Threadneedle Prize

I've twice removed long lists of prizewinners whose notability have not been established, except for winning a prize here. Further input welcome, if it's determined that I'm being overzealous. But my take is that a Misplaced Pages article probably isn't the place for such a listing. JNW (talk) 00:27, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

It would be useful to have a list of prizewinners at some point, but considering the list you removed was yet more stuff copied from the Prize's website, it's probably more important to establish the notability of the prize first. Prize-winners wouldn't need to be notable to be listed , but they'd definitely need to be verifiable. Sionk (talk) 00:41, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. It looks like there are several WP:SPA users who are working to keep the list in its entirety. If it's copied from the website, it may constitute a copyright violation, no? JNW (talk) 00:53, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, though it depends a bit on context. Prose is easily copyvioed, lists, that's a different matter. But lists with text, yeah, that would be a copyvio. Drmies (talk) 01:37, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Stella Vine

There are discussions ongoing about the merger of offshoot articles about Stella Vine at Talk:Stella Vine#Merging other Vine articles. Sionk (talk) 13:19, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

B-class review request (Degenerate Art Exhibition)

Would anyone like to review this article and leave comments on its talk? I wonder how close it is to a GA. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:07, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Rodolfo Visca

Hello art lovers! The above submission at Afc is soon to be deleted as a stale draft. There's an article in the Spanish Misplaced Pages. There may be sources available to show the notability of this artist, but I don't know where to look. Can anyone help? There are many artist submissions among the 43,000 drafts that are eligible for G13 deletion here: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Articles for creation/G13 rescue —Anne Delong (talk) 16:46, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

The problem is unless they have a disambiguator there's little chance of knowing the subject area. If you find any others I'll take a look. Unfortunately the Rodolfo Visca (Spanish) article is as bad as the English draft. Hopefully Google.es will be my friend :) Sionk (talk) 17:08, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

The fact someone tried to forge and auction his works after his death shows his work has some significant value, but I can find little of substance about him online (not even an obit). He was taught by someone well known, but I doubt that's convincing enought reason for an article. Sionk (talk) 17:45, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Individual art events articles

Hi. I noticed that while we have an article on the Venice Biennale, articles on the individual Biennale editions are all missing. I noticed the same apparently holds for other convention events like ComicCon. An event like a Biennale edition is usually massively notable and very well capable of meeting WP:NEVENT, so I was wondering: do the articles not exist because of some other notability guideline I am unaware of, or simply because nobody ever bothered writing the individual articles? Thanks. --cyclopia 11:03, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

The latter, I expect. But considering it's been going since 1895 whoever took on that job would have quite a challenge! Some people might see it as unbalanced to have articles about the most recent occurrences, but not the earlier ones. Were there any particularly stand-out years that would warrant their own article, above any of the others? Sionk (talk) 12:09, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

I honestly looked for an article on the 2013 Biennale I just visited, and I was just surprised to find none . I don't know if there are any editions more notable than others. I would like to write a few of them on the last recent ones. I understand it would have recentism issues, but better that than no articles at all, in my opinion. --cyclopia 12:24, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

I was going to suggest a List of Venice Bienales, though looking again at the existing article I see there is already a lot of information about which countries exhibited in each year. Maybe it just needs untangling in a new easily readable list article (as suggested by one of the reader comments). List articles are a great way of navigating between articles and encouragement to create new ones about each event. If there are significant attributes of earlier events (which maybe don't justify a full article) they could also be mentioned on the list. Sionk (talk) 13:03, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

I would start with sections on each event in the main article, then maybe breaking off into by decade/period articles if they get too long. I'm not very enthusiatic about lists, surely most countries come every time? Johnbod (talk) 00:59, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

The Blind Leading the Blind (Bruegel) Peer Review

Hello. Soliciting feedback and other help with the article for Pieter Bruegel the Elder's painting The Blind Leading the Blind. Any and all comments would be appreciated. I'm aiming this at FA, so feel free to split hairs. The review is here. Curly Turkey (gobble) 12:26, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Etaples art colony

This article could do with some revision. Much of it is written in an art crit essay style, and many of the links are to online art auctions rather than anything like reliable sources. ωεαşεζǫįδ 20:28, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Sources for ukiyo-e painting, as oppose to prints?

Does anyone know of a good source on ukiyo-e painting (rather than prints)? There appears to be a book, Ukiyoe Painting: Selected Problems (1960) by Harold Phillip Stern, but I can't get acces to it. I don't need anything in too great detail, just enough for an overview paragraph or two for the ukiyo-e article. Curly Turkey (gobble) 02:13, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Haley Mellin

A biography of a living artist that could use further copy editing to remove the resume-like quality. There are interested accounts that appear to desire WP:OWNERSHIP regarding links, sources and content, so if others would like to keep an eye on this it would be appreciated.

Fair use warrior at work

A editor has been deleting images at Jeff Wall based on his own interpretation of fair use guidelines. It looks like this is his thing. The article could use one more eyes and I'm sure he's going to move onto other art articles now that he's stumbled onto Jeff Wall. freshacconci talk to me 13:35, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Yep, he's started. freshacconci talk to me 13:46, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

More fair use deletions

Another editor is making his way through visual art articles, with all the expected nuance and common sense. Frankly, I'm not sure if I have it in me to fight these things. freshacconci talk to me 04:44, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Stubs in most popular pages

It won't be clear until next month, but on Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Visual arts/Popular pages the highest viewed stub is now # 251 Indian art with 24761 views last month, or 825 per day (this is much longer than most stubs, but of deplorable quality for such a huge and important subject - please don't rerate until much better). I think there are only about 5 stubs left in the top 1000 listed. That is a great improvement on say 2 years ago, & quite an achievement for the project. I hope people look at this list when choosing what to edit - I certainly do. Does anyone know why Bone char is now #1 at 569920 per month, 18997 per day? It's suddenly appeared at the top in recent months. One of many mysteries. Baroque, start class at #24, 109945 m, 3664 d, is perhaps the most notable weak point left. Meanwhile, best wishes to everyone for the holidays and New Year! Johnbod (talk) 12:38, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

RfC at Claude Monet re: number of images

Please join in the discussion at Talk:Claude Monet#RfC: Are the galleries in the Monet article excessive? about the number and choice of images in the galleries. Curly Turkey (gobble) 08:50, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

The galleries are fine, we'd like the paintings to remain visible and seen by our readers...Modernist (talk) 12:22, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
