== More for your list ==

Hello, Carptrash -- I saw your comment on [[User:Rothorpe]]'s talk page, and out of curiosity looked at your user page. Great page! I thought of a few additional words and phrases for your list: 

*There can be no doubt that...

*Indubitably,...

*I think we can agree that...

== Talk pages with no article ==

Hi. I saw your comment at ANI about [[Talk:Julia L. Jackson]]. If you see an article talk page with no corresponding article, the best thing to do is tag it with {{Tl|Db-g8}}, as described at [[WP:G8]], and that will add it to the list of speedy deletion requests - you might be surprised at how many times it happens!

==Image source problem with File:Lakewood 0.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|Image Copyright problem|link=]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Lakewood 0.jpg]]'''. 

This image is a [[derivative work]], containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. 

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. 

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Carptrash}} in your upload log]. '''Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the image is copyrighted under a [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|non-free license]] (per [[Wikipedia:Fair use]]) then '''the image will be deleted [[WP:CSD#I7|48 hours]] after 17:18, 19 June 2016 (UTC)'''. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion --> If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

:Yellin's own work became PD in 2010. There might be an argument for his collaborations with architects who haven't been dead 70 years, but their number is dwindling.

== Careful with grammar and syntax ==

Hi Carptrash. I'm Kevin, the interim EotW facilitator. I recently awarded the award to {{noping|SummerPhDv2.0}}, and I (a) wanted to let you know that I slightly reformatted the nomination text to make it more comprehensible and (b) wanted to ask you to take more care for future nominations. The full text of the nomination is presented directly under the award, and it's important that the EotW project be seen as professional and a prize that's actually worth something. Therefore, please ensure that your nominations are grammatically correct, that formatting is correctly done, and that there is more substance to the nomination than "this person is controversial but dedicated", ''before'' they are accepted and enter the queue to be awarded. Let me know if you need help on future nominations. All the best, '''[[User:L235|Kevin]]''' (<small>aka</small> [[User:L235|L235]]&nbsp;'''·'''&#32; [[User talk:L235#top|t]]&nbsp;'''·'''&#32; [[Special:Contribs/L235|c]]) 02:45, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

:Carptrash, my old friend, I hope you don't take offense at Kevin's message. I'm sure he sent it with the best of intentions. His bedside manner may need some tweaking but his good faith is well known. Your nomination was appreciated months ago when it was first presented and, had I gotten around to it, I would have vetted Editor Summer a bit and "pumped up the volume" and added some tid-bits of his editorial stats. I did it all the time for other nominations over the years. I just forgot to do yours.

Do you have more information on this , such as where it is and the original cast-maker? (from the photo it looked like a brnoze cast relief)? 16:08, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
:IS that you [[u|Sfan00 IMG]]?  Yes, this is part of a long, involved victory-out-of-tragedy story that I will write up some day.  Surely you are not worried about the copyright issues of a picture of me with a small part of something else in the background? [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash#top|talk]]) 16:23, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

:: Nope, I was wanting to note who the bronze maker was for descriptive purposes. And sometimes we all forget to sign postings [[User:Sfan00 IMG|Sfan00 IMG]] ([[User talk:Sfan00 IMG|talk]]) 16:25, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
:::Yes [[u|Sfan00 IMG]], it is human to forget. At my age this is not seen as a crime. The original of this was a plaster mural by [[Corrado Parducci]] in the Midland Theater in [[Midland, Michigan]].  When the wonderful [[art deco]] theater was destroyed in order to build a drug store (that was never built) the mural was - after quite a fight - saved.  [[Dow Chemical]], the makers of [[napalm]] and rulers of Midland, got involved and supplied the casting material to make a mold of the relief and made another plaster version that was repaired.  It was then shown at the local art museum in an exhibit that I was involved in as the Parducci "expert."  Then the repaired plaster was cast in bronze and erected in a local park. I hope that helps. [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash#top|talk]]) 16:36, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

: I thhink on the above basis, you've just demonstrated a good rationale for including it in article, as well as in your userspace, and even if it was challanged on copyright grounds, you have a very strong position for exerting 'fair-use'. 
[[User:Sfan00 IMG|Sfan00 IMG]] ([[User talk:Sfan00 IMG|talk]]) 16:49, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
::[[u|Sfan00 IMG]], well if I use it, actually,I'd use other better ones of it, the work was never copyrighted, and if that is automatic, it certainly was never renewed, plus I have somewhere permission from Parducci's son to use any images of his father's work in any way I wish, though I would be hard pressed to find it in writing.  But it is an interesting piece with an interesting story, perhaps I shall do an article.  Someday. [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash#top|talk]]) 17:07, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

== About GA nomination for the Wrecing Crew ==

I'd like to nominate the Wrecking Crew article for GA nomination in the next day or so, but I had heard somewhere that it might be possible to do a joint GA nomination.  I haven't found anyone who can tell me how that could be done (if possible).  I'm wondering if you may know how.  Because, if I only find the way, I'd like to dual-nominate the article along with you, as a thanks all of your efforts there and your constant encouragement.  If we cannot find a way to dual-nominate it, then, I could nominate it myself, but mention your name at the top of the review as a tolken of thanks.

I should also note that your user page is a work of art too.  I see that photo of your work station, decorated with those art books magnificently strewn about like a Jackson Pollack painting.

== Just Wonderin' ==

I noticed that one of the pictures on your user page has a photo of a band with someone on drums who looks a lot like you--and I know they must be from New Mexico, because there is an adobe house in the background.  So, I was wondering if that's you on drums and about the band.  Which also begs the question--when did you first start playing and what was your first band?  You may have been too young to have played in a band then, but... what were you up to roundabout 1966?  Do you remember bands like [[the Kreeg]], [[the Fe-Fi-Four Plus 2]], [[the Movin' Morfomen]], the Chob, or the Burgundy Runn?

[[File:Corsicana chase bldg.JPG|thumb|122px|right|Commercial Gothic]]
....bit of wisdom I stumbled over.  Trying to verify the architect of the somewhat-familiar-looking [[Kentucky State Reformatory]] ([https://raehodge.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/img_6845.jpg photograph here]) drew me to a 2015 online news source that says, with a breathless authority:  "His designs were known to incorporate the building and its purpose into an operational unit. He favored limestone because the horizontal lines reflected the essence of streamlined architecture and the corners of the building could be easily sculpted into linear curves reflecting the Gothic style of the 1930s."  Maybe we should establish an annual award for this kind of um incisive observation.  Who could we name it after?  --[[User:Lockley|Lockley]] ([[User talk:Lockley|talk]]) 04:05, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

== Interesting discussion at Garage punk talk page ==

There is an interesting discussion about synthesis at the [[Garage punk]] talk page, started by an editor we know well who sprinkled citations in the article with false "not stated in source" tags and seems to think that commonly understood and accurate generalizations about the form expressed in the article constitute WP:SYNTH.

Most of the added info appeared to be out of scope for the article so I reverted to the version straight before. (An easy way to do this is load up the previous revision through history, click edit when viewing that version, then save with no changes.) While some of them were style/layout edits, I cant say they were 'better' so didnt see a need to keep them. There might be a [[WP:MOS]] page somewhere that indicates in what order references/further reading go that would explain them.

:{{re|Only in death}} thanks vry much and thank you especially for the tip about editing in "history."  I always hope I won't need that sort of thing again, but it seems that i usually do use it later.  [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash#top|talk]]) 15:44, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
::Its basically a cut-price rollback on the article. Its not for general usage as it removes *all* edits since the older revision.

==Destructo84 deletions==
Thanks for the help. I'm not sure what to do about these. About half of them really ought to be deleted,   even tho the tagging was done in bad faith. I finally did decide to delete a few, leave the speedy tags on a few, untag a few altogether, and send the bulk of them to prod. I did this very quickly,and if you think I should have done otherwise, please tell me.   If you want to do differently than I,  just go ahead. This is an exceptional case. But someone should certainly have looked at these articles earlier!   (I decided to to block recreation of his draft--that's an exceptional measure I do very seldom--so he does have a way to go forward if he wants)  '''[[User:DGG| DGG]]''' ([[User talk:DGG| talk ]]) 20:01, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
:{{re|DGG}} I suspected something like that might be the case, but decided not to look.  That's what admins are paid the big bucks to do. (joke, even if in bad taste) I thought you did very well with this editor, I was just pitching in with my usual stuff to new editors, my version of "get your feet on the ground before you try jumping and at least know some of the rules before you break them."  As far as cleaning up the other articles that this editor pointed out, wikipedia is under siege by the commercial world and you are on the front lines.  For me to suggest what you should do from way behind the lines seems like the worst sort of arm chair quarterbacking to me.  If you are not an American and don't understand our sports analogies, change that to "back sear driving." [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash#top|talk]]) 20:11, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
::I live in NYC. Admin shave no special skill in judging articles.  I can & will deal with the editor, but I never want to make single-handed judgments on articles. Normally in speedy, I consider the tagger as having made a tentative judgement and asking me to confirm. When I find something worth speedying on my own, I just tag it, and let some other admin judge, and almost all admins do the same. In this case, obviously, I cannot trust the judgment of the tagger, even on a preliminary basis. If you and I agree, then that means something.

== W GR confirmation ==

Too bad about nothing getting submitted, I guess.  Confirming no, because there is no indication at [[wp:MPS]], altho that is incomplete, and I get no relevant hits trying "Washtenaw" and/or "Greek" and/or "Revival" at [http://npgallery.nps.gov/nrhp/LegacyAdvancedSearch?searchtype=natregadvanced NPS focus search site], which should be complete.  Via Michigan's interface, searching on Wm Anderson Hs's NRIS number, I can get to [https://catalog.archives.gov/OpaAPI/media/25340673/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MI/82002884.pdf this very-slow-loading PDF for Wm Anderson Hs], but that is from 1981, and the few other Greek Revival-looking ones at [[National Register of Historic Places listings in Washtenaw County, Michigan]] are all very old too.  Oh well.
That covers one passing remark, but I still have not processed all that you and G wrote back and forth at [[Talk:Second Empire architecture in Europe]].  I hope I am not irking either of you due to that.  Thank you for being flexible back and forth there. --[[User:doncram|<font color="maroon">do</font>]][[User talk:Doncram|<font color="green">nor</font>]][[Special:Contributions/doncram|<font color="maroon">am</font>]] 20:54, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Soviet art education was a thing of beauty.  I was once at a school that was lucky to obtain an art teacher who had been educated in Soviet Russia. Within a few weeks she had her students producing amazing stuff.  Then she was gone and they went back to plod, plod, plod.  I'm looking at ''the Art of Soviet Byelorussia'' now where I learn (after finding the English section)  that "The accomplishments of .......... can only be considered in in the context of the October Revolution." But then, next the painting of the happy peasants entitled ''Collectivization'' I find an amazing marble carving of [[Rabindranath Tagore]] (the only musician-poet to win the Nobel Prize for Lit before our man Bob)  that knocked me out.

==Found a pair of murals in the wild...==
...while on my lunch break.  My sometime office is around the corner from the [[William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building]].  Popping into the post office, what do my wondering eyes behold but two murals by [[Alexander Brook]] gracing the entryway?  These are almost the first two I've seen in place.

Talking of which: when I have a moment I need to look into it, but there should be ample material for a companion to the post office mural list detailing WPA artwork in other government buildings. --[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 19:58, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
:[[yo|Ser Amantio di Nicolao]]  So do you think such a list should be just murals or include all WPA artwork?  I say murals but . . . . .[[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash#top|talk]]) 21:00, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

::Depends.  If there's too much, it can be split into two lists; otherwise I'd incorporate everything into one list only.  I don't imagine there's much outside DC. --[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 15:07, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
:::I believe, {{yo|Ser Amantio di Nicolao}}, that your thought would land clearly in the [[failure of imagination]] pile. WPA art can be found in a wide variety of courthouses, federal and more local ones, as well as on university campuses, housing projects, schools, just all sorts of places.  I already started one list,  [[List of New Deal sculpture]], that includes both pieces found in USPOs (which were excluded from the [[List of United States post office murals]] article, and maybe better belong there?)  but I think a list of New Deal murals that excludes post offices would also be a good idea. Or should all the non-USPO WPA art be on one list?  It would be pretty large. [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash#top|talk]]) 15:55, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
::::Ah, yes - thought I'd specified ''federal'' government.  Sorry.  I didn't think there were that many WPA projects building ''federal'' buildings elsewhere during that time.

::::I'm easy either way, though.  Certainly a list of non-post office murals, and eventually I ''would'' like to see coverage of other WPA art.  Whether or not on the same list I don't think it matters that much. --[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 15:59, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
:::::So, {{yo|Ser Amantio di Nicolao}}, what would a list of non-post office WPA murals be called?  [[List of non-post office WPA murals]]?  Or maybe "New Deal" is better than "WPA" since it is a more inclusive term.  That's still sort of a bulky title. [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash#top|talk]]) 16:05, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
::::::Well, it should be "WPA" for starters, at least, since that's in the title of the other page - if one contains "New Deal", then both should.  I ''might'' suggest creating simply a "List of WPA murals" and then note that the post office list is broken out of that. That might be the best way to do it.--[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 18:57, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Unfortunately {{yo|Ser Amantio di Nicolao}}, not all the federal art projects of the New Deal were WPA projects.  For example, the [[Public Works of Art Project]] was not.  I think.  This is why I chose the "New Deal" option in the sculpture list.  In common usage today the term "WPA" is used in a broad sense to include stuff that might not have been WPA projects, but is that how we should proceed? [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash#top|talk]]) 22:36, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
::::::::Let me turn that on its head - were ''all'' the post office murals WPA projects?  Or were some non-WPA?

I think, without looking it up, that some of the early murals were NOT WPA projects, but this is without looking it up and that can be . . . ... less that ideal. [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash#top|talk]]) 02:16, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
:[[opinion|What needs to happen]] is that a [[List of New Deal murals]] article needs to be started.  It needs to begin with "Murals that are in USPOs are listed [[List of United States post office murals|here]], so this is a list of federally funded murals from the New Dael era that are not in post offices.  Everyone is encouraged to comment before I rush off and just do this. This is to, but not limited to: {{yo|BoringHistoryGuy}},  {{yo|Ser Amantio di Nicolao}} {{yo|Lockley}}.  [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash#top|talk]]) 21:27, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

So, just trying to keep things straight, would an organizational chart look something like this?
*New Deal murals
**Federal Art Project (WPA) murals
**Public Works of Art Project murals
**Other murals
... or would it have to be far more complex?<br>Also, if the current list of post office murals mixes WPA and PWAP works, does the table need a "Project" column added? Is it important to distinguish them by project? and is it difficult to determine which is which? 
== [[User:BoringHistoryGuy|BoringHistoryGuy]] ([[User talk:BoringHistoryGuy|talk]]) 01:09, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
::::TRAP is another one, and no it is not ([[opinion]]) necessary to distinguish between the various programs as long as the title of the article is inclusive.  So if we'd gone with WPA USPO Murals we would be in trouble.  As it is, if someone paints a mural in a USPO today we could include it.  That is why I want to go with the "New Deal" title.

== DYK question ==

You nominated the Country Joe and the Fish article for me awhile ago so I think you'll know more about this than I do. I wanted to nominate [[Blind Willie Johnson]], an article I brought to GA a month ago. My question, is it too late to nominate the article since its expansion was a month ago? I think Johnson is deserving of it, considering how influential he was on the blues and folk music.[[User:TheGracefulSlick|TheGracefulSlick]] ([[User talk:TheGracefulSlick|talk]]) 00:11, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

== ''Editor of the Week'' seeking nominations (and a new facilitator) ==

The ''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week|Editor of the Week]]'' initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly ''Editor of the Week'' award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Recipient response|response from the honorees]] has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Nominations|submitting your nomination for ''Editor of the Week'']] today!

<small>In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact {{noping|L235}} if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity. Remove your name from [[User:Buster7/WER Nomination mass mailing|here]] to unsubscribe from further EotW-related messages. </small> Thanks, '''[[User:L235|Kevin]]''' (<small>aka</small> [[User:L235|L235]]&nbsp;'''·'''&#32; [[User talk:L235#top|t]]&nbsp;'''·'''&#32; [[Special:Contribs/L235|c]]) via [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 05:19, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
