Hi everyone,

Significant improvements have been made to the Michael Yamashita page. Would someone be kind enough to evaluate it for a rating within the scope of this project? Thank you.

Does not meet more than its currently-rated Start-class. -Lopifalko (talk) 13:54, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing and for making the page more accurate, I saw your edits.

I have a question- the intro to his bio simply states he is a Japanese-American photographer. Would it make sense to add context to this part of the bio, for example “best known for his work at National Geographic”

Trying to remain neutral and factual but also add needed context so that part of the page isn’t as sparse. Cryptohydrate (talk) 14:15, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Following up on this ask Cryptohydrate (talk) 12:53, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

@Cryptohydrate: If that's what he's best known for then do that, but I suggest you instead summarise what he is known for doing for National Geographic. Also add his year of birth—I would have done so, but couldn't read the source for YOB, so didn't know if it was properly sourced. -Lopifalko (talk) 13:28, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I will review and follow up when changes are completed. Thank you! Cryptohydrate (talk) 14:21, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Importance level vanished after GA award

The Canon EOS R page was previously rated as "Low importance" under the "Photography" project.

Since the article has been granted "Good Article" status, the importance level has vanished. Should I just edit the page and change importance= back to importance=Low or does the "Good Article" status affect the importance in some way? Bob (talk) 17:30, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Request for Review and Input on a New Article about Michelle Valberg

Hello, WikiProject Photography members,

I recently created a draft article about Michelle Valberg, a renowned Canadian nature and wildlife photographer known for her extensive work, especially in the Arctic regions. This article aims to highlight her career, contributions to photography, and her efforts in environmental and philanthropic activities.

As I prepare to move this draft towards a formal review, I am seeking your expertise to ensure that the article meets Wikipedia's standards for accuracy and neutrality and that it adequately covers her significant contributions to the field of photography.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or edits you could provide to help enhance this article. Here is the link to the draft: Draft:Michelle Valberg

Thank you for your time and assistance. Bojamon (talk) 16:24, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

@Bojamon: I will have a look. Describing her here as "renowned" (WP:PUFFERY) does not look like a good start. -Lopifalko (talk) 20:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

This is a puff piece written to promote the subject. I have removed the obvious WP:PROMO language but it will need significant attention to make it compatible with Wikipedia. I have not yet looked at the sources to see if they indicate notability. -Lopifalko (talk) 20:42, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your edits and comments! I'm still finding my footing with Wikipedia's guidelines, and your feedback is super helpful. I see your point about the promotional tone and I'm keen to learn how to keep things neutral and factual.

If you have any tips on areas that need more work or how I can better establish notability with solid sources, I would really appreciate it. I want to make sure the article is up to par and valuable to readers.

Thanks again for taking a look and helping me out. Looking forward to any more insights you might have!

Cheers Bojamon (talk) 23:24, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
