thread_title:  reads like a promo 

message: The references refer to bibliography rather than to citations being in the text. Hope the inline tag will be enough, otherwise please choose a better one to show what the problem is. Also the bibliography is way out of proportion to the article but can't change this while the refs are attached to that and not in the article itself. Manytexts (talk) 03:15, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  cites miscarry & bibliography problem 

message: Dear Editors, I understand about conflict of interest. I won't make the edits myself but I would like to propose a change to the introductory paragraph on Francesco Clemente. The proposed version below is more focused on Artist's practice. 
Francesco Clemente (born March 23, 1952)  is a contemporary artist known for figural paintings that investigate philosophical questions of the self and consciousness. Clemente’s work defies expectations of style and linear narrative, and it embraces diverse mediums including oil on canvas, pastel, and watercolor. Clemente’s work is symbolic but resists iconographic readings in its evocation of the body, the emotions of union and love, and spiritual and mythological symbols. 
While Clemente’s work is deeply rooted in specific geographies, the artist has embraced a nomadic approach since early in his career. For a generation before it was considered common practice, he has called multiple places home simultaneously -- especially Rome, New York, and cities in India including Madras, Varanasi, and Jodhpur.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annazorina (talk • contribs) 14:25, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for using the talk-page to make this request, , that makes things much easier. There are two problems with the text you propose (which seems to be the same text that's already been removed from the page two or three times): first, it's not supported by any independent reliable sources (follow the blue link to read about what we mean by that); and secondly, it is not written in anything like the plain, formal, impersonal, and dispassionate tone we consider suitable for an encyclopaedia. To give you an idea of what I mean, may I suggest that you look at some pages on other artists? Pretty much at random, I've glanced at Kasimir Malevich, Francis Bacon and Howard Hodgkin, and while none is perfect, they might give you a taste of the sort of tone that's considered appropriate in this project. I'll put some advice on how to place an edit request below this. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:43, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit request 

message: More than one major contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting  (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted. 
Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation."

thread_title:  Conflict of interest 

message: Hi,
First, I would like to declare my COI with this subject: I work for an Arts gallery that will be hosting this artist. I have worked on more detailed chronology of Clemente's work, which I've gathered through several books and other online sources (not the artist directly). I would like to include some of this in this article. Please let me know if this would be ok? 
I need to polish it up still, and add references properly, but before I invest time in this, I wanted to get approval first that this would be something that could be considered for this article. 
Here is my proposed contribution:
Rome and India, 1970s
Throughout the 1970s, Clemente worked mainly with photography and on paper, producing several hundred small ink drawings and pastels. These depict a variety of images, including humans, animals, and objects in a state of transformation. 
Undae clemente flamina pulsae (1978)
In the late 1970s, Clemente produced installations that combined drawings and objects. Undae Clemente Flamina Pulsae, now in the collection of the Groeninger Museum (Netherlands), incorporated color photographs of Indian kitsch sculpture, paintings on sheets of metal, and color photographs. The work was commemorated in a small book printed at Kalakshetra Press in Madras (now Chennai), India and published by the gallery Art&Project in Amsterdam.
Billboard-inspired Paintings, 1980s
From the late 1970s through the 1980s, Clemente mostly worked in India at the Theosophical Society compound (in Madras). During this time Clemente developed several large-scale works by joining individual sheets of local handmade paper with handwoven cotton strips. Prominent works in this series include “Sun” (1980, Philadelphia Museum of Art), “Hunger” (1980, Philadelphia Museum of Art), “Moon” (1980, Museum of Modern Art), and “The Four Corners” (1985, Private Collection).
Francesco Clemente Pinxit (1980-81)
Pinxit is a series of 24 Mughal-style miniatures produced on two-hundred-year-old paper that forms part of the collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Clemente undertook this work in Jaipur, India. Clemente developed sketches that included trees-like patterns, architecture, and geometric shapes.
That's it for now. As mentioned, I will source this properly once I get some kind of feedback saying this could be allowed in the article. Thank you for letting me know. CroatianNeptune (talk) 12:23, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
