Copyright infringements[edit]

Improving on this article, I noticed that large parts of the text before 15 Feb 22 were copied from the source Armenian Photography Foundation. I have started to change some of this to avoid Copyright infringements, but there is more left to rephrase. - Of course, any new text and sources I added comply with WP basic rules.

Quote by Perez on Ludwig Deutsch and Lekegian[edit]

In case somebody looks up the quote by Perez on the likeness of Lekegian's pictures and paintings by Ludwig Deutsch, you will find that Nissan N. Perez, wrote, "the details in masonry and the angle of view in Deutsch's paintings El Azhar - The Arab University in Cairo (1890) and The Scribe (1896) are doubtlessly comparable to Lekegian's photographs of the same places." - As I checked the two diffferent paintings called "The Scribe" and compared them to existing photographs of a similar site by Lekegian, I found that Perez seems to have been mistaken: The similar site is in the painting of 1911, not 1896, which shows a different background I could not find in any archive or book. - SO I changed the text of the article accordingly and added both the photograph and the painting.

Perez, Nissan N. (1988) Focus East: Early Photography in the Near East 1839-1885. New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., p. 10 talks about the "internal inconsistencies of Oriental images made by Westerners"

"To understand a work of art, an artist or a group of artists, it is necessary to represent with precision the general state of mind and ethics to which they belong. The productions of the human mind [...] could not be explained but through their environment." Hippolyte Taine (p. 13)

We should not call Armenian or categorize as Armenian[edit]

Armenian is a by nationality category. He was never a national 9f a place called Armenia. He was ethnically Aenian and would fit in categories by ethnicity for Armenians, but not the ones by nationslity.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:44, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks for clarifying. In future it would be useful for others if you could put your reasoning in the edit summary, please. -Lopifalko (talk) 17:48, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
