Glad to see it so radically improved from it's earliest drafts. If the article had this info when I first looked at it, it wouldn't have been tagged. If you create other pages in the future, I'd suggest you show the aspects of renown and notability from the beginning to avoid this kind of situation again. Cheers!

There's no doubt he is a notable artist. He was on my "to do" list in fact. Good to see the article up. Tyrenius (talk) 00:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Tyrenius, many thanks for excellent editing. I changed Ionesco link back to Eugen Ionesco because that goes direct to the absurdist playwright - please feel free to alter if that is wrong. Will get you the statement re. public domain on the patrickhughes website, which does not move quite as quickly as wikipedia.

Heartfield01 (talk) 00:27, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks on both counts. It is a precaution to protect the artist, as images are often uploaded under false licences (I'm not suggesting that is the case here). An alternative validation method would be an email from the address on the Patrick Hughes site to permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org confirming the images are legitimately released with the relevant licence; links to the image pages should be included in the email, and a link to the PH site contact page. The Ionesco change is correct; I've piped it to keep the previous text. I've uploaded a diagram of Vanishing Venice: you might be able to confirm if it is correct.

The article can be considerably expanded, if you have time and inclination. The main points to remember are state facts and reference them, avoid praise, generalisations and personal knowledge. Any analysis or evaluation should only be derived from published sources and again referenced. More images are welcome and can be put in a gallery also, as in Matisse#Gallery. Model articles can be seen at WP:FA.

Hail Tyrenius. You should have the confirmation emailed to permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org as you requested now. Heartfield01 (talk) 14:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
