Bios to work on, Edward Winkleman and Tyler Greene

I think I'm ready to start the next art critic bio now that the Brian Sherwin bio is out of the way. The Edward Winleman bio will be my next contribution. Tyler's will be a breeze. I think. If anyone reads this and has ideas let me know. Let me know if you are aware of other American art critics and writers that you think should be included on wikipedia. I'll read up on them.

I'd be happy to look at them. I suggest you post in a user sub page first of all (where they will be safe from deletion), complete with refs etc. However, put a colon at the beginning of categories, so your sub page isn't shown on the category page, i.e. [[:Category:Art critics]]. You can then ask for feedback from others also. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts is an obvious place to request this. Ty 05:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kirk Weddle

If you can find the sources, by all means write up the article. You can do this in your user space at User:Roodhouse1/Kirk Weddle (click link to start the new page). It was such a short article that I suggest starting from scratch. If you really need the existing text, I can retrieve it. Ty 00:59, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I still have the links and most of what I wrote saved elsewhere. I did not get far. Not sure if it is worth it though. I did find some info about Cobain's reaction to the photograph as well as the name of the Art Director from Geffen records who hired Weddle. Most of the info comes from articles about the guy who was in the photograph as a baby. I don't think the model is notable at all. Yet it seems that his bio might be merged. If that happens it might be possible to merge info about the artist behind the photograph as well. I guess that is the question. Can an artist be notable for one iconic image?
