A couple of problems
I ran into a couple of problems with the articles you are creating.
- For NAME and DEFAULTSORT you are using: Aroch, Arie, Israeli, born Russia, 1908-1974 It should be just: Aroch, Arie. Adding the other stuff messes up some of the parameters.
- You don't need to make dates a wikilink. 1945 should just be 1945.
- In the infobox, you add birth_date. Could you also add death_date?
- For both the birth and death in the infoboxes, use some templates. The templates get picked up by computer algorithms. So and example would be {{Birth date|1945}} {{Death date|1950}} Template:Death date has more information.
Looks like you are new. Wikipedia has a ton of little rules that make things daunting. Don't worry about as it looks like you are creating articles about important painters. If you have an questions, please do not hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Keep up the good work. Bgwhite (talk) 06:07, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
- I just left a message at User talk:Drkup. Everything I said there goes for you too as I want to see you succeed at adding new articles. Bgwhite (talk) 06:23, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

- We will also need verified permission for the following articles:
- Under the circumstances, it might be simplest to ask the museum to change their copyright statement so that it does not reserve all rights, but instead licenses the content so that we can use it. If they will not do this, they can send a letter as described above releasing the specific text. Otherwise, I'm afraid, we will have to remove it, as our copyright policy does not allow us to reproduce previously published text without verification of license. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:41, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
