Talk:Ashley George Old

Portrait of "Dusty" Rhodes

 * Being a professional artist, I know more than well what can, and what cannot be done in 3 minutes. The WP:CAPTION under the image was a classic WP:REDFLAG for me, therefore I looked closely at the scan of the original artwork in question. And ... this is what I saw. The note about the quote-unquote: "3 minute sketch", written with a different colour pen, has been added by an undisclosed hand at a different time, because the author's real signature, done with a watercolour brush is right above it, easy to compare. It is written in a completely different style of handwriting. By the way, writing notes on other people artwork usually decreases the value of the original dramatically. That's why only an idiot would ever deface the original artwork in such a way. In the end, it is a Wikipedia issue of the complete absence of basic WP:VERIFIABILITY of the claim made by an online user.  Poeticbent  talk 14:11, 22 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Everything you have said is YOUR OPINION and hence original research, not allowed by Wiki. And as you say, why would anybody deface a piece of original art? Tomintoul (talk) 08:01, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * No. The WP:ORIGINAL RESEARCH is your preposterous personal assumption that "the earth is flat", because the forged little note under the watercolour says so. BTW, people deface artworks all the time, and they do so usually out of ignorance.  Poeticbent  talk 13:40, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
