Olá
Oi Martin, obrigado pelo teu contacto. Mas eu não sei se tenho jeito para dar bases de português a alguém. :| Mas tudo o que poder, ajudo! Se souberes qual a fonética standard do Brasil, põe lá, está mesmo a precisar. abraço. -Pedro 00:31, 3 May 2005 (UTC) As diferenças dialectais em portugal são maiores que no Brasil. Pelo menos parece. Mas não há nenhum sentimento de diferença em relação a isso. Há uma ideia de um "standard", que toda a gente busca falar para dar uma melhor imagem social de si. A forma como se fala é nas sociedades latinas europeias muito importante. O mesmo acontece na Espanha ou na França. A impressão que têm de ser quase nulo é devido a isso, mas na verdade é vasta (essencialmente pronuncia e léxico), mesmo em erros gramaticais, na minha zona diz-se (cada vez menos, devido à educação): "eu foi", e alguma confusão entre o "é" e o "são" (em casos que não me estou a lembrar agora) e até mesmo casos de colocação errada dos pronomes (algo do género que se faz no Brasil, outra matéria onde há confusão em relação ao standard em Portugal e ao do Brasil). Há uma tendência aqui no norte, nas pessoas com educação (ou até falta dela) de falarem diferentemente na rua e em casa. Na rua usa-se uma fala mais standardizada e em casa mais regionalizada. Esse é um aspecto engraçado, que até eu agia assim, sem saber. Não imaginas a quantidade de ditongos que há no norte, e a falta deles no sul!
 * José eu sei! valha-me deus. -Pedro 01:00, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Já teve um artigo desses e honestamente discordo. Pois vai estar cheio de erros, aspectos grosseiros e más interpretações. Há muitas coisas consideradas de dialectos do Brasil que há em dialectos de Portugal... esse tipo de artigos em que se busca procurar diferenças, não é saudável e tem uma visão tendenciosa. Além de que há uma tendencia entre os brasileiros de falar de dialectos populares, em Portugal só se fala do standard, e depois têm-se uma comparação horrível entre o standard de Portugal e os dialectos vernáculos do Brasil. Já agora, naquela parte dos sons o "a" para o rio de janeiro é aquele? Eu vi um trabalho conjunto da Universidade de Lisboa e do Rio e não pareceu aquela vogal, nem o tal i. Acho que há uma versão online disso. Agora encontrá-la... -Pedro 23:41, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Outra diferença que é normalmente colocada é que nós usamos só o tu. Isso é uma coisa muito bárbara de se dizer. A maioria dos brasileiros é que usa o você mas não se interessa pela conjugação. Ou seja, é um misto de tu e você.

Quanto às vogais em Portugal, é a mesma coisa, é a busca pelo falar melhor. Não acho que seja de forma alguma eslava, o \j\ é bem latino. E, as outras vogais tb.

Achava interessante era a criação de artigos sobre cada dialecto, seria bastante util!!! E, se calhar ajudaria as pessoas a perceber os dialectos de Portugal (e do Brasil, e de outros lados se possível), alguns deles bem antigos, o do norte é o melhor exemplo, já que é o mais antigo dialecto que existe, com o alto-minhoto/transmontano. Eu não tenho conhecimento é de falar de todos eles, sei o meu, alguma coisa sobre os outros e os dialectos referencia de Lisboa e Coimbra. Mas acho que está mesmo tudo a ficar mais standardizado, pelo menos aparentemente. Mas isso julgava eu até ir parar a Lisboa e toda a gente notar que eu era nortenho, e até eram antipaticos sem querer. Honestamente, acho que o sotaque do norte, é o mais perto do original latino, por isso... sempre que vêm com uma levam uma resposta adequada. -Pedro 00:41, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Partido dos Trabalhadores
Caríssimo colega Sanmartin, no momento não sei se terei tempo para analisar as alterações que fizestes na página do Partido dos Trabalhadores. Por isso, não me oporei às alterações, por enquanto,  e faço-me acreditar que as alterações que foram feitas por ti foram feitas com bastante responsabilidade e correção, ainda que, numa primeira análise superficial, não concorde com elas.

Eu humidelmente e com todo o respeito discordo das tuas colocações. Tu dissestes: O PT nunca se pôs como partido Comunista (se fosse um, se teria comunista no nome). Não é porque um partido não tem a palavra "comunismo" no nome, que ele não pode ser caracterizado como comunista. Gostaria de lembrar ainda que:
 * No final do século XVIII, quando se reuniram as forças políticas para fundar o partido revolucionário comunista, houve uma dúvida quanto ao nome do partido, entre: Partido Maximalista, Partido Comunista e Partido dos Trabalhadores. O nome "Partido dos Trabalhadores" era o preferido por Friedrich Engels, contudo, acabou por prevalecer o nome "Partido Comunista".
 * Até 1965, o Partido Comunista da Romênia chamava-se "Partido dos Trabalhadores da Romênia".
 * O governo da Coréia do Norte é considerado uma ditadura comunista e o nome do partido do governo é "Partido dos Trabalhadores". A bandeira do Partido dos Trabalhadores da Coréia do Norte é semelhante à bandeira do Partido dos Trabalhadores do Brasil, com a diferença de que enquanto neste no centro há uma estrela, naquele há uma foice, um martelo e uma ponta de lança. Tanto a foice e o martelo, quanto a estrela num fundo vermelho são símbolos amplamente usados pelos comunistas.

Discordo totalmente quando tu dizes que o partido "foi fundado sem asceticismo teórico" sendo "apenas um partido de esquerda". O PT e o Partido Comunista Cubano lideram o Foro de São Paulo, organização que reúne as principais forças comunistas do continente, algumas das quais ainda acreditam na luta armada revolucionária. Tu não podes negar as relações existentes entre o PT e o Partido Comunista Cubano ou o governo revolucionário do Presidente Hugo Chávez. Tanto Cuba, quanto Chávez, não se declaram sociais-democratas, nem podem ser definidos como meros partidos de esquerda.

A referência ao NEP pode parecer-te absurda. Contudo, quem mencionou o NEP não fui eu, nem nenhum outro colaborador, mas o ex-presidente e fundador do partido José Genoíno.

Fernado Henrique Cardoso, uma das principais lideranças do PSDB, já declarou-se "ser mais socialista do que Lula". Por causa disso, é suspeito caracterizar o PSDB como partido de direita. Todavia, tanto para o PSDB, quanto para os outros partidos políticos, na minha opinião, tanto tu quanto eu, ao mesmo tempo temos e não temos razão. A definição do que é "esquerda" ou "direita" em muitas situações é confusa. No Brasil, a caracterização do que é um partido de esquerda ou direita, pode ser difícil e talvez até impossível de fazer, tendo em vista que alguns partidos políticos são apenas de "fachada". As exceções ficam com: PT, PCdoB, PSTU e PSOL, que são partidos políticos claramente de esquerda.

Se eu tiver tempo eu voltarei ao artigo e discutirei com muito prazer contigo as alterações. Muito atenciosamente despeço-me.

Agradeço muitíssimo por ter me avisado sobre as modificações. --Carlosar 14:49, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Partido dos Trabalhadores -2
Eu dei uma olhada rápida no artigo do Partido dos Trabalhadores e na minha opinião aparentemente ele está escrito de forma correta e precisa. A única sentença que não gostei muito foi aquela que compara Hugo Chávez a Getúlio Vargas. De qualquer forma, o tema "Partido dos Trabalhadores" tem uma certa complexidade e é natural, por causa disso, que surjam várias discussões em torno dele. Grato pela atenção --Carlosar 15:05, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Partido dos Trabalhadores -3
A informação sobre o NEP não fui eu que coloquei, mesmo assim eu concordo com ela. Eu não quero dizer com isso que tu não tenhas alguma razão, talvez a informação sobre o NEP tenha sido mal colocada, e tu tenhas entendido de uma forma equivocada. Eu convido-o a ler a seguinte entrevista de José Genoino publicada no Portal do Partido dos Trabalhadores. Reproduzo uma parte aqui (com grifos e anotações minhas):

Estado - Mas não há como negar que na economia houve um aprofundamento da política de Fernando Henrique.

''Genoino - Nós não estamos aprofundando. Tivemos de segurar o boi pelos chifres para poder sair dessa situação. Já disse para os meus companheiros que eles precisam ler uma das decisões do Lenin, depois da Revolução de 1917 [é aqui que entra o NEP!]. Ele fez concessões a multinacionais sobre exploração do petróleo de Baku, porque não tinha dinheiro para explorar. O problema é o sentido político de tomar essas medidas. Você toma essas medidas no sentido de aprofundar o modelo ou no sentido de processualmente criar condições para outro modelo.''

Ou seja, o projeto do PT é seguir uma certa política ortodoxa capitalista até que haja condições para mudar para o socialismo, da mesma forma como fez Lênin com o NEP. Como o NEP foi permitida a existência de propriedades privadas e um sistema mercado capitalista para que a União Soviética se desenvolvesse e fossem criadas as condições para a revolução socialista. O Brasil não é um país essencialmente agrário, é industrializado, contudo ainda meio fraco no que diz respeito às exportações industriais.

O que se quer dizer com o NEP é isso aí. Desenvolver primeiro a economia, nem que seja necessário adotar práticas ortodoxas de caráter capitalista primeiro, para que com uma economia forte seja possível realizar a revolução socialista.

Espero que tu tenhas conseguido entender o meu ponto de vista.

Obrigado, mais uma vez, pela atenção  --Carlosar 02:38, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Nota: Na mesma entrevista Genoino fala em criar "um país democrático". Eu tenho algumas críticas sobre o sentido dessa afirmação, na medida em que o PT mantém laços fortes com partidos e países não-democráticos como Cuba, Partido Cubano, China, Venezuela, etc.

PT-4 Eu mudei no artigo do PT em inglês para "Democratic Socialism" com base no Estatuto do PT aprovado pelo Diretório Nacional em 31/03/2001(Disponível no site do PT) em seu Capítulo 1,Artigo 1,o qual diz que o objetivo do PT é construir o socialismo democrático,e como está na Wikipedia a ideologia oficial é "Democratic Socialism" não somente "Socialism".

POV on Brazilian scandal page
You need to explain why you think it is POV on the talk page, and if we cannot agree on how to rectify it then you can post the tag. It's not good just to put that up there without people understanding what needs to be done. This page is merely a partial translation of the Portuguese Wikipedia (which has had substantial input from PT and non-PT editors) so I don't understand how the English page could be uniquely POV. Tfine80 22:15, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Good... I only want the best, most fair article. If the problem is that you think that the article only dwells on the minutia of the scandal without much context, I can help put the outside history of corruption of other parties in a more fair form. Tfine80 23:06, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Pois nem reparei. So reparei num edit muito estranho. José acho que precisas de ouvir pessoas de outros países o muito, leva um "i" nasalizado em todo o lado. É uma caracteristica e uma excepção. Nem foi eu que pus o muito, deve ser usado outro exemplo. E, esquecer o muito. Já aquilo da Caixa que achas que é brasileiro é um som tipico do sul de Portugal( a tal falta de ditongos), que naturalmente alguns brasileiros usam. E, acho que não está ali a fazer nada. Dizer que uns pronunciam o "ou" como "o" e outros como "ou", é relevante. Além de ser um ditongo diferente, é uma particularidade. Agora dizer que uns pronunciam "ai" como "a", não é tão relevante assim, até porque o som "a" já existe noutros lado. Não se deve confudir a tabela de sons com a tabela de dialectos. Mesmo tendo sons de dialectos. Só que esses sons são unicos. -Pedro 00:28, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

scandal
Although I've never been to Brazil and haven't read all of the publications related to the scandal, I think I have an interesting perspective for a few reasons. I went to Harvard University where I met a lot of VERY rich Brazilian who were scared of Lula and I met many other poor to lower middle class Brazilian immigrants near where I lived. (boston is a huge center of Brazilian immigration) Now I live in the New York City neighboorhood with the most Brazilians, and I work with Brazilians everyday...

We definitely should chat about it. My MSN chat account (which I think you are talking about) is todd_fine@hotmail.com; I still haven't received yours. Perhaps you can access me first. Best, Tfine80 19:15, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

Partido dos Trabalhadores & afins
Em relação ao mensalão, não é nenhuma novidade caixa-2 em partidos políticos, nem irregularidades praticadas por políticos. Todavia, o que é novo e extremamente grave no mensalão, é o fato de ter havido a compra de deputados pelo poder Executivo. Esta é algo do qual nunca se teve notícia no país e é muito grave.

O Jornal do Brasil denunciou o pagamento de mesadas a deputados já em setembro de 2004, bem antes de Roberto Jefferson fazer suas declarações à Folha de S. Paulo ou às Comissões de Investigação. Roberto Jefferson apenas foi quem ousou dizer que "o rei estava nu".

Além de Jefferson, o governador de Goiás, Marconi Perillo, o ex-ministro Walfrido Mares Guia e a deputada Raquel Teixeira (PSDB-GO), apenas para ficar nessas três pessoas, confirmaram o mensalão. A deputada Raquel Teixeira (PSDB-GO) inclusive admitiu ter sido convidada a participar do mensalão.

A conversa de financiamento irregular de campanhas políticas é a estratégia que o governo e o PT encontraram para mudar o foco das atenções. Esse argumento inclusive cai por terra tendo em vista a quantidade de dinheiro e o tamanho do esquema de corrupção que foi montado e que aos poucos vai sendo posto à mostra com as investigações. --Carlosar 20:28, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Portuguese Grammar
What would you think (being the main author of Portuguese grammar if we were to merge it with Portuguese in a grammatical appendice? This might save two seperate efforts to create the same information. {I could use some help with the advanced parts of Portuguese myself as I'm writing the Portuguese wikibook to help me learn the language - i barely speak it at all) 60.230.132.204 09:04, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

French diaresis
Thanks, José. I understand what the diaresis does. (Okay, sloppy wording, perhaps.) But I still wonder how Ci-tro-ën is pronounced. Is the last syllable pronounced as an, or as in (nasalized [e]), for example? kwami 23:32, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hmm. That makes me wonder where the name Saint Saëns came from. would be a rather interesting pronunciation. Unless it's a holdover from before the n elided into a nasal vowel? kwami 23:53, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, today the s in Saëns is pronouced but the diaresis is not: either or  (I've seen conflicting accounts). I just can't figure out what the diaresis indicated when it was pronounced. But I don't think the Portuguese nasalized diphthongs are so odd. They aren't hard to pronounce, though I would probably have a hard time getting a good accent. kwami

Castro
I believe the article should imply or state that Castro is a dictator, and the failed AFD on List of Dictators signals that Wikipedia does not feel such characterizations are POV. Pinochet is described as a dictator in his intro, so should Castro. CJK 15:58, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Moncada
I am not too familiar with Wikipedia. Perhaps you would help me? My source is the book Cuba: Anatomy of a Revolution by Leo Huberman and Paul M. Sweezy, CHAPTER 4, The Assault on Moncada, page 29.

In all seriousness, I am very sorry if I offended you.

81.232.92.73

From page 29: "By far the largest number of rebels who lost their lives were murdered after the assault was over. In Santiago there began the sort of blood bath which was to characterize teh Batista regime and bring the total number of his victims to 20,000 before he was finally overthrown. Trigger-happy police and army men roamed the streets firing at anybody - Children as well as adults; in their search for persons who had in any way helped the rebels, the army arrested innocent as well as guilty - and killed them. Batista's orders were carried out: for each of his soldiers who had fallen in the attack, ten prisoners were to be executed. Civil rights were suspended and rigid censorship imposed.

But the story of the butchery that followed the rebel assault on Moncada could not be supressed. To many families in Santiago had seen or heard about the killings of their loved ones, or friends, and they protested. Monsignor Perez Serantes, Archbishop of Santiago, secured a promise from teh army commanding officer in the city that the lives of the rebels still at large would be spared if they gave themselves up; they would be brought to trial, not murdered.

That was now the public position of topy army officials. But privately they gave orders to their men that the leader of the rebels, Fidel Castro, was not to be taken alive. Now, by one of the strange ironies of history, the army patrol that discovered Fidel and two companies exhausted and asleep in a shack in the foothills of the Sierra Maestra, was headed by Lieutenant Perdro Sarria who had been a student at the university while Fidel was active there. None of the other soldiers int he patrol recognizzed the prisoner. As he bent over Fidel, ostensibly searching him for arms, Lieutenant Sarria whispered in his ear: "Don't give your right name or you will be shot. With Fidel in prison Raul Castro, with his men, came down from their hideout in the mountains and surrendered"

So this is according to this book which was published in 1960. Leo Huberman and Paul M. Sweezy met Che Guevara and other revolutionary leaders. So I assume the book is pretty accurate.

It seems that I missed the rank.. I believe I wrote Sergeant, when in reality it was Lieutenant. Perhaps I missed a few other facts, as I wrote it according to my memory...

And thanks for the tip, I will register...

Erode
Dear Sanmartin, see below:

Choose the right dictionary for you...

Definition erode   Hide phonetics verb [I or T] 1 to rub or be rubbed away gradually: Wind and rain have eroded the statues into shapeless lumps of stone. The cliffs are eroding several feet a year.

2 to slowly reduce or destroy: His behaviour over the last few months has eroded my confidence in his judgement.

erosion   Hide phonetics noun [U] soil/coastal erosion

(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary) Erode is a good for describing what is happening with Lula's approval.

your IPA insertion at Hugo Chavez
Some of the symbols you used to render the Spanish language IPA for Hugo Chavez are not found in the IPA chart for English — so I'm left puzzled regarding what system you used. In addition, being a Spanish speaker myself and having heard audio of native Spanish speakers pronouncing Chavez's name, I can definitively say that the first IPA (the one you inexplicably labelled "English") is the Spanish-language pronunciation. It should be the only one listed, since yours (the second one) seems to be a corrupted/Americanized version of mine. Could you explain? Saravask 22:53, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

POV MST
I will reestablsih comment. This a fact (with proper link news). POV is deleting fact. Please prove why shoulbe removed. It was news on CNN and commented by international analysts (here in NY). Political instability as well violation of property rights are common economic risks (embedded in credit spreads) for developing countries. Cloretti2 02:48, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Dear SanMartin

Read economic comment (number 9) from Bloomberg in the page. Bloomberg is the most respect financial eletronic media with Reuters in the world. MST is a serious thing for Brazilian analysts here in NY. RegardsCloretti2 03:13, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Private property is a clear right in Brazil. When you put clauses such as "social functions" reminds the old Soviet state. Just for curiosity, what should be a social function of a private condom, a golf course, a tennis court ? Interesting, no ??? Cloretti2 03:26, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

If you see, current facts have good economic points for Brazil...Major issues aglomerate serious problems...well..I think it is well formatted. regardsCloretti2 03:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

No..it is not. Because this is constant, do you undertand? Consider the point of view of foreign investor: when Kichner does that with Shell in Argentina, India, in the past with Coke, Chavez with American companies in Venezuela, etc, etc,etc,etc....That persists in you memory...That puts Brazil in the same category as those countries. Never would you see something like this in Japan, Germany or England (even France,,,hahaha)?...That is deadly serious...it is the concept...not the size of the thing...Many regards my friednCloretti2 03:36, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Because there are many people that say there is a link between MST and PT (and I will not put that in article because I cannot prove...it would be a serious POV). But you cannot deny that there is this issue...More important, it was a research center, oh Christ...and government seems complacent with that..(another POV)....MST hurts Brazil all the time that does it and investor really think : what´s best ? Malaysia or Brazil ? India or Brazil ? China or Brazil ?....The concept of protection of private property - this is the major issue...GOOD NIGHTCloretti2 03:45, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Caro José, tenho observado algumas de suas contribuições na Wikipédia em inglês relacionadas ao Brasil. Peço encarecidamente que ajude-nos a desenvolver igualmente o tema na versão em português, dada a escassês de mão-de-obra para tal.

Answering your enquiries... No, I don't have any relation to user 'justice', and actually never heard of him/her. I have been on wikipedia for some time now, first as an IP, then with other usernames. My main job here has been going after trolls, tackling bias and cleaning up articles (and I've just changed my username to somewhat reflect this a little more), so that's how I stumbled across that article, which, as I said, seems to have been disturbed by a quite authoritarian kind of troll who keeps adding controversial data. Since that user's changes resemble some changes you have made before (and which were justly reverted), you became the prime suspect, there was no way to avoid it. I've seen many ideological trolls around and actually denounced or managed to block a couple of fascists and the like, and you happened to share some of their traits, such as continuously editing, often controversially, highly sensitive pages about communism, revolutionaries and Latin American politicians. That's the evidence, period. But don't worry. I won't push it too hard. Now, if it weren't you, at least someone surely did it, and if you can help stop the trolling, please do so. I have considered your prompt and somewhat hasty response - I say that it must have been hasty and perhaps inattentive because you actually posted it on my main userpage instead of my talk page, besides displaying some quite lousy English spelling ('responsability'?? belicosity?? you're usually more attentive on articles, as far as I can see). But that's fine, my friend. I must give you the benefit of the doubt. Sorry for any trouble. Justice III 17:43, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Moving Senate of Brazil
Hi. I realize you could not move the previous title "Federal Senate of Brazil" to "Senate of Brazil" as we had discussed on the talk page because there was already a redirect at that name. When that happen, however, you need to contact an Administrator to perform the move. Never perform a copy-and-paste (i.e. simply deleting the previous content of the redirect and replacing it with the copied text from the other article). This messes with the accuracy of the history of contributions, which cannot happen due to the specifications of the GFDL licence, which Wikipedia uses. I have fixed the situation, by merging the histories and moving the article properly. But please remember: never perform copy-and-paste moves. When faced with a situation where a common move cannot be performed, contact an Administrator. Thanks, Redux 23:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

The magic 4 articles
Portuguese language, Portuguese phonology, Guttural R, and Voiced uvular fricative.

You seem not a bit neutral on this dispute. My changes were not drastical, they were made on a single subject. The usage of the "r". This is too much for me. Is this an in inventing encyclopedia?

"I would sure love to see what sources he based his edits on." by FilipeS. What morality do wikipedians have to ommit things and change them according what they think is reality? Is he based on brazilian books about portuguese language? If so, that is not the most valuable source, since european portuguese phonetics are not really a home specialty.

I repeat what I said in the request for arbitration:

I'll prove what I'm saying, if that's not enough I'll interview people in Portugal, and record their phonetics for professor and guardian of morality Mr.FilipeS to listen.

And why oh why, do I have to prove what I'm saying? Why his edits have priority? Where has this come to? Portuguese people that not use Gutural R's have to prove this. What an irony. Who is Mr.FilipeS? And HE is lying blatantly when he says I don't have a talk page. He started the aggressive reverting and now has to endure its consequences.

Do I seem I'll give up of proving this? What do you want for a start? Do you want me to scan books about the R in Portugal?

--Richard George 18:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

 * You seem to be a sympathetic guy! Thank you. How will we be doing about the 4 articles? The subject seems the same: The "R". Is it better to discuss on only one talkpage? We may discuss it in the "Portuguese Phonetics" and then if my sources «approved» (I can't believe, portuguese professors need to be approved, but ok, baby steps) we make the needed updates. Last resort I propose to create an article just about the "R" in Portugal.

Maria Konopnicka

Maria Konopnicka (23 May 1842 – 8 October 1910 ) was a Polish poet, novelist, children's writer, translator, journalist, critic, and activist for women's rights and for Polish independence. She used pseudonyms, including Jan Sawa. She was one of the most important poets of Poland's Positivist period.

Life
Konopnicka was born in Suwałki on 23 May 1842. Her father, Józef Wasiłowski, was a lawyer. She was home-schooled and spent a year (1855–56) at a convent pension of the Sisters of Eucharistic Adoration in Warsaw (Zespół klasztorny sakramentek w Warszawie). She made her debut as a writer in 1870 with the poem, "W zimowy poranek" ("On a Winter's Morn"). She gained popularity after the 1876 publication of her poem, "W górach" ("In the Mountains"), which was praised by future Nobel laureate Henryk Sienkiewicz. In 1862 she married Jarosław Konopnicki. They had six children. The marriage was not a happy one, as her husband disapproved of her writing career. In a letter to a friend, she described herself as "having no family" and as being "a bird locked in a cage". Eventually in 1878, in an unofficial separation, she left her husband and moved to Warsaw to pursue writing. She took her children with her. She would often travel in Europe; her first major trip was to Italy in 1883. She spent the years 1890–1903 living abroad in Europe. Her life has been described as "turbulent", including extramarital romances, deaths, and mental illnesses in the family. She was a friend of a Polish woman poet of the Positivist period, Eliza Orzeszkowa, and of the painter and activist Maria Dulębianka. In addition to being an active writer, she was also a social activist, organizing and participating in protests against the repression of ethnic (primarily Polish) and religious minorities in Prussia. She was also involved in women's-rights activism.

Her literary work in the 1880s gained wide recognition in Poland. In 1884 she began writing children's literature, and in 1888 she debuted as an adult-prose writer with Cztery nowele (Four Short Stories). Due to the growing popularity of her writings, in 1902 a number of Polish activists decided to reward her by buying her a manor house. It was purchased with funds collected by a number of organizations and activists. As Poland was not an independent country at the time, and as her writings were politically uncongenial to the Prussian and Russian authorities, a location was chosen in the more tolerant Austrian partition of pre-Partition Poland. In 1903 she received a manor in Żarnowiec, where she arrived on 8 September. She would spend most springs and summers there, but she would still travel about Europe in fall and winter. She died in Lwów (now Lviv, Ukraine) on 8 October 1910. She was buried there in the Łyczakowski Cemetery. As per her wish Dulębianka was laid to rest next to her.

Work
Konopnicka wrote prose (primarily short stories) as well as poems. One of her most characteristic styles were poems stylized as folk songs. She would try her hand at many genres of literature, such as reportage sketches, narrative memoirs, psychological portrait studies and others.

A common theme in her works was the oppression and poverty of the peasantry, workers, and Polish Jews. Due to her sympathy for Jewish people, she was considered a philosemite. Her works were also highly patriotic and nationalistic.

One of her best known works is the long epic in six cantos, Mister Balcer in Brazil (Pan Balcer w Brazylii, 1910), on the Polish emigrants in Brazil. Another one was Rota (Oath, 1908) which set to the music by Feliks Nowowiejski two years later became an unofficial anthem of Poland, particularly in the territories of the Prussian Partition. This patriotic poem was strongly critical of the Germanization policies and thus described as anti-German. Her most famous children's literature work is the 1896 O krasonoludkach i sierotce Marysi (Little Orphan Mary and the Gnomes). Her children literature works were well received, as compared to many other works of the period.

Maria Konopnicka also composed a poem about the execution of the Irish patriot, Robert Emmet. Emmet was executed by the British authorities in Dublin in 1803, but Konopnicka published her poem on the topic in 1908.

She was also a translator. Her translated works include Ada Negri's Fatalita and Tempeste, published in Poland in 1901.

Welcoming
Hello. I just saw your message on Meelar's talk page. Meelar is the only human being known to welcome people faster than a bot can. :-) Every change made to any page in Wikipedia shows up on Recent Changes.  There are a lot of us who patrol Recent Changes, making sure all of the edits are good.  When we see someone whose name is in red, that means they've not written anything on their user page and are probably a new user.  We then check to make sure they've been welcomed.  Meelar just happens to be very fast at welcoming people.  I would like to add my welcome.  I hope you enjoy editing here.  If you have any questions, you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page. :-) SWAdair | Talk  08:17, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Smash Mouth and The Waterboys
Hi. I'd like to get the article on The Waterboys fully referenced, and I notice that you made this edit that included The Waterboys as an influence on Steven Harwell. Do you happen to have a reference for that? It would be very helpful. Thanks. Jkelly 04:10, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I can't remember where I read that, but I know I read it somewhere (I didn't make it up). Hm, google wasn't much help, which makes me wonder (I thought google knew everything...). I'll try to find out where I got it from. -Kvaks 21:38, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

 * When I made that edit, after reading (somewhere) that Waterboys was one of his influences, I changed "Harwell credits Van Halen, Velvet Revolver, and Elvis Presley as his greatest influences" to "Harwell credits Van Halen, The Waterboys, and Elvis Presley as his greatest influences" thinking that Velvet Revolver is a contemporary band and cannot be a influence on an musician whose career's beginnings predates that band. I now see on the Smash Mouth web site that Harwell lists "Van Halen, Velvet Revolver, and Elvis Presley" as favorite music, not his influence, so I should probably change that whole sentence in the Harwell WP article. I'm still sure that I read somewhere that The Waterboys was an infuence on him (incredible as it may sound), else there's no way I'd have made that edit. - Kvaks 22:05, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

 * The reason that I asked is because I am doing a lot of work at The Waterboys (perhaps you would care to contribute at peer review?). It's a shame that we can't find a source for it.  02:49, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Renaming
Can you update some of the links affected by your change of The Bridge (Iain Banks) to The Bridge (novel)? Guinnog 07:21, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Is that really necessary? I updated the only double redirect. Besides, I'm not even sure the move was such a good idea. It depends on the likelyhood of the other novels mentioned on The_Bridge_(disambiguation) getting wikipedia articles (I have no idea how noteworthy they are). It'd be a lot of unnecessary work to change the links if the page is moved back. --Kvaks 12:07, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Not really necessary, no, just arguably good manners. It's a lot of work either way. However, I agree with your move and will not revert it. Guinnog 18:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:35, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Image
I'm sorry, but I just have to ask. Are you sure that this image is actually from the film The Humpacked Horse by Ivan Ivanov-Vano? The thing is, I've seen the 1947 film and there's no image that's like it. There's a scene which resembles it, but that exact image isn't seen anywhere. I don't think it's the 1975 version either - it just doesn't fit with its art style. Could this be perhaps either concept art from the film or from another work entirely? And could I know where you found the image? Esn 08:39, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi ESN, the image is a production sketch, not a filmstill. It's scanned from Ivanov-Vano's autobiography Кадр за кадром. timo 08:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for getting back to me. :) I've updated the information on the image now.  By the way, you may already know about this, but if not you may be interested: I think a lot of Russia's leading animators/directors can be found online at places like this (there are also some similar groups, including one dedicated to Norshteyn). Through a quick glance, I already found Mikhail Tyumelya (who made The Magic Pipe). Esn 09:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Constantine of Preslav

Constantine of Preslav (Константин Преславски) was a medieval Bulgarian scholar, writer and translator, one of the most important men of letters working at the Preslav Literary School at the end of the 9th and the beginning of the 10th century. Biographical evidence about his life is scarce but he is believed to have been a disciple of Saint Methodius. After the saint's death in 885, Constantine was jailed by the Germanic clergy in Great Moravia and sold as slave in Venice. He escaped to Constantinople, moving to Bulgaria around 886 and working at the Preslav Literary School.

He was one of the most prolific and important writers in Old Bulgarian (the Bulgarian recension of Old Church Slavonic). His most significant literary work was Учително евангелие (The Didactic Gospel), usually dated to the first years of the reign of Bulgarian tsar Simeon I, 893 – 894. The work represents a compilation of lectures about a number of church holidays and is the first systematic work treating sermons in Slavic literature. The compilation also features the poetic preface Азбучна молитва (Alphabet Prayer), the first original poetry in Old Church Slavonic.

In 894 Constantine of Preslav wrote the historical work Историкии (Histories), the first historical chronicle in Slavic literature. In 906, by commission from Simeon I, the author translated Четири слова против арианите (Four Epistles against the Arians) by Saint Athanasius of Alexandria, as a response to the beginning of the spread of heresies in medieval Bulgaria. Constantine is also the alleged author of Служба на Методия (Service for Methodius), in which he relates the struggle of Saint Methodius for the recognition of Old Church Slavonic, as well as of Проглас към евангелието (Proclamation of the Holy Gospels) in which he rejects and admonishes the admiration of the foreign language (mean. Greek) and champions Old Bulgarian for the development and elevation of Bulgarian culture.

None of the original works of Constantine of Preslav has survived the burning of Preslav by Byzantine Emperor John I Tzimisces in 972 and the period of Ottoman rule (1396 – 1878). All of his works are known from copies, the earliest of which date back to the 12th and the 13th century.

Tokaj wine region

Tokaj wine region (Tokaji borvidék Vinohradnícka oblasť Tokaj ) or Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region (short Tokaj-Hegyalja or Hegyalja) is a historical wine region located in northeastern Hungary and southeastern Slovakia. It is also one of the seven larger wine regions of Hungary (Tokaji borrégió). Hegyalja means "foothills" in Hungarian, and this was the original name of the region.

The region consists of 28 named villages and 11,149 hectares of classified vineyards, of which an estimated 5,500 are currently planted. Tokaj is particularly famous as the origin of Tokaji aszú wine, the world's oldest botrytized wine. Because of its testimony to a long and unique tradition of viticulture and its cultural importance as a wine-making region, Tokaj was declared a World Heritage Site in 2002 under the name Tokaj Wine Region Historic Cultural Landscape.

Due to the Treaty of Trianon, a smaller part of the historical wine region now belongs to Slovakia.

Characteristics
Some of the characteristics which make the Tokaj wine region unique are:

 * Soil and microclimate: The Tokaj terroir consists of clay or loess soil on volcanic subsoil. The microclimate is determined by the sunny, south-facing slopes and the proximity of the Tisza and Bodrog rivers, and is conducive to the proliferation of Botrytis (noble rot) and the subsequent desiccation of the grapes.
 * Indigenous grape varieties: Furmint and Hárslevelű have been cultivated in the region for centuries and, together with Yellow Muscat (Hungarian: Sárgamuskotály), Kabar, Kövérszőlő and Zéta, are the only grape varieties officially permitted for use in the region.
 * Cellars: A vast system of cellars was carved out of solid rock between 1400 and 1600 AD. They provide a constant temperature of around 10-12 °C. The cellars are covered with a characteristic mold, which feeds off the alcohol evaporated during aging and keeps the humidity in the range of 85-90%, which is ideal for the aging of Tokaji wines.
 * Appellation system: A royal decree in 1737 or 1757 established a closed production district in Tokaj, supposedly the world's earliest system of wine appellation (though the claim is disputed by Chianti, whose territory was defined in 1716). Vineyard classification began in 1730 and was completed by the national censuses of 1765 and 1772.

History
Historical records show that vineyards had been established in Tokaj as early as the 12th century, but there is evidence for the earlier introduction of wine production to the region.

A number of experts claim that viticulture could have started in the Tokaj region as early as in the Celtic times, that is BC. A petrified grape leaf found in Erdőbénye and dating from the late 3rd century AD, points to the existence of viticulture in Roman times. Slavs arrived in the region in the late 5th/early 6th century. One possible origin for the name "Tokaj" is that it is derived from the Slavic word "Stokaj", meaning approximately confluence (i.e. confluence of the rivers Bodrog and Tisza). The Slovaks claim that Slavs continued previous viticulture in the region. Magyar settlers arrived in Tokaj from the end of the 9th Century and there is an alternative theory that viticulture was introduced to the region from the east, possibly by the Kabar tribe. The Magyars themselves seem to have had an ancient tradition of wine-making (see: Origins of Hungarian wine-making). Another possible origin for the name "Tokaj" is that it comes from an Armenian word meaning "grape".

Latin people were first invited to settle in Tokaj by Hungarian King Béla III (1172–1196) and then by Béla IV (1235–1270). These immigrants were probably Walloons from northern France, although some researchers claim that they were Italians. Slavic peoples (Slovaks and Rusyns) are also documented as being involved in Tokaj viticulture by the 12th century. However, the rise of Tokaj as a major wine region can be dated to the early 16th Century.

Around 1620 the Emperor imported a Walloon-French wine-farmer Duvont, who later invented what would be known as the "king of wines"-method in the Tokaji-district.

In honour of Mr. Duvont's exceptional skills, the Emperor ennobled this farmer, and gave him one of his many villages (Kiralyfalva), now Königsdorf in Austria. The emperor then named the family Királyfalvy.

Tokaji wine became an increasingly important commodity for the region from the 17th century, its export being a major source of income for the ruling princes of Transylvania to which the Tokaj region belonged at the time. Indeed, revenues from the increasingly renowned Tokaji Aszú wine helped to pay for the wars of independence fought against Austrian Habsburg rule. The repute of Tokaji wine was enhanced when in 1703, Francis II Rákóczi, prince of Transylvania, gave King Louis XIV of France a gift of numerous bottles of wine from his Tokaj estate. Tokaji wine was then served at the Versailles Court, where it became known under the name of Tokay. Delighted with the precious beverage, Louis XIV declared it "Vinum Regum, Rex Vinorum" ("Wine of Kings, King of Wines").

In the 18th Century, Tokaj reached the height of its prosperity. Both Poland and Russia had become major export markets for its wine. Such was the importance of Tokaji in Russia, that the Russian emperors maintained a de facto colony in Tokaj in order to guarantee the supply of wine to the Imperial Court.

The partition of Poland in 1795 and subsequent imposition of customs duties dealt a severe blow to the exports of Tokaji wine and precipitated the economic decline of the region. However, this was only the first of three major crises for Tokaj. The second occurred when the phylloxera epidemic reached Tokaj in 1885 and destroyed the vast majority of the vineyards in a matter of years. The third shock was when Hungary lost two-thirds of its territory under the peace Treaty of Trianon signed in June 1920, and thus Tokaj wine lost access to the majority of its domestic market. The region was also divided between Hungary and the newly created Czechoslovakia, which gained an area of 120 hectares (with the exception of 1938–1944, when Hungary took control over the territory). The latter now forms part of an adjoining wine region in Slovakia with approximately 908 hectares of classified Tokaj vineyards.

The era of communist rule in Hungary saw a deterioration in the quality and reputation of Tokaji wines. However, since 1990 a considerable amount of investment has gone into the Tokaj region, creating what has been dubbed as the "Tokaj Renaissance". There are now almost 600 wineries in the region, of which about 50 produce the full range of wines.

The "Designation of origin" dispute
Tokaj wine is, by its unique character, a luxurious commodity with a strong appeal to the international market.

The dispute started in 1964 when, for the first time, the then Czechoslovakia exported its excessive production of Tokaj wine to Austria, the market that used to be solely supplied with this commodity by Hungary. The conflict of interests was settled in a bilateral agreement according to which Slovakia - at the expense of the Czech beer-related concession on Hungarian part - was only allowed to export its overproduction of Tokaj wine to Hungary (which consequently re-labeled and re-exported it). This agreement expired in 1990 after which date the dispute arose again. An agreement was reached in June 2004 between the Hungarian and Slovak governments concerning the use of the Tokaj name in Slovakia. Under this agreement, wine produced on 5.65 km2 of land in Slovakia is able to use the Tokaj name. However, the Slovak part did not observe their legally binding undertaking, which was to introduce the same standards enshrined in Hungarian wine laws since 1990. It has not yet been decided who will monitor or enforce those laws. The disputes led Slovakia into an international lawsuit between Hungary and five other countries (Italy, France, Australia, Serbia and Slovenia), for the brand name "Tokaji". (see details: Tokaji)

In November 2012, the European Court ruled against Hungary's request to erase the Slovak entry “Vinohradnícka oblasť Tokaj” from “E-Bacchus”, an electronic database containing a register of designations of origin and geographical indications protected in the EU. Hungary lodged an appeal against the judgement of the General Court. In February 2013, the EU Court of Justice has turned down the Hungarian appeal against an earlier ruling concerning Slovakia's registration of “Vinohradnícka oblasť Tokaj” (Tokaj Wine Region), which contains the name of Hungary's Tokaj region. In its ruling, the court said that Slovakia's registering its “Vinohradnícka oblasť Tokaj” in the European database E-Bacchus did not constitute an actionable measure. As a result, under the current EU legislation the wine-growing region of Tokaj is located in both Hungary and Slovakia. Therefore, wine producers from both the Hungarian Tokaj region and the Slovak Tokaj region may use the Tokaj brand name.

Erico Verissimo

Érico Lopes Verissimo (December 17, 1905 – November 28, 1975) was an important Brazilian writer, born in the State of Rio Grande do Sul.

Biography
Érico Verissimo was the son of Sebastião Verissimo da Fonseca and Abegahy Lopes Verissimo. His father, heir of a rich family in Cruz Alta, met financial ruin during his son's youth and, as a result, Erico didn't complete secondary school because of the need to work.

Verissimo settled in Cruz Alta as the owner of a drugstore, but was unsuccessful. He then moved to Porto Alegre in 1930, willing to live solely by selling his writing. There he began to live around writers of renown, such as Mário Quintana, Augusto Meyer, Guilhermino César and others. In the following year, he was hired to occupy the position of secretary of edition of the Revista do Globo, of which he would become editor in 1933. He then undertook the whole editorial project at Editora Globo, propelling its nationwide fame.

He published his first work, Fantoches ("Puppets"), in 1932, with a sequence of short stories, mostly in the form of short plays. The following year, he saw his first great success with the romance Clarissa.

Verissimo married in 1931 to Mafalda Volpe and had two children, Luis Fernando Verissimo, also a writer, and Clarissa.

In 1943 he moved with his family to the United States, where he gave lessons on Brazilian Literature in the University of California-Berkeley, until 1945. Between 1953 and 1956 he was director of the Department of Cultural Affairs of the Organization of American States, in Washington, D.C. This period of his life was recorded in some of his books, including: Gato Preto em Campo de Neve ("Black Cat in a Snow Field"), A Volta do Gato Preto ("The Return of the Black Cat"), and História da Literatura Brasileira ("History of Brazilian Literature"), which contains some of his lectures at UCLA. His epic O Tempo e o Vento ("The Time and the Wind'") became one of the great masterpieces of the Brazilian novel, alongside Os Sertões by Euclides da Cunha, and Grande Sertão: Veredas by Guimarães Rosa.

His historical trilogy O Tempo e o Vento ("The Time and the Wind") is considered as his greatest work, written in the period of 1949-1961, from which arose primordial characters such as Ana Terra and Capitão Rodrigo that went on to become popular amongst his readers. Four of his, Time and the Wind, Night, Mexico, and His Excellency, the Ambassador, were translated into the English language by Linton Lomas Barrett.

In 1965 Verissimo published the romance O Senhor Embaixador ("His Excellency, the Ambassador"), in which he reflected upon the deviations of Latin America.

In the romance Incidente em Antares ("Incident in Antares"), written in 1971, he traces a parallel with Brazilian politics with the use of fantasy, with the rebellion of corpses during a strike of the gravekeepers, in the fictitious city of Antares.

After suffering from a heart attack in 1975, Verissimo was unable to complete the second volume of his autobiography entitled Solo de Clarineta ("Clarinet Solo"), which was intended to be a trilogy, apart from a romance which would be entitled A Hora do Sétimo Anjo ("The Hour of the Seventh Angel").

He was the father of another famous writer of Rio Grande do Sul, Luis Fernando Verissimo.

Oseberg Ship

The Oseberg ship (Norwegian: Osebergskipet) is a well-preserved Viking ship discovered in a large burial mound at the Oseberg farm near Tønsberg in Vestfold county, Norway. This ship is commonly acknowledged to be among the finest artifacts to have survived from the Viking Age. The ship and some of its contents are displayed at the Viking Ship Museum at Bygdøy on the western side of Oslo, Norway.

Excavation of the ship from the Oseberg burial mound (Norwegian: Oseberghaugen ved Slagen from the Old Norse word haugr meaning kurgan mound or barrow) was undertaken by Swedish archaeologist Gabriel Gustafson and Norwegian archaeologist Haakon Shetelig in 1904–1905. The grave also contained two female human skeletons as well as a considerable number of grave goods. Scientific dating of the ship suggests it was buried no earlier than 834, although certain parts of its structure date from as early as 800, while other parts may be even older.

Structure
The ship is a Karve,  clinker built, almost entirely of oak. It is 21.58 m in length and 5.10 m broad, with a mast of approximately 9–10 m in height. With a likely sail area of 90 m², the ship could have achieved a speed of up to 10 kn. The ship has 15 pairs of openings for oars, enabling up to 30 people to row it. Other fittings include a broad steering oar, iron anchor, gangplank, and a bailer. The bow and stern of the ship are elaborately decorated with complex woodcarvings in the characteristic "gripping beast" style, also known as the Oseberg style.

During the debate on whether to move the original ship to a proposed new museum, thorough investigations were made into the feasibility of moving the ship without damaging it. As part of that process, highly detailed photographic and laser scans of both the exterior and interior of the ship were made.

Replica
In 2004, an attempt to build a copy of the Oseberg ship was launched. A collective effort of Norwegian and Danish professional builders, scientists and volunteers engaged in this new attempt with the photo and laser scans made available free of charge to the builders. During this new attempt, it was discovered that during the initial restoration of the ship a breach in some of the beams had been made and that the ship was therefore inadvertently altered, a fact that had not been appreciated earlier. This may be why an earlier replica, the 'Dronningen', sank; this previous attempt had failed owing to a lack of this knowledge.

In 2010, a new reconstruction project called Saga Oseberg was started. Using timber from Denmark and Norway and utilizing traditional building methods from the Viking Age, this newest Oseberg ship was successfully completed. The new ship was launched from the city of Tønsberg on 20 June 2012. The ship floated very well and in March 2014 it was sailed on the open seas, with Færder as its destination; the ship performed very well, achieving a speed of 10 knots under full sail. The reconstruction was thus a success and demonstrated that the Oseberg ship really could have sailed and was not just a burial chamber on land.

Human remains
The skeletons of two women were found in the grave with the ship. One, probably aged around 80, suffered badly from arthritis. The older woman also had Morgagni's syndrome, which would have given her a masculine appearance and beard. The second was initially believed to be aged 25–30, but analysis of tooth-root translucency suggests she was older (aged 50–55). It is not clear which one was the more important in life or whether one was sacrificed to accompany the other in death. The younger woman had a broken collarbone, initially thought to be evidence that she was a human sacrifice, but closer examination showed that the bone had been healing for several weeks. The opulence of the burial rite and the grave-goods suggests that this was a burial of very high status. One woman wore a very fine red wool dress with a lozenge twill pattern (a luxury commodity) and a fine white linen veil in a gauze weave, while the other wore a plainer blue wool dress with a wool veil, possibly showing some stratification in their social status. Neither woman wore anything entirely made of silk, although small silk strips were appliqued onto a tunic worn under the red dress.

Dendrochronological analysis of timbers in the grave chamber dates the burial to the autumn of 834. Although the high-ranking woman's identity is unknown, it has been suggested that she is Queen Åsa of the Yngling clan, mother of Halfdan the Black and grandmother of Harald Fairhair. Recent tests of the women's remains suggest that they lived in Agder in Norway, as had Queen Åsa. This theory has been challenged, however, and some think that she may have been a shaman. There were also the skeletal remains of 14 horses, an ox, and three dogs found on the ship.

According to Per Holck of the University of Oslo, the younger woman's mitochondrial haplogroup was discovered to be U7. Her direct maternal ancestors came to Norway from the Pontic littoral, probably Iran. Three subsequent studies failed to confirm these results, however, and it is likely that the bone samples contain little (if any) original DNA or have been contaminated through handling.

Examinations of fragments of the skeletons have provided more insight into their lives. The younger woman's teeth showed signs that she used a metal toothpick, a rare 9th century luxury. Both women had a diet composed mainly of meat, another luxury when most Vikings ate fish. However, there was not enough DNA to tell if they were related.

The women were found together in one bed.

Grave goods
The grave had been disturbed in antiquity, and objects made of precious metals were absent. Nevertheless, a great number of everyday items and artifacts were found during the 1904–1905 excavations. These included four elaborately decorated sleighs, a richly carved four-wheel wooden cart, bed-posts, and wooden chests, as well as the so-called "Buddha bucket" (Buddha-bøtte), a brass and cloisonné enamel ornament of a bucket (pail) handle in the shape of a figure sitting with crossed legs. The bucket is made from yew wood, held together with brass strips, and the handle is attached to two anthropomorphic figures compared to depictions of the Buddha in the lotus posture, although any connection is most uncertain. More relevant is the connection between the patterned enamel torso and similar human figures in the Gospel books of the Insular art of Ireland, such as the Book of Durrow. More mundane items such as agricultural and household tools were also found. A series of textiles included woolen garments, imported silks, and narrow tapestries. The Oseberg burial is one of the few sources of Viking Age textiles, and the wooden cart is the only complete Viking Age cart found so far. A bedpost shows one of the few period examples of the use of what has been dubbed the valknut symbol.

The conservation of the wooden artifacts is an ongoing problem. On May 3, 2011, thirteen years after debate began over the disposition of the ship, Norwegian Minister of Education Kristin Halvorsen stated that the ship will not be moved from Bygdøy.
