Polemic
In September 2022, the instagram account @balancetonagency publishes dozens and dozens of testimonies from former MTartagency employees and artists: moral harassment, tax fraud, theft… It is even said that Marine Tanguy wrote her own Wikipedia page… 81.241.164.141 (talk) 14:12, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Amends request: to be posted on article Talk page
Hi there I work at MTArt Agency. I am sharing this post to request assistance from a page editor in helping to update this page in line with Wikipedia rules and guidance. I am hoping to add some additional information about the agency and its founder, Marine Tanguy and would be hugely grateful for any assistance. I have detailed the information and relevant page sections below, along with citations, for your review and guidance. I would of course welcome any advice on phrasing to ensure these additions are acceptable and appropriate for Wikipedia. Please see below – thank you for your time. Section: MTArt Agency MTArt has offices in London and Monaco [citation: https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2021/03/09/call-my-agent-the-rise-of-the-artist-talent-agency] One of the agency’s investors is Frédéric Jousset, owner of Le Quotidien de l'Art. [citation: https://www.lequotidiendelart.com/articles/19887-les-agents-se-taillent-une-place-dans-le-monde-de-l-art.html] Since October 2019, MTArt Agency has been a certified BCorp. [citation: https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us/find-a-b-corp/company/m-t-art-agency/] In July 2022, the Sunday Times 100, an “annual ranking of Britain's fastest-growing private companies with revenues of less than £250 million”, ranked MTArt in 17th place with an annual sales growth of 128.03% over three years. [citation: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/mtart-agency-sunday-times-100-jmfl6vttv] Artists on the MTArt agency roster include Robert Montgomery, Walter & Zoniel, David Aiu Servan Schreiber, Asiko, Delphine Diallo, Lorenzo Quinn, Sara Shakeel, Claire Luxton, Elisa Insua, Jesse Woolston, Derrick O Boateng, Rayvenn D Clark and Liz West. [citation: https://mtart.agency/artists/] MTArt has worked with brands including Glenfiddich, Apple TV and Dior [citation: https://mtart.agency/brands/] and supplied public art installations to Westminster City Council, The Crown Estate in Central London, Camden Council and the Knightsbridge Estate. [citations: https://mtart.agency/public-art/, https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2021/03/09/call-my-agent-the-rise-of-the-artist-talent-agency] Section: Personal projects Tanguy was named one of the UK’s top female entrepreneurs at the 2019 NatWest everywoman Awards. [citation: https://bmmagazine.co.uk/news/mtart-agency-founder-marine-tanguy-named-one-of-uks-top-entrepreneurs/] 31.94.67.93 (talk) 07:02, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, IP. Most of this content is about MTArt Agency, rather than directly about Tanguy, and I am not sure how appropriate it is for a biographical article about Tanguy.  Listing brands which MTArt has worked with, and artists that they represent, sourced solely to MTArt's own website, seems more about promoting MTArt than it is about writing a biography of Tanguy.
 * I'm not sure about the everywoman award: it doesn't seem that notable an award (unlike the Forbes 30 under 30 already mentioned in the article, we don't have an article on the prize, for instance), but as you have given an independent source for it, and as we do mention the awards in the articles of other notable winners (e.g. Elle Macpherson) I have added it.

 * Hello,
 * First of all, many thanks for your guidance and for taking the time to make the amends. The points you raised make sense. However, if it’s not too much trouble, could you maybe re-assess one of them? The current segment on the page does miss some key factual and referenced elements of the situation (see below):
 * In September 2022, the Instagram page Balance Ton Agency shared a series of anonymous posts about Tanguy alleging fraud, bullying and infidelity. In October 2022, these anonymous allegations were reported in Le Monde. Tanguy has stated that this was an incident of cyberbullying and defamation [citation: https://www.countryandtownhouse.com/culture/meet-marine-tanguy-the-entrepreneur-taking-the-art-world-by-storm/]
 * Many thanks in advance, Artdamo (talk) 14:19, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
