Hi I'm not sure this is the right place/way to ask my question. I teach a course called Contemporary Art and Geopolitics in the Arab World at the Paris School of International Affairs, which is the international (e.g. English-language) master program of Sciences Po. Given the scarcity of information on Wikipedia about contemporary art generally, and that from the Arab world in particular, and given also the quality of the papers by my students (a bright international bunch) I have requested them to upload their papers on wikipedia. It's also a way of avoiding good papers going unread, a major problem in academia. Do you think this is a good idea? Do you foresee any major problems? Greetings, Robert Kluijver RobertK Prods ( talk) 23:29, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Thank you Sionk; I understand the point about 'original work' and have requested the students to make encyclopedia entries, not the analytical papers that are usually requested for a course like mine. If their articles are not deemed fit for publishing by the WP community I will read them in their 'sandbox' and hopefully be able to improve them sufficiently to qualify as a WP article. RobertK Prods ( talk) 10:07, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you Johnbod. I will crosspost, sorry for the delay. See my reply to Sionk above about the essay vs encyclopedia question. I know (and am experiencing myself) that the WP:Articles for creation process is arduous but I think that, as the brilliant and well-trained students that they are, they should learn how to give back to the community and disseminate their knowledge through Wikipedia.

I recently was sent a copy of the interviewee list for the " Crafts Lives" project by the UK National Life Stories oral history program. This covered ~120 living British (or UK-resident) craftspeople; to a first approximation, they're all probably notable/significant figures. I've put it up at Wikipedia:GLAM/BL/Crafts if anyone wants to have a look for some interesting names to work on!
Cheeringly, 30% of the people have at least a stub article already, which is better than I expected for contemporary figures working in an area of the arts (ceramics, glass, furniture, bookbinding) that Wikipedia often neglects. Andrew Gray ( talk) 17:32, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

See User talk:Drmies/Archive 47#The best way to check all of the articles by an editor. Kavdiaravish has created a large number of problematic articles. They all need to be checked for copyvio, spam links to wahooart.com, proper grammar, accuracy, and original research. A list of his edits exist at User:Writ Keeper/sandbox. I'm actually fairly busy, so I don't know how much I can do, but it would be great if some editors here could help go through the list. If the source is a book that you don't have access to, please don't assume good faith, but mark that you don't have access because it needs to be checked for copyvio by someone who does.

Hello fellow art enthusiasts, I just created The Dehumanization of Art and Other Essays on Art, Culture, and Literature, an article about one of José Ortega y Gasset's compositions. However, I could use some help from an expert on the subject to make sure that I've represented it fairly and accurately. The article's not very long and is fairly stubbly, but I want to make sure that it is all factually correct. Sesame honey tart 10:49, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I've encountered some editors who have a connection to the Art Research Center and are claiming ownership of the article. I've started a discussion on the talk page. Basically, I've removed an unsourced list of names that have no articles and performed some general clean-up. I've been told I don't have "authorization" to do so and the Center founder has directed the reverting of my changes. I've explained Wikipedia policy on my talkpage here but it looks like my advice has been ignored and now a second IP has reverted all my changes.

I came across the Art squat article, which claimed to be a 'movement' originating in Los Angeles. However, this claim was unproven and the linked articles described early art squats in Paris.

Roy Lichtenstein's Woman with Flowered Hat is queued up for a main page appearance tomorrow in the DYK section. I was wondering if anyone knows how to figure out which Picasso it emulates, preferably before then.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 14:50, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Don't add it if you don't want—I wanted the quote more for my own curiosity and thought it would be utilitarian to add it to the article. I'll have to take the book out of the library. (By the way, list-defined refs can help with that reading issue, or at least that's what I do.) On that previously mentioned Picasso book, it has a b/w reproduction and lists the piece as: Woman with Flowered Hat, Royan, October 11, 1939, May 5, 1940. Oil on Canvas, 28 x 23½". No real textual help, though. I'll hold onto it for a few more days in case anyone wants a reference. czar · · 06:41, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Anybody have a copy of or have access to a book by Bernice Rose called "The Drawings of Roy Lichtenstein", published in 1987 by the Museum of Modern Art? Links for purpose of identifying the book: [14], [15].
The reason I ask is because I would like to validate a quote supposedly from that book. I encountered the quote at this web site. The quote is:
"Copying from another’s artist’s work had been out of style for a good part of the twentieth century; the avant-garde had increasingly set store by invention. In resorting to old-fashioned copying (and of such 'unartistic' models), Lichtenstein did something characteristic: he made it so obvious that he was copying that everyone knew it. In effect he threw down the gauntlet, challenging the notion of originality as it prevailed at that time."
Thanks for any help anyone can offer in this. Bus stop ( talk) 14:20, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm actually fairly busy, so I don't know how much I can do, but it would be great if some editors here could help go through the list. If the source is a book that you don't have access to, please don't assume good faith, but mark that you don't have access because it needs to be checked for copyvio by someone who does.

Hello fellow art enthusiasts, I just created The Dehumanization of Art and Other Essays on Art, Culture, and Literature, an article about one of José Ortega y Gasset's compositions. However, I could use some help from an expert on the subject to make sure that I've represented it fairly and accurately. The article's not very long and is fairly stubbly, but I want to make sure that it is all factually correct. Sesame honey tart 10:49, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I've encountered some editors who have a connection to the Art Research Center and are claiming ownership of the article. I've started a discussion on the talk page. Basically, I've removed an unsourced list of names that have no articles and performed some general clean-up. I've been told I don't have "authorization" to do so and the Center founder has directed the reverting of my changes. I've explained Wikipedia policy on my talkpage here but it looks like my advice has been ignored and now a second IP has reverted all my changes.

Don't add it if you don't want—I wanted the quote more for my own curiosity and thought it would be utilitarian to add it to the article. I'll have to take the book out of the library. (By the way, list-defined refs can help with that reading issue, or at least that's what I do.) On that previously mentioned Picasso book, it has a b/w reproduction and lists the piece as: Woman with Flowered Hat, Royan, October 11, 1939, May 5, 1940. Oil on Canvas, 28 x 23½". No real textual help, though. I'll hold onto it for a few more days in case anyone wants a reference. czar · · 06:41, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Anybody have a copy of or have access to a book by Bernice Rose called "The Drawings of Roy Lichtenstein", published in 1987 by the Museum of Modern Art? Links for purpose of identifying the book: [14], [15].
The reason I ask is because I would like to validate a quote supposedly from that book. I encountered the quote at this web site. The quote is:
"Copying from another’s artist’s work had been out of style for a good part of the twentieth century; the avant-garde had increasingly set store by invention. In resorting to old-fashioned copying (and of such 'unartistic' models), Lichtenstein did something characteristic: he made it so obvious that he was copying that everyone knew it. In effect he threw down the gauntlet, challenging the notion of originality as it prevailed at that time."
Thanks for any help anyone can offer in this. Bus stop ( talk) 14:20, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
