Hello everyone, I just added a sentence MAAnglistikBielefeld 08:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC)ARW[reply]

Well, I have just removed the kitchen section, to which you added two different sections based on copyright material. This is not acceptable here. Charles Matthews 20:22, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I just wanted to mention that this section seems very out of sync with the modernism page, linked above the article. I'm not an expert, but unless American Modernism is an entirely different movement than 'European' Modernism (which is entirely possible), than this page should be restructured.

For example, the Modernism page says "Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking, and also that of the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator.[4][5]" but the American Modernism page specifically states that Modernism was an outgrowth of enlightenment thinking.

Influence of technology[edit]

I think what this article focuses on mainly, especially in "Everyday life and culture" is product of technological advancements, not the product modernism itself. Lot of work is needed on this article.Sourcerery (talk) 11:41, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Original research[edit]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I was drawn to this article through citation needed tag in fashion and furniture section. Researched it and found nothing, I also saw alleged references at bottom of page for broader section "Everyday life and culture" of which Fashion was part. On further inspection I can confirm that those references make no mention of modernism in general or American modernism which is particular point of interest for this article.

Original research sections[edit]

Upon closer examination I have determined that following sections are OR

  • Jazz,
  • Feminism, gender, and sexuality,
  • American icons in European mind,
  • Everyday life and culture.

Sections that do have references, have references that make no mention of modernism yet alone American modernism and neither do main articles for some of those section. Material in article does not explain how and why are these topics relevant to article and how they relate to modernism in general. Further, some references have no obvious connection to section they are in, for example Stieglitz, A. (1997): Alfred Stieglitz. Cologne: Könemann. in Feminism, gender, and sexuality is weird since Stieglitz is photographer. All these things has led me to conclude this sections are Original research.

Sections that appear to belong in article but lack references[edit]

Those sections would be History and Architecture and space. Since they appear to be written by same editor as OR sections, little OR and Synthesis is highly probable in those sections as well.

Generally OK sections with established connection to topic[edit]

That sections are Visual arts and American modernist literature but some subsections still lack references and because of things previously discussed should be checked for OR and Synthesis. Aocdnw (talk) 13:41, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
