Undue weight puff

Greg, you can't make a blanket statement like, He is known as the premier photographer of the Monterey Peninsula during the late 19th-century. when only one person wrote that. Instead you could say, "(Author's name) wrote that he was ....." or "He was described in the magazine of the Calif. Hist. Society as the ......." Understand the difference between what is currently in the lead, and a more neutral, encyclopedic way of stating something which does not does not give the claim undue weight.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll update the text. Greg Henderson (talk) 23:58, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Netherzone and Greghenderson2006: This is a textbook example of a WP:ECREE situation, particularly given its subjective opinionated language casting the subject in a blatantly positive light. If there aren't several high-quality independent reliable sources directly making this claim in their own voice, then it stays out. Left guide (talk) 08:54, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
