Shouldn't be too hard to get this expanded to DYK guidelines (see WP:DYK, if you're not familiar with it); having that dollhouse on the front page would look nice. I wonder what 30,000 guilders was, relatively speaking--possibly enough for a nice grachtenhuis. Drmies (talk) 19:13, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- DYKs not really my scene. I'll leave that to you, but I agree it would make a nice addition to front page. The sources I looked at did mention that 30,000 guilders in those days would buy a nice grachtenhuis today (we used to have *three* in our family :( ...). Thanks for taking that over by the way. I had run out of steam on it. C1cada (talk) 19:23, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
Gauguin
Hello C1cada, I left you a message at your Commons Talk page. Thanks for your work. Cheers. Coldcreation (talk) 06:33, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Coldcreation and thanks for your work! It's a very beautiful painting, but that original Yorck image absolutely terrible. c1cada (talk) 08:27, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
Vollard
There is an amazing essay that John Rewald wrote regarding the deal between Gauguin and Vollard - John Rewald (1986). Studies in Post-Impressionism. Harry N. Abrams Inc. Apparently Vollard burned him - leaving him broke at the end, causing him to flip out, and go off the deep end. Vollard then threatened to sue anyone with the temerity to report the story; and consequently he was referred to as Mr.X in the press...Modernist (talk) 14:47, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hi. Modernist. I didn't know that (haven't read Rewald). I did know Vollard had a bit of a reputation. I'll look the essay out. There's a section in the article that mentions Rewald. Perhaps it could go there. Basically I'm just filling in what I thought were some quite big gaps in the Gauguin bio. I shall do some edits on the Marquesas period and then go back and fill out some of the earlier stuff. I shall be a bit relieved when I'm finished... Thanks for your help (and Philafrenzy). c1cada (talk) 15:07, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- That essay is actually one of Danielsson's sources, presumably for the couple of pages describing some initial hitches in the deal, so I can quote it as a primary source mentioning that in the Marquesas section. Danielsson is an excellent read if you haven't tried him. c1cada (talk) 17:18, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you. —DoRD (talk) 14:22, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry for the template message, but it does a better job of conveying what I want to say than me typing it from memory. Best —DoRD (talk) 14:22, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- No sweat, apologies. Perhaps you can fix this gratuitously unnecessary page move yourself then. Things you see are named by what names them, lawsuits and all. And in this case the name is "Wikimedia v. NSA" as the very first citation from the Wikimedia Foundation makes clear. I may not have the science to fix it, but I do have the wit to know it needs it. c1cada (talk) 14:27, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, the best way to resolve that would be to start a discussion on the talk page. Personally, I think that the title of the article should be the long version, Wikimedia Foundation v. National Security Agency, but without discussion, there really shouldn't be any further moves. —DoRD (talk) 14:36, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- Well , I wouldn't oppose that. I do wish the original mover had opened a discussion first. Meanwhile the Wikimedia Foundation itself calls it "Wikimedia v.NSA". But I shan't do any more moving, promise. Didn't understand that about breaking the edit history. Thanks for your time and help. c1cada (talk) 14:52, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Gauguin
Hi C1cada, just to say hello. You are always welcome to tap my talk page for wiki related advice and will see you around. Best. Ceoil (talk) 07:45, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Ceoil. Thanks for this. Big fan of yours. I put a little note on your talk page in appreciation. Of course you're always welcome here. c1cada (talk) 00:02, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
- I see where you are coming from with the new artist pic, but I think the prev photo of Gauguin at the piano gets across the sence of his wild, savage spirit (ahem), for better or worse. We might reconsider reinstating at some stage. Kudos so far. Ceoil (talk) 01:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- The previous is already in his BLP. I will be doing (months ahead) a start for Te Faaturuma, where I'll include the profile. I much liked your Jug start and thought you would like the profile. Totally unbothered, do whatever you think works best. You have a much better sense of that than I have. Main thing is that the image is at Commons for others to use. c1cada (talk) 01:19, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- I've gone with both for now, but like you am indiffreent. Lets see how the page falls out. The Jug portrait hits me; there is huge hidden pathos; Gauguin was certain, brash, out there, and poor Vincent - left waiting. Ceoil (talk) 01:35, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- I can't stand these edit conflicts. I was trying to say how much I agree with you before dealing with some ijiot arsing on about about John Forbes Nash, Jr.'s penis. Can you possibly imagine a more totally wonderful image? Drunk of course. c1cada (talk) 01:49, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- I'm a private sector accoutant, increasingly dealing with pay per view statistations; but have rarely seen a face so mathemically pleasing and interesting as that. Shallow response: Gaunt is go and hallowed. 02:12, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi! I've just been explaining the status of this image on the Commons deletion request page :-)
You're right - however: the file has been released by the artist on a CC BY-SA license to Zachęta Gallery. The source site, Otwartazacheta.pl (open Zacheta) is a library of CC-licensed images in Zacheta's collection. All images not marked otherwise are CC BY-SA licensed. The Gallery sent Wikimedia PL a list of all CC BY-SA images with a standard permission - I forgot to ask the OTRS operator to insert the permission ticket into the file description. It should be done in a couple of days. Thanks! --Marta Malina Moraczewska (talk) 15:02, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. That's good news. Nice image. Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your contribution. c1cada (talk) 15:21, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 1
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Oviri (Gauguin), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Maori (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

- Thanks, Bot. I changed it to Maohi, which is what Gauguin probably meant. c1cada (talk) 18:54, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Things
It appears that I suck. I came up with a theory that you were somebody else, someone unloved, returned. It would seem I was mistaken.[1] Ceoil (talk) 11:10, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
- You don't suck, Ceoil. I don't know many of your articles, but the ones I've seen (Jug, Christus mainly, also the German romantic I'm having a senior moment with right now) are all excellent. c1cada (talk) 11:25, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
- You've done impressive work at Gauguin and Oviri, both needed help; I just don't have the time anymore; Ceoil and I put Oviri together and as brilliant as Ceoil is - your help is appreciated...Modernist (talk) 11:40, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
- Modernist is very wise. We are *delighted* to see you; the Ovri article is really taking shape. Ceoil (talk) 11:45, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks Modernist. Of course I know how much visual arts is indebted to you. Pretty well every edit history has valuable contribution from you. I shall have to stop editing at Gauguin soon, for a while at least. One or two things I would like to fit in. Mostly I want to fill out the early days of his bio. c1cada (talk) 11:47, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
- Looking a little more closely at the early days in the bio, I think it's adequate. I'm not sure I need to add much there. I plan to make an article start for Noa Noa and that will be pretty much it for the time being. Certainly I've to finish before the end of April, after which my time will be rather limited for quite a while. Didn't really mean to edit quite as much on Gauguin. These things have a habit of snowballing. Thanks for your help. c1cada (talk) 20:29, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
