Sorry, Modernist: I realized only afterwards that I had already tried last month to insert Constable's selfportrait in its right place in the gallery. I didn't mean at all to begin a war with you about that, but it proves that I can't remember what I did one month ago... (Must be the age...) But why on Earth do you want to give this portrait a much larger size and not place it chronologically with the others? Best regards. -- Pepys ( talk) 08:15, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Why are you undoing the corrections made? The article states, “A similar term to contemporary art is Modern art.” Contemporary art is not another term for Modern art. Many of the movements are incorrectly dated, for example Abstract Expressionism started in the 40s, not the 50s. There are duplicates of the movements under different decade headings; if you wish to show that the art movements go on beyond the period they started in this too is incorrectly conveyed, for example Abstract Expressionism which you desire to be listed under the 50s and 60s is a style that was still painted in the 70s, and the 80s, and even today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Undesignated ( talk • contribs) 12:18, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello Modernist,
I have written in the German Wikipedia this article: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manet_and_the_Post-Impressionists. Unfortunately I did not find with Google the correct address of the second gallery in Bond Street. I presume it was the address of the exhibition in 1910. The address of the first gallery was 8, Grafton Street, London. Perhaps you can help me? Greetings -- Alinea ( talk) 16:03, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Modernist, I'm a new editor and just wrote a couple of articles about the fourth dimension in art which touches upon Picasso, one about the 4th in literature, and am currently creating a new one about Picasso's (frankly bizarre) poetry. I think it should be mentioned in Picasso's entry about his attempts at poetry, if only in passing. The author of the Surrealist Manifesto Andre Breton reviewed his work, so whatever their quality the poems have some worth in reviewing. He seems to have fallen out with Stein over her criticisms. You seem to know a lot about this sort of stuff, I have a few questions as I'm not sure about several things:
If you can help with this, or know anyone who can, then I would be extremely grateful. The article is in development here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hillbillyholiday81/sandbox Hillbillyholiday talk 20:46, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

On 12 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Picasso's poetry, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Picasso's poetry has lines like "my grandmother's big balls are shining midst the thistles" and that one of his works depicts Franco as a jackbooted phallus? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Picasso's poetry. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Hi Modernist, you reverted the insertation of picassos Signature without reason. As you can read here, I am Wikipedian in Residence, autor since 2004 at de:WP. Whenever I insert a image, it will have a reliable source. Not difficult really, because I am sitting inbetween 90.000 books, 30.000 architectural plans and 600.000 photos. Not all free, not all historical. But enough for 20 years of work, if it would be possible for me to grasp it all. It is entirely my decision, what I sensed all of this stock.
What was the reason, you reverted me? Because I have not enough edits als Hubertl-AT? Don´t worry, I made some edits more than you, but that should not even be relevant. Imagine if I would actually be a new user. Do you think that leaves a good impression on him and he would be motivated to continue to work on Wikipedia? Or you suffer from an oversupply of authors in en:WP?
It also begs the question of whether it even make sense to do a cooperation project in the GLAM-sense when it produced images in Wikipedia should not be used. Thats what commons.wikimedia is for. It must be added that a total project cost of $ 25,000 has been invested from the WMF for that and additionally 3-4 years of my, of course, private unpaid time. -- Hubertl-AT ( talk) 07:29, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

I see that the image is currently FURed for 8 articles, 6 of which contain the image. However, I only think it is really needed at two articles (the work and the artist). Articles on broad art topics should only use the image if it is necessary based on the content of the prose. Then normal NFCC should apply.

Hi Modernist. Am in a spot of bother in the FAC for the above - its beeen mentioned that including the frames violates fair use terms, as its 3D - I'm not sure what that means. The suggestion is that we get a local editor in Dresden to take a pic and release the rights. I have a few issued with this - 1. the frames are heavily inscribed with lettering that comment on the individual panels, and showing and understanding them is fundemental. In fact they have a decidacted section in the page. 2. Photographing art works is a tricky business to say the least, and this work is a minituare to boot, so even a talented photographer is probably going to come back with a less than idea capture, compare to what we have (its from Google Art Project - and by far the highest res image available on the net). Have you come across a similar situation before, can you help build a FU rational that would allow us keep it. Tks. Ceoil ( talk) 17:27, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello Modernist,
I disagree on merging Informalism into Tachism, as Tachism is only a part of Art Informel or Informalism. Doing this would be an art history mistake. As I am not satisfied with what i have written for now, I am working on it. I would like to have your opinion on this. What I agree on is that I realized that my translation of the Spanish page, Informalismo, is not relevant because the Spanish page was not. I think as well written and comprehensive as the French one. I will redo the page using the French one as a model and complete it with right sources. Regarding merging Informalism under Tachism, I agree in merging both but under the umbrella of Informalism since that was the primary artistic movement and Tachism was a part of Informalism. Tachism is an informal process, a pictorial technique that certain Informalist painters developed but the majority of the Informalist used various techniques, including tachism.

This is not simply a matter of preference. If you haven't read the discussion, you need to.
There has been objection since April 2012 to the use of a 20th century reproduction object as the lead image, when there are thousands of genuine objects to chose from. The editors should have taken heed a year ago, before I bought into it.
I'm not keen on those Visigoth crowns, but another editor has them high on his list of preferences. The genuine Vendel crown (one revert back) was better.

you don't like packed galleries. These were introduced about 3 months ago by the WMF and I like them in many places. They almost eliminate the wide borders that dominate the earlier galleries, i.e. you can see the pictures much better.
May I ask you to play around with the mode=packed option and see how galleries can now be better formatted? I think in many cases people's eyes are just used to one option and a new option just jumps out and surprises them. After seeing the new option for awhile, it might however be less surprising and more useful. I'm just asking that you try something new, not that you revert these back.

Hi Modernist,
you recently added a link to a Haaretz interview with Joel Levi to the external links section. Unfortunately I do not have a subscription, is there any other place to find the full text of this interview? Or is there a freely available interview with the same information somewhere else? It seems that he was interviewed by several TV stations and papers on the discovery and restitution issues. Thanks! -- ( talk) 22:24, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
You reverted my edit of Bracha L. Ettinger. I think you felt that I removed valid references. Could you please explain how the references cited support the claim that the Bracha L. Ettinger is "among the most influential [..] contemporary painters" . I've carefully reviewed the references and I don't see anything that supports that claim. I believe they're invalid references. It is perhaps worth noting that the editor who made the edit that I take issue with on 4 September, Cosmotraumatika, claims to be a "Student, applicant and Wikipedia digital archiver for artist, philosopher and psychoanalyst Bracha Ettinger".

I do appreciate your work so far, however we don't remove valid references like those in the lede in the Ettinger article. While I agree the claim was over exaggerated - and the rhetoric was somewhat over the top - and needed changing, modifying, editing etc. We edit - we make clear - we don't erase references. Please use the talk pages in the future before removing references, thanks... Modernist ( talk) 04:06, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Regarding your statement - I've carefully reviewed the references and I don't see anything that supports that claim. I believe they're invalid references. - They are valid references regarding Ettinger as a notable figure; although they do not support the claim - (agreed) then remove the claim, we don't throw out the baby with the bathwater...

Hi Modernist, I wanted to reach out to you because I've encountered your edits many times on articles about art and museums in New York City and really appreciate your work. I also wanted to extend my greeting as Wikipedian in Residence at the Metropolitan New York Library Council. I have been at METRO since August and have been trying to reach out to New York Libraries, Archives, and Museums to get them hosting Wikipedians and also editing internal on their collections. I would be curious to know if you have any interest in GLAM-wiki or have already been involved. I also thought I might invite you to the Edit-a-Thon that we just started planning for February 1st in Chelsea at Eyebeam Gallery. Details coming soon.

I fully appreciate the use of galleries in articles, but seventy-five images lumped together in a seemingly random manner is not an effective way to present an artist's work. - every painting deserves to be there... Modernist ( talk) 02:31, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
Images need careful choosing and placement. - and who do you think you are to imply they were not carefully chosen - HOW DARE YOU... Modernist ( talk) 02:31, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
The images, either singly or together, have to convey information. - And they do... Modernist ( talk) 02:31, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
In a gallery, this needs to be done by very careful arrangement. See for example
Sketch (drawing) where twenty-two images have been used to illustrate the medium, the styles and the purposes of sketching by some of the world's greatest artists over 500 years. The images were chosen from hundreds available, and were laid out in four rows of five, as carefully as if they were in a printed publication or on the walls of a gallery. irrelevant bullshit...

The article on Monet needs work. Some of the expression is very naive. I will put it on my list. Meanwhile, I suggest that you restore my changes. I don't want to get into an edit war, but "Monet was a famous painter" simply isn't a good enough reason for having a mish-mash of images jammed together without though or rationale. - Then learn a little about painting...

You are one of a handful of editors with more than 25 edits at Talk:Ernest Hemingway. There is a debate at Talk:Ernest_Hemingway#Ernest_Hemingway_templates regarding the inclusion of {{ To Have and Have Not}}, {{ The Old Man and the Sea}}, {{ The Killers (short story)}}, {{ For Whom the Bell Tolls}}, {{ A Farewell to Arms}}, {{ The Sun Also Rises}} on the article. Previously at WP:NOVEL a discussion was held when editing at Fyodor Dostoyevsky got contentious. The discussion was held in May 2013 at a broad level regarding editors with multiple templates like these. At the time Charles Dickens, Stephen King, Jane Austen, H. G. Wells, Mark Twain, Jules Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert Louis Stevenson, Agatha Christie, Bram Stoker, Felix Salten, Arthur Conan Doyle, Truman Capote, Curt Siodmak, Dashiell Hammett, Émile Zola, Washington Irving, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Oscar Wilde (mostly plays), Alexandre Dumas, Hans Christian Andersen, Nikolai Gogol, Leo Tolstoy, Edgar Allan Poe, A. J. Cronin, Ernest Hemingway, H. P. Lovecraft, John Steinbeck, Herman Melville, Wilkie Collins, H. Rider Haggard, Thomas Hardy, Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, Henryk Sienkiewicz, John Wyndham were all in this group. Since then William Shakespeare has been added based on discussions at WP:BARD. That discussion reached no consensus but the closer suggested reopening debate on the group as a whole or on a subset with five or more templates which might be handled differently than those with fewer templates. He made no suggestion that the debates should devolve to debates at each individual author's page. The group with 5 or more would be Hemingway, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Stephen King, Jane Austen, H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Oscar Wilde, and Hans Christian Andersen. My interpretation of the current debate is centering on whether Hemingway should be laid out differently than this peer group of authors in the sense that this article be the only one with these templates removed. Please come join the discussion.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:56, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Dear Modernist
I am glad to invite you to join us in an international GLAMwiki event, organised by Amical Wikimedia and Barcelona’s Fundació Miró. This event, called “
Joan Miró Global Challenge”, will take place next 10th May, and it will consist of a 10-hour Wikipedia editing party, where wikipedians from all around the world will be welcome to edit together to reach the goal of making 10 key articles about Joan Miró and his artworks available in at least 10 languages. More information about the whole project can be found in
this post at the Wikimedia Foundation blog.
We would appreciate it if you could spread the word and invite the members of your community to participate. Also, we have contacted some newcomer editors (especially in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Chile, and the United States) that would have a better editing experience if they were accompanied by some experienced wikipedians.
The project is getting more exciting as time goes by and we would like to share it as much as we can. We thank you for your help in advance, and will be happy to help if any clarification is needed.
Best regards!-- ESM ( talk) 18:37, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Concerning your comments about my "The Slave Ship" edit: I did not do any of these things: I simply corrected a wrong analysis of Turner's painting. The source I referenced, George P. Landow, is a professor (I think emeritus) of English and Art History at Brown University: Isn't that reliable?
I don't understand your comment. The view of the painting I present is, I think, the consensus of art critics and historians, not any sort of "original research" (I am a professor but not of Art) or "synthesis". I am really puzzled by how Wikipedia is working here. Just take a look at the painting and read about its history and Turner's hatred of slavery. How can one interpret this painting as just about the ascendency of nature -- without a single mention of slavery? Who wrote this nonsense? It is a narrow and overly academic bit of fiddle faddle. Who's the actual Wiki-referee here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbridger ( talk • contribs) 14:33, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi there. With articles like Musée Matisse (Nice), Matisse Museum (Le Cateau) and An Essay on Matisse, I do think there's some content that is crying out to be included in Template:Matisse. I was going to add a "Related" field, but there are so many already. Do you think there might be a way to perhaps merge Teachers/Collectors/Family into a single "People" field? Or should I just go ahead and add a ninth group to the template? thanks, Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 18:53, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

I made that gallery to look like I reverted to, I am just trying to say so. Why aren't you happy with it? I mean one puts down quite a lot of effort to put together pictures, colours, forms, sizes, verticals, horisontals, - like making it for a real gallery or thinking about their placement as it would be in a museum on the walls. Hafspajen ( talk) 22:48, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you reverted my edit to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art article. I made the edit because 1) with only four rows, in wide browser windows the gallery leaves extra white space on the right, space which could more profitably used for the images; and 2) because per the MOS, editors should "[i]alicize only the elements of the sentence affected by the emphasis. Do not italicize surrounding punctuation."

I noticed you reversed my deletion of a section in the article covering Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe. The section consisted almost entirely of a very long, uncontextualized quote. This is a very poor way to present others' ideas. I deleted it outright because it seemed like much of what Zola said had been mentioned in the previous section. I can take a stab at incorporating mention of Zola and his ideas in this section (without excessive quotation) to make sure his points aren't lost, but you seem more knowledgeable about the topic.

Hello Modernist. There is an important debate transpiring in the Cubism Talk page that you might be interested in. In any case, I would be interested in hearing your point of view, based on you knowledge of the subject, about the relations between Cubism, Futurism and Constructivism, the latter two as possible variants of the movement that would become known as Cubism in 1911.

Dear Modernist, some major changes have been made recently to the Antoine Bourdelle article. I've just reverted to an older version. I've explained why at Talk:Antoine Bourdelle. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Please look at the version which I removed. Here is what it looked like before I reverted. Notice the layout!!! There is likely some useful content within that version which will probably need to be added to the current article. Until then, I think a discussion is needed. Thanks.

First off, the only comment you offered, in a single edit summary, was not needed - this is a list of American artists, whereas some prior discussion on my talk page would have been welcome. Leaving that aside, I really don't see the value of restricting the template in question to the three pages you suggest. I would have thought that the utility of a direct link between the various List of artists pages would be obvious. We already have it for the European pages. Would you be happier if the visable title of the NavBox was simply Artists by Nationality rather than Lists of ? Best regards, 14GTR ( talk) 18:49, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
That hardly answers my question. I notice you have also reverted several other edits of mine such as the addition of Mary Adshead's name to the list of British artists and also changes I made to the Irish and Israeli lists. Care to explain those changes ? 14GTR ( talk) 13:22, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello there Modernist -- Not sure if you are aware of it but there are quite a few revert edits you made just now that are deleting content that was part of a Wikipedia GLAM Editathon held at the Guggenheim Museum yesterday. The museum donated 100 artworks to Wikipedia and the images were added to Galleries on the respective pages -- in addition to adding works using the Guggenheim external links template. Would you consider reverting your edits that removed the efforts of the Editathon? BrillLyle ( talk) 13:25, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, why did you remove my entry? I think the painting of MM is a good supplementary as there is no other MM-portrait available from other Pop artists. I also sorted the images by years of creation. As the paragraph is a gallery, I think it makes sense to add a painting especially from MM as a typical Pop art subject. Can you please add the painting, former size and sorting can remain unchanged if you prefer. Thanks and best regards, Norbert Schott ( talk) 17:34, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello!
First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)
Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej ( talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Just to let you know, you're recent edit to David (Michelangelo) re-added a bunch of vandalism that had been removed by an IP editor. I realize you were probably trying to do the opposite, and I reverted the article back to before the vandalism took place. Just thought I'd leave a friendly reminder to check the article history, and the content of edits, before reverting.
