Ref formatting[edit]

Hi! I saw that you've reverted my edits that were just converting book citations into cite book + sfn. Can you please tell me what's wrong with that? I thought that it was a better and cleaner way to cite a book, but maybe I'm wrong here. Artem.G (talk) 11:08, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Nevermind, just saw that it's CITEVAR, never heard of it before. Sorry for misunderstanding. Artem.G (talk) 11:19, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

But, at least for Bull-Leaping Fresco, it makes the cites consistent, all other books (Evans) use cite book template... Artem.G (talk) 11:22, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Ok, I see you've reverted. But please be aware of WP:CITEVAR. Lots of people think they know the best way to do citations, & if they write their own articles they can use them. Johnbod (talk) 13:27, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

I made an attempt at reworking the colors, to make them closer to the photograph in the Museum page [1] (it should of course have a white-greenish shade), and restored some clarity to the bottom. Please revert if inadequate. Best पाटलिपुत्र Pat (talk) 16:17, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Xmas DYK?[edit]

Hi there Johnbod. In years past, you have supplied some beautiful nativity paintings for the Christmas DYK lead spot. I'm wondering if you're planning to do the same this year? With only two weeks to go, we currently have only three Christmas related hooks and nothing for the lead. Gatoclass (talk) 09:17, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Cristoforo Majorana[edit]

Hi, I'm looking to get expert attention on the Cristoforo Majorana article, can you help please?
The start year in the lead is 1480, but the work in the gallery is dated c. 1470 and French, Italian and Spanish Wikipedia seem to be attributing works to him in the 1470s.

According to the external link, 1480 is the date of "the first attestation of his autonomous work free from collaborations with the bottega", yet there he's dated fl. 1470–1500. -- 00:28, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

I'd go with fl. 1470–1500 per the Vatican. Johnbod (talk) 12:15, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Please can you do this? Because I don't want to interfere with the citations; the current date is sourced in the first ref ("active c. 1480–1494").
Also; do you know how to flag the article for expert attention? I know it's a stub but the gallery, for instance, is quite small considering how many prominent articles feature his works. -- 15:56, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

I've changed the dates. I wouldn't bother asking for an expert. You could add to the gallery, and text, by all means. Johnbod (talk) 17:01, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Wondering your thoughts[edit]

Did you see the recent creation of Dark Ages (Europe)? I can't see any world where it is anything more than an POV pushing-essay thats scope essentially covers Dark Ages (historiography)... any thoughts? Aza24 (talk) 02:08, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

No, I hadn't. It may be well-meaning, but should just be redirected to EMA. Some bits might be added to Dark Ages (historiography). Johnbod (talk) 03:33, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Doesn't the format "Dark Ages (historiography)" suggest the possibility of "Dark Ages (other things)"? Historiography is not the same as history, you know. If you are taking this taking to WP:AFD, I guess I'll see you there. ThuDauMot (talk) 04:06, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Probably not - it should just redirect to Early Middle Ages (most of the narrative middle), with some to Dark Ages (historiography). I dare say nothing will happen until after the holidays, so you might start reading the talk archives at Dark Ages (historiography). Johnbod (talk) 04:09, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Btw, the fact you linked to it at the start of EMA: "The Early Middle Ages or Early Medieval Period, sometimes referred to as the Dark Ages...." shows it is indeed a WP:POVFORK. @User:Ealdgyth btw,

After perusing the guideline, I would put this under "Articles whose subject is a point of view" (WP:SUBPOV). That is to say, "Dark Ages" suggests a framework of societal collapse whereas EMA suggests that we are getting ready for the High Middle Ages. We already have articles examining this period from different points of view, including Migration Period and Late Antiquity. ThuDauMot (talk) 04:28, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

• Just passing but the hook for this did catch my eye when it was run so well done! Following the recent rain, our garden could use a canal to direct the flood waters so I'll be giving it some detailed thought now! Andrew🐉(talk) 10:44, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

A somewhat premature New Year's greeting[edit]

John Vanderlyn, Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos (c.1812), Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts		Best wishes for a safe, healthy and prosperous 2022.
		Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 19:53, 26 December 2021 (UTC) Moral lesson: John Vanderlyn was an American painter who studied in Paris, and his life-sized Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos was one of the first large nudes exhibited in the United States. Peddling the poison as well as the cure, this overtly sensuous work was presented to the public as a moral lesson on the consequences of lascivious behavior. Visible in the distance is the ship of Princess Ariadne's secret lover, Theseus, for whom she has betrayed her people by helping him to escape the Labyrinth and slay the Minotaur. Ariadne's bliss will come to an end when she awakens from her post-coital reverie, only to discover that the faithless Theseus has sailed away without her.

Did you know...?[edit]

Compliments of the season. Did you know that someone has kindly put all the pending DYK hooks into play by inviting everyone to comment on them and suggest improvements? I have suggested that this novel free-for-all be closed but you may wish to comment before this is done. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:34, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Happy New Year![edit]
