Wesley Kimler Article Formatting
Hello, I did a little work to format your article on Wesley Kimler a little closer to the style found on most wikipedia articles. I'm not as familiar with art articles as I should be, so you might wish to rename some of the section titles to be a little more fitting, or even rearrange it a little. If you want any suggestions or have any questions about it, just let me know. ~ Falls End (T, C) 16:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Nice format changes. I'll try to learn from that and do so in the future. For instance I also did a shorter piece on Mark Staff Brandl. I need to expand it and add headings as you did. Your idea is great. I just need to adjust a few terms (expositions is not used --- in art "exhibitions" is the term). Thanks a lot! Art Scholar 19:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Nice job with the other article. If you haven't seen it before take a look through the Tutorial it'll give a good overview of the things you can do to make articles look good. And of course, it you have any questions or want points just let me know on my talk page. Happy Editing! ~ Falls End (T, C) 17:34, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I have been back to the Wesley Kimler article recently, because someone (unregistered and unnamed) repeatedly attempts to add childish, silly criticism. He is a controversial artist, so this is one of his enemies, undoubtedly. I tried to make a new section "Controversy" to include the stuff in a more scholarly way, but this might just be a "flaming" issue.

I hope to do some more living American artists as I find time.

By the way, that "Someone" I mentioned above appears to someone named Michael Bulka (he does not use his name, just his Comp. No. appears, 71.201.47.248), who keeps adding in sly insults to the page. As he is a very minor, essentially unknown critic, quotes himself, and has a person problem with Kimler, I think this address may need to be blocked. I have to keep eliminating things and I wish to get on to other artists.

Replaceable fair use Image:Homerin.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Homerin.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 19:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Quadell! Thanks for checking. There is, however, no problem with the Homerin image, as he himself supplied it to me and it is the one that his university uses in press releases and so on, and is intended for use such as Wikipedia. Art Scholar

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Jets pekin.jpeg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jets pekin.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Markstaffbrandl.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Markstaffbrandl.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 22:54, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

GFDL
Maybe you could get some GFDL releases of images to go with articles you have edited. This can be for low res images. See User_talk:VAwebteam. The Victoria and Albert Museum have released a lot of images under GFDL.  Ty  00:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
