Expansion:
Hi everyone! As you may know, this page is going major rennovations. I'd like for nobody to revert/ alter things until I'm done, but that isn't going to be for a while, so I doubt this will happen. I can only get the book once a week for a couple of days, so bear with me, but I should be done in a few weeks... Cheers, Spawn Man 04:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, as you may have noticed, the expansions are over. :) Spawn Man 02:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Repetition
I don't have time to do it right now, but much of the article could be pruned down to achieve better readability and concision. It seems that we are told over and over again that Kertész didn't find the reception he hoped for and that he was disappointed by this fact. By the end it gets to be a bit much. A number of other facts are stated multiple time when once would suffice. As a guideline for future development, reducing the verbosity and repetition should be considered. If I have time I may take a stab at some of this, but it's unlikely I could do it for some time.

Proposal to remove date-autoformatting
Dear fellow contributors

MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether or not dates are autoformatted. MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this.

There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:

Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. Does anyone object if I remove it from the main text (using a script) in a few days’ time on a trial basis? The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links.

Make more concise
Editing for concision, deletion of OPED language, removal of redundant statements, etc.Parkwells (talk) 16:15, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Possible error in regard to family
It is stated in the article that André was the brother of Imre Kertész, the Nobel laureate. I believe this is a mistake; I.K. the Nobel laureate was born in 1929; the brother Imre can be seen on some of André's photos from the Hungarian Period, i.e. before 1925. Also, André's father died in 1908, the mother, a old woman as can be seen on pictures made in the early Twenties, died in 1933, making it highly unlikely that she could have been the mother to Imre Kertész, the Nobel laureate, born in '29.

I don't want to delete that part myself because I'm very new and unsure, but I'd be happy about a feedback (or a foundation for the claim that André Kertész's brother Imre and the Nobel laureate Imre Kertész are actually the same person). Dudley Heinsbergen (talk) 22:11, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I think the correct behavior for unsourced, highly improbable claims is to remove them. I just did this with the assertion that his birth name was Kohn. No other Wikipedia has this, and it was introduced by an IP whose only other edit was to insert another Jewish-sounding birth name into an article. The other edit seems factual, but it still makes me wonder as to that IP's motivation.--88.73.49.139 (talk) 14:45, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

External link to Kati Marton's lecture
The current revision has a dead link to Kati Marton's lecture, pointing to forums.wgbh.org. WGBH themselves posted the video to YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcjmBOSt63U, but my simple attempt to fix got, naturally, reverted by XLinkBot. I read through the policies on linking to YouTube and this may be a valid use; if someone with more experience agrees, can you push through the edit? Pcherna (talk) 01:16, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

FAR Notice
Planning on taking this to FAR in its current condition. There are sentences that are completely uncited. As well, the prose is not at all up to standard and needs a rewrite. GamerPro64 06:45, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Hungarians?
Man Ray and Germaine Krull weren’t Hungarian, so the way they’re mentioned (in an ungrammatical sentence) as a coda to a list of Hungarians, and along with another Hungarian, is misleading. It’s not clear what the author intended. 94.173.211.41 (talk) 19:55, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
