Copyright problem removed edit
Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: http://www.wyland.com/about/the_artist/1 and and multiple pages at http://www.wylandfoundation.org/. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and according to fair use may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Voceditenore (talk) 14:50, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
Future editing edit
Note that even had the above not been a blatant copyright violation, the material would had been removed as blatant promotionalism for the artist and his business. I have completely re-written the article with basic biographical facts referenced to independent sources. To editors here who have any affiliation whatsoever to Wyland (either personal or professional), please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Autobiography for guidance when editing under these circumstances and follow it scrupulously. Please also familiarize yourself with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use requirements re disclosure of paid contributions. In future bear the following in mind:
- 1. This is an encyclopedia article, not an alternative web site for Wyland. All additions must be referenced to reliable independent sources.
- 2. All additions must be neutrally worded and use encyclopedic tone and style. Any additions which can be perceived by a neutral reader as hype or PR will be removed. See Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms for guidance.
- 3. Do not paste in text from your or anyone else's official websites, blogs etc. Apart from the almost invariably unsuitable promotional style, it is a copyright violation unless the sites explicitly display a free license.
- 4. Once you have written an article on Wikipedia, you no longer own it. It will always have to conform to Wikipedia's policies on content, style and formatting – not to the subject's desired image or marketing goals.

PBS series edit
Why no mention of his PBS series Wayland's Art Studio that has been on for several years?
Just curious. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 22:43, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
