message: He was commisioned Guernica for the pavilion of the Spanish Republic  in the Paris World Fair. Isn't that enough?--Error 02:18, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Taking sides in the Spanish war

message: Aprt from a few references to Cubism, his blue period, and Guernica, this article only addresses his art as if it were evidence at a psychological inquest. Nothing wrong with showing him warts and all, but it doesn't sound as if the authors of this piece have any interest in his art or its place in Western culture (other than its dollar value). If Michale Trinkler teaches Picasso, then he should find something to say about him beyond this. 24.126.41.116 05:37, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Missing the point

message: Where was picasso born and educarted? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.85.15.94 (talk • contribs) .
:born is in the article - (October 25, 1881)  in Málaga, Spain, it also says that he was educated at Academy of Arts (Academia de San Fernando) in Madrid (though for less than a year). Don't know why you added "Picasso was born in Barcelona" to the article. Cfitzart 13:22, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Help 

message: On 1 Nov 2005, a vandal using the anonymous IP 156.63.253.3 blanked several paragraphs in addition to the nonsense he/she added to the page.  There were several rounds of vandalism from other anons in close proximity to this edit.  Some but not all of these paragraphs were later added back to the article.  I can understand if it was a deliberate editorial decision to leave these paragraphs out but I wanted to be sure it was not merely an oversight.  Please see this edit for the apparently lost paragraphs.  Thanks.  Rossami (talk) 22:37, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There are TWO figures on the right in his painting of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon which influenced his African period, not forty-seven! (theres only 5 figures in the whole picture so I dont know how 47 was arrived at) Please make sure this doesnt get changed again, as its the second time Ive had to change this back Cfitzart 10:20, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I think this article should be protected from non-registered users.  Virtually all of the vandalism is from anon. editors.  On the other hand, that might push them to vandalize articles with less visibility.  Cacophony 22:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Yes, in order to be semi-protected it needs to be listed on Wikipedia:Requests for page protection.  I would do it myself, but I have other things going on.  Thanks, Cacophony 18:03, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: New Category

message: The words "Picasso had constructed a huge gothic structure" seem to have an unclear reference although the following text about Picasso being able to afford villas suggest an architectural meaning.  If the meaning is the complex personal/sexual relations in his life, it could be made clearer.Pangapilot 00:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Internal logic: editing suggestion 

message: I think Picasso should be described as an 'Artist', rather than 'painter and sculptor', because his creative scope seemed very wide, and he practiced pottery, printmaking and designing, even did stage-designing for his friends (for Jean Cocteau, for example). --Objecthood 06:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This article is poorly written and edited, filled with egregious grammatical errors, rather silly opinions by uninformed non-professionals, and flat-out factual mistakes.  Until it is thoroughly edited, no serious discussion is possible.68.72.99.63 02:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
