Talk:Rowan Gillespie

message: I reluctantly removed the sources tag but will AGF but am not happy about they way that Pamela Gardiner is using what she thinks are references. Some links are to galleries that have no actual reference to the artist on the linked page, this is not a reference, it is just an external link listed as a source. Find a page that supports the statements you make in the text. The same applies to the links to 2 different sites that are sales pages for the book you use as a reference - they make no reference to the artist or his work and don't belong. I suggest that you also use the proper citation methods as already given on your user talk page by another editor, especially this one which shown how to ref books and websites properly. Just improve the references and add some more if possible. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 05:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This page might be a useful link for you to use. You also should expand the lead, as I did previously but you reverted. Check out the lead section guidelines that tell you what it should contain and how long it should be—one short sentence is not enough to do justice to the subject. ww2censor (talk) 17:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes but surely the fact that Rowan has a sculpture of two old guys in the middle of Sandyford must count for something? Sarah777 (talk) 21:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi Pam - I think the article is about a "B" now. Importance is something that really depends on the subject, so Rowan will need to make a bigger splash in the pool to increase that. (The rating does not reflect on the merits of his work; just his notability. Regards Sarah777 (talk) 01:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps Sarah is more generous that I am, but, to me, it is marginal whether it really rates a B-class, but I won't change it. Thanks for the work. ww2censor (talk) 02:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Arragh Ww - I wouldn't say I'm more generous; how about clinical?? Anyway; what do you think it needs to make it a B in your judgement? Pam wants advice! Sarah777 (talk) 23:27, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This whole item remains a blatantly commercial piece of self-promotion drawing from two sources: 1, the subject Gillespie himself; and 2, his biography brazenly described as written by "Gillespie's lifelong friend, the artist and publisher Roger Kohn". Yet even so, many evaluations are published here still unsupported by citation! – 217.155.200.241 (talk) 16:07, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
