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?

Trying to lowercase Hudson River School and others

An attempt to lowercase some of them most well-known names of artists groups is now at Talk:Bolognese School#Requested move 26 July 2024. They include the Hudson River School which has very few equals as a known uppercased name. I've added the overwhelming n-grams for uppercase of the Hudson River School at the discussion.

Yes, more comments please (there)! Johnbod (talk) 13:58, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Posthumanist art

We are approaching the 10th anniversary of this 2-line unreferenced stub. Amazingly, it does seem to be a thing, with two books from US uni presses, and so on. Can anyone make it more respectable? Johnbod (talk) 03:28, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Art collective infobox

I have created a prototype of an infobox for artist collectives (after struggling to use the general artist one for graffiti crews) and the instructions for creating infoboxes says to seek advice from the relevant WikiProject before publishing it - which I believe is this one. The infobox is here in my sandbox. I appreciate any feedback very much! -- NotCharizard ^🗨 12:36, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, this will be appropriate for very few articles, I think. Johnbod (talk) 17:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
