Talk:Sophie von Maltzan

Referencing - book chapters
The subject appears to have two book chapters - one dedicated to herself (chap. 9 of the book Blumenfrauen) and one on perhaps her most prominent arts-and-garden/-park project (Arts in Place) and I will use these more fully when I secure full texts (I have access only to snippets and samples to date).

 * The text from the book Blumenfrauen is available to read on the subject's practice's website, so no need for help on this; Arts in Place appears to be held in only one general library in Ireland, so I may eventually get to it there. Any help on the points below still very welcome. SeoR (talk) 21:10, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Other improvements
This new article would benefit especially from cited additions including:
 * a quality personal picture, and 1-2 suitable photos of productions - update: I have taken a few shots of two former sites, and the Drumcondra one has imagery on Commons already,
 * a little more early, and later personal, life data, incl. well-cited confirmation of birth year,
 * more on academic work, notably any formal papers,
 * something on work on play facilities - there seem to be several works but citations lack,
 * more on the apparent involvement in horse / pony breeding / showing, etc.
 * clarification on a few possible items thrown up by Google and other searches - membership of the landscape architecture organisation (definitely the case over years, but not found now), tenure on Dublin City Arts Office panel of artists (2011?, 2011-2015?), an international garden design competition in Vienna.

I will look into the subject's official website as a start myself, but any further inputs welcome... SeoR (talk) 20:52, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Updated above, further help always welcome. SeoR (talk) 21:14, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Other articles
Hi Wikipedia, this is a good article, but could you also do articles on the actual projects, at least the Smithfield Art Tunnel? And the little Granby Park off Dominick Street. Those two were a step in a new direction. And should there not be an article on community garden projects in Dublin, such as Mucky Lane, the several projects on the Grand Canal, as well as Finglas and more? Maybe one on Dublin allotments too? Thank you, 82.198.140.206 (talk) 10:51, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, and sorry no one replied earlier. This article was going through a review process for a mention on the main page of the encyclopedia, and I was trying not to revisit it unnecessarily during this. I agree that both the Art Tunnel and Granby Park probably had enough coverage to be notable enough for articles, and I can put them on my list of potential future works, if no one gets there sooner. An article on all the community and pocket park / garden projects could also be a useful way to handle this topic area, as I believe that by now there have been quite many relevant initiatives. Have you any knowledge of this topic, or sources you might point to? SeoR (talk) 00:00, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

What about the work with horses and ponies?
The last is active with Connemara Ponies, with Kieran Guinness. 176.61.30.234 (talk) 17:05, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the interest, and the point. This is actually a topic I mentioned earlier on this page, as I encountered passing mentions of it, but I did not find a substantial account of it, and we are very careful about what goes on biographical pages. If you could point us to additional sources, I'd be delighted to work with them, or of course you could edit something in yourself. SeoR (talk) 23:57, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
