thread_title:  [[:File:Las Meninas, by Diego Velázquez, from Prado in Google Earth.jpg]] to appear as POTD soon 

message: I'll try to be brief because I'm sure most of the people who read this will know more than I do both about art and about Wikipedia.
Usually I'd just edit the first sentence to say "Las Meninas (Spanish for The Girls) [...]", but here I worry that there might be an specific reason for this difference (specially because someone already changed this part of the article before).
I believe it should be changed in some way because it's wrong to say that "Las Meninas is Spanish for Ladies-in-Waiting" or for "Maids of Honor". signed by ip user /176.xx.x.xxx
:Hi, did the word "Meninas" evolve in meaning between the 17th and 20 & 21st centuries? For eg, in English, "lady" certainly did. Ceoil (talk) 23:52, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The article says "Her ladies-in-waiting, known by the Portuguese name of meninas.." sourced to Kenneth Clark (note 42).  Whatever the word may mean in other contexts (in either language), WP:RS are entirely agreed that in this context it translates as "Ladies-in-waiting". Johnbod (talk) 00:20, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the only source have found disputing the English title is Michel Foucault, and of course he did. Ceoil (talk) 00:24, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Spanish wp only has an article beginning "La menina (del inglés: MEN, multiple endocrine neoplasia) es una proteína que en los seres humanos está codificada por el gen MEN1....", but in Portuguese WP there is an article on "Menina" meaning girl. In Spanish it would just be Las Ninas, no? Johnbod (talk) 00:32, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Las Meninas is not Spanish for either Ladies-in-Waiting nor for Maids of Honor 

message: Just wanted to share this info and these sources from eswiki:
Google Translate: "7. The character next to him, half in shadow, is the only one whose name Palomino does not give. It only mentions him as a guardamas, although more recent studies assure that it is Don Diego Ruiz Azcona."

I don't have enough Spanish or art background to interpret but I thought it was interesting in case anyone else wants to check it out. jengod (talk) 17:21, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
