Zollner

[edit]

Hi there Ham, hope all is well with you! Was wondering if you could take a look at the Leonardo scholar Frank Zöllner—I was trying to find some citations to support the text, but having trouble. Also according to page 5 of this, the publication of (Re)invent Rezeptionswege von Byzanz bis in die Moderne was published to align with his birthday, but I can't find what day that was! Some online source are saying June 26, but they all seem to be repeating uncited info that was once on the WP page. Best – Aza24 (talk) 21:04, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aza24, great to hear from you! The one good source I could find for Zöllner's date of birth is from the (Czech Republic's) Archive of Fine Arts; I've added that to the article. I will come back to the Google doc of Zöllner's catalogue raisonné of the drawings one day, and finally get them all onto Wikidata and thereby generate a list article here on Wikipedia... Ham II (talk) 18:56, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will come back to it too! Thanks for finding that source, I'll see what else I can add to the article. Aza24 (talk) 01:14, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

abstract expressionism

[edit]

Hello. You mention in your comment at the schools RM that 'Abstract Expressionism' was safely uppercased on Wikipedia. Alas, tis not the case. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:09, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks – I've replied at Talk:Bolognese School § Requested move 26 July 2024. Ham II (talk) 07:34, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

For the heads up on the sock puppet. Knitsey (talk) 19:12, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Goscombe John

[edit]

Some years ago, you helpfully were party to the talk about how to refer to William Goscombe John on Wiki. You will know that Goscombe was a name the sculptor adopted as a young man. Various references suggest it was linked to his mother's birth place in Gloucestershire. I think this is an error, notwithstanding the scholarly sources. Having completed some independent research, it has emerged that the surname of his maternal grandmother was Goscombe. I added this information twice (referenced) and another user, without discussion or courtesy, keeps removing it. I have opened a talk point on Goscombe's page and given your previous interest and knowledge aprops sculpture, might I invite you to take a look and offer your own view. I am a novice wiki contributor but with a pedigree around heritage and the built environment (writing Govt heritage policy in the 1990s and serving for a number of years as a trustee of one of the statutory national amenity (heritage) societies)... I am sorry if this is not quite the right way to resolve such matters and I thank you for taking the time to read this talk post. 2A00:23C5:C600:8B01:59A9:56A1:1564:A716 (talk) 18:06, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rococo Revival lowercase attempt

[edit]

Thanks for your comment at the Rococo Revival lowercasing RM. The lowercasers have turned their focus onto the arts articles lately, and no idea how long this will last and how many major pages are in their lowercasing goal. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:51, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
