Hello and welcome to Bhamwiki. We're really excited to see your contributions. If you haven't already, please read our User agreement and then feel free to dive in. --Dystopos 14:29, 20 June 2007 (PDT)

  • Ah yes, nothing motivates editors like throwing up a biography. Welcome again. --Dystopos 14:51, 20 June 2007 (PDT)

Date of birth?

  • Graham, is there any way you'd be willing to share your date of birth for your article? Dates help us improve the wiki and tends to make articles feel more complete. However I understand the need for privacy as well, so at the very least a year of birth would be much appreciated. --Wheresdib 09:06, 22 August 2008 (PDT)

Lucille Douglass

John, how do I completely get rid of an entry? I added to the Lucille Douglas entry before realizing that the name was misspelled on the list of Birmingham painters. I made the correction to Lucille Douglass, but Lucille Douglas still comes up in a search. How do I axe Lucille Douglas? -- User:Graham Boettcher 16:44, 11 June 2009 (PDT)

  • I'm the only one with the axe of deletion, but in this case it's probably better to provide a redirect for the common misspelling, so I did that. Thanks for adding some artist bios, by the way. These are great! --Dystopos 15:50, 11 June 2009 (PDT)

Richard B. Marchase

  • I added an entry on Richard B. Marchase, the husband of Gail Andrews. Marchase is alternately known by his full name and his nickname Dick Marchase. How should I reflect this in my entry? User:Graham Boettcher 17:40, 13 June 2009
    • I would use either "Dick Marchase" or "Richard Marchase" depending on how much he uses the nickname (like on his business cards or in his signature). I try to shy away from middle initials unless they are always used and/or necessary to distinguish between two individuals covered in Bhamwiki. --Dystopos 19:40, 13 June 2009 (PDT)

Photos

  • Graham, who owns the rights to the photographs of Richard Marchase and Gail Andrews? We need to make sure we have permission to reproduce them here. Ideally we'd be safest if they could be released under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license. In any case, we need to credit the photographer and anyone else with an ownership claim. --Dystopos 20:01, 13 June 2009 (PDT)
  • The photo is on the Birmingham Museum of Art Web site, which means we have proprietary rights to it. We do not credit the photographer on our site. I can give permission to use as museum curatorial staff, but will try to find out who we hired that year as our ball photographer, so we can give a proper credit if possible. --User:Graham Boettcher
