Renaissance people, engineers etc
There are some categories of Renaissance people by occupation (artists and writers), but why not add the categories and appropriate names to List of Renaissance figures eg separate out architects from artists; add sections for engineers, and for scientists (which seems to have disappeared, as Galileo Galilei was in it). The Middle Ages is categoriesed as from the 5th to 15th centuries inclusive; and I aimed for engineers by period to have Ancient engineers, Medieval engineers and 16th to 19th century engineers ie a complete range. The Renaissance seems to be categorised over several centuries, 14th to 17th centuries. Hugo999 (talk) 23:04, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Leon Battista Alberti, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Renaissance Man (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Domenico Ghirlandaio‎;
Please don't do me the same thing you did with Michelangelo - removing everything I did because you feel you know better. Girladaio needs a gallery, and the pictures I chosen are good. Please don't leave that article without a gallery. Galleries are not discuraged. Images in the gallery collectively do have encyclopedic value and add to the reader's understanding of the subject. Galleries are not discuraged. Please see also this discussion here, Talk:Charles Marion Russell. Hafspajen (talk) 13:20, 10 May 2014 (UTC)


 * As about the pictures, I used the ones I found on commons, right? And I used the ones that were visible and were visible in a gallery. I hate people puting pictures in a gallery when you can't se a thing, enormous frescos and giant paintings and such. And also before I did anything with that article there were 3 pictures in it, and nothing else. One can't show an artist work by chosing 3 pictures only, that won't do. Also many of those pictures are rather good, you can place them in a different way, yes but don't remove it all of them. Hafspajen (talk) 13:34, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

And I have chosen those because the expressions of the faces. And Did it not striked you that he was a very good portrait painter?


 * One is entitled to have oppinions. You have quite a lot of them and don't hold them back a second. I studied in Art school - art and some art history, for four years. I have an exam in landscape architecture and currently I am studying teology and work as a landscape architect. And just because you like one picture it doesn't mean I have to like it. And I would appreciate if you would try to use some of the WP:Good faith recommended (Wikipedia pillar Nr 5), and try too look at the peoples good intentions and what is the good in them not only see the bad things about them, their mistakes and silly things. No need to explode over every little thing that others may do wrong. Hafspajen (talk) 15:24, 10 May 2014 (UTC)


 * talk, please do not refer to me as "exploding". It told you, as politely as I could, that galleries which are created without clear objectives get rapidly deleted. That is simply what happens. I haven't "exploded". What I have been inclined to do was a great deal of extra work on the said article, and have left myself a whole lot of "fact" tags so that now I will have to do the references.
 * This is not a matter of liking one picture better than another. It is a case of putting things together in the context of an article. Why are you ignoring my suggestion that you now add some of your favourite details to the gallery? Amandajm (talk) 15:37, 10 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, I am doing my best to fight against the gallery deleters. Some day Wikipedia will be a place where galleries are tolerated. And actually galleries were discuraged once upon a time like 2006, but they are not that any more. Architecture of cathedrals and great churches, for example has quite a lot of them and they are still there and add greatly to that article. Haven't noticed your  my suggestion, thanks, in that case I will. Hafspajen (talk) 17:16, 10 May 2014 (UTC)


 * So, done. Fountain is one of those articles that is a really a striking example for bad gallery use. But otherwise, for what is worth -  I think Domenico Ghirlandaio is a much better article now as it was like for 10 days ago...  People tend to forget about him, he is kind of in the shadow of Michelangelo, but he is not bad at all, really.  Hafspajen (talk) 18:15, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

See you working with Fountain...And if there is any editor who can fix that hopless aritcle, it is probably you... Hafspajen (talk) 11:27, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, somebody tried to put in all ever existing fountain in that article... No Putting together galleries that look good, serve a purpose and are not going to get deleted takes a lot of work. Jamming together every picture that appeals to you, is not a good way to go. You need to choose high quality images that sit well together. Then you need to arrange them as if you were hanging works in a real gallery.... A solitaire game, is that something you win? Hafspajen (talk) 13:12, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

I mean that that article has great potential. But as it is: Jamming together every picture found on commons, it is not that great. Half of the galleries probably don't add at all to the article. I think, (that's me9 that cosing 1 or 2 picture for every section is quite enough, thumb size single picture. And then it could de one or two real good galleries.

Main Page appearance: Wells Cathedral
This is a note to let the main editors of Wells Cathedral know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 7, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/June 7, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Wells Cathedral is a Church of England place of worship in Wells, Somerset, dedicated to St Andrew the Apostle, and is the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. The present building dates from 1175 to 1490, an earlier church having been built on the site in 705. With its broad west front and large central tower, it is the city's dominant feature and a landmark in the Somerset countryside. Its architecture presents a harmonious whole which is entirely Gothic and mostly in a single style, the Early English Gothic of the late 12th and early 13th centuries. In this Wells differs from most other English medieval cathedrals, which have parts in the earlier Romanesque style. The historian John Harvey considers it to be the first truly Gothic structure in Europe. Wells has an exceptional number of surviving secular buildings associated with its chapter of secular canons, such as the Bishop's Palace and the Vicars' Close, a residential street which has remained intact from the 15th century. The cathedral is a scheduled monument and is designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. The eastern end retains much ancient stained glass, which is rare in England.

You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. Thank you. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:01, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
