Add External Link

I would like to submit Trunk Archive as an external link. Trunk Archive is the image licensing agency that represents his photography archives. Where there are links to online galleries and his personal website, it is appropriate and necessary to add Trunk Archive, who handles his photos in syndication and also serves as a more comprehensive gallery to his body of work.

There is a log-in for users that set up an account, but also a general view to the public that requires no log-in at all accessible through "view archive". Thank you. 74.8.187.218 (talk) 17:15, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - There are already two links to his official site, as well as his business site. If users's should be directed to some affiliated website, they can find it through the official one. TimothyJosephWood 13:56, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Publications

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Nick Knight published his first book whilst at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art. The publication, entitled Skinhead, compiles a series of documentary photographs of London’s skinhead gangs accompanied by essays, discography and fashion illustrations of skinhead youth cult from the 1960s by Jim Ferguson.^[1]87.224.12.226 (talk) 13:42, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - The work is already listed under his publications section, and the part about his career. The article does not need a digression into a blurb every time a work is mentioned. TimothyJosephWood 13:59, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Plant Power

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In 1992 Knight took a year long break from fashion photography to work on an exhibition at Natural History Museum, London with the British architect David Chipperfield. The exhibition was called Plant Power and was on the theme of the relationship between humans and plants.^[2] The exhibition was on show in the Natural History Museum, London for 15 years^[3].

Done Nice one; thanks. — O Fortuna^{semper crescis, aut decrescis} 16:17, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Event order

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at A. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The two last paragraphs of the "Life and career" section should maybe be switched as the current penultimate sentence is mentioning an event that took place in 2016 others mention events that took place in 2001, 2003, 2011 and 2013. This should probably be chronological. Thanks Tom.zambaz (talk) 16:51, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense;

Done Thanks agaon @Tom.zambaz:. — O Fortuna^{semper crescis, aut decrescis} 16:56, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In 2009, Knight persuaded Alexander McQueen to broadcast what turned out to be his last fashion show^[4] , Plato's Atlantis, live on Knight's fashion website SHOWstudio. This was the first time a major fashion show had been broadcast live in this way and forever changed how the fashion world would show their collections^[5]. Tom.zambaz (talk) 14:27, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tom.zambaz. The claim that Plato's Atlantis "forever changed how the fashion world would show their collections" is quite bold, and I must see broad acceptance of this claim before I'm willing to add it to this article. Altamel (talk) 01:45, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Knight commissioned British Architect Sir David Chipperfield to build a modern house for him and his partner Charlotte Wheeler in Petersham, London. The house faced a lot of resistance for some of his neighbours as it was very different stylistically from the houses around it but was successfully completed in 1990 with only little compromise to the original design the house was extended doubling its size in 1997^[6].

I'm gonna provide the same answer Altamel gave for your other request above. Sorry. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 03:02, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SHOWstudio section

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at D. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it.

The SHOWstudio part could be turned into a full section with the following additions:

In November 2000, Knight launched SHOWstudio.com. The site is known as 'The Home of Fashion Film and Live Fashion Broadcasting^[7]^[8]. In 2003, SHOWstudio won the Webby Award for Best Fashion Website^[9]. In 2012, after the site was redesigned, SHOWstudio won another Webby Award for Best Fashion Website^[10]. The first editor of SHOWstudio was writer Alice Rawsthorn, followed by Penny Martin, Alexander Fury^[11]. Lou Stoppard is currently SHOWstudio's Editor-at-Large^[12]. In 2014, SHOWstudio teamed up with Soho concept store MACHINE-A to sell fashion alongside contemporary art and fashion illustration^[13]. Tom.zambaz (talk) 15:09, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SHOWstudio exhibitions

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Nick Knight (photographer). (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it.

Some of the exhibitions mentioned in the "Exhibitions" section are not Nick Knight exhibitions but SHOWstudio exhibitions. As there currently is no SHOWstudio page, those informations should be sitting here given Nick Knight is the director and founder of SHOWstudio.

These should then feature in a separate section about SHOWstudio:

2012

Flora, SHOWstudio Shop, London, Great Britain
Death, SHOWstudio Shop, London, Great Britain

2009

Fashion Revolution, Somerset House, London, Great Britain

The latest, "Fashion Revolution", should have a presentation text:

In 2009, SHOWstudio collaborated on an exhibition 'Fashion Revolution' at Somerset House, London from September 17 - December 23^[14]. The show featured multi-media installations from Peter Saville (graphic designer), Liberty Ross, Heston Blumenthal, Gareth Pugh, Simon Foxton and Julie Verhoeven and was heavily collaborative^[15]. Knight created a 25 foot statue of Naomi Campbell for the show. The statue was interactive and a version existed online at SHOWstudio which visitors could draw and write upon^[16].Tom.zambaz (talk) 15:29, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
