peacock[edit]

The first paragraph: not only does it contain peacock terms but it also uses vague and imprecise langueage that could only be accepted here in citations . The result is that the reader cannot actually get information, they are instead exposed to panache of words that say very little. Well, I was the reader, I wanted to read something about the artist. Instead I read how I should interpret her "uniquely complex fusion and aesthetic concerns". - Mohylek 16:55, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. An example: "The performances are existential encounters between models and audience, their shame and their expectations." Who says? What even is an 'existential encounter'? 50.100.30.43 (talk) 02:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

user[edit]

The whole article feels overtly favorable to this person, feeling more like an advertisement.

user2[edit]

I agree with the user above; page is very favorable and not fitting to a fairly controversial artist. 198.40.29.4 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:27, 8 March 2012 (UTC).[reply]

The Art Star and the Sudanese Orphans[edit]

Yes, odd article. And further, strange that the only link to the movie above, of which she is the focus, mentions nothing about the content of the movie itself. Perhaps a more appropriate link would be to Rotten Tomatoes for the movie, or http://jam.canoe.ca/Movies/Reviews/A/Art_Star_And_The_Sudanese_Twins/2009/03/20/8819551-sun.html ? - 202.46.177.2 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:42, 21 March 2012 (UTC).[reply]

COI?[edit]

I worked today on cleaning up a lot of this article, it had very few citations (and is a BLP). I added in many RS citations, cleaned up the details. I noticed prior to some of the clean up efforts there had been a lot of peacocking and personal details added without citation. I am adding a note here in case this issue persists. Jooojay (talk) 01:00, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see in the history someone with the user name "Vanessa Beecroft" was editing this article in 2017 and the copyvio issues started in 2006 with an IP user. Jooojay (talk) 01:05, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More COI type of edits were made today by an IP address user removing citations. Jooojay (talk) 02:40, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
