Talk:Victorious Youth

message: I just uploaded a larger photo (taken last year) but it's all new to me. I couldn't figure out how to make it fit the page! Sorry. Canon 5D with 24-70 mm f 2.8 Canon zoom @ ISO 1,000. Oh wait a minute I guess it formatted itself.. Wtin 06:23, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have no connection to the Getty or Marion True nor do I have any wish to advocate for them, but I don't see how the text beginning with “The Getty Museum is involved in a controversy …" down to "True is currently under investigation by Greek authorities over the acquisition of a 2,500-year-old funerary wreath.” belongs in the entry on this sculpture. 
There are Wiki entries on the Getty Museum, the Getty Foundation, and Marion True where this text more properly belongs. No question that the Getty Museum and foundation have bought from shady dealers and been unethical, but this should be covered in their entries. True's Wiki entry covers her questionable dealings and should include the business about the Greek wreath, if it can be sourced. I find it odd and there is no reference for such a claim. If verified, it should be added to True's Wiki entry with a reference. I'm looking into it and will delete it if I can't track down verification.
In sum, the digression into material not related to the sculpture, and not related to the legal case surrounding the sculpture, seems gratuitous and out of place. 
I recommend that the material cited above be deleted from this entry and added to more appropriate  entries. 
Comments welcomed!

replies: text: Totally agreed. If there is a controversy section for relevant Getty Museum articles, it should be moved there and maybe link to this article's Provenance section. I'd delete it right now but it's good copy on the topic, albeit irrelevant here.  Fuser55 (talk) 19:29, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, User:Fuser55. I appreciate your speedy comment. I also noticed that the line about her being "currently under investigation by Greek authorities over the acquisition of a 2,500-year-old funerary wreath" is not true, or no longer true, as the case was resolved, as explained in the Marion True Wiki entry. I'll see what I can do to bring more robust sourcing and updated material. Tx Sam Perkins (talk) 23:20, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
