The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Katherine Larson until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Levinge (talk) 17:47, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! We have decided to pull the importance level aspect of the WP:Public Art talk page tag. We have decided that it's too hard to judge the importance, following along the lines of other art based projects like Wikiproject:Visual Arts. Thanks for the work you're doing though! :) Missvain (talk) 18:29, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! Just curious, I saw that you updated the tags for both the United States and African Diaspora tags I recently placed on the Here I Stand sculpture. I usually don't update the projects I'm not involved in, but, perhaps you are involved in both of those too. What could be LOW on one wikiproject could be a C, or what could be a start, could be a stub on another project. Just letting you know :) Missvain (talk) 20:15, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

you beat me to the photo of "Here I Stand"Slowking4 (talk) 17:21, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

keeping on mind Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team; Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Assessment FAQ: "In general, anyone can add or change an article's rating. However, the "GA" and "FA" labels should only be used on articles that have been reviewed..."

class is class across all projects. there is a B class checklist, and Good and Feature consensus, but for C and below, it seems to me something is better than nothing, and if start for one, start for all; there are some bots that do this. and upgrade from stub to start is fine = grade inflation. i tend to give more weight to references and section headers, than the examples, and will lazily copy an underassessment. most projects don't seem to care about non-members assessing, except for ownership ones like Milhist.

for importance, yes, they are different among projects; while some don't use because it's too "i don't like it", i can see the usefulness, if you tied it to pageviews, to get priorities for an article improvement drive. you could also sort by articles lacking photos (phototag). (some information is better than none). it's part of a divide and conquer strategy for big problems. i don't know if it's better than randomly sprinkling improvement dust, but some people like a to do list.

I know you recently added a reference to the article in question to disqualify it from WP:BLPPROD however, because notability is not inherited and the subject's membership in the ensemble does not make him notable, I have nominated the page for deletion. Please feel free to participate in the discussion should you wish. Thank you Hasteur (talk) 00:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Figure-hepworth.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

A tag has been placed on File:Figure-landscape-title.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the file is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

Thanks for uploading File:Four-sided-pyramid-title.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:06, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Cubi-xi.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:24, 5 March 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 19:24, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Untitled-1969.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. N419BH 07:33, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Ivor Fox-Strangways Guest, 3rd Viscount Wimborne requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader.

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Geometric_mouse.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 11:48, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For your work on the Julie Robinson page, and your comments on the discussion. BlueThird (talk) 00:09, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Bonniejocampbell2.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Nice work on The Alarm (Boyle). BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 20:32, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I'm glad you started the John J. Boyle page. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 01:42, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would you have any objection to my changing the page title to John J. Boyle (sculptor)? I've never seen his name without the middle initial. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 15:21, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I may have gotten myself into something on this. Your link says there are over 900 outdoor sculptures in Philly. Another way of looking at the SIRIS database gave 724. I may pull out entirely, go slow, or just start making a few articles w/photos before getting involved in a "project." At least I have the database and a way to search it properly. A couple of things about the database and tables - where do the coords come from? Why can't I always find a date field (even if it is empty)? Is anything they photograph acceptable for being photographed for Wikipedia (re:copyright - I expect not)?

I noticed that you changed the caption to the Clark Mills equestrian statue of Washington. I am not sure that to call it "Lieutenant General George Washington" is entirely correct. According to the research I was able to do at this time, this statue is supposed to be of Washington reviewing his troops at Princeton in 1777. It's my understanding that in 1777 Washington held the rank of Major General, the rank of Lt. General not being given until 1798. Maybe I'm mistaken on this? Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 16:10, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

good point, the name is confusing, i was adding a link to the sculpture article. i am going by the Smithsonian database for the work here [4], but they have been known to be wrong, and we may not necessarily follow their name convention, if you change, please retain the link. Slowking4 (talk) 16:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct, the SI reference does seem to be incorrect. Maybe you could help me out with something...I am having a hard time finding a citable reference that states what Washington's rank actually was in 1777 at Princeton. I mean, I know what's true, but I need a verifiable source and all that. If you come up with a source, please post it here. I'll take care of correcting the caption and any other pertinent links. -Shearonink (talk) 20:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

i wouldn't get too hung up on the name. couldn't find another source that calls it xyz, that's the one to go by? found a webpage that says: "General and Commander in Chief" [5] (author is rev war roundtable dc member) i would suggest "George Washington (Mills)" for a rename. note that the uniform and hat don't correspond with trumbull, who was an eyewitness (so i wouldn't be surprised if artist conflated the rank as well).

There's an extra "T" in there...don't know how it disappeared along the way. *sigh* I wish I could remember why I know her name... --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:10, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for catch, i followed the misspelled red link from systemic bias. however the EC did bounce my edit, lost 2nd time (hate this old browser with no edit history recovery).Slowking4 (talk) 20:12, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A quick Google search suggests that it may be an alternate spelling (see the Phillips Collection website...if anyone should know it would be they). No worries - I fixed it up. I suspect I have a copy of one of her paintings hanging on my bedroom wall, and I could have sworn that she's in the NMWA collection, though their database says otherwise. No matter - I'll look tonight. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:15, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

that is their oversight. betcha i saw her at the chase exhibition NGA 1987 [6] Slowking4 (talk) 20:22, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bit before my time, that one, I'm afraid. I'm well familiar with her sister-in-law's work, though...that self-portrait really is impressive. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:24, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

misspelling at Spanierman, title different spelling from body, maiden name. influencial summer school, en plein air. need pic of phillips art. Slowking4 (talk) 20:30, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure there must be a free image around somewhere... --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:37, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
