Hi Miro,

I slightly edited your opening for Castellani: you rightly include an incipit that introduces the artist's accomplishments, instead of abruptly start with his biography. Building on this, I thought that adding brief information on his participation in a variety of avant-garde groups in Europe would allow a more accurate understanding of his contributions. Instead of just mentioning Zero, I also added Movimento Arte Nucleare and Azimut.

Your sources for this article are multiple, but you could have searched for additional sources browsing library reserves and course materials. For example:

Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, “Thrust into the Whirlwind: Italian Art before Arte Povera”, in Zero to Infinity, Arte Povera 1962-1972, ed. by Richard Flood, Frances Morris (Minneapolis: Walker Art Center 2001), p. 38

Carla Lonzi, Autoritratto, De Donato, Bari, 1969, pp. 5-14

You might have also looked into the following monographs (available at MIT):

Castellani, Enrico, Matthew Levy, and Fausto Melotti. Enrico Castellani, Fausto Melotti. New York: Barbara Mathes Gallery, 2011.

Castellani, Enrico, Achille Bontio Oliva, and Arturo Carlo Quintavalle. Enrico Castellani. [Parma]: Università di Parma, 1976. PollonApollo (talk) 14:48, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Miro, here are some questions/edits on your Castellani sandbox page:

GENERAL INTRO: (1) "The following year, 1956, Castellani returned to Italy and meet artists like 'Lucio Fontana and Piero Manzoni who were pushing Italian avant-garde art." - That last statement is very general, what do you mean by Italian avant-garde, and how were they pushing its paradigms? (2) "They discussed the beginnings and the decline of Art informel and put forward a new objective language with the presentation of works by Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Yves Klein, Lucio Fontana and others" - How do these artists you list represent a "radical" departure from Art Informel?

Finally, out of curiosity, what was your thinking process behind including the different bodies of works that you did? Were those his most prominent ones? Were they they ones you had the most sources/information on? It might be good to explain this somewhere; otherwise, the sections feel somewhat arbitrary.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Miroh504! Your additions to Enrico Castellani have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:38, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
