Photo Request: Zaragoza Museo de Tapices

Hi Yodin! Yes, I'm from Zaragoza although living now in Germany (I didn't update the Photographers table for years :-S). Anyway, I usually travel to Zaragoza three or four times a year, next time will be probably at the end of May/beginning of June. If waiting is not a problem for you, I can for sure go then to the museum and take some photos of the tapestry, it shouldn't be any problem :-) Regards! --<span style="color:#339966;"><b>Willtron</b></span> (<span style="color:#006600;"><b>?</b></span> ↗) 15px ↗ 07:42, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Popular Tales and Romances of the Northern Nations ↗

You're welcome. I'd never heard of this book before, and I'm intrigued. You need not have read it, of course, but if you have should I be reading it as well? Does it bear comparison with Carlyle ↗'s ''German Romance'' for example? --Antiquary (talk) 09:02, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

:The translations are very hit and miss, definitely not as good as Carlyle, but there are some interesting stories in there. I haven't read all of them yet (I'm slowly working my way through adding ↗ them ↗ on Wikisource ↗), but though some of these translations seem to have been quite influential (e.g. for Stevenson's "Bottle Imp ↗", Poe's "Ligeia ↗", and for including the first ''Nibelungenlied ↗'' story to be translated into English), I think the works they inspired tend to be much better. I was drawn to the book as it had a complete translation of one of the ''Fantasmagoriana ↗'' stories (the same one as Carlyle's ''German Romance''; I find it interesting that he chose to translate three others from ''Popular Tales'' too), but finally decided to start the article when I came across some quite obscure sources that give some of the possible translators (De Quincey seemed to be the only one identified in recent academic mentions of the book). The article's very much still in progress though – I think there's a bound to be a better way to write the Translators section, there are more contemporary reviews, which all need to be summarised more concisely than the ones there now, and there is some academic coverage of De Quincey's involvement with the book too (he worked closely with the publisher Bohte, who probably deserves his own article too). Would also be great to find a reliable source that identifies the original version of "The Magic Dollar" (the only theory I can find is ISFDB claiming the author is la Motte Fouqué, probably assuming it's just a variant of "The Bottle-Imp"). Looking through the articles you've written, any advice on improving the article that occurs to you would be much appreciated! ‑‑<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">Yodin</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>T</sup></span> 17:10, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

::Yes, I suppose it always was going to be unlikely that they were up to the Carlyle standard, but my curiosity remains. I'll try them. I wouldn't, by the way, read too much into Carlyle's having chosen four stories from ''Fantasmagoriana'': his letters make it clear that he was having a hard job finding much German fiction up there in 1820s Scotland, so he wouldn't have had much scope for rejecting stories. I find it difficult to give anyone advice on the composition of their WP articles since my own method is just to write up every data point I can find and then heap them together in such order as might give the illusion there was some sort of reasoned thought at work. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I tend to concentrate on the literary-biographical and bibliographical aspects of my subject and often fight shy of summarising modern criticism, since I'm not sure that opinion, even expert opinion, really has a place here. But I may be wrong. "The Magic Dollar" is ascribed to La Motte Fouqué by the Ashley and Contento ''Supernatural Index ↗'', which is perhaps ISFDb's source, but is either of them reliable enough to use? I suppose you've tried feeding sample phrases from each of the stories into Google Books to see if they turn up in some collection by De Quincey or whoever else? In some ways GB allows you to be a better bibliographer than the greatest experts in the 20th century were. --Antiquary (talk) 18:28, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
:::Thank you! And I couldn't agree more about Google Books etc. making so much possible that would have taken a lifetime or more to find otherwise – will try as you suggest. ‑‑<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">Yodin</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>T</sup></span> 19:27, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Mrs Henry Rolls (Mary Hillary)

Yodin - great to see your work on this lady - my 3rd g-grandmother. My wife and i visited All Saints Church Aldwinckle last year and were surprised to find that her remains are under the altar in that place. I'll try to edit the entry (my first time at doing so!) to update IBW54 (talk) 23:43, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

:{{ping|IBW54}} Thanks for the edit, and welcome to Wikipedia :) I've added the standard welcome template to your talk page (though it looks like you've already worked out how to edit, and add links, etc.), and have looked over the Mary Rolls ↗ article again. I started the article when I was researching ''The Literary Magnet ↗'', which had published some of her poems, and thought I would make an article for her at the same time, so it's currently just a brief outline of her life; please add to the article if you'd like! And let me know if I can help or you have any questions. --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">Yodin</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>T</sup></span> 07:17, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks - my wife and I travelled from Brisbane to the UK last year to dig up some dead relatives so I have a little bit on her and her more famous brother Sir William - who founded the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Over the years I've found a lot of her poems in the Magnet and its like - including one published on the front page of a Sydney newspaper in 1840 - "The Deluge". The British Library has published some of her works in the last decade or so. Once I can figure out how to navigate the maze of copyright stuff I'll try to attach the photo of her plaque which I expect was paid for by brother William as he gives himself billing too!

Innogen . . < Gr. inno + gen?? - good catch!

That was good thinking, checking out the notion tht the name Innogen originates with Greek lexemes meaning "beloved child". I interpret your findings more bold ↗ly, as establishing tht the Corgi-published source is wishful thinking, and I've zapped ↗ the idea completely out of the article.

Ways to improve Annie O. Tibbits

Hello, Yodin,

Thank you for creating Annie O. Tibbits ↗.

I have tagged the page ↗ as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process ↗ and note that:

{{Quote|1=Thanks for creating this article. The (small number of) ancestry.com links appear to be to genealogical data and therefore may involve doing original research to be sure that the family records are for the correct person. It’s better to find published sources where the authors have done the original research and the editor/publisher has verified the information.}}

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Northernhenge<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. Remember to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse ↗.

<small>Delivered via the Page Curation ↗ tool, on behalf of the reviewer.</small>

MOS:LQ

Hi Yodin, I just noticed this edit ↗ with a pointer to MOS:LQ ↗ in the edit summary. I verified the second occurrence, and it looks like the period was present in the quoted text, so your change of ''{{xt|"...Holy Scripture as false."}}'' to ''{{!xt|"...Holy Scripture as false".}}'' goes directly against the guideline that you quoted — see the cited source https://inters.org/Bellarmino-Letter-Foscarini ↗. I see a handful more occurrences of moving a period ''out'' of a quotation, where it looks like the period was likely ''present'' in the quoted text. Could you have a careful review of the LQ-changes that you made, and make the relevant corrections? Thanks. - DVdm (talk) 22:02, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

By the way, I also checked this one, changing ''{{xt|"...is at least erroneous in faith."}}'' into ''{{!xt|"...is at least erroneous in faith".}}, where again the period is clearly present in the quoted source — see https://web.archive.org/web/20070930013053/http://astro.wcupa.edu/mgagne/ess362/resources/finocchiaro.html#conreport ↗. - DVdm (talk) 22:16, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

:Thanks for checking these, but they aren't full sentences. MOS:LQ ↗ says {{tq|If the quotation is a single word or a sentence fragment, place the terminal punctuation outside the closing quotation mark.}} i.e. even if the sentence fragment ends with a punctuation mark, it should be placed outside the quotation marks – only full quoted sentences should include the final punctuation mark as part of the quote. --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">Yodin</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>T</sup></span> 11:01, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
:: Thanks for having carefully double-checked {{smiley}}. Good point! Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 11:54, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas ↗

You are invited to participate in the '''Destubathon of the Americas ↗''', a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ <span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span> 17:45, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
