Request[edit]

@ŠJů: Since I've seen you work on many Prague-related articles, I'm wondering if you might be able to confirm that Réva is the best title of this sculpture (which I based on the Commons category), and perhaps add a Czech-language source? Any help would be much appreciated. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:01, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: Btw., I would never create a separate Wikipedia article about an ordinary statue in a park, created by not much known sculptor. I think, only an exceptional statue should have its separate article. As regards subjects of local importance, not world-famous, their proper names should be used in original form, not ad-hoc translated, as well as we don't translate names of people, towns, streets etc. Such a translation can be not unequivocal (the first as well as the second language can have more synonymes etc.).

However, cs:Karla Vobišová-Žáková is not very known but she was reputedly the first Czech female professional sculptor. This 1960 statue at Kampa island is known under various names, Réva (Vine) or Dívka s hrozny (Girl with grapes).

A description is in the official Monument Catalogue by the National Heritage Institute: socha Réva.

Only photographical documentation is on the website of the central city district of Prague 1: "Monuments managed by city district of Praha 1": Réva

This is a page about the statue at a web Vetřelci a volavky (Aliens and herons), mapping Prague statues from communist era.

Utterly marginally is the statue mentioned in the 2010 article from the feminist magazine Women, gender and modern art this --ŠJů (talk) 13:25, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ŠJů: This is very helpful, thank you! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:53, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I redirected Dívka s hrozny and Girl with grapes to this article. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:31, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
