or perhaps I should say "visual artists", now that words such as "musician" seem to be outmoded. CVs are promotional (within tight constraints). The article Rachel Lee Hovnanian is somewhat CV-ish. Hardly surprising, then, if it's promotional. But it doesn't strike me as promotional. (Imbalanced, yes.)
[A] few examples of articles I've written about living artists: Cannupa Hanska Luger, Eric-Paul Riege, Cornelia Hesse-Honegger, Einar and Jamex de la Torre
An interesting bunch. None more so than Hesse-Honegger. I've tinkered with this one: I hope I haven't thereby damaged it; but if I have, feel free to revert. Eric Isenburger isn't a living artist, but this is the artist bio on which I've most recently done quite a bit of work: feel free to improve it. (I can think of two possible augmentations that wouldn't be CV-like and would I think be worthwhile. Aside from those, I don't think I could make non-trivial improvements, or anyway not unless I have the chance to buy an affordable cheap copy of ISBN 978-3-922803-31-7 -- I've already shelled out my own money for ISBN 978-3-7319-0626-1; WP-editing can be an expensive hobby.) -- Hoary (talk)WWU 👍︎ 07:10, 4 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hello Netherzone,
Thank you for reviewing Draft:Giorgos Pol. Ioannidis. I would be grateful for some clarification so that I can address the sourcing issue correctly before resubmitting.
I would particularly like to clarify the nature of some of the principal sources, since they are Greek-language publications and their standing may not be immediately apparent from the citations alone.
One of the main sources is the Lexicon of Greek Artists: Painters – Sculptors – Engravers, 16th–20th Century (Melissa Publishing House, Athens, 1997), a four-volume reference work devoted to Greek artists. Ioannidis has a standalone entry in Volume 2 (p. 49), containing both biographical information and critical discussion of his artistic work. The entry is signed by its contributor and is independent of the artist.
The draft also draws on coverage in established Greek newspapers and periodicals with longstanding publication histories and editorial oversight, in addition to other published secondary sources discussing the artist and his work.
There are also official institutional collection records documenting works by Ioannidis in the collections of MOMus and the Municipal Art Gallery of Thessaloniki, which are cited in the draft. I understand that collection records do not by themselves constitute significant secondary coverage for WP:GNG, but I mention them because they provide independent institutional verification of this aspect of the artist's career.
Could you please clarify whether you consider the cited secondary sources insufficient in terms of reliability or independence, or whether your concern is specifically that they do not provide enough significant coverage to establish notability under WP:GNG?
If possible, it would be particularly helpful to know which sources, or which aspect of their coverage, you consider insufficient. I would prefer to address the underlying issue correctly rather than simply add more references.
Thank you very much for your time and guidance. CuratorArchive (talk) 17:04, 30 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

| Annual Election & Members Meeting | |
|---|---|
 You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our Annual Election & Members Meeting, in-person at Prime Produce in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan and also via Zoom. The Members' Meeting is similar to other WikiWednesday meetups, except that its primary function is to elect new members to the Board of Directors. We will elect three board seats – half of the elected seats on the board – and the elected board can appoint up to five more board members. As part of the Members Meeting, we will also focus on the Wikimedia NYC Programs Plan for the coming year, the Financial Report, and how to participate in our chapter member committees for Tech and Engagement.

A new page Cornelia Hesse-Honegger on the French Wikipedia has been linked to page Cornelia Hesse-Honegger, which you created, via Wikidata (Q1133344).
You will not be notified in the future about new articles linked to any of the articles you have created, if you wish to opt in to receiving these notifications, please follow the opt-in instructions.
The discussion phase of the October 2026 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
We are currently in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages are open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2026/Discussion phase.
On 13 Oct, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for.
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

The voting phase of the October 2026 administrator elections has started and will continue until 19 October 2026 at 23:59 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2026/Voting phase.
As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
In the voting phase, the candidate subpages close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote has a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for a few days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a non-recall candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Recall candidates must achieve 55.0% support. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.
