Jaguar's GA tags
editGreetings, can you do me a favor and use AWB to plough through User:Jaguar's GA review list on his user page and fix the tags on the talk pages like this, they should read topic= rather than subtopic= . Comprende?♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:46, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

- Help me understand: Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions, tells me the parameter name is subtopic, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:01, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, it is when nominating, but not when actually listing a GA. It's definitely topic=, as you can see by the fact that Jaguar's tags now work and show the "genre". Confusing to people.♦ Dr. Blofeld 05:22, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for that, Ser Amantio di Nicolao! Whenever a GAN is initiated it begins with "subtopic" but I'll be sure to change it to "topic" from now on, and add the pages correctly. JAGUAR 21:34, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

DYK for Per Holknekt
editOn 3 July 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Per Holknekt, which you recently created or substantially expanded.

A Request
editHi, I was wondering if you could confirm me because I want access to the extra features on Wikipedia. I just started and I believe that I have enough edits over my first day that will show that I am not a vandal and that I am here in good faith. I already looked at the dorm for making these requests and it said most looking to get expedited from the 4 day wait are denied so I decided to come directly to an administrator. I would really appreciate it if you would confirm me and it would be an honor for you to be the one. Thank You TheEditorOfAllThingsWikipedia (talk) 20:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
- I just received an alert saying that you patrolled me. Does that just mean that you are keeping an eye on my user page? I couldnt seem to find any infornmation about what that meant as far as an administrator doing it to a user. Is this just because I made the request above and you are reviewing my profile or is it something bad? Thanks TheEditorOfAllThingsWikipedia (talk) 21:38, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

A note on categorization
editHello! I notice you've been adding categories to a number of articles. I believe some may benefit from more careful consideration. With regards to WP:CATDEF and WP:OVERCAT, articles should be categorized as much as possible by defining traits, rather than any trait. Specifically, but to illustrate a broader point, you've added a number of Writer categories to a scientist: William H. Behle (e.g Category:American science writers and Category:21st-century American writers). I think these are superfluous, and somewhat tangential: virtually all scientists write (i.e. publish papers and/or books), therefore categorizing them as writers, which indirectly lumps scientists with playwrights, novelists, etc. is somewhat unhelpful. While some people are commonly and reliably known as writers and science writers (e.g. Carl Zimmer), and some scientists are also known for their popular writing (e.g. Stephen Jay Gould, William Beebe) not every scientist who writes should be categorized as a writer. While some may argue that there is little or no harm in over-categorizing, I believe too many extraneous categories can distort public perception of how a subject is actually known. I think even if a subject technically falls into a category (any scientist who includes an illustration in a paper is technically an illustrator, and an author who published a single work and died in 2001, but did the majority of their work in the twentieth century, might merit inclusion in 21st-century writers), they should only be categorized as such if they are commonly and reliably described as such. A good rule of thumb, per WP:NONDEF, is (with few exceptions): if the characteristic would not be appropriate to mention in the lead portion of an article, it is probably not defining. Another way to think is, would you be likely to find the subject in a book titled with the category name? In conclusion, while I appreciate your efforts to improve Wikipedia, I urge due consideration be applied to categorization. All the best, --Animalparty! (talk) 20:40, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Category:German male novelist
editHi, in a number of articles you changed the "category:Male novelist" to "German male novelist". As I understand it, this category is a subcategory of "Male novelists by nationality", that is, it refers to the nationality of the person in question, not to the language they wrote in. If this is correct, the categorisation for Robert Musil and Joseph Roth is wrong - they were both Austrian (or Austro-Hungarian), while Charles Sealsfield was an Austro-Hungarian as well as a US citizen.

Poets
editHi Ser, can I ask you what list you are using to add the category "20th-century poets" to articles? I ask because you've added it twice in two months to Ian Charleson, even though Charleson was not a poet or author and had no published poems at all (in fact the only poem he's ever been recorded to have written is a single one in his diary).

Classical composer, male or not
editGood man, you have done huge amounts of re-categorisations with classical composers recently. Yet, I very much wonder what your logic is. Please explain. First you have changed a lot of categories from, say, "German classical composers" to "German male classical composers", and now you are changing them back, deleting the "male" again. Why? You did so yesterday with American ones. Are you suggesting that there are German and French male classical composers, but no American? Shall Americans remain genderless? I had to do a lot of cleaning up behind you when, for instance, for an Austro-German composer like Simon Molitor you changed the "Austrian" to "Austrian male", but the German not. Then, for a number of American composers on my watchlist (like William Foden, Patrick Gilmore, Swan Hennessy, Victor Herbert, or Jane O'Leary), I inserted the "male", to follow your work. But then you switched them back to non-male. WHY?
By the way, when you change categories, please make sure your new categories fit in alphabatically with the other categories. I had to do A LOT of cleaning up behind you for this, too, at least a hundred or so in the past few days. Thank you for your consideration. – Aklein62 (talk) 07:14, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Regarding "Middle Ages" in the Philippines
editHi. I just noticed that you participated in many of the name moves of early Philippine history articles. I must express concern about this. First of all because "Middle Ages" is not a term widely used with reference to Philippine history, and second because the term is associated with western history, which gives the impression that the direction of Philippine history at the time belonged to the same set of historical trends. This severely obscures many of the nuances of early Philippine history. May I invite you to discuss this at Wikipedia_talk:Tambayan_Philippines#Massive_move_of_article_names:_History_of_the_Philippines_.2F_.22Middle_Ages.22 ? thanks. - Alternativity (talk) 00:39, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Tennis players are not American
editI'm confused by your recent additions of "American Sportswomen" to tennis players who never represented the USA. Some, like Tamarine Tanasugarn, don't even live in the USA. Some were born here and left, some simply maintain a residence for tax purposes but are not citizens and play for other countries. Those are not American sportswomen as far as I can tell. Fyunck(click) (talk) 17:58, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
- Oh my goodness, it looks like you did hundreds of these edits to tennis players. Please remove ALL the tennis players from the AWB list and fix your recent additions. I sure hope the other project's sports players aren't as badly messed up as the tennis players are. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:27, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
- Well, they are. A lot of mountaineers, explorers, geologists, cartographers, adventurers, suddenly are now "sportswomen" thanks to this machine-mass-editing. And when I talk about it on the Humanities page, they say "the problem is fixed" and they order that I should not talk about it there. Akseli9 (talk) 07:32, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Automated wrong mass-editing of "sportswomen" not fixed
editYou said the problem is fixed, you even forbid to talk about it anymore on the Humanities page where I started to point it, well, no, you did not fix yet what you've done, that is, wrongly categorizing as "sportswomen" some women who are not sportswomen. "Fixing the problem" would have been to revert all your wrong edits. I can do only the ones that are in my watchlist, but even that would be wrong too, because it's not fair that I'd have to waste my time in reverting what you did wrong. Also: I don't know about all the articles that I don't watch in my watchlist. How many more articles are similarly wrongly categorized by your "fixed problem"? Did you do the same "fixed problem" to other articles too, like sportsmen too, and to how many nationalities did you do it? All of them? Akseli9 (talk) 07:24, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
- I reverted some of your wrong edits, and I left some others, waiting for your fixing "within a couple of hours". Now and after our talk on my [talkpage], I see that you are not going to fix them. It means to me that you can create mistakes and leave them to the other contributors to hopefully fix them. Akseli9 (talk) 10:02, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Beverly Wolff
editHello... I saw that you had made an edit to the Wikipedia article on Beverly Wolff. I was one of her students, graduating in 1998 from Florida Southern College. She continued to teach me privately years beyond graduation, supporting me in starting my budding singing and directing career.
I'd like to talk with others who knew Beverly over the years. As we share the stories of our experiences with one another, we may be able to further expand the article.
I've reached out to her son. Hopefully, he and I will meet sometime, and I'll learn even more.
I'm curious to learn about the recent edits made.

David Helpling bio
editI'm going to start from the beginning. David Helpling is an award winning ambient musician of some repute. He posted a notice on Facebook that his Wikipedia page needed "some love"; e.i. an update. I had done a bit of editing, a correction here, a contribution there. So I said I would do it. Sometimes I wish I hadn't! Not only had his page not been touched since 2011 the writing was insufficient, out dated and largely poorly written.the Alert box at the top of the page states:
The page is labeled an orphan, it is not an orphan. Other pages now link to it.
The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline (dated Oct 2011);
The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
David Helpling is listed on YouTube, iTunes, Pandora, IMDB, Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, allmusic, My Space, he has his own production company DHM... Since the material I found on my own probably would not fit Wikipedia's guidelines I contacted Mr. Helpling and he provided some links of interviews I would not have found on my own. Now it seems anything I do to his page brings up a new alert/issue/problem. I've provided references that were not there previously, some of these trigger spam alerts; I, as a major contributor am accused of being too close to the primary source and ...appears to have a close connection with its subject, etc, etc. Mr Helpling contributed himself which was deleted by an administrator, (I think I understand why). Mr Helpling told me he will no longer contribute to Wikipedia because it "...gives me a headache". I think I understand why he feels this way.
So...what I am requesting is that the alerts at the top of this bio be removed because they are either false or outdated. Any other issue regarding Wikipedia guidelines I wish to have resolved. This guy has a well respected track record going back 1996 and deserves to have a decent bio on Wikipedia. I don't mind other parties contributing; this is what Wikipedia is about. However I'm getting weary of the issues invoved in trying to do it for him.

Any luck with this?♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:22, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
What I meant was to add the link at the bottom of all film articles on a given list. E.g for American films of 1946 go through the A-Z list and add See also List of American films of 1946 at the bottom of articles like Gilda etc. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:13, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Icelandic women writers
editThanks for your categorising of Arndís Þórarinsdóttir. I appreciate it.
I see you've added Arndís to Icelandic women writers, which is fine, but you've removed her from Category:Icelandic writers. This is falling into a trend whereby male Icelandic writers are being categorised as 'Icelandic writers', but female Icelandic writers are being categorised as 'women Icelandic writers'. This is obviously gender-biased and has the effect of marginalising women. Might I suggest that we allow Arndís to be both in 'Icelandic women writers' and in 'Icelandic writers'? (It would be good to implement this for the other 39 women writers and the 1 male writer who have been categorised in this wy too.)
Thanks!

File talk
editYou recently created several file talk pages using AWB for images of album covers, including File talk:Onyx.jpg, File talk:Overkill.jpg and File talk:Nu002.jpg. I presume you were working from a preparsed list because those images had been renamed in the interim to unshadow images on Commons of a gemstone, a concert and a nude woman respectively. These talk pages were therefore incorrectly tagged. Please try to avoid this in the future. Thanks, BethNaught (talk) 06:58, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

I need guidance
editI just got AWB. I've read the instructions, and I'm not too stupid, I don't think. I got it downloaded, and I can open it and login. I can get it as far as making a list, and checking the options. But when I do start, it doesn't do what I want. It goes through the motions with the little bar at the bottom looking like it's checking, but nothing then happens. I can't figure this out. All I want to do, at least to start, is check for ISBN format on a couple of select articles. — Maile (talk) 22:29, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
Categories for Women architects
editHi Ser Amantio. As I know you are not only an expert on categories but have also supported our interest in biographies on women, I wondered whether you could help me to sort the various categories under Category:Women architects. I have been trying to add categories for the various countries (e.g. Category:Argentine women architects) but I see that although the new categories are sorted correctly, the older categories (e.g. Category:American women architects) appear unsorted at the top of the category display. I would have thought the Americans, Australians, Brits, Finns, French, German and Greeks should be sorted together with the others. How can I achieve this?--Ipigott (talk) 18:29, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
I've just seen that the category for American women architects was written "Category:American architects|*". Should all the others be written the same way? I see for Women writers, they are all under Category:Women writers by nationality and are sorted in alphabetical order. Maybe I should do the same for the architects?--Ipigott (talk) 18:42, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
I think I've more or less sorted it out by adding cat Women architects by nationality. Now it looks more or less OK.--Ipigott (talk) 19:10, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

AWB tagging
editPlease review You have tagged some single covers as being a part of WP:ALBUM, e.g. File talk:Jens Lekman - Friday Night at the Drive-In Bingo.jpg.

More AWB problems
editRecently the templates Template talk:Turkmenistan squad 2012 AFC Challenge Cup, Template talk:Turkmenistan squad 2010 AFC Challenge Cup, Template talk:Maldives squad 2012 AFC Challenge Cup, Template talk:Nepal squad 2012 AFC Challenge Cup were deleted at TfD. You then recreated the talk pages using AWB. This inappropriate creation of File talk: and Template talk: pages has been a problem before and there is probably a lot of mess you've made that I haven't seen to clear up.

Demetri Martin - Ref. No.5
editGood day. Forgive me if you're not the person I should be going to for this. I was browsing Demetri Martin's page and attempted to follow an external link to a palindromic poem of his, but the target URL seems to have changed. I attempted to change/update it myself, but it got confusing real quick and thus didn't do anything. If you do happen to find time in your day to possibly update the info, it would appreciated. The new URL is: [10] - Demetri Martin's Fractal Poem. And if possible, try to keep the existing words as what you see in the references. It's reference number 5, by the way.

Women architects
editI see, Ser Amantio, that once again you have been helping us out with categories in this connection. While this is useful and I realize your are primarily a notario, your valuable contributions to Women in Leadership indicate that you might be able to embark on some new articles in connection with Women in architecture. I'm sure you can find one or two interesting names on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Red/Women in architecture. We've still a day or two to go on the current editathon so just have a go! (I very much appreciate your choice of user name. I once played the part of "Herr Bau-, Berg- und Weg-Inspectors-Substitut Sperling" in the wonderful German comedy Die Deutschen Kleinstädter.

Using a bot under your name and illegally
edit@Redrose64, Drmies, and Magioladitis:.
- At 07:36, October 28 (UTC), you made ~70 Cat-a-lot edits in one minute. I'm not familiar with the tool, but I cannot see how a page can load, you press a button and the page saved in under one second.
- At 07:46, October 27 (UTC), you made 36 AWB edits in one minute.
- At 07:40, October 27 (UTC), you made 57 AWB edits in one minute. A bot running AWB can't go that fast. I average ~22 edits per minute with my AWB bot around the same time of day. If I'm manually doing something real "trivial" with AWB, I can get upto ~12 edits per minute. Heck, the "infamous" OccultZone could manually only do upto 25 edits a minute.
I see alot of complaints from above about your AWB and Cat-a-lot edits. I see people saying for you to slow down. I see people complaining about your mistakes. I don't see you responding to any talk messages as you have only responded to two messages in four months.
You are violating WP:AWB#Rules of use, rule #1, as Redrose64 mentioned above. You are not listed at CheckPage#Bots, thus you are running a bot illegally. To run a bot illegally means you have modified AWB's software.
I have turned off people's permission to run AWB and have taken people to ANI to have it turned off. However, I was more familiar with them and had personally given them each warnings before terminating AWB access. I know people have hacked AWB before to allow them to run in bot mode and/or without permission, but I don't recall the specifics. So, I'm asking input from the people I pinged and also would like to hear from you. Bgwhite (talk) 07:17, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- I don't run a bot - I can assure you that all of the edits that I make are human-controlled. How Cat-a-Lot works I cannot speak to, exactly; I admit that it is a powerful tool, and one whose functions I am still learning. For the rest, it is indeed possible, if one is quick on the button and has a fast internet connection, to make large numbers of edits per minute.
- I also do not respond on my talk page to queries, but I do respond. Looking over discussions from the past month I see four or five related to various aspects of my automated editing, and I responded at the time to each one.
- I will slow down, if that is a problem - I have tried to address problems as they are raised and modify my editing accordingly, but if it is required of me to slow down I will do so. But I give you my word that I have never hacked, nor will I ever hack, AWB. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 11:52, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- No, it is NOT possible to do 50 or even 20 AWB edits a minute. One is NOT to be quick on the button. I am a AWB user with a fast internet connection and I know that it is not possible. There are only two ways to go this fast: 1) bots 2) multiple AWB windows open and just pressing save as fast as one can. Both are against AWB rules. We all make mistakes. For some reason, people think if you are using AWB, you shouldn't make any mistakes and they get upset. Nevermind I'm usually cleaning up after people making mistakes via manual edits. The odds of a mistake are much higher if one is running fast. I'm asking you to follow the rules. If you want to run as a bot, then sign up and get a bot account.
- There only two talk messages in the past four months that you have responded to here. You may have responded elsewhere. Majority of users, like me, like to keep the discussion in one spot. This is why I copied your message here. Bgwhite (talk) 21:34, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

- I will slow myself down, but I assure you I have not been intending to run as a bot.

You never got back to me about how you supposedly fixed it, and the tone of your replies makes me feel somewhat taken for granted in mopping up your mistakes. The way you have been creating these pages, ie ridiculous quantities in one minutes, proves you were not checking manually immediately before each edit, which would have eradicated the problem at a stroke. But no, that's too slow for you, it appears. BethNaught (talk) 21:55, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- I'm sorry if my response to you gave you the impression that I am cavalier in my thoughts; I assure you that is not the case. To be perfectly frank, I had meant to run some tests with AWB before responding to you further - I want to be certain of a couple of its functions before addressing your concerns. (I can't say that I recall ever being informed by AWB that a page being recreated is one which had already been deleted, but I freely admit that I may have missed something, and wish to double-check before going further.) Unfortunately, circumstances intervened and by the time I could return to it, I had actually forgotten all about our discussion - my apologies. I have rather a lot on my mind at the moment.--Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 23:11, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- My concern is that you do massive amount of recategorization without any discussion or collaboration with others, say, at CFD. There is no oversight with categories. Once a category is removed, it is difficult to find out what articles were placed in a category unless you know the editor and go through all of their contributions. It's not like article edits where editors have pages on their Watchlists and can correct errors. It is extremely easy to get it in your head that "X" is the right way to categorize a subject and make many changes very fast without anyone even being aware what you are doing. This is not just you, there have been instances in the past where editors have had topic bans from creating categories or adding/removing categories to pages. With HotCat, edits are fast and easy and it's a powerful tool. If mistakes are made, it can be very time-consuming for other editors to go back and figure out what happened. This is less about you, Ser, than about how much HotCat increases the potential to make colossal errors. Liz Read! Talk! 22:25, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry - HotCat or Cat-a-Lot? I agree, the latter is a powerful tool. I try to use it judiciously - I feel that I have been doing better as I have come to understand its properties better - but always welcome a little flea in my ear should concerns be raised. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 23:11, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

- Bgwhite, I have no dog in this fight, though I whined like one earlier. I don't use HotCat (in fact, you'll find that I've used ColdCat, it's living dead opposite) and I don't know much about bots. Ser, I think you have a tendency to listen to people; that's a good habit. All the best to you all, Drmies (talk) 14:35, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- Cat-a-lot works differently from HotCat. It is possible to do 200 edits with Cat-a-lot after checking individual entries in a few seconds because it takes one click to perform all edits. That's the maximum number of pages listed per page in a category and the time has to be spent before clicking that edit button once. I've used it a lot on Commons, it can take a long time to check the individual entries to see if they should be selected for the move/copy, but once you've done that and selected the individual entries then the time taken to perform all edits is just a few seconds. I also keep multiple tabs open at the same time and do the selections on different tabs and click edit in one go as that would prevent me from missing other changes to my watchlist. Just an FYI for Bgwhite, since I saw this thread pop up on my watchlist. —SpacemanSpiff 14:55, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- Exactly. Cat-a-Lot requires work, which I put in before hitting the button - you don't see that, only the final result. I do use it sometimes to transfer articles between categories, only if I'm absolutely certain that all articles in one category belong in another. But that's it. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:50, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thank You SpacemanSpiff for the explanation on Cat-a-lot. It helps out alot. Looking at Ser's history more, you did 164,000 edits in October. You were doing close to 1,000 edits an hour multiple times and on the 26th, you did ~1,400 edits with AWB in one hour. This is impossible to be doing manually. If you want to do these types of fixes, get a bot account and run a bot legally... plus it has the added bonus of another talk pages for people to complain on :) You said you would slow down and you have. It looks like those high spurts with Cat-a-lot are ok, just keep an eye out for the AWB edits. Bgwhite (talk) 06:30, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Aggházy
editHallo Ser Amantio di Nicolao
You can find an absolute correct description of Aggházy in the publication of [1]
About Aggházy: Well-known in his day as a performer, composer and teacher, Károly Aggházy left a legacy of piano music combining elements of romanticism, nationalism, and occasional dissonance which characterized that period of transition in Hungarian music from Liszt to Bartók. Though relatively conservative in style, Aggházy was master of the short form, and within this genre he wrote some minor masterpieces that warrant scrutiny today. Aggházy was born in Pest, Hungary, on 30 October 1855. He began his piano studies at the age of eight with István Bartalus. At twelve Aggházy enrolled as a student at the National Music School, where his father served on the board of directors. There he studied piano and composition with Antal Zapf and Victor Feigler for three years, graduating in 1870. The Director of the National Music School, Gábor Mátray, a renowned musicologist, wrote in Aggházy's report book: "He was such a diligent student ... at composing ... he did not miss a single lesson and his outstanding musical talent is honored by an 'excellent' grade at the end of the 1869-1870 academic year."1 Aggházy's first public appearence as a pianist was given at the National Conservatory on 13 March 1870, when he played Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12. During the Summer of that year, Aggházy met Liszt for the first time, visiting him in the Augusz residence at Szekszárd. Liszt was highly impressed by Aggházy's talent as a composer and pianist, but another five years were to elapse before Liszt engaged him as a student. Aggházy studied at the Conservatory of Music in Vienna with Dachs and Bruckner from 1870-1872, showing some of the compositions he had written during that time to Franz Erkel, who recognized signs of "a genuine musical talent, which, provided it's carefully nurtured, promises a bright future" (Bonis). Upon recommendations from Erkel and Liszt, Aggházy received state scholarships to continue his sudies in 1873 and 1874. Liszt accepted Aggházy as a piano student after hearing him play on 18 February 1875. Aggházy recorded this exciting moment in his diary: "At two in the afternoon I met Liszt. The old man received me with great fondness. Now I am his student!" (Bonis), For the next three years, Aggházy attended the Hungarian Roya! Academy of Music in Budapest, studying piano with Liszt and composition with Robert Volkmann and Kornél Ábrányi. As a student at the Academy of Music, Aggházy received the Liszt Scholarship three times. (This scholarship was established in 1873 by the city of Budapest to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Liszt's musical career. It stipulated that during his lifetime, Liszt would choose the most deserving pupil from those attending the Academy to receive a prize of six hundred forints, which was equivalent then to the yearly salary of a secondary school teacher). Aggházy received the prize in 1876, 1877, and 1882, and he was considered to be one of the best Hungarian students of Liszt, along with Aladár Juhász (1856-1922), István Thomán (1862-1940), and Ilonka Ravasz (1857-1922). Upon completing his studies at the Academy, Aggházy went to Paris on another scholarship, which he received again through Liszt's recommendation. He collaborated with the violinist Jenő Huber (who later changed his name to Hubay) in a series of concerts, playing their debut, on the recommendation of Vieuxtemps, in the Salle Érard on 28 January 1879. During the next two years, they toured thirty-five Hungarian cities as well as England, Belgium, Luxemburg and Algeria. After two and a half years of concertizing and travel, Aggházy returned to Hungary on 8 July 1881, settling in Budapest, where he taught piano at the National Conservatory beginning 27 September 1881. One of the main reasons for his return to Budapest and a teaching career was his love for Alice Farkas, whom he married in November of the same year. In 1883 Aggházy left Budapest to become Head of the Piano Department at Stern's Conservatory in Berlin, a position for which Liszt had recommended him. He remained in Berlin, teaching at the Stern and Kullak Conservatories until the Stern Conservatory closed upon its founder's death in 1889; during the years spent there, his teaching and compositions became well known throughout Germany. Many of his finest piano works were published by German publishing houses, such as Kahnt in Leipzig and Bote & Bock in Berlin. Several excellent musicians were trained at Stern's Conservatory under Aggházy, including Johannes Döbber (1866-1921), a well-known German composer and conductor. During the 1880s a resurgence of nationalism in Hungary prompted an attempt to repatriate all prominent and talented Hungarian artists. Aggházy's friend and chief proponent, Zsigmond Justh, wrote laudatory articles in the newspapers, advocating Aggházy's appointment to a professorship at the Academy of Music. Unfortunately the position at the Academy, originally proposed to entice Aggházy back to Hungary, did not materialize, and he returned once again to teach at the National Conservatory. Later a position at the Academy was offered for a second time, but he took offense and turned it down, perhaps out of pride, choosing to continue at the National Conservatory, where he taught for the remainder of his life. In 1891 Béla Bartók's mother brought her son, aged ten, to Aggházy, who was greatly impressed with the boy's pianistic skills. As one of the most highly respected teachers in Budapest during the 1890s, Aggházy was perhaps the first to assess and recognize the young Bartók's genius as a musician. During the same decade, he sustained a growing interest in opera, serving as a rehearsal pianist for the Royal Opera House during the 1891-1892 season in order to better famliarize himself with the stage. Aggházy's first opera, Maritta a Korkós Madonna (Maritta, the Girl with the Pitcher), set in Spain, was performed in Budapest on 14 October 1897. Parts of Maritta were well received, but much of the work was considered weak due to the poor libretto by Fuhrmann and the quasi-Wagnerian harmonies used throughout, which didn't appeal to Hungarian audiences of his day. Aggházy's second opera, Ra\'ennai Nász (Wedding in Ravenna) was never performed. The early twentieth-century compositions of Aggházy consist of many nationalistic pieces, inspired by the return to Hungary of the mortal remains of the eighteenth-century freedom fighter Ferenc Rákóczi (or Rákóczy). Pieces composed during this phase of Aggházy's creative life, what Ferenc Bonis called his "kuruc" period, include the Rákóczi Funeral March (Rákóczi Gyászinduló), Funeral Themes in Memory of Ferenc Rákóczi II (Gyászhangok II. Rákóczi Ferenc Fejedelem Emlékére), Hungarian Moods (Magyar Hangulatok), and the Rákóczi Symphony (Rákóczi Szimfomiukus Én ekkö Ite mény), Unlike his mentor Liszt, Aggházy was a traditionalist. Where Liszt was the proponent and champion of "music of the future," Aggházy chose a more conservative path, creating a credibility gap the early part of the present century. Personal problems, plus bis inability to comprehend such radical approaches to composition as serialism, neo-primitivism, and polytonality caused him much unhappiness during his waning years. He died in Budapest on 8 October 1918, perhaps the last representative of a century that saw romantic and nationalistic elements in Hungarian music come together in full fruition. Although over one hundred compositions for piano are attributed to Agghá2y, this figure is misleading, as most of his titled opus numbers consist of many shorter compositions ranging from three to twenty-four in number. In an autobiographical letter written to the Pallas Lexicon, dated 6 October 1909, Aggházy listed the pieces for soto piano and piano four-hands which he felt were his most significant keyboard works.3 By examining specific selections from this keyboard repertory, we can trace the development and describe the characteristics of his eclectic musical style. The solo-piano compositions (together with opus number and publishers), which he listed in order of publication, are listed below, and a title page from one set is reproduced on the opposite page: 1. Canon (Albumblatt)/Jaborsky 2. Serenata alia Chitarra/Weinholtz 3. Nocturne, Op. 6/Kahnt 4. Toquade, Op. 8/Sipese 5. Fantasiestücke, Op. ]0/Sipese 6. Ungarische Tanze, Op. 11 7.

Hello,
I have a question regarding William Arnold Newton. Do you have further Information about Mr.Newton? As of now I've only found little Info about him and his life except for the Wikipedia Page. Also it is known that in 2005 his case was reopened again, but it is unknown if there was Progress whatsoever. I hope you can help me. Do you also have a copy of the orbituary that is cited on the Wikipedia article?

Cheers. Yeah we passed it about lunch time here, it's certainly a major milestone and worth of celebration, even if most articles need work!

AAC Airport
editI have removed your “Accident and Incidents” entry of 7K-9268 as intending to divert to AAC. There is no evidence, at the moment, that the flight crew intended to divert to AAC. The Reuters article which you link makes no reference to a diversion attempt nor do we yet have any official transcript of ATC communications. You also indicated that the crash site was 35km from AAC. The crash site is located at N30.16 E34.17, 57nm (102km) from AAC.
At this point, we have only conflicting speculation that the crew may have attempted to divert; moreover, even if the crew was planning to divert, with several other suitable fields closer to the crash site (including VDA, MIP, TCP, HGER, H36, & AQJ) concluding that they were attempting to divert to AAC would also be speculative.Indelaware (talk) 23:49, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, this seems poorly developed. Can you split the existing ones, I think ones like New York City, LA and Chicago would likely have their own under United States. I suspect there's tons of defunct night club articles on here already which are not categorized, so if you can find some to populate it this would be great.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:35, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. Well, we both know that potentially we'd have dozens of articles on defunct nightclubs in all the major US cities making the sub categories very appropriate. We'll get there eventually I'm sure. I still think there'll be a lot of existing articles which should be categorized as defunct, but might need to be done manually going through the nightclub categories which I can't imagine you have time or the will to do haha!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:39, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

What makes an 'opera singer'?
editHi, You added categories as '19th century opera singer' and '20th century opera singer' for Harry Plunket Greene. Is this really appropriate? So far as I know (and I researched and wrote most of this article sometime in the dim and distant past, at first under my long-redundant previous username) he made an opera debut in one season only, in 1890, and then decided not to pursue a career in that direction but devoted himself entirely to the concert platform, oratorio, recital, lecturing, judging contests, teaching song, etc. I have never seen or read any other description of him taking an operatic role, and (notably) not during the 20th century at all. At any rate, I'd be inclined to leave him out of the 20th century category. Or is it a case of 'once you have done it you always are one'? And if so, what other walks of life might that apply to? For really, he is an example par excellence of the 'NOT-opera singer', which is one of the defining things about his career. Any thoughts? Merely a gentle inquiry, no wish to dispute, Kind regards, Eebahgum (talk) 00:29, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for reply. I see the dilemma! I suppose this turns on whether a category is part of a personal definition, or a search tool leading to a fact, hence the peculiarity in classification. I shall not alter what you have put. Good wishes, Eebahgum (talk) 00:42, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Here's an example of one of his most recent edits to an article: a) Older version; b) Nardisoero's version.
Please go through his humongous number of problematic edits. And try to stop him. I could revert just three of his edits today on the Srikanth Kidambi's article.

United States Foreign Service personnel
editI could not imagine there was no category for the United States Foreign Service personnel, but I don't find one. My file Gwendolyn Wilson Fowler shows it in red. Surely there are other people who were not diplomats, etc? You are the category expert, can you help? Gracias, mi amigo. I hope that your holiday season has been filled with cheer.

- Thanks. No rush, I don't know if it's just that I don't know how to search the categories (likely) or that there just isn't one (unfathomable) ;) SusunW (talk) 22:36, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello Ser Amantio di Nicolao, this is about the article about "Gert Ledig". I think you added a book called "Darling, translated 1957" and I am very interested in the source of that information. What is the original German title and when was it published originally? Thank you for your answer! Trupikow Trupikow (talk) 10:07, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
