Peer review Museum de Oude Wolden

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Editør (talk • contribs) 12:19, 25 August 2013‎ (UTC)

I assume that this has been done, because the article has made Good Article status. Is that right, Editør?--CaroleHenson (talk) 06:10, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, the article was reviewed and has reached good article status since. Additional comments can of course be posted on Talk:Museum de Oude Wolden. – Editør (talk) 07:54, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Endless House

Dear visual arts experts: This architectural design seems to be notable, since it has attracted a lot of written comment, but the page needs some attention from someone who knows more about this subject than I do. I have chopped out a lot of opinion, but since most of it is incomprehensible to me, I may have made things worse. Any help would be appreciated.—Anne Delong (talk) 20:18, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Anne Delong, I agree, it would be nice to find someone who works on architectural articles to review the article. I made some edits and tagged some places where the sources need to be improved (blog, primary source, tertiary source situations). I have added comments on the AfC page.--CaroleHenson (talk) 06:02, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, CaroleHenson. By editing it you have delayed its deletion for six months. Perhaps someone who knows architectural sources will take an interest in it during that time.—Anne Delong (talk) 11:09, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Sounds good, Anne Delong--CaroleHenson (talk) 01:06, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Ilgvars Zalans and Ilgvars Zalāns

Dear visual art experts: Here is an old AfC submission about an artist, but the content is mainly sourced to YouTube videos and press releases. There's a small stub in mainspace which is mainly an update, and has one source. If this is a notable artist, I will content-merge these two pages, but I don't want to do this if the result is going to be deleted. References seem to be in Latvian. Any opinions?—Anne Delong (talk) 14:05, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Anne Delong, I am sorry I didn't see this earlier. It looks like the AfC article was deleted, but you're right about there being an issue with youtube and press releases as sources. In March, someone came along and expanded the article based upon what I'm guessing are Latvian sources. If you have other information, though, and can expand the article further, that would be great!--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:12, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

CaroleHenson, I took a look at the deleted draft, and it seems that the editor who created it is the same person who expanded the mainspace article. This is the best result, because now the draft is not needed and attribution of the content is straightforward. Unfortunately, I don't have more information. Thanks for calling my attention to this.—Anne Delong (talk) 11:00, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Cool!--CaroleHenson (talk) 01:07, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Illustration House

Hi, I wouldn't normally use a gallery as a source, but Illustration House (see About) was founded by Walt Reed. I checked the Reliable sources noticeboard and didn't see anything one way or another - and it seemed better to ask the question here where folks would be more knowledgeable about good sources for visual art articles.

Could this be used as a source for a biography for Pruett Carter? Or, disallowed because it's a gallery or other reason? --CaroleHenson (talk) 19:40, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

• User:CaroleHenson, I don't see a real problem using that as a source. Yes, it's a commercial gallery and auctioneer, but Walt Reed was also the foremost scholar on the subject of American Illustration. Disclosure: he was once a family friend. JNW (talk) 03:37, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Wonderful, thanks, JNW - and an interesting connection!--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:02, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Clea Badaro

Hello, visual arts experts. Here's a draft article about an Egyptian artist. Is this a notable artist? In spite of having a number of references, the article seems to just say that she grew up, created some art, met a novelist who based a character in one of his books on her, and that her sister mounted two exhibitions after her death. —Anne Delong (talk) 16:54, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

It seems enough for notability to me, but better references are needed. Johnbod (talk) 17:05, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Archives of Khazad-Dum

Here is the link to this blog: http://archivesofkhazad-dum.blogspot.com.es/2011/06/about-archives-of-khazad-dum.html#links I don't know if this fits here. I thought that as this was well-intentioned and self-demonstrated it could be used as a reliable source for Trivia (?) information of some photos and paintings used in album covers. I just want to know if this could be accepted.--Hienafant (talk) 14:24, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

No, I think not. See WP:RS for more detail. Johnbod (talk) 16:10, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
