[edit] Location
Is the work in the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg or in MOMA in NYC? The article says NYC at the top and St. Petersburg at the bottom. The photo caption suggests NYC (unless this only indicates that the image is courtesy MOMA, perhaps). At any rate, something for someone more knowledgable about this than myself to look into and fix. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ALC Washington (talk • contribs) 20:26, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- As far as I can see, the article correctly says that the subject painting is in MOMA, and notes the existence of another painting by the same artist called "Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory" in St. Petersberg FL. -- Infrogmation 03:40, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

- Ah, right you are. I must not have read closely enough. My mistake! ALC Washington 03:48, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

- I have seen it in NYC as recent at 2005. It will remain there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gatesofawesome! (talk • contribs) 20:55, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The head(?)
i'm studying Dali's the persistence of memory and i was wondering if anyone knows what the distorted head under one of the clocks mean. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.165.193.91 (talk • contribs) 19:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- According to Gardner's Art Through the Ages, it is a "creature" based on a figure from the center panel of Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights Theshibboleth 23:59, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] General Editing
If you see any edits by the IP 166.109.0.118, please revert to the older version. This individual deleted the trivia section and judging from his/her other "contributions", does nothing but trivial, unproductive edits to articles, making it difficult for everyone else. Thanks. -- Ubiq 06:59, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
The metaphor about the clocks being like cloth was innacurate, Dali got the idea eating runny cheese. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gatesofawesome! (talk • contribs) 20:55, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Section titles
The title I gave to the first section is HORRIBLE. Please help me come up with something. I wanted to turn this from one long section into multiple ones. Give each section context sort of.. I tried I guess. haha Lsjzl 22:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 'Most famous'?
Should this really claim without qualification this was Dali's most famous painting? Seems far from clear to me - he did lots of famous paintings. Ben Finn 22:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC) Care to name a few?RSido 05:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
