Wording

[edit]

Hi @Vexations:, thank you for your edits on this page! I saw that you took issue with the word "craftspeople" in the following sentence: "She worked in fine marble studios in Italy such as Tommasi Fonderia and SGF Studio Scultura, and with (craftspeople such as) Jacques Lipshitz, Augustin Cárdenas, and Max Bill." -I feel like this sentence still needs some descriptor here and am open to suggestions on what would be a better word than craftspeople? Artists? Sculptors? I am a fan of the word craftspeople to describe artists working in craft mediums, but I know it is often seen as a dirty word or seen as lesser than the word artist so I agree with your removing it and think we should go with whatever is more commonly used in language. I would appreciate any input into what better descriptor word could be used there, if any. Thanks!Terasaface (talk) 15:27, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Photo request

[edit]

Hello! I placed a photo requested template at the top of this page. On May 08, 2020, I reached out to the artist using a template from Wikipedia:Example requests for permission. Her piece Muhheakantuck is a public art piece installed at the MTA Transit station in Yonkers and I am wondering if anyone else has any ideas of where to look for images of this type of work? Here is a link to the MTA info page about the piece. Thanks! Terasaface (talk) 16:27, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update - I have reached out to the artist and she has uploaded several images of her work onto Wikimedia Commons. I have put a few onto the page but there are more, I would be happy to see someone else add to or choose the images for the page! Terasaface (talk) 20:58, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

[edit]

Hey @Jmertel23:, thanks for editing this page! I saw your category flag and went deep into Wikiproject Categories. Would you advise on this page? Should this page be under both Category:Artists from New York City and Category:Artists from New York (state) or is that redundant? I'd appreciate the clarity!

@Terasaface: The article should always be in the most specific categories possible, and not in the more general parent category (though there are some exceptions with non-diffusing categories). So, to use your example above - use Artists from New York City but not Artists from New York (state). I hope that helps! Jmertel23 (talk) 12:14, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmertel23: That is very helpful, thank you! Terasaface (talk) 17:57, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
