Hi Bus stop - I think the Nailya Alexander Gallery is noteworthy, specifically as a venue for Russian avant-garde photography. The reason I wrote the article was because the gallery was mentioned in quite a few artists' wiki articles. I really appreciate your support for the article along with Randy Kryn, NotButtigieg, and J947. I don't understand how the article got relisted when there were no requests for deletion. I thought being the author of the article would imply Keep !vote. Should I vote for my own article? Best, WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 21:03, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi WomenArtistUpdates. If you are so inclined you might cast a vote but of course it's not really just a "vote" as reasoning is expected to accompany it. You might want to take a quick glance at Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Bus stop (talk) 21:55, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
Followup. You don't have to weigh in. It is contentious thing. And what it comes down to is significant coverage of the gallery itself, which doesn't seem to be available. I see that several of the artists (photographers) represented by the gallery have articles of their own on Wiki. Thanks for initiating the article, whatever the outcome of the deletion discussion. Bus stop (talk) 02:58, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi Bus stop, Thank you for the useful link to Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Very informative and also convinced me it is best for me to stay out of the fray. And thank you again for your work on the the article. It will be interesting to see the final outcome. Best, WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 18:21, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi WomenArtistUpdates—Thank you. Yes, it is at a weird stage. And to tell you the truth I too want to distance myself from it. Too contentious. I have been having these arguments for a long time over art gallery articles. They tend not to be sourced in the way that satisfies wiki policy on business entities.

Sorry for bothering you, but...
New Page Patrol needs experienced volunteers
New Page Patrol
is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the

National Serigraph Society
Thank you for creating the article on the National Serigraph Society! I've been meaning to get around to it for a long time, along with several similar pages. —Atvelonis (talk) 15:44, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi Atvelonis! I have become very interested in the mid century printmaking phenomenon. In the course of my research I went to the Archives of American Art, where they had a wonderful collection of the NSS newsletters. The artists were very proactive in building a market for selling their own work and also willing to share ideas with each other. They sold subscriptions where the average person could get prints on a regular basis. Can you imagine the collections?
I created the article for Atelier 17, which had previously been a redirect to Stanley William Hayter. I want figure out how to write an article on the 1940 MoMA show American Color Prints Under $10. What is on your to-do list? Best, WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 21:38, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Various... the
Hyman Warsager. The Creative Printmakers Group that Anthony Velonis and Warsager co-founded in 1939 too (I think it lasted until 1949, although I have not confirmed this), which printed works by various artists. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to find information on that. I know that Vincent Longo and Jackson Pollock were both somehow involved, as wereAdolf Dehn (example) and Federico Castallano. Very tangentially related groups like the Society of Glass and Ceramic Decorators, although I'm not sure if that qualifies for an article. Perhaps even an article on the Art and Progress magazine (which I think is the same as the Magazine of Art or American Magazine of Art, but I don't know which title would be best). I've done no substantial research or source analysis here, so for the time being it's all just a bunch of new paths! —Atvelonis (talk

Hi Atvelonis, the Public Use of Arts Committee looks very interesting. I ran into a mention of it when I was working on the article on Ruth Chaney. I don't see too much on the web, but if there were a membership list somewhere... WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:14, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
For sure. It looks like there is a journal article that talks about the Public Use of Arts Committee a fair bit, titled "Subway Art and the Public Use of Arts Committee." If I'm not misreading it, it would seem that it cites (pg 3)
Michael Quill, Vito Marcantonio, Abram Flaxer, Roswell Kent, and Lewis Merrill (presumably not this one). This document from the Museum of Modern Art refers to some art that the Comittee was associated with. A book titled Subway City: Riding the Trains, Reading New York talks about it a bit too (pg 151), probably relying on the Harrison article. (There are probably more sources out there, but I haven't done a super deep dive of JSTOR, Google Books, etc. yet, just a very quick skim.) —Atvelonis (talk

Replaceable fair use File:Casper Women’s Club House.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Casper Women’s Club House.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
Go to
Di-replaceable fair use disputed

On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy.
