Proposed deletion of The righteous perishes

Hello, Francis Schonken. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, The righteous perishes, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheLongTone (talk) 15:11, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

DYK for Jesus Christus nostra salus

On 2 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jesus Christus nostra salus, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Luther thought the communion hymn "Jesus Christus nostra salus" by Jan of Jenštejn (pictured), archbishop of Prague, was actually by martyr Jan Hus? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jesus Christus nostra salus. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

DYK for Tristis est anima mea (attributed to Kuhnau)

On 2 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tristis est anima mea (attributed to Kuhnau), which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in a motet for Maundy Thursday, Tristis est anima mea, Jesus says in Gethsemane (pictured) "Sad is my soul even unto death"? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

DYK for Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der von uns den Gotteszorn wandt

On 2 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der von uns den Gotteszorn wandt, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that "Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der von uns den Gotteszorn wandt", Luther's hymn for the Eucharist based on a Latin model, includes thoughts from his sermons during Lent of 1524? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der von uns den Gotteszorn wandt. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Disambiguation link notification for April 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tenebrae, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Miserere and Our Father (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hillary Rodham Clinton - Move Discussion

Hi,

This is a notification to let you know that there is a requested move discussion ongoing at Talk:Hillary_Rodham_Clinton/April_2015_move_request#Requested_move. You are receiving this notification because you have previously participated in some capacity in naming discussions related to the article in question.

Thanks. And have a nice day. NickCT (talk) 18:36, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

John Collier (reformer) changed to John Collier (sociologist)

Hello, Francis Schonken! I guess you read my comment on John Collier's talk page about John Collier (reformer)? I'm happy someone else wants to think about this. After more thought, I think your edit is good! FYI, I also tried to ask for guidance on this page Sharp-shinned.hawk (talk) 20:37, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Persondata removal, data preservation

Hi, Francis. I saw your comment on the persondata-bot-removal discussion page. The removal of the persondata templates is going to happen, whether it happens today, tomorrow or next month. My only concern at this point is that as much of the accurate persondata information be preserved and transferred to the Wikidata profiles as possible. I have taken the liberty to notify a number of the WikiProjects with which I have an association regarding the pending persondata removal, and urging concerned editors to manually transfer accurate persondata to Wikidata. I would be grateful if you would do the same. Here's an example of a notice I left earlier today: . Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:05, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

CFD closure

Can you get me a list of what needs and doesn't need to be done? When the nominator says "(i.e. for all genetic language groups)" but doesn't bother to post a single notice anywhere nor inform anyone, it's a puzzle as to what was actually intended. I'm leaning towards reversing the whole mess and re-listing it. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:05, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Scientology arbitration amendment request archived

The Scientology arbitration amendment request, which you were listed as a party to, has been archived to Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for arbitration/Scientology. Thank you. For the Arbitration Committee, L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 20:01, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of String Trio, D 581 (Schubert)

Hello Francis Schonken,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged String Trio, D 581 (Schubert) for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Whalestate (talk) 22:32, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Adding a new option

Hello! Sorry to bother you, I have a quick question if you don't mind:
I noticed you added another option to Misplaced Pages:Village pump (policy)/Archive 121#MOS:IDENTITY clarification. I was considering doing this to another discussion. I was wondering if there was a guideline or anything special I needed to do or be aware of concerning this practice.—Godsy_CONT) 03:43, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

RfC: red links in navboxes

Francis, would you accept a revised red link guideline that requires a minimum of three blue links in a navbox to existing stand-alone articles or lists, with at least 50% of all included links within the navbox being blue, coupled with a very explicit clarification of the existing "succession" and "complete set" exceptions for navboxes? Personally, I think that would be an extremely reasonable compromise. If I can get 10 committed supporters, I'm ready to start lobbying previous !voters (not a violation of WP:CANVASS) in favor of compromise. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:01, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Revisions on "Emperor" page

Would you mind explaining your reasoning against my revision on the page more clearly? What exactly are you asking me to explain? BlackRanger88 (talk) 10:21, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement

The only "involved" parties in Handpolk's petition to reduce his topic ban are Handpolk and Euryalus, the admin who imposed the topic ban. Everyone else commenting is just offering their opinion on whether this action should be taken, that is, they are uninvolved in the administration of the topic ban.
The case wasn't properly formatted when it was initially posted and I'm sure leaving these extra sections in was an oversight. Liz 19:52, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi

Just thought I would introduce myself. I am impressed that you, in Belgium, know more about Piper than me; I (in New York) never heard of him until his "death". Interesting. Yours, Quis separabit? 22:20, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

---I asked for the George Terry writings to deleted a long time ago Even though it was true I have no intent to bash him on Misplaced Pages I will do it in my book It is just the truth! I have been trying to establish content related to me only Any help to make that George Terry stuff and throw it away would be great They bring it up every time It is getting old. I really want a good profile of my life and work I don't understand how the links work What is acceptable and what isn't. Thanks for responding. I have been to the Tea House Party Room e anyone y oh have I feel like a ping ball being hit around.

Radical Faeries?

BLPN close

Hi Francis,

Can you take another look at your BLPN close here? I think if you look closely you'll find that the discussion at RSN is actually about a different source and different content (it's about a specific source, used in a different paragraph of the article) than the discussion at BLPN (which is specifically about whether the ADL's opinion of the article subject is notable). The two conversations are (as far as I'm aware), unrelated. We were all rather hoping that the close at BLPN would assess the consensus on the ADL point (if there is one). Thanks! Fyddlestix (talk) 15:56, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

I see you've updated the close, thanks very much! Fyddlestix (talk) 17:11, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

I think I lost interest, seems a lot of work for an uncertain and probably not more than marginal improvement. --Francis Schonken (talk) 17:32, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Blanket reverts

I'm making an honest effort to avoid conflicts with you (and we have a long history of them). Your firehose-like use of reversion of all changes made in an edit or series of edits, instead of reversing the one particular thing you're objecting to, has a lot to do with why these conflicts arise, and we've been over this many times before (for several years now). Please change your approach to this. It's annoying to other editors, and comes across as combative. It is clearly counterproductive to revert basic typo fixing and other copyedits in the course of getting at a specific unrelated issue, as in this case. You eliminated the addition of a syntactically required comma while reversing an unrelated wording change, which you could have undone simply by editing the page and changing the words back without eliminating the comma.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ≼  16:08, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

PS: On a re-read, this comes across as more "fist-shaking" than I intended, even after editing it not sound fist-shaking. My point is to try to open a compromise dialogue about approach, not to berate you.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ≼  20:58, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Re: Online music community

Should this article be tagged somehow to inform readers of its relation to the Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Music community discussion?

deletion of my entry

Perhaps others can provide better documentation. My problem now is that my name appears with an immediate link to your deletion discussion which is so damaging as to do me serious harm. Judgments made are unquestionably subjective...as in ooments about my past Suffolk County and present Volusia County service as laureate, or my single fulbright (when I have 3 which were each unique). Please do not link me to these damaging, disrepectful remarks. If you are deleting me, do so completely. i assume when someone creates a new entry...if that happens...you will allow it to be judged on whatever new information is provided. This should not be an argument. i respect the service you provide. Axelrodthepoet (talk) 09:38, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Whatever comes on your talk page, you can delete it. I've reverted my edit to your talk page, only saying you could have done so yourself while its your talk page, no hard feelings either way I hope. --Francis Schonken (talk) 09:44, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Because I said I would do this

		The Newyorkbrad Dispute Resolution Barnstar
		Thank you for having taken the time and, honestly, serious effort to go through the recent ANI discussion and having come to a reasonable conclusion. As someone who took part in that discussion, and I know I did not at all reveal my best side there, assuming I have one of course, I know that there were any number of points when one could, reasonably, have just thrown up one's hands in exasperation. There are a lot of discussions at ANI like that, and, sometimes, they aren't really "closed" and the matters allowed to fester, which can sometimes make existing disputes worse than they otherwise would have been. Thankless efforts like yours here, where an individual is forced to spend a good deal of time doing something time consuming and sometimes extremely unpleasant, but which seems to be required for the better good of the project, are one of the things we need a lot of, and thank you for having been willing to give up a good deal of your time on this. I know you could easily think of a 100 more pleasant and more interesting things to have spent that time on. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 16:07, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

• Not sure I completely agree with the close, but that isn't necessary as I still respect it. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:51, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
• I'll somewhat echo Dennis, but mostly per John Carter in that your close is a reasonable compromise and is eminently sensible. My thinking tends to lead towards more draconian measures (which is why I wouldn't make a good admin). Many thanks Blackmane (talk) 02:53, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm not seeing any explanation to justify unarchiving

I see no good reason why that should waste space on the BOTREQ page. It is closed and should remain archived. The link you pointed me too doesn't explain anything.—_Chat:Offline 04:24, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

I have restored this article to the last stable version. I have no idea why User:Hollenderek put back the pre-AfD version. You were right to revert that. But to wipe out most of the content without talk page discussion, then flag what was left as DICDEF, was incorrect. If you feel that the article should be deleted, you may nominate it for AfD.

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. No other pages link to this page.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Musa Talk  11:46, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Missa Inventionis S. Crucis

Thoughts after singing (parts of) it, composed by Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer:

• What would be a good translation of the title to English.
• The Kyrie (and Agnus Dei) has a motif all over the place which I have heard named Kreuzmotiv in German. What would that be in English?
• It's a motif of four notes which, if you connect 1 to 4 and 2 to 3, you get two lines which cross, first example in that mass (more or less in today's D minor): B-flat - E - A - D, second: D - G-sharp - C - F-sharp (note two cross incidentals and tritone intervals).
• The same thing occurs in works by Bach, such as Et incarnatus ist (pictured).
• Is it a standard Baroque feature, used by other composers?
• Are you tempted to write an article on it? (as we have B-A-C-H motif)

Thank you for the Spitta Bach bio! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:12, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Compare Symphony No. 6 (Tchaikovsky)#Dedication and suggested programs, Cruciform#Cruciform melody and Cross motif (that last one would be the translation of "Kreuzmotiv").

Afaik Inventio S. Crucis refers to the Invention of the True Cross, a.k.a. Finding of the Holy Cross, a Christian feast from Byzantian times. --Francis Schonken (talk) 13:27, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

I have again restored the article to a stable version. Please desist from wiping out all the content without discussion on the talk page.
