[edit] Brandenn Bremmer

Filiocht, chaos has broken out around a VfD regarding the above, and I see you speedied it on May 6, so I'm wondering if you can help fill in what happened and suggest a course of action. Apparently it was deleted for copyvio in March (though there was also a VfD; I don't know why). Someone recreated it, and it again went up for VfD. As this second VfD was in progress, an editor put the speedy tag on it on March 6, and you deleted it a few hours later, even though the VfD was on-going. I'm assuming you did that because you discovered it was another copyvio. So my first question is: is that right? Was it another copyvio?

After you deleted it, someone recreated it on May 7, this time not as a copyvio, and it was again put up for VfD, it's third.

And so the question now is: should the second VfD votes (the VfD that was in progress when you deleted) be counted toward this third VfD, or should we start from scratch with a new, third vote? If you could add your opinion to Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/Brandenn Bremmer, that would be very helpful. I hope this explanation doesn't leave your head spinning as it has mine. ;-p SlimVirgin (talk) 00:49, May 8, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Main Page

Irish poetry: Your's I assume! Congratulations, I'll probably add a few paragraphs later. Giano | talk 07:11, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Is "The Good ship Venus" an Irish poem, I know that one by heart! Giano | talk 07:37, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Spot on! Well that's the enjoyable part of the morning over, off now to a four hour meeting to advise on the financial and legal implications of lifting an EEC directive on the components and constituency of concrete. Somehow this was not one of my childhood ambitions! Giano | talk 07:50, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Irish poetry on the Main page, lovely, congratulations! Would you like me to try out Rollback, Protect, or Delete (huh?) on it? Incidentally, did you see my suggestions about future audiences a little higher up? Stupid place to put them, I know, but the hints themselves may be of some value to you. --Bishonen | talk 09:10, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I'll be back

That's kind of you. The day job has started to interfere, and also there are things on the Italian Wiki I want to do, and there is just not the time to do all I want to, besides which I've rather written myself out here, and lost the inspiration, besides which I'm forgetting how to speak my own language, I shall look in often to see whats going on, and revert any edits on my pages I don't agree with, which will be most of them, I always have to have the last word! I shall return! Giano | talk 14:48, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Imagism

Your message reminded me: Are you really sure about citing Cubism as an analogy for Imagism? I recognise that most Cubist work focusses on a single object but it explores that object by unifying a multiplicity of images. It is my understanding that Imagism looks directly at the single object of its focus. Having given this some consideration, I can see no real parallel between Imagism and the contemporary visual arts movements: Symbolism is too allusive; Impressionism too holistic; Expressionism too distorting. The closest that I can find lies in the Zen Buddhist artistic tradition but that is hardly contemporary (by some 800 years) and Super-realism (decades too late). --Theo (Talk) 13:38, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Now that I understand just why you want to allude to Cubism, I think that you should do so in a sentence divorced from "an attempt at isolating a single image to reveal its essence", which is the core of Imagism. In effect the ethos of both movements may be the same but the implementation is quite different. Imagism isolates its object; Cubism synthesises a single image from multiple perspectives. Both are about a singularity of image. Is this a fair interpretation? --Theo (Talk) 14:27, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Not that anyone asked me, but I think I'm the harebrain who thought that analog up in this context. What I was emphasizing is that both a) were rejections of the narrative inherent in mimetic perspective and lyric poetry; b) sought, frankly, noumena: Pound's "make it new" and the Cubist effort to present the soul of a thing by phenomenologically surrounding it with all possible perspectives were both attempts at freeing the thingness of the thing from its temporal (your life is events, and objects appear in time in portraiture, allegory, and lyric poetry) context; c) were explict rejections of what both movements saw as bourgeoise art. One thesis on Modernism is that WW1 really got people furious at the Hegelian notion of "civilization," as they thought that civilization had led inexorably to the gas attacks. They therefore wanted to kill the bourgeoise "civilization" in hopes of finding a new, perhaps even non-teleological (depends on which brand of Modernism), art. Geogre 15:18, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
That is fascinating (excuse me editing your pipe). Please add the second part to Modernism. The first part would make an excellent note (a footnote, even) at the foot of Imagism. --Theo (Talk) 11:25, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Italian & Sicilian Poetry

Thanks for your help and note! I'll be glad to be part of the team. I'm trying to add some picture about Frederick II (1194-1250) and his court, but he's portrayed alone in the ones I've found. Looking forward to clean it up, though. I'm also adding more links at the bottom of project poetry. If you have suggestions on how to improve articles, let me know ;-) --Wikipedius 20:46, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Poetry analysis

What I was coming her to say before I was distracted by Geogre's fascinating addition to the Imagism section above was: Good afternoon. While you are enjoying your lunchtime potato, perhaps you could cast your poetic eye over the recently expanded Poetry analysis. --Theo (Talk) 11:30, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Well! I look in as I'm having a very quiet day,what do I find, Bishonen's talk page is becoming very dull isn't it, your's is not much better. See you are now branching into Sicilian poetry, be warned its very hard to understand and translate even into Italian and that's just the modern stuff, the rest is all a load of Greeky type stuff. I suppose I could write a poem for you .........perhaps not. Oh well good luck with the poets. Giano | talk 14:23, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] David Helvarg FAC

This afternoon I was having something of a crisis of wiki-confidence (along the lines of "clearly I lack the appropriate writing skills to contribute here; Fil is the only person to support the Helvarg FAC" and then Meelar weighs in with unstinting praise and my spirit soared. I had not realised that I was such a fragile flower! --Theo (Talk) 16:38, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm sure its fascinating in places, nothing like a good list, I always say. Have you noticed how that Helpvarg bloke looks like he's from Monty Python? Is there some biographical detail about him Theo has missed out? Giano | talk 08:29, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
replied on my page as this is becoming a general conversation Giano | talk 11:08, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Sigh ... and now I learn that FAC has a one week deadline from start; I thought it was one week from date of last unresolved objection. Ho hum. So FAC can fail if someone objects and then disappears. Mutter. Grumble. I do not know how to make this process work. RFC is not reliable: I got very few comments there; it looks like one has to simply get it right first time. More muttering. More grumbling. --Theo (Talk) 23:55, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Dcfleck has done a fine job on copyediting one section and plans to do more. I am having a real problem getting my head round the conflict between Michal Snow's suggestion that the article looks like puffery whilst others say that it does not make a strong enough case for what is special about the man. I think that the problem may be that Helvarg has only really attracted adverse criticism from one quarter (Wise Use). By and large he appears to have mobilised activists without goading their opponents. I will tinker with it again when Dcfleck has finished his polishing. Meanwhile there is a whole encyclopedia with which to play. --Theo (Talk) 07:59, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
In this case (and, I imagine, generally), the two objections are not directly opposed. I see it as my shortcoming that I cannot reconcile them. --Theo (Talk) 10:11, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of cultural references in The Divine Comedy

I might try to help out. I've only got a copy of the Inferno. And that's the only part I've read. It is a verse translation and introduction by Allen Mandelbaum (Bantam 1980). Plus I've no expertise at all in this or related fields. But I would suppose most of it will just be digging around. I'll see how it goes. Paul August ☎ 13:57, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Guido Cavalcanti

Hi Filiocht! I have just done Guido Cavalcanti, you may clean it up if you like. Hope we can add it to our list asap! Let me know... Have a good weekend! --Wikipedius 21:00, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing the article, I definitely agree on adding some Legacy. Your idea about linking Cavalvcanti to modern English poetry doesn't sound bad at all, please go ahead! I have seen you have reduced spaces, and that there is no separation between the sonnet and its translation. Maybe we might add the translation to the right rather than below? I have Donna me prega and we may include a quote and a comment? --Wikipedius 16:48, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
Awsome! We saved space and it looks real neat! I think the Legacy should be concise, but richer in links. I might add a more complete list of Guido Cavalcanti's works. I'm working on Donna me prega right now. Philosophy of love? Fascinating. We can start with casuistry but there are so many authors... we should make selection. I may work on the 14th - 17th centuries, and perhaps you might do romanticism & modernism in the Legacy? Just an idea... I think you'll find lots of reference to Dolce Stil Novo in some passages of the Waste Land (we can quote a few!). --Wikipedius 13:16, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
I have seen you're adding refences to modernism. Found something in the Waste Land? I've squeezed in the titles of GC's most important works. However, the translations I have provided between parantheses do not necessarily match the titles by which they're known. But I think they may be more literal. Just finished reading / paraphrasing "Donna me prega". --Wikipedius 18:02, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Great job! This will help us interest more readers: it can be added to Ezra pound, T.S. Eliot and Modernism (...) and I can pass it on to the Portale Letteratura on the Italian Wiki! I'm adding some' on GC's earlier legacy (14th-18thc) in the weekend. Ciao, --Wikipedius 19:46, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Sorry for being late, I was hoping to get more on my GC's legacy part. However, I found a couple of papers linking GC to Pound and Eliot. I'll have more info tomorrow ;-) --Wikipedius 00:04, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hi there, thanks for the link. I've just finished Guido's Legacy. I've also found this essay on Donna me Prega at http://www.heliotropia.org/02-01/usher.shtml. Thought you might be interested. --Wikipedius 21:07, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Irish

Would you say they're distinctly Irish? I never really read them that way...do you have an example?

Cheers,

--Yossarian 08:43, May 30, 2005 (UTC)

Very true. I would say he's neither as well. Godot's tricky though...there are a number of references to the French countryside, French currency, and (that most Frankish of symbols) the Eifel Tower. However, that doesn't necessarily make it a French play...Vladimir and Estragon have a distinctly Irish feel (despite their names). It's probably best not to categorize Beckett by nationality. He kind of rises above that sort of thing...he's such a world figure.
Thanks for the reply!
-- Yossarian 09:56, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
Haven't seen that one...nor can I find an example of it. Do you know of an online image of it? I have a passion for all things related to Godot. It comes from studying it over extensively in high school and college.
Cheers,
--Yossarian 10:14, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
Danke!

[edit] User:El C

Hey, Fil, I didn't realize until just now just how forked the Sam Spade uproar was, with threads on both WP:AN/I, where I commented and WP:3RR, where you did (and on WP:AN itself, too). I was very glad to find yours in there. In case you haven't yet seen that the business panned out reasonably well, check out this. Best, Bishonen | talk 08:15, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] You're welcome

I just call them like I see them, which doesn't garner me favor many times, but this one is definitely impressive. See we do agree on at least some things :). - Taxman Talk 12:27, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

Eh, well, live and learn. I even learned a few things as a result of our disagreements, where you were right and I was wrong. That shows you're even a better arguer than most. So it's all for the better in the long run it seems. - Taxman Talk 13:22, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cantos list format

Hi Filiocht, I'd like to continue our discussion of the format of the Cantos list outside of the context of the featured list candidates page, if you don't mind. I guess my first question is, do you have any problems with the formatting of the two examples I posted in the talk page? If so, what are they, and if not, do you feel that other entries might not fit this format well? If so, which ones? I hope I'm not harping on this issue too much, but as I've said before, I think that if this list is organized consistently, it will be a more accesible and valuable resource. Let me know what you think. I'm adding your talk page to my watchlist, so you can respond here if you'd prefer. Thanks. --Spangineer ∞ 14:59, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

I've added two more possible format options to the talk page; let me know what you think. Neither mentions a Canto more than once. One is entirely based on Canto order, and the other puts the specific references in order and the more general ones at the end. Let me know what you think about them if you could. --Spangineer ∞ 11:04, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

Hello! I just read on the signpost about the featured lists. And i had to laugh when i saw the number and sort of objections on the candidates: what devils have you unleashed?!?! This will be huge fun!... Cheers, muriel@pt 16:26, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Minor poets

What do you mean, real world? Are you trying to insinuate that what we're doing here isn't real? If you're not famous there, you deserve at least some small fame for your work here. --Michael Snow 16:37, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks, and will try to help out with Dante list

Filiocht, thanks for your vote in support of my admin nomination. By the way, I will try to look in on User:Filiocht/List of cultural references in The Divine Comedy occasionally, and help out a bit, time, energy and mood permitting — you do realize I'm an uncouth mathematician right? — Paul August ☎ 17:24, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Is this the List Supervisor's office?

(I'm busy with admin tasks for a few days (ban! zap! blam boom!) and you guys sink to featuring lists and creating polls about the names of Eyetalian provinces? Wiki at its most exciting.) Filiocht, when I saw your list of cultural references in the Cantos on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates, the spirit of emulation made me go look for my own literary list, List of books with the subtitle Virtue Rewarded. But it had gone missing--look at that redlink! :-( I seem to remember, vaguely, that it keeps doing that. :-( I was thinking it might have made a good Featured List. It hasn't been deleted AFAIK, but it might have been moved. Excuse me, sir, did somebody hand it in at the desk? It had Richardson's Pamela on it, and Colley Cibber's Love's Last Shift, and, well, several other books. I do think it's comprehensive, as I've checked the LOC, and there simply aren't any more books in existence with "virtue rewarded" as part of the title. I have several ideas for the image, that can definitely be arranged. And it's accurate all right, nursed with the full bishonen pedantry, though I'm not the sole contributor by any means. And so with the other critera. [Voice rising to a wail] can you find my list? Bishonen | talk 01:51, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Fil, I was hoping my list would make you think "quality" and "high culture"! Now for the criteria... it doesn't have a lead section or references yet, but they shouldn't be hard to supply . Here's a question: a reference section that duplicates the list itself would have a certain logic about it, but no real usefulness. What do you think of an annotated reference section, or one that includes secondary sources? (And of starting a "Featured References" category? (Featured Footnote! There's a page for the userspace! (Featured Parenthesis?))) Bishonen | talk 07:59, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 1 + 1 = 1

Mathematics is just another kind of poetry, The Two Cultures are really one. Paul August ☎ 13:27, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 1 + 1 = 3

One plus one equals three for large values of one. Example: The Cantos and List of cultural references in The Cantos taken together are at least three articles. Bishonen | talk 14:54, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No, no, no - 1+1 = 1 for large values of one. Sigh. -- ALoan (Talk) 16:23, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
How do you figger, ALoan..? Take 1.4, a pretty large value of 1 (i. e., rounded to one digit it becomes 1). 1.4 + 1.4 = 2.8, which rounded to one digit is 3. Why not? And why are you dissing Filiocht's articles? Bishonen | talk 03:23, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Why are you all trying to make my head hurt with your numbers? Filiocht | Blarneyman 07:16, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
1.4 is not a very large value for 1 - see infinity. -- ALoan (Talk) 08:00, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Now infinity I can understand, having lived in Spain. Filiocht | Blarneyman 08:03, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
OK, ALoan, stating that it's within the context of rounding to the next natural number makes it too obvious to be any fun, so I'll gracefully throw the towel at you (rather hard). Fil, have an aspirin, take a look at Large cardinals, have you ever seen a more attractive list? Bishonen | talk 10:20, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Dear boy, it seems that you need my help more than I need yours. Cancel that order for hair. Your great work is so near nascence that I feel obliged to blow the dust of dear Dante and weigh in. A long acquaintance and dining companion translated Inferno but, sadly, my 'new' home renders him inaccessible. If you confirm that you work near the airport or wish to email me your home address I will (eventually) send you some aid to your labours on AD's DC. --Theo (Talk) 13:20, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Enjoy your Temple Classic. I am going to tour a brewery (and, yes, before you ask, I did arrange it) and play some board games. A quick hunt has revealed that Dante in various editions lies boxed in the room where we unloaded books, games and music when we moved in 18 months ago. Since the boxes stack floor to ceiling, finding a specific volume is a severe challenge. --Theo (Talk) 15:22, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Heh heh. Saw your edit to the features/admins section of the signpost – didn't you like me giving you all the credit for FLC? =) You're right though; I'll try to be better about mentioning others that help out in the future... --Spangineer (háblame) 12:32, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

I don't know when you get back, but if you get a chance, please take a look at User:Spangineer/newfeatures, preferably sometime before about 18:00 UTC tomorrow. I'd like another person involved in the FLC debate (particularly one who doesn't entirely agree with me) to take a look at the article and make sure the write-up is NPOV. Also, please let me know if I'm coming across as heavy handed in this discussion—I realized that right after I unilaterally asked that your Cantos list be organized, I began spouting off on what the FLC requirements should be. I tend to speak my mind once I'm fairly sure of myself, and I hope that I'm being helpful and not a nuisance. As for the organization of your list, if you take a look at the first sentence of my personality profile following the quote, you might understand better where I'm coming from. I love organizing things if I think it will make them easier to use, so if you approve of one of the organization patterns I propsed, I'll do the organizing work and try to bother you as little as possible. But if you prefer it the way it is, I'll cease and desist =). Hope you have/had a great weekend! --Spangineer (háblame) 20:50, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

OK, the list stays as is. As for WP:FARC, I didn't actually see it until Nichalp pointed it out. That story will be in this monday's issue. --Spangineer (háblame) 12:15, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

Exactly how unassuming was Charles Shadwell's œuvre, and is the Irish connection significant? Can you really talk about Brilliant Prose if it doesn't have the word "albeit" in it?

Filiocht, suddenly disagreeing becomes more fun—did you see Nichalp complaining of my discourtesy at Wikipedia talk:Featured article removal candidates? I've replied, feel free to comment if you wish and as you wish [casually breaking out the thumbscrews]. Nichalp is the standard-bearer for your cause, I believe. If you do go there, don't forget the poteen, the nurse, the flashing eyes, the floating hair, and a light picnic!

Excellent - thanks. -- ALoan (Talk) 14:57, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Er, if they are sockpuppets, the charge is presumably that they are all aliases of the same person: in that case, does it matter which it the "person" and which is the sockpuppet? (But I agree with your process point: discussions on IRC and the mailing list have no place unless links are added somewhere here - some of us don't use the damn things.) -- ALoan (Talk) 15:11, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi - something strange happened when you promoted Ohio - the text appeared in the Birds of North America sub-page...

All of the nominations are now transcluded onto WP:FLC, so you can just remove the {{Wikipedia:Features list candidates/whatever}} on FLC and copy that line to the promoted or failed archive, instantly copying the text - there is no need to blank the sub-page (indeed, that is bad, as {{FL}} and {{FLCfailed}} both link directly to the sub-page). HTH. -- ALoan (Talk) 21:59, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for letting me know. If you have an alternative address to give me I'll send to that. Bishonen | talk 12:02, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Swedish Babes Want to FARC You by E-mail!!!!!

Filiocht, I saw your lament to Bishonen about an e-mail getting snagged by what I presume to be an obscenity filter. Do you want a Gmail invitation? I have about 50 laying around, and Google would love for me to spend a few. (Hint: it's a good way to set up your Wikipedia name as your e-mail name. E.g. my gmail name is geogre, so if I get wikipedia e-mail, I can reply without giving away my superhero secret identity.) Just let me know, on my user page, if you'd like an invite and/or send me a Wikipedia e-mail saying so, and I'll send you an invitation. Geogre 03:25, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yayyy!!! Tomorrow the world!!! Oops! I mean: Thank you for the proposal that led to my successful upgrade to admin permissions. I have noted Geogre's offer and implemented it myself since I already had your address.—Theo (Talk) 06:44, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Better than The Cantos? I am unsure whether to be concerned for you or honoured.—Theo (Talk) 10:55, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A week? A week! [Exits huffily].—Oversensitive (Don't even speak to me!) 13:24, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

OK, now I will talk to you. What do you want me to say?—Still touchy (Speak cautiously!) 13:24, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oooo … yes! Now I feel much better! Still no rollback, though. I keep needing to explain reverts (and a good thing too: one has just been reverted with a top class edit summary).—Theo (Talk) 14:13, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eight

Yes - 8.

The point is really that the content was there already, but, due to their format, the lists never stood a chance of becoming featured articles. I think some of them are really excellent - the satellites, for example - although there seems to be a bit of a cricket theme at the moment :) -- ALoan (Talk) 12:05, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

List of poets? (No, I am not serious ;) -- ALoan (Talk) 13:42, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Still in Limbo?

Filiocht, you didn't add Lucretia, Julia, Marcia and Cornelia (Inf. IV, 128) was this intentional? Or are you still in Limbo ;-) Paul August ☎ 16:50, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Policy enforcement indeed

I am so rivetted that I am going out to get my hair cut.—Talk to to the fur 10:38, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: Wharton County Junior College

re: I consider it equally poor etiquette to delete a page without reading the history

No, I have not done that per se. But I have deleted a few articles without checking "what links here". I forget the specific ones but if I turned them into redirects in the first place, I wouldn't have the same vandals try to re-create that nonsense again. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 11:23, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Revert

Sorry, I was trying to revert something else. I think was looking at an old page (NOT the "Current Version") when did it. My apologies for the screw-up. I re-reverted, and hopefully didn't munge THAT edit, too. --Calton | Talk 11:49, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, totally sad

Thank you, and good night. Filiocht | Talk 13:22, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
