Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Portrait of a Young Girl (Christus) to FA status recently. I know you know all about WP:TFAR (specific and non-specific date slots) and the "pending" list, so this is just a reminder to use them as and when suits you. Many thanks.

Hi Johnbod. Thank you again for whipping The Banquet of Cleopatra up from a tiny stub to a proper encyclopedia article. I generally hang out at the shite pipe Wikipedia:New pages patrol and don't write much much content, so being involved with a DYK means a lot to me. Thank you again!

Hello John, I hope this message finds you well. I reach out to you as community liason of Wikimedia Program Evaluation initiative. I have sent you a couple emails before, but with no success. I was wondering if we could schedule an interview next week. I am going through a list of participants to the Evaluation Workshop that took place in Budapest in 2013, to learn how participants find themselves with regard to evaluation a year after the workshop took place. Please let me know what time works best for you. Best wishes, MCruz (WMF) (talk) 23:19, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Egyptian faience may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Egyptian faience, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Lotus and Middle Kingdom. 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.

Hi Johnbod, I've put Christus's Nativity up for peer review here, hoping to have a go at FAC and a xmas TFA. I'd like your input, when you have time. It's a more complicated painting than I expected and some of the sections would definitely benefit from another set of eyes. Just as an fyi, because I'm stacked up with work between now and Dec. progress will be slow, so I thought I should get it going sooner rather than later. Thanks.

Hi John, I'm working on September Morn and will likely push for GA and FA.

Medical Translation Newsletter
Issue 2, Aug./Sept. 2014
by CFCF
During August we have translated Disease and it is now live in more than 60 different languages! To help us focus on African languages Rubric has donated a large number of articles in languages we haven't previously reached–so a shout out them, and Ian Henderson from Rubric who's joined us here at Wikipedia. We're very happy for our continued collaboration with both Rubric and Translators without Borders!
At Wikimania there were so many enthusiastic people jumping at the chance to help out the Medical Translation Project, but unfortunately not all of them knew how to get started. That is why we've been spending considerable time writing and improving guides! They are finally live, and you can find them at our home-page!
We're proud to announce a new sign up page at WP:MTSIGNUP! The old page was getting cluttered and didn't allow you to speficy a role. The new page should be easier to sign up to, and easier to navigate so that we can reach you when you're needed!
Translations are of both full articles and shorter articles continues. The process where short articles are chosen for translation hasn't been fully transparent. In the coming months we hope to have a first guide, so that anyone who writes medical or health articles knows how to get their articles to a standard where they can be translated! That's why we're currently working on medical good lede criteria! The idea is to have a similar peer review process to good article nominations, but only for ledes.
I'm going to be doing some editing on the various Tudor artists and portraits - there have been some reassessments of attributions that need attention (the Armada portraits are no longer firmly attributed to Gower and seem to be from three different workshops, and the attribution of the Darnley portrait of Elizabeth to Zuccaro has been rejected). I have the NPG companion volume to the Real Tudors exhibit which gives good sources on some of these, and there's info on the NPG website about the work from their research project Making Art in Tudor Britain.
Have you seen the video on the conservation and cleaning of the Phoenix Portrait? Great stuff. Link here. http://www.arthistorynews.com/articles/2999_Cleaning_Elizabeth_I - PKM (talk) 17:17, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

I've added a bit on melancholy in 16th and 17th century visual arts to Melancholia - I suppose this could use an entire article of its own at some point, but at least the visual arts get a mention now. [Oh and by the way I've added what Strong describes as the earliest known melancholic portrait in England to Commons. Elizabeth Goldring's work makes a very convincing case for this being Robert Sidney in mourning for his brother Sir Philip Sidney, which begs the question of whether this is fashionable melancholy at all or something else entirely.

Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for the edits on the Gospel Book article and say I think it looks a lot better! I'm sorry I called the article "a bit of a mess"; I'm the first to admit it was unfairly harsh. It did have a few issues, but thanks to you it now both looks nice and is an interesting read.

Hi John,
Due to this recent deletion discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Members of the French Royal Families the link to Members of the French Royal Families#John_II_of_France_.281319.E2.80.931364.2C_r.1350.E2.80.931364.29 (piped to display as "French royal family") in the second section of Royal Gold Cup became red. Someone has now removed the link altogether. Perhaps you know of a better place to link it to now. I don't know what that complicated link was referring to so I don't want to just change it to the biography of John II of France lest you had a more specific think you meant.

Hey, I noticed partial reversions of a couple edits of mine that you made on Islamic art (relevant edit) and Islamic architecture (relevant edit), making reference to WP:CITEVAR with regards to reference style consistency. When I made those edits, I considered that rule, but judged that it did not apply because the citation style doesn't appear to be consistent on either page—each page contains other {{cite book}} templates and others in the same family (i.e. {{cite journal}}), so I was not disrupting an established style. I'm not going to undo your reversion—the difference means little to me—but in future, please don't misapply that rule to (partially) revert good-faith changes like mine. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits}} 18:32, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi John, you are hereby invited to the South Coast Meetup.
Hi John. I've closed the discussion and merged the articles. Normally closure would be done by a third party, but as we both agree and have had no objections in over a year, I thought it was reasonable to do it myself. Please read through the merged article if you have time and check if it makes sense. I've introduced additional sections to try and clarify the structure.

Hi! I see you had an argument in the talkpage of article Chartered Financial Analyst with user ThoseArentMuskets. There he said that "I guess your edits that call it "an international designation offered by American-based organization" are fine. It's unnecessarily complicated, but I think I'm OK with it as a compromise. I'll revert it to that.". However, half-year later he once again removed that edit in this edit with a 'honest' mention of "rm complicated language". I thought you might want to ask him why he did that.

Hallo Johnbod, I have to inform you that I undid this edit of yours in Saint Joseph. I must admit that I can't understand why you removed my correction of early this morning. And I don't know what prompts you to make the statement "Joseph stays in Bethlehem for an unspecified period (perhaps two years) until after the visit of the Three Magi". I hope you realize that this is about the gospel of Matthew (the only one who tells the story of the magi). And Matthew wrote: "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem." So the visit by the magi is right after the birth of Jesus, as the flight to Egypt is right after this visit. Regards, Paul K. (talk) 23:23, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Sorry did not ck if anyone active. Aristocracy by nature is pompous, I found most other entries use "house of" as you point out, and I would continue to use that format, even though I agree it is somewhat over the top, but family has too low-brow a denomination. The Gambino mob family is a family, and not a house. Becuase many of the aristocratic names live on in structures, "house" is not a inappropriate apellation, it has more connotations. If you wish we can bring this up for debate.
Rococo1700 (talk) 18:12, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
I did not survey all other aristocratic categories: the Category:German noble families is definitely tilted to using the term "House of". The other point, and again, I am not defending aristocratic humbug, but titles of aristocratic lines (houses) have rules of inheritance that are not required by families. I was interested in translating the article on the serrata and aristocracy of Venice as an elucidation of how that oligarchic republic was run. I suspect that less than 30% of the names (over the five or so centuries, less than 500 families) merit a category, typically families with Doges. Ultimately, I still favor the term "House of", but not dead set. Maybe we should look at see what the Italian Wikipedia chose.Rococo1700 (talk) 07:32, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Italian Wikipedia categories use some "family" type category, thus I will try to match "when in Rome....", that is from now on, I will try to move or add new entries in that format using family, although I still not 100% convinced. Rococo1700 (talk) 04:37, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Have a question about the changes you made to some text which I had written on the Gilbert Stuart page, noting the current location of The Athenaeum portrait of George Washington as the National Portrait Gallery, which you edited to say that it was on display at the NPG as of late 2014. Is this a standard practice to fix hanging locations in time rather than note that a work's current location? Is it something specific to multi-owner works like The Anthenaeum? The Stuart page had for several years included text that the work "now hangs in Boston's Museum of Fine Arts," which was for at least 18 months (to my knowledge) an incorrect statement, as it had been on display in DC for at least that time frame. Would like to be clear if I encounter this type of text elsewhere. AFox83 (talk) 22:08, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Johnbod,
The Wimbledon Common page is in need of a name change and since you were so helpful with the MSPB page I thought I'd ask for help again with it. Really this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimbledon_Common is a page for Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath. The commons are managed in conjunction by the same body and are in every respect to be treated as one.
There is no Putney Heath page (and there should not be). Despite the common being locally known as "Wimbledon Common" this is not the name of the site. I have posted on the talk page indicating such.
Can you be of help?

Johnbod, I wasn't sure whether you'd gotten the ping: you wanted to know when the nomination was ready for further reviewing, and the nominator seems to be indicating that it is. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:01, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Greetings, Johnbod. I've made some of the changes you suggested to Mano Blanca, and I'd be grateful if you'd take a look at the nomination again. I actually did it a few days ago and pinged you, but I've heard of several instances of pings not working, so I thought I'd drop you a message as well. If you've simply been busy, then apologies.

Do your worst. – iridescent 18:53, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
I am not following your concerns, and I would ask you to be a little more explicit in what perspective it is that you want the article to include. To me the common usage of "culture" to refer to the artistic expressions particularly of elite groups or exotic ethnic groups is simply a common superficial and analytically pedestrian use of the word in the same way that most people use the word "grammar" to refer to punctuation and spelling. I think that concept belongs in the article the arts. But I am of course willing to educate myself and include other views in so far as they can be shown to be relevant through sources that are about specifically culture. If you can point me to some sources that you think are representatives of the view of culture that you mean to include that would be very helpful.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 20:20, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Johnbod,
It looks like Romanticism is alive and well in terms of page views, as it shows up in the most recent weekly top 5000 report with a very respectable ranking. So it looks like in this era of mobile devices, we should not trust the grok.se page count, but rather the weekly top 5000 page count as our guide to which pages are most viewed. Thanks for the interesting discussion of that issue on the Core contest page. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 02:36, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello John, You're receiving this update because you asked to be informed about the Wikipedia Science Conference taking place in London on 2nd and 3rd of September. Thanks for your interest.
The call for proposals is now public and session proposals are coming in. The two keynotes, and some other invited speakers, have graciously accepted. In mid-May we will bring together a programme, a publicity poster, and an online booking form. Then we'll begin the main publicity and will need your help getting the word out.
Please put in a session proposal if you've been thinking of doing so: the deadline is the 8th May. This is far from the only way to be involved. The conference will need session moderators, a programme review group, and other volunteers: if there is a specific role you are interested in, or if you have any other questions, please email me at m.l.poulterbristol.ac.uk.
There will be a large "unconference" session in the programme and - fingers crossed - a "hackathon" event two days later on the Saturday, so even if you do not have a proposal accepted, you will have a chance to shape the conference activities.
Please pass on the word to any colleagues who might want to put in a proposal or help the conference in any way. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 12:17, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
You can't be serious. We're talking about the lead—you're saying that nearly a quarter of the lead of this 3000-year-old city should be taken up with news in progress? Those details should be in the body, not the lead. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 03:52, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
To be honest, I don't know anything more about restoration than I put in the transfer of panel paintings article. It's just something I researched because it seemed to demand an explanation. But my general feeling is that there needs to be a quite explicit description of the procedure. Unfortuately I have't been able to watch the videos and a lot of the the Manchester Art Gallery links are coming up as 404 not found. If the old canvas was entirely removed the article should say something along the lines of "the paint layer was removed from the original canvas and attached to a new one" or "the original canvas was removed from the back of the paint layer and a new one attached". However is this actually what was done? The quotes here from a restorer implies that it was a less drastic relining with the original canvas left in place, and only what is described, rather obscurely as "a 1930s glue lining" removed. http://issuu.com/potion/docs/mga_mag_p1-36/32

Hi John, Long time no speak! Hope all's well with you! I've just wanted to point you to a couple of things that art history related things that are going on in York at the moment. Firstly, I've managed to start an Art History WikiClub with the student art history society at the University. We've only met once so far but I thought you might want to keep an eye on it and possibly partner with keener editors (should they emerge!?). Hopefully, they'll get keen and they're access to resources will lead to great things! Also, we're getting more and more of York Art Gallery's collection up (CommonsCat here) and there are potentially some useful images. I'm getting my head around the GWToolset but in the meantime you can download and reuse images from the online collection as you wish: YMT Online collections. Let me know if you have any thoughts! Unfortunately other art collections in the region have been a little sluggish responding but fingers crossed. Cheers, PatHadley (talk) 12:28, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Not sure if you're the right person to ask, but thought I'd check, since I know you're knowledgeable on art topics. I'm getting rid of thousands of books, and among them are some collections single-artist coffee table books. In many cases these books are worth essentially nothing; I can sell them on eBay for maybe a dollar or two. Am I right in thinking that if I slice out the pages and scan the pictures I can upload them to commons? The books are published in the 60s to 80s, generally, but of course I'm only talking about paintings that were painted before 1923. Is this worth doing? Or are most well-known artists now well represented on commons? It's not zero effort, so I'd rather not unless it has value. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 12:01, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
In regard to Elamites being 'the' ancestors of the Persians.
I appreciate that you acknowledge the page's lack of credibility, however I do not recall the theory claiming that Persians were descended from Elamites, let alone that Elamites were 'the' ancestor of the Persians. I only recall it claiming that perhaps Elamites were descended from Elam-- an entirely separate topic of controversy I do not currently care to discuss-- as opposed to simply being an individual people of Haltamti.
Would you please either revert it to my previous edit, or at least include a citation which states that the theory refers to Elamites as the sole ancestor of the Persians?
I understand that, but I am asking for proof that they even believed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pahlavan Qahremani (talk • contribs) 15:35, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

I would appreciate it if you add that Josephus believed it. Because it appears as though Josephus only believed Elamites came from Elam, and that the person who added this to the Wikipedia page believed Persians came from Elamites. Please add the citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pahlavan Qahremani (talk • contribs) 16:53, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi. You did EXACTLY what I predicted on the article's talk page: instead of fixing the problem (art. IS A MESS, USELESS for the user who needs the basic info), you quoted some WP guideline that is NOT meant as a crutch for lazy editing, and removed... whatever I did to make the art. OF SOME PRACTICAL USE. WP is not meant as a playground for players of logic games, i.e. "how can I respect all guidelines", but as a WORK OF REFERENCE put out there TO OFFER GOOD, CONCISE INFO. For those who cannot grasp it, editing WP is a disservice to the users. Arminden (talk) 01:13, 21 May 2015 (UTC)Arminden
