Thank you Northamerica1000 Signed: Basemetal (talk) 02:51, 17 November 2012 (UTC) Regarding the article on the so-called Vitali chaconneNot okay. The change of key (why clef?) signature wasn't so common before Romanticism. Modulation was, but not every modulation brings about a key change (so the two notions aren't equivalent); actually, free change of key signature wasn't in use before Mahler. Right now I can't remember very well the point I had back in 2008, but this might be one possibility. Now that I've re-checked the manuscript, I noticed that there isn't any key signature change at all, everything goes under the single flat of G-minor-read-as-G-dorian-in-a-Baroque-fashion. So, yeah, there's a problem with my statement. However, what I most probably actually meant was that in the score there's plenty of transient (short-term) modulations, which, with the exception of tonicizations, was utterly uncommon before Beethoven and Schubert, that is before Romanticism. I'm refering here to Baroque music, not to Renaisance's musica reservata and not even Mozart's Requiem. Maybe I expressed my point in a somewhat exaggerated fashion, but the rest is correct to me. – Impy4ever (talk) 08:07, 18 November 2012 (UTC) List of Bach cantatasThe information you removed was not redundant to blind people.

I've got a big problem: in order to work on an article I've put some copyrighted content in a subpage of my sandbox, namely user:Basemetal/sandbox/dedillo. This content is there exclusively and only temporarily just as long as I am working on the article. It will be thrown away as soon as I am done. However when I google for example the word dedillo (the topic of the projected article) that page shows up. That is very annoying. How come pages from my sandbox show up in Google? Where can I put that content (that, I repeat, will be gotten rid of eventually as soon as I'm done working on the article)? Thank you. Helpless in the sandbox.

Disambiguation link notification for December 9Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Medieval composers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Romanos (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

How do I add a page to my watchlist without adding to my watchlist the associated talk page?
Speedy deletion nomination of Henry Greenway![]()
A tag has been placed on Henry Greenway requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Henry Greenway's HarpsThe information I have about the harp came directly from the museum's identifying label, which I used for my comment about it. (I'm certain I have a photo of the label somewhere, but it has been a few years since I was in Vermillion, and since then, I have taken thousands of photos, so it won't be easy for me to find.) The label may mean this is one of only two harps of this type that Henry Greenway made himself, not that they are the only two of this type in existence. There was no indication that he invented this harp form. (I am writing to you from France.) Amicalement, Charvex (talk) 06:47, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

'''Yehoshua Hankin''' ({{lang-he|יהושע חנקין}}, born 1864, died 11 November 1945) was a [[Zionism|Zionist]] activist who was responsible for most of the major land purchases of the [[World Zionist Organization]] in [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] [[Palestine]]. Now, when an editor tries to change "born 1864, died 11 November 1945" into "1864-1945" (to make it comply with some standard format for date of birth and death, whatever, that's not important) at the moment you get rid of the word "born" in "born 1864, died 11 November 1945" on your way to make it into "1864-1945", suddenly the date "1864" jumps to the left of יהושע חנקין and the template code break into {{lang-he|יהושע חנקין}}, 1864. Just watch '''Yehoshua Hankin''' ({{lang-he|יהושע חנקין}}, 1864, died 11 November 1945) was a [[Zionism|Zionist]] activist who was responsible for most of the major land purchases of the [[World Zionist Organization]] in [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] [[Palestine]]. See what happened as soon as I deleted the last letter of "born". If this is not clear, I'll demonstrate in slow motion: I get rid of the "n" of "born" '''Yehoshua Hankin''' ({{lang-he|יהושע חנקין}}, bor 1864, died 11 November 1945) was a [[Zionism|Zionist]] activist who was responsible for most of the major land purchases of the [[World Zionist Organization]] in [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] [[Palestine]]. Now I'm getting rid of the "r" '''Yehoshua Hankin''' ({{lang-he|יהושע חנקין}}, bo 1864, died 11 November 1945) was a [[Zionism|Zionist]] activist who was responsible for most of the major land purchases of the [[World Zionist Organization]] in [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] [[Palestine]]. Now I'm getting rid of the "o" '''Yehoshua Hankin''' ({{lang-he|יהושע חנקין}}, b 1864, died 11 November 1945) was a [[Zionism|Zionist]] activist who was responsible for most of the major land purchases of the [[World Zionist Organization]] in [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] [[Palestine]]. And now, pay attention, I'm gonna get rid of the "b" '''Yehoshua Hankin''' ({{lang-he|יהושע חנקין}}, 1864, died 11 November 1945) was a [[Zionism|Zionist]] activist who was responsible for most of the major land purchases of the [[World Zionist Organization]] in [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] [[Palestine]].

Re: Bathroom humorHi Basemetal,first of all I am honored that you feel my article worthy for inclusion in your anecdotes. Definitely let me know what came out of that. As for the statement, i first added it when I wrote the article (which, by the way, was one of the quickest articles ever to gain feature status, only coconut crab (also by me) was faster, methinks. When I added it i was fully aware that a lot of people will find the idea of masturbating with a toilet revolting. But then, when you talk with emergency room doctors you will find out that they have to deal on a daily basis with surgically removing "masturbation aids" out of somebody's rectum or elsewhere (from lubricated rodents to mobile phones). Hence I added the info anyway, since Wikipedia should not care if the information is likeable, only if it is true. On that respect, my source was also rather weak, the equivalent of the british "yellow press". But since then others brought up many more sources, albeit none of them "scientific". Unfortunately, due to demands in my real life I did not have the time to follow this problem up close, and only acted if people wanted to remove the whole article from feature status on the grounds of yuckiness. It was eventually removed due to lack of citations, which i did not have the time to fix (again - real life demands). Hope this info helps. Also, if you are looking for lore, you can also go into the "Gdansk" vs. "Danzig" conflict, including edit wars with behind the scenes email collaboration to push the polish name.

I have also added sources for the spelling of "Tomainia" (though determining the right spelling is admittedly problematic--see the citation I added for more on this).

Samblanay?Thanks for replying to my talk page. With regards to your question, the article which I created was so long ago that I can not remember it! I guess I took my source from the 1911 Britannica article. If you see any discrepancies in the article, please free to change it. Thanks! |
