Talk:Hercules Seghers

Name
Seghers is preferred by musums and art historian, correct or not, and is the name preferred by the Getty Union name list. Johnbod 12:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

You are horrible, are you German, someone who accepts any authority? You seem to be stuck to the stories you are telling for many years. How old are you? Is the Getty your referenance point? I will contact with the Getty, you are unable to accept anything. Cant you see English researchers have a problem with understanding Dutch articles? Taksen 13:05, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

This cannot be a scientific problem, it must be psychological, you cannot accept any else improving your articles. Taksen 13:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

But your edits contain such a low percentage of improvement, and even that has to be rewritten! Netherlands Radio, The NGA Washington, Prado, Berlin Gallery & many other sources use Seghers, as does the Dutch WP article, but I fully accept many others, like the Rijksmuseum & NG London, do not. If you wanted to change it you should have raised the question of moving the page title (the first thing to do) on the talk page here, not just changed the name throughout an active article, without moving the title, and also hiding the note explaining the name issue - why? Getty is the best authority I know on questionable versions of names, as it is based on a census of scholarly sources. Plenty of people can tell you I am very co-operative when my articles are improved, but many of your edits are not improvements. The nuggets of local history you add are useful but you add things in an erratic and careless fashion, and without seeing any need to explain your reasons or discuss in advance. Your English seems to be getting worse for some reason. Johnbod 14:14, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

dont mention my english all the time, and i dont mention your knowledge of dutch. Taksen 17:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't claim to write Dutch & hardly use Dutch sources. Johnbod 17:26, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

the document of the purchase of the house has no price in it, so it ridiculous to present it as a fact. the author (Kannegieter) was only estimating, and this is the article were your sources got the information from. i would be very surprised if their would be another source.

 * It probably is, but "about" indicates an estimate. I'll add a note if it makes you any happier. Johnbod 17:26, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
