I wrote the Wikipedia article on William Garnett that you have flagged for possible copyright problems. I believe that I have followed all Wikipedia guidelines in writing this article and that I did not violate any copyrights. The copyright flag you posted indicated that I should assert my copyright on the William Garnett talk page, but the link to that page indicates that there is no such page. Therefore, I am posting my reply to your page.
My primary source for the article is "William Garnett Aerial Photographs," 1996, published by the University of California Press. Other sources include recent obituaries in the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle and an artist profile at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu.
There are 21 factual assertions about William Garnett in my article and each fact is corroborated by at least two of the reputable sources mentioned above. Most facts are corroborated by three or four of the sources. As a postscript to this note I have listed the 21 facts and then included an indication of what sources corroborate that fact. After that listing I include links to these online sources and a bibliographical reference to the book I cite.
If you consult these sources you will see that I have not violated any of their copyrights. I have simply laid out the salient, skeletal facts of William Garnett's life in the chronological order in which they occurred, according to these sources.
I hope you will examine the sources I have cited, agree that there are no copyright violations and remove the copyright flag from the article.
Sincerely,
H Lewis

If the article cites these sources (see Wikipedia:Citing sources) I have no objection to removing the copyright tag. I apologize for being suspicious, but a first time user who posts a high quality article with no sources immediately raises such suspicions due to frequent problems we've had with copyright violations in the past.
