Open for creation
...as you like. This page was protected against re-creation because childish vandals kept re-creating it with nonsense content. Hopefully they're tired of it now, but you should watch the page in case they return. · Katefan0(scribble)/ mrp 19:08, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Links to Fine Arts Presentations
This link: Nicolas de Staël at Fine Arts Presentations features the artworks and short bio of Nicolas de Staël. Does the community believe this additional link in the External Links section would enhance this document? The elibrarian (talk) 14:06, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It is not a reliable source, it does not reference any specific in the article, and it is basically an advertisement. Read WP:EL...Modernist (talk) 14:30, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The referenced site contains de Staël's works which is relevant to the article. Fine Arts Presentations has been on the Internet since 1992, and its sister sites, especially Rudolf Steiner Archive, are quoted in several Wikipedia articles. What is a Reliable Source? Many of the other External links for this article have advertisements and ask for donations ... the Internet would be a barren place without these tools. FAP does not use pop-ups, overlays, etc. as some of the other sites referenced in this article do. I don't understand your reference that it is basically an advertisement. What are your suggestions?

 * Read this: WP:RS, the website is a plug for the webmaster, this is an encyclopedia, reference information and forget the advertising...Modernist (talk) 16:30, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I strongly disagree that the site is a plug for the webmaster! Have you visited the other sites in the EL? Do you have any idea what it takes to keep a website running? I have asked you for help! Please explain your criticisms. The elibrarian (talk) 17:26, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The best advice that I can offer you is to use the link as a reference to something specific in each article and not as an external link...Modernist (talk)

Exhibition list
Would this section benefit from an exhibition list of de staels?

In particular later retrospectives, including works at the MOMA https://www.moma.org/artists/1447 and Whitechapel art gallery in London just after his death :https://www.whitechapelgallery.org/about/history/exhibitions-1950-present/

Or would it be possible to add within the 'legacy' section? I'm relatively new to wikipedia editing, so would not know what is best! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clesmon (talk • contribs) 09:52, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Death of Jeanine Guillou
The cause of her death is not clear. The article says that it was because of malnutrition, but some references explain that it was due to a therapeutic abortion (including the recent exposition about De Staël in the Orsay Museum in Paris). Hervegirod (talk) 15:46, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
