Prometheus (Orozco) ↗

Hi Seauton! Since you created The Spirit of Spanish Music ↗, I thought you might be interested to know that I created an article for another public art object on Pomona College ↗'s campus, Prometheus (Orozco) ↗. Feel free to help me expand it if you're inclined! Cheers, <span style="color:#AAA"><small>{{u|</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088"><span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span></span><small>}}</small></span> <sup>'''talk'''</sup> 08:32, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Greetings. I think your article about Orozco's Prometheus is fine. It covers several significant points, including its location, its original commission, public reaction at the time, and contemporary 'criticism' of the work. (The fact that Wikipedia marks it as a
'stub' is apparenly only based on word-count. The content is good, I think.) The only suggestion I might have is a bit more comment on the legend of Prometheus, maybe some
analysis of the position and obvious physical tension of the central figure, and perhaps some comment on the various images around the figure of Prometheus himself. (I regret that I wouldn't know how to advise you more on these things, as I am a long way from being an art historian or qualified critic myself.) One thing that struck me - probably not an item for the article, but just an interesting sidelight - the piece is in a dining hall. Da Vinci's Last Supper (also a fresco) also was placed in a dining hall, the Refectory of the convent at Santa Maria Delle Grazie in Milano. I doubt this means anything, it's just interesting (to me). Thanks for sharing thie new page with me. Long Live Pomona College, eh?

Re: please help me understand your reversion of my edits

I have found several instances where you reverted my edits - one in a Jose van Dam article (recent death), another labelled Hogwood - and I don't understand why your reversions were made. My main problem is that, as a continually inexperienced editor/contributor, I don't know enough about the process of reverting an edit to be able to follow up and find out 'why' a reversion was made. The best I can come up with regarding your reversion of my addition of wikilinks for Bizet and Messiaen in the article on Jose van Dam is the phrase, 'per project opera'. Even after reading about Wiki's Project Opera, I don't have any idea what this means. Another mystery is a comment on your Talk page titled, "Hogwood" in which you ask for more information about my edit (?). I know very well who Christopher Hogwood was - I worked with him when he conducted a concert in my city in the early 1980s - but I don't remember contributing any edits to any page concerning him; furthermore, I can't find any reference to the reason you made the comment on your talk page dated 22 February 2025 Bottom line: I don't know how to follow up when you (or anyone) reverts edits that I don't think should be reverted, because I can't find your reasons for doing the revert. Please help me understand. Seauton (talk) 21:04, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
: Seauton, you left the above message on top of my user page, I moved it to the bottom, and replied that I would reply here. I am sorry: when I have little time, I don't check if the user I revert is experienced. If I see that a user has been here for several years, I assume they ''are'' experienced. Things I tend to revert are:
:* infobox (type) musical artist, because project opera prefers infobox (type) person, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera/Archive 132 ↗
:* links to composers when their piece/opera has an article, per WP:OVERLINK ↗
:* links to current countries and their capitals, per same
:* the word "Death" in headers about personal life, because death is part of life.
: Perhaps that covers your questions already. If not, please say specifically what I reverted, and we can speak about it. I see above that I came here because of Hogwood, a year ago. I am sorry, I don't remember, - I don't even remember what I reverted yesterday ;) - I had a long travel day, and am too tired to investigate what happened back then. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:31, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
::I am not interested in your excuses and apologies. I want to know why you reverted my addition of wikilinks for Bizet and Messiaen on the Jose van Dam page on 22 February 2026. I explained this in my original question in this thread. If you prefer to answer in your native language, that is fine with me.
::Seauton (talk) 20:23, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
::: We talk about the biography of a singer, not about an opera. We want to say that he performed the role of Escamillo. Readers will not know, so we say in ''Carmen ↗''. Some readers will not know, so we say Bizet's ''Carmen ↗''. That is additional information as a service. The biography of Bizet helps not at all to understand the article of the singer. Whoever - at this point of reading - is interested in Bizet's biography, can be sure to find it in the opera's article. All this is standard for project opera, - thus my brief edit summary. It's also covered by WP:OVERLINK ↗: when we link a town, we don't have to link the state also. When we have an opera house, we don't need to link the town it's in also, - in other words: link only to the most specific information. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:07, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
::: I am a bit curious what in the shorter version -"links to composers when their piece/opera has an article, per WP:OVERLINK ↗" - above was unclear? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:09, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
