The sculpture images should probably be replaced with a free-use alternative, since it's unlikely that copyrighted images of the sculpture qualifies as "fair use" when it should be relatively simple to create a replacement. Extraordinary Machine 19:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
The first sentence of this article is "Daniel Edwards is a controversial sculptor". It seems to me that this is a bit unfair; it brands the man as being merely "controversial" and implies that he is a "controversial sculptor" in the same way that Salvador Dali is a "surrealist painter". I propose the following first sentence: "David Edwards is a sculptor whose works often address popular culture and celebrity in ways which have aroused controversy". I think this is more fair to the man, and also gives a hint of why his works are controversial. If no one objects within a day or so, I'll make this change, or feel free to use or adapt my suggestion. --JovanPanić 21:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
As per Wikipedia:Notability (people), an article about a Creative professional should contain references establishing notability and hopefully state why the artist is notable in its text. If this artist's notability consists of the controversy he generates with his art then it may come under the guidelines:
The article could also cite one of the following criteria that pertains to artists:
Fountains of Bryn Mawr 02:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
His pieces address celebrity and popular culture in ways that have often stirred controversy
To get back on topic, the opening can state that he is an American sculptor whose pieces address celebrity and popular culture, period. The controversy bit is, as you suggest, rather meaningless without a cite. JNW ( talk) 12:55, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
C'mon, the article actually says "although the actual poop isnt 'for real,'" quite casually at the end of their 90 word "article" on this sculpture. If everyone agrees that he did in fact use real fecal matter in his painting, why does one crappy site's misinformation cause for speculation on the subject? Starpulse.com? Maybe they have accurate information on Kim Kardashian's birthday party, but perhaps not on this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.216.226.141 ( talk) 19:08, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
