Talk:Conceptual art/Archive 1

message: I authored the paragraph under the Lewitt quote and added several artists to the list (before I had an account here). A dull administrative question: do people prefer "Conceptual Art" or "Conceptual art"? I don't mind either way but I think we should remain consistent.

thread_title: Conceptual "Art" or "art"

message: As an older and mid-career artist, though I actually support myself with another job, I have stepped right back from theoretic debate. In a naive though possibly relevant sense, the public dislike conceptual art or at least cannot find longevity in it because the name implies that the viewer has to make some effort of mind - in other words, to actually think or form/re-form the concept. Most punters have busy lives and don't want to have to think. So they shy away from conceptual art. Often the piece is also referential to (sometimes ironically) or actually part of an intellectual paradigm foreign to the majority of viewers. On another level, the concept being presented is often ephemeral or a comment on some contemporary issue: ergo once more: low relevance later on. However, conceptual art is a valuable - maybe indispensable - part of modern life. It acts as the court jester might once have: as a heightener of current emotion, the conscience of the king, a lens for the mind, a fey will'o'the'wisp touching lightly on refractions of the quotidian (damn' it I should translate that to French!). So though I regard most conceptual art as transitory, I applaud and encourage its practitioners. Which of us would truly want a world without them? Lgh 00:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  art, smart, it's all quickie-mart to me 

message: The quote of Sol LeWitt's words includes the sentence, "In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work." By not distinguishing between idea and concept, he obscurely suggests that these words are synonyms and can be freely substituted for each other. This disregard for the clear and distinct use of words is a symptom of a person who has no mental acuity.152.163.100.12 17:56, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Clarified? I wouldn't call those clear sentences. LeWitt totally disregarded the essential difference between idea and concept which is that an idea is an image and a concept is a thought. An idea is an imagined perception. A concept is that which is common to several perceptions.Lestrade 14:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Stourbridge F.C.

message: I have made a minor edit (but an important one which quite a few users are unaware of, including me!) with regards to the sub-heading of External links. According to this page, the external link section should always have the term of External links. If all articles in Wikipedia were to follow this style, the articles in this project would be more consistent in MOS format, raising the professionalism of this encyclopedia. Granted, this may seem such an unimportant observation on my part to some users, but if the idea of consistency is not followed as close as possible, new users and outsiders of the Wikipedia community would take this encyclopedia less seriously. In my humble opinion, it is the observance of these minor detalis that seperate the elite encyclopedias to the good ones. --Siva1979Talk to me 04:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America

message: This seems like a major piece of information to be included without a reference:after 40 million dollars " disappeared " from the Carpenter's International General Fund via questionable loans and real estate investments to family members and friends of the Carpenter's International Executive Board. Knowing that they would be voted out of office at the next National Convention, the Carpenter's International began to consolidate locals into a district council system. Within this new system working Carpenters lost the right to vote on contracts and to vote for their local's Business Agent, thus consolidating all power into the international appointed councils and leaving locals and rank and file members disenfranchised.
The amount was subsequently amended to 100 million dollars. Does anyone have more information on this?--Bookandcoffee 15:17, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, both use the same engine type, but it doesn't appear that the engine choice was in any way related, or a joint decision. One must assume the similarties are coincidental in the absense of any evidence of a connection between the two designs.
