Talk:Hendrik Christian Andersen

message: The prior version of this article stated that James and Andersen had a "close, loving and homoerotic bond ..."  The word "homoerotic" was removed with an edit summary claiming that it violated the NPOV rules.  I ask how.  The letters between the two clearly demonstrate the homoerotic bond between the two.  The article made no claim that the two ever acted sexually based upon that bond; it merely stated that their relationship was "homoerotic"  James' own words in a letter to Andersen demonstrate this when he says that he wishes Andersen to lean on him as "a brother, as a lover."  Wikipedia's own page on homoeroticism states:
The term homoerotic (and its companion term lesboerotic) carries with it the weight of modern classifications of love and desire that did not necessarily exist in previous eras. Homosexuality as we know it today was not codified and pathologized until the mid-20th century. Prior to that time, it was common for men and women to spend a great deal of time in the company of their own sex. As a result, close associations between members of the same sex formed, most notably in the "romantic friendships" documented in the letters and papers of 18th- and 19th- century men and women. These romantic friendships, which may or may not have included genital sex, were characterized by passionate emotional attachments and what modern thinkers would consider homoerotic overtones.
Clearly the two had such a bond.  That is not to say they had sex, merely that they had a "homoerotic" relationship.  Saying so does not violate the NPOV rules of Wikipedia.  Unless, some suport is offered for the claim that it does, I shall edit the article to reinclude the adjective, while keeping the remainder of the most recent additions to the article.

thread_title: NPOV Claim/ relationship with Henry James

message: .. in my page in the Italian Wikipedia: please do write in English, second, you may of course use my pictures in Commons (as many as you want) for this page: I uploaded them quite for this very reason. Third, I have some pictures of him, but the copyright status of them is unclear, not having the author name for any of them. As soon as I find one which is in the PD, I shall upload it. Currently, I have none, sorry,. best wishes. And please remember to always sign your messages or put a link to a page for your answer G.dallorto 02:52, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: For the person who left a request...

message: from the article:
::"Andersen’s work continues to inspire 21st Century artists such as English sculptor Yinka Shonibare, in his The Three Graces.Contemporary Art at www.speedmuseum.org"
because the reference is dead and I can not discover anything that remotely suggests that this claim might be true.  Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 19:57, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
