(moved here from my talk page) I did revert a bit on the films - if we removed everything where a link died then most of Wikipedia would have to go, links die every day. One has to AGF that when the data was added then it was correct (of course if it was very controversial or negative then maybe a different approach would be needed - by consensus of course). Wikipedia:Link rot says quite clearly - Do not delete cited information solely because the URL to the source does not work any longer. WP:Verifiability does not require that all information be supported by a working link, nor does it require the source to be published online. Ronhjones (Talk) 00:45, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Given the long history of WP:COI editing in this article, and the possibility that recent edits are a continuation thereof, I have started a new discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Sarah Morris. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:48, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. Implemented updates for Work and Controversy section, slightly reworded in a couple of places to fit the content from the source. Films weren't added, are you able to find better sources? I provided a link with search results. |
Hello, I know that in the past there have been numerous problems with this page (COI, NPOV, Sock Puppeting, etc.) and I would like to request help from the editing community in making an informative, accurate, and neutral article. In full disclosure, I am a representative of Sarah Morris, which is why I need your help to make a solid article! I am listing a number of changes below, and I look forward to having a dialogue with the Wiki community about ways to improve this entry. Thank you in advance and if you see any problems with the proposed changes, please let me know!
Morris creates both films and paintings. She sees the two media as interconnected, describing film and painting practices as “two sides of the same coin”. Her films and paintings reference one another visually and thematically, and are created simultaneously.[1]
References
Morris is known for her abstract paintings that feature bright color fields and graphic line work. Her paintings often reference elements of architecture and take titles from bureaucratic institutions.[1]
Morris makes films that focus on particular cities or individuals. Films like Midtown, Chicago, and Rio depict urban scenes, focusing on the architecture, politics, industry and leisure.[1] Other films describe a place through the viewpoint of an individual, like psychologist Dr. George Sieber describing the terrorist event at the Olympic Stadium in Munich in the film 1972.[2]

Her films include:[1]

In 2011 Morris was sued by a group of six origami artists, including Robert J. Lang. They alleged that in 24 works in her "Origami" series of paintings Morris had copied their original crease patterns, colored them, and sold them without permission. Morris acknowledged that she used the crease patterns as a "launch pad" for her paintings, but felt that the changes in scale, context and meaning was great enough to constitute fair use.[1] The case was settled out of court early in 2013; under the settlement, the creators of the crease patterns are to be cited when the works are displayed.[2]

I would like to request that an edit to the controversy section made on April 20th 2015 by Justlettersandnumbers be reverted to its previous state. The removed text was:
The edit causes a problem with WP:NPOV because it gives voice to the people making the allegations in the lawsuit, but does not give voice to the defensive argument. The case never went to trial, and therefore there was never a judicial ruling that would give credibility to the allegations. Therefore to maintain neutrality, both sides of the argument should be represented in the article.
Justlettersandnumbers, I see that this aspect of this article is important to you, and I'd be happy to work with you to make improvements and hash out any perceived biases. Let me know your concerns and I will do my best to address them.

I would like to propose a couple of small edits:
Under the heading Personal Life and Education, I think that someone should add the word artist before Liam Gillick so that it reads:
That way readers can ascertain the notability of Liam Gillick without having to click through the link.
Also, I would propose that under the heading Exhibitions, the Tulsa Convention center be dropped and replaced with The Lever House in New York City because it is more noteworthy, there's a picture of the installation already in the article, and the article doesn't need to be clogged up with a laundry list of installations. Text would read:
Finally, as far as Sarah Morris' nationality, both Grove Art Online and Benezit Dictionary of Artists list her as American, although they do say that she is was born and is active in the UK, so I think that either American or British-American would be more accurate than British for her nationality.[8][9]
The Oxford Art Online is a subscription service, but you can access it for free through the NYC Public Library Website.
Thank You!

Hello!
Just wanted to make some suggestions for additional content and request a change of quote to a better one that adds clarity and context.
Under Exhibitions, there can be the addition of a solo museum show at M - Museum Leuven in Leuven, Belgium.[1]
Also, two new books to be added to the Publications section:

Finally, the quote by Julie Aherns, "Julie A. Ahrens, ...'struggled to pin down the aesthetic value of the CPs' (crease patterns) from a copyright and fair use perspective.[11]" is vague and somewhat unclear. Here is some revised text with another quote from her that speaks more to the topic:
This quote speaks more to the broader issues of fair use and adds context to the issues at play with Morris v. Lang. It also links to other similar cases, allowing people who want to dive deeper into the topic to do so.
Thanks again for all the help!

Hey Justlettersandnumbers , I changed the content back to my version because I think it is an improvement in a number of ways. First, it's a lot more readable (no more choppy sentences), info has been consolidated and better sourced, the broken references have been cleaned up, and there's some additional content that would be valuable to people in the real world (Public Collections).
I'm sorry that you don't think that those changes make the article any better, but instead of reverting the whole thing why don't you explain how you think it could be done better and make individual edits. Edit warring isn't going to improve the entry, so let's keep an open, respectful dialog about any changes. Sound good?

Hi, I am a graduate student in art history and this is the first page that I have edited on Wikipedia, so bare with me as I do not know all of the ins and outs of Wiki protocol! Over the past few months I have attempted to update and expand the page for Sarah Morris, as I believe many of the stats on it are out of date, and the description of her background and artwork needs expansion. After a few initial bumps in the road re: sourcing, I eventually got a handle on the protocol for proper citations in Wikipedia. Since then, I have provided edits to the page that I believe offer a more vivid understanding of the artist, and most importantly, make the page more accurate. I carefully considered the sources that I used to ensure that they were reputable, and I only included information that could be directly cited. In some cases, my edits were purely to update lists that were incomplete, such as the list of the artist's films, her exhibition history, and institutions that hold her work in their permanent collections. With these edits in particular, I think it is irrefutable that they are anything but objective, factual updates. I also attempted to provide more detail pertaining to the artist's style of work, and her background as an artist.
To my great disappointment, the entirety of my edits were deleted by Justlettersandnumbers. This user made a baseless claim that I had a conflict of interest with the subject of the page, which I have reiterated is not true. I find this confounding and frustrating, particularly in that my intention with these edits was to make the page more accurate, rather than boost the reputation or legacy of the artist. In their blanket deletion of all of my edits, I feel that Justlettersandnumbers has blocked content that I believe improves the article's veracity. Their treatment of my edits and their demeanor towards me feels counterproductive and not in the spirit of Wikipedia's mission. I would really appreciate someone's help with this matter, as my intention is only to enhance this page with no ulterior motive. I have spent a lot of time researching Sarah Morris in my graduate program, and I used the sources and knowledge that I accumulated in that process towards the realization of my edits to this page. Perhaps I am still not fully aware of the intricacies of Wikipedia's policies and so I at least ask for engagement and feedback that is useful and productive.
