Talk:Waldo Peirce

message: I wanted to toss out a couple of suggestions for this article.  I didn't want to jump right in, given my lack of knowledge vis-a-vis other editors of this article.
* Since Mr Peirce is notable as a painter, more information on his artwork could be added to the article.  There is a nice copy of a painting and a copy of a very appropriate Time cover, but not much else.  How many paintings did he paint?  ("thousands")  How did his output change, qualitively and quantitively, over his life?  What are considered his most notable paintings and where might they be seen?
* This article is a bit on the breezy side, featuring the word "lusty" twice and ending one paragraph with "Some of this may actually be true....".  Certainly encyclopedia articles don't need to be dry but . . . 
* It would be nice to have more biographical data (that is, in addition to the anecdotes).  Maybe wives' names?  (there's one)  Where is he buried??  Did he always live in Maine, except for his sojourn in Paris??
Thanks for listening.  Madman 21:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Time Hemingway Cover by Waldo Peirce.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: Much of the article was written by User:Hayford Peirce ie. Hayford Peirce who is Waldo Peirce's nephew. No question Waldo Peirce is notable, but much of it is unsourced that reads like colorful original research by family member(s).  -- GreenC 02:47, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
