Talk:Federation of Canadian Artists

Foundation section - link to Gordon Sinclair goes to the wrong person

 * What I think should be changed: In the Foundation section, it talks about the founding members of the organization. Gordon Sinclair was indeed the organizer of the Western Canadian section, but the link goes to the wrong Gordon Sinclair. The correct person is artist J. Gordon Sinclair, from Komoka, Ontario who was also a founding member of the Alberta Society of Artists and the Edmonton Art Club in Alberta, Canada. The correct J. Gordon Sinclair was my grandfather so I have personal knowledge of his involvement in these organizations. I have many photos, newspaper clippings and other references (like the history of the Alberta Society of Artist and of the Edmonton Art Club) that can establish that he was an artist and that his biographical information in my possession is correct. He does not have a wiki entry but there are details of his biography and images of his art online eg. https://www.askart.com/artist/John_Gordon_J_Gordon_Sinclair/11148483/John_Gordon_J_Gordon_Sinclair.aspx
 * Why it should be changed: the link is to an incorrect Gordon Sinclair who is a person that has no affiliation to the Federation of Canadian Artists and is not an artist.
 * References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):I don't really know how to do this but here is one citation: https://www.askart.com/artist/John_Gordon_J_Gordon_Sinclair/11148483/John_Gordon_J_Gordon_Sinclair.aspx

 * I've removed the link. Since we don't have an article on J. Gordon Sinclair yet, it currently displays as a redlink. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 17:33, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
