- Aw shucks. Well, its been interesting exercise trying to wikipedia-fy a current event. Hope more info comes out post-court case. Though Greenhalgh's already off the radar of course, I'm still curious, esp about the forgeries. Like what people will do with them. Aukker (talk) 05:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Possibly he'lll be in a genre of his own like other forgers whose forgeries becomes collectable in their own right. Funny old system, aint't it – keeps on commodifying itself n providing more work for you, lol. Julia Rossi (talk) 05:12, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Sweet! -yeahbutnobut.. the prompt for the DYK was changed. So this bit: "displayed for a decade by the Art Institute of Chicago and toured to the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam" became..
...that The Faun, a rare sculpture by Paul Gauguin, displayed for a decade by the Art Institute of Chicago and the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam was actually a fake by British forger Shaun Greenhalgh?
which is unfortunate, because it wasn't actually on display in Amsterdam for that long, just for a few months during the exhibition. I understand why this was changed: "toured to" is rather clumsy; perhaps it should've been "exhibited at." No big deal, but I thought I'd let you know.
