Talk:Morley Baer

Thank you for the comments on the article on Morley Baer. They are: 1. This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience. (August 2018) 2. This article contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information.(August 2018) 3. This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (August 2018)

Response: 1. True, but its readers will likely be art photographers or artists for whom some detail is necessary. I tried to balance detail with cogent commentary. 2. Baer was an accomplished photographer, writer, and teacher. It was impossible to adequately write about him and his accomplishments without being subjective. However, one standard for such subjectiveness would be the text in Baer (2008}. I believe that my article falls far short of that - both in eloquence and subjectiveness. 3. That's possible. It's difficult to strike a balance between Wikipedia's requirement that the subject be person of note, while still written from a Neutral point of view. I tried to quote enough information to establish that Baer is indeed a person of note per Notability (people) while maintaining as much of an encyclopedic tone Writing better articles as I could for the cohesiveness of the article.

I'd be happy to receive your commentary on this submission.

Thank you

In a more recent visit to the Morley Baer article, I tightened the text here and there, corrected a few spellings, made better use of references to remove any subjectivity I could find, and inserted a new reference, all to improve its encyclopedic value.
