Art of Catalonia

I have recently endevoured to translate this article over to the English Wikipedia. Due to me not being the most experienced person in the Catalonian lanuage, some help from people knowledgable in Catalonian artwork, or who know the Catalonian language very well would really hel. Also i wanted to know if the article crossed over with any articles in this Wikiproject. I know there is no explicit article on such a subject, but i wanted to know how much it crossed over with such pages as Spanish art. The article now rests at User:Coin945/Art of Catalonia. Thanks.--Coin945 (talk) 08:21, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Looks very good, but maybe it would be better to ask at Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts? Best of luck. --Kleinzach 10:42, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

1930 Italian Art Exhibition, London

From January - March 1930, an exhibition of Italian Arts was held at Burlington House, Piccadilly. The exhibition attracted a record crowd, and a return exhibition of British arts in Italy was arranged for 1932, which meant an amendment of an Act of Parliament to allow it to go ahead. This exhibition surely deserves an article, but it's way outside my area of knowledge. I only came across it because the treasures were transported aboard the Leonardo da Vinci, insured for £14,000,000. Mjroots (talk) 07:39, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Can you help the newcomers with some easy tasks?

Hello, I am working with the Account Creation Improvement Project (my latest report is here). Now I need your help to find some easy things for newcomers to do.

To guide the new users into working on the articles, we have created a step-by-step process that starts right after the new user has provided a username and a password. Here is the first step. If you click on "arts", for instance, you go to a page where you are asked to state your skills. And based on your choice there, you go to a page that combines these two choices. Here is what it looks like if you choose copyediting.

Right now, that list of articles that needs copyediting in the field of arts, has been created manually by a rather small set of users. That is not a scalable solution. Especially considering that these articles could very well be edited by the time we have created all the lists.

That's why my question to you in WikiProject arts is if you could create four templates for each of the four skillsets: Copyediting, Research & Writing, Fact checking, and Organizing - and keep them updated? We could then transclude those templates in the account creation process.

This is probably one of the most efficient things you can do in this project. Yes, really! There are roughly 5-7000 new users - each day. Around 30% of them start to edit. So if only a sixth of them sees the arts templates, that's around 250 potential new editors in your field - each day. Possibly more. And they want and need something easy to do. Some of them will continue to edit if they think that the tasks are fun and they are welcomed into the project.

So, what do you say about those templates?

I will gladly answer any questions you may have about this question or the project. Best wishes//Hannibal (talk) 16:44, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Isn't there a standard template? Only about 2 editors really watch this page & neither of us do templates. All of what action there is is at the main projects supposedly "co-ordinated" here, but which in practice aren't. Johnbod (talk) 17:18, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for your reply. What I was after wasn't a complicated template - just a list of articles, like the one I linked to about copyediting. But I'll ask on the other projects as well. Best wishes//Hannibal (talk) 17:28, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I may be the third person watching this page... I thought I know what templates were but I'm not sure what you mean here. Should the Copyediting "template" contain a list of articles that require copy edit and that are reasonably easy for a newcomer to handle? Or did I got it wrong? --Anneyh (talk) 14:05, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Peer Review

Hello! I submitted the Irish Stepdance article for a Peer Review here. Since it falls under the scope of this WikiProject, I was wordering if anyone take a look and comment? Thanks! ReelAngelGirl Talk to me! Tea? 20:52, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Why does this project not have a template for tagging articles?

This WikiProject should have a template for tagging articles that belong in its scope. There are numerous articles that deal with "The Arts" in the same broad sense as this project, thus they cannot fit under any of the sub-projects such as Dance or Painting or Poetry, etc. Roger (talk) 14:59, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

For example? This project is effectively moribund, & there is no point in tagging for a project like that. Johnbod (talk) 16:00, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

It probably is moribund precisely because it doesn't "own" any articles, consequently it doesn't have a "to do" list. Articles such as Arts Council England, Disability in the arts or Society for Arts don't fit in any of the "subdivisions" because they are about "The Arts". Roger (talk) 16:20, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

No, most wikiprojects are nearly moribund, no matter how many thousands of articles they have tagged, or how long their to-do list is. The activity in this area is understandably concentrated at more specific levels. Some people seem to think that tagging accomplishes some useful end by itself, but if there is no follow-up it doesn't. Johnbod (talk) 15:02, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

I think it would be helpful to have such a thing so that we could understand the scope and breadth of articles related to the arts in Wikipedia.--RichardMcCoy (talk) 13:22, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

We have categories for that. Project tags imply to the reader that they might be able to get help or contact active editors here, which isn't really the case. I have no real objection so long as the tags only go on articles that don't fall under one of the sub-projects; I would object to duplicating tags. It would have to be done manually to avoid this I think. Johnbod (talk) 15:02, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Johnbod's last comment here. Personally, I could see some tagging on articles that don't fall within the scope of any more specific "arts" related projects, or, alternatively, if we found a very highly regarded reference work, like an encyclopedia or dictionary, dealing with the general field of "the arts". I personally don't myself know of such a reference source, but there is a lot of stuff I don't know, even if I very rarely acknowledge that. But some sort of tagging for articles relating to the arts in general that don't fall within the scope of more focused arts projects wouldn't be unreasonable, and, possibly, articles that are about the arts in general, perhaps tagged by more focused WikiProjects for a section or two, but which as a whole don't fall entirely within the scope of any of the child projects, might reasonably be tagged for this project as well, although I'm less sure about that. I am still, very slowly admittedly, getting together the list of reference works reviewed on the JSTOR site, and, when and if I actually finish that, the information from that might be useful as well. John Carter (talk) 16:11, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Right. When I said "so long as the tags only go on articles that don't fall under one of the sub-projects" I meant "exclusively fall under...". So if Arts Council England is tagged for the Theatre project etc, then an Arts tag is still ok, but the National Gallery should only be tagged for Visual arts. Johnbod (talk) 00:33, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I could probably create the banner template for assessments, but I think it would be a good idea first if we both knew we had enough articles to make the use of such a banner reasonable, which is generally about 100 or so, and exactly how they are relevant to this project. So, for instance, if there were 200 articles on general "arts organizations," and about five other total (making these numbers up here), it might make more sense to have a WikiProject Arts organizations or Arts organizations task force of some other project rather than assessing for this project. Anyone know where the articles this project might tag could be found, like categories or whatever? John Carter (talk) 20:52, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Start at Category:Arts. Although many of its subcategories relate to specific art forms which have their own wikiprojects there are still many that don't fit. Not only "Arts organisations" but also "concept" articles and subcategories such as Art and culture law, Category:Disability in the arts, Category:Aesthetics, Economics of the arts and literature, and so on. There is a lot of scope for this project to "own" articles and even entire categories which are not about a specific art form. Roger (talk) 09:19, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

That's fine, but are you volunteering to do the work here? Or is anyone else? I won't be, & we need to work out if we have any boots on the ground before setting up new "task forces" etc. Johnbod (talk) 12:08, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

My experience with WikiProjects (I'm one of the founders of WP:WikiProject Disability) is that when a project starts tagging articles some of the editors who watch the articles turn up at the WikiProject and become active members - That's how WikiProject Disability grew from only three founders to the current twenty or so active participants. We can also notify the other Arts related projects about the "revival" of this project. Roger (talk) 12:26, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

My experience is rather the opposite, but I can see there would be unfulfilled demand for a Disability project. That is not the case here, where the project has started and then effectively stopped. In my experience most editors here have pretty specific interests, and it is hard enough to get people interested at the level of "dance", "visual arts" etc, never mind "arts", where many of the articles are on pretty dry topics, & little edited. But I will duck out of this conversation & let you get on with it, so long as there is not too much duplicate tagging, which I will object to. Johnbod (talk) 12:48, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

To answer the question in the subject line: because no one created one. The project exists and although it serves as an umbrella for many subprojects, I see no reason that a template couldn't be created to be used for those articles that don't neatly fit into a subcategory. Someone just has to do it...be bold! J04n(talk page) 14:37, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

(e-c) First, I think the Aesthetics articles are already covered by the Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy/Aesthetics, aren't they? I am myself, as Johnbod probably knows, one of the people who for some years went around creating the pages for various new projects and task forces, and, yeah, many if not most wind up falling inactive rather soon. Often that is because they don't have any clear, obvious indicators of what sources are available for the subject, like journals, magazines, reference works and the like. While it might not be a bad idea to try to revive this project, I think it would first make sense to give any potential members a reason to join it and watch its pages, with things like lists of potential sources or other things that would make the project space pages useful to the editors involved in the content. John Carter (talk) 14:43, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Having a bunch of articles all wearing the project's "tag" inherently gives the participants a "to do list": maintain, expand, improve these articles. That's the basic function of WikiProjects. I would create a project template if I had the skills to do so. Demanding that a project first provides a list of sources before even looking at the relevant articles that already exist, is putting the cart before the horse. Sources are found on an article by article basis - not on a project-wide scale. If that's the premise on which this project used to be run it's no wonder it's dormant. Roger (talk) 17:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

I think you may have missed my point. Yes, there is an inherent "to-do" list with tagging, but there are to-do lists of that sort with pretty much every dormant WikiProject to - they don't seem to have done anything to stimulate involvement. The purpose of my suggestion of finding some sources which editors could use was not so much to "tell" them where to look, but to give such editors some help. And you will notice I did ask for a list of articles, or categories, that exist, and at least one of the major categories, Category:Aesthetics, is already covered by a dedicated group. Yes, it helps to look for sources on an article-by-article basis, but if that is all the editors involved do, then what is the purpose of the project? Editors could look things up on their own just as they do now. So, can anyone find a list of articles which would be covered by this project? Once we have that, then it would be easier to find out what benefits an active WikiProject would give interested editors if it were made active again. But if all the project would be is a list of related articles, well, the categories already do that. John Carter (talk) 17:52, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Category:Arts

Maybe this has been raised recently, but the Category:Arts seems to contain largely visual arts categories, rather than adopt the broad definition outlined in the Arts article.
Shouldn't the category also contain the top categories for other areas of the arts, such as Category:Music, Category:Literature, Category:Theater etc.?
In the meantime I've moved some obvious 'Visual arts' categories, such as Category:Art by nationality? to Category:Visual arts. Sionk (talk) 23:17, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Painting by Charles Christian Nahl

I was just looking at the article Isthmus of Panama, and a painting by Charles Christian Nahl caught my attention, so I clicked on the image to read more. I then read the article about the painter. I saw the same painting in the gallery of the article on Nahl, but the caption was different.

The caption of the painting in the article Isthmus of Panama is:

• An 1850 oil painting by Charles Christian Nahl, titled, The Isthmus of Panama on the height of the Chagres River.

The caption of the painting in the gallery in the article on Charles Christian Nahl is:

• Incident on the Chagres River (1850), now in the Bancroft Library,

which matches the title below the image, but when you click on "More details", you see the file name, which is in German:

• Der Isthmus von Panama auf der Höhe des Chagres River.

It looks like the title in the first caption is an attempt at a translation from the German. It also seems like the painting has two different names. Would you say that one is wrong and the other is right (the German, and its translation), or that both are correct? It's a bit odd.  - Corinne (talk) 03:08, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Maybe the simple answer is it is known by several different names. Sionk (talk) 20:28, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Art reviews?

I'm currently in a GA Review with Billie Nipper, a Tennessee artist who specialized in painting horses as well as some landscapes. The reviewer asked about critical reception of her work, and I can't find any, although she was definitely notable. Does anyone know of a reliable website where her art might be reviewed or something? Thanks. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 19:45, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Flora (Alexandra) Ogilvy

Is Flora Ogilvy, aka Flora Alexandra Ogilvy, a person of encyclopedia-worthy note in the art world? Please comment under "Encyclopedic?" within Talk:Flora Ogilvy. Thanks. -- Hoary (talk) 23:57, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

I've changed the articles to redirect them to that on her father. -- Hoary (talk) 00:56, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Missing topics list

My list of missing topics in art is updated - Skysmith (talk) 12:24, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Skysmith - good to know about this list! It has always surprised me that Wikipedia does not have an article on Political Art (there is Protest art, but that is not the same). Political art has a long, international history. Just a thought..... Netherzone (talk) 16:15, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

intellectual work with creative characteristics

Would you recognize this if you saw it? Would you recognize its absence? Would you wonder whether any judgement you might make would be a matter of verifiable fact? If you'd enjoy a little polite argufying over such matters, try this deletion discussion. (Hat tip to Materialscientist.) -- Hoary (talk) 14:19, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi There,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:R_Nandakumar

Need help in this article. R Nandakumar is a noted art critic and his works have been cited by prominent authors from across the world. His works have been published in many magazines and academic journals in India and abroad. He has been conferred the Kerala Puraskar Award in the year 2007 by Kerala Lalithakala Akademi and has been the senior fellow of Nehru Memorial Museum & Library. His article is being rejected several times and the editors seem to not understand the value of the awards and contribution made by R Nandakumar. Is there any way I could improve the article?

Thank you. 11:58, 20 January 2017 (UTC) -- Preceding unsigned comment added by Tirutirutiru (talk o contribs)

Articles that are proposed for deletion, then scoped

The article Amanda Burk was proposed for deletion and I templated it as part of this project; it did not, however, turn up under Wikipedia:WikiProject_Arts#Article alerts, presumably because of the order of the two acts. Not sure how the listing works, but could this be fixed? The article is being written by a newbie who probably, like many people new to Wikipedia editing, didn't know about project templates.HLHJ (talk) 22:28, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Watercolor painting

I'm just plopping this here to bring it to the attention of anyone with enough expertise to tackle it. This is a pretty important article, sits at about 600 page views per day steady going back a very long time, and is just in god awful shape. It's very nearly devoid of references, and that's after removing about 10,000 words that were just pure unadulterated original research. I'm happy to help, but I'm afraid I really just don't know much about the subject. TimothyJosephWood 13:10, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
