Permission has been granted from the source of all articles that are included on my contributions. I have the release for content from the author: Saatchi Gallery.

Confirmation of permission
I noticed that you have been creating a series of articles (Wangechi Mutu, Jonathan Meese, Lothar Hempel, Stefan Kurten, Daniel Richter, and others) were you claim that Saatchi Gallery, the copyright holder for the added material, has granted permission to release the text of these articles under the GFDL. To confirm that this is true please follow the directions at Confirmation of permission so that the Wikimedia foundation may have a copy of the permission on file. --Allen3 talk 14:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Question
Dear Allen3 many thanks for your message, I am a webmaster at the Gallery and would like to include these artists as well as others on the Wikipedia site. Would it be suitable to include a license statement of the website that I can upload or do you need written permission as well? Ktm10 14:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * A statement on your website that the material has been released under the GFDL would serve as well as a letter to the Wikimedia foundation. --Allen3 talk 16:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

An important note
I was going to caution you about issues of copyright and material taken from external web pages; however, it seems that that particular issue has already been dealt with. What you may not be aware of, however, is one of the other axioms of Wikipedia, the one that's at the bottom of every page just below the editing window:

"If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it."

This is a very nice article about the art of Jonathan Meese, but a) it's not very much about Meese himself, and b) it's definitely not in encyclopedia format. It's going to be rewritten: I feel certain that most of the material will be deleted, and the remainder will be boiled down to a more neutral, plain version.

You can't prevent this from being done. By releasing it under the terms of the GFDL, you explicitly allow it. Bear that in mind, okay? DS 15:23, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I rewrote all of your articles
Ktm10, I have removed the text of your Dana Schutz article and replaced it with a stub article stating merely that Dana Schutz is an artist in new york. You may feel free to rewrite the article, but it needs to read like an encylopedia article. If you want to create more articles, or rewrite this one, I would suggest looking at wikipedia articles on other well known painters to see what a wikipedia article should look like. --Xyzzyplugh 00:12, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

And I've now done the same to all of your other artist articles. This may not be the best welcome to wikipedia, but welcome anyway. --Xyzzyplugh 00:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for the various comments recieved, I am grateful for the guidelines and will use a more appropriate formatting for additional artists Ktm10 09:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
