If you still have contacts at the BM
If you still have dealings with the BM, can you at some point (decidedly non-urgent) ask them if they have any objections to releasing their copy of Una Alarmed into the public domain? Of the surviving copies I can find, this seems to be the highest quality, and as-and-when I get round to writing William Etty I'd like to use it as a good example of how Etty's followers (which in practice were just Frost and Millais) developed on his style. Commons has a b/w lithograph but I'd rather use a coloured version if possible. (The original cartoon seems to have vanished off the face of the earth; everyone else seems to think the V&A have it but they say they don't, and it doesn't appear in their catalogue.) I know under the WMF's morally dubious "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain" policy, Commons has already granted itself the right to steal from other peoples' websites, but I'm reluctant to do so, especially given that the BM is explicitly claiming copyright. – iridescent  14:25, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, if you're interested in Etty, much of his archive and collection has ended up at York Art Gallery and the York Museum Trust where my GLAMwiki project is based, would love to help you improve his article if possible? What do you think? Cheers, PatHadley (talk) 10:41, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * PatHadley, I intend to wipe and rebuild from scratch his biography at some point; the current bio is largely plagiarised from his 19th-century DNB entry and is really not fit for purpose. (I recently removed some outright lies about a non-existent collection of his works in the NGS, but that's just scratching the surface; it still contains such gems as "he was famous for painting in the nude".) I want to get articles on his most significant works up and ready before I start on the biography itself; I have The Sirens and Ulysses, The Destroying Angel and Candaules complete, but I'd like to get a few more of the most significant works as stand-alone articles—and an adequate biography of Etty's sidekick William Edward Frost—to avoid having to discuss them in detail in the article itself. (Someone has just created an article on Youth & Pleasure, but it has a decent claim to be the poorest quality art history article I've ever seen, and I fully intend to overwrite it as if it had never existed.)


 * I'd be glad of help from the YAG, but would suggest the best approach would be if I rewrite the biography, and then turn it over to the YAG for any corrections/additions they want to make, rather than have multiple people trying to write at once. (Etty is a relatively easy topic from a Wikipedia point of view, as there have only been six significant academic works published on him in the last century, all of which are sitting on the shelf in front of me, so he's one of the rare topics where it's genuinely possible to meet the "thorough survey of the relevant literature" holy grail.)
 * One thing you could ask the YAG to assist with, if they're willing, is to re-photograph The Wrestlers. The version currently on Commons has something weird going on with the colour balance, making the reds far too intense and thus creating strange scarlet auras for the particiants (the effect is particularly noticeable at higher resolutions, if you zoom in on either of the wrestlers' heads—compare the version on the YAG's own website). The YAG do presumably already have high quality photographs of the piece, as there's a full-page illustration of it in the catalogue to their 2011 Art & Controversy exhibition.
 * It would also be helpful to ask if they have any upcoming events for which they'd like the various articles' TFA appearances held back; some of the more garish images like The Sirens and Ulysses will be pure clickbait in the TFA slot, and will have the potential to send quite a bit of traffic their way. Sirens and The Destroying Angel both got about 12,000 pageviews in the relatively ignored DYK slot—I'd conservatively estimate that in the more prominent TFA slot they'd get around 50,000 and 30,000 pageviews respectively.

Ednam
Normally I'd never link somewhere so obscure without at least a county or district, but Ednam is to Scottish poetry what St Ives is to English painting or Shildon is to heavy engineering. If it were anyplace with sensible boundaries, I'd have included and linked Roxburghshire to make it clear where it is, but our Caledonian cousins have in their wisdom messed about with all their county boundaries, and Ednam is now in Scottish Borders which would be a complete anachronism if included in a 19th-century article. We have exactly the same problem with places like Saddleworth (historically and culturally Yorkshire, but administratively Manchester, and thus by implication Lancashire), with places like Uxbridge which still consider themselves Middlesex even though they've been part of London for decades, and with the Lincolnshire half of Humberside. I used to have the same problem with disused railway stations as well; I never did find a satisfactory solution other than linking the town and leaving the county off, and that's before we get into the mess of places like Alsace or Königsberg. – iridescent  15:59, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Flemish Hunting Deck
Hi Johnbod, I noticed that on the page Flemish Hunting Deck you changed "Courtyears Hunting Set" to "Courtier's Hunting Set". Someone else made the same change a while back. You seem to know a bit about art so I hoped you can enlighten me because as a native speaker of Dutch: Hofjaren/Courtyears, hof=court jaren=years. But maybe I'm unfamiliar with a term here. Crispulop (talk) 16:57, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Courtier is a word in English but Courtyear isn't. What do years have to do with it? Johnbod (talk) 16:59, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Hofjaren is not an official word in Dutch either, that's why I provided a direct translation from the loose words. The Dutch word for courtier is hoveling, which hofjaren clearly is not a misspelling of. I'll scrap the translation from the article as it proves to be confusing and is not mentioned in the sources.

Ceramic arts refs
Hi, good to hear from you, and thanks for weighing in. The issue on that article is that an editor doesn't want to know that the article needs reffing because, he argues, it's in summary style, so that's all right then. I hope he'll bow to the inevitable soon. As it happens, I started adding refs to wholly uncited sections, and, running out of time before hols, slapped a wholly justified tag on it, which was promptly removed. I put it back along with an open-and-shut case, which the guy is, remarkably, arguing with. Hence the sermon. I'm (as you know) pretty hands-on with reffing up articles and cutting out the WP:OR, but I don't recall ever coming across someone who boldly claimed it didn't apply to them! All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:31, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think he means that - he adds lots of refs on other stuff. When there are lots of refs to more detailed articles, hopefully with their own refs, the need to ref up broad topical articles does become a bit less urgent, I think. Cheers, Johnbod (talk) 02:25, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Welsh-speaking people
Given the centuries of persecution suffered by Welsh-speakers (just read the history - it makes for shocking reading), the fact that the Welsh language still exists as a living language is nothing short of a miracle. Naturally therefore, it is of much interest to those interested in the Welsh language, those interested in Welsh current affairs, those interested in minority languages as well as to many members of the public in general, for it to be acknowledged that certain notable public figures e.g. politicians, sportspeople or musicians have the ability to speak Welsh. Indeed, failing to do so seems to suggest that the Welsh language is of no significance, to anybody. Whilst some may argue that the language that one speaks is not actually significant, this viewpoint is likely to be prevalent in individuals with a limited understanding of minority languages/cultures. Put another way, whilst the fact that a notable person can speak English may not be necessarily of interest - mainly due to the fact that English is the third most widely-spoken language in the world - by contrast, when a notable person who happens also to speak Welsh is not acknowledged as a Welsh speaker this is missing a very important point, simply because Welsh is much less prevalent than English. Yes, defining a cohort of Welsh-speaking people is of interest to many people, even if that does not happen to include the person(s) who instigated the deletion of this category in the first place. Therefore, just as the section 'Notable people with the name Prabhu', or 'Category:Black British people', for example, may not be of interest to a certain individuals, the fact that these Categories/Sections exist confirm the fact that they are of interest to at least some Wikipedia users, and the same is true for 'Category:Welsh-speaking people'. I hope that the majority of Wikipedia users/editors wish to build a more informative and inclusive encyclopaedia, and not an encyclopaedia that projects an Anglo-American bias whereby smaller cultures and languages are dismissed. I therefore call upon those who instigated this deletion to see beyond their possible prejudices, and remain true to Jimmy Wales' Statement of Principles by re-instating this category without further delay please as many useful links have been lost with the current deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haul~cywiki (talk • contribs) 19:26, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

 * No, it isn't. I'm not sure why you would think it was. If you look you will see it is relocating and adding to a passage from the same article, cut in the immediately preceding edit. . Johnbod (talk) 18:43, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

...you mean the edit where I a) brought the article in line with WP:OPENPARA and b) removed unreferenced content? Not sloppy at all. GiantSnowman 09:14, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Readeption.
It is not an abtruse term; it is a fully-sourced one. It certainly not up to you to arbitrarilly decide what is and what is not acceptable. It has been accepted as the consensus, and again, not for you to ajudge. Please self-revert. Many thanks. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 
 * It is a massively abstruse term, as the discussions amply demonstrate. I can't help suspecting that is why you like it so much. I am just applying normal MOS standards. I suggest you read the guidelines on section headings, which should be kept as simple as possible. The word is used immediately below too. Johnbod (talk) 12:32, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You should assume good faith and keep your 'suspicions' to the back of your mind. When you say the TP discussions, you are of course referring to the fact that only you and an IP found it hard to understand. I responded to all the points you made then; this was eighteen days ago. Am allowed to 'suspect' that you have waited this long to change it in the hope that no-one would notice? And the fact that the main article uses a paricular wording is, in the interests of consistency, all the more reason to use it in the section title. If you think that the overall phrasing is "a complicated section heading" (five words?!) then feel free to use 'Readeption to the throne.' But readeption has a specific- and unavoidable- meaning in this context. Simplicity does not equal alteration. Cheers. Fortuna  Imperatrix Mundi  12:44, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You should assume good faith and keep your 'suspicions' to the back of your mind. Did I actually participate in the discussion? I don't remember doing so. I improved a bad section heading that was causing squabbles. That's all. Please calm down. Johnbod (talk) 12:46, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You participated here. You asked why the word was used; I replied, cogently, with sources. 'Calm down' indeed. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi  12:51, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Why use a word that 9999 of 10000 people will have no clue what it means? Hell, *I* studied medieval history in college and *I* had never heard of that word or seen it used in connection with Henry VI. Use a simpler word. Ealdgyth - Talk 12:53, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

I've moved the title back minus the definite article per WP:COMMONNAME because most English language literature omit it, and don't even add the English definite article.

What should an article on Mathematics and architecture include?
Hi, I wonder if I can ask for a few quick thoughts. I've spent working on Mathematics and art and think it's about ready for GA; and then realised that Mathematics and architecture was in a ridiculously stubby state, and have now already spent a while on that (much further out of my comfort zone, really). As there are seem to have been no resident editors (Cerberuses?) for some years - is that what's happening all over Wikipedia, I wonder? - I am feeling in need of a second opinion. I've mentioned the Parthenon, Vitruvius, the Italian Renaissance, and sketched some of the main mathematical splendours of 20th century architecture; and am wondering what else I ought to cover? I've already gone way beyond the elementary accounts (most of which whiffle on about the golden ratio, worse luck). Hmm? Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:10, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm - not my areas at all, either architecture or maths! On the art one, you don't seem to be using a comprehensive account of the whole subject - but these must exist, no. Ernst Gombrich has loads on this sort of thing, which I rather struggle with. There are important points, well explained, in: Baxandall, Michael, Painting and Experience in 15th century Italy, 1972, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0198813295 - mainly in Part II. There's not too much on ornament forms, though I dare say these get very complicated very quickly. Should be GA-ready.


 * Again on the architecture one I'd try to find a single comprehensive account. You don't mention the curved columns of the Parthenon and other classical buildings. Can't see Sacred geometry mentioned - another really terrible article.  Is Vitruvian module there, or Modulor? With them added, the dire Proportion (architecture) could be redirected. You could ask for advice, or help, at the Maths project. Those are my "few quick thoughts" - I hope they are some use!  Johnbod (talk) 18:07, 6 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Many thanks, and exactly - the topic frightens off everybody who knows A but not B, B but not A, and neither A nor B, which is most of us, I think. I've mentioned Sacred geometry in the M & art article, so I know where to look on that subject! Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:18, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

The term "idol" isn't always pejorative
See this religious source - and the rest I found when searching for the use of idol to describe a Murti. Or these. I don't want to edit war, but Wikipedia can't state that as a fact. Doug Weller (talk) 13:57, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * As I said somewhere, it is a peculiarity of Indian English that idol is not pejorative, although the people who introduced the word to India certainly meant it to be so. One might say that. Johnbod (talk) 16:08, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * And that was Christian prejudice against non-Christians, pure and simple. Nonetheless we can't say it's always pejorative,. It's used here in a specifically non-pejorative sense.
 * And of course your statement isn't sourced. You know we need sources for something like that. And we need to make it clear that it is used in Indian English in a non-pejorative way for Hindus to discuss their religious practices. Doug Weller (talk) 18:27, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * See footnote 552, which rather proves my point! Johnbod (talk) 01:58, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

new formatting?
Hello! Question: just noticed on my Working page new Title/URL formatting for FR links. The suggestion is in red, looking like this:


 * (see index)

This is seen through all FR links (including previously approved links). The FR links that have already been added to Wiki pages display the new instruction (see: Royal Academy Summer Exhibition). Would you happen to know if Wikipedia will be converting all the past FR links to the new formatting? Or will this be something we will have to edit ourselves manually? Thank you for any insight! Csldigicol (talk) 15:39, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, no. I just mentioned this on your page. I see from the category that collects these errors Category:CS1_errors:_external_links that there are over 11,000 of them, so someone may eventually set up a bot to autocorrect them, which I doubt would be difficult for those who can do these things. The links still work, so for now I'd concentrate on getting the new ones right. Johnbod (talk) 16:27, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Rock relief draft
@Johnbod: I appreciate your note of encouragement. I was reading your Rock relief draft. Consider including Descent of the Ganges (Mahabalipuram), the Hampi rock reliefs 1 and 2, etc. These are not inside caves, nor complete statues. Petra rock reliefs in Jordan is worth a mention. Yungang Grottoes are partly Buddhist rock relief (the more impressive and more preserved art is inside the caves, of course). Qenko rock reliefs in Peru, from what I remember, are geometric shapes and a puma relief... may be worth mentioning. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 20:06, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

(ps): Kbal Spean in Cambodia too. The rock reliefs are both on the rocks along the river and the river bed rock. Mostly Hindu, some Buddhist. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 20:13, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, yes it's early days - this is a spin-off from User:Johnbod/Persian art, an even larger gap. I was certainly going to include Mahabalipuram, which unlike most of these I've actually seen, and others. There must be more Chinese ones, but its striking how relatively restricted the range is - you'd think they would appeal to the Greeks & Romans, but not at all. If put high enough, it's a good strategy for keeping your self-promotion intact over the ages, at least until just recently.  Jago or Jason from the BM was at some decent but peeling regional Olmec reliefs on the telly just recently, but I can't remember the name. You don't know that, by any chance? I've just recently become aware of your work, which is great and really necessary stuff. Keep up the good work! If religious bickering gets you down, art history articles are usually much more tranquil - nobody much cares what you put at Indian art, Jain art etc.  Our coverage is pretty terrible.  Johnbod (talk) 20:20, 19 October 2015 (UTC)


 * @Johnbod: Olmec... Chalcatzingo? Art history is a fascinating subject indeed. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 21:00, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * That's the place, and we have a decent article too - Chalcatzingo - thanks! Johnbod (talk) 21:04, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

If you intend to link to a disambiguation page, as you did here, please follow WP:INTDABLINK and pipe the link through a "Foo (disambiguation)" redirect.

Off-topic at the e-cigs case
Moving this here because it's off topic in the case discussion:

I wish your non-nonsense acceptance of the fact that politics (e.g. fear of litigation, and "won't get fooled again" stance-taking) is strongly influencing at least the US medical profession's approach, were adopted by MEDRS. In several long threads at WT:MEDRS, I was unable to convince many of the regulars there that FDA and AMA press releases are not "ideal" sources, but are primary sources with obvious institutional biases. As far as I know, that guideline still treats those medial releases, position statements, and alerts as the #1 most preferred sources for medical articles on WP, and this is utterly wrongheaded and dangerous. There seems to be a confusion that any source that synthesizes previous material is a secondary source even when it comes to a conclusion based on it that is entirely that of the author. If this were true, any pseudoscience analysis (like "we can't explain how the pyramids were built, and many scientists think aliens must exist because the universe is so large, ergo aliens build the pyramids") would be secondary sourcing. There's even a confusion about reputability of the publisher. The AMA and the FDA (and equivalents in other countries) are reputable sources for what a national-level mainstream medical consensus is, based on kinda-sorta recent research that they choose to accept, and filtered through several layers of politics and PR; they're not reputable sources for medical facts presented neutrally, without all this spin. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  23:43, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Well yes. I suggest you don't try editing any article that QG is taking an interest in then! Johnbod (talk) 01:23, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I think I remember him being part of the discussion at WT:MEDRS before I walked away in frustration/disgust. But he was not alone.  There's some serious confusion going on, despite WP:NOR providing clear definitions of what they mean here, about what a primary, secondary or tertiary source is for WP purposes. Some people familiar with these terms from their own fields, where they often have widely divergent meanings from discipline to discipline, seem unwilling to recognize that WP is not topically applying different definitions of "secondary source". Nor that WP depends on  secondary sources from reputable publishers than run them through an editorial process independent of the author (i.e. there are many sources that are technically secondary in by being analytic/synthetic, but which must be treated as primary because of their preconceived or unreviewed conclusions).  I haven't figured out what to do about this problem, but it's pretty serious.  It seems to relate some to the refusal in certain circles to accept that it is not the best practice on WP to cite the new-research journal papers and ignore the literature reviews that integrate them, rather than the other way around. In [many fields of] academic publishing it  the cutting-edge research that is sought, and lit. reviews are basically boring homework, but it's the opposite for us here; we're depending on the peer-reviewed evaluation and interpretation in the lit. revs. to tell us what hypotheses in the assertive papers has found acceptance or been rejected.  Sorry, I know you know all this already; I'm just working out how to word an approach to reopening this issue.
