Why is the German title given so prominently in the lead and the infobox picture caption? In the lead it even takes precedence over its Norwegian name. I can't find anything in the article to suggest why a German title is important, was given by Munch etc. It seems a weird irrelevance. Either if it was relevant, it should be explained why it is relevant, or removed - this is English Wikipedia, not German Wikipedia after all. 86.129.171.122 ( talk) 10:03, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
In Britain at least, most people and the media seem to think that the *woman* is screaming. As we see from Munch's title this is completely wrong, it is the surrounding Nature that is screaming, and the woman is covering her ears not to hear it; her mouth is only open in horror. I think this misapprehension should be more clearly brought out and corrected in the the article, as it is a very commonly held belief. 86.187.236.58 ( talk) 16:17, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
Well, as you say, *careful* reading shows 'seems pretty clear . . . that it is Nature that is screaming' - I don't think any extra sources need to be referenced. It is just that a lot of people (especially those with pre-conceived ideas) *don't* read things carefully. I was merely suggesting slightly more emphasis on it. And yes - I had the preconceived idea the figure was a woman! Along with a lot of other people, so perhaps this should be more emphasised as well. I really don't think they are joining in, why cover the ears if that is the case? 86.187.169.16 ( talk) 14:33, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

The article is nowhere near GA. Ceoil ( talk) 00:52, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Comment: This review has been started for 48 days. If it doesn't meet the criteria, shouldn't it be failed @ Ceoil? Also pinging @ Lankyant as the nominator if you have anything to add. There's no reason to keep the review open this long if no progress is being made. -- ZooBlazer talk 01:16, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
Are there any sources for the date this was painted? I was expecting to see one alongside the year "1893". But I can't see any. I tried to add some "citation needed" tags. But I've now been told I'm a vandal who is "too lazy to click on a reference." Apparently it's "sourced at least a dozen times in the article". Was also interested in what date it was first exhibited. Article just says "1893". 205.239.40.3 ( talk) 14:53, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
And I'm not too sure that "Like every reference mentions the date." The lead section has two references: the first is this book (why archived in Slovenian exactly?), which gives no dates, and does not even appear to be searchable online. The second ref is the geographical Lat/Long of Oslo (which to me really looks a little irrelevant to this article). 205.239.40.3 ( talk) 15:31, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
