I am trying to find a title of a drama film (possibly in black and white) about a romance relationship that was stopped by his family being Italian because it was found out that the woman had an unsavoury past.

I stumbled accidentally on a query made in 2008 regarding Constantin Silvestri's date of birth. Specifically, although his official birthdate was recorded as May 13, 1913 a note found in a publication indicated that that the date as May 31, 1913, presumably Gregorian.
This cannot be true. The difference between the cited dates is 18 days. Both my parents were born in that period (1906 and 1909 respectively) and their birth dates were October 2/October 15; and February 5/February 18. The difference for the dates at the time of the change was 13 days; the few more years until 1913 could not have added 5 days.

Hi Jack. I've undone this edit that you made because apparently WP:NAMESORT recently changed in regard to Mc's and Mac's. WP:MCSTJR now reads "Surnames beginning with Mac or Mc are sorted as they are spelled.

The New Yorker's February 6th issue has an interesting article, "The Flight of the Concord", by Jeremy Denk on playing Ives's music. The imagery is telling even to a non-player like me. The article requires payment, of course, but if the abstract appeals to you, and your local library can't assist, I can send you a photocopy. Bielle ( talk) 17:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Jack, thanks for the well-intended attention re. Madame von Meck in Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky but when her last name is used alone, the "von" is dropped as it is a title, not part of the name. The best example of this rule of usage is Herbert von Karajan. Whenever his last name is used by itself, you generally read or hear "Karajan," not "von Karajan" or "Von Karajan." Thanks for understanding. Jonyungk ( talk) 13:22, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

There's a discussion on this subject on Talk:Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky following a request for me to remove material from the Sexuality section of the article.

I shall add blue links when I feel up to a second grapple with this huge list, but meanwhile, any general thoughts, or Jackish tweaks will be most welcome.

...I'm being followed. My watchlist has just lit up like a firework display: Melba, Stanford, Bliss, Wood, Elgar, Harty, Sullivan et al. Sterling work on the cats! I think it's pushing it a bit to call Wood a composer. The occasional arrangement isn't quite the same, I'd say, but I don't press the point. I also boggle a bit at including Dames like Melba in the category Singers who have received knighthoods, but I shan't stick my oar in further. Regards as always.

Why not have Category:Organists awarded knighthoods? I can see Thalben-Ball, David Willcocks and Gillian Weir as well as Stainer just at a glance; we could have pianists too and any others where there are more than a few (so I don't immediately see a need for Category:Sitar players awarded knighthoods for Ravi Shankar!)

I'm in the middle of overhauling the article. Any contributions will be gratefully received.
I've hived the discography off to its own article, and I am under no illusions how much more work it needs, so for now I'd avoid that one if I were you. I shall get it up to the standard of the Georg Solti discography after the main Monteux article is put to bed.

I'm curious about your addition of Category:Death in music to so many operas, seemingly on the basis the central character dies. But apart from Dead Man Walking, none of them have as their main subject or theme "death" itself. Mostly it is the result of lust for power, jealousy, devotion to duty, unrequited love, betrayal etc., which are the central themes. If you include every opera where a central character dies and/or kills someone, it's going to be huge category and kind of meaningless. Voceditenore ( talk) 06:37, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for adding a German cellist to the countless enjoyable biographies and Chopin's Polish song, first heard when I was young. Enjoy the company on the German Portal's DYK! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:00, 13 February 2012 (UTC) |

What ho! I've given the Reginald Kell and (more so) Jack Brymer articles a going-over. If you have time and inclination to look in it will, as always, be esteemed a favour. Tim riley ( talk) 20:35, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi All. Just letting you know that we have another meetup planned for Melbourne, on Sunday, 26th February at 11am. More details can be found at the meetup page. Pizza will be provided. Look forward to seeing all of you there :-) SteveBot ( talk) 23:05, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
In the recent reference desk question where I made a mistake about "at me", why did you call me "kid"? I'm a bit insulted by that. Inter change able| talk to me 21:11, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
I just wanted to thank for your improvement on this aforementioned article. Many of you Wikipedians are so proficient. What makes your contributions for commendable because of dedicated volunteerism. Pjt48 ( talk) 20:03, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
There's a discussion on this subject on Talk:Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky following a request for me to remove material from the Sexuality section of the article. As whether to leave this material out of the article or reinstate it is something that should be decided upon by more than two people, the more voices that are heard on this, pro or con, the better. Please consider joining in. Your input would be appreciated tremendously. Thanks! Jonyungk ( talk) 20:59, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

What ho! If you have a moment, pray run an eye over this new article to which I have given birth after a protracted labour. I shall add blue links when I feel up to a second grapple with this huge list, but meanwhile, any general thoughts, or Jackish tweaks will be most welcome. All this, I may say, is a mere clearing of the decks before giving the main Georg Solti article a comprehensive going over. Tim riley ( talk) 21:20, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Well spotted! I didn't recall Chipp having been Leader of the House but it's there in his parl biog all right. Incidentally, he used to say he'd been a minister ten times, but this record accords him only seven, plus the two House leadership appointments. Customary rhetoric I guess, eh?

...I'm being followed. My watchlist has just lit up like a firework display: Melba, Stanford, Bliss, Wood, Elgar, Harty, Sullivan et al. Sterling work on the cats! I think it's pushing it a bit to call Wood a composer. The occasional arrangement isn't quite the same, I'd say, but I don't press the point. I also boggle a bit at including Dames like Melba in the category Singers who have received knighthoods, but I shan't stick my oar in further. Regards as always.

Hello! Your submission of Siegfried Rapp at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah ( talk) 13:03, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Why not have Category:Organists awarded knighthoods? I can see Thalben-Ball, David Willcocks and Gillian Weir as well as Stainer just at a glance; we could have pianists too and any others where there are more than a few (so I don't immediately see a need for Category:Sitar players awarded knighthoods for Ravi Shankar!) It would make the musicians category less crowded too. Thoughts? Bencherlite Talk 20:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm in the middle of overhauling the article. Any contributions will be gratefully received.
I've hived the discography off to its own article, and I am under no illusions how much more work it needs, so for now I'd avoid that one if I were you. I shall get it up to the standard of the Georg Solti discography after the main Monteux article is put to bed. Meanwhile, any Jack thoughts, amendments or additions on the main article would be welcome. Tim riley ( talk) 20:16, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm curious about your addition of Category:Death in music to so many operas, seemingly on the basis the central character dies. But apart from Dead Man Walking, none of them have as their main subject or theme "death" itself. Mostly it is the result of lust for power, jealousy, devotion to duty, unrequited love, betrayal etc., which are the central themes. If you include every opera where a central character dies and/or kills someone, it's going to be huge category and kind of meaningless. Voceditenore ( talk) 06:37, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Hey all, just a reminder that there's a meetup tomorrow at 11am in North Melbourne. There are more details at the meetup page. Hope to see you tomorrow! SteveBot ( talk) 04:36, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
