Talk:Kiko Argüello

message: On 14:47, 24 February 2007, the following was posted on the end of the article: "It is proved that he is a homosexual due to his cooperation with Carmen Hernandez."
If it is actually proven that Kiko Argüellois is in fact homosexual then said 'proof' must be linked and properly referenced on the page. Otherwise the above statement is bias and does not follow Wikipedia's NPOV rule, and was removed for said reason. Also because of the fact that Ms Carmen Hernandez is in fact, a women, making the statement impossible.
See: []
for my opinion if you wish.
*I would also like to propose a more detailed article, that is, one fulfilling the description of a complete biography of Kiko Argüello. If anyone has any said biographical information I'm sure it's posting in the article would be appreciated.

message: I added two referenced data, as published by EL MUNDO (one of the two most important Spanish newspapers), reporting two objective facts that gave rise to some controversy.
The paragraph I added was as follows (it just added some text to a preexisting paragraph):
Just before to the royal wedding of the Crown Prince Felipe of Spain, Kiko was commissioned to paint the interior of the Almudena Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Madrid, in time for the said wedding, in 2004. This work has turned out to be controversial, since it had been previously assigned by an open international call to the artist Manuel Ortega in January, 1988 http://www.elmundo.es/papel/2004/05/06/espana/1632930.html "The 'misterious' disappearance of the original stained glass windows". Article in EL MUNDO, Spanish Newspaper., and also due to the fact that the icons reproduced in the Catedral de la Almudena by Argüello were found to be an exact copy of those exhibited in a church located in Arroyo Hondo, near Santo Domingohttp://www.elmundo.es/especiales/2004/04/espana/bodareal/noticia_plagio.html "Kiko Argüello copied the stained glass windows". Article in EL MUNDO, Spanish Newspaper..
Even though every single sentence in this paragraph is referenced, it was erased by other editor.
The information I added is also part of the work performed by Kiko Argüello in the "Catedral de la Almudena". To erase it, is to give a partial view! Controversy is something which many artists find at some point of their careers. Avoiding to mention it, is just a way to give a partial view of their work.
Anybody could look after this article and check that the changes I claim for are absolutely fair?
Thank you!
The data mentioned in the paragraph are attached below.
:But what your claiming makes no sense. Kiko Arguello is the artist of the original icons which were then reproduced by him in Madrid, in DR by another artist and in many other places. So yes he did in fact copy the icons, but from himself, not another artist, thus making the claim null. Ncwfl (talk) 22:00, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

message: "He studied fine arts under Pablo Picasso at the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid" Yes, of course. Picasso in Spain after the Spanish civil war ¬¬' Maybe he studied under Goya too.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.155.247.161 (talk) 09:53, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picasso? lol 

message: This article needs more reliable sources for the information put forth. For example, the only sources of info for this man's life is an interview he gave. The website is reliable, but we need more independent sources to back up (or debunk) any claims about the guy's life.
