[edit] Page move

Hi all. I've moved the main article from Rape of the Sabine Women (Giambologna) to The Rape of the Sabine Women per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name)#Titles of works. The name of the sculpture isn't ambiguous so no need for the brackets on the main article, and it should keep its 'The' at the beginning. Rape of the Sabine Women (Giambologna) now redirects here, and I've fixed all the double redirects created ~ Veledan • Talk 16:38, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

• Oh, and in case any of the authors see this note, cheers for the interesting article :-) I saw and admired this sculpture only last year but knew nothing of its background so I'm glad I stopped by ~ Veledan • Talk 16:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

What about the painting... is there going to be a different page for that? AB

• I didn't know there was a painting. That article could have the name of the painter in brackets, and have a link added to the disambiguation line at the top of this article, or alternatively my page move could be undone by an admin and this page could be converted to a disambiguation page. ~ Veledan • Talk 14:59, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Story

(Regarding my minor edit to the Story section.) In deference to the extensive work of those who've preceded me please feel free to reject my small change. However, I've made an attempt to improve the style: I've always recoiled from that graceless, baffling term, "pre-existing." The word itself seems redundant: In essence, the root, "existing," means the same thing. Further, in this context, citing the Sabines implies their existence.
