Talk:Janette Kerr

Conflict of interest
This article was created by an employee of the Janette Kerr Gallery Cadogan Contemporary and has been edited by the subject of the article, per the tags in the box above. Those editors should not be editing this article directly, but instead should make "edit requests" - the bottommost section of the box above, has a link that will allow you to do that easily. Joseph2302 placed a "COI" tag on this article, as the article needs to be reviewed for compliance with our WP:NPOV and sourcing policies by an independent editor before the tag can be removed. Whoever does that, please leave a note here. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 12:23, 16 June 2015 (UTC) (corrected Jytdog (talk) 14:44, 16 June 2015 (UTC))


 * Jytdog.Could you link please to the Janette Kerr Gallery? I don't see this. Thanks.(Littleolive oil (talk) 14:41, 16 June 2015 (UTC))

Parking until and if sourced accurately
Brian Fallon, the former Chief Critic of the Irish Times proclaimed Kerr to be “the best painter of the sea in these islands.”

 * And why exactly did you readd this with an aggressive edit summary, and then remove it straight away? It's clearly just selective quoting- there's probably lots of quotes about her from people, but only the one saying "She's the best" was added. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:09, 16 June 2015 (UTC)


 * My edit summary is a simple statement of what happens with collaborative editing. If something is under discussion; one should probably not remove it in the middle of the discussion. Doing so shows a sense of WP:Ownership


 * Per WP:BLP unsourced content must be removed. I checked the source for this content and while its clear it is sourced I have yet to locate the original source which is preferable, so per BLP I am forced to remove the content until we do have the source.


 * Until we can find other sources that describe a response to  Kerr's work this is the only one  we have, and a short quote from that source is acceptable. but so is a summary of the Fallon's article. We don't remove content in case someone somewhere else has made negative comments. Remember this is an artist  and its very possible that her work is viewed favourably across the board . So far we don't have anything that says she isn't viewed favourabley. NPOV means we acesss the sources available and add content per WP:WEIGHT and per those sources. Right now we one review that happens to be positive. We can note that. (Littleolive oil (talk) 17:26, 16 June 2015 (UTC))


 * Yes I understand the process, which was exactly why I removed it- promotional, and not properly sourced. I'm not trying to own the article, but I'm trying to follow the standard cleanup processes for a COI article, which is to remove unsourced and controversial or promotional content. Never had a problem with other users when I've done this, so not sure why you have such a big issue with such uncontroversial changes. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:36, 16 June 2015 (UTC)


 * What you removed was not promotional. Don't confuse positive, acceptable content with promotional content. Promotional content is content that is clearly added to project an unfair view of the topic or subject. To say an artist is the best in a certain area is not unusual. If it really bothers you, I would also think a  summary of the review would be fine and maybe better than the quote,  but total removal of the review isn't appropriate for the reasons you gave.(Littleolive oil (talk) 20:00, 16 June 2015 (UTC))
