There seem to be lots of new editors who have been editing just this one article. Has it been adopted as a school or university project of some sort? (I am not criticising - there is a lot of good work here: just wondering if someone would like to claim the credit at Wikipedia:School and university projects.) -- !! ?? 10:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, in fact this is a university project. Thank you for providing the link. --Barococo 14:41, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well done so far. It is clear that different parts of this article have been written by different hands: I take it the aim will be to produce a single, collaborative article, rather than a collection of thumbnail sketches? -- !! ?? 16:25, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. With a number of people working on it, right now it is mostly about getting information added. Certainly at the moment some editing is required, such as reducing a few areas that don't need to be so elaborate and expanding a few lacunae. In time, as is hoped from a collaborative effort, the individual voices will be softened and some of the technical aspects will be smoothed over. The project extends until November 9, so there will probably be frequent changes up until that time. --Barococo 17:42, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What's the critical attitude toward all these paintings?  To me they look like one huge commercial for a Renaissance politician, and it's dismaying that Rubens spend so much talent on it.73.137.170.88 (talk) 13:38, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
