Abel Azcona

Hi, Lolay1983! Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for all your work on Abel Azcona. I assume you are working on translating more content from es:Abel Azcona?

I do think it would be great to nominate the article for Wikipedia:Did you know (DYK). I see you are more active on the Spanish wiki, and have not gone through that process here. Would you like me to do the work of nominating the article? I can wait a few days (it just has to be nominated within seven days of creation).

Let me know what you think!

It's an interesting article, so I'd support a DYK. Lolay1983 well done on your hard work translating the article. --John B123 (talk) 22:08, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and nominated the article for DYK. See Template:Did you know nominations/Abel Azcona. I would encourage you both to (1) check out my nomination and see if you recommend any changes, especially to the proposed "hooks"; (2) follow-along in case the reviewer(s) have any suggested changes. Thanks for your work on this! = paul2520 (talk) 16:32, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! You added 21K of material to this article today, and you haven't edited any other articles on EN-wiki. It's a hugely bloated article with too much detail in my opinion. Are you connected to Ascona in some way?ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:41, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Abel Azcona, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Roma (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

January 2020

Hi Lolay, you will see that Drmies and I have done a lot of trimming to the content you added to Abel Azcona. You need to understand that Spanish and English wikipedia do not necessarily work the same way, and avoid spending hours translating content that will just be removed from here. All content here must be well sourced and written in neutral language without editorialising or giving your own opinion. Much of what you included in the article did not meet this criteria. We also do not include long lists of student theses about a person/topic and are not a directory of information. You should also read WP:OVERLINK as linking simple words including "people", "child" and "wood", not to mention repeatedly linking the same words like "art" and "performance" hundreds of time in the one article, is not ok and just makes a lot of work for other people to clean up. Thank you Melcous (talk) 04:54, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit summaries to the article say you have restored sections "as requested". Who is requesting you edit the article? Please explain what your connection is to the subject of the article and whether you have a conflict of interest as defined here or are editing at the direction or payment of someone else. You should not continue to edit the article until you have addressed these concerns. Melcous (talk) 13:43, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Melcous, thank you for improving the page. Adressing your first message, it's true that I may have been too literal in my translation, so I'm open to hearing all your suggestions. When I say 'as requested' I was referring to this, because I understood that when you erase something for bad writing or lack or sources what you are requesting is that I write it better and with more sources. I think we should be careful with erasing content because there have been links and bibliography, which was used in the text, deleted. I will try to rewrite it and make it better. And what you have considered that shouldn't stay in wikipedia, I will leave out, as you have requested. My objective was to translate the page completely from the snappish wikipedia since I have been very involved in the writing and construction and I considered the page was good enough for it to be translated. Thank you very much for the patience and for understanding that English is not my native language and I'm trying my best. After this one, I will translate some other pages from Spanish wiki.--Lolay1983 (talk) 15:41, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lolay1983, thanks for your response. As you can tell Melcous share some concerns. The wikilinking is one of them. The translations are another. But related to the translation matter, I think, is that a lot of the content simply wasn't written in a sufficiently neutral, detached tone. Wikipedia is tertiary, meaning it should be based on secondary sources, and it should clearly indicate that value judgments but also interpretations (of works of art, for instance) should be properly ascribed to the sources. In other words, I can't just write that Julian Schnabel's Maria Callas #2 is the most terrifying work of art of the 1980s--I can write that "Critic X referred to [etc.] as the most terrifying work of art blah blah". I suspect that a lot of the Spanish content simply came directly from the catalog. And in general, the article should look much less like a resume and be much more concise: it's simply way too long and too detailed. Now I'm glad that you took the time to bring it into the English Wikipedia--he's clearly a notable artist--and that we have a chance to make this article look and read good. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 17:07, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Let's write up Innenraum, one of these days. Drmies (talk) 17:09, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Drmies, I understand that it could have be seen that way, but I have actually taken the information from the sources. Some of them were missing yesterday because I didn't have the time to cite everything. I think that with the cleaning other users have made and with the sources I added it's starting to look a lot better. On my end, I want to finish the final touches and to be able to get on some other projects. Really interesting link, what do you exactly want to do with it? Thank you so much for your message.--Lolay1983 (talk) 17:24, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for Lolay for explaining what you meant by "as requested", that makes sense. There is still a way to go with cleaning up with article, but thank you for all your hard work. Melcous (talk) 20:04, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Streets (performance art)

You added a reference to

Silva 2018

in that article, but without a full citation it's impossible to know what that reference is. Could you add it please?

Also if you use User:Svick/HarvErrors.js, you'll be notified of these errors in the future. If you don't know how to install it let me know, I'll walk you through it. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 01:20, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Or was this the correct fix? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 01:27, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise The Shame (performance art) has a reference to "Group FIDEX 2018" which doesn't have a full reference. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:10, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Process art into Performance art. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:18, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Performance art

Thank you for your extensive contributions to Performance art. However, I'm finding that it requires a lot of cleanup; you can see the beginning of my work here. I gather that you are perhaps not a native English speaker (and I commend you all the more for contributing here), but you need, at the very least, to run your additions through an English-language spellchecker. I'm finding a lot of simple misspellings, as well as unclear wording, incomplete sentences, and words that just don't exist in English. What is "reivindicative"?
