Title

The draft currently, and I think rightly, talks about portraits of people other than Mao. This doesn't match its current title. How about retitling it "Portraits overlooking Tiananmen"? -- Hoary (talk) 00:18, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hoary Hehe, please do. I thought "Portraits overlooking Tiananmen" is the name of the work. Don't mind me, you can also make other necessary changes as I would be fine with it. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:41, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Opening sentence

I read:

Portraits overlooking Tiananmen is a hand-painted, framed, oil portrait of Chairman Mao Zedong overlooks Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China.

Putting aside the grammar mistake, this seems to imply that there exists an art work whose title is Portraits overlooking Tiananmen (or anyway some title in Chinese that could reasonably be so englished). There is not. I'll wager that there never has been. The article explains that a succession of portraits have overlooked Tiananmen: usually, one at a time; but for a short period, two.

(The portrait may have a title; the article doesn't say. Karkafs Desiderium, do you happen to know about the titles of some or all of these portraits?) -- Hoary (talk) 13:37, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The portrait of Mao and that of Kai both have no name, they are simply portraits of them. Karkafs Desiderium (talk) 16:53, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
