Ringturm

Vision wrapping of the Ringturm in 2017
Vision wrapping of the Ringturm in 2017
  • ... that the Ringturm, a 65-year-old skyscraper in Vienna, has been wrapped by artists in summer, such as Mihael Milunović's Vision in 2017? Source: [1] and others

  • New article, long enough, article in reasonable condition but could use the two [citation needed] to be resolved. I made a few minor changes (some comma usage in numbers, some typos, English grammar etc) but nothing substantial. I do wonder if you've selected the most interesting of the wrappings? I felt that the 2016, 2018 and 2019 images were more interesting and evocative, how would you feel about choosing one of those (and hence modifying slightly the blurb to take the different artist/work name into account)?

    Thank you for the quick review. Will look. I admit that I chose the wrapping because it has a title in English, which happens to be my motto for 2020. However, as it will appear in 2021, that is less important. I also wanted an artist with an article. I would have loved an image by Robert Hammerstiel, because his death made me write this article, but - sadly - no image. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:52, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
    TRM, I added three references, - wasn't easy to find something that wasn't a mirror. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:11, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
    Any thoughts on choosing one of the other wrappings? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 19:44, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
    I think I shared my thoughts just above, no? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:52, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
    Sort of, but two other wrappings do have artist articles. If you want to stick with the less interesting image, that's fine, sorry if I misunderstood. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 19:58, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
    (ec) Looking at 2016, 2018 and 2019: all won't work better than Vision in stamp size. One of the artist has no article, one is plain Austrian while the Eastern Europe part seems more interesting for an example. I make you one, for the point (Zukunftsträume is Dreams for the Future but that's my translation):
Zukunftsträume wrapping of the Ringturm in 2019
Zukunftsträume wrapping of the Ringturm in 2019
ALT1: ... that the Ringturm, a 65-year-old skyscraper in Vienna, has been wrapped by artists in summer, such as Zukunftsträume by Daniela Kostova from Bulgaria in 2019? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:10, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
understood, I have no preference, I think ALT1 is a better image, but will leave it to the promoter, considering that the nominator prefers the initial image/hook. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
