Cleaning up the article.

edit

This article was really quite a mess. I rewrote the the article to remove the redlinking, the referring to the author by his first name, and more. I also removed these two paragraphs:

Paluska participated in various street art projects as well including the Madrid[1] and Toronto[2] street advertising takeovers arranged by the artist group public ad campaign. Other works include the Holy Toaster,[3] The fotron2000[4] and Recycle Robot.[5]
Dan believes in releasing all his work into the public domain.[6] Dan is the younger brother of Thomas Paluska, MD, esteemed Emergency Medicine Physician, who is thought to be credited with taking the first ever digital camera selfie and sharing on social media platforms. Thomas has also claimed to have coined the phrase “first world problems”, but he is wrong, probably.

I can't find any evidence that any of the things in the first paragraph are notable and the reference also seem like primary sources or worse. The second paragraph is just embarrassing. I had some concerns about notability but I did some digging and found enough references that I think the subject very likely satisfies the WP:GNG. More work to improve the article would be helpful. —mako 07:01, 25 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
