Cleanup

The article now tells us:

'''Marie Weaver''' is an American artist who specialized in Book arts, Printmaking, Painting and Graphic arts. Weaver holds a B. A. from [[University of Vermont]] and a Masters in Fine Art from [[Syracuse]]. Weaver lives and works in Atlanta Georgia. Her career began as an apprentice to renown [[Vermont]] [[printmaker]] [[Sabra Field]] and gradually moved more and more toward fine art which is what she currently does.

''UPsouth'' traveled to several venues across Birmingham, including Space One Eleven, [[Birmingham Civil Rights Institute]], the [[University of Alabama at Birmingham]], Visual Arts Gallery, and [[Agnes (gallery)]].<ref>[http://www.spaceoneeleven.org/press_releases.html Press release]</ref> It showed the work of artists [[Emma Amos]] and Willie Cole and writer [[bell hooks]], as well as Ann Benton, Priscilla Hancock Cooper, Karen Graffeo, [[Lee Isaacs]], Mary Ann Sampson, J. M. Walker and Marie Weaver.<ref>Weaver lists this in her [http://main.uab.edu/show.asp?durki=11809 résumé].</ref>.

and so on and so on. Some problems in that:

The article starts by seeming to imply that Weaver is dead. We infer from the end of the same paragraph that she's still alive.
This is the 21st century and not the 18th, and English rather than German, so "painting", etc., don't need initial capitalization.
A printmaker can be renowned but hardly "renown". If Field is renowned, it's a little odd that she lacks a WP article.
It's odd to say that a person "does" fine art. Verb aside, what's the art? (Painting? Sculpting? Something else?)
I seem to have read about "UPsouth" in a number of WP articles. This almost looks like a kind of internal link farm: If every artist who contributed to it gets a mention of it, and if this in turn has a list of contributors, then they're all linked more numerously. Suggestion: if "UPsouth" was all that notable, make an article about it and just link to that.
Weaver's own résumé isn't an independent source. If this exhibition was notable, surely it's written up in some more convincing way.

And that's just the start of the article. -- Hoary 03:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Books"

The article tells us:

==Books==

"Aging," by Marie Weaver, Number 1, Edition of 1, Center For Book Arts, Brian Hannon coordinator, 1995
"White Graphics: The Power of White in Graphic Design (Paperback)," by Gail Deiber Finke, work included by Marie Weaver
“Graphically Speaking Women,” Space One Eleven, Ruth Stevens Appelhof (Executive Director, Guild Hall of East Hampton, NY) 2001
"UpSouth" by bell hooks, Emma Amos and Antoinette Spanos Nordan, University Press, University of Alabama, Birmingham, 1999, pp 70-73
“The World’s Women On-Line! Women and Information Technology: An Electronic Art Networking Event” (In conjunction with the United Nations’ Fourth World Conference on Women: Action for Equality, Development, and Peace; Beijing, China, 30 August-15 September, 1995. Pilot Internet Event at Arizona State University’s Computing Commons Gallery, March; subsequent CD-ROM)

The last of these does not appeal to be a book at all. Is it a book?

Are the others books? If they are, let's have them in a standard format.

Precisely how does Weaver's works appear in each of these books? How is the appearance related to this article? (An article does not benefit from indiscriminate listing of mere mentions in or very minor contributions to books.) -- Hoary 02:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

April 2010 -- Edits, sourcing and notability

I question edits made by at least two editors -- User:OneMarkus and User:Artintegrated -- to this and other articles about artists and organizations of questionable notability. As edits I have made related to WP:BLP, WP:RS, WP:N and other Wikipedia policy and guidelines have been reverted, I have started discussions here and on other related talk pages to discuss the future edits and existence of these articles.
