In respect to User:VelhinhoEstoniano/sandbox/Antonino it is a good idea to explain the importance of the topic. So mention that there is much press coverage in El Salvador. You seem to have enough references to get started, even if we cannot confirm them. With a picture of his work that is much more difficult because of copyright. If the artist can release a digital copy of his work under a cc-by-sa-3.0 license using the procedure at WP:PERMIT, that is the simplest method. If a large full quality image cannot be relesaed under a free license by the artist, perhaps they can release a smaller 300 pixel sized image. Also perhaps you can take a photo of the artist. The name of the article should have firstname lastname and not just a name like Antonino which already exists as another person. The neutrality looks fine.

- Hi the idea is that we follow the names that the publishers use. So if only Antonino is ever used the article can be called Antonino (artist). GFDL is more awkward for pictures as the entire text of the license has to be published with the image. This makes it possible to publish on the web or a book, but not feasible on a postcard or paper plate for example. GFDL is permitted for images though, so use it if that is the request.

Page history
[edit]Hi VelhinhoEstoniano,
I noticed that at both Talk:Leonidas I and Talk:Philip II of Spain you asked questions about non-sensical sentences. It is good that you spotted these.
Are you familiar with the page history? If you click on the history tab at the top of any article, you can see all the changes that have been made. If you select two versions of the article and press "compare selected revisions" you can see what the difference is between them. In both of the cases you spotted, the problem was due to some vandalism. Vandalism can usually be found by inspecting the page history, although admittedly it took quite a bit of work in the case of Philip II of Spain, to see where it had gone wrong.
I hope you found that information helpful. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
