[edit] External links

FYI the thing to type under external links is as follows:

*[http://www.nameofsite.com Description of site]

This will appear as:

The trick is the space after .com - then following text shows on page.

[edit] Godfrey Blow

Hi, great work on Godfrey Blow and Stuckism in Australia. I'm doing a bit of tweaking, but I don't want to tread on your toes here. You seem to be fairly new to Wiki and mastering the complexities of it all - well done. I thought there might be a few options you hadn't discovered yet. Things can always be changed back. I'm working on contemporary art and artists, particulary the Young British Artists and the Stuckists. Any input is welcome.

As you've got an interest in the Australians, any more information on those artists would be great - more biog data etc.

Oh, to reply, click on my name (below), then "discussion" tab at top of my page and "edit" and put new posts at the bottom of the page.

[edit] New to Wiki

You can start any new article you want. Either click on a link, or do a search. Both will bring up a page for you to start the article. Here is a tip:

Some of the coding on Wiki is difficult, or other things like categories might not be easy to discover. Find another article similar to the one you're working on, click the edit button, then copy the relevant code, categories, stub notice or whatever, and paste it into your own article, changing the text where relevant. You can do this with uploading pictures as well.

However, bear in mind that subjects of individual articles should have some notability about them. This can be shown by shows they have had, newspaper mentions and so on. Otherwise the article is open to challenge and sometimes can get deleted (there is a discussion/vote on this - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion).

However, don't worry about making mistakes, as everything is kept in the history and someone else can tidy up after you. I will keep an eye out, or you can let me know if there's anything new you've put up, or anything you want specific help about. You're doing a good job though.

Peter Fuller would certainly merit an article. Some of the other Stuckists may. It depends how much they've achieved. Regan Tamanui seems to be noteworthy as starting an international movement, and Godfrey Blow has enough shows and awards, as well as being exhibited in a national museum in the UK, so I certainly consider that makes him a noteworthy artist. I don't know Graham Wilson, but if you consider he merits an article, the best thing is to start one. Otherwise you might consider puttting more info on some individual artists into the main Stuckism in Australia article, as it's capable of a lot more expansion.

The more references you can put in an article the better. Check here User:Tyrenius#Useful_Wiki_pages for some useful pages of advice.

Wiki advice is "be bold" in you editing. You can also do edits to existing articles if you want.

If you put 4 tildes ~ after your message on a talk page, it signs your name and date automatically.

[edit] Naive John

After our previous communications, I've been keeping an eye on your edits for you. I pruned Naive John a bit under Wikipedia:Neutral point of view (NPOV) and also Wikipedia:NOR. Basically, one of the Wiki rules is that everything has to come from verifiable secondary sources that can be referenced, so personal interpretation isn't allowed. I hope you don't feel I'm treading on your toes, but someone else would do the same thing sooner or later. You're doing a great job and don't worry about "getting it wrong", as other editors will sort things out. Wiki is weak on art, compared with things like science and computing articles, so your input is valued. Thanks. Tyrenius 07:22, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Michmayhew.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Michmayhew.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 05:04, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mike Mayhew

Is the artist the same as the comic book illustrator? See "What links here". If not, we will need to disambiguate, which I will do. If so, then it needs to be made clear, which it is not at the moment. Tyrenius 14:19, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Resurrection

Hi, please note you (accidentally) uploaded a new image onto an image page which already had the name Resurrection (for a Greek icon) and overwrote it - making Spencer's image appear on the pages which linked to the name. I've sorted it out, and renamed the Spencer image as Resurrection(Spencer). Tyrenius 15:10, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, sorry about that. A message came up saying that there was an image of the same name and I wasn't sure what to do! Thanks for the assistance. VeraHutchinson 00:53, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Rename your image before you upload it, or if in doubt, cancel and start over. Tyrenius 01:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Odd Nerdrum

This link you added goes to a page where the images don't work. I haven't deleted it in case you have a way of fixing it. I think the external links are starting to get excessive, especially for the size of the article. External links should be kept in moderation, as article content is always preferred. Check out External links. Glad to see you back in the fray. Tyrenius 07:14, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nomination for admin

Well, that was a bolt out of the blue! Thanks very much for offering to nominate me as an admin. I put myself forward on 31 March, and, as recommended during that RfA, decided to give myself at least 3 months before I considered it again. Well, that will be up in a week's time, so the timing is right. However, I hope you don't mind if I think about this for a day or two, before giving you a definite answer, just to let it sink in. Tyrenius 03:08, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in getting back, but I wanted to let the prospect settle down. I would be very pleased to accept your offer. A recent discussion on AfD backlog has confirmed this. I've been closing (near) unanimous keeps, but bypassing others which only admins can close, so that would certainly be something to start on straightaway. Three months have passed since my previous RfA. I feel I've taken on board the comments made there and put them into practice, and have gained a proper understanding of consensus working, which I must admit was very alien to work I've undertaken in my other life. I had 1331 edits then, and I've over 4,500 now, so a lot more experience in wiki. I thought it might be of interest, just in case you hadn't seen the Xeni Jardin debate I got involved with through an RfC, it's here: [1][2].Tyrenius 04:31, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for nom. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked as it's opened up my previous nom. It needs to result in a page Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Tyrenius 2, so instead of nominating Tyrenius, you have to nominate Tyrenius 2, by the look of it. Thanks. Tyrenius 15:57, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA now in progress

Thanks again. It's sorted now. You can follow its progress on this page. Tyrenius 04:36, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Antonio López García

OK, I've merged the other article into this one. The other article now redirects to this one. You might like to check the new version. Tyrenius 10:58, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Antonio Lopez Garcia

Thanks for that, its good to have the one version. VeraHutchinson 13:01, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rfa successful

Since you last logged on, my Rfa has concluded successfully with a very strong 60/1/1 result. Thanks again for setting it in motion. If you need assistance, you know where I am! Tyrenius 20:13, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
