Hello editors,
I have a question about Follow my dreams page. It is about a hand-painted mural by the italian artist TVBoy in 2022 in the city of Barcelona. This mural was originally called “Super Alexia” where you could read in the background the phrase: “Follow your dreams” with the footballer Alexia Putellas stepped out painted in a Superwoman outfit with a cape clearly visible on her back. In 2023, due to the multitude of vandalism acts, the artist decided to redo the mural, but neither the phrase nor the drawing of the player were the same. You can see the clear differences with the 2022 painting: [1] and the 2023 updated painting: [2]
In the Talk:Follow my dreams I proposed to make different articles because the new painting of 2023 should be treated as a completely different one even if it is located in the same place and on top of the old painting. The painting and the message in the background is totally different as you can read in the article: [3]
Throughout history, many painters have painted over other paintings and they have never been treated as updates of these but yes as a different works. It is currently an active dispute with user Kingsif that recently moved the page (Super Alexia to Follow my dreams) and reverses the edits I made because he wants to fix the date of the old 2022 painting but the name “Follow my dreams” was created in the year 2023 not in 2022.
What do you think?
I welcome any opinions on this:

Hello all. Joan arden murray, a true and noted scholar herself, brought up an interesting point when I asked her for assistance on a navbox. Should art historians and scholars known for their work about an individual artist be included on that artist’s navbox? Although listed on navboxes in some other fields of endeavor, I don’t recall regular use on artist navboxes but maybe they should be added. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:09, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- Generally I’d say no. One can imagine how this could get out of control with Michelangelo, Rembrandt etc. And what is the infobox user really supposed to do with the information, other than a rather deceptive name-drop in their student assignment? There may well be more obscure cases where a mention of one or two scholars is justifiable in the lead, but that’s enough imo. Johnbod (talk) 15:51, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- Agree with Johnbod, it doesn’t really add much to the article or provide much for the reader that wouldn’t already be in the body with more context. For example, in the Sam Gilliam article, the scholar that would fit the bill for this would be Jonathan P. Binstock; but because Binstock is extensively cited in the body (given that he’s the most widely cited Gilliam scholar generally), the article already introduces him and notes his contributions to the historical record. That feels like the more appropriate way to handle this if a specific scholar or small group of scholars have studied/published on a single artist deeply enough to warrant mention. 19h00s (talk) 22:20, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- Apologies Randy, I mis-read your note as being about infoboxes. I think navboxes are a different story than infoboxes, and I’m actually more inclined to say that this would be an appropriate addition to individual artist navboxes. Although for the vast majority of cases, there would likely be a small number, or even just one scholar that would fit the definition of “Noted scholars” or something similar, so I’m not sure it’s something that should be widespread. But I can certainly imagine situations where it does make sense to link to several authors/scholars well known for their study of or connection to an artist. 19h00s (talk) 22:27, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
There is a request to rename Wikimedia Commons category “Conservation-restoration” to “Conservation-restoration of cultural heritage objects” that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Myotus (talk) 21:45, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Hello! I would like to propose creating a Wikipedia article for Egon Schiele‘s 1917 painting The Embrace (Die Umarmung), also known as Lovers II. Does anyone in this project have reliable sources and is able to create the article?
Thank you in advance for any contributions. ~2025-32122-32 (talk) 10:37, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Peaceray I usually write Wikipedia articles in another language and don’t have the skills to create this one in English. I’m adding it here because it falls within this project’s scope, perhaps someone with the expertise could take care of it. Thank you in advance for any contributions! ~2025-37197-70 (talk) 10:25, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
I uploaded this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MadonnaAtTheGate.jpg
If somebody could please find an appropriate Wikipedia page to put it on and put it there, I would appreciate it. Please let me know.
The caption displayed with it said:
“Portraitissa or Madonna of the gate
Early 20th Century
Oil on wood panel with applied silver 1991.013.015
This image of the Virgin was based on one that was believed to have been painted by St. Luke. The original image was found in the Georgian Iviron monastery on Mount Athos in Greece, having been there since 999. The Portraitissa is considered miraculous: praying to it activates the powerful intercession of the Virgin Mary.
According to tradition, the icon was cast into the sea by a widow to escape its seizure and destruction by iconoclasts. Instead of sinking. the icon stood upright on the water and drifted to the west. The widow’s son became a monk at Mount Athos, where he recounted the story, and several years later, a monk named Gabriel from the Iviron monastery at Mount Athos recovered the icon from the sea.
He placed it on the altar, but the next day it was hanging above the gate of the monastery. Gabriel then reported that the Virgin appeared to him in a vision and said she wished to be the protector of the monks. Thus the icon was permanently installed above the monastery gates and called the Portraitissa or “Gate-Keeper.””

After some initial category population by myself and Johnbod, please join in. Haven’t done a full search on the category:Madonna and Child in art and category:Nativity of Jesus in art pages, which likely have category-worthy pages. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:41, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
- I’m confident I’ve added most worthy pages but there may be a few I’ve missed. I couldn’t add any from Category:Nativity of Jesus in art because while many show the child lying down, they do not specifically depict him as asleep. Golem08 (talk) 21:21, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
