message: This is just a note to explain why the "Masters of Photography" link was removed. Although it contains some contents related to Cindy Sherman, it also contains a great deal of pop ups and advertisements. So it is questionable whether the content advances the information in this wiki article or is it simply an adspace website wrapped in real information. --Muserna Muserna 18:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Several of the items in the Popular Culture section are actually works that the artist participated in. From what I understand, popular culture usually refers to pop-culture references like "Cindy Sherman is the subject of the song Cindy Sherman". But the Marc Jacobs ads are works of Cindy Sherman, and also the album cover art. Hearing no objections, I will move these at some point.

message: We're told that:
:Through a number of different series of works, Sherman has raised challenging and important questions about the role and representation of women in society, the media and the nature of the creation of art.
What are these "challenging and important questions"? -- Hoary (talk) 01:04, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  youngest 

message: This is a bizarre and sloppily written article that falls far below the standard one might attach to the entry for such an important figure in contemporary Western art. At least one of the people cited is virtually unknown, and banal details of Sherman's loft living are included for no reason. I began to copy edit the article and gave up as the article itself struck me as poor. I hope someone comes along and polishes it up as deserved.Actio (talk) 03:15, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Cindy Sherman's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "art21":

:I suggest removing the private galleries as they are less notable, such as Gagosian and Sprueth Magers.
::Thanks for this, , nice of you! I'll admit that it was mostly because of those private gallery shows that I reverted the edits (I feel I've spent half my life removing COI gallery spam). A couple of things: (+) prose is surely preferable to a bald list in the general way of things; but (-) the existing prose is neither very good nor remotely neutral. In my view, the ideal move would be to write new and better text, incorporating any useful material from the existing version, and also any substantial institutional exhibitions from the list above that are missing from the page as it stands.

replies: text:  I apologize for prematurely editing this section. I agree with working on this section via the talk page, and to exclude less notable galleries. I will work on refine this section as I believe having a list format in and Exhibitions section best represents the information presented. I'll communicate my thoughts throughtout process and would love your input. --MarPatton (talk) 02:12, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

message: Sherman is generally conisdered, and considers herself, to be an artist using the medium of photography. I have amended the lead and infobox accordingly. I might try to improve the lead further but don't have time right now. ProfDEH (talk) 08:38, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
