Talk:Robert Ray (artist)

Robert Ray Artist
Hello, I wrote in earlier to address a close connection issue relating to the "robert ray artist" page, and it was suggested that the user name RRay Estate implied a compensation relationship. I have since requested a name change to "Booleaserate" and disclosed that I have not been compensated to create the page. I am the great-nephew of the artist and am creating a page in homage to an uncle that was very kind to me as a child. Please advise if further action is required.

Many thanks! Booleaserate (talk) 17:29, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Your relationship to Ray still constitutes a "close connection". You should exercise caution to remain neutral in editing the article. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:36, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

My impression is that Robert Ray is notable due to his commercial and public presence and particularly his inclusion in major collections, but - with regard to the content - the entry is 3 times the written size it should be. "Early life, travel and education", "Work" and "Art Market" could be reworked to become "Early life & career", and "Reception". Notes on his style/medium could be entered into the article introduction. There are unnecessary descriptions of collections and foundations which are evidently notable from their individual wiki entries. (FoleyArtist (talk) 04:18, 21 March 2018 (UTC))
