Different artworks? Different pages?..

Hello editors,

I have a question about Follow my dreams page. It is about a hand-painted mural by the italian artist TVBoy in 2022 in the city of Barcelona. This mural was originally called "Super Alexia" where you could read in the background the phrase: "Follow your dreams" with the footballer Alexia Putellas stepped out painted in a Superwoman outfit with a cape clearly visible on her back. In 2023, due to the multitude of vandalism acts, the artist decided to redo the mural, but neither the phrase nor the drawing of the player were the same. You can see the clear differences with the 2022 painting: and the 2023 updated painting:

In the Talk:Follow my dreams I proposed to make different articles because the new painting of 2023 should be treated as a completely different one even if it is located in the same place and on top of the old painting. The painting and the message in the background is totally different as you can read in the article:

Throughout history, many painters have painted over other paintings and they have never been treated as updates of these but yes as a different works. It is currently an active dispute with user Kingsif that recently moved the page (Super Alexia to Follow my dreams) and reverses the edits I made because he wants to fix the date of the old 2022 painting but the name "Follow my dreams" was created in the year 2023 not in 2022.

What do you think?

Art collective infobox

I have created a prototype of an infobox for artist collectives (after struggling to use the general artist one for graffiti crews) and the instructions for creating infoboxes says to seek advice from the relevant WikiProject before publishing it - which I believe is this one. The infobox is here in my sandbox. I appreciate any feedback very much! -- NotCharizard 12:36, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, this will be appropriate for very few articles, I think. Johnbod (talk) 17:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Desperate work needed on the page Artist.

The page for "Artist" is in a depressing state. When compared to pages for "Scientist" and "Engineer" it is obviously below the quality we should expect. Even compared to more specific occupations, such as "Plumber", "Aircraft pilot," and "Graphic designer," the page for Artist looks embarrassingly thin and poorly sourced. For example, Artist has an entire section on "Dictionary definitions" that seems to copy paste dictionary definitions from the Oxford English Dictionary without actually citing the dictionary, or quoting its definitions.

I understand that some high level articles don't get much attention as people are more interested in their niche interests, but this is among the worst pages I've seen on Misplaced Pages for topics that are taught at the elementary school level. The park by my university has a more comprehensive page. It is beyond my expertise to bring this page up to the level I'd expect for such an important topic, so I'm posting it here in the hopes it attracts the attention of an expert in Theory of art, or Art history. Thank you for your help and time. GeogSage 18:58, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
