Antiquities in the lead
[edit]I find this rather intriguing. "Antiquities" are usually associated with ancient Greece and Rome, hardly consistent with the interests of Seligmann. Could the correct term be "antiques"? In any case, insofar as the article does not expand on antiquities, perhaps it should be deleted from the lead? Unless, of course, you refer to paintings by 19th century artists? - Ipigott (talk) 18:42, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
I've just found a Britannica reference which refers to "antiques" which appears to me to be correct. "Antiquities" probably comes from the French "antiquités". See here. - Ipigott (talk) 19:24, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
- The finding aid I used from the Archives of American Art describes it as "Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., was counted among the foremost French and American art dealers in antiquities and decorative arts and was among the first to foster and support the growth and appreciation for collecting in the field of contemporary European art." So, that is where I got antiquities. Between you and me, I won't protest if you decide to change it. There are a few mentions in the finding aid, but, I did not feel they were relevant or really needed in the Wikipedia article. Let's change it to antiques - they did sell "antiques" too ;-) SarahStierch (talk) 19:50, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

I am quickfailing this for failure to properly use inline citations. The article has one reference that is placed at the end of almost every paragraph of text, which is tantamount to just having the reference in external links. Only one other reference is used in the bulk of the article. The article must be sourced from various WP:RS and the article must use inline citations for WP:GA. You may contest this decision at WP:GAR or you can revise and resubmit.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:02, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
