Restoring the previous version of this page

[edit]

After I had already edited this page to address a number of issues (WP:PEACOCK, WP:COATRACK, general copyediting and organization, etc.), the author blanked the page and it was then speedily deleted. Now it has been recreated (by the author writing under another name—see User talk:Sovereign Art Foundation) with all the original problems. Rather than editing the problems out from scratch, I am replacing the content with the state it was in when it was previously deleted. Please work from this version.

To the author: if your intention in blanking the article and then starting from scratch was to maintain control over the content of the article, please see WP:OWNERSHIP regarding the nature of Wikipedia authorship. Authors don't own the articles they create. Wikipedia is a cooperative effort, and all editors are entitled to make constructive changes, in particular changes meant to improve articles' conformity with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:17, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To the person who keeps trying to rename this organization

[edit]

The word "the" is not part of the name of this organization. See the organization's own website: every time the word "the" appears in front of "Sovereign Art Foundation" (except at the beginning of a sentence), the initial "t" is lower case. Therefore, please do not add "The" to the boldface rendering of the name at the beginning of the article, and please stop moving the article to a title that begins with "The". —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:02, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Add A Fact: "Amina Agueznay wins African Art Prize"

[edit]

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

The Norval Sovereign African Art Prize, designed to elevate the work of contemporary African artists, has found its latest artist to thrust into the spotlight.

Inspired by Moroccan architecture and created using local textile workshops, “Portal #1” by Amina Agueznay was chosen as the winner for this year’s edition of the art prize, from a total of 27 nominees.

The fact comes from the following source:

Here is a wikitext snippet to use as a reference:
