This article has recently been tagged as requiring cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The article may have been flagged as needing cleanup because it has been suggested that:
For a full list of possible problems see Wikipedia:Manual of Style. As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page. |

[edit] Restructure
I readded the "restructure" tag. Stevegallery's contributions to this article were good and useful, but overall the article needs reorganized, with a more logical arrangement into sections, and making sure the writing in that section actually belongs there. I can do this at some point, but right now I'm busy. If anybody else wants to do this, have at it. Peter G Werner 00:32, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deleted paragraph
I reverted the following paragraph added by User:Luggagestore:
- McGee worked with the luggage store/aka 509 Cultural Center - http://www.luggagestoregallery.org on a variety of public art projects, commissions and exhibitions. In 1991, he painted two roll down doors for the "luggage store's roll down door project" at 1007 and 1009 Market Street in San Francisco. That project was funded by one department of The City of San Francisco -- The SF Art Commission's Market Street Art in Transit Program and painted over without permission by another department of the City of San Francisco--Department of Public Works Anti Grafitti Program. The mural on the roll down door at 1009 Market Street exists. McGee was featured in a two person show, "Folklore" with Brett Cook/Dizney in 1994. In 1995/6, McGee collaborated with Phillip Ross, at the luggage store's annex space at 1000 Market Street, creating several mechanical pieces, including a policeman with rolling eyes installed on the outside of this historical flat iron building. McGee collaborated with the lsg on his first permissional public mural which was painted on metal panels and installed on Howard at 6th Street. The mural, over 25 ft. long, was stolen after one year and has not been recovered. McGee exhibited in several group shows at the gallery including "Off the Hook," curated by Thomas Campbell in 1998, Frenzy I in 1999, Outerspace Hillbilly in 2003 with Clare E. Rojas, leif Goldberg and Andrew Jeffrey Wright; No War (90 artists) in November 03 and Frenzy II in 2004.
I reverted it for the following reasons, 1) while the Luggage Store clearly played an important role in the career of Barry McGee, this section gives undue weight to his work with Luggage Store, 2) that and the prominent link to the Luggage Store website cross the line into self-promotion, and 3) the section clearly crosses the line into original research – the above paragraph is clearly based on a history of professional interaction with Barry McGee rather than facts derived from verifiable, published sources.
