Credibility problem

Unfortunately this article is muddied by its authorship. See its history and also this sockpuppet investigation, which links several of the authors. If the author will stoop to creating bogus support for promotion to GA, I wonder about matters such as the citation of sources that aren't easily available. -- Hoary (talk) 01:12, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is no credibility problem. I wish all articles were equally well documented with references. -- 68.76.227.6 (talk) 20:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quality/importance assessment

In this edit, User:SwissLawyer gave this a B grade for WikiProject History of Photography; in the next edit, he or she did the same for WikiProject Visual Arts. This despite the adulatory and unsourced quotations, the largely unsourced biographical information, and the lack of sourcing for exhibitions.

Not so odd when you realize that the assessor is the author.

I've changed every "B" to "C", and deleted "importance=mid". -- Hoary (talk) 13:46, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
