Tom Hallifax

Created by Llwygy (talk) and moved to mainspace by The Herald (talk) (From AFC). Nominated by The Herald (talk) at 14:03, 24 January 2015 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg New enough, long enough, adequately referenced. The page creator is using bald URLs inside the text, which should be discouraged; the cites should go at the end of the sentence in regular reference formatting style. In general, the formatting of the references is rather sketchy; I attempted to add URLs, but the page creator needs to add the titles of articles to several cites. I found some close paraphrasing in an online source, which should be rewritten in the author's own words:
  • Source: In 1994 he went to L.A and Hong Kong accompanying Prince Charles and stayed on in Hong Kong to complete a previously commissioned portrait of Chris and Lavender Patten. He has since painted a portrait of Derek Hill for the Prince, and the garden at Highgrove for the Prince's Trust.
  • Article: In 1994 Hallifax accompanied The Prince of Wales as Royal Tour Artist on a visit to L.A. and Hong Kong, staying on in Hong Kong to complete a previously commissioned portrait of Chris and Lavender Patten. He was subsequently commissioned by the Prince to paint the artist Derek Hill and the garden at Highgrove for the Prince's Trust.
  • This makes me wonder whether the language in other sections, such as Style, has also been copied from the (offline) sources?
  • Since the nominator has more than 5 DYK credits, a QPQ should be submitted. Yoninah (talk) 17:18, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
  • I also have a question on the image being used in the article. It is a photograph of a work of art that has apparently been taken and uploaded by the artist. Does this violate Wikipedia policy? I remember a recent copyright issue with photographs of a sculpture. Yoninah (talk) 17:29, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the review. My QPQ is Template:Did you know nominations/Westerhout 40 and the article's parts are now rewritten. With the picture, I am not sure about the policies as the account looks to be of Tom Hallifax(?). Ṫ Ḧ the joy of the LORDmy strength 13:49, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanks for fixing up the close paraphrasing. The reference formatting still needs cleanup; perhaps you could contact the page creator? I'm really not sure if there are copyright issues with the image; perhaps another editor could weigh in? Yoninah (talk) 20:39, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
  • This nomination had a credit template for The Herald for writing the article, and none at all for Llwygy. I have changed it so that both get credit for writing the article. However, if The Herald's role was more just nominating it, please change the relevant ({{DYKmake}}) to ({{DYKnom}}). MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 20:48, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
Fixed it..Ṫ Ḧ the joy of the LORDmy strength 06:34, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Update: Still waiting for cleanup on the reference formatting. Yoninah (talk) 12:49, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
How's it now? Ṫ Ḧ the joy of the LORDmy strength 13:02, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
  • By reference formatting, I mean the red links that appear in the footnotes section that say: Missing or empty|title=. Frankly, I am wary of passing this nomination even with the titles, as I wonder how much of it is copied from the offline sources by a novice page creator. Yoninah (talk) 21:35, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
