Congratulations!

[edit]

I made an allusion to this painting some weeks ago, but didn't even know its name. This is a very important and well done article.  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 18:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I was dead surprised one didn't exist already. –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 18:40, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have to agree. Major thumbs up on this article, and identifying that it didn't exist already. -- Zanimum (talk) 20:39, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"could not be displayed"

[edit]

DYK grabbed my attention, but it's not quite clear from the source that the painting isnt indeed accessible, let alone whether it 'could' be. There's no such claim in the Post article or on CNN, and this simply says "on view at the White House". Sparafucil (talk) 22:32, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The source is ambiguous, but its ambiguity is now revealed in full quotation. I have provided page references and page links to the article.  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 23:19, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't quite understand that bit either - I had to read the references provided, and as you said, is still unclear. Perhaps the appearance of the word "nigger" (not expected on a White House tour ?), or the emphasis shown to race (by an African-

American President). A would assume most people viewing an exhibition of art would be prepared for some thought provoking and emotional work ? - 12:16, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Needs the photo Rockwell used as the basis.

[edit]

This article does not seem to mention that Rockwell based this painting on a photo. 68.2.235.85 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:36, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure it's really important. However, if you believe Rockwell based the painting on a photo, then provide a reliable source that says that. Then, editors can decide whether it's important enough to mention in the article. Famspear (talk) 16:01, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

editorial cartoons

[edit]

Glenn McCoy chose to parody the painting with his 2017 "Trying to Trash Betsy DeVos", which drew controversy; some of the coverage noted that Mike Lester had similarly portrayed Rush Limbaugh as Bridges in the wake of Limbaugh's failure to purchase the St Louis Rams. Should either of these be in the article? DS (talk) 13:36, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in The Problem We All Live With

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The Problem We All Live With's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nrm":

  • From Walking to Church: "Walking to Church". Norman Rockwell Museum. Retrieved December 19, 2013.
  • From The Rookie (painting): "Normal Rockwell Museum Baseball Event/TheRookie". Norman Rockwell Museum. Retrieved December 22, 2016.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 15:42, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
