 This is your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss things with them. At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. My name is Buster7. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information. Good Luck editing! | |||

June 2012[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Japanese art, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

The article List of psychedelic album covers 1960-1980 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- This list is severely incomplete.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. PKT(alk) 16:20, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for October 17[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Contemporary art, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New Yorker (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Matnatlak—you say "Soft Power really does have something to do with what curators like". I don't think contemporary art is primarily concerned with Soft power, which I find to be a vague notion in relation to the activity that goes on in the art world. The explanation embodied in the notion of "soft power" can be more or less applicable to some contemporary art activity. If enough sources comment on this perhaps it warrants a separate article. You mention "the widespread suspicion that the CIA used Abstract Expressionism to promote notions of US mystique and sophistication." This might warrant its own article. I don't know how substantially sources support that topic. Bus stop (talk) 02:41, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

"An art movement is a tendency or style in art with a specific common philosophy or goal, followed by a group of artists during a restricted period of time, (usually a few months, years or decades) or, at least, with the heyday of the movement defined within a number of years. An art style refers to the visual appearance of a work of art that relates it to other works by the same artist or one from the same period, training, location, "school" or art movement. Matnatlak (talk) 12:56, 22 October 2012 (UTC)"
Copyright violation on Contemporary art
Re: Information you removed from Contemporary art. I took that information from the Wikipedia articles Art movement and Style (aesthetics). I didn't go to a blog. Why haven't you removed that text from the latter WP articles? Matnatlak (talk) 13:00, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Australian Art editing[edit]
Firstly, a huge thanks for all the work you've been doing on the Australian Art page during this year - with no support from anyone else either, by the look if it.
I have thought to improve it myself, and have added a section on the Talk:Australian_art page, describing some things that I think would be good to improve the article. Please let me know what you think. Since I have a book out on the Interwar years, I may start with those sections. Let me know if there is anything specific I could help with here. Cheers.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Australian art may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

- comparable internationally recognised male sculptor is represented with Robert Klippel 1218 works;)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of psychedelic album covers is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Do we have anything on them yet? They seem to be at an odd level between "recognised" and "written about". I like what I've seen, but there's nothing as a bio. Fancy writing one? Andy Dingley (talk) 15:58, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
I'll look into it. Surveys of precisionist painters are happening from time to time. The influential art critic Robert Hughes was a fan of Charles Sheeler so more wider and more detailed studies of precisionism are inevitable. Sandor Bernath could be listed in a Who Was Who in American Art. Matnatlak (talk) 00:43, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
