Talk:Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky

message: This page is becoming a photo gallery. In future, people can go to the commons site if they want to view all these pictures, and I reccomend only a selection be shown in the actual page. Dave 11:38, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

message: This article contains a lot of self-references. I'm thinking of the Gallery header, which should be removed or reworked entirely, and List of photographs, which is entirely self-referencing and even wikilinks to a category within the article.

message: I failed this GA because, if it's supposed to be some kind of biography, it's just a stub. I'm not failing it based on length, but on information. The only information in here is about his photography; no biological, early life, relationship info. Also several small, but important things:
*The first image caption says it's a self-portrait. That makes it sound like it was a painting. I did a double-take when I read that.
Now  you might term it a selfie.... :-) Actio (talk) 02:47, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Failed GA nomination 

message: I've seen different ways of spelling Prokudin-Gorsky's full name, so I did a google search to see which way of spelling gave the most hits. Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii gave around 25,000 results, while Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky only gave about 250 hits. Even when omitting his middle name, Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii had overwhelmingly more hits than Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky. Therefore I think the name of this article should be changed into Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii.

replies: text: I see it in the article on Penkovsky too. When these people wrote their own names they ended with the Russian letter for an "i" or "ee" sound, followed by the same letter with the diacritical-mark for "palatalizing" which is just adding a "y" in front. A Russian reciting this name would end it in either "Gorskiyee" or "Gorskeeyee". Transliterating that using only one vowel defies logic. But probably the world's major English newspapers and English print-encyclopedias follow that same error.

thread_title:  Spelling 

message: It seems that this article should be split into article on three color photography, technique pioneered by Louis Ducos du Hauron, Adolf Miethe and others and mastered by Prokudin-Gorsky and the remainder of article about Prokudin-Gorsky life and work.

replies: text: Yep. And the intro might very well state that P-G did not actually invent the three-colour process (a statement one see all over the net). As such his inclusion in the timeline over at color photography seems a bit out of place, while he's certainly interesting due to the massive volume of his work, that's about it when one examines the issue critically. 130.232.214.10 (talk) 13:21, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Three color photography 

message: I had to struggle to make sense out of the terminology of "red", "green", and "blue for the filters in light of the cyan, magenta, and yellow at
http://content.wdl.org/5587/service/thumbnail/1430167600/1024x1024/1/1.jpg
. The text "; or used to make photographic or mechanical prints in the complementary colors cyan, magenta and yellow," was of no help at first. To most people, the complementary colors of "red, green, and blue" are "green, red, and orange" respectively. I was still puzzled until I read the article on Complementary Colors to find that in another system those are cyan, magenta, and yellow. Might you rewrite it like this: "; or used to make photographic or mechanical prints in the colors complementary to red (cyan), to green (magenta) and to blue (yellow)"? Even the addition of the word "respectively" would have made it easier than it was. I DID eventually catch on but it was a lot of head-scratching, work, and I had to read another article. I'd like the next reader not to have to work so hard. Also, mightn't the next reader NOT work so hard to make sense but just give up and quit reading BEFORE "getting it"? Please revise. Thanks.2604:2000:C6AA:B400:206C:BE94:70F5:F5C (talk) 05:57, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It pains me to read of your struggle, but the alternative to providing links to the complementary colors and subtractive color articles in that sentence would be to delve into those subjects in some depth on the spot, which is clearly beyond this article's proper scope. Your suggestion about using some permutation involving the word "respectively" seems reasonable enough, except that while that might have been enlightening for you, it might cause even more perplexity to some other reader with a different knowledge set serving as their background. There may be no reasonable alternative to some head-scratching and consequent link-following for readers not already generally familiar with those subjects. Understanding the basics of RGB color is essential to understanding the technical aspects of P-G's photography, and understanding the interrelationship of RGB and CMY, so often now spoken of as if they were separate and incompatible color universes, is essential to understanding how CMY prints can be made from RGB negatives. It seems to me that both of those educational tasks are best and properly served by linking to the relevant articles. 66.249.172.141 (talk) 08:34, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
