Arts: How should Wikimedia expand into covering the arts?

"The sum of all knowledge", in my view, would include knowledge about how to create works of art and knowledge coded in works of art. Right now, Wikipedia has a lot of explicit, verbal content about art, artists, history of art, particular works of art, and lots of media files in Wikimedia Commons. What forms might further expansion to cover the arts take? Drvestone 19:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Depending on operating costs, I think we should consider accepting personal comments and reviews about artistic works, rather than dismissing them as "original research". Like memorabilia at auction, these comments seem very cheap to us today, but in fifty years or a century they will be quite valuable. Those who will look back at the history of film, books, and music should not be forced to rely on lost or potentially copyrighted transcripts of forums run by internet companies, when people would freely share these comments to the public domain.
