Ambrogio Lorenzett

[edit]

Thanks. But there does seem to be uncertainty as to his dates. But I see you removed that. Doug Weller talk 18:49, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I stated what we know precisely, without relying on 19th-century sources. Johnbod (talk) 02:38, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, sounds reasonable. Doug Weller talk 08:48, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yorur edit summary

[edit]

YOu wrote edit summary: " (and I can revert)" Yes you can. I assume you are going to add references, right? If you think you have no obligation, please read WP:BURDEN. --Altenmann >talk 16:36, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There was a reference there, which you just deleted. This seems all too typical of your editing. I don't think you understood my es, btw. Johnbod (talk) 16:39, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In my edit summary I wrote "dubious source" - it is not really a ref: mosaic gallery on a website of unknown authority. --Altenmann >talk 16:43, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You also wrote: " rvt - tag 'em if you must " - the whole article has been tagged for a year. I dont think I have to tag every suspicious nontrivial statement in it. --Altenmann >talk 16:43, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting some article expansion help

[edit]

Greetings @Johnbod

Hi, I am User:Bookku, On Wikipedia I engage in, finding information and knowledge gap areas in Wikipedia and promoting expansion of related drafts and articles. Came across your membership of WP:WikiProject Religion/Interfaith work group#Members.

Requesting your visit to Tashabbuh (still a draft in my userspace) and help expand the topic areas if you find topic interesting. Wish you very happy Wikipedia editing.

Thanks and warm regards Bookku (talk) 04:12, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - not one for me, best, Johnbod (talk) 01:42, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edits on Article on Goya's Caprichos

[edit]

Please do not make your edits until I am done translating THE SPANISH ARTICLE ON GOYA'S CAPRICHOS--as requested by the notice on the too brief English article.

You may not care who some of the referenced experts in the Spanish article may be, but they are cited in the more definitive Spanish article. You can add your 2 cents worth once the entire Spanish article has been translated, but in the meantime, PLEASE STAY OUT OF THE ARTICLE WHILE I AM COPYING OVER THE TRANSLATED ARTICLE, ITS REFERENCES, AND ITS GRAPHICS.

I have lost work because a few overeager English language editors have prematurely done edits before I had a chance to enter the complete translation. Ariadne000 (talk) 22:17, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ariadne000: If you do not want anyone else editing an article you are creating, then place it as a sub-page under your user page. Anything in main space is fair game. Donald Albury 23:07, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ariadne000: Actually, a common approach would be to place template {{inuse}} on the page, but not for very long time. Even if one translates the page in their userspace, it will till take time to merge the translation into aticle, and again, edit conflicts are possible. --Altenmann >talk 23:12, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have not had this problem before. I took several days to translate the long article on Caridad Mercader and no one interfered. Donald Albury, what is the purpose of "fair game" when editing something that is about 1/20th complete? All one is doing is causing complications. My edits on the Revision History page are full of warnings that uploading of translated text is in progress. I don't understand why another editor won't respect that and wait until the process is done to do a "final" edit. My aim is to capture the rich material on the Spanish article for the benefit of those interested in the Caprichos who don't speak Spanish. If someone wants to smooth the translation later, that will be fine with me as long as it is done RESPECTFULLY.
I agree with Altenmann that the subpage is not practical since it would require quite a bit of merging.
Patience, please. Ariadne000 (talk) 01:09, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, calm down! Among the many many things you don't know about correct editing on English Wikipedia is the "in use" template, which I have now added. Please remove it when you have finished. Your edit notices did not actually say not to edit. My edits have been reverted, but will have to be redone when you have finished. People may be interested that the "referenced expert in the Spanish article" whose opinion I removed was Ewan McColl (yes Dirty Old Town); that his opinion was even given casts doubt on the quality of the Spanish article, which is certainly longer, but perhaps not very "definitive". Johnbod (talk) 02:38, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the Spanish article, it is pretty clear that Dugald Sutherland MacColl - a proper art historian, but born 1859 - was meant. Introducing the Communist folk singer Ewan McColl was an error by the quick-tempered translator. Whether DS MacColl is a suitable ref today, let alone the best, is another question.
