User talk:Richscart

Nice to see you show up. I stated the Granville Carter article very recently as a "stub" - the wikipedia term for a started article - and you have filed it in wonderfully. I have a couple suggestions for you, hoping that you will stay around and contribute more. Don't make much out of any connection that you might have with Carter, there is a group of editors who frown on folks writing about people close to them. Secondly, if you put something, anything on your user page then your signature will show up as a blue link rather than a red one, basically suggesting that you are not a rookie editor. Anyway, thanks so much for you time and energy. Any chance that you could come up with a copyright free picture of Carter, and perhaps some of his works?

One rule on wikipedia is that you don't post on other folks User Page, and another is Ignore All Rules, so I just blued your user name because red user names are like red flags to some editors and I always prefer flying under that radar. The universe works in mysterious ways, but I believe that there are no coincidences, that all this timing is there to allow something to happen. One of those things is posting pictures. Your best option is to claim copyright for all the pictures that you use, you will need to let go of the rights for the particular versions you post here, so if it matters, use a small one done at 72 dpi. I have posted many hundreds (who knows?) of my pictures here and am not attached to copyrights, but I know some folks are. Here is a question. Did GC do anything that might be termed Architectural sculpture? At the National Cathedral, for example. If "Yes" then I would like to discuss that with you. If "No" there are still lots of other things to chat about. Carptrash (talk) 16:22, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes he assisted in some architectural sculpture. I will dig that info out for you if you like. Your work on my Dads entry is excellent. Thanks for doing this! I will be adding pics soon and will use your advice.Richscart (talk) 04:11, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Next step

I received the following mesage today from a bot (robot) editor.

Disambiguation link notification for April 27

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Granville Carter (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

added links pointing to Baldwin, New York, Saint Gabriel, Man O' War and John Flanagan

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:25, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By the time you get this I plan to have fixed three of the four, but an not sure that I can do the Baldwin, New York link. Want to give it a try? Carptrash (talk) 14:17, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for making more fixes, and now no more red - fixed the Baldwin NY link. Where did you find out the info on Sidney Waugh? I am amazed that you ferret out the names of the instructors for Carter and Waugh!

Now just waiting for Wiki to clear me to post photos... Richscart (talk) 01:56, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have a lot more on Waugh, just not up to dong it. Because he was an architectural sculptor he came into my area of interest years ago. I also have a fairly extensive collection of books on sculpture and sculptors including a little one about Waugh. When he showed up as a red link here I decided that I had to get something started on him. He shows up in half a dozen or more other articles, now all ( I hope) wikilinked.
