Talk:En Foco

Conflict of interest

This article was created by User:Enfoco (contributions) and expanded by User:Romais (contributions). The article describes Miriam Romais as coeditor of En Foco's magazine and the organization's Executive Director. -- Hoary (talk) 00:33, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Hoary - it is true, it seemed silly to pretend otherwise (now, THAT would be a conflict of interest!). I also received a message from GB that suggested other folks from outside the organization can add & edit, so its no longer a conflict. As far as notability goes, there are over 30 years of articles, essays and publications for and about the organization. Some of the country's leading writers have contributed to its magazine, and curated its shows. I assume that would be acceptable & no longer a conflict of interest?

Spoken well.

It's not the fault of En Foco that I, halfway around the Earth, know little of it. What little I know is impressive. En Foco definitely deserves an article. Now let's work to describe it as straightforwardly (even flatly) as possible. Its qualities should still be apparent.

More later; I'm already almost asleep (no fault of yours). -- Hoary (talk) 16:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

If I may make a comment: a conflict of interest is not necessarily an impediment to creating and maintaining a great article. Even if the subject of an article, or an employee of the subject of an article wishes to contribute, the same guidelines apply as to notability, reliable sources, verifiability, etc. The problem really occurs when people with a conflict of interest start saying things like "I know this is true" and "I am a verifiable source", which don't work.  Frank  |  talk  16:23, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

hee hee... understandable - we're always trying to fact check ourselves so I certainly understand the concept. I just tried entering a few more verifiable sources but it doesn't seem to be saving (Dos Mundos exhibition took place in 1973 at the New York Cultural Center in NYC).
