Digital art
sure, I can easily live without the image gallery, could stir up a bit of fuss though, a wider range of pictorial examples, of the various creative practices, is what I would like to see eventually. Measles (talk) 14:44, 17 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I appreciate your efforts, but I do not agree with the way the article is now configured. However, if you are prepared to accept that I will eventually flesh out - when I have time - the sections you have removed, I will accept the current layout, decline from reverting, and I'll remove the RFC.

re: George Brecht
Re your uploading of a picture in the George Brecht page, were you there and took the picture itself? It seems to be a performance in Amsterdam, around 1964? Could you please clarify? Franciselliott (talk) 22:22, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've checked the picture you uploaded out, and it dates back to a performance Brecht gave in Amsterdam, 1961. The photo is copyrighted to Royal-Foto, Klippan. I take it, since the image is badly bit-mapped and oddly cropped, losing all context from the original, that the work is not in fact 'created entirely by you.' Feel free to contest this, but otherwise I'll delete it from the page as inappropriately tagged. Franciselliott (talk) 21:45, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Re George Brecht, whilst obviously copyright law is torturous, scanning an image isn't enough to claim ownership, anymore than taping a Beatles album allows you to sell copies of Sgt Pepper to all of your mates. The person who took the photo will still hold copyright (unless s/he sold it to an agency, as seems to be the case with this one, being copyrighted by a Dutch news service.) The problem with mistagging then becomes 1/ someone else will upload the image onto Commons and from there anyone can use it freely, making Wikipedia seem Britannica's fanboy little brother, and 2/ any other, non-free uses will be deleted- in this case, all the other pictures on the Brecht site. Whilst I appreciate the effort to enhance the presence of Fluxus on Wikipedia, I think that the tags have to be carefully chosen. 'Non free media use rationale' should usually work. I haven't had anything that I've put up deleted. For living (or recently deceased) artists, it seems only reasonable. Someone has to have been dead for 70 years (ie, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, for instance) or for the work to have been published before 1923 (Tango With Cows, for instance) for pictures to cease being owned by whoever actually made them. Still, if you're up for increased Brecht presence, how about an article on the Yam Festival (see )? I still have it high on my 'to do' list, without having done it. Cheers.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:DavidPagel.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:DavidPagel.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
