Thank you

I am knocked over. You know that I admire your work, so that means a bunch to me. Big smiles from here, JNW 03:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Noticed that you recently contributed to Raphael Soyer. I thought the world of him, and visited him twice toward the end of his life. He was very kind to me. JNW 03:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Plastic paint medium

I noticed your edit[1] and looked further into that and Josignacio. There seems to be no notability or significant sources for either. I've speedied them. They've were linked in a number of other articles, and I've removed the links. You might like to keep an eye out. Tyrenius 03:14, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks! I'll keep a lookout. Ewulp 03:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Help!

Ewulp Greetings my friend! I wrote a series of articles on Republic of Texas military history, and have submitted two of them for review for GA status. I could REALLY use your honest evaluation of both, (don't spare my feelings!), and of course, any help you feel like giving would be more than welcome, as you are a far better editor than I am! I worked very hard on these, researching the history, and then writing, and really could use a dispassionate evaluation by you, if you have the time. The five are Buffalo Hump, Council House Fight, Great Raid of 1840, Battle of Plum Creek, and Battle of Pease River. The two I submitted for GA review are Great Raid of 1840, and Battle of Pease River. I also completely rewrote Peta Nocona as part of the buttressing of the series. (If you want a laugh, I got into this because my grandson had an assignment in Texas history, and found little on wikipedia about it. He told me someone should rectify that, and after reading 14 books, I did. I would really appreciate your evaluation of the two I submitted for review...THANKS,old windy bear 17:11, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello old windy bear, good to hear from you! I've just given Council House Fight the once-over as a warmup for Great Raid of 1840, which seems a bit more challenging & which I'll look at next. Ewulp 03:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Ewulp Thank you my friend! I appreciate your help! These are good articles, but they needed your magic touch before the GA review! I don't know if you know, but I was recently elected an admin, (which I was greatly honored to be), and in the course of that, discovered that TomStar81 was not an admin, which surprised me - he is a superb editor, and really deserves the mop. If you have time, would you look at his nomination? [2] Also, are you interested in the mop? You would make a superior admin yourself. I have to laugh - I have come a long way from the early B & C days, to be an admin, huh? Anyway, are you interested? THANKS FOR THE HELP ON MY NEW ARTICLES! old windy bear 14:56, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

First off, congratulations old windy bear -- WP has just gained an outstanding administrator, with the dedication, the temperament, and an impressive record of accomplishments. For now I'd have to decline the role myself, but thanks for the good words. Ewulp 04:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Ewulp, Oldwindybear has e-mailed me and asked me to relay this message to you:

I recruited Ewulp, (a very good writer who often edited articles I had written for me) to review one of my newer ones, COUNCIL HOUSE FIGHT. He left me a message on research that I had the answer to, but of course, cannot now answer and correct. Would you be kind enough to go to that talk page, and leave him a note that I am not editing anymore, but the generally accepted answer, (and I can send you the sources if he needs them, for you to relay, since I cannot email him, as I am off wikipedia!) is that all the Comanche Chiefs were killed. The article could safely say that there are sources - the online Handbook of Texas is the primary one - which claim only 30 of 33 were killed, but most sources, the vast majority, say all 33 were.

I believe he should be able to receive e-mail, as it's still enabled.Proabivouac 04:43, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Matisse

TY for reworking the Matisse intro - I gave it a quick shot yesterday - not my finest hour. Modernist 11:59, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Glad to help! And very nice work on the much-needed expansion of Matisse as well as on Self-portrait/Autoportrait. Ewulp 06:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

<!--A few examples suffice here to make the point that Magritte's work is often referenced in popular culture. It is neither possible nor desirable to list every pop culture reference to Magritte in this article.

I'd like to nominate Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres as a good article. You seem to be the primary contributor to it. Do you mind if I do? –Outriggr § 08:09, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I just changed my mind. :) It's more than worthy of consideration, but I'm not going to be available to respond to any "review comments" that are left on the talk page. (One of which will be, "Get rid of the image gallery. This isn't about an artist! Oh wait, it is, but...") If you want to continue, you could nominate it yourself.

Notability of Zakpo

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Zakpo, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Zakpo seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Zakpo, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Template:Picasso works

As posted on User talk:Cburnett:

This was a very useful template, but is now redundant as the info is in Template:Pablo Picasso. If you, as original author, agree, I will delete it, as there seems no further use to be made of it. I will also ask User:Ewulp who modified a couple of dates. Tyrenius (talk) 20:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Beginning to believe

... there is no such thing as a simple wikigraphic that works all the time...

re: VP (?VPP) a few days ago... On my monitor at least, your edit displays very badly. A single word ("The") is isolated at upper left, then there's the contents box, the two nav boxes and the image; some scrolling is required to find the rest of the sentence: "Middle Ages form the middle period..." etc. Perhaps an inconspicuous page-wide noprint banner would be fine, but if it's inconspicuous it will be easily overlooked, no? Is there any evidence that users have had trouble finding nav boxes located in External links? Ewulp (talk) 22:41, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

• Sigh... what browser were you using... the monitor shouldn't matter hill of beans... the text wrapping and such are HTML elements. Also just wondering whether that effect you describe is influenced by A) the fact that the page has the historical page notice "warning banner"... B) the TOCnestright.
  
  Could you play with the page in preview mode (as if reverting), and see if it clears that issue for you. Then if not, try again by deleting the TOCnestright line and repreview. If the wrapping you describe continues when the only thing left is {{commons-gallery}}, then there is a definite issue there. If not, your experiment should indicate the object which is rendering badly. Please let me know on my talk! Thanks! // FrankB 20:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Answer xposts

to and from HTML at Middle Ages

HTML at Middle Ages

I experimented with this as you suggested with the following results. First: my browser is Safari, and viewing your edit in the preview pane didn't resolve the issue. What eventually worked was this markup, excluding the "nowiki"s:

{{FixBunching|beg}} {{Commons-gallery<!--|R=Middle Ages -->}} {{FixBunching|mid}} {{Commons-gallery<!--|R=1 -->|Atlas of the medieval age|:|p=Middle Ages Historical Atlas}} {{FixBunching|mid}} [[Image:Giotto.mourning.750pix.jpg|thumb|270px|''Lamentation'', [[Giotto di Bondone]], c. 1305]] {{FixBunching|end}}

This displays as an intact lede section, with the 2 nav boxes at upper right above the Giotto jpg, and the Contents below the lede section in the usual way. I'm not sure if this is the result you intended, but hope this is helpful. Ewulp (talk) 01:39, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the courteous response... and apologies for missing your post. I could blame the holidays (and to some extent, legitimately can), but it was more likely a near in time post banner message was the next I saw coupled with my normal preoccupation of having twenty irons in the fire all at once on this project... I sortof just keep going where and whenever I have to leave off whatever the day or time... and so I just 'now' saw your message. (Heck, I talk to myself out loud too much as it is... I'd really be in bad shape if I started talking to myself on my talk too! <g>)

Insofar as your 'data' goes, makes perfect sense. The various browsers seem to have "issues" on the corners of HTML blocks, and inserting the FixHTML/FixBunching forces alignment by placing the contents in table structures. IIRC, I did not put a 'mid' call between the two, and Safari isn't one I've tried (Is that Unix platforms?). Sadly, my main computer and most of my browsers currently are in the repair shop, so say a prayer! <g> Hope the hard drive is alive at least!

FYI, the 'pre' block command can show things a bit better in many cases, as it essentially is equivalent to putting a nowiki on each end of a line, and letting the newlines do there thing:

{{FixBunching|beg}}
{{Commons-gallery<!--|R=Middle Ages -->}}
{{FixBunching|mid}}
{{Commons-gallery<!--|R=1 -->|Atlas of the medieval age|:|p=Middle Ages Historical Atlas}}
{{FixBunching|mid}}
[[Image:Giotto.mourning.750pix.jpg|thumb|270px|''Lamentation'', [[Giotto di Bondone]], c. 1305]]
{{FixBunching|end}}

With respect to the article... Danged if I can find an edit summary suggesting it was removed after this one... but bottom line, sometimes one just has to throw some spagetti against the wall to see how much sticks. Looks like this lot didn't.

Intuitively, disabling the "float Right" as shown in the commented version you report should be fine, and constrained (on most browsers) by the table element. Safari apparently gives a different order of precedence to elements, and prioritized the right float higher... or something like that. RU sure you needed to comment out the float command "<!--|R=1 -->"? Or the other, or did you add the {{FixBunching|mid}} after? Hmmmm my edit looks to me to be identical to your "success", so what the heck are we talking about anyway?

In any event, the issue is probably moot. This society is bound and determined to not give sister projects any free publicity, and so far as I'm concerned, putting things down in external links is about the same as saying "this is unimportant, you can stop reading now". Sigh.

Have a great new year, and again, sincere apologies for the tardy detection of your message. // FrankB 05:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

OKAY! Thanks for the clarification. My next OS will be named "X"... one of my best friends has been trying to get me into that mode for two decades plus!

re: Personally, I don't think putting things into external links consigns them to oblivion, as they're easy to find there and users quickly learn that they're worth exploring. ... I guess I'm just a little slow! <G> Have a great wildcard weekend! // FrankB 14:28, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

John Sloan thanks you...

and so do I. A few hours ago I noticed the contributions to his biography, and the attendant confusion. Didn't have a clue how to fix it, and the evening's plans beckoned anyway. Upon returning, it was clear that you had set everything right. Bravo! JNW (talk) 01:05, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your note, last night after I finished up at Reginald Marsh, I thought that here might be a connection with the edits you did at John Sloan also....Check out the first message on my talk page - Ellsworth Kelly, an ominous threat from March 19th that does sounds like there is a class out there. I think the newly rewritten articles are definitely interconnected in some fashion, - all new names etc. I mentioned this to Ty also. Modernist (talk) 10:38, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

The Third of May 1808

Hi Ewulp, I have begun expansion of Goya's Third of May, in hopes that you and some of the other all-stars might be interested in turning it into featured article material over the next few weeks. I have used few sources, so there is much work to be done. It only occurred to me in the last week that May 3 will be the 200th anniversary of the event, so it would be great if this could be the FA for the day. Cheers, JNW (talk) 21:22, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Excellent! JNW (talk) 03:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Edvard Munch

I've seen you have reverted my addition of Božidar Jakac among the artists that have been influenced by E. Munch. You have referred me to the talk page, however I have been unable to locate any discussion about what should be included in the infobox or similar there. What were you referring to exactly? The information added can be found in one of the sources provided in the Jakac article.[3] --Eleassar ^{my talk} 19:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations

for the Third of May 1808, reaching FA and it's still April, thanks for your input.....Modernist (talk) 03:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

The Third of May 1808

Thank you, Ewulp, for all of your contributions to The 3rd, which were instrumental in getting the piece to FA status. If it reaches the main page next weekend, I would like all the contributing editors to meet in a pub to celebrate. Barring that, since I gather that some live in Ireland, some in Australia, some in England, and some in the U.S., a virtual toast will be in order. Cheers, JNW (talk) 12:49, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

JNW, in the clothing he wears while editing.

Alexander Rodchenko

You recently undid my edits to this article on the grounds of copyright violation -- however this isn't why I'm leaving you a message, since permission has been given to use the text. But, when you undid the edit, was it necessary to remove the external links I added in addition to the new section? It seems they were both relevant links; at the least, one of them was. — metaprimer (talk) 18:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Image on Modernism

Please do not place an artistic depiction from the Romantic period on an article about Modernism. This is very misleading and the fruits of Romanticism do not belong in an article about something with such radically different values. It also has nothing to do with the text in the article, although the article in general is a total mess, with a poor layout (ironic) compared to Renaissance for example and needs a complete rewrite anyway. - Victory's Spear (talk) 06:30, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

You wouldn't find an image in the Romanticism article that depicts modernist artwork, so it shouldn't in this context either. If somebody wants to see the fruits of Romanticism, then they should go to the article on that subject. Its simply out of place and doesn't belong. Also the image is of the wrong revolution; it was painted in 1830, before the Revolutions of 1848 (which is mentioned in the text next to it) even happened.

In an article on Modernism, putting a section header "beginings" and then showing a Romantic artwork is going to be very confusing for people not familiar with the topic. It could infact, trick the reader into thinking that Modernism is beautiful or attractive, based on a completely unrelated Romantic artwork. Thus I have reverted you. Keep things in context. That entire pre-modernism section needs trimming down anyway, there is more information in that section than in the parts about modernism itself. The article is in very bad shape. - Victory's Spear (talk) 22:21, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

There were multiple revolutions & wars in Europe in the first half of the 19th century, as noted in the text. The jpg is appropriate in this context, and bears a caption that identifies it as a Romantic work painted in 1830. A reader, noting the contrast between Delacroix's painting and the Hofmann painting that stands at the top of the article, is unlikely to confuse the two; the reader who makes it to the sixth paragraph of "Beginnings" will begin to understand that Modernism has something to do with the difference they see. In my opinion this enhances the article. Please place any further complaints about Modernism on the article's talk page. Ewulp (talk) 02:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

According to an old catalog that I have and the Metropolitan Museum of Art's website it's 1885. That's good enough for me and I changed the dates..good catch, thanks...Modernist (talk) 11:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note, and for your contributions to The Concert Singer. At your leisure, do take a look at The Bellelli Family. As always, a pleasure to read your contributions, and to hear from you. Best, JNW (talk) 03:05, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

The Bellelli Family has an article worthy of it, which is saying a lot. Many nice finds, like the wonderful Boggs quote on the hands. I'll see if there's anything I can add. Many thanks for the kind words, and for so much outstanding work. Ewulp (talk) 06:17, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

In re Avant-garde

Dear Sir or Madam, You just reverted the avant-garde article while I was writing it--why? If you would, please be specific? You said you were r.v.ing unhelpful edits. The vast majority of Wikipedia users have not edited it in order to be helpful to you. Yours sincerely, D. Snow Dsnow75 [[User Talk: Dsnow75|Talk]] (talk) 03:24, 9 April 2009 (UTC) P.S. Do you accept Barnstars of High Culture?

You made three changes, none of which seemed likely to be helpful to anybody. According to your edit, "Salons des Refusés were held in 1874, 1875, and 1886" (you deleted 1863). In context, this needed either an adjective such as "subsequent" or a revert; I reverted. Your unexplained deletion of the link to List of avant-garde artists served no apparent purpose. The title of the Duchamp piece is Fountain, useful information which you deleted from the jpg caption for no apparent reason, unless as part of a plan to eliminate said title from the annals of history, as you proposed at Talk:Avant-garde before retracting the suggestion. I suggest you discuss these edits there, not here. Ewulp (talk) 04:22, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Dear Sir: I should say, thank you for reading my comment.Dsnow75 [[User Talk: Dsnow75|Talk]] (talk) 16:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Ingres and odalisques

I saw the edit there this morning, picked up some books in the library this afternoon with an eye toward expanding on the theme, and you beat me to it! Truth be told, I was planning to send you a note to ask for your input, as well. Well done, as usual. Best regards, JNW (talk) 21:50, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

List of works by Thomas Eakins

After a couple of days of methodical typing, I've created List of works by Thomas Eakins. It's gotten to the point where other people can step in and add to it - titles need to be linked, dates need to be added, pictures need to be found/uploaded/added to the list, notes need to be added, etc. I'd appreciate your help building it up.

Sisley

I'm kind of puzzled by your "copyediting" of my edits. I expanded the lead per WP:LEAD, so that it provided a summary of the article - both Sisley's life and his works. You reverted it back to the original, and now it doesn't summarize anything, doesn't explain Sisley's life and/or connections to other Impressionists, and doesn't explain the "never found the movement did not suit his needs" line, which isn't transparent to someone without extensive knowledge of Impressionism (and so I specifically added Renoir and Degas as examples of the opposite).

Not only that, but you removed my links to France and British Empire. I never once saw anyone remove links to countries (after all, someone from Thailand may be reading this!). Suppose the France link was indeed too much, allright - but removing British Empire? Why? Shouldn't the reader have a link that would explain the state Sisley was a citizen of? Look at all the FAs: Salvador Dalí, John Vanbrugh, Paul Kane... I could go on for weeks citing articles from all over Wikipedia, all of which have the artist's citizenship/nationality in the first line linked.

If you were a new editor, I'd just tweak stuff back in, but apparently you've been here for a long time, and so I'm really clueless as to why would you do these things which contradict, well, just about everything I've seen in my five or so years here.

--Jashiin (talk) 08:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. Thank you for such a substantial reply. I'm afraid I'm only an amateur when it comes to history of painting; my picture of Impressionism turned out to be quite wrong. As a matter of fact, I only saw Sisley's work a few days ago; I was so impressed that I had to do at least something about the article, which was in a poor shape. Anyway, I like what you did to the lead, mentioning Renoir and all - this is what I was aiming at: to give the reader some sense of where Sisley stood. Regards, --Jashiin (talk) 12:48, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Charles Le Roux

I'm sorry to say to you that the musee d'Orsay website is doing a mistake saying that the Cherrytrees by Charles Le Roux was at the exposition universelle of 1855. Charles Le Roux is my grand father and the best biography you can find about him was made by G.Ferroniere, he clearly describe the story of this paint which was a gift of Charles Le Roux's son for the Exposition Universelle of 1900 and then for the Musée du Luxembourg. I cannot say why the musee d'Orsay did this mistakes but even if you chech in the "Catalogue of the exposition universelle of 1855" there is no reference at this paint. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpalir (talk • contribs) 06:34, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Black Dahlia

Hi. I just wanted to stop and thank you for the recent edits on this page. We try quite hard to keep the relevance of the media mentions to relevant and direct references regarding the article and keep out extraneous trivia. Unfortunately, this doesn't always please some - almost always IP edits. I appreciate your noticing the change and would mention that if you happen across similar edits to other high profile crime articles, please don't hesitate to remove them. WP:CRIME members try to keep this sort of mention to a minimum but sometimes they slip through. You'll find similar internal notes in articles like Charles Manson, Billy the Kid, Jesse James, John Dillinger, Lizzie Borden, Albert Fish, Ted Bundy, etc. Thanks again.

Gericault

Thank you for restoring my admittedly rather soaring verbiage--I could understand how someone might find it a bit POV, but given the painting and its prominence I thought the wording was not inappropriate, and consistent with published scholarship. At any rate, this gives me a chance to say hello--it's been a while--to compliment you on your edits in general, and to wish you the best. JNW (talk) 03:23, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks JNW; I thought that might be your writing! The description seems exactly right, while the too-neutralized language of the revision was likely to mislead anyone who didn't know the The Raft of the Medusa's place in the artist's oeuvre. Ewulp (talk) 04:48, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Battles of macrohistorical importance involving invasions of Europe

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Battles of macrohistorical importance involving invasions of Europe. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battles of macrohistorical importance involving invasions of Europe (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Louis Armstrong ref

Hey there, sorry to bother but I accidentally attributed the removal of a link to an IP when it was you who removed it after correcting a typo on the page [4]. May I ask for the reason for removing of the link? I think it would add a great deal more depth or validity to the statements made re what is said in that article with the wikipedia article. But I am no expert so if you still think the ref is not needed feel free to remove it. Kind regards.Calaka (talk) 02:31, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey there, I too am sorry about the slow response. But that is fair enough what you said, I guess I will try and follow up the reason why the other individual removed it (I am sure it was either a mistake or there is a valid reason - as I said before, I am no expert on the subject and hence why I am not in a rush to get the link back on the page).

Malevich

Malevich was Ukrainian! See http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/malevich_kasimir.html for example—Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.123.246.201 (talk) 02:55, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Kiev was within the Russian Empire in 1879. Artcyclopedia notwithstanding, Malevich is not identified as "Ukrainian artist" in any reliable source I checked; he's Russian according to Oxford Art Online, britannica.com, Getty Union List of Artist Names, MoMA website and publications, Guggenheim website, Art Institute of Chicago website, Penguin Concise Dictionary of Art History, and Dictionary of 20th Century Art.

genetic attribution on the lede

Ypoou r claim seems weak, I have searched on the web for reliable support and not found anything. Please don't replace it without talkpage discussion and consensus. Also, we do not usually add such genetic marking in the first paragraph like the WP:LEDE and WP:MOS like, mr jonh smith a negro from alabama or jonny Harrison a cuusasion from Maine, please move to discussipon, there is also a thread regarding this BLP at the WP:BLPN where you are also welcome to comment, thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 19:25, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Have you tried entering "Buffy Sainte-Marie" +Cree into Google scholar or Google books? A great many reliable sources appear. As for appropriateness in the lede, MOS:BIO says: "Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability." I'd say in this case it is relevant. Featured articles, which represent the best of Wikipedia, mention ethnicity in the lede if relevant; see Jackie Robinson for an example. Ewulp (talk) 20:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Personally there is no comparison at all with Jackie Robinson, there genetic make up was much more relative to his notability. . What do you see as being most notable about here as a aboriginal Canadian worthy of the first comment? There is discussion about this also at the WP:BLPN thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 20:28, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

The discussion at WP:BLPN concerns something else entirely: a potentially libelous and unsourced posting on Talk:Buffy Sainte-Marie by an editor who claimed that Sainte-Marie had fabricated the story of her origin. This was rightly removed. We require reliable sources in WP. The relevance of her ethnicity is fairly obvious (see her discography, activism and statements, news coverage throughout her career, and so on). This detail also helps prepare the reader for the article's second sentence: "Throughout her career in all of these areas, her work has focused on issues of Native Americans", which might otherwise seem puzzling.

Thanks for restoring correct information and adding a source. It seems that every time I go to the trouble of checking when an IP changes a date, it always turns out to be a wasted effort as it was just a vandal maliciously adding false information.

File source problem with File:0052549ket d.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:0052549ket d.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

Orphaned non-free image File:0052549ket d.jpg

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Degas

Just a short question: If the biography referred to by User:Bjornwireen can be tracked down, would you be OK with my changes to the article? 85.166.46.84 (talk) 09:24, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

The way Degas pronounced his own name is certainly of interest. If the sounded "s" can be substantiated, it may warrant a mention, although it would have to be weighed against the numerous pronunciation guides which always seem to favor something like Dug-ah. Biographies vary in quality and may include fables and hearsay. We follow sources in writing Wikipedia articles, but if no more than a single source can be found that argues for the audible "s", that source may be suspect. In my experience, art historians (such as Richard Kendall in this video) go with the standard pronunciation, which doesn't prove it's correct but it is persuasive.

The Starry Night

I fail to see any reason why the reference to the Simpsons is being considered unimportant. Starry Night was depicted in the episode Four Great Women and A Manicure, but the reference is being repeatedly removed. Sudhir R 12:46, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

RE: The Starry Night

The Simpsons is a series where brief references are the norm. Take for example "Lisa's First Word". An entire section is dedicated to the episode, and the fact that Maggie Simpson's first word was spoken by Elizabeth Taylor. Still, keeping in line with your statement about having an expert opinion, does the below reference count?

Interior (Degas)

Wonderful! I can't believe nobody had done this sooner. If I were more involved I'd expand The Camden Town Murder and include the Degas as an important influence. Any thought to nominating your article for DYK? Cheers, JNW (talk) 15:04, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, JNW. It's funny you mention DYK...I've never participated in the process up to now, but this painting provides such an obvious hook that I gave it some thought. What's still lacking is the Gavarni image, but I have a small reproduction that I'm planning to scan & if it seems adequate I'll upload.

I never thought of linking Interior to The Camden Town Murder, but it's a great idea; I'll take a look at dropping something in. And nice work on Walter Sickert last week--you're having a productive retirement! Ewulp (talk) 14:34, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Glad you nominated it. The influence of Interior on the Camden Town paintings has been noted in the literature on Sickert, who has become a favorite of mine, especially the work between 1890 and 1915.... 25 years is not a bad stretch at that. JNW (talk) 02:02, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the reference-finding at the Marsans article, nicely done. I was certainly able to verify the Ashbery reference to a point (I can see the TOC of the book compilation you mentioned at Amazon, but not the chapter, neither the Newsweek's article nor the compilation appears to be covered in Gbooks/Gnews, and I'm guessing that you have access--would it be possible for you to appropriately add that reference to the article?

You're probably right about that. It seems that the author of a notable theory should have little trouble finding a citation for it; four months of begging him for one seems enough indulgence.
