Help Save the Ben Eine Wikipedia Page !!!, by robertlondon on Jan 8, 2008 23:43:38 GMT 1, Fair citizens of Banksy Forumland I need your help!!!
I’m a saddo who likes writing Wikipedia pages.
Back in October, I put together a Wikipedia page on our favourite shop shutter painter and screenprinter - BEN EINE
Whilst I would not dare to call it comprehensive or even well written, it was, at least, a start.
The problem with Wikipedia is that from time to time self appointed moderators of knowledge decide what is worthy and what is not. A campaign led by “12 noon” and backed by various Americans and Australians is trying to delete Ben Eine’s page. You can read what they have to say here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ben_Eine (you'll have to cut and paste this link)
I would be really grateful if anyone can help save Ben Eine’s presence on wikipedia.
What you can do:
1) Register with Wikipedia and get a username
2) Add an entry to the Wikipedia deletion discussion page on Ben Eine here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ben_Eine (again it's a cut and paste)
Start your entry with “keep…” and say why he’s important to street art.
3) Better still add more information to Ben Eine’s Wikipedia page here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Eine
Please help!
Cheers
robertlondon

Help Save the Ben Eine Wikipedia Page !!!, by robertlondon on Jan 9, 2008 11:40:41 GMT 1, Can I just thank everyone who has helped so far.
One of the problems with Wikipedia is that entries require corroboration from other online sources. If someone does not have that then they quickly become deemed not "notable".
If anyone has Eine links they know of or perhaps even references in books then feel free to add them to his Wikipedia page or leave them in this thread. . .

Help Save the Ben Eine Wikipedia Page !!!, by Andy'77 on Jan 9, 2008 12:04:14 GMT 1, Can anyone remember what Art magazine it was that was free with a paper (Indepentant I think) that had an article about Eine in it? And if so, could you check if the article appeared online.

Help Save the Ben Eine Wikipedia Page !!!, by Macdeee on Jan 9, 2008 12:28:02 GMT 1, No one really mentions Ben's early carreer in London and Kent as one of the UK's most prolific writers. He has been tagging for over 20 years!
Great artist... I hope the Wikipedia page stays. Well done.

Don't know if this is backed up online though.

Saw the reference to "Mash The Tate", which was painted next to Kemistry Gallery. This mural has now been painted over in white by the owner of the building.
