Discussion
Hello, is it possible to request that the Nicola Green you have here show her middle name? My name is also Nicola Green and I am also an artist, also born in London but I live in the U.S. Is it possible I create a page using my full name? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.8.50.10 (talk • contribs) 20:37, 11 April 2007

I will be providing some source material so that some proposed changes can hopefully be made to this page.

Thank you

Request edit In Seven Days...
It would be good for this article to state the name of the project about Barack Obama (In Seven Days...) Is it possible to edit the sentence which currently reads:

In 2011 a set of seven silk-screen prints depicting Barack Obama's presidential election campaign were donated to the Library of Congress; another set is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

To something along the lines of: In 2011 a set of seven silk-screen prints depicting Barack Obama's presidential election campaign entitled In Seven Days...was donated to the Library of Congress; another set is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The title is mentioned in this article from the Wall Street Journal international: https://wsimag.com/art/18366-nicola-green-a-selection-of-work

I have allowed you to edit the page but please adhere to a natural point of view. Trains2050 (talk) 06:55, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you NicolaGreen72 (talk) 12:28, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Some more requested edits In Seven Days...
Information to be added or removed: Nicola Green gained access to Obama’s campaign, making six trips to events, such as his nomination at the DNC in Denver and inauguration in Washington. Explanation of issue: To give some additional information to what I actually did. I also attended other events including Election Night in Chicago, but these are not referenced in the article. References supporting change:

Information to be added or removed: No other artist has got this close to a Presidential campaign in history. Explanation of issue: Important to note that it was extremely unusual for an artist to get so close to a presidential campaign. In the UK we have an official General Election artist, but this is unheard of in the USA. References supporting change:

Information to be added or removed: Green was inspired by her mixed-heritage children to record these events for the future. Explanation of issue: It is important to note that this work is not ‘Political’ it was about witnessing these events for the future. It is about achieving the seemingly impossible. References supporting change:

Information to be added or removed: Add In Seven Days… has also been exhibited at Harvard Law School, The Walker Art Gallery and Said Business School Explanation of issue: To add to to list of places the work has been exhibited. References supporting change:

I have allowed you to edit the page but please adhere to a natural point of view. Trains2050 (talk) 06:55, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Encounters
Hello

I’d like to propose some additions to this article about the project ‘Encounters’ and remove some factual inaccuracies in the current text.

I believe this is in the public interest, particularly to inform people about the academic book which would help many people researching interfaith dialogue and art history because there aren't many other books like this on the market. I think it's important to mention that all the different religions are depicted together, as this also occurs very rarely. I hoped that someone could please advise me as to whether these would be reasonable additions to make and if the following references would be suitable?

Information to be removed: 

In 2018 Encounters, a series of fifty portraits of religious leaders all with their faces and hands painted out, was shown at the church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square. Among those represented were the Pope, the Dalai Lama, Ali Gomaa, Jonathan Sacks and Justin Welby.

Information to be added:

Between 2008-2018 Green was a witness to interfaith meetings around the world to create a project Encounters. She attended gatherings of religious leaders including The Dalai Lama, Pope Francis, Ali Gomaa and Jonathan Sacks. The resulting work Encounters, is made up of two bodies of work: a series of 12 life sized portraits made from Perspex and 30 mixed media portraits. The portaits included Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Sikh, Baha’i, Jain, African Traditional, Confucian, Humanist, Shinto and indigenous leaders. Encounters was shown at the church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square.

An accompanying book Encounters: The Art of Interfaith Dialogue was published by Brepols. Edited by Professor Aaron Rosen, it uses Nicola Green’s artwork to explore a variety of debates surrounding interfaith dialogue. Contributors to the book include Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra, Dr. Rowan Williams, Prof. David Ford OBE and Gabrielle Rifkind.

Olympic project
Hello Wikipedians!

This is Nicola Green. As the subject of this article, I have a conflict of interest which is declared on my user page. I was hoping to make an addition to this page if possible.

Text to be added:

In 2012 Nicola Green was commissioned by Haringey Council and the Cultural Olympiad to make a series of portraits in honour of the Olympic Games in London. To make the work Green ran workshops with children in the schools surrounding the Olympic Park. The children’s drawings were transformed into the final works which reflected what they found inspiring and enabled them to see themselves in those roles.

I have included a reference from the Wall Street Journal (International edition).

I hope that this is possible. Thank you for your help NicolaGreen72 (talk) 13:05, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Dear @Justlettersandnumbers
 * I've noticed that you frequently remove edits to this wikipedia page. I am really grateful to you for your hard work and vigilance in keeping Wikipedia factual and neutral.
 * However, you have also, on several occasions, removed edits I have made to this page unnecessarily. As the subject of this article, I have received extensive advise about the correct procedure for making changes to the page. I have followed all of the rules and protocols and my edits have been approved by other Wikipedia editors on this talk page. All of my edits have been neutral and correctly referenced from appropriate sources. Despite this, you have removed changes on many occasions. I would like to politely ask that you stop doing so as your edits to this page have removed information approved by other editors.

Updates
Hello all,

This is Nicola Green. As the subject of this article, I have a conflict of interest which is declared on my user page. I was hoping to make some edits to the intoductionary section of this page, if possible, with some updates about my career. I would also like to add a more recent picture, as the current photograph is very old.

Edit as follows:

Nicola Green (born 1972) is a British portrait painter, social historian and public speaker. Among her subjects have been the Dalai Lama, Barack Obama, and Pope Francis.[1]

In 2005, Green married David Lammy, a Labour Member of Parliament. They have three children.

Green has twice been among the exhibitors for the BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in London, in 2006 and in 2008.[3][4]

Nicola Green has many institutional roles, aimed at social impact and creating positive change in the art world. Green co-founded and directed the Diaspora Pavilion, an exhibition at the 57th Venice Biennale, showcasing 22 artists from culturally diverse backgrounds, whose work dealt with the topic of Diaspora. Nicola also founded the Khadija Saye Arts programme at IntoUniversity which addresses the issue of BAME representation in the creative industries. As co-founder of Sophia Point Rainforest Research Centre, Nicola has championed the preservation and exploration of the Guiana Shield. Nicola is also a Principal Artist for the upcoming project ‘The World Reimagined’ and is a patron of Women in Art.

I hope that this is possible. Thank you for your help

 * - your request for a change of photograph is reasonable. All you need to do is upload a good quality photograph of yourself to Wikimedia Commons, suitably licenced, and it is likely that the new photgraph will be added to the article. An old photograph of good quality will be chosen over a new photograph of poor quality, which is why you need to bear quality in mind. Mjroots (talk) 08:56, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

COI tag (March 2022)
The page appears to have been extensively edited by the subject, and now probably needs editing for neutral encyclopaedic tone. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:19, 3 March 2022 (UTC)


 * All changes have been approved on the talk page by other editors, and the conflict of interest is clearly visible NicolaGreen72 (talk) 12:36, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
