Primary sources

[edit]

Note the tag was requesting "references that appear in reliable third-party publications". The majority of the sources cited are primary sources which are usually insufficient for a BLP. The only ones that would be considered reliable third-party sources are the NY Times and Smithsonian ones. -- Ϫ 07:44, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article also cites: Amazon.com, the Delaware Art Museum and the Atlantic Center for the Arts, each of which are reliable, and notable, third-party sources. X4n6 (talk) 23:23, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Amazon and IMDB are not RSs. This article does still rely on too many affiliated sources. Even one of the NY Times articles was an op-ed he wrote. I'm going to add back the tag. Novaseminary (talk) 03:41, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Instead of tagging the entire BLP, you need to tag the sections you claim are poorly sourced. The BLP is about a celebrity photographer and contains several examples of his work that have already been verified by OTRS. So I have no idea what you could possibly think needs more sourcing. So either you can remove the tag and tag sections, or I will remove it myself. Or I could simply give you a 3RR for restoring it after I already removed it. But I'll let you play the games. For now.

The overwhelming majority of the references in this article are the photographers own website or writings. That can lead to POV problems, etc. All the tag means is that the article could use more independent sources. It is not a personal attack on the photographers character or worth as a human being (or even WP notbaility). It has nothing to do with the photographs or OTRS. It is not really a section-by-section type of tag (like unsourced tags). And I am pretty sure the sources are out there. Rather than arguing over the tag, why not just go add some good third-party secondary sources? Novaseminary (talk) 05:47, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The reliable sources in this BLP include the New York Times, the Smithsonian Institution, People Magazine, the Atlantic Center for the Arts and Highberger Media, do they not? Which of them do you claim is not "independent?" Which are not "good third-party secondary sources"? Tell you what: you're absolutely right! With a BLP of this calibre, I'm sure there are an avalanche of additional sources we could pull. But you haven't established why or where they're necessary. So why don't you go first? Remove the tag and add a source or two yourself. Just as good faith. Then I'll do the same. Frankly, it would be good to see you actually add edits for a change. We could actually... (gasp!) collaborate. But until then, I'm just not inclined to chase any more balls for you. Sure you understand. X4n6 (talk) 06:14, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as noted, there are some independent sources. That is great. But the overwhelming majority of the facts in the article are referenced to materials the subject has written or controls. And citing some to his own website is fine. But the proportions should probably be about switched. See numnber 5 WP:ABOUTSELF. It isn't that big of a deal, but as usual, feel free to have teh last word. Just leave the tag until at least some other eds agree with you (or you or I fix it!). Novaseminary (talk) 06:26, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So once again, no good faith self-removal of the tag? No willingness to collaborate with another editor - to add edits that would resolve the very concerns you raised? No willingness to fix the problem? Duly noted. There's nothing more I need to say here either. X4n6 (talk) 06:49, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fancy meeting you here, Novaseminary. You were just ani'd for disruptive editing like this in December. Do not stalk me or my edits again or we will go down that road again with a likely very different result. X4n6 (talk) 04:33, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
