- Hello, anybody at home? Can you please stop those image uploads? I told you, this will never work. Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:50, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, sorry to cause alarm. I completely understand why you felt the need to block me. Just to let you know, I've written a long, ca 2000 word wikipedia entry for these artists that discusses their work, including the images uploaded, comprehensively and I hope in a scholarly way, which will be informative and useful to people interested in their work. I would be happy to show you a draft copy of the entry so you can see exactly what I mean (I had planned to add it to their existing entry this afternoon). In order to properly explain each work, it requires an image. However, as you are aware, artists are very protective of the copyright of their images. While I am fully aware that this goes against the grain of the wikipedia ethos I feel that for the afforementioned reason, it is only fair that they are protected by using non-free images. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Matthew.
- Okay, thanks for your response. I'll unblock you and I'm looking forward to seeing your new article. I suggest you post that first, and then reconsider which images are truly needed. I'm afraid we'll still have to reduce it considerably (you were well over 20; perhaps four or five for a well-developed article would be justifiable – I guess you could do without the book covers, where presumably the cover is not really crucial for understanding the nature of the book, or for instance reduce to one the items that show the same shadow-trompe-l'oeil effect?) In any case, welcome to Wikipedia, and sorry if this got off to a bad start. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:32, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your understanding. I one other artist's entry - for Keith Coventry. As with Coventry, I am a real admirer of the work of these two artists and felt their entry was very skimpy. As you say, perhaps we can use less images but let's review when it's up. Best wishes, Matthew
- Thanks for your work on expanding the article. I've removed a few images though; hope you'll understand. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:39, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
No worries. I will need to change some of the text to take the image withdrawal into account. All I want to get across is the brilliance of their work. Btw, I am going to reinstate the portrait photo as it is in wikicommons and free fore everyone to use. Sue Webster has told me it is okay to use this and is sorting out the licence issue. Best wishes, Matthew
Hi there, I wonder if there is a fair use justification for photos of tim noble and sue webster's work. I have seen this on Damien Hirst's wikipedia page. Any advise you could give me woudl eb greatly appreciated. Best wishes, Matthew

Replaceable fair use File:Tim Noble and Sue Webster 2 shooters portrait.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Tim Noble and Sue Webster 2 shooters portrait.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:
- Go to di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
- 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. mechamind90 05:18, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for File:Truths_with_Multiple_Masks_Low_Res.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Truths_with_Multiple_Masks_Low_Res.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free 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. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our

File permission problem with File:Pietro Ruffo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Pietro Ruffo.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

Conflict of interest and paid editing in Wikipedia
Hi Matthew (I take it from your notes above, that this is what you go by). I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. Your edits to date make it appear that you might be doing publicity in Wikipedia for various artists. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.
Comments and requests
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. Unmanaged conflicts of interest can also lead to people behaving in ways that violate our behavioral policies and cause
As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).
Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. Here in Wikipedia such disclosures must be made explicitly. Would you please disclose any connections you have with people about whom you have edited, and specifically, if you have been editing for pay? After you respond (and you can just reply below), if it is relevant I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 04:29, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello Mcarse,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Johnnie Cooper for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
