replies: text: Thank you for using the talk page to make a suggestion, . But I'm afraid we can't use the text you propose because it is mostly copied from (or in any case identical to) the text on this page. Please understand that Wikipedia policy does not allow the insertion of other people's copyright text into its pages - this is really quite important, and editors who repeatedly fail to understand it do end up getting blocked from editing. I will try to add a bit more to the page tomorrow. If there are articles or reviews that you can suggest as sources for expansion, please do so (do you keep a press file for your artists?). If you can get the necessary permissions to donate images of works or indeed of Cragg himself to Commons they could then be added to the article (within reason); I'm doubtful about using the image you've uploaded as fair use, but then I know damn-all about image copyrights.

text: Hello  - Thank you for your message. The text I proposed is very similar to the text on this page because they are both bios and refer to key/factual events in Cragg's career. Regardless, I am glad that the page is up and running again. Lisson do have a press file for Tony Cragg but they are clippings rather than 'live' links to web pages. I will source as many as I can and upload them on this talk page each week. For now, however, please find suggested content (below)
Cragg’s artistic training started in 1969, when he joined the foundation course at Gloucester College of Art and Design in Cheltenham.Lotz, Antonia (2012). ‘‘Tony Cragg Matrix’’, p. 16. NORD/LB art gallery and kestnergesellscaft, Hannover. He progressed on to an undergraduate course at Wimbledon School of Art (1970-73), where he was taught by artist Roger Ackling, who introduced Cragg to the sculptors Richard Long, Bill Woodrow and Richard Deacon.Hudson, Mark (2012). “Sculptor who looks beneath the surface”, p.22 “The Daily Telegraph”, UK, 28 August 2012. Cragg became associated with these sculptors in the New British Sculpture movement that gained currency in the 1980s. In 1973 Cragg won a place on the post-graduate sculpture course at Royal College of Art in London.Lotz, Antonia (2012). ‘‘Tony Cragg Matrix’’, p. 16.

text: Hello  - further to my previous message, do you have a time frame for when the article will be completed? A colleague will be visiting Tony in Wuppertal tomorrow and he is very keen to hear when it will be completed. In the meantime, I will keep posting links to sources.AndrewViolaBowen (talk) 16:29, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

message: The huge amounts of proposed text material, hopefully not copied from catalogues and the like, should certainly not be dropped onto a talk page. As I understand it, it is rather specific points that should be discussed here.Retal (talk) 17:57, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
