Different artworks? Different pages?..

Hello editors,

I have a question about Follow my dreams page. It is about a hand-painted mural by the italian artist TVBoy in 2022 in the city of Barcelona. This mural was originally called "Super Alexia" where you could read in the background the phrase: "Follow your dreams" with the footballer Alexia Putellas stepped out painted in a Superwoman outfit with a cape clearly visible on her back. In 2023, due to the multitude of vandalism acts, the artist decided to redo the mural, but neither the phrase nor the drawing of the player were the same. You can see the clear differences with the 2022 painting: [1] and the 2023 updated painting: [2]

In the Talk:Follow my dreams I proposed to make different articles because the new painting of 2023 should be treated as a completely different one even if it is located in the same place and on top of the old painting. The painting and the message in the background is totally different as you can read in the article: [3]

Throughout history, many painters have painted over other paintings and they have never been treated as updates of these but yes as a different works. It is currently an active dispute with user Kingsif that recently moved the page (Super Alexia to Follow my dreams) and reverses the edits I made because he wants to fix the date of the old 2022 painting but the name "Follow my dreams" was created in the year 2023 not in 2022.

What do you think?

Help improving my first article, on artist Amikam Toren

User:2025Newbie/sandbox

Hello, I’m an aspiring Wikipedia content creator and complete beginner. This is my first article and I would welcome all criticism and advice on how I can improve. I still have some citations to source for this – these are marked by * in the text.

What am I getting wrong about the ISBN’s cited here?

My interests are Contemporary Art, Physics, Philosophy and Literature. 2025Newbie (talk) 19:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

The issue with the ISBNs was that you put "ISBN" in the data field after the "isbn=". You don't need to do that, the Wikimedia markup software inserts that automatically for you when it renders the page.

|isbn=978-1-9993285-2-8 is correct.

|isbn=ISBN 978-1-9993285-2-8 is incorrect.

Hope that helps in the future. (I've already fixed it in your draft.)

Infobox

Hello. I would like some feedback on an infobox for artist collectives currently in my sandbox. Does it seem suitable for publishing Thank you. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 14:32, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

You should add a "name" field. That way, if the page title contains a parenthetical disambiguation or is a shortened version of the full name, it can be manually overridden in the infobox. GranCavallo (talk) 15:31, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Repeating my comment elsewhere: "Personally, I'd much rather not see this, or anything like it, used. Almost everything in it will be disputable or disputed, or is really vague. It seems a classic example of where an infobox is just unhelpful clutter, and will displace or make too small an image that would be more helpful." Johnbod (talk) 17:24, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Joining WikiProjects question

Hewo! I have a question: how do I join a project? Bella. (talk) 02:25, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

To join this project, all you have to do is add your name to the Participants list on the project page. Joining other projects is the same, but some other projects have their participants lists on separate subpages. You can find more Wikiprojects at the WikiProject Directory.

WikiProject template use

Should the visual arts Wikiproject template be added to the talk page of films such as 'Lust for Life (1956 film) and others which focus on painting, sculpture, or visual artists? I'd say yes, and if nobody "stops me before I template again" will add it to such films at some point. Had already placed it on the Thomas Crown Affair page when I thought of asking here. Thanks.

Review/Feedback: Cady Noland

Hi y'all -- just popping in to say I'm looking for feedback on the Cady Noland article, I recently revamped/greatly expanded it and have been awaiting GA review. Any feedback is welcome to help improve it, I'm trying to get a handle on how to craft a complex artist bio completely and correctly (this is my second attempt after Sam Gilliam), I really enjoy doing this so I want to be sure I'm getting everything correct style- and structure-wise so I can repeat this process with some other high-profile artists with languishing articles (in addition to lesser known artists and those needing new articles, but obviously it's a different task when dealing with an artist on whom there is an abundance of literature). Thanks! 19h00s (talk) 14:54, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Good article? 19h00s, your extensive work on the page deserves a Feature. Noland's work is...interesting...and then I saw what some of it was auctioned for, which moves it to "Interesting!". Randy Kryn (talk) 15:37, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

You have made great improvements to this article! I will try to look at it more closely soon and make additional edits or leave any suggestions I have on the talk page. Good luck with the good article review! Asparagusstar (talk) 15:47, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

As is often the case, the lead is rather short for an article of this length. Johnbod (talk) 18:21, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
