Article issues needing attention

 * There is a "Missing citations" tag ("Color images" subsection) dated May 2022. The good article criteria #2b states, reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
 * "All content that could reasonably be challenged", would actually mean there should be no instances of the possibility of challenges. The B-class criteria states, The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited.


 * It has been well established that the lead does not "usually" need sourcing if content is covered with citations elsewhere in the article. I may have missed this reading the second paragraph of the lead, especially the last part: "... and his photographic practice was deeply entwined with this advocacy. "
 * The last sentence of the second to last paragraph in the "World war II" subsection in not cited and includes: "This series of photographs produced memorable images of Old Faithful Geyser, Grand Teton, and Mount McKinley".
 * The "Notable photographs" and "Published works" has some entries that do not have links or citations. It might be interesting to know: "Adams, Ansel (1948). The negative: exposure and development. New York; London: Morgan and Lester; The Fountain Press", is an edition of "Basic photo (1948)".
 * I am not sure that the "Further reading" section needs to be so comprehensive (30 entries), but that may be subjective.

Re: "Some of my best photographs"

 * Adams made a candid portrait of O'Keeffe with Cox on the rim of Canyon de Chelly. Adams once remarked, "Some of my best photographs have been made in and on the rim of [that] canyon." Their works set in the desert Southwest are often published and exhibited together.

Unless I'm getting this confused with something else, I believe that many of these "best photographs" have not been seen or exhibited. Recently, I read about how some of the work from this famous set was ruined, and I got me wondering if attempts had been made to correct and restore it. I will reply with more info once I track it down, but it did stick with me and I wanted to make note of it here. Viriditas (talk) 23:13, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
