The easiest way for you to create your article is to click on the red link of your father's name that you mention you have have inserted into the Curtis Inst article. This will bring up the edit page for the prospective article. You can then cut and paste the info that you have written. Then select 'preview' so that you can see that the article looks how you wish it to look and then when you are happy click 'save'. It will then all depend on how well referenced the article is and how notable your father is. With regard to photo uploading you can either upload by clicking on 'upload file' in the left hand menu box called 'toolbox' or you can upload to Wikepedia Commons. In either case just follow the instructions, if you have any difficulty do come back to me.

File source problem with File:PQ AT CARDS.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:PQ AT CARDS.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

Fair use rationale for File:PQ AT CARDS.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PQ AT CARDS.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:33, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello Magog, I am belatedly responding to your comments on this photo. I was surprised and disappointed to see that it has been deleted, as I thought we had resolved this issue. The copyright status is very similar to that for "The PQ Relaxing" on this page. I will make another attempt to submit satisfactory copyright info, and will appreciate any additional direction you can provide. Thanks much. DtemiankaHT (talk) 20:41, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

FFD Notification
Please see Files_for_deletion/2011_March_9. I have two concerns about these images. One is that there are excessively many images for the article. The second is that we don't normally accept images from the copyright holder under restrictive terms - if the estate that you are the executor for would like to release the images under the terms of an acceptable free content license, that would be fine, but when images licensed for use on "Wikipedia only" were banned six years ago, this is the type of thing it was targeting. --B (talk) 02:56, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Response re photos
Hello B, I am of course disappointed that the photos in my article on the Paganini Quartet have been deleted. As you can see I had made several changes over nearly two years in an attempt to meet Wikipedia's requirements regarding copyright protection. I must admit that the guidelines are complex and bewildering... through no fault of yours, I realize.

I have acted in good faith, and done my level best to be open and honest as to the provenance, or lack of it, for these images. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the persons depicted and their photographers are either dead or, if still active, are unknown and impossible to contact.

I would be most grateful for more specific direction. I have full authority to act on behalf of the Henri Temianka Estate, in which the photos reside, and would be quite willing to release the photos for Free Use, as suggested. I believe the photos add substantially to the shape and appeal of the article. Many thanks in advance for your guidance. DtemiankaHT (talk) 22:31, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Creation of Paganini quartet
Dear Sir, After reading this interesting article, I am surprised to learn that Henri Temianka created the Paganini quartet. However, it is specified there that it was Robert Maas who obtained the patronage of Mrs. Anna Clark and that it was also Robert Maas who found the musical instruments at her luthier, which Mrs. Clark immediately purchased. I also have various documents (letters from Henri Temianka, Robert Courte and Gustave Rossels) in which it appears that it was Robert Maas who founded the quartet: • Henri Temianka writes that Robert created the quartet and gave it everything (letters of January 2 and October 3, 1949); • Robert Courte does the same (letter of August 20, 1948); • Gustave Rossels thanks Robert Maas almost 20 years after his death for giving him the opportunity to come to America (letter of January 22, 1966); • Robert Courte also thanks him for offering to join the quartet (letter of January 28, 1946). A concert program dated November 13, 1953 further indicates that "the Paganini Quartet was created at the beginning of 1946, on the initiative of the great cellist Robert Maas ...". These archives will be transferred in the course of 2021 to the Robert Maas Fund, created at the Royal Library of Belgium. Everything therefore indicates that Robert Maas is at the origin of the creation of the Paganini (obtaining a sponsorship, research of instruments and musicians), which does not detract from the importance of Henri Temianka on whom the choice is is also arrested in view of his recognized qualities. Mrs. Clark’s strong moral and financial support was also of paramount importance.

In order not to erase this contribution, I would like the text to be changed and now mention that the quartet was created at the initiative of Robert Maas. Thank you in advance. --Skyetciel (talk) 16:57, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

REPLY: Hello Skyetciel, Thank you for your comments. You make a very interesting point. I invite you to read, if you have not already, pages 115 through 118 of my father's book "Facing the Music," where he discusses this important history. (If you do not have a copy of the book, and would like to share your mailing address, I will be happy to mail you a copy with my compliments.) Please allow me at least a few days to consider this matter and do some additional research, including a review of original letters from that period. I am open to editing the language in the Wikipedia articles in a manner agreeable to us both. Maestro Maas would undoubtedly have received more recognition had he not tragically passed away so soon. You may also wish to look at the link to the Henri Temianka Archives, located at Chapman University in Orange, California. My wife and I established the Archives some years ago, and it houses more than 3000 letters, photographs and other memorabilia. See https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/temianka/ Regards, DT

Creation of Paganini quartet
Hello DtemiankaHT I have just seen that the page devoted to the biography of Henri Temianka has recently been modified regarding the creation of the Paganini quartet.

However, I am surprised to read that the quartet is the result of a co-foundation. May I ask you what the sources were for this correction?

I have consulted numerous documents from my family archives which state that the quartet was founded by Robert Maas, alone, with the financial support of Mrs. Clark.

According to these documents, it was Robert Maas who obtained the support of the latter, found the four instruments at his luthier, and contacted two of his friends and fellow musicians Robert Courte and Gustave Rosseels. The only thing that I don’t know is the exact circumstance in which Henri Temianka was also approached because I have no document on this subject. I know of course that Henri Temianka was an excellent performer and that offering him to join the new quartet was no surprise but I do not know when and how he and Robert Maas first came into contact about the creation of the quartet.

Among all the documents establishing the identity of the founder of the quartet (among others letters from third parties and a concert program), the most important one is the contract concluded between Robert Maas and Anna Clark on February 14, 1946 (and its amendment of December 6, 1947) which undoubtedly specifies that Anna Clark sponsors Robert Maas to organize and develop the future Paganini quartet, as well as to look for three other people, one of whom will be Henri Temianka (it is specified in the contract).

Unless you have documents as convincing as mine and which clearly establish the reality of a co-foundation, it would be useful to modify the paragraph on the creation of the Paganini to include the name of Robert Maas only.

About the creation of this quartet, you can consult the biography of Robert Maas in Wikipedia through: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Maas.

The family archives are transferred to the Robert Maas Fund of the Music Section of the Royal Library of Belgium. I have kept scanned copies of the documents mentioned above. If you wish, I can communicate them to you if you send me your e-mail.

If you also wish to send documents or contact me directly, here is my email : colin.francoise@gmail.com.

Thank you very much for your attention. Skyetciel (talk) 14:51, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
