yes, Rodin's works could use a quality cleanup on commons each work has a page and translation drop down box, i.e. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Le_Penseur
on english there is a art list template https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Auguste_Rodin the artwork articles need improvement - need art history expert editor
maybe you could borrow the wikidata matrix from the recent europeana art contest to spur translations https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Europeana_Art_History_Challenge
cheers

Hi everyone.
This June, Wikimedia Mexico will run the editathon* 72 hours with Rodin* a huge journey from June 9 to 12 at Museo Soumaya[1]. This time we're trying to break our previous record (60 continuous hours), this time we're trying to achieve an even greater marathon: more than 70 continuous hours editing Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata and Wikisource. We are celebrating the arrival to the museum of one of Auguste Rodin's masterpieces: ''The Gates of Hell'', so, we will have a celebration about art and free knowledge which will include talks, theater pieces, guided tours, workshops and fun time activities as karaoke nights. You saw it at Wikimania, Wikimedia Mexico volunteers love fun also :) The museum will be open also to public during that 72 hours.
The editathon will focus on Auguste Rodin works and the Museo Soumaya collections, but beyond that we have higher goals like completing the full list of museums in Mexico and at least 50 biographies on importan women in art and feminism as part of our permanent and transversal Gender Gap Reduction Strategy. In this list (in Spanish)[2] you can find more about the event and the list of articles. As in other editathons at Museo Soumaya[3], we are inviting all Wikimedia chapters and affiliates to join this effort and support us translating articles to more languages. As you can see in the list, this time we are doing a detailed logistic which involves pairing Wikimedia Mexico volunteers with museum staff (researchers and/or curators), aiming to increase experience of the museum’s staff on Wikipedia.
*72 hours with Rodin* will pursuit to set a new record and it’s an event prepared since January, escalating in intensity since two months ago with the coordination by Andrés Cruz y Corro (User:Andycyca), head of volunteers in Wikimania 2015. As a matter of fact, 60% of the Wikimania 2015 Yellow Army will be present on the event.
We will love to have support from Wikimedia community in the translation of the articles produced in the editathon to more languages of the globe. Please don’t hesitate if you want to join the editathon!
Best,
Iván Martínez President Wikimedia Mexico
