Removed reference to The Big Con[edit]

I removed this line:

"David Maurer's The Big Con provided Mathews with a number of slang terms, and possibly some plot elements as well."

because Maurer's book was published in 1999.

Further research shows that Maurer's book was originally published in 1940. Paul 04:48, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tate Magazine article[edit]

This link: http://www.tate.org.uk/tateetc/issue12/livingwithniki.htm

was removed from the article as "spam." I don't see anything wrong with it.

The user who added it had blanketed a large number of pages with articles from the tate.org.uk page. Adding nothing but ELs, from one homepage, to a wide variety of articles, is necessarily spammming and self-promotion. Carl.bunderson (talk) 04:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The link has been restored by the same Tate Modern employee, so it may be time to ask for help from an administrator. Paul (User:Lpgeffen) (talk) 01:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem[edit]

This article has been reverted by a bot to this version as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) This has been done to remove User:Accotink2's contributions as they have a history of extensive copyright violation and so it is assumed that all of their major contributions are copyright violations. Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

First marriage[edit]

Hi, There are two years given as separation/divorce with Niki de Saint Phalle (by the same website). I suppose that 60 could be de facto separation and 1961 legal divorce? See : http://nikidesaintphalle.org/2017/01/ and the footnote in the bio section. I will try to make things clear (separate in the text+1960; marriage+1961 in the infobox (and that source)

As for the hatnote, the current version is not nice with apparent bracket and so on. I wish we could stick with the one I put now. Thank you for your cooperation. Hoping I made things for the best. darthbunk pakt dunft 20:59, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
