Art or vandalism?
[edit]A huge amount of this article is devoted to the notion of graffiti as an artform, and yet the majority of graffiti is criminal juvenile tagging, endlessly repeated, without talent, originality or imagination. Nowhere does the article mention that graffiti is unpopular, and yet it is. A 2014 Yougov poll (for example), conducted in the UK, showed that only 15% of the population actually liked graffiti, whereas 45% of the population positively disliked it, albeit that a slim majority agreed with the (totally irrelevant) postulation that some graffiti could be considered art. It goes without saying that some graffiti could of course be considered art: but unfortunately it's only about 0.001% of it. Surely the unpopularity of graffiti should be mentioned?

CHANGE: trains were covered in graffiti (1973). TO: train covered in graffiti (1973).
The original caption states that "trains were covered in graffiti"; implying all trains (since 'train(s)'), used to be (since 'were') covered in graffiti. The photo shows one singular train covered in graffiti and does not cite any sources stating that every single train in NYC was covered in graffiti in 1973; which was allegedly since removed.

- It looks like you were able to complete this yourself. Thanks for fixing the caption! Marking as answered. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 04:44, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Copyright
[edit]Huge long article without any mention of the term copyright. Why? Likewise: graffiti is not mentioned in public domain, why ? Wuerzele (talk) 18:57, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
