Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Tyler Shields edits

The content you have added to this WP:BLP is unsourced, the "references" you have added do not backup the information as cited. You have also blanked sourced content twice within 24 hours. Please discuss any future changes you wish to make to the article and your present edits on its talk page as I asked you to do (in the Talkback above).

Hello again. I just wanted to pass on the links to you as you know how to navigate your way around wikipedia so maybe you can include these and see that they are very valid and should be included on the page.

Sotheby's : http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2016/photographs-l16780/lot.19.html Phillips; http://www.phillips.com/detail/TYLER-SHIELDS/UK040215/22

Decadence 2016 Imitate Modern, latest work; http://imitatemodern.com/exhibitions/decadence-by-tyler-shields/

Historical Fiction 2015 Andrew Weiss Gallery, latest work: https://www.andrewweissgallery.com/blogs/news/38578883-historical-fiction-by-tyler-shields

As you can see this is much more recent than 2010 and should be included on the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maria226422 (talk • contribs) 11:22, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

The source you are using to reference the claim that Shields was "the youngest etc" does not prove that claim. You deleted a source that was an interview with Shields and replaced it with one that is merely a link to an Amazon.Com sales page. In your latest edit you removed sourced information from January 2016. Shearonink (talk) 14:38, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit to Tyler Shields

Hello. I noticed that you made an edit that introduces praise or promotional language to the Tyler Shields article. On Wikipedia, we adhere to a neutral point of view (NPOV) and avoid promotional language or puffery. Please read the NPOV policy page, as well as this page of language to avoid to better understand how to expand this article in a style suitable to an encyclopedia. If you have questions, please see the Help Desk page. Thank you! KSFT ^C 00:37, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Yes I made some edits. I felt the information was outdated. His work from a gallery in 2010 is mentioned which was six years ago. He has since had ten more galleries around the world. I mentioned "Decadence" which was the most recent one in London this year at Imitate Modern in London. Another is Los Angeles "Historical Fiction" last May at Andrew Weiss Gallery. It is a FACT that Sotheby's chose his photograph as one of the top 10 photographs to be collected in the auction for 10 000 pounds. It is also a FACT that his work was auctioned at Phillip's and at Sotheby's this year and that he was the youngest artist to be included. None of this was puffery. It can all be found. Only including information about a photographers work from 2010 and not since doesn't seem to support what wikipedia is? Additionally, the "article" written by Vice was written online by a gossip columnist which was NOT published by Vice magazine. Does wkipedia include articles written by gossip columns? I wasn't aware of that but if that is the case I understand. I was trying to add more updated information to this page and I am new to wikipedia. I included links to Sotheby's and to Phillips but somehow those aren't valid but your references are? It seemed that you might not want the more positive information on this page but maybe that is just how it came across. Seeing as you are so passionate about managing what goes on this page I would love to know your thoughts and why links to two of the most pretigious auction houses in the world don't count as references but others do.

Taete is the West Coast Editor for Vice magazine. The article includes photographs for readers to make up their own minds. Her most recent articles for Vice include "The Orlando Shooting Didn't Stop the Anti-Gay Protest at Los Angeles Pride" & "Ellen Page and Ian Daniel Talk About Documenting Homophobia and Hope Around the World" among others. That doesn't seem like a rumor-mongering gossip columnist to me. Plus just because someone might write celebrity-types of articles like "The Time I Had Lunch with Mariah Carey" doesn't invalidate all their other work.

Quick word...

Please do not mark edits as minor when the edits change or delete content. The minor edit option should only be used for edits that don't change the meaning of an article, like grammar or spelling corrections. If you are confused about when an edit should be considered as minor, take a look at Help:Minor edit. Shearonink (talk) 14:33, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adding references can be easy

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
Then click on "Templates".
Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.

Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header ==References== is near the end of the article.
And check that {{Reflist}} is directly underneath that header.

7. Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --Shearonink (talk) 07:42, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
