[edit] Expanding the Stub

As a fan of Honegger-Lavater, I was disappointed at the size of the existing entry. It was also only listed under "Warja Lavater" when the currently accepted version of the name (according to Library of Congress) is "Warja Honegger-Lavater" (i.e., that's how you'll find her books in most English language Library Catalogs adhering to LC authority headings.

Anyway, it's time to make a better article on this wonderful artist (and "wonderful" will not impinge NPOV for this entry). -- Quartermaster 17:08, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An Improper Move?

I may have screwed up by not moving this page as the wiki editing documentation suggested. I'm still a noob. So, I might have broken any edit history, however, I don't think this is that critical since the original (should still be in the history of this page) was so sparse. Sorry. -- Quartermaster 18:06, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Works (previously Bibliography)

This is the weakest, and maybe easiest area in which to expand. Be careful about the ambiguous editions and changing surname. Anyway, if you want to chime in with entries in the bibliography, let's go! -- Quartermaster 18:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok folks, I've made an "author search" link to OCLC's WorldCat so if y'all want to beef up the bibliography (now called "Works"), feel free to use that link to find more works to add. I changed this section from "Bibliography" to "Works" to reflect her efforts which extend beyond mere "books." --Quartermaster 15:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Looking for useable Lavater art

There are a few places where photographs of her lithograph based fan-fold books can be found (do a google for "lavater" and you'll get some) but I need to find something that can be inserted in this article. Help! --Quartermaster 21:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ubs diversity1.gif

Image:Ubs diversity1.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Just noting that this was done. Follow the links! -Quartermaster (talk) 21:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clearing up marital status

According to the German wikipedia entry she became separated(?) from her husband in 1973. Also, at http://www.galerielinder.ch/html/honegger.htm the (German language) article on Gottfried says "1990 gründete er mit seiner Lebensgefährtin Sybil Albers-Barrier den Espace de l'Art Concret im Schloss von Mouans-Sartoux." A translation of this indicates Gottfried was married by 1990 to Sybil Albers-Barrier. Some minor things, but striving for accuracy. That's why I struck the earlier version's mention of residing with her husband outside of Zurich at the time of her death. - Quartermaster (talk) 21:18, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
