Happy editing! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:15, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the welcome Grabergs. GISWikiAcct (talk) 21:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the heading for sources that have not actually been used to write the text, such as the two you have been spamming. They should nort be called "sources" when they are not, nor "references". Please sort this out on the pages where you have not been reverted, or all will be reverted. Johnbod (talk) 01:57, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Johnbod, fancy seeing you here: I came here for the same reason. GISWikiAcct, the three books you added to The Fortune Teller (La Tour) are not cited; it's as simple as that. Nor do I believe that the usual runaround, "Further reading", is very useful in the first place--there is no reason in my mind to not start making exhaustive bibliographies. Also, you added those titles to Saint Joseph--but, and this should be obvious, that De la Tour made a painting of St Joseph does not mean that monographs on the artist should appear in the article on the saint.

Thanks Johnbod for useful guidance. Done. GISWikiAcct (talk) 18:42, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Denial of Peter, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 16:37, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On Denial of St Peter, text directly relevant to the topic was inserted into the appropriate “In art and music” section, along with the citation including specific page numbers and corresponding source. Please clarify what is problematic with that. GISWikiAcct (talk) 18:25, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I missed that, but you spread that out over a number of edits, and honestly I still don't understand the last few edits. But that leaves all the other ones--Saint Peter, Saint Sebastian, etc. Drmies (talk) 22:37, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One of them is an exhibition catalogue, and for articles on a specific painting the entry on that painting, if it was in the exhibition, may be worth adding. That is much less likely to be the case for articles on the general subject, like Denial of Peter, and the references added are I think all to an introductory essay, not entries for specific works.
