Talk:Alfred Stieglitz

message: First sentence of "Early Years" section makes no sense at present -- looks like copy was dropped. I can't tell how to fix.

replies: text: I believe the description comes from Ansel Adam's autobiography, however it is not quite as I recall Adams putting it: Stieglitz asked Adams to attend that day, it seemed to me he wanted Adams to bear witness to an act of largesse, which made the whole thing seem phoney to me.

text: It means that not all photographs have artistic merit and are worthy of being published in a journal.

I agree. This article has serious tone and bias problems. E.g., the paragraph ending with "The look in the man's eyes could have been an eternal testament to the kindness that was Alfred Stieglitz." This is embarrassing. It adds nothing to an encyclopedia biography to include some unknown person's unproven judgments about the subject's inner character and worth as a human being. This is the sort of thing that gives Wikipedia a bad name.
Wikipedia is not an obituary or eulogy. Stieglitz may have been second to none as a person, but if it can't be presented in a neutral way, it shouldn't be in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwucd (talk • contribs) 06:47, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree, I think the article needs a total rewrite, the whole thing reads very oddly. For instance, the remark that Stieglitz had an infatuation with younger women - yet there is no corroborating information, not even the age of the wife mentioned in the same sentence.

message: As I believe the portion of his work published in the United States before 1923 is PD-US copyright status, perhaps an exaple or two of his better early work might be good to add to the article? -- Infrogmation 20:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The photo of Duchamp's Fountain doesn't seem at all representative of Stieglitz's art. >>sparkit|TALK<< 21:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree this photo is not representative.  Since I discovered that a copy of The Steerage and an O'Keefe portrait were available to us, I made the change. The Fountain could also be added back if anyone feels strongly about it.  I removed it because I think the page would look too crowded.  SteveHopson 21:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Seems a good choice to me. See also my note above. -- Infrogmation 23:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Article says "He was influenced in part by painter Charles Sheeler and photographic newcomer Paul Strand, both of whom he met in 1915." But in fact Strand had been showing Stieglitz his work for several years by then: 1915 is when Stieglitz was sufficiently impressed to give him an exhibition. I don't know when they first met though, but it could have been as early as 1906 which is when Strand first visited a photo seccessionist exhibition there. Samatarou (talk) 00:49, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for noticing this inaccuracy. I've changed the entry to correct this point. Lexaxis7 (talk) 17:12, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

message: In my opinion, this entire article is about 500% too long... yet it's also lacking in relevant detail. I hope someone with expertise in Stieglitz and editorial skill can rewrite it. Thanks in advance! Tina Kimmel (talk) 07:48, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: 500% too long, huh? So it would have to become negative space in order to be better? I would be interested in learning about what you think is relevant detail - please provide some examples. Like all Wikipedia articles, it's now been edited by many people, so the editorial skills will always vary. But actually, I consulted with two Stieglitz scholars when I wrote the core of the current article. Lexaxis7 (talk) 03:15, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

message: There was a LOT of uncited content - much of what looked to be original research. Per , uncited content may be challenged and removed. (Side note: in my opinion, it seems the cleanest way to deal with this much uncited content. A maintenance tag may sit on an article for years... and in the meantime information that may not be correct or may be opinion remains in the article.)
If someone wants to work on finding sources for the uncited content here, that would be lovely. I would do it, but there's way too much.–CaroleHenson (talk) 15:21, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
