[edit]It's in the ballpark for B-class, but I think it just misses. First off, good use of the infobox and persondata. The first thing to do is to cite as many of the statements in the article as you can. I put in an inline citation and references section to get you started, and you can find out more at WP:CITE#HOW.
The next thing I'd do would be to fill in some information from 1959 to 1980. By that time, I think you'd have all the pieces on the board and would be able to write a solid lead per WP:LEAD. After that, I'd take a look at a few articles in Category:B-Class biography articles and compare and contrast -- you'll probably have a solid b-class article and can start looking at WP:WIAGA. Good luck! HausTalk 23:43, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
In addition to the fact that there aren't really enough references to the sources, I think this article could be improved by:
- More wikilinking
- Samples of his work to illustrate his style
Thank you for your comments!
IMO, it doesn't, because it has almost no citations and references, and the biography is incomplete with important chronological gaps. Enrich your articles with sources, cite properly, and you'll achive not anly B-Class but also higher quality ranks! Some additional suggestions:
- Anything about his personal life? What was going on in his life before 1981?
- "Valium also completed The Survivor, a monumental painting centered around a Joseph Goebbels family picture that was shown at Gallery Clark[1]" Avoid external jumps like this one. Make proper inline ciations, using Template:cite web and Template:cite news.
- "Influences: * Benito Jacovitti ..." Couldn't this be a section with proper prose, where you'll analyze his influences? I also find "Fellow artists" listy. Add them in this "Influences" section I propose, telling us which are exactly their artistic affialiances.--Yannismarou 12:41, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
