The World Destubathon

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help towards making the content produced as diverse and broad as possible!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:03, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Albert Leitner

hi, you've flagged the article Paul Albert Leitner as "like a resumé". this was almost a year ago, nothing happened since. are you willing to discuss this? everything's properly sourced and quoted and from people from the field. i'd be willing to work on this, but i'm not sure what the problem is. maybe things sound different in english than they do in german? thanks!

Of course, @Mars Mli I will have a look at it again, and get back to you here. I'm guessing it was probably flagged it while reviewing articles on New Page Patrol during a backlog, and it fell off my "radar screen". English WP and other language Wikipedias all have different standards for best practices and guidelines, so that may also be a factor. Netherzone (talk) 19:34, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mars Mli, I had a look at the article, and see that the main problem was the long list of both solo and group exhibitions. I've moved these to the article talk page (and left a message there). The English Wikipedia's Manual of Style for visual arts states this about lists of exhibitions: Long lists of exhibitions should be avoided. It will rarely be useful to mention more than five exhibitions. For contemporary and modern artists the venue of exhibitions can be important evidence of notability, but only the most important should be given. My advice to you is to chose the five most prestigious solo shows (at either museums, major Kunsthalles or National Galleries (rather than commercial galleries or smaller venues); and make sure to add independent reliable sources to back up that these shows occurred (like a review, or a passage from an art history book or academic journal article). Then add these five exhibitions back to the article.

I also think the Awards section and Publications section and Further reading section can be trimmed per WP:NOTAWEBHOST and WP:NOTRESUME. Encyclopedia articles should be a synopsis of the most important accomplishments that contribute to a person's notability. The rest should be on the artist's personal website, or gallerists website.

Thanks you for creating the article and for your contributions! Netherzone (talk) 19:53, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thanks so much for your detailed response. i appreciate this a lot. the exhib-list was not on my radar at all. i will work on this an get back to you. Mars Mli (talk) 13:38, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
