It is suggested that you read the above instructions...Modernist (talk) 12:25, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I have come here to say exactly the same thing. We are pointing you the way to good editing, and you are ignoring the advice. If you want to edit wiki articles, then you need to take the time to learn wiki methods. See also WP:OWN, WP:CIVIL, and WP:TPG, which says upper case and bold should not be used for talk posts.

Personal attacks
Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors. Modernist (talk) 05:50, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Albert Henry Krehbiel
Let's try and calm this down. We all have the same purpose, which is an excellent article on Albert Henry Krehbiel. You are a new editor and, understandably, are not getting some things right according to wikipedia policies and guidelines, which you are not familiar with. We are simply pointing you to those and correcting the article in the light of them. Your co-operation in this will make everything go more happily for all concerned. When you are pointed to details of how to do something, please study and apply it, in particular the guide to referencing provided on this page. Material on wikipedia needs inline citations (i.e. references in the text), not just a list of references in a section at the end. Readers need to know where the article information has been sourced from. That is fundamental.  Ty  12:15, 26 October 2009 (UTC)


 * To post to user, go to their user page, then click the "discussion" tab, so you can post on their talk page.


 * Re. editing. 1) Find a good source/sources per WP:RS, i.e. books (not self published), mainstream media sources (not one person-published blogs). 2) Extract relevant information, paraphrase it, rewrite, jiggle it around a bit etc to avoid copyright violations. 3) Put it in the article and at the end of the sentence/paragraph, put the link to the reference, as outlined in the ref guide above.


 * Avoid claims, e.g. "unique", "the best", "innovatory" etc, per WP:PEACOCK, unless these are from the source, when they should be clearly indicated as being from the source, probably with a ref after the actual word, or else the word in double quote marks. Likewise avoid editorial interpretation and analysis. This should come from sources and follow the guidance just outlined. Avoid vague attributions, such as "it is thought" or "many people say" per WP:WEASEL. Say who thought/said something, attribute it and reference it.


 * Following the above will clear the way to easy editing and a good article. Feel free to ask me, Modernist (one of the best wiki Visual Arts editors) or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts for more assistance for writing etc, or with including images. Minimal "fair use" is permissible; preferable are images released under GFDL or CC-BY-SA-3.0, which can be low resolution if wished. These licences allow anyone to use the image, including commercially, with attribution. The licences mean that multiple images can be included in an article. Only the copyright holder can grant the licences, of course.

Talk page wikiquette
See WP:TPG. Please don't use capitals and/or bold for text in talk pages posts, as it's considered to be shouting. Thanks.  Ty  23:10, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Krehbiel in front of easel JPEG 150p.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Krehbiel in front of easel JPEG 150p.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.  Skier Dude ►  08:44, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Given the restrictions you've placed on the image it probably isn't usable here. The only option would be to use the Non-free 2D art license - but then the image must be used on an article with critical commentary on the image itself. A full list of the options for licenses is found at Image copyright tags/All.  Skier Dude  ►  03:51, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * What you would want to do then, is to follow the instructions at WP:OTRS - e-mail them from the company e-mail account giving the name of the image and the license that you want it released under. This way there will be proof of the release and you won't have to go through any questions about it in the future.  Skier Dude  ►  05:38, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Links
Please stop adding more links to articles to which they really do not belong. Synchromism was an early abstraction movement dating from 1912 - adding every artist who ever made colorful related pictures as late as 1931 does not belong there, he's linked in the list - put the images on his article. Add the links to his article, because this is not a landscape movement or a figurative movement it was one of the first purely abstract movements. Every artist who ever had a show in Santa Fe or Santa Monica does not add their paintings to those articles. Thank you...Modernist (talk) 05:28, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
