St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria

edit

Dear user:Patriciaemateo. Welcome to Wikipedia - I hope your course with User:Rmmiller364 user:LibRiot, user:Helaine (Wiki Ed) and user:Ian (Wiki Ed) is going well. I recently came across this new article of yours Bellini's St Mark Preaching in Alexandria while I was working in Wikidata on an automatically generated list of "possible paintings" (new wikipedia articles which seem to be about paintings but don't have a matching wikidata item - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_sum_of_all_paintings/Possible_paintings. That led me to your userpage and brought me to the California_State_University_Sacramento/Renaissance_Art_(Fall_2020) dashboard. Congratulations on your article, extensive work.

However... English Wikipedia already has an article about this painting: St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria, in fact it already has an article on 7 language editions (see the bottom of its wikidata entry, here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3910087 . One of the things which ought to occur when setting up a classroom list of articles which should be created, is a check whether there is already an article on that topic - obviously something fell through the cracks in this case. As you're no-doubt aware, Wikipedia only has 1 article on any given topic, and so I've put a tag at the top of your article and the pre-existing article that your content should be carefully 'merged' into the existing article. I'm not sure whether that work can be considered within the scope of your coursework, but nonetheless, It'll need to happen eventually. As your article is more extensive than the existing article, it should be relatively easy for you to integrate your new info into that one. Once that work is done, I can 'redirect' your article's page to the page of the existing (newly improved) article. Cheers, Wittylama 15:23, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
