Talk:Sam Haskins

message: This is a very energetically constructed article. Good. However, it needs a lot of attention.
Here's just one sample, a list within a list of influences:
* Irving Penn
* Richard Avedon
* Edward Steichen
* Henri Cartier Bresson
And within those, let's consider Penn. Penn gets an internal link. Fine. However, he also gets two external links. I went to both; neither mentions Haskins. Thus there's no reason for either of the links. 
What is needed is a source for the claim that Haskins credited these people. And I don't see the need for a list at all. I'd write something like:
Among photographers, Haskell has said he has been influenced by [[Irving
Penn]], Richard Avedon, Edward Steichen and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
As stated above, you need sources. Let's imagine for a moment that he credited Penn and Avedon in one page that's on the web, and Steichen and HCB in two others. You could then write:
Among photographers, Haskell has said he has been influenced by [[Irving
Penn]], Richard Avedon,[URL1 title1] [[Edward
Steichen]][URL2 title2] and Henri Cartier-Bresson.[URL3
title3]
This will be dreary to read and also the scope of URL1 will be ambiguous. Better, amalgamate all the sources in a single footnote:
Among photographers, Haskell has said he has been influenced by [[Irving
Penn]], Richard Avedon, Edward Steichen and [[Henri
Cartier-Bresson]].Penn and Avedon [URL1 title1]; Steichen
[URL2 title2]; Cartier-Bresson [URL3 title3].
Somewhere near the foot of the article, add:
==Notes==

which will dump the footnotes.
As a general point, I don't think we need a list of every exhibition. If the man wants to post such a list on his own website, fine; but here it looks like a CV. -- Hoary 06:30, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Either that, or stop putting photographers in it. People pioneer fundamental processes and methodolgies. Some of them might happen to be photographers, of course.. but then they usually take the form of technique, which isn't the same thing. Like artists and architects, photographers might be influential, the very best perhaps innovative, but they're none of them the first to make pictures or build houses. mikaultalk 00:09, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing Sam Haskins from list of 'Pioneers of photography' 

message: Hi,The most recent example of which is a fashion shoot for New York magazine's 75th anniversary issueshot in New York's Pier 57 studios in August 2006.[2] - even after reading the pages linked, I do not understand what kind of an anniversary the photos were a part of. NY magazine gets published since the 60s, so it doesn't add up. --NoCultureIcons (talk) 07:16, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
