*. The above response is from the Latin Wiki when they refused to remove the artist pages from their wiki . This campaign however has been succeeded in French, and Dutch Wikis. In German and Spanish Wiki it is pending. But in Latin, English and Italian it has failed. The basic story is this: There is a long running campaign to delete all the works of this woman artist from the internet and particularly from wiki. Her paintings are already removed from her native land galleries. Her crime apparently is that she has painted nudes. We have tried to stop this, and we apologize if  we are making some errors in this. but we think the issue is important, and we are happy that some editors like the Latin Wikipedia have taken their courageous stand against censorship.--Tiranious 3 januari 2009 kl. 22.52 (CET)

thread_title:  Response from Latin Wikipedia 

message: In my opinion this is promo-spam.
This article does in some other languages claim that Novin is «Regarded as one of Canada's world-renowned painters», and uses a <ref> to «prove» this with a quote. The given referanse is however not useful. It is not written as a art critic; it is merely an advance notice (pdf) about an art walk, most likely written by a journalist. And what is more, it is likely from the context, that the information («Guity Novin is a world-renowned acrylics painter, who inaugurated a movement in painting called "transpressionism". Her work is in galleries and collections around the globe.») is not the journalists own well-based opinion, but something she has been told by someone, perhaps the artist, or the staff behind the walk. (Plus, if Novin really is «world-renowned painter», it seems likely that there should have been more writings about her, also in prestigious foreign art magazines!?)Myself I am a librarian and literary critic, under education to be an art critic as well. To me, it is plain mater to distinct between notable art critic, and un-notable advance notices. Bw --Orland 13 januari 2009 kl. 21.31 (CET)
thread_title:  False claim of fame 

message: The message below was posted on wiki-nl and wiki-de by a colleague administrator on wiki-en:
I am an admin on English wiki. I have blocked en:User:Tiranious and en:User:Bamshadan on the English wikipedia as socks of en:User:Artaxerex, who has just returned after a year's ban. My user page en:User:Tyrenius (global account). Tiranious is an obvious reference to, if not attempt to impersonate, my user name. If there is any reply from you, please post at en:User talk:Tyrenius. Thanks. Tyrenius 18:55, 15. Jan. 2009 (CET)
This is similar to what has been done on wiki-nl - same sockpuppets used (24.84.245.60 is the account belonging). Kind regards, MoiraMoira 15 januari 2009 kl. 20.51 (CET)

*. Here is the the response from Cymraeg admin  
Thank you, Tiranious. Seems this is a controversial issue in some quarters, judging by some of the acrimonious comments on the :en article's talk page. Personally, I have no problem with keeping the article in its present form as we have few women artists and even fewer Iranian/Muslim artists. The general consensus on other wikipedias seems to be "keep" rather than "delete". She would appear to be at least as noteworthy as many other contemporary artists with articles on the English wikipedia. Best wishes, Anatiomaros 17:17, 5 Ionawr 2009 (UTC)
