Talk:Wheat Fields

Direct quote - Whitman
In the article on June 22, 12:31:
 * Van Gogh, who "particularly admired a poem by Walt Whitman about beauty to be found in a blade of grass", began painting swaying stalks of wheat in Paris.

In the source:
 * While institutionalized, van Gogh read a great deal and particularly admired a poem written by Walt Whitman about the beauty in a blade of grass. He started painting grasses in Paris, notably wheat fields, their swaying leaf blades expressing movement and energy.  At Saint-Remy he painted close-ups of wild sedges and oat grasses…

Reworded to say "particularly admired a poem written by Walt Whitman about the beauty in a blade of grass" --CaroleHenson (talk) 22:03, 26 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't use the swaying. The swaying belongs to the original author. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 22:10, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, yes, agreed! How is "waving" instead?  Thanks.--CaroleHenson (talk) 22:20, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Re recent page move
This article was recently moved by JHunterJ from Wheat Fields (Van Gogh series) to Wheat Fields, with reference to WP:PRECISION. It really needs to be disambiguated from other articles with similar titles, not least Wheat Fields (van Ruisdael). Perhaps you could make a case for these Van Gogh paintings being a primary topic, but I'd like to see some evidence for that, and there is also the more specific Van Gogh series at The Wheat Field (are we really relying on the definite article to disambiguate two similar series of paintings by the same artist?) not to mention many articles mentioned wheatfield and wheatfields. I think it should be moved back. Theramin (talk) 00:19, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Wheat Fields was a redlink before the move. I have no objection to undoing the move and putting a disambiguation page at the base name. (FYI: Wheat field, wheat fields, and Wheat Field are currently redlinks; adjustments to those might also be warranted.) -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:24, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, I was hoping someone else might chip in, but it seems it is just us. Yes, I think the move should be undone, and a disambiguation page set up.  We probably need to deal with all of the variants (with or without space, hyphen, capitals, plural, definite or indefinite article, etc).  Wheatfield and Wheatfields are doing some of that work at the moment, and I can't see the need for adding yet more disambiguation pages, but I won't object if you prefer to do that.  Then we have pages like Wheat Field with a Lark, Arles: View from the Wheat Fields (aka "Wheat Field with Sheaves and Arles in the Background"), Wheat Field with Cypresses ... but I suspect the primary topic ought to about fields of wheat.
