Addition of irrelevant and unsourced information[edit]

An editor keeps attempting to add to the article that Borglum's teacher in Omaha, J. Laurie Wallace was "the principal figure in Eakins' 'The Swimming Hole', now at the Amon Carter Museum." It is my contention that (1) this is unsourced and (2) it is irrelevant to an article about Borglum that his teacher appeared in another artist's painting. It tells us nothing relevant about Wallace as a teacher, or about what Borglum might have learned from them. It is, in fact, a piece of unrelated interjected trivia which the editor needs to stop trying to force into the article. BMK (talk) 01:07, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Editor:

The proposition is simple. The connection to someone as august as Eakins is J. Laurie Wallace. J. Laurie Wallace was far more than a simple 'former pupil of Thomas Eakins'. He was a consummate model (to Eakins), assistant instructor and important in Eakins' development of locomotion in film, carried on by Muybridge. This fleshes out the attraction to Wallace by Borglum and gives an importance to why Borglum would have sought out Wallace in a town such as Omaha. It is not a BAD thing that knowledge beyond the simple sentence structure would be gained by stating Wallace's importance. Wallace's Wikipedia page is ALL about Eakins. None of Wallace's own artwork is illustrated, which will be remedied. Also Borglum's page, considering his towering accomplishments in sculpture is extraordinarily tiny. And that will be remedied. This entry about Wallace EXPANDS the knowledge delivered about Borglum. That is good.

Mountain Out of a Molehill:

You have spent an inordinate amount of time on something that is trivial (your expulsion of the information), time that could and should be spent on something far more important. If you delete any of this you will be reported. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdillonf (talk • contribs) 03:27, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bullshit. You are edit warring, you have no consensus, and your going down. BMK (talk) 07:39, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
