Bust vs Portrait
[edit]Hi GiovanniPen, you merged "Bust" bust (Q17489160) to "portrait at bust length" bust (Q241045) - oh, big mess, now the German word describes a three-dimensional object while the english term describes any portrait, even a painting! I dont know the other languages. What can we do now to keep the difference? Change the English description? -- Gerd Fahrenhorst (talk) 18:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- hi @Gerd Fahrenhorst. i dont think that "portrait at bust length" is relevant alone/in this way (in case as subcase or part of portrait): maybe was caused from Category:Portraits at bust length (Q60699593). in addiction in italian (like in other languages) the description was the same and there isn't (imho) any dualism. GiovanniPen (talk) 20:15, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerd Fahrenhorst: as the title of this discussion, it could be a bust (and i think we all intend a sculpture of the upper body) or it will be just a portrait (or eventually a more specific subcase, but not a sculpture). GiovanniPen (talk) 20:26, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- anyway ofc we can keep both distinct elements if needed but not as it was with an ambiguous description and an unclear instance definition GiovanniPen (talk) 20:29, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
