Name

What was her name before she was called "Nan"? Can someone put it in the page? Zargulon 20:04, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nancy, I think, but I can't find a source right now. Jldb 22:06, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seized art

I added a couple of lines regarding a photograph of Goldin's that was recently seized from an art gallery in the United Kingdom. SimpleParadox 17:37, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

The criticism information needs to be cited. Hexcowboy 12:54, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship

This topic is incomplete. The sentence "an exhibition of Goldin's recent works was censored in Brazil(...) due to the sexually explicit content of her work is not complete. The sponsor canceled the exhibition on it's venue because of images of sexually explicit close to children on the exhibition and not because of sexually explicit content itself. This information is relevant. Images of children in sexual scenes is illegal in Brasil. Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). Besides this is what is written on the reference cited for the first editor, therefore the inclusion of this information is not vandalism. Also "The sponsor of the exhibition, a cellphone company, claimed to be unaware of the content of Goldin's work" and that there is a conflict of all the work with its educational project. I can't understand why this second part has been omitted (and deleted from my edition) from the sentence if it is also written on the same article cited as reference.

My pertinent contribution has being deleted and accused of vandalism with no justification. I would say my edition was victim of vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabiana Godoy (talk • contribs) 23:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is not fair use

The photos on this page on this date are not free use, and i dont see how their use here constitutes fair use. the photo of her book cover would be fine in an article on the book (which it deserves), but the others i dont see, unless we include commentary on the image, based on sources that have commented on the specific image (a la guernica and other notable works). im surprised they havent been tagged.

Added a Section to Activism

Hello All, I have added information to the Activism section regarding Nan Goldin's efforts to critique gender norms and cliches through Ballad of Sexual Dependancy. I would appreciate any feedback as I am new and learning. Thank you all for letting me contribute to this page! Riverastoria (talk) 02:34, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Riverastoria: Hi, and thank you for your contribution. I dispute that this thread in her work is activism, and believe it would be better in the Life and Work section as it is about her photography. Perhaps we should further divide and create a The Ballad of Sexual Dependancy subsection in the Life and Work section. It might arguably instead belong in The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, though the info does appear to relate to wider aspects of her life than just this work. It would be worth attributing the claims to the author of the cited source. Also, please use MOS:SURNAME, thanks. -Lopifalko (talk) 07:50, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Why is Goldin in category 21st-century American Jews? Is this defining for her? --TadejM ^{my talk} 02:22, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
