After the confrontation between Derrick Coetzee and the National Portrait Gallery, I thought people would enjoy this irony.
I wandered on to this page of theirs on John Michael Wright:
http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person.php?search=sa&LinkID=mp0... &role=art&wPage=0
Hm, that description of Wright sounds familiar I though. Unsurprising really, since *I* wrote it.
It is taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Michael_Wright which is mainly my work.
Of course, the only note on the page is C National Portrait Gallery, London 2011. No mention of Wikipedia on CC licence unless I've missed it.
Which means, they are engaged in intellectual theft. Or have I missed something?
Can I sue them? And they seem to have taken other work from Wikipedia. I wonder if this is quite deliberate.
