Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 18:21, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing Camera Work with an eye toward editing

I intend to do a comprehensive review and edit of this article. My goal is to build my skills as a Wikipedia editor and learn more about the editing guidelines while identifying and fixing problems.^[1]

Problems I've seen thus far:

There's a lot of uncited text which I assume is either plagiarized or primary content. There are whole paragraphs with no cite and paragraphs with one cite at the end.

There are numerous examples of plagiarism including attempts to mask plagiarism by changing words. The timeline headers covering the publishing era of Camera Work are also plagiarized and show attempts to mask the plagiarism. I see this as an author's misunderstanding of what plagiarism is as well as a lack of knowledge of Wikipedia guidelines.

The source descriptions need to be cleaned up and updated with available links.

There are some non-neutral points of view and there's an opportunity for a style edit that will improve the text's brevity and clarity.

The list of Camera Work issues might best made into a separate list that is linked to from the article. I will review image placement to see whether each supports the relevant portion of the text.

I'll take a look at the article in the context of the articles on Stieglitz, Photo-Secession, and Pictorialism. I'm interested in how the articles are balanced versus each other.

Once my review is complete, I'll assess whether the article needs a clean-up or something deeper. I'll post about that here before I make any edits. Any thoughts in the meantime will be appreciated.
