Talk:Joseph Chila

COI

The creator of this article has a conflict of interest. However, I hope, and am fairly confident, that we can get a good article out of this. -- Hoary (talk) 09:07, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, Dz3. -- Hoary (talk) 09:40, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Dz3, if you undertake not to edit the article further (other than to revert vandalism), I'll remove the "conflict of interest" template from the article. Hoary (talk) 02:07, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Happy to give the undertaking Hoary,Dz3 (talk) 18:43, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

OK: done. -- Hoary (talk) 06:41, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

His name

Dz3 (or anyone), I've seen him referred to as either Joseph Chila or Chila Joseph. Are both acceptable? -- Hoary (talk) 23:46, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Hoary Yes both acceptable. Anglo vs frank conventions in a bilingual country Dz3 (talk) 18:44, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Ah, OK. Thank you! -- Hoary (talk) 06:41, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

NPG exhibition(s)

The description here of the exhibitions, plural, makes the NPG exhibition sound very different from NPG's "display at the Gallery" described here. Did the NPG perhaps have two simultaneous exhibitions, one of work from Cameroon, the other of work from London? -- Hoary (talk) 23:46, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

PS our article does point out that the NPG exhibition had different curators; but the formatting (by me, and perhaps very mistaken) does suggest that it was similar to those in Cameroon (perhaps that the selections differed but overlapped). -- Hoary (talk) 00:52, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Hoary Good point: the NPG show had two components: part archival - same as the Cameroon show, part new work done during the residency. But it was just the one show Dz3 (talk) 18:46, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Got it. Thank you. -- Hoary (talk) 06:41, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

New Photo Publication

One of his photos has been published in Vogue Nov 2020 illustrating an article called "Family Values/ An Ode to Aunties and Their Inimitable Sense of Style" https://www.vogue.com/article/ode-to-auntie-style Could someone add this to the page since I shouldn’t Dz3 (talk) 18:22, 3 December 2020 (UTC) @Hoary:

If this were, say, a photograph in the Guardian series "The Big Picture", then a note about it would go straight into the article. But it's nothing like that. I realize that Vogue is prestigious among fashion magazines, but this is just one photograph among many within one article, where unsurprisingly it goes undiscussed. A Wikipedia article about somebody isn't obliged to say everything that could be said about him; I'm not going to add this. -- Hoary (talk) 23:00, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
