[edit] Buzz Aldrin

Hi there

I saw your comments on Aldrin's page and have done my best to answer some of your queries - page refs etc. Re your query about the "too big an ego" quote from Hansen - I read through Chap 25 again which covers the 'first out' issue in great detail, and can't find that exact quote. The nearest thing is that Armstrong "had no ego" which is actually a quote from Chris Kraft in an interview with James Hansen. Not sure where to take that from here, but no doubt somebody else will chip in. I'll add a ref tag to the quote. UPDATE: just realised there's already a ref there, so a ref tag wouldn't make sense.

[edit] Cortot & Mannes

Hm, we probably know each other by our non-Wikipedia names (although I used to love shlishkes, before I cared about my weight). I attended Mannes 1975-79, and have taught in the Extension Division since 1982. I was deriving that list of faculty from people I knew who were teaching when I attended, and from going through old Mannes catalogs. I don't have access to them at the moment, but indeed, Cortot is listed on the faculty (admitedly in a "Master class" situation) around 1922. A lot of refugees taught there in the war years (I believe Szell is among them). I'll add more as time permits. kosboot (talk) 23:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Hehe, yes we know each other although I've forgotten what you look like. My pic is on my blog: http://raremusic.wordpress.com - go to the "about" page (soon to change). Getting that PhD at CUNY was a real killer. Even at the time I'm convinced they just want the money - seems like few other institutions treat the students with such disregard. I corrected the citation in the Shlishkes article -- but it was funny to see "Kiryas, Joel" as a name. :) So "Braham" is a Jewish name? -- kosboot (talk) 14:34, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Leonardo

The "whole perspective thing" is where it is because the main article on Leonardo is extremely long. There is no room in it to discuss perspective in detail. Leonardo was first and foremost a painter, so his painting is dealt with in that article in about as much detail as space will allow, which means trying to cover briefly as many as possible of his 15 most significant works. Perspective is just one of the scientific studies that he applied to painting. Also anatomy, botany, geology etc. Let me put it in a different way- if Leonardo was Piero della Francesca, then a section headed Perspective would probably feature in a biography, regardless of how many pages it took up. But while his study and application of it is significant, Leonardo was not the pioneer of linear perspective. So it jjust ttakes its place ammong hhis other fields of ennquiry.

[edit] Hello!

Hi, nice to make your acquaintance. Looking at your music interests, I wonder if you've run across the work of my friend Jeannie Guerrero? She has published on multiple-perspective art and its influence on Luigi Nono and on Francesco (Landini)'s music, but not on perspective and Medieval music. Thanks for the contributions!

[edit] time/meter

excellent excursus on time and meter- should be in the article on musical meter (assuming there is one), not buried in discussion page to article on "music in unusual time signatures"

[edit] Codicology

I can certainly keep an eye on it, and may well dive in. You should also contact User:Dsmdgold , not very active currently, but who has done most of the illuminated Ms stuff we have, & is certainly knowledgeable. Johnbod (talk) 19:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your note

Hi Shlishke, that image, as described in its image page, is a screenshot of the table in the Wikipedia article The War Against the Jews, which is a book by Lucy Dawidowicz. Thanks, Crum375 (talk) 11:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hamlet (bibliographies)

Thank you for your message, and thank you also for writing the bibliographies article. I hadn't been aware it existed but now that I've added it to the template, it will be far more visible. There was some talk of creating a Hamlet Bibliography article (if you see what I mean) so one possibility to consider is that your article could evolve into that. Best wishes.

[edit] Peer review idea

Hi, I have made a proposal that no peer review request be archived without some response. To aid in this, there is a new list of PR requests at least one week old that have had no repsonses beyond a semi-automated peer review. This list is at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog.

There are just over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, so I figure if each of these volunteers reviewed just one or two PR requests without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog (as there have been 2 or 3 such unanswered requests a day on average).

If you would be able to help out with a review or two a month from the "no responses" backlog list that would be great (and much appreciated). Please discuss questions, comments, or ideas at the PR talk page and thanks in advance for your help, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 00:02, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your fast response and for agreeing to help. The archive for this month is at Wikipedia:Peer review/March 2008, last month is at Wikipedia:Peer review/February 2008, and so on. My idea was that the volunteers could do one or two a month, so whenever is fine - if everyone tried to do one right now and then waited a month, we would have a big backlog of reviews with no responses, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 00:58, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Augenmusik

Very fine indeed! Good work! I was going to recommend that you also ask Myke Cuthbert to have a look, but I see he's been on the talk page. Glad you got the Baude Cordier, Marenzio, Josquin, and some of the moderns like Crumb. I enjoyed the article; it's well-written and illustrated. I was about to pick through my three volumes of Einstein (coincidentally stacked up right next to me -- I was about to start working on madrigal (music) again) -- but I see you've used those as well. Hey, keep up the good work, and were you here I'd buy you a pint.  :) Best, Antandrus (talk) 14:05, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Btw -- not sure if I ever mentioned how much I'm enjoying seeing the article progress. It's really great; I hope to be able to make some contributions this summer (little things to a great article). Best, -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 21:51, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image linking

I don't really understand it either tbh. I'm going to have a hunt around the village pump etc and see what i can find. The summation so far seems basically to be that it's not something that's been discussed before, but hopefully the village pump will let more experienced wikipedians, and critically admins, see it and have their say. I'm not hugely fussed either way. One thing I am pretty sure of is that linking to external pictures is a bad idea, because it almost certainly removes any effort to determine and demonstrate fair use. We shall see :) Ged UK (talk) 17:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Guilloche

Hi, how are you? I see you joined us recently! Welcome and good luck!

Now about the “pronunciation thingie” I’m no expert in pronunciation thingies but, Merriam Webster has this “gi-ˈlōsh”, “gē-ˈ(y)ōsh” here: [1],and a “thingie” to listen to it here: [2] , and for the other way they give , listen to that here: [3].

However, according to the guy who thought me most of what I know about this subject, the “thingie” should be something like this, “Gil-u-shay”, because of the thingie over the letter E, in the original way its correctly written (guilloché) .

Well, and the other thing about “Niels Bohr”, his mother was Jewish, that makes him a Jew, at least as far as Halacha is concerned.

[edit] religious views of suicide

Hi,

I’m not sure what you mean, would you please care to elaborate?

Bloger (talk) 18:37, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean by “backwards” , do you mean the way its put in writing , (it can be written better!) or do you mean that is a bit contradictory? If that’s what you mean, I can explain, although true one has to give ones life rather than transgress one of the three cardinal sins, its only if someone else takes your life from you if you don’t transgress, but to take one self’s life is not a option, for example if you know with certainty that you wont be able to withstand not transgressing because – let’s say - The fashion in which the forcer will take your life will be especially painful, but you are ready to take a suicide pill without pain rather then transgress, well that won’t be an option.

BTW, what happens if someone couldn’t resist pain and transgresses, and if one needs at all to suffer severe pain (which can be harder then death in some cases, hence the capital punishment v prolonged imprisonment debate) rather then transgress, that’s a subject for itself, and should probably be added to self-sacrifice under Jewish law.

[edit] Request for Peer Review help

Thank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog. I have three requests to help this continue.

1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, ...

2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month.

3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_limits. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in.

Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 21:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
