License tagging for File:Portrait of Hervey White by Bolton Brown.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Portrait of Hervey White by Bolton Brown.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

 * Hello Pastrychick, I have given an additional reply at Media copyright questions. —teb728 t c 09:35, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Hervey White
Thank you for creating Hervey White, a valuable contribution to Wikipedia The writing is crisp and engaging. Your skill with the citations far surpasses my knowledge when I was a newcomer. Thank you very much for your work! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. I made several revisions to the article (which you can see here), which were mainly stylistic changes per Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Best regards, Cunard (talk) 02:01, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Pastrychick. You wrote at File:Portrait of Hervey White by Bolton Brown.jpg that you have the copyright holder's permission to use the images on Wikipedia. Would you send an email to about the images? Wikipedia's Volunteer Response Team handles authorizations to post copyrighted material. Please e-mail the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum the form at CONSENT and then forward it to the Volunteer Response Team to grant permission to reuse the images. Best regards, Cunard (talk) 04:41, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Pastrychick. Realize that the date of the image you have shown there (1920) precludes it from having a copyright at all if it was made prior to 1923. Even if it was after 1923, it would need to have a visible copyright marking as well as a registration with the U.S. copyright office. In all likelihood, this falls under into the public domain due to failure to comply with copyright laws. Buffs (talk) 17:26, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Pastrychick. It seems everyone is trying to give you advice... Let me just answer the question you asked directly: to add a "non-free use rationale" (NFUR), just go to, scroll down to "Summary" and click on the blue "[edit]" button which is on the right. Then just type in your rationale after the text that appears in double curly brackets - be careful not to damage any of it. It is extremely confusing that the summary contains a template called NFUR when in fact that's only the short version, and there is no indication that you're meant to actually TYPE STUFF after it. Dreadful design. But there it is.

Now, it seems that Wikimedia don't like consent declarations other than proper Creative Commons licenses, so there's a lot of fuss going on. It may be fine if the copyright holder fills in such a license. Since as Buffs says above, the artwork is pre-1923, it may be easier to forget about uploading to Wikipedia (with a P) at all, and instead to upload it to Wikimedia Commons (no P anywhere) which ONLY holds FREE STUFF. All you have to do is upload it again, choosing Upload to Commons, and to declare truthfully that it's free of copyright and attach the right tag which is — "for images published in the U.S. before 1923 or in some other cases". (See WP:TAGS/PD). I'm sorry all this is so ridiculously long, but I hope it may help. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:23, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
Hi Pastrychick, I've done a little work on the article (mainly formatting, like using bold for the first occurrence of the subject's name in the lead sentence, and marking section headers in the customary Wiki style, i.e. ==Header==) – and moved it into mainspace, so it's now available to the reading public.

I've also added a sentence about the Moonlight Bathers image, which you were notified above was tagged and removed from the article by a bot. The reason was that according to Wikipedia's non-free content criteria (see Nfc), fair-use images must not be used for article illustration alone, but must illustrate a salient point in the text. In this case, this was no problem, as the image is indeed mentioned in reliable sources as both one of Bolton's best, and characteristic of his Tonalist style. I've added a non-free use rationale for the file's use in this biography (note that a separate rationale is required for each page the image is used on; for further information, see Non-free_use_rationale_guideline).

If you're ever in doubt about fair use criteria, the best person to ask for advice is User:Moonriddengirl; she is very knowledgeable about this side of Wikipedia (far more so than I am). To see a "diff-link" or summary of my edits, click here.

If I can help you with anything, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. Best, -- J N  466  05:33, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Bolton Brown images
I saw your post on Skier Dude's talk page. It would appear that both of the Bolton Brown image that you have used under the fair-use claim may actually in the public domain having been produced before 1923 in the US per PD-US if they were published before 1923. I also note that in at least one image you claim permission from WAAM, but fair-use is claimed when there is no permission. It's either one or the other, never both. If you have freely licenced permission, get the copyright holder to email us their verification by following the procedure found at WP:CONSENT. If their permission is restricted to non-commercial, which the image says, then that is not a permission we accept, so in essence there is no permission given, so one should not even mention it.

For File:Sketch of Mount King by Bolton Brown.jpg I have added the information template and maybe you can review what I added. BTW, we don't usually attribute the source in the image captions. My comments are intended as constructive criticism to understand some of the issues involved. You may find it useful to read my image copyright information page as well as Quadell's US copyright page. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 18:55, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

DYK nomination
Pastrychick, would you mind if I nominated Bolton Brown for a Main Page appearance? The article should then appear in a few days' time on the main page in the WP:DYK section, for a duration of 8 or 12 hours. As a suitable hook, I would suggest –

Did you know that ... American painter and lithographer Bolton Brown was the first to climb Mount Clarence King?

The nomination has to be made within five days of the article being moved into mainspace, so we still have a couple of days. Best, -- J N  466  07:26, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jayen466, Of course I wouldn't mind the nomination. And the hook sounds perfect. Thanks much,Pastrychick (talk) 17:40, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Pastrychick, I've now created the nomination at Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Bolton_Brown. Could I ask you to add it to your watchlist, just in case there are any questions from the reviewer?

You can find the nomination listed at Template_talk:Did_you_know. It usually takes from a day to a week before it is reviewed. Best, -- J N  466  12:28, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jayen466, I've added the above to my watchlist (I think...I'm very new to WP and don't entirely know the ins and outs of procedure). Thanks much,Pastrychick (talk) 15:50, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * No prob! :) To add something to your watchlist, click on the white star symbol near the top of the page (the star is the default appearance; if you don't see any star, click on "Watch" instead). When clicked, the star rotates and turns blue, and you'll then get a confirmation message that the page has indeed been added to your watchlist. (To remove something from your watchlist, click the blue star symbol again; it will then rotate and turn white again, and a message will appear, confirming that the item has been removed from your watchlist. Further info on watching pages is available at Help:Watching pages.)
 * User:The Interior has left me a message on my talk page and has posted some comments and improvement suggestions to the nomination page, which we should look at. Best, -- J N  466  00:23, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Howdy JN466, I made editorial changes suggested by The Interior. Not sure if I'm supposed to contact him/her, or if I can just carry on (um...planning my next WP article, in addition to a trip). As of Friday, I'll be without Internet for a week so any questions regarding Bolton Brown might go untended, but not for lack of Wikipedia-love. Thanks for all, Pastrychick (talk) 16:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Pleasure, and I'll bear your absence in mind in case there are further queries. As for letting The Interior know, you could leave a brief note and/or diff link of your edits on the nomination page, or his user talk page, just in case s/he doesn't have the article watchlisted. Best, -- J N  466  00:06, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
