[edit] Still Underlinked?

I added a link to this page from Haddo House since it was an external link at the time. Aside from category pages and a cemetary list, this is now linked to from 3 pages -- all of the pages that showed up in the context search in the template. Is that enough to remove it? I'll do so in a few days if there's no objection.

Oh yeah, I said I'd do that, huh? Done. (forgot to sign my post up there too) —BlackTerror 13:59, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV issues?

This article has been on Wikipedia:Cleanup since April stating that the last paragraph is biased and pov. Such analysis needs to be sourced. I've moved it here as a record.

In his art, Giles possessed an adaptability in both style and treatment of landscape, which reveals itself in a number of aspects: the freedom of the early Italian sketches; the classical grandeur of the later Italianate landscapes; the romanticism of the Scottish landscape; the interrelationship of architecture and its surroundings; ideas about the place of humanity in the landscape and the occurrence of native animals in their natural habitat. All of these aspects have a common constituent in the artist’s professed ethos of taking his inspiration from detailed observation, directly from nature. It is his breadth and variety as a landscape painter, coupled with his devotion to detailed study from nature, that should earn James Giles his niche in the history of Scottish art. --Lendorien (talk) 16:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
