[edit] Welcome back

Good to see you back. If you want any help trying to retrieve your old account, let me know. Tyrenius (talk) 16:25, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much! You've spotted me, I have found your message just before signing in to get in touch with you. Indeed, it would be good to have my old account (lost in a hardware crash) back as a subpage of the new one. If this is posssible and you could help me along, perfect! All the best, --rpd (talk) 17:09, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

It may be possible to get your old account back, but this would require a bit of work. If it's not that important, the simplest thing would just be to post a link from this account, i.e. on your current user page:

Previously editing as User:R.P.D.

and maybe on this talk page:

Previous talk page, see User talk:R.P.D.

The content of your old account can be copied to your new account if it's important. I can do the coding for you, if you let me know what you want. You could open an account with a closer name to the original, such as User:R.P.D.2 or User:R.P.D. II, as User:Giano did in similar circumstances with User:Giano II, redirecting his user pages; see see User:Giano. Tyrenius (talk) 18:17, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

  • I see you have fixed the necessary links. Thank you again, --rpd (talk) 00:18, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Post-Impressionism

I've responded to your comments at Talk:Post-Impressionism. - Modernist (talk) 13:09, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Van Gogh Ivy

The image for Ivy has gone on Ivy, two paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Vincent van Gogh's display at Les XX, 1890. I want to replace it, but can't find an image. I'm confused as to which painting is referred to. vggallery.com lists:

Tree Trunks with Ivy July, 1889 Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum 746 1762
Undergrowth with Ivy July, 1889 Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum 745 1764
Tree Trunks with Ivy Summer, 1889 Otterlo, Kröller-Müller Museum 747 1763

Van Gogh: The Complete Paintings (Taschen) doesn't list Ivy. I wonder if you could clarify. Tyrenius (talk) 20:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

  • The Ivy in question is F 609, lost since WW II and formerly in the Rothschild Collection, Paris. No reproduction in colour known! --rpd (talk) 20:28, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
There's a contradiction in titles then, as you linked to A Corner in the Garden of Saint-Paul Hospital, yet the wiki articles don't mention this title, only Ivy. This needs to be clarified. Tyrenius (talk) 20:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. Tyrenius (talk) 21:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

A bit more confusion on Vincent van Gogh's display at Les XX, 1890. The painting described as "838. Underwoods. Present whereabouts unknown." was also linked to the Ivy image. Is this correct or is it a different work? Also, please check image on Ivy, two paintings by Vincent van Gogh. Is this correct? If so, which painting should be put in the info box? Tyrenius (talk) 22:14, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

  • It's okay. Evidently Theo did not consult the catalogue of Les XX, when he supplied the titles for the Independants. Thanks for the fix of the image! --rpd (talk) 22:24, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome back!

Very glad to see you editing again ... looking forward to collaborating with you on some articles. Stumps (talk) 00:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Thank you for this line. You and Tyrenius encouraged me so much, now I shall try to meet your expectations. Hope to see more of you soon.--rpd (talk) 23:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eugène Boch prod

Done. Sorry, its my mistake too! Eugène Boch and Van Gogh are two different people! Ohmpandya (Talk) 23:14, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

WikiThanks

Thanks to you, accompanied by Van Gogh's favorite flower --rpd (talk) 23:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template

Click on Template:Post-Impressionism to open a new page edit box for it. Go to Template:Fauvism, click on "edit", copy and paste the contents into the Post-Impressionism edit box, and modify contents to suit. Let me know if there's still a problem. Tyrenius (talk) 23:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Paris Bourse crash

I've just started to look again at the article on Emile Schuffenecker, and notice a reference to a crash on the bourse in 1880. Do you know if this is the correct date? I have found a some information about a crash in Febuary or March of 1882 (following le krach de l' Union Générale). Stumps (talk) 03:21, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

  • You're right, yet Gauguin's problem was not the krach of the Union Générale, but the trouble arising around the Panama canal project. I shall try to find the background information. --rpd (talk) 15:17, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Post-Impressionism

I added my response. Thank you, - Modernist (talk) 15:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

While I appreciate your concern, I'd prefer if you wouldn't add notes to my talk page as you left today. I was engaged in dialogue with that editor and he wrote that to me in haste. No harm done, but I'd ask you not to repeat your inclusion. If you haven't seen my response to your inquiry it is on Talk:Post Impressionism. I can repeat it here in the future if you would prefer. The more time I spend reading that article the more I realize how truly lacking the text is and how poorly it has been written. Why - may I ask did you add this sentence and tag? - "In the years 1918-1933, people united in Europe to dance on a vulcan.[citation needed]"? What does that have to do with Post Impressionism? Thank you..

Modernist (talk) 01:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, it was not my intention to cause trouble. I simply realised that a recent message was gone, and thought you might miss it. - Normally, I agree, discussion has its place in the talk space of the article, and not in the user talk space. So please, pardon me, and please keep in mind that I am no native speaker, well aware that my English is not the best.--84.72.95.215 (talk) 13:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC)--rpd (talk) 13:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
No harm done, its OK. Modernist (talk) 14:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gallery

With due respect - this was your last edit before I changed the gallery. - [1], on my computer the gallery ran clear into the Signac. I changed the gallery, added a section, and now I'll return the gallery to normal....because I think it'll be ok now.....you're welcome. Modernist (talk) 22:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I see you have again forced a specific size for gallery. This may work well on your desktop, but definitely not on all. Therefore, please reconsider that a default setting may allow a better effect on the screens of other collaborators. All the best, --rpd (talk) 22:22, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

the gallery was altered because of your erroneous edits. I've changed it back now thanks to my changes. Perhaps you should be more careful in the future. Modernist (talk) 22:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Why the hell are you fighting over such a trivial change? The standard is just leaving it up to the browser to render the gallery as appropiated. (And even if it wasn't, there are better things to argue about) --Enric Naval (talk) 15:14, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
(And you ought to see how it looks on 800x600, Windows 98, Internet Explorer 5, which I am using currently. It will always look bad on some or other configuration.) --Enric Naval (talk) 17:22, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
