California Plein-Air Revival was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 13 August 2013 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into California Impressionism. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.

This article is in need of a rewrite or some serious editing. It repeats the same topics (California Plein-Air Revival) again and again but written four different times by different authors.

I am willing to give a shot at cleaning this up, but I am not expert, just a hobby collector of California impressionists, which is what led me to this page.

I am working on a project to augment the very short and/or non-existent entries on the subject of California Impressionism, the largest Plein-Air painting movement in history. Initially I will be putting in references at the end of the article which will be numbered only after I have written more. Don't despair, lots of references to be added, this is a very well researched subject.

I can see you're busy improving the article; a couple of tips:

• Try to incorporate some of your references as inline-citations, as they're especially important in an article of this size.
• Consider using the

• Please remember to sign comments on talk pages such as this one with four tildes ~~~~.

Keep up the good work!

Please note that it's standard practice to have a single references section, and to include the code {{reflist}} or </references> in it to automatically list inline citations, added next to the appropriate sections wrapped in <ref/> tags. Many articles have hundreds of references but only a single section; if you use the cite templates it will be neater regardless. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 00:04, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Support change, as the original proposer. Better term, in that it suggests reference to the most important painters of this genre, from the early 20th century; in much the same way that French Impressionism is preferable to 'French Plein Air Painting'. JNW (talk) 02:19, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I don't have input (right now), but the request should have stayed open for well over 24 hours (usually a week) for others to have a say, if they so choose.

• Whichever title this goes by, I'm crystallizing what's problematic about this article, besides the poor sourcing, original research and non-neutral passages. Museum shows and publications use California Impressionism and California Plein Air Painting to refer to the movement that ended in 1930 [2], [3]; I'm not convinced that either term is appropriate for later and contemporary painters, and wonder if adding them isn't piggybacking on an art history term designating another era. I think 'Plein Air Revival' constitutes original research, as I've noted here [4]. The first reference (which I'm about to remove) is to an unpublished manuscript; perhaps it referred to this [5]. I've been suspecting conflict of interest, and while that's another matter, it would help to explain some of this. JNW (talk) 23:50, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
