Suh Yongsun

[edit]

thank you. I do have a question: how can the Suh Yongsun article be improved so that the box on top can be removed? i already did some changes with new quotes but i did't want to remove the box myself...

Some information that appears lacking in the article include facts like how long the artist has been practicing, when and where his work was first exhibited and, his most famous piece, and at what school or under whom he studied. But only include these things if you can find references.
I find writing intros to be the hardest part of the job. But what I try to do is, first write a good solid article and then go back and compose an intro as a short summery of the work.
You can take care of both the complaints about "improving references" and "writing as a fan" by finding more sources. The culture at Wikipedia is really into verifiability. One sentence that should probably be removed is "Suh Yongsun is considered one of Korea's most important contemporary artists." If he actually is broadly considered a national treasurer than you would have to prove it with an abundance of sources.
Hope my advice helps. Awg1010 (talk) 20:57, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! I'm marking your question as having received help. If you are still having trouble, please replace the {{helpme-helped}} with {{help me}} and someone will be along shortly. ~ Matthewrbowker Say hi! 22:33, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

THANK YOU for your help. now how can the box be removed???? Please...Seoulmate1 (talk) 13:41, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The template at the top that reads {{multiple issues|fansite=March 2011|lead too short=March 2011|refimproveBLP=March 2011}} can simply be removed and the box will go away. However, if you give me a few minutes, I can further improve the article. The way it stands right now, there is still a chance another editor will replace the box. Also, just for future reference, it's best to only have one active {{helpme}} at a time on your user talk page. GorillaWarfare talkcontribs 15:24, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've cleaned up the article (see my changes) and have removed the cleanup templates. GorillaWarfare talkcontribs 16:09, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
