[edit] A wizard, a true star

(1) Move aside Avedon, Penn, etc. etc: this article makes Vadukul sound like an utterly amazing photographer.

(2) I notice that with the exception of a single small edit by User:128.61.98.24, every addition of content to this article has been made by User:66.65.158.132 (contributions), User:Pr61 (contributions), or User:Maxvadukul (contributions), each of whom seems (from his or her list of contributions) to be exclusively interested in Max Vadakul.

I trust that (1) and (2) are not related. -- Hoary 07:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anon vandalism

Anon editors, please, rather than vandalize what you diagree with, work on fixing it. If a statement is tagged "citation needed", and you don't agree with it, then just remove it rather than making up a citation. Such removals are not vandalism; made-up citations are.

[edit] Sourcing

Tyrenius has done a good job here and I'm reluctant to criticize it. However, some claims for MV's career are sourced from MV's own website. This is poor. (That the site is unusable without Flash is the, er, whatever's the opposite of icing on the cake.) -- Hoary (talk) 07:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

After notability has been established I think it's ok to cite the odd bit from a subject's own website but I never cite content which has been rendered in flash. Gwen Gale (talk) 08:10, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

At least a dozen covers for Rolling Stone are credited to him (three cites are now provided in article). Gwen Gale (talk) 10:18, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
