Biginner question

[edit]

Because I have no experience in working on Wikipedia, I must ask you biginner question - what content is placed on User page? And when I am already here, I must ask you something else. Would be of interest to write a series of articles about artists who were agents of change eighties art in Serbia known as New Image Painting. These would be the only authors who today, like Milovan Destil Markovic, lives across Europe: Slobodan Trajkovic (London), Tahir Lusic and Nada Alavanja (Dusseldorf), Mrdjan Bajic and Jarmila Vesovic (Paris), Tafil Musovic (Amsterdam) and so on.Despotović (talk) 18:02, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have carefully read the instructions that you gave me regarding the possible 'conflict of interest'. It is very possible situation since, as I have already said, I'll write a few articles on the famous Serbian artists who now live abroad. The one I have already written. Now, the problem is: they are artists and I am an art historian and art critic. Of course I'm professionally

familiar with them, their biographies and their art, and this falls under 'affiliated', ie. CIO. When I writing an encyclopedic article, then there are no amount of critical evaluation (which may be perceived not to represent a 'neutral point of view') but when the amount of their biographical and bibliographical facts, then, in my opinion, there are under the 'neutral point of view '. Also, when we comes to the article about me, for which you kindly has entered this warning, for example, just me in Belgrade and even in Serbia have a catalogue of the Biennial in Sao Paulo. I think it is understandable that only I can enter in the text necessary data for the quality and reliability of the text. It is also in the rest of the case in most of the entries that I have done. The text is set by one of my colleagues (whether it is also 'conflict of interest'?), arranged in parts of my colleagues from San Francisco to London and Berlin, will even include one of my acquaintances from Dushanbe (Tajikistan). Whether their participations also be "in conflict of interest '?. I apologize for the length, but I need clarification of my future writing articles for Wikipedia. Thank you very much .--Despotović (talk) 15:42, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your help desk query

[edit]

Your new article.

[edit]

I see you have created a new article - Slobodanka Stupar. Would you like some suggestions - criticism? Answer here on your talk page. GroveGuy (talk) 04:30, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since I'm new to Wikipedia I'm grateful for any suggestions. So please improve each article, not only Slobodanka Stupar. Thank you in advance.--Despotović (talk) 10:18, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been tagged with OneSource. You need more citations. The audience needs to know where everything on the page came from. I look at the Despotovic page and it has sources. You need to do the same thing for Stupar. I like the Paul Klee article. How about using infobox artist? GroveGuy (talk) 20:38, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am grateful for yours suggestions. As soon as I obtain all necessary facts I will set in the article. With infobox arti is much more difficult because I do not know enough a editing language, especially with the entry of photographs. On my page infobox and photograph was entered someone I do not know.--Despotović (talk) 22:25, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I just figured out to copy from my infobox page.--Despotović (talk) 22:45, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What do you want to know about photographs? I see your additions of infobox artist. GroveGuy (talk) 02:46, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are so kind. My problem is that I do not know to enter photos in the text. I understand that I will have to learn some day, so I would no longer pressure on with my ignorance. I also see that there is a problem with getting a license to publish photos. In any case, I will endeavor to overcome both. I would not longer bother you with these beginners banalities. If I have something serious, I'll call you for help. In any case, thank you very much.--Despotović (talk) 09:11, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has noticed that some new editors quit after a few weeks because it is not easy creating new pages. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Guides/New_pages They encourage older editors to help beginners who have started new articles. That's why I was helping you. If you need help or have any questions in the future, please contact me. GroveGuy (talk) 06:42, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now I see what it is for. From the articles I wrote and edited it shows that are purely about Serbian artists who now live and work abroad. I intend to occasionally write an article about these artists. Therefore, I would be grateful to help me in writing these articles with suggestions and remarks. If you do not notice these new articles, I will tell you. Also, when you have time, look to other articles that I wrote and tell me comments.Despotović (talk) 09:38, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I like this reference for Lubarda: http://thearthistoryjournal.blogspot.com/2011/02/petar-lubarda.html The two you put in don't work for me. To see the Grove Dictionary of Art you have to pay to have a subscription. Not good. GroveGuy (talk) 19:53, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
