Francis Bicknell Carpenter

Hi Rowlz, thanks for your continued edits to Francis Bicknell Carpenter, I edited a lot of what you added since it was either already mentioned earlier in the article or wasn't written in a neutral point of view, but I tried to retain the main points you added. I hope my edits didn't introduce inaccuracies.

Regarding the section regarding the value of his paintings and their appeal for collectors, you still didn't provide a source for your claims aside from mentioning the New York Times, which isn't enough information to be verifiable. Rather than outright removing it, I just added a citation needed tag, but if you have a link to a NYT article that verifies the claim, you can go ahead and add it to the article using either the Visual Editor or by following the instructions over at WP:CITE

Yes I see you edited it to be shorter and more precise. Thank you. The New York times quote was from an article that I found on Google. It was a small quotes from a long article which most was already mentioned in Wikipedia so it doesn't really matter that you took it out. Best regards, Mark Rowlz (talk) 18:10, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

with regards to the value of Carpenters art. I need to check with the auction appraisers before I add there names. Rowlz (talk) 18:18, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Sounds good, just make sure that the source you find on that comes from a reliable and verifiable source. Doesn't neccessarily need to be a webpage(Carpenter's article cites plenty of books including his memoir that you described), but it does need to be something that a reader could verify the validity of for themselves. See my above link to Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. Best of luck! LaffyTaffer (talk) 18:39, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
