Hello, Maculosae tegmine lyncis, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
I want to commend you an all of your content creations. Secondly where did you get your name from. Sounds kind of sciency. mauchoeagle(c)03:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. Not science though, it's from the Aeneid - 'the hide of a dappled lynx', supposedly worn by the virgin huntress sister of Venus - and from there is borrowed for the Inferno for one of the three beasts symbolizing concupiscence...
Your work is the best thing I've found in Misplaced Pages - though I hope you will be doing the same for ICPs shortly... I've found it a fantastic resource as I've tried to find my way around and would be very pleased to help where I can, especially on populating the intangibles. Thank you for the invite, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 22:30, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Egg and spoon DYK
Hi: You wanted this to run in the evening on 27 July, but it's already in a prep. In case you'd still rather it run at the start of the Olympics (I presume that's the idea but I'm honestly not sure of the exact dates of the pesky things), I wanted to give you a heads-up to ask for the nomination to be unclosed and put in the special occasions holding area. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:16, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Welcome, Daughter of Yngvi (er, perhaps your Latin's better than my Icelandic); yes, that was my original hope - but it looks like there's pressure to keep the number of sporty hooks down over the period, so I'm not going to kick up a stink; thanks though, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 03:57, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
Yup, Yngvi-Freyr '-) Your Icelandic/Old Norse may well be better than my Latin :-) OK then, pity, but it does make a fine picture hook. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:09, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
Michael Portillo
The case pages should now be locked, since the case closed, so I thought I'd answer here. I picked Portillo deliberately - his timing was exquisite. That interview with the Times badly took the wind out of the sails of the rest of the press. Much better than trying to get a superinjunction, which just guarantees that whatever you're trying to hide is plastered all over the entire internet for weeks. Portillo must always have known that some day it would come out - realistically, Fae should have not expected to be able to keep his pre-Fae activities separate from his post-Fae persona once he had achieved a Wikimedia profile as a 'real person'. He was just too late in acknowledging this. Maybe Portillo just had better advisers. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 12:33, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for taking the time to drop by; interesting parallel - perhaps a greater understanding of how bloodlust is unlikely to leave any skeletons in the closet and lesser expectations of privacy; I know nothing of User:Fæ's misdemeanours, just have come across some of his articles and once spent a happy afternoon in his company plotting things GLAM; since blocks/bans are preventative rather than punitive, I just wonder whether it really is in everyone's best interests to ban someone sufficiently knowledgeable and capable to appear in Parliament, especially since he's explicitly undertaken to leave any more questionable activities behind; when searching for the diff for his apology I chanced upon some of the vile abuse his page attracts; I guess in the end it boils down to compassion, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 14:26, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
I don't know the chap really, and wouldn't like to say whether he was trying to avoid old problems coming to light or avoid being connected to the photos of himself displaying his more unusual - but perfectly legal - interests, or what his concern was. But he seems to be such a flamboyant and outspoken character that it was pretty inevitable that some faction would come after him - there's way too much politics on the go in this project. It is his attempts to keep a lid on it that blew up on him, not the original problems (or even the photos). There's a six month 'break' clause in the ban - hopefully putting six months distance between himself and all this controversy will allow him to return to editing and be left alone by both his current opponents and the peanut gallery. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
The source cited does not exist. I believe its premise may have failed fact checking (but perhaps only after it was initially put online, then immediately removed?), in either, I hope you agree it is not a good source if it has been retracted by the publisher. 60.224.166.33 (talk) 03:56, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the response - but you can find the article here ; just a quick word of advice: this general area is, as you can imagine, fraught with difficulties - and blocks and bans of editors are two-a-penny; it was partly to save you from being given a warning for being a vandal or sock puppet or something that I descended upon your page; in general, be doubly sure what you're doing abides by the rules bandied around here, like Neutral Point of View and Reliable Sourcing, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 05:38, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Good question - per The Rest Is Noise it's The Flying Dutchman Overture as Sight-Read by a Bad Spa Orchestra by the Village Well at Seven in the Morning; per the recording I have knocking around somewhere it's Overture to the "Flying Dutchman" as played at sight by a second-rate Concert Orchestra at the Village Well at 7 o'clock in the morning, but that seems to miss out the Kur bit, which I think's related not to Cur but to thermal cure; please, pretty please... Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 12:18, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
That article is missing in English! "Kurkapelle" is a standard term for an orchestra playing in a spa to entertain the "Kurgäste". The first translation is better, but this English capitalisation makes it look less funny, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:37, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
ps: looking closer: "village well" may be the typical translation for "Brunnen", but I don't know a village that is a spa, "second-rate" is wrong, German has "zweitklassig", but this one is plain "bad", "vom Blatt" might be "prima vista", --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:41, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Agreed on all counts; the first looks better apart from the over-capitalisation; re Brunnen, "village" seems to be a slight embellishment/poetic license to emphasize the mediocrity and suggest this isn't a leading metropolitan ensemble - certainly sounds better even if not strictly accurate, and there's now good precedent... (or "local" as an alternative if there's an issue with spa-towns being towns? a nice point that could easily be missed by those without the relevant cultural background); "bad" seems much better/more accurate, and I think there's little risk of it being misread as the orchestra of a bad spa; and I really like prima vista for vom Blatt, although I guess it's going to have to stay as sight-read; The Flying Dutchman Overture as sight-read by a bad spa orchestra at the _____ well at 7 in the morning ?

Watching with pleasure, you don't need me ;) When one of my red links was born, Hindemith, a friend of the Jung family in Rüdesheim, composed a Rag, music lost, but entry in the guest book, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:20, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Great, thanks; I'm sure you're right about further expansion potential and I'll probably come back to it at some point, if and when I stumble upon something; I never lose hope that one of the purposes of dyk is to draw people into expanding and improving works very much still in progress, even if it doesn't often happen while on the front page, in my limited experience; sometimes, as here, there are big improvements while on the nominations page, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 02:31, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
I like Schon gewusst - but shouldn't there be an umlaut? I hadn't realized you were so active in both directions - and so many views for the Safir! Interesting picture, but including the Raphael is too distracting; as for altos - looks like you've unearthed another form of WP:BIAS, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 09:54, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I've reverted your addition to the Parthenogenesis page for biological reasons, and wonder if you have ideas about how this can be dealt with in a more satisfactory way. It has long been a problem that people want to add the virgin birth of Jesus to the Parthenogenesis page, but biological parthenogenesis in mammals cannot produce a male offspring. Would you be happy with what I've just added to the page, a hatnote as follows:
"Not to be confused with the Virgin birth of Jesus, sometimes called parthenogenesis, but unlike known biological processes"? (Please pardon my ignorance of theology.) Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:57, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
That looks like an excellent way of addressing things - and perhaps also gives a succinct and easy-to-understand introduction for those who are looking for "just" the biological term, thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 15:55, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
I appreciate your goood-faith edit, and it is possible that other editors would have liked this title as well. But as far as I can tell, there hasn't been any agreement on the talk page about this, except for 1 editor named Nishidani. Can you please explain where you got this, as you wrote "per talk page?"
Not at all - that's why I asked you. Look, I'm not interested in an argument, I have no need. I just want to discuss in a friendly and cooperative way here. I suggested one thing, and another editor Nishidani suggested another. You chose the latter to name the title as. If you felt "there's reasoning enough," then that's wholly different than "per talk page," which implies it was agreed upon there, and it'd be more appropriate for you to add your comment to the talk page itself, so we can see how many editors support that naming. But it's not self-evident at all, since only 1 other editor, Nishidani, simply stated that's the title he/she likes. Why his/her title, why not mine? Why not wait till mor editors can contribute their opinion? That's what is not self-evident. Thanks. --Activism123401:09, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your answer. All I needed to know was you couldn't answer the question. That was all. Have a terrific day/night. --Activism123417:23, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
DYK for Margarita Luti
On 3 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Margarita Luti, which you created or substantially expanded.

On 7 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ludwig van (film), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the fragments of Beethoven's music in the soundtrack of Kagel's film Ludwig van are modified to imitate the way the deaf composer heard his own work?

I read your Ludwig with great interest while on the nominations page; by coincidence I'd been swotting up a little about the ruins of the Frauenkirche preserved as a monument to barbarism that very day; interesting parallel with the Parthenon here, apparently left in ruins for a generation or so in accordance with the "oath of Plataea" before Pericles came along; I spent a weekend with an old flame in Dresden a while back, squeezing in Die Zauberflöte at the Semperoper while we were about it, but am not entirely convinced it's an improvement on ?
