Sortakinda COI disclosure?
I had a conversation with someone I know where they were telling me they learned they were related to some painter who was actually pretty well known back in the 1920s. They showed me some work and I liked it, so I looked to see if he had an article. He didn't, so I wrote a draft. I'm saying this because "someone I know told me about some famous relative and I wrote an article about them" is rather more of a COI than I'm used to, and I'd like to disclose it here. To be clear, that person didn't ask me to write this, doesn't know I'm writing this [yet -- I'll probably ask them to find more sources for me], and I don't stand to gain anything from it. Regardless, I'm hoping someone else will take a look at it first before I move it to mainspace. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 21:33, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

A couple notes:
 * I have some emails out to archivists/curators/librarians to find more sources, but I'm confident that what's here is more than enough for either WP:GNG or WP:NARTIST.
 * Unfortunately there's not much information after 1933/34.
 * There are some sources which may draw skepticism. A couple go to a blogspot page, but one of them is just linking to a scan of a newspaper hosted there; the others are the blog of historian John Crosse, who has published a number of journal articles, etc. about California art/architecture (WP:EXPERTSPS). The YouTube video and the tfaoi.org materials were created by Laguna Art Museum curators.
 * I know it would still need some work to head to a GA. There are perhaps a couple too many quotes, for example. At this point, I just want to make sure it's clean enough for mainspace. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 21:40, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
