Talk:Marie Weaver

message: The article now tells us:
Marie Weaver is an American artist who specialized in Book arts, Printmaking, Painting and Graphic arts. Weaver holds a B. A. from University of Vermont and a Masters in Fine Art from Syracuse.
Weaver lives and works in Atlanta Georgia. Her career began as an apprentice to renown Vermont printmaker Sabra Field and gradually moved more and more toward fine art which is what she currently does.
* UPsouth traveled to several venues across Birmingham, including Space One Eleven, Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Visual Arts Gallery, and Agnes (gallery).Press release It showed the work of artists Emma Amos and Willie Cole and writer bell hooks, as well as Ann Benton, Priscilla Hancock Cooper, Karen Graffeo, Lee Isaacs, Mary Ann Sampson, J. M. Walker and Marie Weaver.Weaver lists this in her résumé..
and so on and so on. Some problems in that:
*The article starts by seeming to imply that Weaver is dead. We infer from the end of the same paragraph that she's still alive.
*This is the 21st century and not the 18th, and English rather than German, so "painting", etc., don't need initial capitalization.
*A printmaker can be renowned but hardly "renown". If Field is renowned, it's a little odd that she lacks a WP article.
*It's odd to say that a person "does" fine art. Verb aside, what's the art? (Painting? Sculpting? Something else?)
*I seem to have read about "UPsouth" in a number of WP articles. This almost looks like a kind of internal link farm: If every artist who contributed to it gets a mention of it, and if this in turn has a list of contributors, then they're all linked more numerously. Suggestion: if "UPsouth" was all that notable, make an article about it and just link to that.
*Weaver's own résumé isn't an independent source. If this exhibition was notable, surely it's written up in some more convincing way.
And that's just the start of the article. -- Hoary 03:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

The last of these does not appeal to be a book at all. Is it a book?
Are the others books? If they are, let's have them in a standard format.
Precisely how does Weaver's works appear in each of these books? How is the appearance related to this article? (An article does not benefit from indiscriminate listing of mere mentions in or very minor contributions to books.) -- Hoary 02:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
