Request for Article Expansion
Dear Wikipedia Editors and Contributors, I am writing on behalf of the studio of the photographer, Platon. I am an intern at Platon's Studio 1-2 days a week and have been given the task of reaching out to Wiki contributors with the hopes of finding someone to agree to updating the stub entry to a full biographical Wikipedia entry. Could someone please advise on how might I go about getting a photographer's stub upgraded and updated to a full Wikipedia entry? Platon already has a Wiki entry started, but it provides mostly out of date information. Furthermore, his career meets many of the criteria for an entry on a photographer including the fact that: - he has put out multiple books by (non-vanity) commercial publishers or university presses. - his has appeared in many exhibitions that have been noted in more than local press. - his work has historical significance. For instance, he has photographed more world leaders than any other living photographer. I would be happy to provide any factual information in regards to things such as: showdates, books published, holdings in prominent permanent collections by museums etc., that might be required in researching the article. I understand that I may not be able to write the entry myself because I work in his studio, but I was wondering what other options might be open to me in order to get his entry updated? Thank you all and I look forward to your response. All the best, Johnny Platonphoto (talk) 20:11, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
