All my Rainis books indicate "J. Rainis" as the author, not "Rainis." I believe the article should be renamed at some point to reflect the correct nom de plume. — Pēters J. Vecrumba 18:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Just making a note, the first cut was adding basic bigraphical information to the stub. Once I go through some of my additional sources and expand the article with:
then I think it will have enough critical mass to be divided into sections. There's not enough substance to the article yet that one can really learn anything from Rainis other than basic "inventory." — Pēters J. Vecrumba 14:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
I found some pictures, however there is a slight problem - most of the Latvian photographers of the time have been quite lively and haven't managed to die until 1937, which means that most of these are copyrighted. Now I think I read somwhere that if a picture has been published before 1923 the pictures can be used and for some of these author is unknown. So does anyone know if we can use these images ? The pictures (from [1]):
BTW I have a different picture of his monument in downtown (taken in early June - trees have leaves, sky is blue and it wasn't raining - the monument itself looks kind of pink / here's a picture of another monument taken on the same day/)---- Xil... sist! 09:04, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I just wrote to the Latvian Academic Library to ask about reusing one of the pictures of Rainis in their collection for the article. I'm tight for time, but I'll scan the pages on Rainis and Aspazija in "Latvju Rakstniecība Portrejās" so folks have some more material to work with.
For the simplified section list, we might put his philosophy (personal, as expressed in writing,...) —

Here you go, Rainis in Latvju Rakstniecība Portrejās. I'll leave it up for a while (about 2 MB). — Pēters J. Vecrumba 20:59, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
There are few things in this article that in my oppinion should be improved, referenced or are incorrect:
This should say who is Andrejs Stērsts
I don't think Rainis was first to come up with idea of independence, I think it was Miķelis Valters (I'm not entirely sure though). All statements here should be referenced because it sounds somewhat heroic (especialy the part about soldiers)
When I was trying to find out copyright status of pictures linked above I camed accros article in Latvijas Vēstnesis site stating that he was never nominated for the prise (apparently he himself wanted it badly)
I have a collection of Rainis writings which includes Daugava and was published before the awake
