Shanghai art world

[Crossposted from WP China]

Via List of women photographers, I discovered the article on one Rose Tang (seemingly a "persona" rather than a person). This led me to articles on Island6, Liu Dao, Wang Dongma, Thomas Charvériat, Zane Mellupe and Ifa gallery. I haven't yet looked in their histories, but they link to each other a lot and not much to anywhere else, they have little independent sourcing for what they say, and they obviously have certain other features in common. Indeed, it all seems a bit of a "walled garden". Could anyone here who, unlike me, knows something of the "art scene" of Shanghai please take a look at some of these? -- Hoary (talk) 02:29, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

WikiWomen's History Month

Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Visual arts will have interest in putting on events related to women's roles in visual arts - as artists, collectors, historians, subjects, etc. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch (talk) 19:05, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

I've created a List of female sculptors. This seems to be an area of the fine arts where women are significantly less well represented. Hope it is of use, I see people have already started to expand it, great!! Sionk (talk) 12:41, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I'll try to direct some of my translating efforts toward that area, ie: seeing what articles on German women artists are on the DE wiki, but not here, and then stubbing out articles for them... Lithoderm 23:49, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Mass edits by Twomorerun/24.11.246.211

This editor had previously edited as an IP in October and is now back with the same edits. Mostly a nuisance, his edits are based on his interpretation of policy: he's not 3RRing and knows enough about the rules to avoid getting blocked but he clearly does not wish to work with anyone and sees himself as the only one who is correctly editing. There's no discussing things with him. He works in visarts areas amongst others. freshacconci talktalk 17:11, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I also sent him a note about his edits and about this discussion. freshacconci talktalk 17:17, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree - the edits are basically a problematic nuisance...Modernist (talk) 17:37, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Now he's taken his ball and gone home. I'll never understand tis type of editor. Actually, I do understand that they are controlling personalities who cannot stand input from others. Why he thinks that would work on Wikipedia is bewildering. I'm sure he'll be back in four months. freshacconci talktalk 01:02, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

When five or six fairly long standing editors suggest that your work is not helping, it's probably best to back up, have a cup of tea and re-consider your approach.Span (talk) 01:22, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
