Welcome to my talk page I watch this one a couple of times a week and my icelandic one daily. Click here if you want to leave me a new message

Icelandic football
Hi. Thanks for your contributions to Iceland topics. As you might have noticed, I have contributed to Icelandic football. I thought I'd share a list of Icelandic football people who I think ought to be covered on Wikipedia.

 * Ólafur Þórðarson (footballer) (72 caps)
 * Atli Eðvaldsson (former national team coach, if I'm not mistaken?)
 * Sævar Jónsson (69 caps)
 * Sigurður Jónsson (65 caps)
 * Marteinn Geirsson (67 caps)
 * Gunnar Gíslason (50 caps)
 * Ríkharður Jónsson (record goalscorer)
 * Arnar Gunnlaugsson
 * Auðun Helgason
 * Brynjar Björn Gunnarsson
 * Tryggvi Guðmundsson

A (somewhat outdated) list of Icelandic footballers with most caps can be found here. In addition, Wikipedia needs an article about Fram Reykjavík. Perhaps, if you get the time, you could cover some of these subjects? :)

 * Yah, I'll see what I can do for those articles in the coming weeks. Thanks for visiting. --Stalfur 00:06, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I have listed these at the Icelandic Wikipedians' notice board/Requested articles --Stalfur 09:49, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Turkmenbashi
Hi,

I saw that you edited the Icelandic version of Saparmurat Niyazov. Can you please fix a little something: there's a link at the end that points to gundogar.org. That site is not written in Turkmen, it's written in Russian and English. Could you please fix that? I don't know Icelandic, which is quite unfortunate, as i really love Icelandic music - gusGus, Múm, Sigur Rós, Björk etc...

Oh, and if we're on the subject - what is the meaning of name Múm? :) --Amir E. Aharoni 19:42, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I have fixed the language indicator at the link, thanks for the correction. As for Múm it does not have a meaning in icelandic, the closest word to it is Múmínálfarnir which is an icelandic transliteration of the Moomin. --Stalfur 23:09, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Article improvement drive
Hi Stalfur,

Icelandic/Old English
Hello,

I just signed up here. What an interesting interface...it will be fun to figure out.

I decided to contact you because I saw you had posted a few things on the Anglo-Saxon Wiki, and that you are also an Icelander. I have a degree in English Language and did much of my work in Anglo-Saxon and Medieval English. Strangely enough, I was initially drawn to Anglo-Saxon because I love Icelandic and wanted to learn it so badly. I couldn't find a way to learn Icelandic at the time, so I started Anglo-Saxon, sort of as a gateway. That was 5 years ago.

Since then i've been able to learn a little Icelandic, although not as much as I'd like. The Anglo-Saxon has helped me so much with the grammar, if only because there are certain concepts that are really hard to understand for those of us who don't already use them (for instance, noun cases).

Anyway, thought I'd say hi, since you mentioned being able to read OE just from knowing Icelandic. I have the same issue, although almost completely backwards!

Happy new year! Elizabeth

 * Glad to hear read it! I've been proofreading an Anglo-Saxon to English dictionary over at Distributed Proofreaders Europe (each page takes half an hour or so, try to be methodical) and it's an interesting process, seeing words which I can relate to and then others that are way off the mark compared to modern Icelandic. --Stalfur 03:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Albert_Gudmundsson.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Albert_Gudmundsson.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 05:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Willum_Thor_Thorsson.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Willum_Thor_Thorsson.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 19:16, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Sigurros Thorgrimsdottir.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sigurros Thorgrimsdottir.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 12:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Request for Help, please
Greetings Stalfur,

Nice to meet you.

Could you kindly help me rewrite these 5 Icelandic passages into the proper Icelandic grammar? (based on the English version):

 * Móttaka Heilagur andi, evidenced með því að tala tungum, er ábyrgð á arf okkar í himnaríki.
 * ("Receiving the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues, is the guarantee of our inheritance of the Kingdom of Heaven".)

 * Vatn Skírninni er sakramentið til fyrirgefningar synda og endurnýjun. Í skírn fer fram í náttúrulegu lifandi vatni, svo sem ánni, sjó eða vor. The Baptist, sem hafði þegar fengið skírn í vatni og heilags anda, stundar í skírn í nafni Drottins Jesú Krists. Og sá sem fær skírn sökkva fullkomlega í vatni með höfuð hneigði og snúa niður.
 * ("Water baptism is the sacrament for the remission of sins and for regeneration. The baptism takes place in natural living water, such as the river, sea, or spring. The Baptist, whom had already received baptism of water and the Holy Spirit, conducts the baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And the person receiving the baptism should be completely immersed in water with head bowed and face downward".

 * The sakramentið á fætur þvottur gerir eitt að hafa hluti með Drottni Jesú. Það þjónar líka sem stöðug áminning um að einn ætti að hafa kærleika, heilagleika, auðmýkt, fyrirgefningu og þjónustu. Sérhver sá hafa fengið vatni skírn ætti að fótum laugast í nafni Jesú Krists. Gagnkvæm fætur þvegið verið stundaður hvenær er viðeigandi.
 * ("The sacrament of feet washing enables one to have a part with the Lord Jesus. It also serves as a constant reminder that one should have love, holiness, humility, forgiveness and service. Every person who has received water baptism should have their feet washed in the name of Jesus Christ. Mutual feet washing may be practiced whenever is appropriate".)

 * Altarissakramenti er sakramentið til að minnast dauða Drottins Jesú Krists. Það gerir okkur að partake af holdi og blóð Drottins okkar og að vera í samfélagi við honum svo að við getum hafi eilíft líf og vera upp á efsta degi. Þetta sakramentið ætti að vera haldin eins oft og mögulegt er. Aðeins einn unleavened brauð og vínberjasafa er notað.
 * ("The Holy Communion is the sacrament to commemorate the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. It enables us to partake of the flesh and blood of our Lord and to be in communion with Him so that we can have eternal life and be raised on the Last Day. This sacrament should be held as often as possible. Only one unleavened bread and grape juice is used".)

 * Hvíldardagur, á sjöunda degi vikunnar (laugardag), er Heilagur Dagur, blessaði og helgaði Guði. Það er að vera fram undir náð Drottins fyrir commemoration af sköpun Guðs og frelsun og með von um eilífa hvíld í lífi að koma.
 * ("The Sabbath day, the seventh day of the week (Saturday), is a Holy Day, blessed and sanctified by God. It is to be observed under the Lord's grace for the commemoration of God's creation and salvation and with the hope of eternal rest in the life to come".)

Your help would be very Gratefully Appreciated, Thankyou very much. --Jose77 (talk) 23:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

(In return, I can also help you translate your favourite articles into the Chinese, Japanese, or Minnan language)
 * Sorry but as an atheist I find it not in good taste for me to translate this. Good luck. --Stalfur (talk) 14:56, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Stalfur! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is an  Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Proposed deletion of Knattspyrnufélagið Fram

The article Knattspyrnufélagið Fram has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * This is clearly a work-in-progress by an editor who really doesn't seem to have grasped Wikipedia article formatting at all. Can I suggest it would be better to delete this and userfy a copy so the editor can practice on it until it's getting closer to main space quality - and direct the editor to have a look at WP:MOS?

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

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 in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). 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) 19:33, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Southern District (Botswana), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Good Hope and Musi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:26, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

maintenance templates are not "boilerplates"
I may have misunderstood. My interpretation was that individual sections or even statements should be tagged rather than the article. If I understood that correctly, then I applied tags more directly even though it disrupts the flow of the article more than the general template. However, if you were saying that there were enough references, that's not the case. The age of such a maintenance template is immaterial. Templates are placed on articles to help identify problems. The important thing is that the problem is resolved. It wasn't resolved when you removed the template so in the future, please take more care when removing templates like this. Also, it's not a boilerplate either, it adds hidden categories to the article and they help in addressing problem articles for editors who know where to look.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Icelandic names
I'm well aware of Icelandic patronyms, thanks. But why are you so bothered about this particular template? In every other Icelandic template, whether it be managers, national team squads, or top scorers, the Icelandic names are always referred to by their "surnames". Yes, it's not correct, but it's the done thing around here. APM (talk) 13:07, 25 November 2016 (UTC)AmorPatiturMoras
 * Then it is equally wrong there and needs to be fixed. --Stalfur (talk) 22:00, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Spare Change (food)
substub of questionable veracity from a user who specializes in abandoning substubs. I can't find any relevant reference, though I'll grant that "spare change" as a title makes it hard to weed out hits (particularly when "you can buy a burrito with your spare change" is both common and true).

Also could you please post links if you have them to the previous AFD noms of this page so that I know what's going on, normally the closing admin should (if there is no consensus or the consensus is to keep) leave a note on the talk page of the article so people can review previous discussions but it appears the closing admin forgot to do that.

 * Nobody has nominated Fried (webcomic) for deletion. Yet. But Hahnchen will, at some point. He has a personal vendetta against webcomics that aren't Penny Arcade or CTRL+ALT+DEL. He went for and successfully deleted two webcomic entries Rooms (webcomic) and Built for Comfort - the latter had rather a few Keep votes, but Hen's decision was to ignore them and delete it anyway. He has also admitted that he is "not a fan" of webcomics. He bases virtually his entire argument on the Alexa system (a system that has been proven to be about as reliable as a plumber's estimate). How long before he goes for Fried?

 * Rooms is part of a triumvirate - the Psycheverse - consisting of Rooms, Fried and Apathy. And if you declare war on one of us, as Hahnchen has done, then you declare war on all of us. This is why I "vandalised" the article (if you can really call it that) - I did not want to give Hahnchen the satisfaction of the NfD process which he is happy to begin but not quite so happy to follow by the book. --Squirminator2k 22:45, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Campion (1989 TV series)

Campion is a British television mystery drama first broadcast on the BBC on 22 January 1989. Each of the eight stories featured across the two series, broadcast in 1989 and 1990 respectively, are adapted from the Albert Campion mystery novels written by Margery Allingham. The series starred Peter Davison as Albert Campion, Brian Glover as his manservant Magersfontein Lugg and Andrew Burt as his policeman friend Stanislaus Oates.

Four novels were adapted for each series, each of which was originally broadcast as two separate hour-long episodes. Davison himself sang the title music for the first series; in the second series, it was replaced with an instrumental version. A Lagonda 16/80 featured extensively in the series. The car used in the series is now kept in Germany.

The complete series was released on DVD on 12 May 2008, distributed by Acorn Media UK.

Johann Amadeus von Thugut

Johann Amadeus Franz de Paula Freiherr von Thugut (24 May 1736 – 28 May 1818) was an Austrian diplomat.

Early life
He was born in Linz. His origin and his unusual name (literally "do good") have been the subject of some legends. One such legend was that the original form of his name was Thunichtgut, or Thenitguet ("do no good"), but that the name was altered to Thugut by Empress Maria Theresa. In reality, Thugut was the name of his great-grandfather, who came from Budweis in southern Bohemia. He was the legitimate son of Johann Thugut, an army paymaster, who married Eva Maria Mösbauer, daughter of a miller near Vienna. The paymaster, who died about 1760, left his widow and children in distress, and Maria Theresa took charge of them.

Constantinople
Johann Amadeus was sent to the school of Oriental languages. He entered the Austrian foreign office as an interpreter and was appointed dragoman to the embassy at Constantinople. In 1769 he was appointed chargé d'affaires, and in that capacity secured a grant of money and a promise of the territory of Little Wallachia from the Turks during the negotiations connected with the First Partition of Poland.

In 1771 he was appointed internuncio at Constantinople and was actively engaged, under the direction of Prince Kaunitz, in all the diplomacy of Austria in Turkey and Poland until he secured the cession of the Bukovina on 7 May 1775. During these years Thugut was engaged in a mean intrigue. His salary as dragoman was small, and his needs great. He therefore agreed to receive a pension of 13,000 livres, a brevet of lieutenant-colonel, and a promise of a safe refuge in case of necessity from the king of France, Louis XV. The condition on which the pension was granted was that he took advantage of his position as an Austrian official to render secret services to France. The only excuses to be made for him are that such hidden arrangements were not uncommon before and in his time, and that as a matter of fact he never did render France any real service, or betray his masters at Vienna. Yet the terror of discovery disturbed him at several periods of his life, and when Louis XV died in 1774 he showed a strong disposition to take refuge in France, and would have done so if Louis XVI would have given him a promise of employment. His pension was continued.

It seems to be tolerably certain that at a later period he made a clean breast to the Emperor Francis II. His services at Constantinople were approved by Prince Kaunitz, who may possibly have been informed of the arrangement with the French secret diplomatic fund. It is never safe to decide whether these treasons were single or double. When Thugut was appointed internuncio he was also ennobled, being raised to the Ritterstand. After 1775 he travelled in France and Italy, partly on diplomatic service.

Pre-Revolutionary period
In 1778 he was the agent through whom Maria Theresa entered into direct negotiations with Frederick the Great, in order to stop the Bavarian War. In 1780 he was Austrian envoy in Warsaw, but in 1783 he applied for leave and satisfied his hankering after France by living for four years in Paris.

It was in this time that his savings, made during his years of service at Constantinople, by means which would probably not bear investigation, were invested in France. Thugut became acquainted with many of the leaders in the French Revolution. From 1787 to 1789 he was minister at Naples, and showed great tact in managing the queen, Maria Carolina, a daughter of Maria Theresa. In 1790 he was sent by the Emperor Joseph II to Bucharest, nominally as commissioner with the hospodar of Wallachia, but in reality in order that he might open negotiations for peace with the Turks.

Revolutionary wars
Until 1792 he was much in France and Belgium, partly as a diplomatic agent, but largely because he was anxious to rescue his investments, which were ultimately lost. His personal grievances may have had some share in creating the hatred of the Revolution and the Jacobins, for which he was afterwards famous.

In 1792 he was associated with Mercy-Argenteau, formerly Austrian ambassador in France, as diplomatic agent at the headquarters of the allied army. The mismanagement of the invasion of France excited his anger. He came back to Vienna to report the facts to Francis II, to whom he presented a statement on 27 December. On 19 January 1793 he was appointed armée-diplomat at headquarters, largely, it is said, by the intrigues of Philip Cobenzl and Spielmann, who wished to have him out of the way. But he never went, for at this time Russia and Prussia annexed large parts of Poland. Austria, entangled in the war with France, was left empty-handed.

The emperor, dissatisfied with the ministers who had not prevented this misfortune, dismissed them, and after some delay Thugut was named "director of the foreign affairs of Austria" on 25 March 1793. When Prince Kaunitz died in the following year Thugut was appointed to "discharge the duties of the office of house, court, and state chancellor." His promotion to the foremost place in the Austrian administration met with much opposition, and is known to have been largely due to the empress Maria Theresa of Naples. The Austrian government was by tradition very aristocratic. The empress Maria Theresa, grandmother of Francis II, though she valued the services of Thugut, had consented with reluctance to make him Commander of the Order of St Stephen, and had only yielded to the urgent requests of Kaunitz and of her son Joseph II. She thought the promotion excessive for a man of his plebeian origin. The nobles, who thought that the great offices of state should go to themselves, were of the same opinion. Thugut, who had a large fund of vanity, resented their insolence, and did nothing to disarm their hostility.

He was unmarried, and he avoided all society. In the discharge of his duties he took counsel with nobody. All the confidential work of his department was done by himself with the help of two clerks he could trust, and he took all important papers directly to the emperor, keeping no copies in his own office. He had his own experience to teach him how easy it was to bribe the officials of Austria. The nobles, who regarded themselves with good cause as the supporters of the Crown, and who expected to be consulted, resented his indifference and secrecy as the arrogance of an upstart. They were his constant enemies and critics. A few of them who admired his abilities supported him on personal grounds, but with these exceptions Thugut had no friends in Austria. Out of it, he was commonly regarded as the representative of all that was most unscrupulous and self-seeking in the methods of the Austrian government. He had inherited from his master Prince Kaunitz the firm conviction that Prussia was the worst enemy of Austria. From him, too, he had learnt that the first duty of an Austrian minister was to be an increaser of the empire, even at the expense of allies, and that excuses for annexation were to be made when they could not be found. His hatred of France, and of the Revolution, was no doubt sincere. But while prepared to defend Europe from French aggression, it was with the implied intention that Austria should be rewarded for her exertions by increases of territory, and should be made the absolute mistress of Germany.

The history of his policy from 1793 to 1800 touches much of the history of Europe. The conflicting objects which he kept before him, resistance to French aggression on the west, and to Russian and Prussian aggressions on the east, and the pursuit of more territory for Austria, compelled him to divide his exertions and his forces. Thus in 1793–94 he recalled troops from the west to participate in a partition of Poland, thereby taking pressure off France, and doing much to smooth the way for her subsequent victories. Some of his actions cannot be described as other than criminal. He was certainly responsible for the murderous attack on the French envoys at Rastadt in April 1799. He may have intended that they should only be robbed, but he must be held responsible for the acts of his agents. So again he has to answer for the perverse policy of Austria in 1799 when Suvarov and the Russians were recalled from northern Italy for no visible reason except that Austria should be left in sole possession of the dominions of the king of Sardinia, with a good excuse for keeping them.

The correspondence of Joseph de Maistre shows how bitterly the continental allies of Austria resented her selfishness, and how firmly they were persuaded that she was fighting for her own hand. That Thugut believed that he was doing his duty, and that he was carrying on the traditional policy of Austria, may be true. Yet his methods were so extreme, and his attitude so provocative as to justify the judgment passed on him by Kaunitz namely, that he required the control of a strong hand if good results were to be obtained from his ability.

After the defeats of Austria in Italy in 1796–97 and the peace of Campo Formio, it became a fixed object with the French, and with a growing party in Austria who held him responsible for the disasters of the war, to secure the removal of Thugut. He found no support, except from the British government, which considered him, as a sure ally and had great influence at Vienna as paymaster of subsidies. The death of the empress Catherine of Russia deprived him of a friend at court.

End of career
During the campaigns of 1799 and 1800 Thugut was the advocate of war "to the knife". At the end he was kept in office only by the vigorous support of England. The battle of Hohenlinden on 3 December 1800 made his position untenable. He retired from public life, and left Vienna for Pressburg on 27 March 1801. At a later period he returned to Vienna and lived quietly on a pension of 7000 florins until his death on 28 May 1818.

Amatory fiction

Amatory fiction is a genre of British literature that became popular during the late 17th century and early 18th century, approximately 1660–1730. It was often spread throughout coteries, published while trying to remain true to the writer's vision without criticism. Amatory fiction predates, and in some ways predicts, the invention of the novel and is an early predecessor of the romance novel. Indeed, many themes of the contemporary romance novel were first explored in amatory fiction. The writing of amatory fiction work was dominated by women, and it was considered to have mainly female readers; but it is assumed that men read these novels as well. As its name implies, amatory fiction is preoccupied with sexual love and romance. Most of its works were short stories.

The three most prominent amatory fiction writers were: Eliza Haywood (who wrote Love in Excess; Or, The Fatal Enquiry and Fantomina: Or, Love in a Maze, as well as over 70 other published works); Delarivier Manley, (author of The Lost Lover and Almyna: or, The Arabian Vow. A Tragedy) and Aphra Behn (who wrote The History of the Nun and "To the Fair Clarinda, Who Made Love to Me, Imagined More than Woman", and one of her most popular works "The Disappointment", which is a tale about a sexual encounter, written from a females point of view, could possibly be about male impotence). Together, these writers were known as "the fair triumvirate of wit", a phrase coined by Rev. James Sterling, though their reputation for scandalous writing caused some to call them the "naughty triumvirate."

Themes of amatory fiction
Narrowly defined, amatory fiction challenges formulaic genre which typically depicts an innocent, trusting woman being deceived by a self-serving, lustful man, by reversing the gender specific roles. For example, in Fantomina, by Eliza Haywood, the nameless protagonist is a noble born woman who changes her appearance to seduce the male Beauplaisir numerous times. For the women of amatory fiction, love typically ends in misery.

A form of feminism
Authors of amatory fiction had a tendency to use their novellas as a commentary on women's roles in society, and how they were being treated. There are many instances where the use of sarcasm highlights the sentiment the author was trying to get across to the audience. Another popular, and similar, writing tactic was called swerve, which involved the author being sarcastic about how they were viewed to be inferior, as to not upset the male critics. These writers often detailed extramarital affairs, and promoted strong themes of scandal, and sexual promiscuity.

While an observer would immediately identify a focus on sentimental love and the erotic, there is an underlying motivation to present the woman in an entirely different light. Instead of sentimentality and the abundance of romantic elements, there is an identifiable desire to depict women who want fulfillment of their own sexual desire as opposed to merely serving the pleasure of men. For example, a writer of amatory fiction would create a female character who demands more from friendship and pursues personal satisfaction in her relationships. For a time, this was branded as sentimentality and romantic thinking. However, later years would recognize this as a way in which women started to break away from the oppressive tactics of male domination. There are those who also link amatory fiction to the concept of the female Bildungsroman, which promoted a female character's development "especially its interest in portraying a form of female power that is viable even in a society where women were allowed only limited control over their own lives."

Although amatory fiction was originally excluded from "rise of the novel" narratives, traditionally written by men, contemporary scholars conclude that these works are not merely precursors to the novel, but novels in their own right. These amatory works were some of the only places women could speak for themselves, express their feelings of oppression, and share their experiences.

Some works of amatory fiction were considered immoral by contemporary standards, and allowed their characters to commit scandalous love affairs without being "punished" based on themes of Christian, social, legal or other forms of poetic justice.

Talk:Amatory fiction

[Untitled]
This is a new article. Most of the information for this article came from "Sex, Lies, and Invisibility: Amatory Fiction from the Restoration to Mid-Century," written by Toni O'Shaughnessy Bowers. This article can be found in The Columbia History of the British Novel, edited by John Richetti.

142.150.17.243 (talk) 15:45, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I think this article neglects the satirical quality of amatory fiction. For example, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography describes Delarivier Manley's narrative publications as "anti-Whig satire veiled as romance." That doesn't sound like a 'precursor to the modern romance novel' to me.

142.150.17.243 (talk) 15:45, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Could be both. As Bowers says in the article you cite, "amatory fiction" is a pretty wide-ranging category. — scribbling  woman  13:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

"Swerve"
I would guess that this is a modern critical term, not 17th-century terminology... AnonMoos (talk) 03:30, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Kebra Nagast

Untitled
There were two different articles on this subject, each with a different spelling. For what it's worth, the source I have on hand, African Ark, spells this as "Kebra Nagast." -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:13, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * This book is circulating in two different translations, another goes by Nagast and another with Negast. First one is translated by E.A. Wallis Budge and later by Miguel F. Brooks.

 * There's also another book that, Fetha Negast - Law Of The Kings which most likely should be mentioned in conjuction of Kebra Negast - Glory Of The Kings — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rasjani~enwiki (talk • contribs) 21:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Rastafarianans
i dont believe rastas should be mentioned here they're beliefs are totally different than that of an ethiopians plus alot of ethiopians dont believe the kebra negast is the ultimate authority. i have no citations so i wont edit but i would appreciate it if someone else does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.194.163.146 (talk • contribs) 21:39, 28 August 2006

 * I disagree. The Rastafarians should not be ignored and the Kebra Negast (The Glory of the Kings) is perhaps second only to the Bible in their belief system. I found a copy of this book yesterday in Rasta Paradise in Liberty City, Miami, FL. - Brad Watson, Miami (talk) 10:49, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

 * The fact that these is even a debate about this shows that it is at least relevant. More specifically I would say Rastafarians should be mentioned here as this is a religious text and Rastas are a religious group. What should be considered relevant in an article on a religious text if not those who claim it as part of their culture?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:240:CC00:50:5422:D6F8:CDB8:875 (talk) 02:29, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

 * You've got an anonymous poster who never posted again and a blocked kook (if you saw his other posts you'd understand). What we would need is discussion by independent sources meeting WP:RS discussing their use of it. Doug Weller  talk 14:47, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Agrippa's translation of the Kebra Nagast
I have removed the following text from the article, in part because it is very implausible that Cornelius Agrippa the Alchemist not only obtained a copy of the Kebra Nagast before 1528 but was able to translate it from Ge'ez (which was unknown in Europe), but mostly because a search in online library catalogs (which included the Library of Congress & the British Library) failed to verify the existence of a copy of this book. --llywrch 08:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

"Among the most complete, and least known, translations of the Kebra Nagast, is the exhaustive work of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa Historia de las cosas de Etiopía (Toledo, 1528) -- a greatly amplified account. Agrippa was an alchemist, a physician, and expert in magical sciences and Kabala; he resided in the courts of Maximilian I and Charles V; eventually he suffered imprisonment in Grenoble by order of King Francis I of France, where he died."

"The Glory of the Kings" & publisher info
The Glory of the Kings - Brad Watson, Miami (talk) 10:54, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

 * There's absolutely no reason to play favorites with that publisher, especially since the work is public domain and there are quite a few public domain translations linked to it. Ian.thomson (talk) 14:09, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Ian Thomson(74=T20+H8+O+M13+S19+O+N14), it is a legitimate source, right? "I played no favorites with that publisher", I just added another legitimate source which is what scholars do. Let the record show that you seem to oppose/block me at every opportunity and with every excuse imaginable. This excuse is inexcusable! Therefore, you must be reported. (The rest of this dialogue will be found on http://7seals.yuku.com ) - Brad Watson, Miami (talk) 16:10, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I can't think of a good reason why we would use that source rather than Forgotten Books. It certainly seems promotional to me. And what's this "you must be reported" business? Dougweller (talk) 16:24, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I also can't think of a good reason to continue the discussion on your personal website. If you have something to say about maintaining or improving the article, say it here. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 16:39, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

 * For those unfamiliar with the OP, Brad Watson has done pretty much nothing but push fringe material, often based on an idiosyncratic numerology. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:35, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Improved wording of 1st Paragraph
I improved the wording of the first paragraph... The Kebra Nagast (var. Kebra Negast, Ge'ez ክብረ ነገሥት, kəbrä nägäst), or The Glory of the Kings, is an account written in Ge'ez of the origins of the Solomonic line of the Emperors of Ethiopia. The text, in its existing form, is at least 700 years old and is considered by many Ethiopian Christians and Rastafarians to be an inspired and a reliable work. It contains an account of how the Queen of Sheba/Queen Makeda of Ethiopia met King Solomon and about how the Ark of the Covenant came to Ethiopia with Menelik I (Menyelek). It also discusses the conversion of the Ethiopians from the worship of the Sun, Moon and stars to that of the "Lord God of Israel". As the Ethiopianist Edward Ullendorff explained in the 1967 Schweich Lectures, "The Kebra Nagast  is not merely a literary work, but it is the repository of Ethiopian national and religious feelings." - Brad Watson, Miami (talk) 16:19, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Question regarding weight
This is a work which seems to be, basically, foundational to Ethiopian Judaism and Ethiopian Christianity, but which has little if any support or high regard outside of Ethiopia. To quote The Sign and the Seal, by Graham Hancock, Touchstone, 1992, ISBN 0-671-86541-2 “Amongst the latter [the story of Solomon and Sheba] the oldest still surviving was contained in a thirteenth-century manuscript as the Kebra Nagast – which was greatly revered and which most Ethiopians believed to tell 'the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.'” But I can find little if any discussion of the idea in the Fahlbusch Encyclopedia of Christianity, first published by Brill, later translated and expanded by Eerdman's, which is considered both one of the most authoritative and lengthy reference works on Christianity out there.

How should we deal with content related to this topic in articles other than those regarding broader Christianity and Judaism, not just specifically its Ethiopian forms? John Carter (talk) 18:22, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

 * You are quite mistaken in your pronouncement that this "has little if any support or high regard outside of Ethiopia." It also has wide support among the Rastafari movement around the world.  So unless you are suggesting that these views as well as Ethiopian's views of their own history be discounted as illegitimate, what is your point? Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 18:30, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

 * I don't understand your objection here, John. Are you saying that the Kebra Nagast is not notable, & that this article should be deleted? Quite obviously this subject is notable because it expounds the religious & political ideology of traditional Ethiopian thought. (Til Eulenspiegel's point about this document's importance to Rastafari thought simply offers another point of notability.) If you are concerned that it is not the subject of the book you cite, well, Western reference works have often done a poor job of covering topics relating to Ethiopia, let alone Africa. For instance, the Funk and Wagnall's Dictionary of Folklore, Myth & Legend, considered an authoritative work in its field, does a surprisingly abysmally poor job of covering Ethiopian topics. All of this depends on a point in WP:NOTE I can't find at the moment, but has been cited in the past concerning notability in science, technology, & mathematics: if a topic is notable in a given subject, then it is satisfies the notability requirement. An example would be Horatio Alger: because his writings are important to understanding American culture & ideology, despite the fact he is of limited importance to the rest of the world, he is notable. -- llywrch (talk) 18:04, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Acknowledging the Rasta support as well, which I guess I forgot to mention, the question here is not so much about this article per se, but about how much weight to give material about it in other articles. The question was really more in terms of how much weight to give material related to this subject in other articles dealing with Old Testament figures like Moses and Solomon in articles specifically about them. There never were any questions about the notable of this article per se, which is clearly established, but rather about the relative weight to be given it in other articles, dealing with topics of rather broader religious topics, like Moses and Solomon, and how much weight to give material related to this topic in those articles. John Carter (talk) 18:15, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

 * I just looked at them, and Solomon looks like it has the appropriate weight and impartiality currently. I haven't noticed any attempt to introduce this work into Moses, and it generally is not used as one of the primary sources for him, did you have some relevant addition there you had in mind? Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 23:51, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

What is the etymology of Kebra Nagast
What is the source of the etymology of the term Kebra Nagast because i understand this term as "Cobra Snake", a reptilian (Nagas; Vedic), Isis(Isida) worship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.165.118.168 (talk • contribs)

 * I can assure you that has nothing to do with the etymology (you know how sometimes words in unrelated languages sound similar, it's incredibly easy to create false etymologies that way...) The name of the book in Ge'ez means only "Glory of Kings" and uses the South Semitic roots k-b-r, glory, honor, and n-g-s, king / to rule, govern. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 13:37, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Ow, ow, ow, "Cobra snake" just makes my head hurt. The only way that suggestion could begin to make sense is if Ethiopia, East Africa, or the whole Middle East didn't have its own languages.  I could begin to understand looking for an Arabic etymology, or maybe even Hausa or even Khoi-San, but going all the way to India?  What?  Ian.thomson (talk) 23:01, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Not to mention, as I'm informed by wikt:cobra, that word comes from Latin. There is a Semitic root naHash meaning snake but it is not the same gloss as nagast, kings (actually negest is more accurate for pronunciation) and anyway South Semitic including Geez uses naHash to mean "brass, bronze" instead of snake! Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 23:38, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Historical vs Inspired
To answer your question, I am pointing you to the official website of the Ethiopian Tewahedo Church in English http://www.ethiopianorthodox.org/english/canonical/books.html You will see the books considered "canonical" or part of the "inspired by God" at sections 1 and 2. The books considered "Historical" begin on section 7 and include "the Honor of Kings" (English translation of the Kebre Negast). The book is and always has been considered an historic book but NEVER considered "inspired" (i.e. by God) in the sense that you wrote, as the Ethiopian Orthodox church takes the concept very seriously. No Ethiopian Orthodox priest or deacon will ever say this, as the "inspired by God" books are all very clearly in the canon. Like I said, if you want to designate it as inspired to Rastafarians then go ahead as I cannot speak to that, but you cannot put the two religions together on this point.Trinacrialucente (talk) 23:59, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

http://www.ethiopianorthodox.org/english/canonical/books.html

 * I should point out that ethiopianorthodox.org appears not to be the official website of the Ethiopian Tewahedo Church. It ostensibly reprints official church material, but the website itself does not appear to be offically affiliated with the church. Please see WP:RSN/Archive 179#Ethiopianorthodox.org. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 18:58, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Spöl

The Spöl or Aqua Granda is an Italian and Swiss river and is a right tributary of the Inn.

The source of the river is near Corno di Campo in the Province of Sondrio in Italy. It flows northeast past Livigno and into Lago di Livigno. It exits the lake at the Italian/Swiss border and flows northwest through Parc Naziunal Svizzer before emptying into the Inn near Zernez.

Despite rising in Italy, the river is a tributary of the Inn, and the Danube, rather than of the Po. In other words, its valley is on the northern side of the Alpine watershed. In this area geographical and political boundaries do not coincide.

Due to an international treaty, an artificial lake, Lago di Livigno, was created by Engadiner Kraftwerke in the 1960s, with a dam on the border. Despite indemnisation, not all inhabitants were willing to leave this part of the valley.

The reservoir has a capacity of 164 e6m3. Its minimum and maximum water levels above sea level are at 1700 m and 1805 m respectively. Since its construction, this lake had been off-limits for any activity, such as wind-surfing or rowing, until the summer of 2005, when Italy's National Rowing team was authorized to train on the lake.

The same international treaty allowed another electricity company to catch the waters of Aqua Granda and other tributaries above a certain elevation and to transport it through a tunnel to the artificial lakes of Cancano, in Val Fraele, on the other side of the watershed. This has decreased the water level on the river dramatically, with some parts of it left without water, causing strong but ineffective protests by the local population.

Nowadays this river is popular for fishing, virtually the only other use which can be made of it.

Jim Ringo

James Stephen Ringo (November 21, 1931 – November 19, 2007) was an American professional football player and coach in the National Football League (NFL). He played 15 years as a center for the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles, earning 10 Pro Bowl selections. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1981.

Ringo played college football for the Syracuse Orangemen (now Orange) and was selected in the seventh round of the 1953 NFL draft. A member of two NFL championship teams with Green Bay, Ringo was named to the NFL 1960s All-Decade Team, and was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame as well as the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame.

Early years
Born in Orange, New Jersey, Ringo grew up in Phillipsburg and played high school football at Phillipsburg High School and college football at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York.

Green Bay Packers
The Packers selected him in the seventh round of the 1953 NFL draft. Ringo was considered vastly undersized at 211 lb.

However, he used his outstanding quickness and excellent technique to build a 15-year NFL career, the first 11 with the Packers, as one of the game's best centers.

Ringo played for four different head coaches in Green Bay. In his first six seasons under Gene Ronzani (1953), Lisle Blackbourn (1954–57), and Ray "Scooter" McLean (1958), the Packers went 20–50–2 (.280).

But Vince Lombardi's arrival in January 1959 changed everything, and for Ringo's next five seasons, the Packers went 50–15–1 (.760) and 2–1 in championship games. Ringo certainly knew individual success before the Lombardi era—attending his first of seven straight Pro Bowls in 1957—but he flourished under the coaching legend, earning consensus All-Pro honors from 1959 to 1963.

Ringo's speed and mobility made him an ideal blocker for Lombardi's famous Packers sweep, and all but one of running back Jim Taylor's five 1,000-yard seasons—including his then-record 1,474-yard effort in 1962—came with Ringo at center. In 1974, he was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.

Philadelphia Eagles
Ringo was a member of the Packers' NFL Championship teams of 1961 and 1962 but was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in May 1964. The details of Ringo's trade have been the subject of speculation. In his memoir, Jerry Kramer, who played guard next to Ringo from 1958 to 1963, recounted the story that following the 1963 season, Ringo showed up in Lombardi's office with an agent in tow and looking to negotiate a raise. Lombardi, according to this account, was so angered that he excused himself for five minutes only to return and announce that he had traded Ringo to the Eagles. Over the years, it has been suggested that that story is more fiction than fact. In reality, Lombardi had probably been negotiating a trade for some time. The Packers also traded fullback Earl Gros and received in return linebacker Lee Roy Caffey and a first-round draft pick, which was used to select halfback-punter Donny Anderson as a "future pick" in 1965. Still, the legend persists. Ringo, who played 126 consecutive games for the Packers from 1954–63, finished out his career with the Eagles, attending three more Pro Bowls and retiring after the 1967 season.

Coaching
He went on to work on the coaching staffs of the Los Angeles Rams, Buffalo Bills (two separate engagements), Chicago Bears, New England Patriots, and New York Jets, and he served as Bills head coach after the resignation of Lou Saban in 1976, posting a 3–20 record. He is best known as a coach for creating the dominant Bills offensive line of the early- to mid-1970s called the Electric Company, which supported running back O. J. Simpson. He returned to Buffalo as the Bills offensive coordinator and offensive line coach in 1985. He held the positions until his retirement after the 1988 season.

Book of generations

The Book of generations is a hypothesized Hebrew text which lies behind two passages in the Book of Genesis. The text is no longer extant, but according to the hypothesis, portions of it survive as part of Genesis. Frank Moore Cross demonstrated that the text could be separated from the other sources, which are substantially larger in comparison.

Description
The only surviving portions of the Book of Generations consist of the Generations of Adam (Genesis 5:1-32) and the descendants from Shem (11:10-26), comprising an unbroken lineage from Adam to Abraham. It may, however, have once have extended as far as Jacob.

Most scholars believe that the Book of Generations came from the Priestly source ("P"), although some have speculated that the Book of Generations itself had been borrowed in some form from an older, already extant source.
