Input on class please[edit]

I set the class conservatively at "C" after the article was updated with references and more material. Is that right? Thanks!!!--CaroleHenson (talk) 23:56, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Identification of persons in painting[edit]

The main subject, the man wearing the strange hat appears to be a member of the clergy (?). Can anyone verify this, and exactly what his garments signify? Mar2194 (talk) 01:47, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Summary of reasons why the content was reverted[edit]

Reverted changes include:

"estimated 1475 -1505", back to: "c. 1502." It's better to be more specific, rather than less specific.
"Musée Municipal in St.-Germain-en-Laye", back to "Musée Municipal, St.-Germain-en-Laye". It's not necessary to say Musée Municipal in St.-Germain-en-Laye. Although, of course "in" is another option.
"The Conjurer is a Hieronymus Bosch painting from the 16th century." - back to "The Conjurer is by Flemish painter Hieronymus Bosch and/or his workshop"<ref name = "Varallo"/>, executed around 1502<ref>Dating based on [[dendochronology|dendochronologic analysis]]. See {{cite book|first=Franca|last=Varallo|title=Bosch|publisher=Skira|location=Milan|year=2004}}</ref>. Cited content should not be replaced by uncited content. I can find the guideline if needed
returned "an oil-on-wood, measuring 53 x 65 cm,<ref name="Gertsman">{{cite journal | title=Illusion and Deception Construction of a Proverb in Hieronymus Bosch’s "The Conjurer" | author=Gertsman, E | pages=31–37 | url=http://www.fsu.edu/~arh/images/athanor/athxxii/ATHANOR%20XXII_Gertsman.pdf }}</ref>
returned "(1793-1872) who was a" - since there's not a link to an article about him
returned " little owl" back to "owl" - I don't understand this edit, the source does not say "little owl"
returned wikilink for proverb--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:10, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The following will be inserted "Triptych of the Temptation of St. Anthony" because it is more specific than "triptych "The Temptation of St. Anthony". Also replaced indented, italicized quote to a normal font, blockquote. Good catches!--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:14, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Argh!!! I got confused by the order of things when looking at the compare. I've restored the edited version.--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:30, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
