George S. Zimbel

  • ALT1:... that documentary photographer George S. Zimbel (born in 1926) is one of the the last surviving members of the Photo League? Source: "Zimbel is one of the last still-with-us, still-active photographers whose creative philosophy was directly influenced through participation in the Photo League program." - B&W Magaxine
  • ALT2:... that documentary photographer George S. Zimbel (born in 1926) is one of the the last surviving photographers to be directly influenced by the Photo League? Source: "Zimbel is one of the last still-with-us, still-active photographers whose creative philosophy was directly influenced through participation in the Photo League program." - B&W Magaxine

Created by Verne Equinox (talk). Self-nominated at 22:54, 1 November 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg The article is new and long enough, and there are no obvious copyvios. The problem with the hook is - how did Zimbel sell (or rather, fail to sell) the photographs, as the article states, when the source said he didn't develop them until 20 years later? For ALT1, I read the source more as saying he was one of the last surviving photographers influenced by the Photo League. I prefer the main hook, so that would be the one to focus on checking. Also, a QPQ is required. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:10, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
  • To answer the first question. The quoted source is inaccurate in that he 'developed' the film after he took the photos, but he never printed any pictures to sell. It was not until more than 20 years later that he went back to the negatives and made prints. He then started to show and sell them. Others photographers who were at the event sold them immediately afterwards, notably I believe, one Matty Zimmerman. Second question: see Alt2.

Symbol confirmed.svg Okay, that's the QPQ done and the original hook explained, so let's go with that. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:12, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol possible vote.svg Template:Ping I came to promote this but did not like the word "print" in the original hook. The source says "develop" which I see you have been discussing above, but "print" is a bit too specific for my liking. What about "publish" as a substitute? The hook is also a bit clunky and could do with being rephrased. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:03, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
Template:Ping I think publish is fine. I am ok with the rewrite.Verne Equinox (talk) 21:40, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Symbol question.svgALT3 has been verified from this source, and is 116 characters long with spaces. The article is new enough, long enough, and mostly within policy. Several sentences in the article are not cited including, but not limited to: "...distributed by the National Film Board of Canada.", "...where they still reside.".--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 14:21, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
2 changes made to page. Thank you for the review. Verne Equinox (talk) 22:21, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
Template:Ping thanks for the additional references. Please provide another for the dual citizenship statement.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:44, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Template:Ping I spoke with Mr Zimbel in Montreal on the phone and he told me he had dual citizenship. Does "personal communication" count in Wikipedia? The only on-line reference is of his wife who notes in a blog that she has dual citizenship.Verne Equinox (talk) 19:34, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Template:Ping Please see WP:BLPPRIMARY & WP:BLPSPS. Better to not include it, if it cannot be verified to a secondary or tertiary source.
Also what is the relationship between the primary editor and the subject of the article? Is there a conflict of interest?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:28, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
