Zollner
[edit]Hi there Ham, hope all is well with you! Was wondering if you could take a look at the Leonardo scholar Frank Zöllner—I was trying to find some citations to support the text, but having trouble. Also according to page 5 of this, the publication of (Re)invent Rezeptionswege von Byzanz bis in die Moderne was published to align with his birthday, but I can't find what day that was! Some online source are saying June 26, but they all seem to be repeating uncited info that was once on the WP page. Best – Aza24 (talk) 21:04, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Aza24, great to hear from you! The one good source I could find for Zöllner's date of birth is from the (Czech Republic's) Archive of Fine Arts; I've added that to the article. I will come back to the Google doc of Zöllner's catalogue raisonné of the drawings one day, and finally get them all onto Wikidata and thereby generate a list article here on Wikipedia...

- I will come back to it too! Thanks for finding that source, I'll see what else I can add to the article. Aza24 (talk) 01:14, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

abstract expressionism
[edit]Hello. You mention in your comment at the schools RM that 'Abstract Expressionism' was safely uppercased on Wikipedia. Alas, tis not the case. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:09, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
