L'Upupa und der Triumph der Sohnesliebe

Hi, thanks for your note. In this case I actually couldn't work out why the link didn't work. I think it was the apostrophe! I do agree with you about redirects though . . . - Kleinzach 16:04, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Missing

Yikes! No articles on formes fixes, rondeau (music) ... guess we're not done yet... ;-) Antandrus (talk) 04:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Minor trouble

This sounds stupid, but I'm having trouble getting pictures on Wikipedia to come up on my computer. I just get a blank space, with a red cross in the corner. The problem only seems to apply to Wikipedia, though sporadically beforehand other websites have misfunctioned in this fashion. Do you have any idea as to what the problem might be and, even better, how to fix it? If it's any help, I've got Windows XP and use Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Too many composers, too little time

[1] LOL, actually there are probably numerous duplications there, I made that page by querying out the links from a whole bunch of different lists, do these comma splices remind you of anyone we both know and love? Hope you had a great 4th! Antandrus (talk) 00:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I had already read Leonora Sanvitale (nice job!). I also trimmed back my to-do list a bit: there are now some better editors than me in some areas ;-) . Now I'm fixing a few redirects prior to tackling a really big one, for which I've been reading up for a while (musique mesurée). And I really long for though are those three volumes of Einstein .... maybe I can find them at a garage sale somewhere ... :-) Have fun with Ferrara! Antandrus (talk) 03:37, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps as a corollary to the famous "everything tastes more or less like chicken", everything in France "more or less relates to Cheese." --Although as I write this I'm listening to Nicolas Gombert, who is more like very fine wine... Antandrus (talk) 03:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Muddle of the Médées

Thanks for having a go at these. I was blissfully unaware of the muddle. I have changed Médée (Charpentier opera) to Médée (Charpentier), which I hope is correct (assuming he didn't also write an oratorio on the same subject or anything). The Cherubini, I think, ought to be Médée (opera) - as it is listed on the opera corpus - but I can't move it unless I do cut and paste (which is bad style I understand). Assuming you agree is it possible to do an admin on it? Best. - Kleinzach 10:49, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. "Médée (Cherubini)" might be a solution although we normally have the main contender as X (opera) and the second as X (composer). On the other hand having two disambiguation pages might be a bit, er, ambiguous. Or are you thinking along different lines? - Kleinzach 15:26, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Is the Cherubini one that much more likely to be the intended target?" - Perhaps, but I am not really familiar with either of them. I'm not sure anybody has sung the Cherubini much since Callas.

". . . unless you think Cherubini is far more likely to be someone's intended search I think the titles should be Médée (Cherubini) and Médée (Charpentier)". OK I'll try to implement this. - Kleinzach 17:54, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Hi Makemi! I know we haven't interacted much (though, looking at your userpage, we would have a lot to talk about, especially classical music and Latin), but I saw your quick and decisive removal and block of the troll at User talk:Jimbo Wales, and I decided that this (combined with all of the other actions I've seen on your logs) more than warranted a barnstar. Feel free to move/copy it to your userpage. Keep up the good work- we always need admins who are willing to protect Wikipedia, and not coddle those who threaten to disrupt it. Feel free to send me a message anytime should you need help or advice. EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 19:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up tag

Just so you know, the {{cleanup-date}} tag only uses month and year for the first parameter, not the full date, as you can see in Category:Cleanup by month. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah...

It looks to me like you may have thought he was talking about the article, while in reality he was talking about the talk page. It seems he edited other people's comments (something I never do, no matter how full of misspellings and grammatical burrs). Misunderstandings happen. :-) Coincidentally, I just sent you an e-mail about something else. Antandrus (talk) 19:12, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah

Ah, I see. Hope it works. Herostratus 01:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

And there's so much more to write ... and to learn, and hopefully not cross over the WP:NOR boundary. Some of the people involved in the "secret music" movement in France had recently spent time in Venice and... and.... just maybe.... 'cause it's so close.... the other place. We need to find out. :-) I was just trying to explain this all to "lay" people at dinner tonight, how in the Renaissance they actually believed that if you sang in a certain meter and in a certain mode it could make you a better person, even a non-violent one; and they certainly had a reason for longing for those changes in Paris in the 1570s, thinking of poor Claude Goudimel or Antoine de Bertrand (or, for that matter, Anna Guarini...) Fun stuff, and so much more exciting than reverting "poo" from hundreds of articles. Have a great evening too! Antandrus (talk) 04:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Médée (Charpentier)

Hey Mak, you might just still be writing this article, but I was wondering whether it was custumary to leave blank sections as you did with "Synopsis" if there's a section that clearly needs to exist for the article, but that you don't have the resources or desire to write at the time. Still learning some stylistic things. And nice work with the new articles. MarkBuckles 05:51, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

repost

Ah okay, I thought any recreation of any deleted content was forbidden unless it went through a request process?--Crossmr 04:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks Makemi for the post, look forward to Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Istheway2 (talk • contribs)

Well thanks, hi back! No, I haven't done any editing before--I just cut and paste the links so I know they'll work. Cheers!

Vandalism

The same anon has just put the same spammy AOL link into both "Baroque music" (which you reverted) and "Opera" (which I reverted). I think that he needs to be dealt with - either blocked or given his very last warning. Cheers, Moreschi 19:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good. "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow"; I suppose that this is living proof of that saying. Cheers, Moreschi 19:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Fairy-Queen

The article's reached the top of its category on the GA nominations page. I rather panicked and carried out some drastic revisions. I think that the new bibliography section looks good, but is the deletion of the list of actors O.K with you? As you can see, I've provided a link to the play, explaining about the removal of Hippolyta. Moreschi 17:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, I didn't use those books as sources so a separate bibliographic section should be O.K. I agree that the GA review process is terminally slow; my Pro Milone nomination spent absolute donkey's years (probably over a month) on the list before being passed. Any slower and we'd be travelling backwards in time. In fact, once I remember copy-editing an article that was also on the GA list so that it would be passed quicker so that my Milone would get reviewed quicker! However, do you want me to review the articles in question? There's no reason why I shouldn't; I certainly haven't contributed to them in any way and have no personal POV on either of the two subjects. Fingers crossed for The Fairy-Queen. Cheers, Moreschi 18:00, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave my comments on the articles's talk pages. Moreschi 18:43, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We surely don't need to expand on the development of the libretto, do we? My reasoning for this is on the talk page, but it seems superfluous.

It was only a very minor quibble for Concerto, and definitely no problem. Amazing article, by the way (and my review of Trobairtz is on the way). Cheers, Moreschi 18:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A Thank You

Thanks for responding so thouroughly and promptly to my query! Always appreciated! PS: Kudos for valiantly striving to use my system! --Josh, user:POLLUX 21:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: My RfA

ummm . . . I think I'll take your advice . . . . Thanks for it!! --Josh, user:POLLUX 16:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is this an okay removal / deletion of my RfA? Thanks for all of your help, Mak! --Josh, user:POLLUX 16:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah - I got your post . . . all I can say is 'oops' . . . --Josh, user:POLLUX 16:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Margherita Gonzaga d'Este

Hey there, could you look into providing the missing volume, issue and page numbers for the nutter reference in this article? Thanks a lot. Circeus 23:10, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed presentation now. Thanks a lot! Circeus 23:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Makemi: i am not sure what i am doing; i am an amateur. i am really not trying to create new articles, but only lists. i thoght that was what was suggested.joe 03:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

On July 15, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Margherita Gonzaga d'Este, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thank you

For your translations. I have corrected some mistakes you made, but it's a great job nevertheless. Best regards, RCS 08:13, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Guess who's trying to come back?

Check out this edit. Seems she's managed to get herself put into an episode of "That's So Raven" at tv.com. (They allow unverified information there, and sometimes IMDB will pick it up.) So keep an eye out for her to reappear under a slightly changed name. Fan-1967 01:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. Let me know if she creates any pages. Mak (talk) 21:17, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
