Talk:Caravaggio

Persuasive Tone

I feel many parts if the article, especially the biography, has an argumentative tone, as if it is an essay being written to convince someone of something. The sixth paragraph under the heading "Beginnings in Rome" states that one of his paintings, "is even more psychologically complex, and perhaps Caravaggio's first true masterpiece." The job of an encyclopedia is not to tell the reader what to think of a painting, artist, politician, etc., it is to inform the reader. Overall, I think some major clean up is needed.

I agree that this article requires serious re-editing. Caravaggio is an important artist and one would expect at least a B rated article. Too much opinion and not enough references. Research since 2011 by Graham-Dixon of the murder of Thomassoni is very convincing that it was a prearranged duel. The argument over a Tennis match was a smokescreen that held for three centuries. It was concocted because duelling was punishable by death. Dorkinglad (talk) 22:29, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Help with missing article

I was asked to create a wikipedia article for Dr. Roberta Lapucci, who I work with, she is a renowned art historian, publish author, university professor, conservator etc. Clearly at the top of her field but somehow missing from here other than her materials being used as foundational reference for this page. What's the correct way to approach this? Should I recuse myself and ask someone here to take care of this omission or, given her clear academic merits, can I submit a draft and disclose my working relationship with dr Lapucci?
