Talk:Petuntse

Amid additional citations, reformatting, correction, and improvement of a stub article amounting to a rebuild, @Johnbod (apparently snarky because of unpleasantness at Talk:Jingdezhen porcelain) performed his own "drive-by" series of reverts to maintain the previous unlinked, malformatted, and bloated mess in the citations in the name of WP:CITEVAR, undoing several of the article's other edits and improvements along the way. With the personal attack and inaccurate edit summary, it certainly seems personal but even on the merits the previous version doesn't seem to be any consistent citevar to maintain, the rebuild and improvements should cover changing it anyway, and (if the consensus really is to maintain 30 separate cites for the same points) it certainly seems like WP:OVERCITE needs it cleaned up somehow.

One or both of us need additional eyes and comments on the page to clean it up one way or the other. Thanks for your time. — LlywelynII 16:03, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

CGI skeleton

Photo of person

Should the lead image be a CGI skeleton or a photograph of a person? Which of these two images should be used for the lead? Belbury (talk) 15:21, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Max von Sydow

Should the first sentence say Swedish-born French, Swedish-French or some other option? Should we omit von Sydow's nationality in the first sentence and explain it later?

As for previous conversations, see this, this and this.

Talk:Rembrandt

In the text Rembrandt is referred to as "a Dutch Golden Age painter", not as a "Dutch painter". However, not all painters of the Dutch Golden Age were actually Dutch. Therefore, this is potentially confusing and definitely not accurate. Should this be replaced by a normal reference (e.g. "Dutch painter") to his nationality?

Talk:Twitter

There has been a bit of disagreement on which word should describe Twitter's situation (specifically in the first sentence and in the infobox) now that X is its own page.

1. Defunct
2. Rebranded to X
3. Replaced by X
4. Succeeded by X
5. Renamed to X (option was added later)
6. other

Talk:Pieter Bruegel the Elder

Should the Infobox of the artist include the fact that the town Bruegel in Brabant is a possibility - as one of the two sources of the text is claiming - where Pieter Bruegel was born? Nico Gombert (talk) 16:35, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Let Her Burn

There has been a long-running slow-motion dispute on this page regarding the list of tour dates for the supporting album tour that ran from February 4 to July 22, 2023.

The project page, WP:CONCERT TOUR, says that for an article on a concert tour, "Tables may be used to present tour date information, such as dates, venues, locations, and opening/support acts". However, the essay, WP:ALBUMSTYLE, says, "Concert tours are not always notable enough to warrant stand-alone articles (see WP:NMG#Concert tours). Instead, information about notable tours and festivals should be incorporated into either the artist's page, or the album article for which the tour is supporting. Do not list all dates here, instead mention the range of dates (ex. June–September 1992)".

Neither of these pages are policy, but they leave gray the question of how to treat a concert tour that is arguably notable enough to have a separate article, but can arguably more concisely be presented to the reader as a section of an article on the album being promoted through this tour.

Talk:Dmitri Shostakovich

Should a listing of Shostakovich's marriages with wedding and death/divorce years be included in the infobox? Please provide your choice of either Option 1 or Option 2 along with a brief statement explaining your choice in the "Survey" section below. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 18:50, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
