I would have thought that lynchings of
might be more idiomatic, but here we have lynchings against
. The linked article has plenty of of
and no instances of against
. I don't want to mess around with an FA and a usage that I don't know, but I just wondered if you had considered the possibility? Thanks and best wishes

Recently, Art Bridges has taken down the painting catalog for The Thankful Poor. It was not archived on web archive, so if anyone could find an alternative archive link, it would be greatly appreciated. GeneralPoxter ( talk • contribs) 16:24, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
I meant to mention this: [1] which adds a bit more colour on the Cosby purchase, and confirms the sale to Art Bridges.
Glad the painting has reappeared on the Art Bridges website. Looks like it is going on loan to Dallas. [2] Theramin ( talk) 00:16, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
I know it's established in the article already with sources and everything, but does anyone else think the way that the article talks about Tanner "possibly" drawing inspiration from white artists is problematic? The way it's written seems to question (to this editor) Tanner's validity. Likeanechointheforest ( talk) 18:24, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
I think you're right the statement is a little speculative. I do not know why. 2600:1700:64B7:4450:51EF:5089:B43:DE02 ( talk) 20:00, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
Hold up, not all of the content that was just removed was "incredibly speculative" in any way. They are all statements corroborated by qualified and expert art sources, and I don't see why it needs to be removed because of that. It offers important artistic context and insight into what experts believe to be Tanner's artistic inspiration. @ Likeanechointheforest: You can't just delete all that from the article without addressing the concern I raised above, and furthermore, the content you removed didn't even correspond with the initial concern you raised (that the sentence "The composition possibly draws inspiration from American artist Elizabeth Nourse's 1891 painting Le Repas en Famille (The Family Meal)..." was troublesome). In fact, that was the only sentence you did not delete in the entire paragraph. GeneralPoxter ( talk • contribs) 19:51, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
Could someone sort this piece of nonsense please? 2A00:23C7:2B89:BE00:EDDD:AA14:AD30:F232 ( talk) 13:08, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
I have had to revert this rather silly practice twice (although why I was reverted without any rationale is beyond me: maybe next time M-Mustapha would like to try and a. read edit summaries and engage brain before reverting, and b. Use an edit summary to explain what exactly you thought you were doing).
The reverting was, as I said in my edit summary, because Google book links do not archive well, and could possibly be a copyright violation if you are copying from an unauthorised source to an unauthorised one. In this instance one of the archived pages came up partly in Indonesian, another partly in Arabic. This is not helpful. I would advise reading Wikipedia:Google Books and Wikipedia, particularly point four. 2A00:23C7:2B89:BE00:C545:4960:E74A:2CAB ( talk) 18:33, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
