Major Reorganisation
I've reorganised the article and added content. I still need to add inline citations and content to the "photgraphic series" section, but I wanted to get this up in case anyone else wants to make edits.

I realise this is a living person bio, so if there is any inappropriate content I'm happy to see other edits. Laura schnak (talk) 19:25, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I have further reorganized the information, and intend to include a section of themes of his overall work as that seems to be a large portion of what sources discussing his work talk about (also there is a lot to say on that). I have also included reliable secondary sources that should increase the overall credibility of the article. Also included some added details that should fill the article more.

Copyviol?
If the biography is 'from' the subject's site (http://www.edwardburtynsky.com), is it a copyviol? m.e. 14:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * yes it is... m.e. 15:04, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

'Ed' Redirect
For those interested, I've just created the page 'Ed Burtynsky' which redirects here. This was done because I was trying to find some info about Ed after listening to his TED Talk - he is referred to simply as Ed Burtynsky, and the page didn't appear. I only found him through the List of photographers page. Thanks Fakelvis 00:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

"Museum" link?
Is it really necessary to have "museum" linked? I thought universal terms were not to be linked. --Loser078 (talk) 10:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

BLP sourcing issues
This article has some issue related to sourcing and reliability - quick notes as I'm running out of steam: Curdigirl (talk) 11:22, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Claims sourced to primary sources, written or created by the subject
 * 2) Claims which the provided sources do not support, for various reasons such as: broken links, site doesn't have the info, site has part of the info in the claim, but not all of it.
 * 3) The article seems resume-like at times and needs work to be more neutral and factually supported.

Attempt to Include information on works
The article's current Photography section is lacking heavily in relevant and reliably sourced information. After some research, I have found some articles that discuss some of his works and would like to include that information in this article. I also intend to work on Burtynsky's article for the remainder of my class. I have some research on his background and interviews that could be useful. I would be happy to link them here for future reference! PhrameSeek (talk) 09:14, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Great. Welcome. Feel free to ask any questions, should you have any. Otherwise dive right in with whatever contributions you have. I'm sure your input will be valued. Please note that interviews are considered to be primary sources, thus not as valued here as independent reliable sources. -Lopifalko (talk) 13:22, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Yeah I figured that would be the case. I'll scratch that from my resources then.

Questionable source?
Hi all! still new to the Wikipedia thing and I know Lopifalko had somewhat mentioned this already but I would like someone to review a source for me if possible. It would be a shame to not use it (if not by me, by someone else) because it hold so much great information about Burtynsky's early career but it is from an interview recorded in a book. I know interviews are generally considered primary sources, but I am also aware that if they are peer reviewed, they can fall into some sort of exception rule. Please advise on how I should proceed with this source. Thank you! PhrameSeek (talk) 07:16, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * That link requires signing in to be able to read. What does a 'peer reviewed interview' entail? -Lopifalko (talk) 08:13, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I was thinking an interview that would be found in a peer-reviewed journal or in a book linked to National Archives. PhrameSeek (talk) 23:12, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
