[edit] Link Spamming
Please stop adding inappropriate links to Lyco art. Are you User:Paul Hartal contribs (talk), the editor who created that page about his manifesto? Hu 03:05, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My apologies
As the originator of Lyco Art, I authored this entry with the best of intentions. I tried to be as neutral as possible, presenting only the facts. I apologize for any inappropriate “Link Spamming”. I made the links after a tag was placed on the article saying it was an “orphan” and called for creating links. Please, note that Lyco Art is short for Lyrical Conceptualism, an internationally recognized art idea and the subject of numerous exhibitions in museums and galleries worldwide. Google would yield hundreds of sites with a search for Lyrical Conceptualism, while many others vanished from the Internet over the years. The Internet is a very important source of information, of course. However, judging the significance of something mainly by the number of Google hits is misguided and an apparent shortcoming of the editorial policy of Wikipedia. In order to grasp the importance of Lyco art, serious researchers ought to do much more than “google”. Still, for more information on the author and lyrical conceptualism, please, see the National Gallery of Canada [1], the Encyclopedia of Canadian Artists of Eastern European Origin, [2], as well as others: [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]
A recent review of the author’s Postmodern Light can be found at [11].
If you find that the article on Lyco art has no encyclopedic merit, please delete it.

[edit] "Lyco" and "Lyrical Conceptualism" not really internationally recognized
Google hits on "Lyrical conceptualism" (in quotes) are all basically about you, Paul Hartal. Google hits are not a perfect metric, but they are an effective tool, especially when patterns become apparent. You may have some recognition, but a one person "movement" is not really notable.
However, in looking at some of the links above, I concluded that you are a notable artist, so I have created an article Paul Hartal. I recommend that the Lyco art page be converted to a redirect to the artist article. Hu 23:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- The content of the Lyco art article is now merged into the Paul Hartal article. It is not notable enough to stand on its own, but can certainly be used in the Hartal article. I hope that this will satisfy Hartal. -- Fyslee 16:59, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Search links
Please do not put search URLs into links on Wikipedia. Use the direct URL. Not only are search links not very useful since people are capable of searching things for themselves, but the URLs are huge and make editing and diffing difficult. I had to fix several links in the Alumni section of Columbia Pacific University. Hu 01:33, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
