Is this project a collaboration with the Public Catalogue Foundation? -- Another Believer ( Talk) 03:30, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
At Wikipedia:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography/Artists. Almost exactly 50% of the missing DNB artists there are also missing YP artists. "Synergy" is an over-used term, but the fact is that DNB text plus YP images (with caveats all round) can make for rapid development of content. Charles Matthews ( talk) 12:03, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the encouragement. What seems to work for me, in most areas, is to add the information from the DNB that is easy to get first. This is all for artists who died by 1912: I suppose there are many 20th century artists in the overall list. Charles Matthews ( talk) 18:13, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
Is this project also interested in the subjects of paintings and are there any easy tools to upload the images that are out of copyright to commons. I've just come across at Wikipedia:Peer review an article ( Henry Fownes Luttrell) with no illustrations and found this or this of the man and his wife on "Your Paintings". It would be great to have a tool like the "geograph to commons" (on Geograph & see Wikipedia:Moving files to the Commons#Transferring images from Geograph) tools which make it easy to upload them to commons with appropriate licences & cataloguing information.— Rod talk 19:39, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
@ Jane023, Victuallers, and PKM: The objectives say
Why "in limited circumstances" ? Why not link all of them (as I think we do with IMDB links, for example).
I have adjusted the template so that by default, with no parameters, it will draw the link identifier for an artist from Wikidata.
Why not then just add {{ YourPaintings}} for every artist we know is in the catalogue, using either a bot or AWB?
On a different note, I have started updating the painters-by-date pages to include a column for their Wikidata items. As a subsequent step, I intend to update the WP and Commonscat columns, where I can get further entries or corrected entries from Wikidata, and then go through some of the ones with apparently similarly named articles, that do not yet have Wikidata matches, to see which of the apparent blue links are or are not correct.

See d:User:Charles Matthews/YourPaintings report. The results of the pass through the artists can be seen there in some detail.
For a headline figure, 6863 out of the 8757 matches correspond to an article here. Charles Matthews ( talk) 13:39, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
Of the 8757 items matched in Wikidata to the PCF artists, 6863 have links to the English Wikipedia. The Gendergap is represented by the low inclusion of women on Commons in categories and creator templates.
