@Maxbeirut: The change of image in this article has been reverted. When preparing this article during a featured article review, we could not establish whether it was published or whether it is in public domain based on photographer's death, as we have no evidence of when the Swiss photographer Alex Ehrenzweig died (see discussion under images here).

Ehrenzweig appears to be most prolific in the 1920s. If any of us can be established that he died before 1956, as copyright is life of author + 70 years, we can put that information in the Wiki Media image and replace the current image. Wtfiv (talk) 17:11, 8 April 2026 (UTC)[]

It's been on Wikimedia Commons for years. The profile photograph doesn't deserve Featured status I'm afraid... we need portraits. If you have issues, make a discussion on Wikimedia Commons. Until then, the photo is kosher Maxbeirut (talk) 17:17, 8 April 2026 (UTC)[]

There are many pictures on the commons that are not out of copyright, but haven't been challenged. To meet featured article criteria, we need to adhere to copyright laws. I'm open to the picture chose and willing to guess that it may be past copyright, but without knowing when the author died this is difficult to determine. The photograph wasn't published and without date of death, it'd be best to follow the 120 year rule (i.e., 2037). I'll take it to Wikipedia talk:Copyrights to see what more informed editors have to say. Wtfiv (talk) 22:10, 8 April 2026 (UTC)[]

Per our image use policy, we'd need to be able to prove the image is in the public domain before being able to use it as such. If we cannot do that, we cannot use the image, regardless of what Commons may do. Restoring previous version pending resolution.

What is known about the image's provenance? Nikkimaria (talk) 00:04, 9 April 2026 (UTC)[]

It should be noted that Beach went to great lengths to get Ulysses published, with her own money, and that Joyce sold the rights to a major publishing house without compensating Beach for her help, without which Ulysses may never have been published at all. Dunderbus1448 (talk) 14:58, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[]

Did you mean the sale to Harriet Shaw Weaver's Egoist Press, in October 1922? Maybe this detail belongs more at Ulysses, where Beach is hardly mentioned? Martinevans123 (talk) 12:55, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[]

Joyce's financial relationships with many of the people he worked with was frequently fraught. I think this specific instance is already covered in more detail in the Sylvia Beach article, so readers who are interested can read more there. I agree with Martinevans123 suggestion that Beach's metaphoric role as "midwife" to the novel- as Joyce puts it- and Joyce's decision to sell to Random House deserves expansion in the Ulysses article. Overall, its a tangled tale of personal relationships, censorship, copyright status, and money. Wtfiv (talk) 22:28, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[]

Though this article has many citations, much of it seems driven by a single journal article, Loukopoulou 2025, who focuses on Pavlos Phocās article on Joyce in aLondon-based Greek-language newspaper. It is Phocās who makes the claim about Joyce's philhellenism and comparing him to others. Joyce's interest in modern Greek and meeting Phocās is now in the Zurich section.

The mention of Greek Orthodox liturgy is already in the article. Information from this entry was used to slightly expand it to include Finnegans Wake.

The article doesn't use long block quotes. The quote illustrates an interest in Modern Greek, but does not express a sense of political panhellism.

The mention of the blue colour of Ulysses is interesting and might be worth putting in the Ulysses article. But the cited newspaper article, which is referencing Ellman isn't referencing the color in view of panhellenism, but in reference to Greek mythology and Homer.

The point about learning Modern Greek, meeting Phocas, and being mentioned by him in the London Greek-language newspaper as a panhellenist has been added in the Zurich section. The mention of Greek Orthodox liturgy in Finnegans Wake is added to the Trieste section, which already mention its role in Ulysses. Wtfiv (talk) 20:25, 30 May 2026 (UTC)[]

Valid. I didn't know where to put my additions, so I decided to create a new section instead. But I think that they're better structured now, so I agree with your revisions. Trabzonluyuz-rumuz-elhamdulillah (talk) 22:33, 30 May 2026 (UTC)[]

Lurker here. Agree that Trabzonluyuz additions were valid, but just not on the bio. Ceoil (talk) 00:50, 31 May 2026 (UTC)[]
