Talk:Roman Vishniac

message: Vishniac is said to have win this but I can't find a single information on the internet about this Prize that isn't directly linked to Vishniac (and most of the time to this article or a copy of it). Are you sure it really exists? Alamar  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.197.251.110 (talk) 15:55, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Grand Prize for Art in Photography 

message: I am translating this article for the French Wikipedia so i'm reading and checking a lot of details. I'm not 100% sure but other informations I found on internet about Zbaszyn show that if it's near the Germany/Poland border, in 1938 it was a Polish city and not a German one and the internment camp Roman sneaked into wasn't at all for a deportation in Poland but for Polish Jews living in Germany and deported because of a new Polish law. (see Zbaszyn). Besides, in 1938 I think there was no jewish deportation camps in Poland since Germany only invaded Poland in september 1939.
So "he sneaked into Zbaszyn, an internment camp in Germany near the border, where Jews awaited deportment to Poland." should be changed to "he sneaked into Zbaszyn, an internment camp in Poland near the German border, where Jews had been deported from Germany.".

replies: text: I only took the time to look for the source now and I found it on the internet there http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20087647,00.html . As you can see it never said that Zbaszyn was a deportation camp. Actually it says nearly nothing on the camp. So I'm now sure that my version is the good one.

thread_title:  Zbaszyn 

message: DanielK212, concerning the edits you made to ==Publications== and ==Exhibitions==, I have a few comments and questions which I list below:
#Do you have a source for the 31 photographs in Polish Jews, or was this just a typo of mine? Also, I think the focus on spirituality in this publication is notable.
#Doesn't Roman Vishniac (ICP) list the ICP exhibition at the Jewish Museum separately from the touring ICP exhibition? Also, where is it listed that the title of the latter is the same as the former?
#I believe the title of Children of a Vanished World does not include "Roman Vishniac", even though the name is on the cover. Were the photographs exhibited at Spertus Museum from Children of a Vanished World or showcased with it?
#Should not we cite the publication date of the version of Polish Jews that we used, at least for the citation?
#Is the '83 version of The Vanished World the most popular of publications? I thought he was more well-known sooner.
Respond by the same numbering or indented within it? Thanks for the good edits. Call if you have too many questions. --Rmrfstar 22:54, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

2nd sentance I'm changing to "He was not only an extremely diverse photographer, but also an accomplished biologist and a knowledgeable student and teacher of art history."  because I don't think however is appropriate since you're not directly contradicting anything.Omishark 03:45, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I read this article with interest, congratulations on getting it to FA status. I found, though, that the tone was much more casual than is usual for our most lauded biographies. There was a folky tone that didn't add anything to his biographical information, it seemed to be there only to make him seem more accessible. Not a bad goal, but not encyclopedic IMO. I'd like to see the article with a few fewer adjectives and adverbs, and a slightly more formal tone. Anchoress 20:45, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If there's a folky tone, that's probably from my writing style. Feel free to change or criticise certain sections if you feel they are too casual, as you have already done. -- Rmrfstar 12:56, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Dear fellow contributors
MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether or not dates are autoformatted. MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this. 
There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:
Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. I'm seeking feedback about this proposal to remove it from the main text (using a script) in about a week's time on a trial basis/ The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links.

message: The following is not a joke. There was a photographer famous for his biological photographs who had severe digestive problems. He had to eat something about once an hour, or he would suffer from extreme pain. His wife would make a pile of small sandwiches for him each morning. Was this Vishniac?

thread_title: digestive problems

message: I certainly did not notice or know of him having the referenced digestive problem. I was between freshman and sophomore years in high school and spending the summer with my uncle, Dr. Morris Rockstein, a teacher and researcher during the summer at the Marine Biological Laboratory there in Woods Hole, acting as his lab assistant and general factotum. I was introduced to Roman Vishniac in his role as a photographer who was making strides in making biological microphotographs.  Doc Rock (talk) 17:29, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
