Archivist of Art

April 2021

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:David Finn, from its old location at User:Archivist of Art/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 22:33, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Use of © and similar in image captions

Hello – I've noticed from your contributions the use of the copyright symbol (©) in image captions, such as here and here. I just wanted to give you a heads-up that per the Manual of Style on trademark and copyright symbols, copyright and trademark symbols – ™, ©, ® – aren't used in article text or citations, unless "unavoidably necessary for context".

Your contributions are wonderful – I love seeing museums collaborate with Wikipedia to make their collections more widely accessible, I wish more collections did as such – but since the copyright information for the images you've uploaded and added to articles is already listed under the 'Licensing' heading on Wikimedia Commons, it's not necessary to add copyright and attribution to the caption for each and every photo, and it can detract from an article's content if image attribution isn't 100% relevant to its subject.

I hope this makes sense; it really is a small detail, but it's the small details that prop Wikipedia up at times. Thank you for your contributions, and happy editing!--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 11:13, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
