To learn how to fill out this checklist, please see CZ:The Article Checklist.





One of FDL's little twists: I wrote this entry for CZ; it was later copied it to WP; the WP article was subsequently expanded & edited (including a merge with their entry for "Myriorama" and a disarticulation page for that term), and now the vigilant CZ folks have noted that, indeed, there is still some identical content! True enough, but what ought to happen is that the WP article should be tagged as "includes content originally from Citizendium!" Russell Potter 06:38, 11 April 2007 (CDT)

Russell, is this not media as well as visual arts? Wasn't this a form of entertainment and education, like a slide show or lantern show would be? Nancy Sculerati 02:32, 10 June 2007 (CDT)
Hi Nancy -- yes, thanks for mentioning that; I'd meant to tag it for Media as well. It and the "parent" entry for Panoramic painting in general, are both "early media" -- nineteenth century "edutainment" indeed! Russell Potter 09:30, 10 June 2007 (CDT)

Thanks, for that word! I would love to see an actual panorama here. I wish I was good enough to do the animation. Nancy Sculerati 10:30, 10 June 2007 (CDT)

Nancy, that's a fabulous idea about animation -- or perhaps at least a scrollable window? The WP entry on Panoramic Painting has an image of "Panorama of Along the River During Ching Ming Festival, 18th century" which appears in a scrollable window. Maybe the tech folks here could mimic their template? It's not an urgent matter, but at some point it would be a great thing to have in this entry. Russell Potter 10:43, 10 June 2007 (CDT)

Template:Wide image I copied the code- you can see it if you hit edit. I don't know about this stuff. You could e-mail bugs@citizendum.org and ask them, also Chris Day is generally brilliant about wikicode. Nancy Sculerati 10:47, 10 June 2007 (CDT)
