Feedback Dashboard update

Hello, Theopolisme. New feedback should slow down and then stop in the next couple of days – the researchers temporarily turned off the MoodBar for people registering right now, in order to get a control sample for their test – so you'll have time to catch up. It will be turned on again on the 29th. I just hope you don't get too bored next week without feedback! Maybe visit the Teahouse?

Cheers,

More Questions

Hello, Theo.

I think that I am making some progress with the article on Rudy Buttignol. Today I made many mistakes but learned from them.

I really appreciate the sign at the top of Rudy Buttignol stating that it is under construction/revision. That is truly what is happening and I need time to work on it. I hope that it can stay on for another week or so. Can you do that?

I have 2 main questions at this point, if you wouldn't mind helping me:

(1) I can't find the sequencing for a newspaper reference. Is this correct?:

e.g. Steel, Judy (May 21, 1982). "The big shakers at the corp". Globe & Mail, P. 10.

I am used to APA format where every period and comma and space matters.

Somewhere I say that the publication name needs to go first and started to change everything but then stopped to ask you.

(2) I have some newspaper references that I have marked with

They also can be found as an http so I have used ... with those right after the ref so that readers can just click into the article and read it on the spot. Is this correct?

Many thanks,

Sofiabrampton

Sofiabrampton (talk) 01:33, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

As always, thanks for asking! In reply... 1) When referencing 'anything' on Wikipedia, it is VERY helpful to use the templates listed here. For example, {{cite news}} seems to be what you're looking for. This way, you just use the template, enter the correct parameters where they belong (ex. author, page, etc), and then the template will automatically generate the reference in the correct format. In reply to 2).... just use the format I gave above, as it will have a space for you to input a url and will automatically generate a link. Let me know if this doesn't make sense! :) Theopolisme _TALK 14:26, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Anthroponymy

Would you please take a look at my comments at User talk:D'oh2 and User talk:INeverCry60? You seem to know about the subject and I'm finding these new accounts (evidently from their first edits not new users) are making edits that I find confusing - linking to articles not about surnames, not providing reliable sources, etc. I see no reason for surname articles not to be sourced as well as any other articles, although INeverCry60 thinks differently given his edit summary " relationship is clear, obvious, no need to explain". Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 08:09, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

I agree with you - everything deserves reliable sources. I took a look at their edits, your messages to them, etc, and you seem to be saying all the same things I would. What would you like me to do? Theopolisme _TALK 14:26, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Nothing to be done, blocked as socks, see Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Sheynhertz-Unbayg. Looks I was right to be concerned. Thanks for the response. Dougweller (talk) 15:49, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Rollback

Hi! We now have an instructor who is also a sysop, so now we just ask ItsZippy on his talk page to grant the user rollback.Electriccatfish2 (talk) 00:06, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Ooh, sneaky! Alright. I completely forgot that fact. :) Thanks for letting me know, Electric! Theopolisme _TALK 00:09, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

RE: Rollback from TruPepitoM

Thanks for the message; I'll take a look at the user's contributions now. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 17:25, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Right, I've had a look. I am impressed, but I'm not quite ready to give rollback in this instance. I notice that, apart from a few earlier this week, TruPepitoM has not reverted any vandalism since the beginning of this month; thus, while I am sure he has learned in this period, I have to go on that evidence. Here, he reverted vandalism to a version of the page which was itself vandalised (perhaps an opportunity for a lesson here). Additionally, I found three [1] examples of good faith edits marked as vandalism. This isn't a serious problem; I am sure that TruPepitoM will be ready for rollback soon. My advise would be to briefly look over those examples with him, and then give him a week or two to get as much experience as possible with vandalism patrolling. Come back to me after about a week and 50 good vandalism reverts from him, and I'll have another look. Hope that's ok. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 17:44, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh my gosh.. Sorry about that. I thought I was being all productive by making the message for you and everything ahead of time.. But oops! I did NOT mean to send that to you yet...yea, TruPepitoM is actually inactive right now as well. Again, sorry for wasting your time on this. Will double check that I send it only when I mean to send it next time. (blush)Theopolisme _TALK 17:52, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Confused about deleting my edit and vandalism warning

Hello Theopolisme,

I'm not clear on what it is that you consider vandalism. Would you be so kind as to explain?

Thank you,

NewtonGeek — Preceding unsigned comment added byNewtonGeek (talk • contribs) 14:29, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey, NewtonGeek - sorry! It was a mistake, and if you saw, I promptly reverted my edits. Thanks for reaching out!Theopolisme _TALK 14:34, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Theopolisme,

Thanks for correcting your mistake. Thanks for your apology. I'd still like to know what caused you to make such a mistake. What led you to that page and my edit? What caused you to change your mind?

Thanks,

NewtonGeek NewtonGeek (talk) 14:40, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey, sure. You're welcome! :) /// I use a program called STiki to find vandalism on Wikipedia. The program actually tagged your edit as vandalism (presumably because it didn't realize that you were adding signatures to a talk page- it rather thought that you were signing in the main article space, which is a definite no-no) and I, not seeing the title of the page and only seeing long blocks of text interrupted by a sudden user signature, reverted without thinking (I've been on a Wiki-craze for the past several hours) - a few seconds later though, I suddenly thought to myself... wait a second, 'what'did I revert?! I went back to my contributions log, saw my error, and presto-chango, reverted back to your not-at-all vandalistic edit. Are you at all interested in counter vandal work? Theopolisme _TALK 14:52, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't know anything about counter-vandalism work. I don't have much time for Wikipedia volunteering. If you are interested, I'd be willing to listen about the work and think over if it's something I'd enjoy or be good at.

Thanks for your normal explanation of how that transpired. That was helpful. NewtonGeek (talk) 15:01, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Always glad to take a break and talk! If you're interested - and I'll admit I have a slight conflict of interest as I am an instructor and deputy coordinator over there - take a look at the Counter Vandalism Unit Academy! I'd be happy to be your instructor if that's something you're interested in. Just let me know. Theopolisme _TALK 15:07, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, this is on my watchlist. I have thirteen pages on it. I'm not sure if there's some way of me checking what that list is. I'll ask somewhere when I have time.

Yours is not a bad conflict of interests to have and you're honest about it. I may look over that link sometime when I have time. Thanks for the information and the invitation. NewtonGeek (talk) 15:15, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Guys,

Excuse my butting in to the conversation with two random, probably irrelevant, points:

• The edit that started this was actually done with WP:GLOO not WP:STiki. STiki only looks in article space... maybe that is related to the confusion.
• NewtonGeek, to go to Special:Watchlist you just click on "my watchlist" in the top-right corner. While there, you can click on "view and edit watchlist" to see a list of the articles listed... if that isn't a weird way to put it.

Bio Wikipage for Cindy Nemser

Hi There Theoplisme,

Here is my bio to help you out. Please email me at [redacted] if you need any more help or information. I'm quite new to Wikipedia so please bear with.

Thank you so much for your help.

Kind regards,

Cindy Nemser

I am an art historian and critic. I received an M.A. from the Institute of Fine Arts in 1966, did an internship at the Museum of Modern Art and became a respected art critic writing for Artforum, Art in America, Arts Magazine (I was a contributing editor to Arts from 1972-75), the Art Journal, Art Education, and Studio International. I have also been published in The New York Times, The Village Voice, Ms, Newsday, Opera Monthly, and many other art, feminist, and general and publications. I was the first to write about and interview Chuck Close, Eva Hesse, Vito Acconci and many others and I received an Art Critic’s Fellowship award from the National Endowment on the Arts in 1974 and I was a member of the American division of the International Association of Art Critics. I am also a member of PEN American, The American Society of Journalists and Authors, Drama Desk and Outer Critics. I have lectured and held seminars on the art of both men and women all over the country and also appeared on the radio and on television in cities all over America.

In 1970, I attended a meeting of the organization called W.A.R. (Women Artists in Revolution) who were debating whether to have an all women artists exhibition, which they would call X12: X, because there were twelve women artists in it. Some were fearful they would be stigmatized by showing with only women, but they decided to go ahead despite their reservations. (I reviewed this now legendary show for Arts Magazine.) I also and became a dedicated advocate for women in the arts.

I wrote one of the first articles about women artists entitled “Forum: Women in Art” which was published in Arts Magazine, in February, 1971 and later published a painstakingly researched article about how art historians and critics in the 19th and 20th century had written women out of art history by ignoring or disparaging them. The piece was called “Stereotypes and Women Artists” and I put it in the in the first issue of the Feminist Art Journal, in April 1972. The article was later published by Journal of Aesthetic Education under the title, “Art Criticism and Women Artists,” vol.7.no.3, July, 197, and then included in Judith Loeb’s anthology Feminist Collage, Teacher’s College, Columbia University, New York, 1979. I felt my research had proven that there were great women artists such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Leyster, Elisabeth Vigée LeBrun, Rosa Bonheur, Angelica Kaufmann and so forth. When Linda and Ann Sutherland Harris did their exhibition “Women Artists: 1550—1950, in 1976, I felt I had been vindicated. I also felt allied with Linda Nochlin and Ann Sutherland Harris because we were fighting for the same cause.

I published/edited The Feminist Art Journal from 1972-77, on a shoestring, right from the basement of my house at 41 Montgomery Place, in Park Slope where I have lived for forty years. The magazine, a 50 page quarterly was first presented as a newspaper and then revamped into a slick two color magazine. I published historical articles, exposés, interviews, art profiles, book and art gallery reviews. The Feminist Art Journal was the first to promote the little known “Women of Surrealism” in an article by Gloria Orenstein. She also wrote the first piece on Frida Kahlo who, at that time, was only known in the United States as the wife of Diego Rivera. There were other pieces on Natalia Goncharova, Paul Modersohn-Becker and a multitude of other heretofore passed over women artists of quality. The F.A.J. also published Patricia Mainardi’s now famous piece “Quilts the Great American Art “ We covered women in all the arts, but the main emphasis was on the visual.

The Feminist Art Journal reached a circulation of 8,000 and had subscribers both in America and in countries all over the world. Many public and college libraries were subscribers. Though the magazine was strictly a labor of love, I paid everyone on our staff and all our contributors. I knew that women were always being called upon to do volunteer work and I vowed the F.A.J. would not perpetuate that unfair practice. My husband, who was the managing editor, and I took only enough salary to cover our business expenses. The production of the magazine was paid for with the money that came from bookstore sales and subscriptions.

I was there exactly during the period that feminism in the arts the art s was coming into being, and I covered and participated in all the major events: the confrontation with the director Duncan Cameron at the Brooklyn Museum when women demanded more representation, the picketing of Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney, the opening of the Women’s Inter Art Center, the Conference of Women in the Visual Arts at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington D.C., April, 1972, in which I participated and which I wrote up for Art in America. I also was a founding member of Women in the Arts, in 1971 whose members also consisted of Elaine DeKooning, Louise Burgeois, Ce Roser, Sylvia Sleigh and many other now well-known artists. The organization convinced Mario Amaya, the then director of the New York Cultural Center, to put on the first major museum women artists museum called “Women Choose Women.”

Patricia Sloane and I also organized the first three sessions on women artists for the studio artists division of the College Art Association February, 1973, with panels that included Louise Nevelson, Lee Krasner, Audrey Flack, Marcia Tucker and many other artists, dealers and museum women. Many years later, in 1996, I chaired a panel at the C.A.A. called “Learning from the 70’s” Among the participants were Lila Katzen, Janet Fish, Eleanor Antin, and Howardena Pindell.

I published Art Talk: Conversations with 12 Women Artists, Scribner, 1975. It was the first book to be written about women artists since the 1930’s. HarperCollins reprinted it in 1995, in paperback as Art Talk: Conversations with 15 women. The three added interviews were also done in the 70’s. It was translated into Chinese and published in Taiwan in 1998 and today it is considered a classic.

The book contains interviews with Eva Hesse, Barbara Hepworth, Lee Krasner, Marisol, Alice Neel, Louise Nevelson, Betye Saar, Isabel Bishop and many other acclaimed women artists. Every artist in the book was originally interviewed on tape and so I own the only existing tape with Eva Hesse who tragically died only a few months after I recorded her. If you listen to the audio guide at the Jewish Museum, Eva’s voice comes directly from my tape. When Art Talk I was reprinted, I organized several panels at Barnes and Noble, on 6th Ave and 20th Street, and invited some of the artists in the book to come and have their say about their experience as women artists. The panelists were Lila Katzen, Audrey Flack, Grace Hartigan and Janet Fish. I also did a series of events at that Barnes and Noble, which included Carolee Schneeman, Howardena Pindell and the photographer Jill Clements. I have also published two other books, a novel, Eve’s Delight, Pinnacle Books, New York, 1982, and a monograph on the astonishingly gifted optical artist Ben Cunningham entitled A Life With Color, JPL Art Publishers, Texas, 1989. I also wrote about women in the arts and other subjects for Ms, Newssday, Arts and Entertainment, Arts Magazine, Theater Weekly, Opera Monthly, the Dramatists Guild Quarterly, City Search and many other magazines and newspapers during the 1980’s and 90’s.

In the 1970’s I also did a great deal of lecturing around the country on Art Talk, contemporary Trends in Women’s Art, Stereotypes and Women Artists and other topics pertaining to feminist art activities, in schools such as Yale, University of Southern California, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, The University of Iowa, Pratt Institute, University of Wisconsin at Madison, Rhode Island School of Design, and such institutions as the Berkley Museum, the Smithsonian, the Brooklyn Museum, the Women’s Building and a book signing at the Sisterhood bookstore, and too many more to mention. I also did participated on panels at Oberlin, Air Gallery, the Viridian Gallery, Tyler School of Art, Temple University in Philadelphia, among others and did seminars at the women artists cooperative galleries such as AIR, Artemisia, and Arc in Chicago, Women’s Art Registry of Minnesota, W.A.R.M. in Minneapolis and other women’s cooperatives. I gave a slide talk and book signing at the Feminist Studio Workshop in the Women’s Building in Los Angeles in 1975. In 1977, I deeply honored to be invited to give the commencement speech at the Minneapolis School of Art and Design.

During the 1990’s I became a theater and cultural critic. I wrote for the entertainment section of the e New York Law Journal, Citysearch, Art and Entertainment (for whom I had the honor to interview Marilyn Horne) Opera Monthly and American Theatre, Dance Pages, among many other publications. I also printed a piece on the plight of women playwrights for the Dramists Guild Quarterly. My daughter Catherine Nemser and I wrote several plays, one of which “Mom’s the Word” got us into the semi-finals of the prestigious Anna Weissberger Foundation and New Dramatists L. Arnold Weissberger Playwriting Competition. Helen Butleroff, the producer of “That’s Life,” and “Pets,” also included us in her musical review “Mamas” that played at Theater in the Park in Queens. Our contribution was a monologue about the guilt experienced by a mother who is torn between being at work and being with her child.

At this time I am guest curating an exhibition called “Women’s Work: Homage to Feminist Art,” at the Tabla Rasa at 224 48th Street in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn. Tabla Rasa, which is owned by Audrey and Joseph Anastasi, both gifted artists and ardent feminists. It is a highly professional commercial gallery, showing serious art and with its white walls and highly polished wooden floors it is similar in design to most Manhattan galleries.

Cindy Nemesr

The exhibition will include approximately 25 artists. Each artist will be represented by one work: either a painting, sculpture, drawing or mixed media work. The theme refers to feminist concerns, but I am not insisting that the work be overtly political. For me a woman doing her art, whether it is political or not, is a feminist action.

Among the women included in the show are Eleanor Antin, Hannah Wilke, Lila Katzen, Audrey Flack, Howardena Pindell, Dotty Attie, Sylvia Sleigh Mary Grigoriadis, and Judith Bernstein, Deborah Remington, Lil Picard, Alice Neel, Hannah Wilke, Nancy Grossman and other artists who have come into their own at this time, but some of whom have still not been significantly recognized for the gigantic influence they have had on art all over the world. To give the exhibit a richer overlay of meaning, I am also inviting some comparatively younger women such as Sue Coe, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, Audrey Anastasi, Orly Cogan, and Rosa Loy, among others. These are women who I think have either been influenced or inspired by the Veteran Feminist Artists of the 60’s and 70’s.

I am not a novice in curating. In 1974, I helped to organize a women’s art festival in Philadelphia called “Philadelphia Focuses on Women in the Arts.” The whole city participated with art shows, panels, film festivals and readings. We had a major invitational exhibit called “Women’s Work” at the Philadelphia Civic Center. The curators of the show were Marcia Tucker, Adelyn Breeskin, Anne d’ Harnancourt, Lila Katzen and myself. I also did a show entitled “In Her Own Image” at the Fleisher Memorial Gallery, which is part of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Each woman artist presented an image of a woman. Lee Krasner, Louise Nevelson, Käthe Kollowitz, Eleanor Antin, Faith Ringgold, Elaine De Kooning, Nancy Grossman, Isabel Bishop and Alice Neel were among the 45 participants The show was a great success and was written about in the New York Times the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Evening News and in many art magazines and journals.

Though I have the last word as curator of “Women’s Work,” I value the input from both of the Anastasis and, of course, from my husband Chuck Nemser who was the unsung managing editor of the Feminist Art Journal from its inception. In fact, I think the happy collaboration that we have formed with Audrey and Joseph is a paradigm of what Betty Friedan meant by the next step that the women’s movement needed to needed to make the women ‘s movement bring about amazing world change. It is an answer to her call for women and men to finally work as equal partners so that eventually there would be no need for women to segregate themselves to get their achievements seen and appreciated. Though I am a totally committed advocate of women’s right to equality, to me feminism is the gateway to humanism, to a place where every race and religion as well as both genders will be evaluated strictly on their merit and prejudice will finally be abolished.

I have also spoken with Moira Reilly who would like to do some archival projects with me after she has finished working on the Gobal Feminism exhibition. I am also in touch with Connie Butler, the former director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, who curated the “WACK!
