'''Comments:'''
* Extremely famous fantasy artist, has brief bio, no images, and a very limited list of works. For a guy who illustrated/painted for more than 50 years, there HAS to be something we can do to beef this up. In particular some sort of a fairuse/pd image of Frank, and perhaps one or two of his illustrations (if we can find stuff thats legit to use)
**I hear ya, but it's a self-reciprocating problem: if none of us know who he is, none of us can help. -[[User:Litefantastic|Litefantastic]] 01:47, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
***Ever heard of conan the barbarian? he's the guy who made him famous before Arnold got the role. Most fantasy movies in the 1970s and 1980s used him for inspiration.
* Alki, have you tried [[Wikipedia:Pages needing attention]] or even, go crazy :-), [[Wikipedia:Peer review]]? The problem with this type of article is not that it shouldn't be better represented — nobody's arguing against that — but that it's not a stub, and not a topic the community as a whole should look into to spare our encyclopedia public ridicule. :-) CotW is not so much for "beefing up" articles as it is for pounding out articles on major topics that basically have little to nothing now. While [[Frank Frazetta]] could do with improvement, it's not exactly a woefully incomplete article either. (And as for images: [[Wikipedia:Requested pictures]].) We have better outlets for this type of task. [[User:JRM|JRM]] 12:41, 2005 Jan 25 (UTC)
:I did add him to requested pictures (you probably overlooked him on a page thats EXTREMELY long). I didnt feel there was enough to really work with to nominate it for Peer review (and Peer review is extremely busy). as for pages needing attention, I forgot about that one as I think do most Wikipedians :) I still feel this is the appropriate outlet. Its also likely the only way its going to gain much attention/help since the others are swamped.
:: *sigh* True enough. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: wikis just don't work. :-) Bah, screw all these special pages. I'm going to back to editing everything individually. :-P [[User:JRM|JRM]] 09:25, 2005 Jan 26 (UTC)
* I know nothing about him, but I could read up. --[[User:Sketchee|Sketchee]] 12:49, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)
