Photo

The caption of the photo says he is at “the Ars Electronica”; the Ars Electronica what? Is he at the Ars Electronica Center, or perhaps at the Prix Ars Electronica award ceremony, or maybe the festival? The photo’s own page doesn’t mention anything. --Rob Kennedy 04:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph of Rheingold's shoes

Besides the fact they are not mentioned in the entire article, what is the encyclopedic benefit of a photograph showing Rheingold's shoes? dagonet (talk) 11:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They are closely associated with him. google:Rheingold's shoes. Online since at least 1995. He has written about it: How To Paint Your Shoes. There's even an interview movie. (That's just from a glance at the top google-results.)

They should be mentioned in the article text, before the image is replaced. I don't have time to write anything currently, maybe someone else will :) -- Quiddity (talk) 17:41, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to drop the Unsourced tag

I propose the "unsourced" tag be removed. From October 2007 through now, August 2009, this article has been tagged as "unsourced." Before my arrival, a partial bibliography was here. I added some refs and put in the references block. At this point the article seems sufficiently sourced, and I'd like to remove the indicator to the contrary. Care to explain why another course of action should be taken? WikiDropper (talk) 05:08, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed and done. (For future reference, you can be bold and do just that, once you've added refs to an article; or, if you're unsure, or think an article still needs more sources, you can replace the {{Unsourced}} tag with a {{Refimprove}} tag. :) -- Quiddity (talk) 17:51, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
