message: There seems to duplication between the sentences and the bold links below. Since this context is static, I think it makes sense to minimize the area of this section. I'd like to move the bold links into the first sentence, so it'd read:
'including painting, sculpture, photography, conceptual art, drawing,  graphic design, printmaking and others'
Does anyone see any issues with this? Clubmarx | Talk 18:49, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I was thinking of updating the featured picture on the Visual arts portal. I see you were the last to update it. Is there a process for nominating pics? I'd like to use the Aalto Vase image. It doesn't look like there's a formal process, just thought I'd check first. Clubmarx 19:44, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I came across the above article since SuggestBot recommended it to me as a stub I might be interested in expanding. It is a bit out of my league, but could be interesting just the same. The information in the article seems to basically be the text at http://royal-miniature-society.org.uk/index.htm . Suggestions? I'm relatively new to WP so I don't know all the appropriate ropes yet ... Thanks! Keesiewonder 00:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: OK. I'll leave the 2nd paragraph and add a 3rd, which I just drafted above, and put it into the portal page. I'm happy to have it copy-edited. :) --sparkitTALK 14:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To be honest, I thought some of it read better in the earlier version, so what I've done is attempted to combine the two versions and made some other tweaks to clean it up. And I fixed "the Britain". Planetneutral 14:56, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

message: A comment in the Portal:Philosophy/Did you know says...
* Do NOT use the "|right" image markup here-- use  instead.
The image in the VA DYK uses the |right wiki markup. I wonder if this might be the source of the IE problem when DYK is in the right column? --sparkitTALK 13:36, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Great find! Totally fixed that problem. It does leave another quirky IE display issue where the image sits about a line higher than the first DYK, but that might be tolerable. Thanks! Planetneutral talk 15:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I started a test of the default values of the Random box-header subpage template here with the optional "watch" parameter included. The default settings use all of the subpages at Portal:Box-header. Right now, that means 42 different color palettes. Some probably look nice here, some not so nice. If desired, it's possible to use just a range of subpages, e.g., 40-42 are shades of gray. It's also possible to place a customized set of subpages under Portal:Visual arts/box-header. 
I put the test here because I thought at least some folks interested in the visual arts would be interested in playing with this template's possibilities. If you really can't take it, I'll understand if you revert the test. However, I hope you give it a test drive or two before you get rid of it completely. 
Also, I would be interesting in knowing what you think of this color palette randomization approach. Would you change anything about the template? Would you like to see it at any other portals? Thanks for your consideration. RichardF (talk) 04:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I am not involved in the art-subject-area of Wikipedia nor do I feel I know enough about it to work on it; however, there are some serious issues at The Death of Marat (the great old French piece by Jacques-Louis David). I keep tagging it so someone involved with art-aspects of Wikipedia could take a look at it.  There is a large section "Style: An Iconographic Paradox" which is written like an art-interpretation essay, and needs some serious cleanup, referencing, wikification, and "encyclopedification."  The tags keep getting removed by IPs without summary... looking into the article's history, I see that the essay was added by an IP way back when; I assume someone just added an essay they wrote and perhaps they don't want anyone else to change it or "wikify" it.  Could an editor more involved in this area perhaps take a look at it and see if anything can be done?

message: If filmmaking belongs in this portal, what about making television shows? I searched the filmmaking article and this portal for "tv" and then "television" and neither page contained either word. 
Thanks for all your hard work and sorry I can only raise the question and not help develop the answer due to bandwidth limits of my own. :)

message: Hello! Your input is needed on Commons. Can anyone please clarify who the painter of the two paintings was? El Labrador or Miguel de Pret? Thanks in advance!
El Labrador - Bunches of Grapes - Google Art Project.jpg

It seems to me that the Prado originally acquired the second painting as a work by Juan Fernandez Labrador, but now attributes it to Miguel de Pret, based on a comparison with the painting in the collection of the Cerralbo museum. Mduvekot (talk) 04:08, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Hi. If I work on an article in the Cleanup listing for WikiProject Visual arts, do I need to notify someone of the completed work?

message: WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:50, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
