[edit] Categories

Hello! Thanks for your message. Generally, you do have to use categories as you find them; however, the one you mentioned was up for renaming, since "realist painters" is more sensible and encyclopedic than "realism painters"; the article on Alton Tobey got picked up in the renaming process! There's a whole process at Wikipedia devoted to finding inappropriate or incorrectly-named categories, and considering whether they should be deleted or renamed. It's at WP:CFD. --RobertG ♬ talk 12:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Alton S Tobey Sailboats.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alton S Tobey Sailboats.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 22:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: IP 172.129.254.23

Unfortunately there isn’t much we can do right now because the following requirements have not been met:

  • They have not vandalized very recently (past 24 hours), nor since the last warning test3 or test4.
  • The vandal has not received the full range of test warnings recently.

But if they vandalize two more times (within 24 hours) and given a test3 or test4 they can be reported to WP:AIV--1568 05:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I was a bit surprised

to see Hans Schuler show up on the Sculpture of the United States article, so i dug out my Art in Baltimore:Monuments and Memorials and looked him up. I think you'd have a much better argument for including him in the Public Monuments section if you were to include a photo of one of his pieces. Rusk makes Life of Man is but the Turning of a Leff for the Krug memorial in Loudon Park Cemetery sound very interesting, but anything would do. I am about the replace two of the other pictures in that section that are NOT public monuments with ones by the same artists that are. Let's keep moving this important (opinion) article forward.

Going to the library might or might not help find a photo to use. Anything published after 1923 is not allowed. I have a shot of the Oppenheim memorial by Schuler that was published in 1924. Oh well. I'm going to try and post a list of Schuler's cemetery memorials. It might be an interesting day to do a Pilgimage and photo them all. I consider days like that to be my Art form . . ... rather than viewing them as suffereing for it. But then, it's what i love to do. Most of the pictures in the Sculpture of the US article were taken in the Chicago Museum of Art by the fellow who started the article - which is okay but has led to a sort of sameness that I'd like to bust up a but. It makes it seem as if all American art is in museums - and that's not how i see it. We'll see where all this takes us. Carptrash 05:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Old Hans is coming along quite nicely. I emailed a photographer who had a nice shot of his Sidney Lanier monument, but won't hear from her, I imagine, until after the holidays. Life is good. Carptrash 16:05, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
