Martin Francisco edit

Hi Kara lswick

I see that at Wikipedia:Artist biography article template/Preload, you started writing an article about Martin Francisco.

Great to you see starting an article, but that page was not the place to do it.

So I have reverted your edits there, and made a copy of what you what at User:Kara lswick/sandbox. Your sandbox is the usual place to develop articles until they are ready for publication.

Best wishes, --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 06:06, 13 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia artist biography edit

Hi My name is Kara, you left me a message about a page on Martin Francisco that I was trying to create, I have to admit that it is do hard to create a page or artist's profile on Wikipedia, that I have been looking for someone who can help me do all the necessary edits yo finish it and maybe someday see it published, like, I couldn't even figure out how to upload his picture to add it to his page, he has done a lot of auctions and sold some of his art mainly on ebth.com and his art is going to be included in the world of frida traveling exhibition by Bedford Gallery which will begin sometime in 2019 and last through 2022 and will be exhibited in different museums and galleries around the country!, so maybe I will find someone who can help me finish his page. Let me know what you think Thank you. Kara. Kara lswick (talk) 17:56, 13 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi Kara, I noticed your post on BHG's talk page. You may want to take a look at WP:NARTIST, which is a guideline about 'notability' of creative profressionals. Subjects of Wikipedia articles nees to be 'notable', i.e. widely recognised or having proven success. Auction websites or gallery websites don't really prove 'notabiity', becauae they're not independent of the artist and have a vested interest in promoting them. If Fransisco has been the subject of news articles or books, for example, that may prove he's important enough for Wikipedia. Good luck with your editing! Sionk (talk) 18:10, 13 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
