Could probably use disambiguation here. There is a link in "Neil Simon" referring to his play "The Dinner Party" that arrives here.
I have begun adding the names of the women on the Heritage floor as these are now available at an on line database at http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/eascfa/dinner_party/heritage_floor/search.php .
So far I have competed the first ten pages. They will then need to be alphabetised and the wiki links checked to be correct. Any help appreciated. Lumos3 23:12, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Dorothea von Rodde (née Schlözer) is discussed in the article on her father, August Ludwig von Schlözer. Steve James ( talk) 12:57, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Glad to see more interest in populating the names in the artwork on wikipedia. Whenever a name is spelled in a way that is not standard I leave it in the way its spelled on the artwork in this article but add the word (sic) after it meaning it was spelled "thus". The article title for the subject is spelt in the most commonly used form. A piped link leads from the Dinner Party article. Lumos3 ( talk) 13:21, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
"Lalla" linked to a man. I corrected it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.41.229.177 ( talk) 18:29, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Would anyone object to me converting the 500 name list into a table? Kaldari ( talk) 00:41, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
::OK, I have double checked and Chicago's book only lists 997.

"The Dinner Party" was satirized locally by performance artist Suzy San Francisco, whose counter-exhibit "The Box Lunch" at a San Francisco warehouse comprised a collection of steel lunch boxes representing those women "not invited to the Dinner Party." These include Henny Youngman's Wife.

The correct name for the person called "Gertrude Svensen" in List of women in the Heritage Floor is actually " Gertrud Svensdotter", as the article of her say, and the (Swedish) references also calls her. Gertrud Svensdotter was from Sweden, and her last name Svensdotter was a Patronymic meaning "daughter of Sven": the ending word "dotter" in the name meaning "daughter". I am from Sweden myself, and no references in her home country, were her story is well known, ever refers to her as "Gertrude Svensen" - which would also have been strange, as the name "Svensen" is also a patronymic meaning "son of Sven". Further more, "Svensen" is also a Danish patronymic rather than a Swedish, which would have been "Svensson". Her first name also has the wrong spelling, as the Swedish spelling of Gertrude is Gertrud without the e at the end, but that is a smaller matter. My question is: is the name actually wrong in the art exhibition The Dinner Party itself (which means that it would have to continue being wrong in the article), or is it simply wrongly spelled only in the article (and can be corrected) ?-- Aciram ( talk) 22:58, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
I couldn't help but noticing the strangely out of place 'see also' section, linking to the Great Wall of Vagina artwork by Jamie McCartney.
What is a vagina wall of a male artist doing here? It seems to reduce The Dinner Party to a work about vaginas. Can't it be removed? Breston ( talk) 15:56, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Update on women's day: I think I'm just going to go ahead and remove the 'see also' section for now, since besides the misplaced mention it has no information whatsoever. -- Breston ( talk) 23:09, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
It would be good if some mention could be made of Vanessa Bell's and Duncan Grant's Famous Women Dinner Service of 1932-1934. Stronach ( talk) 10:13, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
