Is Artie short for anything?
Yes. Artie is a nickname in most old records, and it usually points to Arthur. No other formal name claims it in the records we track. Expect it in American and British records, mostly 1800s-1900s. A record that says Artie and a record that says Arthur can easily be the same person, so search both names before you rule anyone out.
