February 2015 edit
Before re-inserting any further puff pieces and/or promotional kitsch please discuss here first and develop consensus for your idea:[1]...Modernist (talk) 11:38, 26 February 2015
- Please stop your edit warring with which you are making pejorative and degrading comments about a living artist in this visual arts. Please stop your personal attacks and false associations concerning my account. OilandTempura (talk) 13:30, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Modernist is doing no such thing. You do not seem to understand WP:BLP and Modernist is not making pejorative or degrading comments. He is commenting on the link you used, which by the way is not a reliable source. There has not been one personal attack against you. You need to read WP:BRD. Two editors disagree with your edits and you have been asked to discuss the issue on the article talk page. Instead you have engaged in an edit war. Please do not add the contentious material and discuss it on the talk page. That is how Wikipedia works. It is not your personal website. freshacconci talk to me 01:55, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- I've also commented at Modernist's page; I'd revert the edit if I'd seen it, as well. JNW (talk) 02:04, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- No, that is incorrect. Annie Liebowitz is an established artist with her own Wikipage. She is entitled to express her own viewpoint and interpretation of Kline and other artists of abstract expressionism in her own medium. The references to her as a "spam" artist are pejorative and degrading to her as an established artist. As they degrade her as a living artist they are against Wikipedia policy for WP:BLP and should be curtailed. OilandTempura (talk) 13:30, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi OilandTempura, I'm curious as to why you removed all the content to this article that was sourced to Joan Templeton's book. None of this appeared to be redundant, as you commented, and your only edits were to cut the content attributed to this author. Is her scholarship unreliable? I've restored the content, and requested discussion on the article's talk page. Thanks, JNW (talk) 14:11, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- The material appeared redundant and not a useful supplement to the Ferguson material cited. You appear to be defending your poor editing for Abs. Expressionism which I have reviewed and answered on that Talk page. OilandTempura (talk) 16:51, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- No, this isn't related to the Abstract Expressionists editing--I haven't worked on that page, merely commented. But your explanations at the Altenburg page were in part misleading, as the edits weren't confined to the lead, and Templeton's observations do offer elaboration on the subject's life and character.

- No, the material is not a useful supplement to the Ferguson material. You appear to be defending your poor commentary on Abs. Expression of another editor deriding a well-established artist by calling her a "spam" artist. OilandTempura (talk) 17:06, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
