Hello, I'm Escape Orbit. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Speculations about Mona Lisa, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Kempler's theory is a reliable source. See POTD 22 October 2013. Self published website is the best source for his theory. MonaCaterina (talk) 05:41, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

A self published web site is worthless to Wikipedia as a source for his theory. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 17:50, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Picture of the day

Mona Lisa (La Joconde) is a half-length portrait of a woman by Leonardo da Vinci which was probably completed between 1503 and 1506, with further refinement continuing until 1517. Though the painting is thought to be of Lisa del Giocondo, a lack of definitive evidence has long fueled alternative theories as to the sitter's identity, including that it may represent Leonardo's mother Caterina in a distant memory. It has been held in the Louvre in Paris since 1797 and is acclaimed as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world."Painting: Leonardo da Vinci

Pictures don't make you a reliable source. We don't use comments on newspaper or encyclopedia articles. And finally, the constant sock puppetry has meant that it is even less likely Kempler's ideas will ever be included here. Of course you can ask at WP:RSN.

Kempler's theory (TXu 1-812-842, TXu 1-857-507, TXu 1-906-294) is a reliable source not because of his pictures. Kempler's theory is actually the truth. Those highly knowledgeable in the arts understand that his theory is indeed the truth. I think it doesn't really matter where it was published. The user Relpmek made mistakes because he didn't know all the rules and the unwritten rules here. In addition this was a new theory here and he had many difficulties. My suggestion is forget the past and think of the Mona Lisa. MonaCaterina (talk) 18:50, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
