[edit] FYI

I found a whole section of collectors of Coffelt's work at NPR archives http://afonline.artistsspace.org/bio.php?aid=6273

There are many more listed there than here. OneMarkus (talk) 00:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC) see his work at Ten Cubed a virtual Gallery with Haydn Shaughnessy Gallery www.galleryica.com I was invited but could not attend last evening but I have read alot about it on google.

[edit] For your reading pleasure

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph Holmes is getting interesting. Take another look, and if (unlike me) you have any books about American color landscapes, you might take a look in them too.

I don't know about Holmes. He's not mentioned in the index of the Oxford Companion to the Photograph even though Oliver Wendell Holmes and Sherlock Holmes are. Still, I have a very strong gut feeling that there's more to J. Holmes than there is to D. Keith Furon. -- Hoary (talk) 00:54, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

And if you enjoy photography-unrelated AfDs, I have one for you. -- Hoary (talk) 08:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I would tend to disagree.

"as his site says, "Daniel Colegrove is a talented and versatile photographer," But his site isn't a significant source of info- its really a promo for his wedding photography."

True, this is his commercial site, however he is a well respected photojournalist and the information he provides in brief is unique and pertinent for a myriad of reasons.

One little known fact about Mr. Colegrove is that he made his living from 1980 until about 1995 by covering conflicts all over the globe including The Falklands, Lebanon, Panama, Afghanistan, Rwanda, Uganda and Croatia by (now get this) selling images to other photojournalists and news outlets.

I would encourage you to write his bio here, it would be quite a coup considering that he really has been a maverick in the field of photography in general yet so little known in his own country of origin.

Cordially, Moe Richart

I do think that Mr. Colegrove is notable and should have a Wiki article. My point on the photojournalism page is that it didn't seem appropriate to link to his page from the article. TheMindsEye (talk) 04:20, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Not to start an argument with you here, however did you read the article? Shooting Under Pressure —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moyopic (talk • contribs) 18:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes I've read Mr. Colegrove's post, and I've edited the Photojournalism article many times. Here's the deal: we can't link to every photojournalist's site - see WP:EL for the policies and reasonings behind that point. We can't even link to every PJ who has a blog. We can link to a very few sites that have a great deal of information that would be broadly applicable to readers of a specific article. IMHO, Mr. Colegrove's site fails that test. If you disagree, you are welcome to discuss the question on the article's talk page to see if you can gain a consensus from other editors of that article. TheMindsEye (talk) 19:16, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I do see your point. I am new to this and knowing a little bit about his background and seeing he had published on this subject brought about my haste. Thank you, Moe Richart Moyopic (talk) 22:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Middle name of Carrie Rodriguez

Hi. You reverted my edit of Carrie Rodriguez based on WP:BLP. I understand omitting her birth date for privacy reasons, as it is not generally given in her bios or media coverage. However, Carrie's middle name, Luz, appears widely on the web in biographies, news stories, reviews, etc. Examples include the following links (all of them distinct): [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. (If you google her full name, you'll find numerous others.) As a matter of fact, I just ran across this link, where her birthday is shown in what appears to be a celebratory and totally innocuous fashion. OK—I'll leave the birthday off, but with Rodriguez's middle name featured widely and prominently in her PR, I see no logical reason to conceal that. Emoll (talk) 21:32, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks. I went ahead and put her birth year back in (without the date), which is specifically condoned under BLP. Emoll (talk) 22:41, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • "Condoned" was a bad choice of words! Permitted, I should have said. Emoll (talk) 22:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Noah Kalina

An editor has nominated Noah Kalina, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Noah Kalina and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stewart Shining

You made some copyedits at Stewart Shining that I have partially reverted as ungrammatical. Let me know if you have a problem with the current page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 04:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Austinites

Hi - the reason the redlink was present was that an IP address entered Jason Fowler rap artist - he'd deleted the content of the existing Jason Fowler page, which referred to a footballer. I removed the bluelink as obviously it made no sense in the Austinites page. Minkythecat (talk) 22:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] HSPVA names

They need to be sourced. Each one needs to have a Wikipedia:Reliable source stating that the person went to HSPVA. According to Wikipedia:BLP we should remove unsourced information about living people.

If you find reliable sources stating that they went to HSPVA you can add them back. :) WhisperToMe (talk) 15:50, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, the source needs to say that the person attended that school. The reason why I didn't remove the people on the HISD list was because that is a reliable source that I had on hand. I could go back and look for sources for people who I had earlier removed. They can come back IF they have reliable sources. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AlfredYaghobzadeh.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AlfredYaghobzadeh.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 22:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New stuff

Uh, hello?

Incidentally, I recently looked in here and was appalled and depressed. The very, very short list includes one person whose photography is (adequately) discussed in a single paragraph and two articles that I find myself gagging on (as well as one mostly written by me that's about about to be revamped). D'you have anything bubbling away that might be nudged into becoming a "GA"? -- Hoary (talk) 15:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
