Félix González-Torres image
Hi FGTF. Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you removed the image from the Félix González-Torres article and said that the artist didn't approve of having images of himself reproduced. I was wondering if you can point me to an article or something that could confirm that he felt that way. Thanks, Gobōnobo  + c 14:31, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Gobonobo. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Félix González-Torres without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Gobōnobo  + c 16:54, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Félix González-Torres, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Image of Felix Gonzalez-Torres
Please refer to the preface of the book "Felix Gonzalez-Torres" edited by Julie Ault. She writes: "Felix was reticent to speak about his own life in public lectures and generally refused to allow his photograph to circulate in art publicity, preferring that people focus on the work rather than him or his image. He never wanted to distract from his language as an artist, and frequently said “I am not the work.”

I am not sure why you are adamant about reposting this image, but doing so clearly runs counter to the artist's intentions. We ask you again to stop posting the image. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FGTF (talk • contribs)


 * Hi FGTF. I'd love to discuss the merits of maintaining a visual representation of Gonzalez-Torres with you. I think the best place to do so would be on the talk page of his article, where other editors will have the opportunity to chime in and benefit from an exchange. If you don't mind, I'll post this conversation over there and we can continue it there. Gobōnobo  + c 04:32, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
