You did a lot right! Thank you. - I reduced the caption to something practical - this will actually appear on the Main page if the image is chosen, can't have seven lines then ;) - I add the formal (pictured) to the hook which is interesting. I guess we'll go back and forth a few times about the article. Please write a bit in the lead about his art, and have a reference for some last facts of a paragraph. Check for repeated words and format all-capitals to normal even if the source has it that way. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:12, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Thank you so much and firstly I must apologize for taking so long to reply. I've been rather busy over the last month and just haven't found the time. I went ahead and made some minor changes to the article that I hope will iron out the majority of your concerns. CawheeTalk 15:56, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
No apology needed, we are in no rush for a certain date. Thank you for expanding, more would be nice, such as one line about the style/character of his art in the lead, always a source at the end of a paragraph (which can be the same as used before), and no ALL CAPITALs in a ref title. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:02, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
Is the image out of copyright? France has weird copyright laws, and he may be considered to have "died for France" giving him an extra thirty years copyright. We could fair use the image in the article, but not here. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:42, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
The image cannot be used for the nomination as it is not used in the article. (Only images that appear in the article can be used here.) BlueMoonset (talk) 01:49, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Thank you, both, for the clarification: Cawhee, I suggest you insert the image in the article, but we don't show it on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:52, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
This copyright wrinkle seems to apply to military personnel who died for France. This guy was killed by a government of France... and now his art has to remain hidden because a country that disowned him and let him die now says it died for him? That would be silly. This image is public domain on commons. Any debate should happen there. This guy was an artist and he and his friends all died - it was a genocide. Where should we fall ... on the side of caution? This is a PD image - let the guy's memory be appreciated. Victuallers (talk) 14:44, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
French sources accepted AGF. I duplicated a ref now. The musings about the image make much sense to me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:51, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
