Too much copyvio in the footnoted quotes . Author should figure out what the quotes are saying and use his own words in explaining. MathewTownsend (talk) 21:38, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

over use of copy righted material

[edit]

I am concerned about the long quotes from authors in the footnotes. There are other long quotes in the footnotes also. Considering the shortness of the article, there is more information in the quotes in the footnotes than the article itself. The editor of this article should have taken more time to integrate the information in the footnotes into the article, using his own words. MathewTownsend (talk) 15:21, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Waldman 1993 is also quoted extensively in other, related articles, e.g.Golf Ball and Yellow and Green Brushstrokes, Girl with Ball, Whaam!, Bedroom at Arles, Girl in Mirror, Artist's Studio—Look Mickey, Little Big Painting, Drowning Girl and others.MathewTownsend (talk) 15:45, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have, in this series of edits, removed what are deemed to be copyright violations: such lengthy quotes are not in accordance with guidelines for proper use of non-free content (I have no reason to believe that the books cited are free to use in this fashion). I have also removed the non-free tag, as well as the lengthy quotes given above by MathewTownsend which repeat the violation. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 00:31, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
