Woodwose

Excellent! I couldn't find the Timothy Husband reference anywhere. That exhibition was my first inkling of woodwoses. --Wetman 16:55, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, glad to help. I always use the Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog (english) a cross-library search engine for literature research. -- Cherubino 21:06, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

M of Playing Cards

Hi, Thought I'd come over here as the section on my page is getting rather tangled. Actually I had not tried to e-mail you, as I was still trying to find M of PC images - which has been a complete failure i'm afraid - I just found the same ones you have. I know the BNF in Paris has the best collection after Dresden, but they don't seem to have anything on-line.

I've also been looking at Commons, since I clearly have to start getting more involved in images. What a nightmare! Half the prints by medium are in the wrong categories, there are completely separate sets of subcategories. My head gets sore.

Meanwhile I have identified (or been told, more accurately) a very good source of nice quality print images at [1] - an auction house. They don't leave them up for long after the auction - one or two months only.

Nothing as exotic as the M of PC, but lots of images that would be useful. If you're feeling like it I would like to see how well these look on Wiki (from 30/11 sale) Lots: 5026, 5067, 5178, 5173.

They have been used before - the lower pic on Hans Sebald Beham (english Wiki) is from there

Cheers Johnbod 21:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

btw, I have added St Sebastian to Old master print Johnbod 21:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, commons is a big hullabaloo... Doing my x-mas shoppings in Frankfurt i bought 25.000 MEISTERWERKE ISBN 3-86150-622-X (just 10 Euro) which has some 30 graphics of the M of PC. Maybe i get to Dresden at christmas, but i'm no good photographer at all, and museums will be overcrowded at that time. I'll have a look at these lots -- Cherubino 14:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

they would not let you photo them in Dresden - they would be in the print room, not on display - no cameras allowed.

DVD looks good, but I bet many photos of prints are scanned from old books. Thanks Johnbod 15:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The DVD is produced by Directmedia Publishing the company that already donated 10,000 paintings to commons, so i am a bit chary to use them all. If you enable "Enable e-mail from other users" via "My preferences -> User Profile" i can "E-mail this user" and send you a list of these 30 prints (your e-mail adress will not be known to me). So you could give me some advice, as I don't know which ones are important to art history. -- Cherubino 23:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the magnificent ones you sent. And my email is enabled on my user page.

And there is one more that would make New Year's Day complete, if it isnt there already, the Mainz Psalter. DGG 23:13, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jelqing

re: this request from a while ago, I just left you this reply:

The only remotely similar reference I could find in Pubmed was Richards BA. "Mechanical aids to sex." Br J Sex Med. 1975 Oct;2(5):33-5, 37. No abstract available. PMID: 830127 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]." This is probably it, but I don't have access to the journal. The term doesn't appear anywhere in PubMed, which is pretty suspicious.

cheers, phoebe/(talk) 01:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Oops, sorry, i don't check my en-site often. Thanks for your effort! The Br J Sex Med. is available at the German Central-Library for Medicine (de:Deutsche Zentralbibliothek für Medizin) in Cologne, about 150km away from my place, as the de:Zeitschriftendatenbank (en) says. This Library offered me a cost estimate for a research which i did not obtain as the whole jelqing-thing seemed to be a urban legend to me (Jelqing sounds much too similar to Jerking). 1975 also does not match with late 1970s. The german article is deleted, the english Penis_enlargement#Jelqing_and_clamping needs citation, and the spanish es:Jelqing says that there is no scientific evidence ("no hay ninguna evidencia científica"). There ist an article: Sex. What is "jelqing"? By: Woods, Stacey Grenrock, Esquire, 01949535, Jun2004, Vol. 141, Issue 6, via Academic Search Elite (EBSCOhost), which is not that reputable.

Hi, 1.600 pictures by Gottlieb entered the public domain this year [2], much more treasure to come :-) -- Cherubino (talk) 19:32, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, thank you for the link. I uploaded a few and placed them in articles, and I'll keep an eye on Flickr for more appropriate ones as they are released. I was lucky enough to met some of these musicians in the '80s, and I'm enjoying this immensely. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 23:21, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping! The artists of the golden age of jazz are the Mozarts and Beethovens of jazz. You're are very lucky. We have an own commons:Category:Photographs by William P. Gottlieb for his pictures and a special commons:Template:PD-Gottlieb. If you use commons:Template:LOC-music the template automatically sets the commons:Category:Music from the Library of Congress. Unfortunatly your picture File:GottliebFlipPhillips.jpg was already uploaded, so i nominated yours for deletion, because it wasn't in use yet. -- Cherubino (talk) 00:38, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
