Problematic "Analyse" section

An "Analyse" section was added to the article in mid-December which appears to be the author's theories. In addition, these are poorly written and punctuated, and completely unsupported by any references or sources. I am removing the section, especially since a related article is just now being promoted to the "Did you know" section of the main page. This removal should not be reverted and the material not added back without a major copyedit and the sourcing that is desperately needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:06, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions

Hi everyone, I will be contributing my first edits to this article for one of my classes. I was thinking of editing the paragraph that is basically plagiarizing from leonardodavinci.net. I was also going to add more to the controversy section. Then look for the missing citations, and add any more valuable information I can find. I would appreciate some feedback before I start making these changes in soon. Thanks! Karmyynn (talk) 03:15, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there @Karmyynn, thanks for your proposed efforts here. I've written a few articles on Leonardo-works, see Portrait of a Musician and La Scapigliata; I'd recommend following the layout/format on those articles.

Since you are doing this for class, I don't know how much to ask of you, but books will have much better information than web sources. You'll see there are already four cited, of which Marani and Zollner would have the most on this work. Anything by Martin Kemp and Carmen Bambach is also great. Really your best bet is to get just 2–3 books and summarize what they have into this article. That is, start with sources, then add content, not the other way around.

Remember that Leonardo is a much debated artist, it's hard to find "certainty" on many attribution, dating and provenance matters, so don't make up certainty where there is none. If multiple sources say different things, so should the article (hence the dating system used in this article). Please let me know if you have any questions or issues you run into. – Aza24 (talk) 01:43, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Aza24, I actually just finished with my edits, if you don't mind reviewing them. Thanks! Karmyynn (talk) 02:04, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Karmyynn Happy to. Some things to keep in mind: No spaces between punctuation and references; don't link common terms (big cities, e.g. Tokyo, Paris, people like Jesus, countries etc. – see WP:OVERLINK), and always italicize the names of paintings–you can do that with two quotes: ''Painting'', which displays as Painting). In any case, some nicely done expansion here. Aza24 (talk) 02:14, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
