Possible COI issue

The bulk of the content in this article appears to have been added in one fell swoop by User:Martinjkemp. BD2412 T 01:49, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I'll try to tone it down – especially that mammoth of a bibliography. Aza24 (talk) 03:27, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, virtually the entire article is lacking inline citations, so it is unclear what can be sourced to what. Also, there is some material on Adrian Nicholas that would better fit in the article of that subject. BD2412 T 03:36, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I've tweaked around the article a lot and added refs. The only section I haven't really touched yet is the books one, but it's mostly a list of publications. I think it's safe to remove the COI template Aza24 (talk) 08:31, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Cheers! BD2412 T 14:25, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography oddness

I'm going to fix the following quirks of the bibliography 1) each entry has a citation, but this is not needed as it just repeats the exact information of the bibliography; 2) There's formatting inconsistency that can be fixed by the proper use of citation templates, 3) There are locations of publication but not publishers. This will cut down the amount of wiki-code without removing any useful information. MartinPoulter (talk) 15:41, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is a mess. I made a very selective bibliography at some point, mainly because I no effort to be comprehensive but wanted to have consistent formatting. A rather annoying SPA added a lofty and messy bibliography which is why it is so strange right now. Actually, that SPA might be Kemp himself, since he added a lot of publications himself a while back. I've cleaned it up a bit, thanks for your work here.

Edit request

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

ArtNet has published a long article about Kemp and I think it merits a mention in this article. Request to add this to the end of the body text of the current article:

Masterclass

In 2022, Kemp and author Waqas Ahmed created an online course titled "The Da Vinci Masterclass" which explores what can people today can learn from Da Vinci's many accomplishments. Menachem Wecker for ArtNet found that the course "illuminated both Leonardo’s and Kemp’s ways of thinking".^[1] The course was also presented in-person at the Royal Institution in 2023.^[2] MartinPoulter (talk) 11:49, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
