Article needs work

[edit]

Having come across Saint Michael Fighting the Dragon from an outside angle, and then been drawn into reading the Apocalypse (Dürer) and Albrecht Dürer articles, I found there is IMHO a huge disparity of quality between them. The Dürer page is great, but the Apocalypse page is weak (short on info, with no link to the St.M D page, and no St.M D pic in its gallery) and the St.M D page is poor (overpacked with info, half of which - the Background section - should be on the Apocalypse page instead). It would be good to see the St.M D page reduced and the Apocalypse page expanded by transfer of info from St.M D, and the addition of single sentence descriptions in Apocalypse for each of the 15 woodcuts, with links to the St.M D page (and any others of the series) set in. I'll give it a go if nobody in Wiki Project Visual Arts objects, although I don't have their reference books or expert knowledge. I've read several of the Talk pages at Dürer, Woodcut, Old Master Print etc. and can see that they keep a hot eye on Dürer-associated pages due to occasional vandalism and amateur meddling. But if the above improvements aren't already scheduled by Wiki Project Visual Arts, then I'd like to try and clean up the Apocalypse and St.M D pages so that when other pages get created (The 4 Horsemen for example) they'll start on a better basis.

Sounds good; sadly there is no schedule! There might be a case for merging them completely, or at least starting any new prints as sections rather than articles, at least initially. Johnbod (talk) 05:33, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
