Talk:House of Worth

This article contains zero references as of July 2012. Mariepr (talk) 23:54, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

The sections involving the revived House of Worth are written in a promotional tone as if taken directly from press releases. The article also lacks inline citations and secondary sources. The page contributors appear to include unregistered users making it difficult to identify an editor who might clean up the article to Wikipedia standards.

Revived House of Worth References

The overly promptional tone of the 2010-2011 sections has been toned down and references added. I've avoided citing any material by the website www.rmgandco.com because this organization is the official promotional office for the company. NightSt✷r talk 00:15, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Welcome New Editors

The House of Worth article is substantially expanded and re-written. Earlier versions, while made in good faith, had no inline citations, no verification of the statements made, and had an overly promotional tone as if taken directly from press releases. You can help improve the quality of this article by expanding it with verifiable (WP:SOURCES) information written from a neutral point of view. (See WP:POV and WP:PROMO for guidance.)

Reverted

The recent revisions of this article were identified as containing copyrighted material by another editor. This article was therefore reverted to 26 January, 2012 prior to this editor's involvement. NightSt✷r (talk) 02:10, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Extensive and virtually foundational copyvio

I have blanked this article for a copyright investigation. Much blatant copy paste has been added in the last two years, all from Worth press releases and their website:

• http://www.worthparis.com/lesparfumsworth.asp
• http://www.worthparis.com/jereviens.asp
• http://www.rmgandco.com/cms/editorials-and-press-releases/202-worth-press-day-at-gripoix/item
• http://www.worthparis.com/thedesigner.asp
• http://www.rmgandco.com/cms/editorials-and-press-releases/213-worth-couture-winter-2011-2012/item
• http://www.rmgandco.com/cms/latest-news/charles-frederick-worth/tag/itemlist

Unfortunately, the only clean version this can be reverted to is probably this one-line stub. After that copyvio appears to have been successively added from other sources apart from Worth until they were over-ridden by the onslaught of Worth press releases.

Re-Write Created

A re-write of the entire article has been created. It does include as source material the reference from the Metropolitan Museum of Art (but one source previously tagged as copied) but the Met material has been re-written and checked for close phrasing. NightSt✷r (talk) 13:12, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

The rewrite is at Talk:House of Worth/Temp. It seems OK. It may take a while for it to moved into the article, as this requires an admin, but I've left a note at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2012 October 10. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 14:34, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Suggested External link

Hello fellow Wikipedians, I would like to add an external link to the Worth sketch collection, 1918 of archival materials held by The Met. Please take a moment to review my suggestion and let me know if you have any objections or changes.

• IN EXTERNAL LINKS: Worth sketch collection, 1918 from The Irene Lewisohn Costume Reference Library, The Costume Institute, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

COMMENT: The Worth Sketch collection contains fashion designs by House of Worth with images originally removed from an album along with board mounted images on paper embossed with “House of Worth/ Paris London.” --Mkessler.nyc (talk) 20:15, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
