[edit] Notes on Translation

Um, I'm new here, but I just went ahead and did what was remaining of the translation. If I did it wrong, or if it's shoddy work, please feel free to send me a flame or two :)

The article's still in need of some heavy copy editing, as there is some redundant information that could be merged/rearranged. But, the Spanish part is done, and hopefully to satisfaction.

I don't know how images work, so I just left them, and their Spanish tags, well enough alone. Cheers!

Looks like a great job to me! Nice work :D -- Keithlard 00:12, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright

If I'm interpreting Wikipedia:Public_domain_image_resources#Visual_arts correctly where it says "Accurate photographs of visual artworks lack expressive content and are automatically in the public domain once the painting's copyright has expired", does that mean that any accurate photograph of The Kiss is PD?

If so, here are a couple of rather good ones:

[edit] Image of The Thinker here?

A reference to The Thinker should be enought. The Gates of Hell is understandable since you can click on it and zooom to the lower right column. There is a figure of couple there (I have not found confirmation that The Kiss was originaly located there). --JuanPDP 06:55, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. I don't think The Thinker is relevant enough to merit an image. Sophrosune (talk) 14:35, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Query

Hey You did you it well but does anyone know what process he took to make the sculpture? I really need to know for a project I am doing on him. Please just post on here. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.24.240 (talk • contribs)

Read the article. There were a number of different versions. Tyrenius —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 14:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
