Wikipedia:GLAM/smarthistory

[edit]

Have you considered joining WP:GLAM/smarthistory? I think it will become a very good example of how Wikipedia and an outside educational non-profit can work together to improve both websites. Anything you'd like to contribute would be appreciated! Smallbones(smalltalk) 21:38, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Of course - I meant to, and then got caught up in the Your paintings dataset. Jane (talk) 09:05, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Just a thought - maybe update a series of women painters from one or both projects in time for Women's History Month. I'll see if I can identify a group on Smarthistory ... Smallbones(smalltalk) 14:58, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea - there are lots of women on the Your paintings list as well. Jane (talk) 16:58, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Apology

Sorry if it sounded like I was having a go at you earlier. I guess I just saw red mist when somebody suggested getting rid of one of my favourite and most useful areas of Wikipedia. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 20:53, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, and believe me, I can sympathize. I am just asking people to please take a moment and look at the results of this AfC project. I really think there is something wrong with it. Jane (talk) 20:59, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, correction (?)

[edit]

Jane,

Thanks so much for The Angelus. This is exactly what the GLAM/Smarthistory project needs. I made 2 changes - one just a link correction. "prayer TO the Angelus" sounded wrong to me, so I did a bit of reading in the sources you included and came up with my best guess for a correction.

Note that I'm not Catholic and the mysteries of that religion remain mysteries to me. My previous encounters with the Hail Mary are highlighted by the following:

Hail Mary! Full of Grace
Notre Dame's in 2nd place

So clearly my "correction" might be wrong!

Thanks again.

Thanks for the copyedit and compliment! I got into it mostly to do with the fascinating financial story, which I am still planning on working some more on when I get the chance. I noticed the article on droit-de-suite needs some wiki-love (odd because those of us who are into Visual arts on Wikipedia should know all about the history of this stuff). The influence on Dali during his schooldays was serendipitous - I had no idea, and now I keep seeing a praying mantis when I look at the woman in the picture. Sadly, the basket turns out to have been a coffin after all - xrays have been performed, something Dali wanted to have done in his lifetime. I am not Catholic either, so feel free to hack away at the religious theme - for some reason pictures of working folk praying were very moving to the 19th century public, and it would be interesting to find out why. Jane (talk) 21:54, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

links - re your comment

[edit]

I think that's where the community need to judge where ext.links are advertising or good calls of where to go next. We could use a commons cat but that might be tricky if there is no picture. smarthistory? I must find out more Victuallers (talk) 09:54, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't we the community? I see nothing wrong with making the link. I suppose we could ask for links to the holding institutions (and where there is none, then a link for the PCF). I am thinking here with my hat on as organizer, since I honestly don't see how else we can track the articles. Asking people to slap a template on a talk page is fine for hard-core Wikipedians, but frankly, newbies have no clue what that is. Or should we limit the contest to just the die-hard Wikipedians who regularly visit the project page? That's fine with me, since then we will get a lot less "chaff".

Progress over at Today's articles for improvement

[edit]

I was reading an old conversation you participated in, and I thought I'd mention how much progress has gone on over at Today's articles for improvement. If you missed it, an RFC was held and concensus was established that the TAFI content should be placed below the DYK content. We will be launching the feature on the Main Page shortly, and the Main Page sandbox shows it will look. Participation on the talk page is always welcome. --NickPenguin(contribs) 04:38, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note, it's nice to see this developing. I still think there should be a game element though. That makes it more fun for people to participate and serves as an extra motivator to join in the conversation. Jane (talk) 23:58, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Commentary

[edit]

It's actually nice to see that people here can still carry on a discussion from opposite viewpoints and not have it comes to blows or have third party interference from policy. I've not met you on site before, although to be fair most who still edit do so within certain spheres of exclusion/inclusion, so that is not altogether unsurprising. In either event, I thank you for the well thought out replies to my posts, since as I said it is getting harder an harder to find people who can be civilly engaged here. TomStar81 (Talk) 00:19, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
For your replies to my posts, which in turn rekindled (however briefly it may be) my desire to return and look in on Wikipedia for while, you are hereby awarded this Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar. Thanks for making me read and think, it feels like far too long since I've had to do either :) TomStar81 (Talk) 00:19, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! You brought up several important and relevant points, and I agree that Wikipedia is dying. I feel the reason is not the increasingly exclusionist policies however, but something much more simple - the amazing increase of mobile and use of film such as on Youtube. Wikipedia is working hard to improve the mobile experience, but I for one hate to edit on my phone. If you look at my edits, most of what I write is in article space in the spirit of "get it done", but I have recently been working more on outreach projects because I deeply feel that the "new article creation" process is seriously messed up, and I need help gathering the sum of knowledge on just Haarlem, not to mention the rest of the world! I don't think people are necessarily inclusionists or exclusionists here - I think the vast majority of "vets" like to edit their corner of Wikipedia and don't ever see the broader discussions. The question is how to get more people from the suffocating "newbie" stage where each edit they make is policed, and get them into the free-and-easy "vet" mode, without running the risk of major vandalism to the encyclopedia. It's all about trust, isn't it? I have talked in real life to dozens of Wikipedians who have made at least one edit, but who never noticed the donation button, the extra languages option on articles, or even the central notice banner - perhaps they developed a blind spot for extra screen spam from the early days of the internet, or perhaps the place where they work uses an intranet in such a way they no longer notice - who knows? Many Wikipedians devote all their time to these "cosmetic" corners of the screen and get very insulted if users haven't paid attention. If you have trouble finding civil Wikipedians in your corner of the world, maybe it's time for you to stop looking at the more contentious areas of Wikipedia for a while, and go back to what makes you happy about editting? I like resurrecting stories from the murky depths of archives and museum depots, but I occasionally step into the modern era and find myself slapped with copyvios as soon as I cross the magic 1913 copyright line. In order to keep sane I regularly go back to my list of forgotton-but-encyclopedic artists from Haarlem. Jane (talk) 08:11, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well I used to alternate between military history and certain fictional realms here, but fiction is arguably the most discriminated category of material on here, so these days I just stay away. I used to take pleasure in long term R&D work, but the standards for featured content are so far up there now that I have trouble appeasing everyone. Consequently, I usually just stay off the site these days. As for cosmetics, you may be on to something there, since our decline began around the time we switched to our currently used default page view option from the old monobook (I think) option. Perhaps the aesthetics have defeated us? Only time will tell. TomStar81 (Talk) 09:36, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Personally I care more whether an article I created gets translated into another language than whether it gets a bump up in "stub-start-A-B-C" status. I only use those talk page templates when I am working on a project for tracking purposes, and they are pretty messy to use for that. I don't believe I have ever properly read any one of the featured articles - they are usually quite long! If you are interested in Military history you should attend one of their meetups or try organizing one. I have met many polite Wikipedians who are pretty heavily into ships, for example. I agree fiction is difficult around here with all the non-fiction lovers around, and I have ignored a few requests for help on fictional books myself - I prefer non-fiction, but I do think the work should be done, just not by me.

Laurens van der Hem

[edit]

Hi Jane023! Thanks for your contributions. I noticed you add Laurens van der Hem to the outcomes in the World Digital Library project. I was taking a look at the article and ended up adding an external link to WDL content, however, I didn't see that you actually cited WDL's website or added any images from their cite in the article, so I had to remove it from the WDL outcomes page. That's how we're determining outcomes for tracking the successes during my residency. On the flipside, great work on Ab Salm, I'm so pleased to see that new article! I just wanted to let you know why I originally removed it, and why I'll probably remove the Laurens van der Hem article again. I'm sorry about this! (It's part of my metrics process, and I'm avoiding reporting content that actually wasn't directly improved utilizing WDL as a resource, at the request of WDL). Thank you again for your contributions to the project, I am so pleased to have you involved. SarahStierch (talk) 16:53, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK Thanks for the note - I would probably have added it back a third time otherwise, since I was unaware of that rule. I only wrote the article because it was redlinked on the WDL TODO page, though I didn't end up using the WDL link at all (I guess this means that you personally inspired me by listing his name there, not the WDL page, though I did see that the WDL picture was unusually colorful, so that led me to do some more investigation). For Ab Salm the WDL note was more informative, so I could use the WDL text though I didn't use the WDL picture. Jane (talk) 17:47, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GLAM-spam

[edit]

Dear Jane,

As soon as something is going on concerning your (?) project called GLAM some places like the Dutch Village Pump is flooded by templates and messages some of us don't want. We have more important things to do like e.g. writing and/or improving articles. Photography is a nice hobby for me too, however it's not easy in a country that refuses to respect the freedom of panorama. My suggestion is to make a special section (namespace even?) for this and other projects. Better than bugging everyone with it. English people seem to think they can tell theit ideas to the rest of the world and we have to accept their point of view. It's called bureaucracy at least. Many Wikipedia contributors don't like a behavior like this. We are all free (most of us). Hopefully soon enough you listen to the not so free as well. Thank you very much indeed forr time spent to read this wee complaint ;-)  Klaas|Z4␟V:  11:08, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Klaas/Zeaforus, thank you for your wee complaint. I am sorry you perceive my contribution today to the Dutch "Kroeg" as GLAM spam. Point taken and I must admit that your chances of being confronted with more "GLAM spam contributions" like the one I added today are indeed quite high. Sorry for the inconvenience, and I appreciate that you recognize my freedom to post such contributions! Though not everyone in the Kroeg is interested in architecture, I noticed that several people have already responded to my GLAM spam message. Happy editing. Jane (talk) 11:35, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
We are blessed as EU=citizens that we can move so easily from one country to another. We can go to places where life seems better than in our own, but in all countries there is something "wrong". We're still far away from a perfect world, I'm afraid. II wonder if such a perfect environment exists at all in this universe. I'm an optimist luckily, but we have the disadvantage to meet more disappointments than pessimists...  Klaas|Z4␟V:  12:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting of Flemish painters

[edit]

Hi Jane023, I noticed this and similar edits, and I wondered: why? Is there is a reason that Flemish painters pre-1830 should be ordered different than Flemish painters post-1830? I would personally, in the above example, use the "Van Apshoven" sort instead of the "Apshoven, Thomas van", but I'ld like to hear your arguments (or get a link to the discussion about this if any exists). Fram (talk) 13:07, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The main reason is because all period accounts of people with tussenvoegsels in their names were always sorted by patronimic up to well after the splitting off of Belgium in 1830. Later Belgium settled on their somewhat bizarre convention with the introduction of telephone directories (and most such Belgians solved this in modern times often by just removing the spaces between the tussenvoegsels and the patronym). See for an example in the group of Baroque painters that Anthony van Dijk is never sorted with the V's, but with the D's. Sorry, I am not good with digging up the diffs on this, but it has been discussed at length. Jane (talk) 13:45, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, van Dyck is a bit of an exception, having worked in England for so long. Looking at e.g. Hendrick van Balen, I note 568 cases sorted on Van, and 571 cases sorted on Balen, which is impressively inconclusive :-) Even looking at 21st century only, both seem to be in use. I prefer the "Van Balen" version (to stick with that example), but there doesn't seem to a strong argument against your choices, so feel free to change or not, whatever you prefer. Fram (talk) 14:00, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That also depends on what language your Google search is set to as default. I try to keep with the sorting and spelling used by the RKD, and the further you go into the 18th and 19th centuries their sorting does start showing up with tussenvoegsel first, then patronymic. When the RKD seems off, I will follow whatever was already decided on Commons for the Creator categories. I don't think there are any good reasons to sort by tussenvoegsel for people who died well before 1800 though. Jane (talk) 21:10, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
