Information
|
- Particularly likes art, books, languages and history.
- Holds a D. Phil. in Literary Biography from the University of Oxford.
- First edit was to Frances Carpenter's wiki page, then in stub form, soon followed by creating the article for Frances's unfortunate brother, sprinter John Carpenter.
- A peripatetic Wikipedia writer, with a magpie approach.
- Respects Wikipedia's copyright limitations regarding images, but feels they are often improperly and inconsistently applied. "Fair use"--it's a legitimate thing. It's not right that artists like Pablo Picasso (d. 1973) have all sorts of images up--very obviously still under copyright, and artists like Josef Albers (d. 1976) have practically nothing.
- Artists of the 20th and 21st centuries need to have their copyrights protected, but Wikipedia HAS NOT found the appropriate balance for so doing. Representative examples for historically important artists of the mid 20th century like Stephanie Scuris or Jane Davis Doggett or Leon Polk Smith or Robert Engman, artists doing their best work in the 1960s and 70s should be included, for educational purposes, on their articles. It is not right that representative samples of their work--major artists, but not widely known--are disallowed by the Wikipedia protocols. Such examples are neither copyright infringement nor self-publicity for these artists, who, over more than half a century, have proven their enduring significance.
