Fair use
It's wording I adapted and worked out some time ago, and generally use it with tweaks where necessary. No doubt it can be improved now. You can find it ready to copy and paste at: User:Tyrenius/Image_FU. Also check out the links at User:Tyrenius.

You must state the source, e.g. URL if from web, copyright owner (or presumed owner), details of the image - title, artist, plus a fair use rationale for each article it is used in: this goes on the image page, plus the Non-free 2D art template. Justification for fair use on wiki includes free image is not available, use in critical commentary or to illustrate the work of the artist or school of art, low resolution and is not considered to prejudice the commercial interests of the copyright owner.

Dear Freshacconci
I noticed you deleted and edited a few references through censure-methods that lacked discussions. If you can please abide through the debate and discussions provided by Wikipedia's good faith policy (since these are what such features were in place for) it'd be greatly appreciate and with your civil participation we shall enhance the Wikipedia database for the better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.81.86.124 (talk • contribs)

Modern Lovers song/Pablo Picasso
If the McCartney song reference is valid, then the Modern Lovers song is also valid. To snub them because they didn't have as much commercial success is snobbery. Wikipedia recognizes them and recognizes the song. It is a valid cross-reference. If trivia is not fair play, then the article should not have a trivia section.

Junichi Kakizaki
How do you do? My user name is HANA-OFFICE. I take charge of the management of the web at the office (HANA OFFICE) of Junichi Kakizaki.

I can not understand why this editing isn't admitted. These are a description based on the fact and there are not a lie and a lie. I want the following editing and the addition. If you edit in the best way, I want it. Because my mother tongue is Japanese, I am not good at English. Please, help me. Please, we request, being good. Thank you.

Junichi Kakizaki (柿崎順一, born Jan. 4, 1971) is an artist who incorporates flower art in various fields of contemporary visual and performing arts. He was born and currently lives in Chikuma City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

Kakizaki has been described as a “sculptor of flowers.” Using natural materials including flowers, trees, clay, earth, etc., he has created works of flower art in many modes, ranging from sculptural and other 3-dimensional art to photography, scenic design, objects and installations, and land art, as well as performance and media art. His work has won an outstanding reputation, particularly in Northern Europe, where he has been invited to create work by artistic and cultural organizations, among others.

Exploring the theme of human life and death in a distinctive personal style, Kakizaki’s work emanates a unique beauty. His materials are not limited to flowers in the conventional sense of the flower in bloom or bud, but also includes flowers in decline, withered, and decaying, and in the catabolic process of breakdown into simpler substances. He also uses a variety of other non-floral elements. Kakizaki’s work expresses not only the beauty of flower, but also the fear and mixed feelings of love and hate that coexist with beauty. While many of his pieces use black, the “color of death,” his body of work also includes numerous works of variegated color, and exhibits a wide breadth of expression. Creation of unique form from shapeless matter, which is a characteristic feature of sculpture and the plastic arts, is also a distinctive quality of Kakizaki’s art. In this, it appears that Kakizaki has been strongly influenced by Japan’s ankoku butoh, known to Western audiences as “the dance of darkness,” and particularly by Kazuo Ohno, one of butoh’s founders, with whom Kakizaki has worked. Fashion and music also affect his work. The contemporary artists Yayoi Kusama and Yutaka Matsuzawa, who come from the same region of Japan, are also influences.

Unlike other flower artists, Kakizaki frequently uses small parts of the flower, such as the petal, pistil, or stamen, and fruit, and doesn't use a leaf and a stem too much. In stage work, Kakizaki is mainly responsible for scenic design as such, but has also appeared on stage in butoh and contemporary dance as a performance artist.

computer fine arts - Internet art
Description of project: computer fine arts collection is a net art archive and online exhibition space for net art works. Started in 2001, the site is supported by artists that make available any updates that are made to their projects in the interest of forward compatibility with internet applications or versions. The collection is available online to the general public free of charge.

Christiane Paul curator of New Media at the Whitney Museum writes: .."The "holdings" of the Computer Fine Arts Collection are a microcosm of net art that perfectly illustrates the breadth of artistic practice on the Web.. ..Computer Fine Arts is the largest private collection of net art to date, a rarity that deserves to be exhibited widely and will hopefully set an example for institutions and private collectors around the world."

Hello
I noticed you had some trouble with an anonymous user on the Hugenot article. This user is well known to me, he edits using a dynamic IP address and has had several sockpuppets besides. His first was called User:Eoganan. He has engaged in pov pushing and vandalism, including very offensive vandalism of user pages, for well over a year. He's more of a pest than anything else, wanting to push his own rather odd personal opinions regarding concepts of "race" and ethnicity. Most of his editing is very racist and is generally unsubstantiated and non-neutral.I usually keep an eye out for him and just revert when I see he has been about. He's just a bit pathetic really. If you take a look at the edit history of my user page you'll see a lot of personal attacks against me and vandalism, mostly by Ips beginning with 69.156/69.157, which is the same as this user. You can see this by looking at Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Eoganan. Just thought I'd let you know he has a very long history of this sort of thing. All the best.

Thanks for your note today that "In a recent edit, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another". I understand the policy, and I didn't intend to do that; I was just intending to fix typos.

P.S. - after some searching through my edits, I have found the one you objected to, where I changed "labourious" to "laborious". In fact "laborious" is correct, and "labourious" is wrong, in both British and American English: see Lists of common misspellings/L. JohnCD 21:37, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Postmodernism in Photography
Postmodernims affects all levels of society. Artists do function like sensors to see, what others don't. The well known artist Stifter, is presenting postmodern art in books. It is of utmost importance to be able to cite this great Swiss artist in respect to Postmodern art.

Please, include his works of art again in this article. Postmodernism is a most important research topic and must be allowed to see all kinds of contents, with which postmodern artist deal. Stifters postmodern view, even if it is only available in an external link, must enter the "diskurs"!

I am bitterly disappointed how some Wikipedia editors seem to know more about postmodernism than the real artists.

I received a message regarding this image to my talk page: Images:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_images/2007_October_9#Image:Siberian_Shaman.jpg You have tagged these image as possibly being unfree. As I have already stated: as the author I am with in my rights to place them under the GFDL images category. To clarify I am the author of the images posted on Wikipedia. I am not Sivkov.

Respectfully, DebrayR—Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.176.169.21 (talk • contribs) 18:32, 10 October 2007

It is clear to me that since this person is not the artists Sivkov, even if they did take the photograph, they cannot release it under the GFDL because the subject matter/content of the photograph is copyright. That's like saying I could simply photograph the Wal-mart logo and then use it for my business because I was the creator of the photograph. I'll try to contact the user to explain this.-Andrew c [talk] 22:38, 10 October 2007 (UTC) Here is some more info. The person claims that they bought the artist's work and that they own this painting. That changes thing, but I am not familiar enough with copyright law to know if transfer of ownership applies here (it probably does. I know that it's highly probable that IBM owns their own logo, not the artist who created it Paul Rand).-Andrew c [talk] 23:09, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Question
Hi Freshacconci. I'd appreciate your thoughts regarding edits such as this. Is there a good rationale for me to delete such images? My concern is that artists will insert their drawings, presumably copied from published photos, into biographies of famous personalities. These images may be self-promoting and of varying quality. If I am wrong, I will restore such images. Thanks, JNW 04:03, 17 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your response. I had noticed Modernist's reversion of the Picasso portrait, agreed with the action, and did likewise to several other drawings inserted by the same artist. When I subsequently looked for policy on images, it seemed that Wikipedia invites people to use their own drawings and graphs, as well as photos that do not distract from the relevent content. At face value, however, this would suggest the hornet's nest we are wary of. Thanks again for your reply. JNW 17:45, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding article James Brooks(painter)
Hi Freshacconci!

It appears that you care for the correct presentation of articles therefore I thought you may want to make a change by reverting two edits from the article: James Brooks (painter). I would be happy to add documentations to the article but not in the present state.

1. Second line in “Biography:” "crazy man to Jackson Pollock…"

James Brooks was a good friend and neighbor of Jackson Pollock and his wife Lee Krasner in Springs, East Hampton, Long Island. The description: "crazy man" makes no sense in the sentence! crazy man - it is an opinion without documentation.

2. Last sentence in “Biography: What most people do not know is that he was a homosexual."

In the context of the article the description of James Brooks’ sexual orientation without proper reference is absurd.

I checked in “history” to learn who was responsible to the additions and I found only IP: []

I suppose that these words make no difference to the great works of art that were created by James Brooks. Nevertheless if the intension is to guaranty that Wikipedia remains an encyclopedia it is necessary to revert these changes. I hope you can help to carry out these corrections. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely Yours, (Salmon1 20:06, 29 October 2007 (UTC))

LowBrow Art Movement additions
Thank you for your comments re my additions to the LowBrow Art Movement. Whilst I understand the policy re extra links and additions to any pages, I did not consider my additions to be vandalism.

How else may I spread the word of the growing appreciation of this movement?

Revertion of some editing in article Expressionism
Hi Freshacconci!

The correction of your editing by Modernist:

(Later in the 20th century, Expressionism influenced and related to a large number of artists and movements. The abstract expressionists, consisting primarily of American artists, Tachisme of the 1940s and 1950s in Europe and in the United States and Canada Lyrical Abstraction beginning in the late 1960s and the 1970s were all expressionist movements)

I suggest that it be reverted to its previous state:

(Later in the 20th century, the movement influenced a large number of other artists, including the abstract expressionists, the latter consisting primarily of American artists such as Jackson Pollock. The neo-expressionists were a revival movement in Germany beginning in the 1970s and centered around artists Anselm Kiefer and Georg Baselitz.)

For the following reason:

The editing by Modernist has no connection to the article Expressionism.

Expressionism generally referred to figurative expressionism while non figurative expressionism is known as Abstract Expressionism in America or Abstraction Lyrique in Paris or sometimes referred to as Taschisme 1945-1960. Wikipedia is an important source of information for a great number of people and it is necessary to maintain quality. If you find it necessary to further justify the importance of the above deletion or rather reversion to its previous state I can do so. Sincerely Yours, (Salmon1 21:28, 31 October 2007 (UTC))

Reply
Hi Freshacconci! You were just a God send to us. Your letter just came in at the right time. My husband and I were barraged by the e-mail comment of User:Tyrenius. You can find my reply on his User talk page. I deleted my e-mail address as of today. It is appropriate to write to me on an open forum while I have to do the same. It is amazing the time that it can take to create a defense to a warning of no crime committed.

Having been a highly trained NIH fellow for many years, at The Rockefeller University and Yale University as a post doctoral fellow, I thought that nothing could faze me. What is important in this experience is that everything requires a new skill set. Although my training might have been beneficial in comprehending the cause of events yet it did not equip me to be relaxed about it.

I realized many years ago how contemporary art finds its way to the public.

My assessment was that even good artists had a hard time to make their way because of the heavy elbowing of the mediocre ones. I have decided early on that I would stand by equality of exposure. Years ago one famous, now very famous artist who was my friend said to me: “You know my dear you should not dilute us.” He meant that I should only include them. I did not follow his advice. Lately I was told by many people, collectors and artists alike, that I have influenced American art history for the better. It does not mean that I am inclusive without exercising my own judgment but I never burden anyone with it.

I was trained by my father an art historian - specialized in early renaissance - how to look at works of art for which I am forever grateful. My activities have been very helpful to the public at large and have been a joy for me. Wikipedia is just a perfect forum for me. I am willing to work hard because it gives me the opportunity to share my information with the public.

I never thought that people can be so very hurtful under the protection of anonymity. As far as I am concerned everyone is normal as long as they do not hurt others or themselves. But the line has to be drawn.

I read your user page and I thought that your artistic and academic training could be valuable in a collaboration of articles if you wish to try. Although I am new to Wikipedia I can be a useful collaborator in many aspects of American or European art. I hope this was not too long winded reply. I thank you again for your kind and encouraging words. Best regards, (Salmon1) —Preceding comment was added at 03:22, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I need a little help
Hi Freshacconci! I do not understand what is happening. If you have a minute please help me to understand it. On November 7, I received a message by an editor: Anastrophe. See on my Salmon1. It was tough and especially it made no sense. I replied to him and he also replied to me on the discussion page of Abstract Expressionism. I decided that I would add him to my watchlist but I am incapable to add his site. I tried in many ways but it appears that if you add User: Anastrophe it will show that it does not have a “site” since it remains red. I am not very clear but I cannot put this editor on the ''wachlist.’’ Do you have any understanding in this matter? Thank you for your attention. Sincerely Yours, (Salmon1 20:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC))


 * Freshacconci, I hope you don't mind but I've answered Salmon1's question and said hello. They seem to be running into some difficulties so I've referred them to Adopt-a-User. Hi by the way - I don't think I've contributed to your talkpage before!--Ethicoaestheticist 22:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Not Vandalisim
Your statement is understandable but not entirely applicable to the artist or his work. This warning put forth by you was expected to achieve an avenue of reference for verifiability of this very rare art style. It is reasonable for you to act in the manner that you have; because of your academic vaults of commitment to your reputation. The artist is real RODNEY N. LESTER ( you can cross reference with Mike Eppel CNN News Personality and Mike Wixson, once known as (MOBILE MIKE) from CHYM Fm in Toronto) The artwork is real, ( a public viewing in may 2008 Kitchener-Waterloo Region will be available for schedule in January 2008 ) and the artistic Style is real, ( thought this style was developed by RODNEY N. LESTER in 1986, it was only introduced this year (2007) to exposure. ) This explains why you may not of heard of it before. It is rooted in abstract art styles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.230.253 (talk) 22:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

British Invasion
I removed the US POV box because it was not relevant. Although the article describes an American event (shared by a few other nations mentioned in the article), I do not think, after reading the article carefully, that it presented an American point of view. 76.205.104.33 04:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanx
I am behind other articles such as concoction and they still stand proud while no one ever threatened to delete them. I don't know why NyLon triggered such violent reactions as if this article were vermin or something. Let's analyse the merits and defects of NyLon cool headed and then reach an outcome.

Concretism was an avant-garde movement with Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg and others. Without concretism there is no mail art. Look concrete poetry and concrete painting. I jus wanted to help.--Andras szokolay 07:01, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Your restoration of junk do not appear to be constructive and should have been reverted. Don't blindly revert anons' edits. --74.13.128.247 (talk) 11:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Deleting junk is clean up, not vandalism. Archiving is not necessary for junk. Actually, the last section I removed was itself silly vandalism by someone else. And the second last should be on WP:ERRORS and routinely removed after fixes are done. I have to go now. Go do the right thing, pal. --74.13.128.247 (talk) 11:18, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Please be accurate.
You last Reply Then you will have to report me. I didn't attack you or threaten you. Warning for disruptive behaviour are not attacks or threats. freshacconcispeaktome 23:42, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

My response: I did not say you attacked me. I said "name calling" which you did by saying I was close to "troll behavior" or "personally attacking you" and accusing me of "harrassment" is a threat. I have reported you. Other2 (talk) 00:10, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Other2 (talk) 00:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Other2

Dispute
PLEASE. If you spend SO much time policing this site, at least do justice to the plagiarised artist & use your wiki know-how to tell the truth. I do not agree with your reverts. The information is factual. I would prefer if you would work with me to estblish the "wiki" way of presenting info instead of deleting facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.25.17.133 (talk) 20:22, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I would really appreciate you refrain from accusing me of starting an editing war. We could be saving alot of time righ tnow if instead of COMPLETELY deleting the facts, you would have went in & made the necessary changes to the article. I refuse to believe that you do not think that Fairey has plagiarised other artist. It is plain to see! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.25.17.133 (talk) 20:27, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I need help editing.
THANK YOU!!!!! Please HELP!!!!!!! I need to make these facts wiki-proof. There is WAY too much fact out there about Fairey. I think that it is my duty to make this information public / wiki-proof. From fellow canadian to another, I sincerely appreciate you offering to help. I have been researching for almost 2 years now about this subject. I write pretty well. I just do not have in-depth knowledge of the wiki. I really want to edit this article. I am very very serious. Here is my e-mail address just in case: emmelierobert@yahoo.ca

Please explain to me the first step I must take to make this info wiki-proof.

I am looking forward to your answer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.25.17.133 (talk) 20:38, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, I apologize for reverting incessently & accusing you of vandalism.

Wikipedia can be very frustrating when you know that the information you are providing is factual, but wiki experts like you keep on blocking & deleting & reverting.

If I had more time on my hands I would become a wiki expert myself. But I am a mother, provider, etc... babies, dogs, husbands & mortgages.... I speak the truth about Fairey.

I need to hook up w/ a wiki-expert that can see what I am trying tyo accomplish & help me out a bit.

thanks, Emmelie emmelierobert@yahoo.ca —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.25.17.133 (talk) 20:41, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time. I will read the 5 pilars & othe info you sent. I use wikipedia daily as a source of information and absolutely do appreciate the acuracy. But as you can see in this particular case, the article in question is not exactly acurate 100%. I will do my best to act as an "expert" and make this article as truthful as publishings allow (in the rules of Wiki?)
