Gord Smith (sculptor)
Hello! Thank you for your edits to Gord Smith (sculptor). Just a heads up: I added a collections section and also removed the private collections. We generally never list private collections on Wikipedia, as they are private and do not help our global and very public audience. Also, when adding references, always place the reference after punctuation and not before. Small thing! Thanks.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:38, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Fraser-Hickson Sculpture
Hey there...thanks for fixing everything so far! These are my first contributions to Wikipedia so excuse my mistakes :) I wanted to ask why his sculpture at the Fraser-Hickson library was removed from Gord Smith's page? It is a commission from a public institution. Let me know, as I would really like to have it on his page considering it is his first commission.

Thanks so much!

 * Hi. That information is still in the page. Also, please have a look at WP:SIGN, which shows you how to sign your posts. That way we know who is asking a question. We do not usually use real names, so feel free to delete that. Or not.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:34, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Source
Hello! Do you have a source for "His sculptures are usually made of stainless or cor-ten steel and have a keen sense of form, balance and texture. Smith's process involves the methodical analysis of the relationship between shapes, surfaces and materials."? Material in the lede can summarize what is in the article without a source, but this doesn't seem to. It therefore needs a source, as we do not write original prose on Wikipedia--- we just summarize things.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:40, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

I don't have a source this is based off my interviews with the artist and a personal analysis of the work...so feel free to take it down. I will eventually be able to find enough information to corroborate this. Thanks! Szuccarini (talk) 00:18, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, if you know the artist and therefore have a close connection, you should read and abide by the conflict of interest policy here. Thanks.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:50, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

I gave it a read, thanks so much! I will be sure to use clear sources and stay away from personal input. Thanks! Szuccarini (talk) 02:23, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
