Church murals in Sweden

Hi there, Yakikaki. I've just been looking through the latest version of this article. You've really made enormous improvements, so much so that it looks to me as if it could be a candidate for GA. Congratulations too on your work on Lund Cathedral. A few years ago, after developing the article on Uppsala Cathedral, I had considered working on it too but then decided to spend most of my time on contributing to articles on women. One of these days, I hope to spend more time on Scandinavian churches.--Ipigott (talk) 08:59, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello Ipigott, so nice to hear from you! Thank you for your kind words, it's been fun and challenging to do these. I'm much indebted to you who encouraged me early on, gave inspiration and helped me out with some tricky English terms — it's still the trickiest part of these articles, finding the right English words for some rather technical terms. I am considering putting the church murals up for GA review after it's been on DYK, so I'm happy to see you think it might be a good idea. Let me know if you'd like to cooperate on some church or art-related things eventually. I think you're doing a wonderful and important work with these biographies of women, it's work that really makes a change here on Wikipedia. Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 09:08, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Book of Hours

Hi, Yakikaki. You're welcome! Now a couple of tweaks I'd like to suggest that I can't see how to do. In the bibliography you have:

"Les manuscripts enluminés pour Jeanne de France, duchesse de Bourbon" [The illuminated manuscripts of Jeanne de France, duchess of Bourbon].

In French, there's no p in manuscrit(s); and a better English translation would be: (the) manuscripts illuminated for Jeanne de France...

Cheers! Awien (talk) 13:56, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Awien, thanks for pointing this out! I've fixed it now. Best, Yakikaki (talk) 08:56, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for making the fix. Awien (talk) 00:32, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Pyrenean Mountain Dog DYK

Yakikaki, my apologies I have just realised I never thanked you properly for your review at Template:Did you know nominations/Pyrenean Mountain Dog, thank you very much for prompt review. Kind regards, Cavalryman (talk) 04:13, 12 July 2021 (UTC).

July 2021

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Yvoire. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Eric ^talk 12:49, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Eric, what's promotional about it? It's a perfectly normal navbox linking articles which have a subject in common. Yakikaki (talk) 12:52, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi- It looks travel-guide-ish to me. I don't claim to be an authority on this, but I suspect WP:NOTTRAVEL might apply. Les Plus Beaux Villages de France is an association to promote tourism. I've spent time in several of those villages, and yes, they are pretty. But I think it's debatable as to whether that tourism designation adds value to our encyclopedia articles. Eric ^talk 13:52, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply and for sharing your thoughts and concerns, Eric. Well, I'm honestly a bit taken aback by this, as my edits were perfectly innocent. And I can't see anything in any of the guidelines you refer to which would make adding a navbox of this kind contrary to the spirit of Wikipedia. There's no promotional material here, nobody's encouraging anyone to use the services of this association or anything similar. There's no puffery. There's no breaking NPOV. There's nothing which runs contrary to what the fine essay on advertisement warns about. It's a normal navbox, linking several articles on the same subject (and as such I may say it's almost a school book example of what navboxes should do). I frankly don't care if those villages are beautiful or ugly or whatever. I just wanted to add a convenient way for the interested reader to easily navigate between several articles on a common theme. (For some of them, there are no other navboxes, by the way.) I hope this may convince you that it's not a nasty attempt at tricking people to travel to France! ;) Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 14:04, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

I certainly did not mean to imply anything nefarious or even incorrect on your part. I'm just not convinced that we should be in the business of categorizing villages as being designated "pretty" by a tourism association. But I'm just one voice here. I just wanted to get you and others to think about it. You should carry on with your project if you feel it has value. Eric ^talk 16:04, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
