Ha de Yngvadottir! I have translated and improved User:Serten/Popular image of red indians in Germany, I think that would be funny enough (and less ozonic ;) for you to have a look at. Just do so if you have the time and like to, I am always very thankful for your support. Grüßle Serten ( talk) 20:54, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
See this. Bizarre-ness aside, apparently Arunga changed her name or something, although I guess that will have to wait for additional sources and so on.

OH my - no hurry at all... Hafspajen ( talk) 22:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
You appear to prefer not to use cite templates ( example). I am just wondering your reasons for that preference. Personally, I find it much easier to keep references consistent by using the templates, and it also helps assure that you have the desired information. Just wondering.
Part of that wondering is that I have been working on a follow-on to WP:Cite4Wiki for some time now. It is primarily focused on presenting references using templates. I wonder if having some capability to provide references output in a non-templated form would be desirable (i.e. reasons for and number of people who would desire such). Doing so would open up a large can of worms regarding formatting that I am reluctant to get into coding. Knowing why you prefer not to use them might help me understand the issues. Thanks. — Makyen ( talk) 20:31, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Btw, Yngvadottir I agree with your notion at the sysop candidate talk page about the (imho ridiculous) view that the encyclopedia is approaching completion - there are a lot of major, important articles to write, and major changes are needed to keep existing ones up-to-date. My point is that there is less low hanging fruit around. Something like Ozone_depletion_and_climate_change is not easy to write, you need to bridge the Nature–culture divide, and most WP authors strongly belong to a section, and do not believe in bridge building. And its not very easy to overcome the my-article-is-my castle turf-defending approach I e.g. met in Mediterranean_Sea#Environmental_history or even worse, Tragedy of the commons and History of sustainability. That said, as it is often, success in the start hinders developements mid term. Serten ( talk) 19:32, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Alarm signal fog - one of the works on marine subjects by American artist Winslow Homer (1836 - 1910). In the painting "Summer Night" present a look at the raging sea, as the dramatynu performance . But in the room (on the coast) is still dangerous, though storm and tickles your nerves. Two girls even dance. Dancing has long ended for fishing in the film "Alarm signal fog." Sea - a dangerous area, then death walks daily. And be careful and reminded alarm. Fishing pidnalih oars to escape. The real tragedy is present at the watercolor "Tornado killer (after the tornado)." Strict sea just quiet. But the tragedy has already occurred. Waves of debris thrown on the coast of the fishing boat and corpse-negro fishermen. It's simple and terrifying, no concessions noble prejudices about ugly theme, the impossibility of such works hang in the living room or office. Over time, the dramatic works of Homer narastav, reaching a climax in the last period of the master. Psychological tension Homer paintings of his highly potsinovuvav another master psychological drama - 20th century artist [Andrew Wyatt]. .
Hey, I just wanted to ask more questions, if that was ok. Is it fine if I look at an article that has translation requested, and I do it?

Les parents d'Auguste Toulmouche étaient Émile Toulmouche et Rose Sophie Mercier, et il avait un oncle sculpteur. A partir de 1841, Auguste Toulmouche reçu les premiers éléments du dessin dans l'atelier du sculpteur nantais René Amédée Ménard. Puis, Toulmouche complèta son apprentissage en prenant quelques leçons de peinture auprès de Biron, peintre de portraits et de scènes religieuses inscrit comme professeur particulier de dessin et de peinture à Nantes à partir de 1844. En 1846, Auguste Toulmouche alla à Paris pour suivre l'enseignement de Gleyre. Gleyre avait la particularité de n'être ni professeur de l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts, ni membre de l'Académie. Il laissait les talents personnels se développer, donnant à ses étudiants toute liberté pour le choix des sujets. Cependant, cet enseignement très libéral ne rejettait pas certains principes de l'enseignement académique comme la bonne maîtrise du dessin avant d'aborder la peinture ou l'élaboration très soignée du tableau. Jeune fille (1852) fut acheté par Napoléon III, Le premier pas (1853) par l'impératrice Eugénie, et Après déjeuner par la princesse Mathilde. Toulmouche avait du succès avec ses petits tableaux de genre réalisé de style néo-grec. La leçon de lecture (1855), fit l'objet d'une bonne critique de Théophile Gautier.

For diff please go look at the sourced OSHA report referenced in article and here [4] It was not POV but how OSHA specifically defines their different violations. I actually left off willful. OSHA Quote:"Production company for "Midnight Rider" film cited for willful and serious safety violations following worker fatality and injuries". One violation was defined technically as "willful" and one as "serious". So this was not POV and clearly sourced. I would prefer not to "revert" as there was recently a dramatic attempt to vandalize the page with chomping and reverts that elevated to the wiki admin page and a userid and two sockpuppets being banned. Hopefully you do not mind restoring the "serious" as it is actually very relevant in this context. DFinmitre ( talk) 07:13, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

This is an insane number of citation needed, for no particular use, since the facts are not contoversial. This is exacly what I meant when I argued about the -anything- thing.

Your unfair comment at AN/I, invoking my name only to insult me in a factually false fashion regarding a matter that I have nothing to do with, is noted. Thank you for alerting me to it, although what purpose you think it served, I suspect I will never know. I suspect you will never know either. Bizarrely, and the reason that I'm responding at all, on the specific factual issue I agree with you completely and have never ever in any situation nor under any circumstances suggested anything whatsoever to the contrary. Perhaps you may wish to reconsider whether random hostility towards me, misunderstanding and misrepresenting my views, is the path to happiness.

Hi Yngvadottir,
For clarity, I'm not going to start a discussion with other people on your talk page.
In the diff I posted above ( [7]) you suggested to report back to you "If the rewrite does not happen promptly,...". Well, it hasn't happened promptly.
I didn't like the obvious WP:FORUMSHOP aspect that led to your admin action, overriding a discussion that was going on at Talk:Bach's church music in Latin, but was prepared to give it a chance because you expressed taking responsibility if it wouldn't work out.
Re. changing the "promptly" to " WP:NODEADLINE" post factum: not nearly good enough. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 22:36, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
Re. "So long as she did" — apparently not, could you have a look at Talk:Mass for the Dresden court (Bach)#Name? What I see is battleground behaviour (see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes#Gerda Arendt admonished) and am at a loss what to do next. Some advise would be welcome. Preferably on the content of the issue being discussed at Talk:Mass for the Dresden court (Bach)#Name, and in that location. I don't want to open a second discussion forum on it here. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 10:05, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm afraid your additions were removed when I restored the page to its previous state. The editor who "opened" the case did it all wrong, and, as my edit summary said, it's not my place as a clerk to fix it. If it had been a simple fix, I would have done it, but they didn't follow any of the instructions on how to open a case, meaning I would have had to do the whole thing for them.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 01:10, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

I am growing weary of this kind of thing [9], [10], and particularly this [11] from your friend the floating IP. Persistent accusations of bad faith are, I understood, exactly the kind of thing this "deal" was supposed to prevent. I haven't reverted him once since that deal was agreed. If you and Drmies are not to be made to look ridiculous by this guy, can you tell him to curb this nasty chatter? I wouldn't take it from anyone else, and I am not prepared to take it from him. Next time I will consider opening an ANI against him. Bretonbanquet ( talk) 16:46, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
The IP's removal of the offending comment is noted. I do not accept that I am insulting the IP by saying that he does not understand my arguments. No insult is intended by that, which I am sure was not the case when he suggested I had a poor grasp of basic writing. Hardly the same thing. It is pointless to continue the discussion there as I know an unending load of rubbish when I see one. What I will not tolerate, and I see it has continued right here without comment from Yngvadottir, is the persistent accusations of bad faith. "Stymying useful discussion, derailing the discussion" – that is not acceptable. I don't care if that's what the IP thinks it looks like. He should learn to assume good faith, yes, that means even with me. I know what I think his behaviour "looks like", but I am keeping it to myself. Same goes for accusations of stalking, which I see Drmies has supported, although there is no evidence for it whatsoever. If either Yngvadottir, Drmies or the IP considers my behaviour to be harassment, take it to the relevant admin page and let an uninvolved admin investigate it. Otherwise, desist from that accusation. I said above here that I do not think the IP is showing bad faith, and I will stick by that. But I expect the same from him. If I don't get it, I will take it elsewhere. There's no reason why he and I shouldn't edit the same articles, as he says, but I feel that the talk page discussion is futile. Bretonbanquet ( talk) 16:37, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Erika Jensen-Jarolim shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
I personally hate getting to the point of bringing warnings like this to user talk pages, but your edit warring is getting problematic to the point that you could easily be brought to ANI for violating WP:3RR. You should know better since you're an admin, so I'm hoping something just got you really passionate and you're missing the details being covered at the article's talk page in a hurry. Take a breather and try focusing on the discussion. I for one hate going to ANI, so I'm hoping this just serves as a bonk on the head that it's time to slow down.

OK: listen, will you please put some kind of protection on Christmas tradition like for two month? Pendling revision or whatever. I predict a lot of mess. Also somebody removed this: Christmas is absolutely not a public holiday in North Korea, there were many attempts of mounting Christmas trees along the North/South Korean border. On October 2014, the South Korean government were forced to take down the tree near the border. Although Christmas is a public holiday in South Korea. Pity. Wonder if we could find some refs.

Citation:Born in 1823, John Simmons is listed in Bristol directories as a miniature painter, living in Clifton. Although primarily supporting himself through portraiture during the 1850s and 1860s, Simmons is most celebrated for his enchanting watercolours of ethereal fairyland scenes, and the present lot is one of the finest and most ambitious examples.Fairy painting was a genre which found a renewed popularity in the 19th century, these mystical worlds granting the viewer an escape from reality and solace from the hardships of Victorian life. As Jeremy Maas commented, 'no other type of painting concentrates so many of the opposing elements in the Victorian psyche: the desire to escape the dreary hardships of daily existence; the stirring of new attitudes towards sex, stifled by religious dogma; a passion for the unseen; psychological retreat from scientific discoveries; the birth of psychoanalysis; the latent revulsion against the exactitude of the new invention of photography.'1 Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream was a popular theme of the period, painted by artists such as Robert Huskisson, John Anster Fitzgerald, John Atkinson Grimshaw, Francis Danby and Richard Dadd. Simmons painted a number of works in the 1860s and 1870s which draw inspiration from Shakespeare's play. In the present lot, the artist captures a botanical dreamlike world filled with nymphs and sprites, showcasing his furtive imagination with incredible skill. Believed to capture Act II Scene II, the work depicts the sleeping Hermia (the central right figure) and Titania (central left), whom Oberon spikes with a love potion, sprinkling it onto his quarrelling fairy queen's eyes, ensuring that when she wakes she will fall in love with whomever she first sees.
What thou seest when thou dost wake,
Do it for thy true-love take, Love and languish for his sake: Be it ounce, or cat, or bear, Pard, or boar with bristled hair...
(Oberon, Act II Scene II)
Using the winding flowers and convolvulus as a decorative motif, Simmons romantically frames the central figures, creating a stage in which their narrative can play out. Blurring the boundaries between reality and dreams, he creates a poetical vision of Shakespeare's play. The complexity of the composition is unusual for Simmons, who usually depicts one or two figures framed by foliage, often capturing his heroine Titania. Painting her in a number of poses, Simmons depicts the fairy queen as a paradigm of Victorian female beauty, often painting her delicately veiled, as here, covered in minutely realistic flowers with wings, opal or agate. Works like his 1866 Titania (Bristol Museums and Art Gallery, featured in the 1997 Royal Academy exhibition Victorian Fairy Painting), and Titania sleeping in the moonlight protected by her fairies (sold in these rooms, 9 March 2004, lot 86) has led Simmons' fairy paintings to be singled out from his contemporaries for their eroticism, the light draperies barely covering the nude bodies beneath. Charlotte Gere notes that eroticism in fairy paintings was a common concept in the Victorian era, explaining, 'suggestiveness in fairy paintings is one of many parallels with Orientalism, the exotic setting exonerating the viewer from voyeurism'.2
As the present lot demonstrates, the soft charm of Simmons' sensual nudes and the delicacy of their painting elevates them above mere objects of carnal desire. Jeremy Maas defended Simmons, stating 'it could be said...that Simmons uses fairy trappings to mask the otherwise blatant exoticism of the paintings, but his evocation of fairyland is too successful for this to remain true.'3 Hafspajen ( talk) 17:59, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
August Wilhelm Leu (* 24 March 1818 in Münster ; † 20 July 1897 in Seelisberg ( Canton Uri )) was a German painter.
Leu devoted himself from 1840 to 1844 in Dusseldorf , primarily under Johann Wilhelm Schirmer , landscape painting and toured in 1843 and 1847 Norway , later, Switzerland , Tyrol, Upper Bavaria, Styria and Italy. A short time he lived in Brussels, but returned to Dusseldorf, where he 1882 Berlin moved.
His landscapes are characterized by a great, romantic view of the Alps nature, masterly lecture, bright color and well-calculated lighting effect. Of his numerous paintings, which he carried out mostly on a larger scale, should be highlighted:
Norwegian Waterfall with fir forest (1848, Museum in Oslo ) Sognefjord at noon mood (Museum in Bremen) Lot near Berchtesgaden (Museum in Stuttgart) Norwegian plateau (Museum in Königsberg) Waterfall (Museum in Vienna) The watzmann The Dachstein The Upper Lake Sunset on the coast of Sorrento Oeschinensee in Kandersteg in the Canton of Bern (1876, National Gallery, Berlin) Lago Maggiore (1879) The Castle of Queen Joanna to Naples (1886) He was Regius Professor and had the large gold medal of the Berlin exhibition. On the Paris World's Fair in 1855 he received an honorable mention for a landscape painting.

Speaking of helpful, I have a small favour to ask. For prima facie non-controverstial articles, what's the proper (polite) convention for handling parts which either don't have supporting references, or which aren't supported by the references? Just deleting the sentence seems a little brusque. As does just adding a "citation needed". I'm thinking that I would put something in article Talk page as well as in the edit summary; but do we normally also leave a short message on the User_talk page of the editor who added the section? Thanks in advance for your insight & advice. - Ryk72 ( talk) 20:12, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't think this is a proper way to handle a merge, on top of believing that two articles would be better. Do you understand? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:29, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
Francis. You are ignoring the input of editors on this issue. I find you reasonable on Prem Rawat but this doesn't seem so reasonable to me. This isn't about Gerda's preferred version and that's the invalid excuse you are using to merge; its about several editors asking you for reasons to merge. You still have not offered reasons for that merge. Did I miss that. And I like others cannot see why you insist on merging this content. Then you ignore the other editors (excluding Gerda and me) and merge anyway. It only makes sense that over time our articles on music will become more and more detailed and will require content split offs. And why are you closing discussions in which you clearly do not have a neutral position. Doesn't make sense to me at all, I'm afraid.( Littleolive oil ( talk) 16:59, 21 November 2014 (UTC))

Anyway, "I think there's no objection to revert this and this" as I wrote here
See also the {{ copied multi}} template at Talk:Magnificat (Bach) which explains why a page move from Magnificat in D major, BWV 243 is not necessary imho: the content I put at Magnificat (Bach) with this edit is as much coming from Magnificat in D major, BWV 243 as it originated in Magnificat in E-flat major, BWV 243a. See Wikipedia:Merge page history#Parallel versions why and how this is the most correct procedure in this case.
Classic page move from Magnificat in D major, BWV 243 → Magnificat (Bach) (without the talk page!) would be a possibility too, but less correct, see previous paragraph.
When intervening in a discussion (which I'm thankful for Yngvadottir!) try to see the common ground too, which helps in deflating tensions. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 05:01, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi Yngvadottir, may I ask your admin assistance for merging Draft:Magnificat (Bach) into Magnificat (Bach) with merging of page histories, using the procedure as described at Wikipedia:Merging page histories#Repair process (for admins)?
I'd like to continue updating the page on Bach's Magnificat in main space, like you said (in another context, but the same applies here): "There is no requirement for a rewrite to happen in draft space or on a talk page, and it's more transparent as well as procedurally easier to do it in main space, particularly since no one disputes the work merits its own article." [22]
I'll notify at Talk:Magnificat (Bach)#Draft version (where I announced the draft) that I asked you to perform this administraive task. If in your opinion whatever procedure or whatever else needs to take place before performing the merge I suggested above I'd also ask you to post your suggestions at Talk:Magnificat (Bach)#Draft version (in order not to fragment discussions). -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 21:32, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Lussinatta inträffade den 13 december och det var då som Lussi, eller Lussekäringen, en kvinnovarelse med onda egenskaper likt en kvinnlig demon eller häxa, kom ridande genom luften med sina följeslagare som kallades för lussiferda. I vissa trakter, särskilt i Västergötland, handlade i stället om en man, Lussegubben. Lucialegenden var känd i Norden först på 1200-talet, och först på 1300-talet var namnet allmänt känt som namn på dagen. Lussi är med all sannolikhet en personifikation av dagen, utan koppling till helgonet. Under tiden mellan lussinatta och julen trodde man att troll och onda andar var särskilt aktiva utomhus. Det var synnerligen farligt att vara ute under själva lussinatta. Barn som hade begått illdåd behövde akta sig extra noga, då Lussi kunde komma ner för skorstenen och röva bort dem. Och om vissa av julens förberedelser inte blev klara, kunde Lussi straffa gården i fråga.<noinclude><ref>''Lussi, Tomas og Tollak: tre kalendariske julefigurar'', Brynjulf Alver, 1976</ref></noinclude>
Olof Rudbeck d.ä. gjorde i sin Atlantica ett försök att koppla föreställningen mellan en Lussi och den grekiska mytologins Demeter. Denna identifikation upprepades senare av Erland Hofsten i början av 1700-talet, men anses idag som ett utslag av Göticism. Tyvärr ger Rudbeck inte någon beskrivning av Lussitraditionen såsom den såg ut i slutet av 1600-talet.<ref name="ReferenceA">''Lucia och lussebrud i Värmland'', ur ''Svenska kulturbilder'' Ny följd, häfte 5, Hilding Celander, 1936</ref>
Liknande traditioner har funnits även i andra länder, bland annat Böhmen.<ref name="SU693" />
I Värmland uppstod en något annan tradition. Erland Hofsten berättade i sin otryckta Beskrifning öfwer Wermeland i början av 1700-talet om vad han uppfattade som ett Warimanniens ålder til upbruk och beboande, i dy thet kan gifwa wid handen thenna fäst här hafwa satt sig förrän någon annan ort av Swea och Giöta, emädan the ther om eij enss hört, men the emot then sedan af hedenhöös här warit brukat. Tyvärr ges ingen utförligare beskrivning av vad festen gick ut på. Hofstens teorier om festens hedniska ursprung är dock med all förmodan överdriven.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
I den första tryckta Värmlandsbeskrivningen, E. Fernows Beskrifning öfwer Wärmeland 1773, ges dock en fylligare beskrivning av Lussetraditionen i Värmland: Man skall den dagen wara uppe at äta bittida om ottan, hos somlige tör ock et litet rus slinka med på köpet. Sedan lägger man sig at sofwa, och därpå ätes ny frukost. Hos Bönderne kallas detta 'äta Lussebete', men hos de förnämare 'fira Luciäottan'. Medan Hofsten beskrev seden som endast förekommande hos allmogen, säger Fernow att den förekom även på herrgårdarna.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> En annan, äldre folklig tradition som levde på landsbygden var lussebruden. Det kunde en ogift kvinna i trakten eller på gården utnämnas till och därmed bli huvudperson i den lokala varianten av lussefirandet. Den verkar även ha spridit sig utanför Värmland. 1791 firades Lucia vid den Värmländska nationen i Lund. Prosten C. Fr. Nyman berättare i den otryckta Märkvärdigheter uti Ingelstads härad från en resa i Västergötland 1764, hur han då stötte på den för honom helt okända luciatraditionen: Rätt som jag låg i min bästa sömn, hördes en Vocalmusique utan för min dörr, hvaraf jag väcktes. Strax derpå inträdde först ett hvit-klädt fruntimmer med gördel om lifvet, liksom en vinge på hvardera axeln, stora itända ljus i hwar sin stora silfversljusstake, som sattes på bordet, och strax derpå kom en annan med ett litet dukadt bord, försedt med allehanda kräseliga, äteliga och våtvaror, som nedsattes mitt för sängarna... det är Lussebete. Det är första kända dokumentationen av något som kan liknas vid en Lucia. 1791 firades Luciadagen på Åkerö slott enligt hävdvunnen sed. Ebba Sparre har beskrivit i ett brev till sin syster hur hon väcktes av fiolspel, och då hon öppnade ögonen fick se två av tjänsteflickorna med förvaltarens dotter och en hushållerska komma in i kammaren, helt vitklädda med blomstergirlanger på huvudena och bärande mellan sig ett slags altare, med en korg i guldpapper och med 16 brinnande ljus.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
Den första gången en lucia med ljus på huvudet finns dokumentariskt belagd är från 1820, och det handlade då om en manlig lucia. En bruksinspektor i Skinnskatteberg berättar: ... då sex rätter voro förtärde och endast den sjunde, kakan, återstod, öfverraskades gästerna af en egendomlig syn. Dubbeldörrarna till förstugan uppslogos, och in trädde en dräng klädd i hvitt lakan, med en krans af ljus på hufvudet och bärande en väldig bål med glöggus. Egentligen borde det varit en tjenstflicka, ty han skulle föreställa Sancta Lucia, men, förmodligen för bördans skull, hade därtill i senare tider tagits en karl.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

OH my - no hurry at all... Hafspajen ( talk) 22:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
You appear to prefer not to use cite templates ( example). I am just wondering your reasons for that preference. Personally, I find it much easier to keep references consistent by using the templates, and it also helps assure that you have the desired information. Just wondering.
Part of that wondering is that I have been working on a follow-on to WP:Cite4Wiki for some time now. It is primarily focused on presenting references using templates. I wonder if having some capability to provide references output in a non-templated form would be desirable (i.e. reasons for and number of people who would desire such). Doing so would open up a large can of worms regarding formatting that I am reluctant to get into coding. Knowing why you prefer not to use them might help me understand the issues. Thanks. — Makyen ( talk) 20:31, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Btw, Yngvadottir I agree with your notion at the sysop candidate talk page about the (imho ridiculous) view that the encyclopedia is approaching completion - there are a lot of major, important articles to write, and major changes are needed to keep existing ones up-to-date. My point is that there is less low hanging fruit around. Something like Ozone_depletion_and_climate_change is not easy to write, you need to bridge the Nature–culture divide, and most WP authors strongly belong to a section, and do not believe in bridge building. And its not very easy to overcome the my-article-is-my castle turf-defending approach I e.g. met in Mediterranean_Sea#Environmental_history or even worse, Tragedy of the commons and History of sustainability. That said, as it is often, success in the start hinders developements mid term. Serten ( talk) 19:32, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Alarm signal fog - one of the works on marine subjects by American artist Winslow Homer (1836 - 1910). In the painting "Summer Night" present a look at the raging sea, as the dramatynu performance . But in the room (on the coast) is still dangerous, though storm and tickles your nerves. Two girls even dance. Dancing has long ended for fishing in the film "Alarm signal fog." Sea - a dangerous area, then death walks daily. And be careful and reminded alarm. Fishing pidnalih oars to escape. The real tragedy is present at the watercolor "Tornado killer (after the tornado)." Strict sea just quiet. But the tragedy has already occurred. Waves of debris thrown on the coast of the fishing boat and corpse-negro fishermen. It's simple and terrifying, no concessions noble prejudices about ugly theme, the impossibility of such works hang in the living room or office. Over time, the dramatic works of Homer narastav, reaching a climax in the last period of the master. Psychological tension Homer paintings of his highly potsinovuvav another master psychological drama - 20th century artist [Andrew Wyatt]. .

Les parents d'Auguste Toulmouche étaient Émile Toulmouche et Rose Sophie Mercier, et il avait un oncle sculpteur. A partir de 1841, Auguste Toulmouche reçu les premiers éléments du dessin dans l'atelier du sculpteur nantais René Amédée Ménard. Puis, Toulmouche complèta son apprentissage en prenant quelques leçons de peinture auprès de Biron, peintre de portraits et de scènes religieuses inscrit comme professeur particulier de dessin et de peinture à Nantes à partir de 1844. En 1846, Auguste Toulmouche alla à Paris pour suivre l'enseignement de Gleyre. Gleyre avait la particularité de n'être ni professeur de l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts, ni membre de l'Académie. Il laissait les talents personnels se développer, donnant à ses étudiants toute liberté pour le choix des sujets. Cependant, cet enseignement très libéral ne rejettait pas certains principes de l'enseignement académique comme la bonne maîtrise du dessin avant d'aborder la peinture ou l'élaboration très soignée du tableau. Jeune fille (1852) fut acheté par Napoléon III, Le premier pas (1853) par l'impératrice Eugénie, et Après déjeuner par la princesse Mathilde. Toulmouche avait du succès avec ses petits tableaux de genre réalisé de style néo-grec. La leçon de lecture (1855), fit l'objet d'une bonne critique de Théophile Gautier.

For diff please go look at the sourced OSHA report referenced in article and here [4] It was not POV but how OSHA specifically defines their different violations. I actually left off willful. OSHA Quote:"Production company for "Midnight Rider" film cited for willful and serious safety violations following worker fatality and injuries". One violation was defined technically as "willful" and one as "serious". So this was not POV and clearly sourced. I would prefer not to "revert" as there was recently a dramatic attempt to vandalize the page with chomping and reverts that elevated to the wiki admin page and a userid and two sockpuppets being banned. Hopefully you do not mind restoring the "serious" as it is actually very relevant in this context. DFinmitre ( talk) 07:13, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Yngvadottir,
For clarity, I'm not going to start a discussion with other people on your talk page.
In the diff I posted above ( [7]) you suggested to report back to you "If the rewrite does not happen promptly,...". Well, it hasn't happened promptly.
I didn't like the obvious WP:FORUMSHOP aspect that led to your admin action, overriding a discussion that was going on at Talk:Bach's church music in Latin, but was prepared to give it a chance because you expressed taking responsibility if it wouldn't work out.

I am growing weary of this kind of thing [9], [10], and particularly this [11] from your friend the floating IP. Persistent accusations of bad faith are, I understood, exactly the kind of thing this "deal" was supposed to prevent. I haven't reverted him once since that deal was agreed. If you and Drmies are not to be made to look ridiculous by this guy, can you tell him to curb this nasty chatter? I wouldn't take it from anyone else, and I am not prepared to take it from him. Next time I will consider opening an ANI against him. Bretonbanquet ( talk) 16:46, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
The IP's removal of the offending comment is noted. I do not accept that I am insulting the IP by saying that he does not understand my arguments. No insult is intended by that, which I am sure was not the case when he suggested I had a poor grasp of basic writing. Hardly the same thing. It is pointless to continue the discussion there as I know an unending load of rubbish when I see one. What I will not tolerate, and I see it has continued right here without comment from Yngvadottir, is the persistent accusations of bad faith. "Stymying useful discussion, derailing the discussion" – that is not acceptable. I don't care if that's what the IP thinks it looks like. He should learn to assume good faith, yes, that means even with me. I know what I think his behaviour "looks like", but I am keeping it to myself. Same goes for accusations of stalking, which I see Drmies has supported, although there is no evidence for it whatsoever. If either Yngvadottir, Drmies or the IP considers my behaviour to be harassment, take it to the relevant admin page and let an uninvolved admin investigate it. Otherwise, desist from that accusation. I said above here that I do not think the IP is showing bad faith, and I will stick by that. But I expect the same from him. If I don't get it, I will take it elsewhere. There's no reason why he and I shouldn't edit the same articles, as he says, but I feel that the talk page discussion is futile. Bretonbanquet ( talk) 16:37, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Erika Jensen-Jarolim shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
I personally hate getting to the point of bringing warnings like this to user talk pages, but your edit warring is getting problematic to the point that you could easily be brought to ANI for violating WP:3RR. You should know better since you're an admin, so I'm hoping something just got you really passionate and you're missing the details being covered at the article's talk page in a hurry. Take a breather and try focusing on the discussion. I for one hate going to ANI, so I'm hoping this just serves as a bonk on the head that it's time to slow down.

Hi Yngvadottir. Just because you create an article, does not mean you know best about every single detail. You don't own it, you don't have final say over other editors' work. That is not how the project works, and there are WP principles and rules against that sort of behaviour. Now go and ahead and revert if you must.

Citation:Born in 1823, John Simmons is listed in Bristol directories as a miniature painter, living in Clifton. Although primarily supporting himself through portraiture during the 1850s and 1860s, Simmons is most celebrated for his enchanting watercolours of ethereal fairyland scenes, and the present lot is one of the finest and most ambitious examples.Fairy painting was a genre which found a renewed popularity in the 19th century, these mystical worlds granting the viewer an escape from reality and solace from the hardships of Victorian life. As Jeremy Maas commented, 'no other type of painting concentrates so many of the opposing elements in the Victorian psyche: the desire to escape the dreary hardships of daily existence; the stirring of new attitudes towards sex, stifled by religious dogma; a passion for the unseen; psychological retreat from scientific discoveries; the birth of psychoanalysis; the latent revulsion against the exactitude of the new invention of photography.'1 Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream was a popular theme of the period, painted by artists such as Robert Huskisson, John Anster Fitzgerald, John Atkinson Grimshaw, Francis Danby and Richard Dadd. Simmons painted a number of works in the 1860s and 1870s which draw inspiration from Shakespeare's play. In the present lot, the artist captures a botanical dreamlike world filled with nymphs and sprites, showcasing his furtive imagination with incredible skill. Believed to capture Act II Scene II, the work depicts the sleeping Hermia (the central right figure) and Titania (central left), whom Oberon spikes with a love potion, sprinkling it onto his quarrelling fairy queen's eyes, ensuring that when she wakes she will fall in love with whomever she first sees.
What thou seest when thou dost wake,
Do it for thy true-love take, Love and languish for his sake: Be it ounce, or cat, or bear, Pard, or boar with bristled hair...
(Oberon, Act II Scene II)
Using the winding flowers and convolvulus as a decorative motif, Simmons romantically frames the central figures, creating a stage in which their narrative can play out. Blurring the boundaries between reality and dreams, he creates a poetical vision of Shakespeare's play. The complexity of the composition is unusual for Simmons, who usually depicts one or two figures framed by foliage, often capturing his heroine Titania. Painting her in a number of poses, Simmons depicts the fairy queen as a paradigm of Victorian female beauty, often painting her delicately veiled, as here, covered in minutely realistic flowers with wings, opal or agate. Works like his 1866 Titania (Bristol Museums and Art Gallery, featured in the 1997 Royal Academy exhibition Victorian Fairy Painting), and Titania sleeping in the moonlight protected by her fairies (sold in these rooms, 9 March 2004, lot 86) has led Simmons' fairy paintings to be singled out from his contemporaries for their eroticism, the light draperies barely covering the nude bodies beneath. Charlotte Gere notes that eroticism in fairy paintings was a common concept in the Victorian era, explaining, 'suggestiveness in fairy paintings is one of many parallels with Orientalism, the exotic setting exonerating the viewer from voyeurism'.2
As the present lot demonstrates, the soft charm of Simmons' sensual nudes and the delicacy of their painting elevates them above mere objects of carnal desire. Jeremy Maas defended Simmons, stating 'it could be said...that Simmons uses fairy trappings to mask the otherwise blatant exoticism of the paintings, but his evocation of fairyland is too successful for this to remain true.'3 Hafspajen ( talk) 17:59, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
August Wilhelm Leu (* 24 March 1818 in Münster ; † 20 July 1897 in Seelisberg ( Canton Uri )) was a German painter.
Leu devoted himself from 1840 to 1844 in Dusseldorf , primarily under Johann Wilhelm Schirmer , landscape painting and toured in 1843 and 1847 Norway , later, Switzerland , Tyrol, Upper Bavaria, Styria and Italy. A short time he lived in Brussels, but returned to Dusseldorf, where he 1882 Berlin moved.
His landscapes are characterized by a great, romantic view of the Alps nature, masterly lecture, bright color and well-calculated lighting effect. Of his numerous paintings, which he carried out mostly on a larger scale, should be highlighted:
Norwegian Waterfall with fir forest (1848, Museum in Oslo ) Sognefjord at noon mood (Museum in Bremen) Lot near Berchtesgaden (Museum in Stuttgart) Norwegian plateau (Museum in Königsberg) Waterfall (Museum in Vienna) The watzmann The Dachstein The Upper Lake Sunset on the coast of Sorrento Oeschinensee in Kandersteg in the Canton of Bern (1876, National Gallery, Berlin) Lago Maggiore (1879) The Castle of Queen Joanna to Naples (1886) He was Regius Professor and had the large gold medal of the Berlin exhibition. On the Paris World's Fair in 1855 he received an honorable mention for a landscape painting.

Speaking of helpful, I have a small favour to ask. For prima facie non-controverstial articles, what's the proper (polite) convention for handling parts which either don't have supporting references, or which aren't supported by the references? Just deleting the sentence seems a little brusque. As does just adding a "citation needed". I'm thinking that I would put something in article Talk page as well as in the edit summary; but do we normally also leave a short message on the User_talk page of the editor who added the section? Thanks in advance for your insight & advice. - Ryk72 ( talk) 20:12, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't think this is a proper way to handle a merge, on top of believing that two articles would be better. Do you understand? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:29, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
Francis. You are ignoring the input of editors on this issue. I find you reasonable on Prem Rawat but this doesn't seem so reasonable to me. This isn't about Gerda's preferred version and that's the invalid excuse you are using to merge; its about several editors asking you for reasons to merge. You still have not offered reasons for that merge. Did I miss that. And I like others cannot see why you insist on merging this content. Then you ignore the other editors (excluding Gerda and me) and merge anyway. It only makes sense that over time our articles on music will become more and more detailed and will require content split offs. And why are you closing discussions in which you clearly do not have a neutral position. Doesn't make sense to me at all, I'm afraid.( Littleolive oil ( talk) 16:59, 21 November 2014 (UTC))

Gerda agreed the main article should be at Magnificat (Bach), please stop your reverts immediately, while you're not even clear on what we're actually discussing here. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 20:05, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
Anyway, "I think there's no objection to revert this and this" as I wrote here
See also the {{ copied multi}} template at Talk:Magnificat (Bach) which explains why a page move from Magnificat in D major, BWV 243 is not necessary imho: the content I put at Magnificat (Bach) with this edit is as much coming from Magnificat in D major, BWV 243 as it originated in Magnificat in E-flat major, BWV 243a. See Wikipedia:Merge page history#Parallel versions why and how this is the most correct procedure in this case.
Classic page move from Magnificat in D major, BWV 243 → Magnificat (Bach) (without the talk page!) would be a possibility too, but less correct, see previous paragraph.
When intervening in a discussion (which I'm thankful for Yngvadottir!) try to see the common ground too, which helps in deflating tensions. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 05:01, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi Yngvadottir, may I ask your admin assistance for merging Draft:Magnificat (Bach) into Magnificat (Bach) with merging of page histories, using the procedure as described at Wikipedia:Merging page histories#Repair process (for admins)?
I'd like to continue updating the page on Bach's Magnificat in main space, like you said (in another context, but the same applies here): "There is no requirement for a rewrite to happen in draft space or on a talk page, and it's more transparent as well as procedurally easier to do it in main space, particularly since no one disputes the work merits its own article." [22]
I'll notify at Talk:Magnificat (Bach)#Draft version (where I announced the draft) that I asked you to perform this administraive task. If in your opinion whatever procedure or whatever else needs to take place before performing the merge I suggested above I'd also ask you to post your suggestions at Talk:Magnificat (Bach)#Draft version (in order not to fragment discussions). -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 21:32, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Lussinatta inträffade den 13 december och det var då som Lussi, eller Lussekäringen, en kvinnovarelse med onda egenskaper likt en kvinnlig demon eller häxa, kom ridande genom luften med sina följeslagare som kallades för lussiferda. I vissa trakter, särskilt i Västergötland, handlade i stället om en man, Lussegubben. Lucialegenden var känd i Norden först på 1200-talet, och först på 1300-talet var namnet allmänt känt som namn på dagen. Lussi är med all sannolikhet en personifikation av dagen, utan koppling till helgonet. Under tiden mellan lussinatta och julen trodde man att troll och onda andar var särskilt aktiva utomhus. Det var synnerligen farligt att vara ute under själva lussinatta. Barn som hade begått illdåd behövde akta sig extra noga, då Lussi kunde komma ner för skorstenen och röva bort dem. Och om vissa av julens förberedelser inte blev klara, kunde Lussi straffa gården i fråga.<noinclude><ref>''Lussi, Tomas og Tollak: tre kalendariske julefigurar'', Brynjulf Alver, 1976</ref></noinclude>
Olof Rudbeck d.ä. gjorde i sin Atlantica ett försök att koppla föreställningen mellan en Lussi och den grekiska mytologins Demeter. Denna identifikation upprepades senare av Erland Hofsten i början av 1700-talet, men anses idag som ett utslag av Göticism. Tyvärr ger Rudbeck inte någon beskrivning av Lussitraditionen såsom den såg ut i slutet av 1600-talet.<ref name="ReferenceA">''Lucia och lussebrud i Värmland'', ur ''Svenska kulturbilder'' Ny följd, häfte 5, Hilding Celander, 1936</ref>
Liknande traditioner har funnits även i andra länder, bland annat Böhmen.<ref name="SU693" />
I Värmland uppstod en något annan tradition. Erland Hofsten berättade i sin otryckta Beskrifning öfwer Wermeland i början av 1700-talet om vad han uppfattade som ett Warimanniens ålder til upbruk och beboande, i dy thet kan gifwa wid handen thenna fäst här hafwa satt sig förrän någon annan ort av Swea och Giöta, emädan the ther om eij enss hört, men the emot then sedan af hedenhöös här warit brukat. Tyvärr ges ingen utförligare beskrivning av vad festen gick ut på. Hofstens teorier om festens hedniska ursprung är dock med all förmodan överdriven.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
I den första tryckta Värmlandsbeskrivningen, E. Fernows Beskrifning öfwer Wärmeland 1773, ges dock en fylligare beskrivning av Lussetraditionen i Värmland: Man skall den dagen wara uppe at äta bittida om ottan, hos somlige tör ock et litet rus slinka med på köpet. Sedan lägger man sig at sofwa, och därpå ätes ny frukost. Hos Bönderne kallas detta 'äta Lussebete', men hos de förnämare 'fira Luciäottan'. Medan Hofsten beskrev seden som endast förekommande hos allmogen, säger Fernow att den förekom även på herrgårdarna.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> En annan, äldre folklig tradition som levde på landsbygden var lussebruden. Det kunde en ogift kvinna i trakten eller på gården utnämnas till och därmed bli huvudperson i den lokala varianten av lussefirandet. Den verkar även ha spridit sig utanför Värmland. 1791 firades Lucia vid den Värmländska nationen i Lund. Prosten C. Fr. Nyman berättare i den otryckta Märkvärdigheter uti Ingelstads härad från en resa i Västergötland 1764, hur han då stötte på den för honom helt okända luciatraditionen: Rätt som jag låg i min bästa sömn, hördes en Vocalmusique utan för min dörr, hvaraf jag väcktes. Strax derpå inträdde först ett hvit-klädt fruntimmer med gördel om lifvet, liksom en vinge på hvardera axeln, stora itända ljus i hwar sin stora silfversljusstake, som sattes på bordet, och strax derpå kom en annan med ett litet dukadt bord, försedt med allehanda kräseliga, äteliga och våtvaror, som nedsattes mitt för sängarna... det är Lussebete. Det är första kända dokumentationen av något som kan liknas vid en Lucia. 1791 firades Luciadagen på Åkerö slott enligt hävdvunnen sed. Ebba Sparre har beskrivit i ett brev till sin syster hur hon väcktes av fiolspel, och då hon öppnade ögonen fick se två av tjänsteflickorna med förvaltarens dotter och en hushållerska komma in i kammaren, helt vitklädda med blomstergirlanger på huvudena och bärande mellan sig ett slags altare, med en korg i guldpapper och med 16 brinnande ljus.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
Den första gången en lucia med ljus på huvudet finns dokumentariskt belagd är från 1820, och det handlade då om en manlig lucia. En bruksinspektor i Skinnskatteberg berättar: ... då sex rätter voro förtärde och endast den sjunde, kakan, återstod, öfverraskades gästerna af en egendomlig syn. Dubbeldörrarna till förstugan uppslogos, och in trädde en dräng klädd i hvitt lakan, med en krans af ljus på hufvudet och bärande en väldig bål med glöggus. Egentligen borde det varit en tjenstflicka, ty han skulle föreställa Sancta Lucia, men, förmodligen för bördans skull, hade därtill i senare tider tagits en karl.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
Hmm, so that's the source of the spook stuff. I had only briefly checked the Swedish article. I don't think it merits a separate article, but now I see why that section is in the English. Yngvadottir ( talk) 22:16, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
