Talk:Vase with Twelve Sunflowers
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Name[[edit source]]
Where we gettin' this name from? It's not the real life name of the piece, and I don't recall it from the script, so where's it from?

- You're pretty quick. Well I had to call it something. Check out Wikipedia:Sun Flowers (Van Gogh Series). The initial versions. Picture three. Original version of this painting. They call it "Sunflowers, third version." Good enough for the title for me. --SOTO ☎ 16:25, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Unless you'd rather it be called something long and confusing like "Painting with sunflowers," or, even worse, "Painting with sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh." I think the current title is most suitable... – The preceding unsigned comment was added by SmallerOnTheOutside (talk • contribs) .
- The writing next to the painting in the gallery is a bit too small to read, but it's clearly one word. Knowing that it's Sunflowers, in looks conceivable in the pic. Do you want me to upload the picture to here, so you can see? --SOTO ☎ 16:32, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
- I've pumped the little placard up using all sorts of magnifying tools at my disposal and I just don't see the word "Sunflowers". It might be there but it's really not clear. Therefore, I'm much more in favour of calling this thing by its real world long-form name: Still Life: Vase with Twelve Sunflowers than effectively "inventing" the name Sunflowers. Don't be fooled by the Wikipedia page; they're just abbreviating for convenience there. The longer name comes from van Gogh's own writings.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ 17:34: Sun 17 Feb 2013- Well I'm certain that, in universe, it's name has only one word. Speculation, but obviously that one word has to be either "Sunflower" or "Sunflowers," the latter making the most sense, as there are twelve sunflowers in the painting. I mean, what else would he call it? "Vase?" But, I suppose, speculation...
- Wikipedia:Vincent and the Doctor seems to call it "Vase with 12 Sunflowers." That name didn't come from nowhere... --SOTO ☎ 17:46, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
- The linked website at the bottom uses the same title for this: http://www.vggallery.com/misc/sunflowers.htm. Otherwise, it's Vase with 15 Flowers. Let's count the flowers... --SOTO ☎

Bringing this back all the way to the left. Counted. Twelve flowers. And in all the same places (and same shapes) as Vase with Twelve Sunflowers. Also the closest on the site to the in-universe painting. I therefore suggest we name this page "Vase with Twelve Sunflowers." --SOTO ☎ 17:57, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
- Otherwise known as "Still Life: Vase with Twelve Sunflowers." I think the former should be the title, although the latter can be mentioned in the article as an alternative title.– The preceding unsigned comment was added by SmallerOnTheOutside (talk • contribs) .
