Hello, Romanians! I'm after WP:N-good sources for LINDA SASKIA MENCZEL, would like to make an article about her if possible. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:56, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ping to @Nenea hartia, who helped me once before. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:05, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Gråbergs Gråa Sång: Unfortunately I can't find much about her in the Romanian press. There are many references to her actually, but generally they are announcements of her exhibitions, most of them published in the local press of Timișoara. I have a subscription to this big Hungarian and Romanian newspaper archive and I searched there too but found only the same kind of articles in the same kind of newspapers (Renașterea Bănățeană from Timișoara). See for example here (the link is valid for 6 days). However, I also found a potentially useful source: her profile published on the webpage of the Timiș County Council. Recently someone also created an article about her on ro.wiki, but it's mostly her about her, so not very useful. I am sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. --Nenea hartia (talk) 16:24, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Nenea hartia, thanks, I owe you! Yeah, that WP-article wasn't there when I looked yesterday, though I found her name at [1]. It seems to have the usual COI-beginner problems, pictures included. I learned of her name at Wikipedia:Teahouse#Posting/Pasting_from_a_google_docs_file.
- Thanks for the pdf:s, I grabbed them. On the uapt.cjtimis.ro link, I got the impression it's a website by an organization she's a member of (Uniunea Artiştilor Plastici din România)? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

- @Gråbergs Gråa Sång: yes, I think you are right. 'cjtimis.ro' is definitely the website of the Timiș County Council, but that link is weird. The official website of the Timișoara chapter of Uniunea Artiștilor Plastici din România seems to be this one, so I really don't know what to say. They seem to have two websites, one probably hosted by the County Council... On the other hand, if you think that the pdfs can be useful, I have added the complete newspapers in the same link. --Nenea hartia (talk) 17:30, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks again. I haven't tried to read the pdf-articles yet, but the text is copypaste-able, so I should get the gist with google translate. I managed to make an article on a Slovenian, Christoph Steidl Porenta, so this seemed like an interesting task. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Nenea hartia, this [2] should count as independent RS coverage, don't you think? There may be useful commentary about her in there. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:09, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång: That is a nice find! TVR (Romanian Television) should indeed count as an independent RS source. I'll reproduce the dialogue below and I hope you don't mind that it's in Romanian, but it's hard for me to translate it, because the two ladies use very artistic and complicated words. But a decent translation tool like Google Translate should give you an idea:
Quote: "Eu nu sunt artist. Eu sunt."
Linda Saskia Menczel: "Aș vrea să fiu o ființă liberă. Încă nu sunt. Nu trăiesc pentru artă. Este doar un mod în care sper că pot să ajut. Cred că am vocație de om, și asta e cea mai dificilă meserie de pe Terra."
Anonymous TV host: "Am pătruns în universul încărcat de liniște, frumos și iubire al Lindei Saskia Menczel. Este o apariție interesantă, un artist plastic deosebit, plin de dragoste pentru om și pentru spirit. Născută la 23 martie 1972, în Timișoara, într-o mixtură de culturi, Linda Saskia Menczel este o artistă care a trăit o viață plină de fabulos, de aventură, de inedit, cu tristeți adânci, dar și împliniri."
Linda Saskia Menczel: "Relația mea cu timpul este aproape inexistentă, în sensul că nu îi simt trecerea la justa lui valoare, niciodată nu îmi dau seama cât ar fi ceasul, în ce an suntem, mi-am și uitat ziua de naștere din când în când. Consider că timpul, cum zice Einstein, într-adevăr se dilată sau se comprimă, în funcție de trăirile noastre, și el poate să fie un ajutor, o unealtă pe care s-o folosim ca să învățăm mai mult pe lumea asta, dar să trăiești contracronometru nu este alegerea mea.
Nici cu spațiul n-am o relație foarte bună, cu toate că, fiind sculptor, ar trebui să-l simt mai bine decât îl simt. Locurile pe unde am fost eu pe lumea asta nu mi-au oferit niciodată sentimentul de casă și mi-au plăcut întotdeauna mai mult spațiile largi, fără garduri, vârfuri de munte și păduri."
Quote: "Singurul artist profesionist este Dumnezeu" (Rafail Noica)
Anonymous TV host: "Lucrările ei sunt pline, sunt clare, limpezi, sincere, precum vorbele cumpătate. Ea crede că, dacă gândirea noastră devine limpede și inspirată, actul creator devine o revărsare a sinelui și, deci, a frumosului, a constructivului. Noi, cei care ne numim artiști, devenim părinți, iar în inima noastră lumea se poate odihni. Trilogia "Drumul cunoașterii" este numele primelor sale expoziții personale, cu titlurile "Inițiere", "Templu" și "Taină". Calea cunoașterii este povestea omului care vrea să se dezvolte întru sine, întru potențialul său real. În inițiere, cel ce caută alege unul din drumurile pe care le vede, având sufletul deschis și plin de idealism. Apoi descoperă templul din lăuntrul său, care se aseamănă cu întreg universul. Apoi secretul, acceptarea de sine și continuarea pe calea cunoașterii."

- Excellent! I'll take a closer look at this tomorrow. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 22:12, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Well, putting these 3 together, I'm not confident an article would be afd-safe enough. I'd like to see 1 or 2 more good ones. Maybe something will pop up. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:28, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
