Hi DilletantiAnonymous, I see you added a lot of articles about paintings I added to Wikidata. Nice! Would you mind adding {{Infobox artwork/wikidata}} when you create a new article about a painting? This will fetch quite a bit of (sourced) metadata and an image from the Wikidata item (if available). Thanks, Multichill (talk) 11:25, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't add the wikidata infobox template, see the discussion at wikiproject visual arts. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:15, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because of the tags above I was able to see your Ribera pages and have added them to the {{Jusepe de Ribera}} template, which is looking good. Can you maybe list other artists you have worked on where pages for the template may have been missed? Thanks. And do you take requests (Pre-Raphaelites please?)? Randy Kryn (talk) 12:59, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please work on this in draftspace? I see my name appears on your talk page 45 times - I've spent a lot of time trying to clean up the referencing on your articles. If you need help, see

I moved it to mainspace after a little cleanup. The sources are sufficient, and all major paintings such as this are appropriate for an article.

But I must give you some advice:

It is nowadays considered unhelpful to write such minimal stubs, especially when there is an abundance of good material available--and most especially when there is a decent article in another Wikipedia to use as a basis. (In such cases, at the very least, add the tag for expand language, such as I have done to several of your recent articles, so people know there is more to be found)

For content such as this, it is probably best to translate the entire article if it is of high quality, but you may abridge or adapt it in any way that you like. When you do these translations/adaptation, be aware that the Italian and German WPs interpret the sourcing requirement differently than the English WP -- we much prefer to have detailed sourcing to specific references, not just references at the end. If you can clean this up, do, but if not, in any case give all the references from the original, so others know to work on it. Though it may sometimes seem that our enWP coverage is mainly of more trivial topics, we do have many editors who can work on these. You might want to ask Pharos, the Wikipedian in Residence at the Metropolitan Museum of New York, for assistance when dealing with artworks, though I don't think he does translations specifically. (I can help with that part a little, but I really don't have the time to do as much as I would like). DGG ( talk ) 06:22, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

please remember to at least add the "expand language" tags. DGG ( talk ) 19:59, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I didn't click on the source. Three sources seems a high bar, I thought just one good source is needed for notability. And the artwork image itself seems a good source. I would think that existing paintings exhibited in notable museums, especially those with articles in other Wikipedias, should pass the process with one good citation.

Thanks for summarizing the policy guideline. But from your understanding and description of it I would estimate that 80-90% of Wikipedia's visual arts pages don't contain three such in-depth sources. Articles about paintings and sculptures considered important surely do, and many thousands of English Wikipedia pages on the important topics meet that strict criteria. But there are tens of thousands of visual arts pages where one or two good sources has been sufficient, and that seems to be the tradition as well as the language from

WP:SIGCOV ("There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. Sources do not have to be available online or written in English"). You're talking about adhering to a more restrictive rule which would purge entire Art Wings of Wikipedia (AWW). Randy Kryn (talk) 18:54, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply

What the policy ACTUALLY SAYS is "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected".

User:CASSIOPEIA, please don't misrepresent policy. In the case of works of art, the museums's own publications such as catalogues are nearly always the best source, and, if well-used, should be efficient to establish notability. Johnbod (talk) 15:06, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply

Nonsense - the policy is clear, and that is your personal elaboration of it. You should not go around pretending that is what the policy says. Have a nice day! Your comments are valuable to us! Johnbod (talk) 03:36, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If a page is giving a 503 you could just check the wayback machine. Looks like a normal stub to me or does someone question the notability of this artwork? Multichill (talk) 22:08, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wow I am really sad to read this discussion. This is an incredibly important painting for several reasons and definitely belongs on Wikipedia for all of those reasons. I didn't check yet, but this file or another version of it are probably used in various articles all over Wikipedia in various languages. A 404 should not be a reason to deny the draft, but the reader should be, as Multichill says, prompted to retrieve the wayback version (which certainly exists in some form). Any google search will bring up a multitude of sources for this specific painting (maybe my google searches are heavily skewed to art though). In any case, here is an old catalog entry from the museum in italian) and here is a modern tweet by the museum [https://twitter.com/Capodimonte_mus/status/827276750472163329 with a color pic. It would be nice to include the catalog number of an independent Vernet catalog, but with all the incoming links the article stub just needs to prove the image is indeed the correct Naples one. The art world is such that for even important paintings such as this one, often the sources are not available online. The situation is sadly worse for artworks hanging in Italy than in other European countries. That does not mean they don't exist or that paintings in Italy are in any way less notable. Good Grief! Jane (talk) 08:46, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nice finds Jane, and comment.

CASSIOPEIA, maybe, since notability about artworks has been discussed here, you can take some time and go back into your editing history and rescue pages you may have inadvertently removed from visible space because of the misunderstanding about number of sources required. That would be nice, and beneficial to Wikipedia's art collection. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:45, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply

If it is indeed "an incredibly important painting for several reasons" the article does absolutely nothing to indicate or explain this (except that there is a copy in Versailles I suppose). I presume an "assertion of notability" still features in the AFD verbiage. Johnbod (talk) 16:10, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested that the Titian flight to Egypt painting page be brought back for further sources, alerted Wikiproject visual arts. DA, it'd be really cool if you could start to talk with Wikiproject members. I've added probably hundreds of your pages to the templates but I don't keep track of what you're working on and have probably missed many hundreds more which could be added to artist's templates. You do add your pages to categories (thanks), but watching category pages doesn't show added entries, and there have been many times I've clicked each entry on the template to see what is left over in the category. For example, I just added the Bullfight page to the Manet template, but there are 71 Manet's on the category page but only 58 now on the template. Now I'll have to click each one so I can then check the blue links on the category page to find the 13 that are missing. Template respect? Thanks.

Hi Randy I went ahead and saved this article, which seemed to be a short summary of the Italian. I didn't even know it was there. I removed the bits about attribution which are in the Italian wikipage but since I don't have that book I couldn't check. Anyways, having been taxed at 5 million pounds in 2002 it is definitely worth an article, so I restored an article to mainspace adding the references I do have. The other painting, if it turns out to indeed be a Titian related to this one, can always get its own article. This one is undisputed. Jane (talk) 15:23, 4 July 2019 (UTC)t[reply]

Jane023, nice work! Being sarcastic, but we should set up a team to augment DA's work. They don't seem to communicate, so it can be an at-a-distance DilletantiAnonymousAppreciationSociety (DAAS), and can take turns looking for new or past articles that they've posted to add to and template. Yearly meeting at MoMA or somewhere. I've appreciated DA's work for a long time, and their productivity is, at least for the present Wikipedia era, very beneficial to Wikipedia's visual arts collection. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:31, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree! I think that person has no notifications enabled.

Jane (talk) 04:32, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't know we could have no notifications enabled. Thanks, will look up Sailko. Would be nice if more teachers made a class project of writing new Wikipedia visual art articles, many would be surprised on some of the well known paintings and statues not presently represented in the encyclopedia, and the surprising number of underrepresented major artists and museums.

The references to the sources need more detail, so that someone looking at the article can see how it is sourced without following the links: publisher, title, and access-date (web records can change over time) are the bare minimum.

Both sources are from the museum owning the painting: please try to add more information from reliable independent sources. Wikipedia cannot just produce a parallel catalogue for major galleries. Thanks. PamD 15:01, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, DilletantiAnonymous. It has been over six months since you last edited the

You started the draft on March 5, 2019. But you had already written it as an article on July 3, 2018. You seem to have noticed this, based o nthe article edit history, but you should at that time have asked that the draft be deleted by placed a {{db-self}} tag at the top. That you didn't do this has made considerable extra work for me and another administrator in clearing it up. Please take greater responsibility for your work,. DGG ( talk ) 14:14, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

.

What is of course necessary is that you continue the translation from the French.

But in general:

Please, please, work first in Draft space, and as soon as there is a viable article with some references, submit it so it can be moved properly to main space. The easiest way to add at least a few references when translating is to simply copy the original ones as they stand. If they have been entered using a citation template, the template doe not copy over--I now just copy and paste the rendered text from the page, rather than fix the field names. If you add it to mainspace as soon as it's viable others can help. Or, of course, you can keep working on in in draft till it's finished. Your translations seem truly excellent. And, alternatively, work in main space, but add at least some references before you save it.

But what you absolutely should not do is write an incomplete article in main space without references. These will always get deleted or moved to draft, and then things get confusing. It's better to do it the way the system wants--in the end it saves trouble. I and several other admins have been trying to clean up your work . It would be a shame to have it lost because you did it in an unusual way and didn't follow up in time. You have 6 months, but after that it gets removed unless someone rescues it. Very few editors actually try to rescue--fortunately, I;m one of them, I'm interested in you subject field, and I am accustomed to doing WP translations , mainly from the French and German WPs (if they don't get too complicated--your French is considerably better than mine.

I am for now following up every one that got totally deleted, and trying to restore it at least to draft. I've also moved some incomplete drafts to main space. even though not all the sections were finished.

I'll give you any help I can, but I cannot count on finding time to continue doingthe sort of cleanup that you ought to be doing yourself. DGG ( talk ) 14:45, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I added the obvious reference to hte museum web p on the item , restored it, and accepted it. Please remember notto put others in a position where they needto rescue the articles that you start. I am continuing to rescue every one I can, but at some point I am likely to lose patience. DGG ( talk ) 21:22, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It technically meets our requirements for stubs, but it is confusing to beginners if you write an article as sketchy as this. DGG ( talk ) 21:17, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created,

Hello scope_creep, page lurker and DA fan here. You may be mistaken about the need to draft page this article, the two sources on the page seem fine to me, and include a link to the Museum catalog. That meets the criteria usually used for visual arts pages. Maybe take another glance. Thanks. The thought is that DA never looks at their talk page, which is too bad as maybe then they'd add their articles to templates. I've added hundreds of them to templates, and am pretty sure there are thousands I've missed. DA's contribution history contains undiscovered gems if someone wants to dive in and work the pages into the artist's templates. DA is good with adding artist categories, and I've often clicked on each entry on a template when I find that the category counts are higher than the amount of articles listed on the artist's template, and it's usually DA's articles which have ballooned them. This user is one of Wikipedia's hidden treasures, and is well known among the visual arts editors. Sometimes they have not used enough sources (mainly because a translated article doesn't include them), but this page seems to meet the bar. Thanks again.

Whoops, got the ping wrong last week. Hi Scope creep, and could you take another look at the page for the catalogue source mentioned? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:50, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
