Thanks for uploading Image:Gnagyimage1.jpeg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are
open content,
public domain, and
fair use. Find the appropriate template in
Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. enochlau ( talk) 05:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm moving the article back to "Martin A. Uman". Wikipedia naming convention is that an article on a person is titled with just their name, not their title. It makes the article easier to find when searching. Thanks, NawlinWiki 22:32, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
I am sorry to undo your work but this article has previously been deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of American artists and should not be recreated unless there is a substantial difference to the original. You can read suggestions regarding it in the AfD. I suggest discussing any proposals on Talk:List of American artists. You might like to involve Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts. Tyrenius 23:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
If a user leaves a message proposing discussion, then it is best to discuss first, before acting, as this is a collegiate project. I do not object to a list in itself, merely the form in which it existed. The British list in date sections is much better. The original US list had no date sections. I think your new version was a great improvement, so well done on that, but I'm not happy with just one section for the twentieth century. This section will be by far the biggest and it will also attract all the non-notable entries. I think it needs to be broken into smaller segments, possibly of 25 years each. Please also post on Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts to involve the views of editors who are likely to be helping to maintain any such list. Let's get a consensus before setting something up which people might not be happy with. If you didn't keep a record of your new version, I can retrieve it if/when necessary. Tyrenius 01:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for restoring the lists of American artists, I've added some names, you've done a really good job. Congratulations. Modernist 12:19, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought I'd bring this edit to your attention. [1] It struck me that it would be useful if an artist was known as a particular specialist, as in this case, that the information was included. Other possibilities that occur are "portrait painter", "landscape painter", "German Expressionist", etc, but only where this was clearly the case. It would help readers to locate what they were interested in. Tyrenius 07:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Your additions to Jon Gnagy appear to be a copy of this web page, which identifies the source of the text as "the catalogue of "An Exhibition of Paintings and Litho-Drawings," Idyllwild, California, 1964". Please do not cut and paste the text of web pages or other materials to Wikipedia. Without permission to use this material this is a copyright violation. For more information, see Wikipedia:Copyrights. Thank you. Gamaliel ( Orwellian Cyber hell master) 16:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I have removed the majority of the text of this article that has been copied from www.caiguoqiang.com. Some of this text was included when you created the article. The artist is clearly significant and it should be possible to reinstate the main facts about him, but it should read like an encyclopedia article, not like publicity material. P.S Good work on the List of American artists.-- Ethicoaestheticist 20:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Urban Interventionism, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
