Second Impressionist Exhibition[edit]

Just saw that you had created the page for the second. Nice. Lots of work and a very good result. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:51, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those are the same bad sources as last time[edit]

History of the chair - I'm very tired of having to deal with the same bad edit over and over. Simonm223 (talk) 16:37, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those are not the same "bad sources" that were previously removed. The source mentioned on the talk page as being bad was a page on the Brooklyn Museum website that only briefly mentioned the subject (This page). The only other source was The Wilson Quarterly, which is reputable journal, though it only covered African chairs in a couple of paragraphs. I added three published book sources that were no there before. Two of those sources cover African stools and chairs significantly, and the other is a more general history of the chair.

At least the first of those sources does not actually support that chairs were absent. The portugese introduced European-style chairs and "elbow chairs". That's different from introduced chairs. Simonm223 (talk) 16:59, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did not say the Portuguese introduced chairs. I said the Portuguese introduced European-style chairs, as the source says. GranCavallo (talk) 17:01, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have also removed the word "backed" from the sentence in the lead to better reflect the text in the sources. GranCavallo (talk) 17:03, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And also from under the "Sub-Saharan African chairs" heading. GranCavallo (talk) 17:05, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you kindly for your adjustments there. I've no further complaints. Simonm223 (talk) 18:42, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
