Hi Fluss, you did a lovely job on the Women in Art article - and I love the images that you used - great job!!!! I cannot read German so I translated the article and was really impressed, great job. I hear the part about not needing help with any English-language articles and that you're looking to dial down your participation in Wikipedia, but if you find you would like help let me know. It's great to know that there are others who have really benefited by Modernist's support, he's helped me a lot, too. Regarding you helping me, yes, if you don't mind it being an open invitation that would be great. There are times where I run into things in German that I cannot quite translate, so it's nice to know that you'd be there for me to help clarify. All the best!--CaroleHenson (talk) 13:52, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"... run into things in German ..." Maybe sometimes we can support each other. I have been seeking in en:wp someone with whom it is possible, when neccessary, to talk subjects through, instead of getting just those machine like male stakkato commands and notes. I will not employ you much. When I know, someone understands extended thinking and talking, my communications can be shorter: less to explain, better feeling, relaxed solutions. Let's see - as the water flows down the stream ...--fluss (talk) 14:37, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, that sounds good! It's really nice for me, too, to be in contact with another woman.--CaroleHenson (talk) 15:31, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Iron me up, please ;-)

It sounds as if you knew what performance art was before you came to the article "performance art". Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section)#First sentence, the first sentence should: "[put] the article in context". As you yourself argue, "art" seems the appropriate context for "performance art", even obviously so. However, other possible contexts could include "art history", "formal analysis", etc. Hyacinth (talk) 00:57, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably the term "performance art" being the first "translation trap", what is the second? Hyacinth (talk) 11:57, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

-Hi Fluss, you're welcome! I'm glad to be of service. I generally import edits from the [[Nost:Wikipedia:General disclaimer|Nostalgia Wikipedia]], but I'm happy to help out with requests from other wikis as well.
-==Visual arts request==
-Hi Fluss, I saw your request on the Visual Arts page and will be happy to take a look later this afternoon.  Very nice job for a non-native speaker.  I see a couple of ideas for phrasing, but overall I'm very impressed (especially when I think of how hard it is for me to phrase the latin languages).  It's great of you to work on it!--[[User:CaroleHenson|CaroleHenson]] ([[User talk:CaroleHenson|talk]]) 16:03, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
-:I took a look at the first article on the VA project page, [[Performance]] and made a couple of edits.  The key item brought up was the cultural distinction between audience participation.  I couldn't find any reliable references for the study by Rhea Grace Fortalejo - but I found a couple of bits about cultural variation in books.google.com and provided the references which may help with adding more references.  If you'd like any further input, let me know, I'd be happy to help in a way that best suits you.  Take care and happy writing!--[[User:CaroleHenson|CaroleHenson]] ([[User talk:CaroleHenson|talk]]) 04:13, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
-::Oh, you are talking with mirror-neurons switched on ;-). A relief of the male telegram style. My request on the visual arts page meanwhile had been "healed" by excellent contributors. In [[Barbara Weil|this article]] by a friendly copyeditor and at [[Performance Art]] mostly by user:modernist. It is far above my abilities now, to open further knots, in the phrasing at those two articles, on one hand for people who are not "fluent in art" and on the other hand for people who are "very fluent in art". If you still find such a trick for the B. Weil article, there is a couple of reasons to be careful with the implementation. If it is more than a minor change, suggesting it in the discussion at the article would be a good idea. If you find something for Performance Art, doing changes immediately is nearly no risk. Your contributions at [[Performance]] make much sense to me. My view is a bit biased: one of my subjects in life is cultural anthropology ;-) I wish I would have a new article needing your help, but there is no.
-::I see, you are active at commons. My next task, getting one or two photographs of the beautiful works of B. Weil into her article, will be with the licence bureaucracy and nice exchanges with the holders of the rights.
-::I had initiated a couple of articles around feminism and contemporary art in de:wikipedia. Meanwhile, like [[de:Frauen in der Kunst]] they have grown to be rock solid. Might be something in it for en:wikipedia too, but this is far future. I brought [[Carolee Schneemann]] into german. So, in de:wikipedia I got a flair of Orlando.
-::Regarding Van Gogh, I am no expert, though I like his work much. My abilities in the english universe are limited. I need to bring down my activites in wikipedia in general anyway. Nevertheless, if I might be useful for any of your wikipedia activities, let me know.--[[User:Fluss|fluss]] ([[User talk:Fluss#top|talk]]) 07:28, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

-==HA Schult==
-As you are able to read German texts and seem to have some interest in modern art, may I ask you for a third opinion on [[Talk:HA Schult]]? There is a content dispute on [[HA Schult]]. One editor frequently removes what I have written, although I think that all was well sourced. Here are some diffs: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HA_Schult&diff=507389123&oldid=507388626] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HA_Schult&diff=507405053&oldid=507404393] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HA_Schult&diff=507405303&oldid=507405053] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HA_Schult&diff=507405788&oldid=507405303] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HA_Schult&diff=507406529&oldid=507405951] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HA_Schult&diff=507406972&oldid=507406529] [[User:Wikiwiserick|Wikiwiserick]] ([[User talk:Wikiwiserick|talk]]) 19:56, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
