Athenaeum images

Thanks for adding new images to Providence Athenaeum. Since it's known for being a historic building, I restored the image from the 1958 historic buildings survey in place of the photo of the sign you added, but left the interior picture, which is great. Having three images on such a short article would probably be too many, but I did create and link to a category on the Commons. --— Rhododendrites talk |  01:38, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fine tuning William S. Hayward

Nice work, make sure to fill out the PERSONDATA/DEFAULTSORT fields at the bottom of the page (viewable in edit mode) and fix the birth/death categories. I think you're to the point of just being able to publish your drafts directly if you care to, since you seem to have the method down and good feel for sourcing. Great work, you're doing a real service to the history of Providence! I hope it's your ambition to fill all the gaps in their mayoral history! MatthewVanitas (talk) 00:42, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A page you started (National Association of Army Nurses of the Civil War) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating National Association of Army Nurses of the Civil War, Kzirkel!

Wikipedia editor Roches just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Good, but perhaps you should combine the first two paragraphs.

Which side were these nurses on? It seems to be Union, but it should be clear in in the first paragraph.

Does "long gone and forgotten" have any particular meaning as a status?

To reply, leave a comment on Roches's talk page.

Learn more about page curation.

I've never seen the term "Late War" (the 1892-1901 name) before, so I added it to Names of the Civil War. I gathered that it was a Union organization from the fact that it was associated with the Grand Army of the Republic. If an application needed GAR approval and the organization attended GAR events, I think it's safe to say it was restricted to Union war nurses. If you'd rather not do that, you could flag the article for expert attention or maybe ask a contributor at the Civil War task force page. Roches (talk) 18:27, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your RI governor photos

Hey, just a note to say that I greatly appreciate the photos you've been adding to prominent Rhode-Islanders. I didn't know that portrait of William Wanton even existed. Guess you are the first wikipedian to go into the RI state house to see what was there. I was just there a couple of weeks ago taking some external pics of the building, mostly for the quote of John Clarke on the south-facing frieze. I see from your home page that you are also a graver, which has been my primary passion for the past two years, and the reason I don't do much wikipedia any more. Anyway, my Find-a-grave page is here. Hope you have more RI photos to add; I'm delighted to see them.Sarnold17 (talk) 23:12, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sarnold17: Thanks for the kind words. There are a lot of governors of RI. A lot of the portraits were moved from the hallways, too, so there are still quite a few more left to photograph. I'll definitely be making a return trip. - Kzirkel (talk) 04:05, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Central Landfill photo?

Hi there,

By chance, do you have any photos of the Central Landfill in Johnston, RI? I just created an article about it and I'm surprised I've not yet been able to find one with a compatible license. It's probably only of the best known sites in the state (to those who live there anyway), though I can imagine it's not one of the most photographed. :) — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:10, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into
a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania,
and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury
for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the
River was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old
Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it
in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!

Request for input on Edward M. Bannister

Hi, I recently significantly expanded the Edward Mitchell Bannister article and put it up for a GAN. I was looking through the page history and noticed that you had de-stubified the page long ago and that you're a prolific WP:RI contributor. I thought I'd ask your opinion on the page; any help would be appreciated! :D —Wingedserif (talk) 21:49, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It looks good to me! Nice work. - Kzirkel (talk) 21:57, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at User talk:KSulaj2123, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting.

My apologies, it was inadvertent. I was using a Wiki tool for the first time, and I thought it was crating a generic automatic comment that I was supposed to customize. - Kzirkel (talk) 18:12, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A somewhat premature New Year's greeting


John Vanderlyn, Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos (c.1812),
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts 		Best wishes for a safe, healthy and prosperous 2022.
Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place.

Moral lesson: John Vanderlyn was an American painter who studied in Paris, and his life-sized
Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos was one of the first large nudes exhibited in the United States.
Peddling the poison as well as the cure, this overtly sensuous work was presented to the public as a
moral lesson on the consequences of lascivious behavior. Visible in the distance is the ship of
Princess Ariadne's secret lover, Theseus, for whom she has betrayed her people by helping him to
escape the Labyrinth and slay the Minotaur. Ariadne's bliss will come to an end when she awakens
from her post-coital reverie, only to discover that the faithless Theseus has sailed away without her.
