This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

I think it should have Category:Unidentified people so that it shows up there. 173.183.226.212 (talk) 02:20, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. He's in Category:Pseudonymous artists. As for his identity, media has named him and made some identification, see the Identity section in the article, so Category:Unidentified people is too far reaching. --Mvqr (talk) 11:20, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism section

Wikipedia style guides discourage Criticism/Controversy sections. It would be better to have a "Reception" section that contains positive, negative and neutral appraisals of his work. Ashmoo (talk) 13:19, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
