Request
Johnbod. I got your name from the
I posted a peer review request at WikiProject Biography but my request has sat dormant for about three months now because that project is dead. I didn't know that when I posted a request. Could you please review my article? I am most concerned about the tone because I have been criticized in the past about this article lacking NPOV. I also read an essay on another editor's userpage that single topic editors don't know how to have NPOV. Well... I'm a single topic editor. So since I only edit dance related articles and since I've been accused of lacking NPOV I could really use another set of eyes. If you have the time, please help. I would appreciate it. If you don't, let me know anyway so that I can ask another editor. //Gbern3 (talk) 07:55, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Out of the blue question about shelves
I went to the British Museum in August, having in mind a couple of artifacts I wanted to photograph and put on Commons (Egyptian, of course). I photographed one artifact but couldn't get a good shot of the other, because it was in the King's Library on a high shelf. I was irked at being defeated by something so basic. My question, assuming you're fairly familiar with the museum, is: are those shelves perpetually out of reach for non-staff, or is there some way to get a better look? Not that I could take advantage of it now, but it would just seem kind of stupid if no visitors could ever properly see or photograph those things. A. Parrot (talk) 19:23, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
- No, I think you've had it with those. They don't normally make special arrangements for photography, in galleries or in the "student's rooms" (they probably have similar items in store), not even tripods. In the depts I know you can't normally photo in the students rooms at all, except on special "behind the scenes" days. You could wait for a basketball player to pass by I suppose....

Not guilty
[2] Just to clarify my position, I haven't read or commented on the discussion about cultural or historical origins of the images because I don't think it's relevant until the article actually discusses such notions. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 06:00, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Ajanta Caves
Hi John. The removed material related to a series of edits in December 2005 which were made by User:Rksingh1970. He is by his own admission an art historian actively documenting the caves. His analysis (while something of worth) was technical, rarely contextualised, and (most importantly) not reflected in any other literature (besides one sentence discussing the opinion of his fellow historian Walter Spink).
As brutal as it maybe doing this kind of "article surgery", I think it was a necessary decision to start building a more generalised article that is better for readers and complies with Wikipedia's policy and style. That said, if you have a reasonable counter-argument, then feel free to revert me! SFB 14:14, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Depictions of Muhammad
I'm not disagreeing with the changes you are making. I'm just saying that you need to add some sources because that page is so hotly contested. The calligraphy statement could be sourced and have a photo. Alatari (talk) 18:42, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
- I know, early days. Actually I don't see the kilywe/calligraphy stuff as at all controversial but who knows. We don't have an ideal photo in the Commons category other than the one I've used - because of unclear sources - but I suspect there are others not categorized there somewhere. I can't actually read Arabic, which of course doesn't help. Johnbod (talk) 20:03, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
IMTranslator add-on for Firefox/Chrome translates Arabic surprisingly well but it has to be in ASCII text. Those are probably pics and archaic at that so guess it would n;t help. But if your research takes you to modern speaking arabic web pages, maybe you'll find it of some use? TinEye add-on searches the web for pictures. You are doing a great job. Alatari (talk) 20:19, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Johnbo!
Where are you? I haven't heard from you for ages. Don't you know I want to discuss Romanesque secular and domestic architecture with you? I think that it would be a good idea to split it and start an article on Monastic architecture. It would be relatively easy to do an article of monastic architecture of the catholic tradition, but there would be yells and howls that it was not inclusive. So what do I call it.
Also, there I want little something I want to know more about. The depiction of the Deposition. Ceoil is hard at work on The Entombment (Bouts). Some of the referenced material seems dubious to me- the suggestion that Bouts based this picture on a little sculptural group included in a work by van der Weyden seems most unlikely, but several people have stated it so its well-referenced. In fact, the RvdW detail is quite generic. Both he and Bouts would have seen sculptured altarpieces with bits just like it. Can you throw any light on this?

- See [3], [4], [5]. I was getting a little worried that Gruber appears to mistranslate koltuk (it does not mean "sleeve", and neither Osborn nor Derman translate it as such, cf. [6], [7], [8]), so I slightly de-emphasised the aspect of visual approximation of a body in the layout itself which the other sources don't remark upon. We should probably standardise the ref format -- but tomorrow, time for me to turn in as well now. Best, --JN466 09:26, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello Johnbod. During my search for sources for this article I found out by accident (your username popped out when I searched on Google the book 'Monuments of Medieval Art') that you are an active editor interested in medieval illuminated manuscripts. Today I created an article about two illuminators who were active in the 12th century in my country. They even depicted themselves (including signatures) in two manuscripts. I guess it was an unusual act for an 'artist' living in 12th century. I'm no expert and during my work I used news reports rather than scholarly sources. I find the story very interesting and funny [sic], as it says something (very little, I admit) about an artist living in the era when the term 'artist' in our sense of the word didn't exist. Would you mind to take a look at the article and maybe check the terminology and grammar? I don't want to bother you, so fell free to ignore my request if you are not interested. Best regards. --

John, do you know the name for the red head-dress in this pic. I'm tempted to call it a cap. Tks. Ceoil (talk) 19:59, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
- I should think that would do. It looks like a Florentine cap, but does one want to use whatever the Italian word for those was? Johnbod (talk) 20:06, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
- The Italian word? Looks blankly. I'll be in London early in December, can you let me know if there will be any meet-ups or whatever. I'm very impressed by the GLAM project, would like to get involved. I have an interest in archaeology, a lot of my early pages on wiki were on standing stones etc. Problem is, given my track record a lot of the people there would probably want to choke me on sight. I'm not joking. Ceoil (talk) 20:11, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
- Well there's an Italian word for the Florentine ones, but is there much point in using that for the Netherlands, if one remembered the name? The London meetup is pretty well always 2nd Sunday of the month, so should be the 11th. It would be great to see you, & also to get something going with NMI etc. Email with dates.

Hi John. There seems to be consensus for a small section covering depictions of Muhammad at Muhammad. You seem to be across the topic. If you favour such a section, do you feel like composing something? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 13:48, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- I must have missed consensus on anything there! Including that edit of yours just now, though I do happen to feel that was probably the most dispensible image - now we have the same number as the "fringe" Iranians. I'll take a look - of course we had such a section until recently, if I can ever find it. Johnbod (talk) 13:58, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. I just read through the whole talk page. Ugh. I mooted such a section and over the last week or so several editors from both sides of the great divide have commented positively. None has opposed. Seems both appropriate and non-controversial. Feel free to differ. Wrt the stone image, I'm not following the argument about the various dates and traditions, I removed it because it's a minor anecdote in his story and isn't mentioned in the article, and a couple of editors on the "keep" side have commented on its redundancy. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 14:31, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Royal manuscripts, British Library
Bodleian friezeI have a draft on this, which is coming along; it is the tie-in for what Fæ is running up to with Glamox, as far as I'm concerned anyway. I have tried to give general context, which you might want to comment on. The paper by Bullard has a dozen sources from which the heads were copied (or restored), which I shall add next, and will make it more interesting for the art history, I think. (I only got this far because Jacobus Verheiden was one of my Dutch targets.)
The actual layout of the frieze is troublesome with the sources I have, since it is presumably around a six-sided L-shaped room per the map; I have some idea what is happening by looking at who is on the list and what you would naturally do with the walls you had. Free images are a definite problem. I'd like to have the content respectable before I get back to my contact at the Bodleian. Charles Matthews (talk) 10:19, 15 December 2011 (UTC) Thanks for the additions.

I've discovered something interesting. Although it's generally true that manuscripts were only available to the elite, the popular ones were mass printed as litographs in the 19th century Iran, as described for example in [12]. Do you have access to that book by any chance (other than via google)? ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 15:57, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
Need a little help identifying cover artCould you identify (even roughly) what's on the cover of this book [13]? I'm assembling a list of mainstream English academic biographies of Muhammad. User:ASCIIn2Bme/Mill. JN466's favorite book is in fact not a biography of Muhammad, but a work on his reception in some Sufi literature. That's why it's amply illustrated with photos of manuscripts (incl. calligraphy). I have yet to find an actual biography of Muhammad in English that has calligraphy pictures inside (or Persian miniatures for that matter). The only thing I found inside so far are maps. Although authors hardly ever decide what cover art is going to be on their books, which is decided by the publisher, I'm adding that info too whenever possible.

I was just looking at the Nativity in art, (on the 6th January, too late to be useful of course) and thinking that there ought to be a separate page for the Magi. I then found it, but it is called Adoration of the Magi and probably ought to be moved to a page name that is similar to the other. it also needs some work. The gallery has umpteen pics by Rubens while other important pictures are missing. Can I suggest that the word "Adoration" ought to be left out as it is just one aspect of the Magi story. An article on the Magi in art ought to include the journey etc.
Important works include the window in Canterbury Cathedral which shows the whole narrative (I s'pose it's one of the earliest relatively intact representations in England) , the Benozzo Gozzoli from the Medici Chapel (essential), the Stephan Lochner from Cologne Cathedral (also essential as that is where they are allegedly buried), the Giorgione of the Three Philosophers. One of my personal favourites is the magnificent Tissot of them lurching along on their camels in saffron robes. What do you think? Is this the project for next Christmas?

I know this happens sometimes, but could I please respectfully request a little more previewing before saving? When there are several edits from the same editor, it makes things a little harder for me to review, both via my watchlist and with ]I note you have a passing interest in the subject. I'm looking at cleaning up the above, but in fact they only get about 20 hits a day (Architecture gets 3000) so maybe the solution is to get rid of them? Coverage of architecture is pretty dire until you get to the level of modest specifics, where there are some perfectly good articles. I am starting on the Index but interested in sorting out some of the mess more generally. Maybe at least the two should merge into a roundup of good or reasonable articles. Just looking for views at the moment... ProfDEH (talk) 14:34, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
