like no one ever was? -- 129.126.97.170 ( talk) 00:55, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
That's easy. Just give someone a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams, whilst speaking a language of love like you know what it means. Pleasure helping you. -- Dweller ( talk) Old fashioned is the new thing! 14:11, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
According to Google Translate editions of de:Abraham Adolf Kaiser and de:Jesse Owens#Olympische Spiele 1936, Kaiser was a German Jew who wrote an anonymous letter to Jesse Owens urging him to make a very public protest against Hitler at the Berlin Olympics in 1936. Has the text of this letter survived? Both articles rely on this PDF, which is apparently the text of a lecture by prominent historian de:Julius H. Schoeps, so I'm confident of the reliability of this account; however, neither article has the text of this letter, I'm not finding it with Google, and I don't know where I'd find German archival-type sources from the period. Nyttend backup ( talk) 18:43, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Can we find anything about Doris Wenban (b. 1914), the creator of the work auctioned here? An aparent study for it appears on this list ( archive URL) She seems to have left no other trace on searchable websites. Presumably fl. in the UK. Maybe genealogical databases have something?

I've compiled what we have so far, into an item on Wikidata: d:Q106426511. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 08:33, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
eBay has this postcard of kneelers at Gloucester Cathedral designed by Doris Dent Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:50, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
Can someone kindly access this source and let me know what it says about Cueva de las Manos? The source is: Tang, Jin Bo. (2015). "The Hand in Art:“Hands” in the Artwork of Patagonia". Journal of Hand Surgery. 40 (4): 806–808. doi: 10.1016/j.jhsa.2015.01.022. ISSN 0363-5023. Thank you! Tyrone Madera ( talk) 21:44, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
This series of caves dating back to 8,000 years BC is located in Patagonia, south of the Perito Moreno in Santa Cruz province. The site is off the long and mysterious Argentinian Route 40 and is not easily accessible, with bumpy roads in some parts. However, all along Route 40, antiques, hands, and unique wildlife become themes for art.The remainder of the brief article is devoted to signalling depictions of images of cave paintings found on store logos and souvenirs found along the route. -- Lambiam 22:20, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
