[edit] License tagging for Image:Prezziecondizioni.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Prezziecondizioni.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Dutch and Flemish painting

Hi Vlad, you've been doing a lot of work on Flemish and Belgian painters which is great. You also made a template, something I planned on doing as well, but you've beasten me to it. A few remarks:

  • I hate to see Belgian painting taken together with Flemish painting. Flanders before 1648 has little or nothing to do with the country Belgium. In painting, there's a gap of two centuries between the last (significant) "Flemish" painter and the first "Belgian" painter. So I would drop the Belgian painter list from the "History of Dutch and Flemish painting" template.
  • I don't think you can classify Early Netherlandish painting as "Early Renaissance". You definitely need a source for it. The two sources we have use "Early Netherlandish painting" and "Late Gothic" as designations, so you can't put this in the template under "Early Renaissance". It bugs me that in so many Renaissance-related articles here, Van Eyck is given as an example of Renaissance painting. This is very contested, I intend to replace him everywhere by maybe Breughel, who is undisputedly a Renaissance figure.
  • Dutch Baroque ("Golden Age", 1584 – 1702). We have to use the actual article names in the template. If you think this style should be called "Dutch Baroque", you have to discuss this on the article's talk page and the article has to be renamed. If you think, or have a source, that "Dutch Baroque 1584-1702" makes sense, you should create an article under Dutch Baroque. However, the difference between Rubens and the Dutch Golden Age painters is so big that I don't think it makes sense to put them under the same topic in the template.

Most of this is my own opinion, feel free to react. But in general, you cannot go and write this history on your own, sources are needed - the more the better. Piet | Talk 07:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I intend to help out a bit if I find time. You're doing good work but I thought I'd better make these points now. I was thinking of creating a Wikiproject for Flanders to get some people together and to construct some guidelines, because until now it's been mostly efforts by lonely people.
