 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis ( talk) 18:43, 3 November 2023 (UTC) reply

No the issue is: "is glass (the normal stuff) a ceramic?" Take your pick. Johnbod ( talk) 17:32, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply

No, you'll need to provide reliable reference or not, Tom B ( talk) 17:35, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Done. It would have been a lot easier to do it yourself. Now can I enjoy the holidays? Johnbod ( talk) 19:49, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply

No, it would not have been a lot easier, Tom B ( talk) 20:03, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply

While some of behaviours of Pushkin may be considered as being free spirit, he was also a loyal subject of the tsar, who granted him a personal censorship license and a position in the court. He also wrote poems and stories that praised the glory, history, and culture of Russia, and sometimes defended its interests against foreign enemies.

It would be much better to illustrate artists being free spirits using Banksy. Suggested replacement is

Banksy, a graffiti artist who is constantly in conflict with the authorities, is considered a "free spirit" due to his work ^{[1] [2]}.
