a problematic source edit

I have a problem with the Note: Clottes, Jean (2002). "Paleolithic Art in France". Bradshaw Foundation... First of all: I saved this article already in Mai 2006 to my PC - today I had a new look in this article on the website. But in the meantime they changed the article content. This is not a very reliable source if they write around in an article and change it. The second thing is: I tried hard to find this ominous "Adorant Magazine" - there is not one Spot in the internet where to find informations about this paper. - very ominous. An article by Jean Clottes is surely a reliable source but... this is only a website of a more or less obscure Organisation, which changes article-contents. I found another transcript of this article (source also the Bradshaw Foundation) via the Auburn School District (see here), but this text is also different from the actual web-content as well as from my version of 2006. What I don't find is the original article, or anyhow this Magazine -- Hartmann Schedel ^cheers 17:20, 7 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Poorly Signposted edit

Not sure how best to fix this. The lead paragraph prominently and emphatically mentions the dispute over the authenticity of the cave art ("many doubt"), but only one paragraph substantiates this controversy, and it is buried under "At the time of discovery".

I am not an expert but it appears to me either "many doubt" should be softened, or the debate over authenticity articulated more clearly in the "Controversy" section. deptstoremook (talk) 03:13, 21 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
