This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Art Experts (talk) 19:05, 26 October 2011 (UTC)I have already told you: it is only setting out verifiable facts! Dr Whittingham has the right to have his entry which is not promoting him but promoting an interest in J.W.M. Turner, the 19th C painter!

However, you could perhaps now be a little more helpful to inform us what material in this proposed entry can possibly be partial or promotional?--

Of course he is somewhat of a controversial figure as he maintains J.M.W. Turner's USD ONE Billion+ Bequest has not been treated correctly, in accordance with Turner's wishes. That independent stance, shared by Turner's family - see last Sunday's Daily Telegraph of London for more - does not sit well with the Brit so called "art establishment" - please do not be intimidated by threats of censorship + or demands for deletion! If I could contribute more, I'll be happy to PLEASE contact me by email: turnermuseum@turnermuseum.org with SIMPLE instructions.
