Wrongfull move[edit]

This article was recently moved to Marie-Suzanne Roslin. I reverted it. When you change the name of an article, you have to use the "move"-function on top. That way, the history of the article and all content will move with it. You can not create a new article with the new name and then redirect the old. The whole history will vanish. Further more, the new article was created with an entirely new contence and sources. This is of course also wrong. This gives the credit of creating the article to the wrong person, when it was in fact created by someone else. It also deletes good information from an article. If you wish to change the name of the article, you have to use the "move"-function above. You can not creat a new article when wikipedia already have one, you have to work with the one already excisting. You can change the name of this article, but you can not make a new article. You can add information, but you can not delete sourced information already there.--Aciram (talk) 12:42, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Alexander Roslin - The Lady with the Veil (the Artist's Wife) - Google Art Project.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 9, 2017. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2017-03-09. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:40, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Marie-Suzanne Giroust
Marie-Suzanne Giroust (1734–1772) was a French painter, miniaturist and pastellist. The orphaned daughter of a royal jeweler, Giroust's wealth enabled her to study painting from a young age. She was active as an artist from the 1750s, and in 1770 she became a member of the Académie de peinture et de sculpture. This portrait was completed by her husband, the Swedish painter Alexander Roslin.Painting: Alexander Roslin

This is an article Marie-Suzanne Giroust, so why was her husband's painting selected to be photo of the day, rather than one of her own paintings? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.16.111.166 (talk) 21:49, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
