Talk:José Liard

WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drive. 21 March 2011.
The only information about Liard that can be assumed in good faith, or that is referenced anywhere as being correct is this:

'''José Luis Liard (born 10 September 1945, Montevideo, Uruguay), is an artist who works particularly in Sweden. In 1981, he painted a large mural on the side of a building in Trelleborg. He has illustrated for a book of short stories by August Strindberg: Distress and, in 2009, the book: 10 reasons to love Freud.'''

Liard has a web site with many claims that I think we would be churlish not to believe are true. But, being an indication of notability by Liard himself, his site cannot be used as a source. After an extensive search of the web, spread over many days, the only independent third party evidence I can find is the two books above. I have asked the artist and the article’s original creator, by email, to clarify certain confusions, provide anything that might develop the article, and point me to any sources that exist.

I will leave the article as it is for now until the end of the copyedit drive - it hangs-together reasonably well. I will also leave my copyedit drive tag on the article, hoping that I can improve its veracity before the end of March; if it remains as it is there might be a case of reducing it to a stub - but I ask other editors to leave the article and its tags as it stands until then.

 * No email feedback over the last week from the article's creator or Liard himself, so saved as is.


 * In copyediting, certain “facts” and dates might have become misaligned, showing how confused the article was in places - if editors with knowledge of the subject need to correct any facts and dates, then go-ahead please. The article needs to be developed.


 * However, if any new information is added, or present changed, please do this with adequate linked evidence to corroborate assertions, and in an encyclopedic style. Any future edits that display COI or non-Verifiability and are added from a non-Neutral point of view will be swiftly removed.
