[edit] Corrections

Tylercos stated that "almost no early paintings by Thomas Hill exist today." This is not correct, and I can site many examples of his early works. I deleted this assertion from the article, but I'm more than willing to discuss on this Talk page. Further, Hill was not considered a member of the Hudson River School, and I reworked that sentence and cleaned up that stuff about his association with Champney. JJ 13:45, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sullivan Goss Link

IMO, this external link should be eliminated. Links to commercial art galleries do not enhance articles on various artists. Thomas Hill paintings are available from many galleries, and this one should get no special wiki-treatment. Links to sites that sell are not appropriate. I welcome any comments before I delete this link. JJ 13:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I looked for several links for this article. This one is a great one because it lists many of the medals/awards this painter won. While it is slightly commercial, it does add to this article and I intend to cite it for a medal section I will create within the next week. Many of the other galleries on this artist have similar links to buy a copy of a sketch or painting. I was going to include a similar gallery but declined to do so because this one was the best I saw. It confirmed another medal I saw in another source. Many of the other articles/sources do not have a full listing as this link. Ronbo76 18:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
