to remove from the lede mention of this incident? Frankly given that 10 of the 20 total references in the article refer to the Laugh Factory incident it seems illogical to be removing mention of it in the lede. Thank you, (→Netscott) 08:18, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

• • • • • Not strange at all "Modenist". I have spent timeless hours on the Albert Henry Krehbiel article and it provides a brief bit of information about this proven historically renowned American painter, muralist and art educator. If I were to condense the article any further, it would merely read "Albert Henry Krehbiel: American artist" with possibly one way-too-brief paragraph on his life and works.

All of the provided "References" (changed to "Notes" by some "Wikipedian") are well documented and supported by source at Libraries, Universities and artistic institutions throughout the country as well as world.

Some Wikipedian keeps removing my "way reduced quantity" of VERY PERTINENT AMD INFORMATIVE External links, of which I only see as supplementing (in a small and brief manner) any inquiring individual's knowledge and education on Albert Krehbiel.

Sincerely, I thank you very much for all of the attention, assistance, and consideration that you have given toward Albert Henry Krehbiel's article at the most respected Wikipedia.

Galatorn Edit

I didn't use this 'talk' feature yet, so I hope I'm putting this on the right page.

You just deleted the "Contemporary Use" of the Raft of the Medusa page and I was wondering why. It's relevant to the further use of the painting in nowadays popular culture. Music, Comics, Modern Art,... I put in a lot of links to establish a clear connection with documented information.

Could you please clearify this with me ? Thanks. G. Galatorn (talk) 11:59, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey Tyrenius,

Thanks a lot for your fast and very complete answer. I wasn't aware of the difference between 'stubs' and 'featured articles'.

I offer my appologies for my sometimes rude language in the article. The thing is that I am not an English native speaker, and I wrote the passage under some time-pressure. Hence the "a bunch of bikers in an orgy with some girls" ;-)

I didn't read the talk page about the article before editting, because I thought that the paragraph I added was relevant enough. On the talk page it concerns mainly the funny George Bush-parody on the theme. While my edit was about the use of the painting (and variations on it) in modern times. I see it is a thin line between the two, but I see the comic-versions and real painted 'rip-offs' as being a form of art, whereas the George Bush persiflage is only intended as a joke. But that is just my opinion of course. I don't wish to be so arrogant to push my opninion on the discussion. So you can leave the edit as it is. Too bad though because some of the artwork is really worth taking a look at.

Thanks again for the explanation on references and different articles. G.
