message: The Portrait page is cluttered and disorganised.  Portrait painting seems to be much better in both aspects, and I can't see a real reason for the separation of the two pages.  I propose merging Portrait painting into this, a more general page on portraits.

text: I think it would have been more clear to have different discussion pages. Portraiture is merely the process of creating a Portrait.  Portrait Painting is one of several processes.  SteveHopson 02:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with Portrait painting 

message: Hello.  I am a writer for the Smithsonian's Center for Education, which publishes _Smithsonian in Your Classroom_, a magazine for teachers. An online version of a recent issue titled "Portraits, Visual and Written" is available for free download at this address:
http://www.smithsonianeducation.org/educators/lesson_plans/portraits/index.html
Mark Twain and Louisa May Alcott are the focus of this issue. Students compare National Portrait Gallery images and postage stamp portraits of the authors with written self-portraits. 
If you think the Wikipedia audience would find this valuable, I wish to invite you to include it as an external link. We would be most grateful.

thread_title:  Add Smithsonian Education link? 

message: Certain sections are word for word copies of a similar Encarta article.I haven't had time to go through and check exactly which sections are identical, but I know the Baroque/Rococo section is. I would suggest that this be cleaned up and re-written. That, or Encarta should be contacted over a possible copyright infringment. I would also suggest contacting User:Koppedia

message: The article needs to be given an overall flow.  As is, it's more of a collection of random bits that haven't been made to fit together into a nice, clean, readable whole.  Ben Aveling 22:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Is a statue or a bust a portrait as well? I was under the impression that only 2d works, primarily paintings, could be called portraits (perhaps the word portrait if a false friend to the Polish portret...)? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  02:17, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, in English a work in any medium can be a portrait, though often a phrase like "Portrait bust" is used. Johnbod (talk) 01:19, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
