Word count
Sca, I have removed my last and rather lengthy comment at ‎https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/File:The_Scream_Pastel.jpg because of your word count note. Please forgive me if I have broken some unwritten or written rule. I am really a newbie there.

I don't mean to be creating argument. I really set out to help because of the recent prickly atmosphere at FPC. Alas, this now appears that no one will notice or do anything to restore some peace to the process. If you desire, I can remove some of my other comments, although the comments will then make no sense. Although I was certainly mistreated and now Coats has made fun of me in the latest submission re: ducks; I really do not expect any apology or admin oversite. I think Hafspajen is sick of it all and actually I edit Wikipedia to keep healthy cognitively and mentally (laughable as that may sound) and I can't get overwrought emotionally my own self.

Since it seems a futile undertaking to try to amend an unhappy atmosphere at FPC, I probably will not continue to participate. Please let me know if you want me to trim my comments further. All the best and thanks. Fylbecatulous talk 14:33, 28 July 2014 (UTC)


 * No,, please put them back were they were, you comments were excellent. Sca is just trying to help by his humorous comments, trying to point out how silly and long those nominations became - because of - you know what. I will be gone now for a while - soon -, just trying to finish my projects, but not start any new. I offended somebody when I was angry myself, may God forgive me to make the same stupid thing like others do towards me, to poor Belle who never did me anything wrong. And I think Sca is right, nobody seems to notice anything. Yes, there is an  unhappy atmosphere at FPC, and Sca really set out to help - you both do, bless you all. Hafspajen (talk) 14:48, 28 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok, Hafs. For you I will replace my comments. We all just need to feel better and I will do anything, Hafs, to give you a happy moment. So my comments will go back in. Thank you for thinking them to be meaningful. Face-smile.svg. Cheers, Fylbecatulous talk 15:13, 28 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Hafs for reverting for me. Everything and more gratitude.  Fylbecatulous talk 15:17, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Sca, sorry. I did not remove your word count statement. I only removed my latest long comment, because of your note. I am actualy quite obedient to reasonable editors, of which you are one. Regards, Fylbecatulous talk 15:07, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

I suppose, if two people who know photography suggest something, you should at least try an alternative. I've uploaded one. I may be overreacting from one too many people seeing one of my restorations of sepia toned images, and immediately desaturating it and suggesting it as an alt, which makes you somewhat resistant. That may be an overreaction in this case, given photographic prints' contrast can be adjusted readily by changing development time from the negative. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:59, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I like these pictures. All my German knowledge I have cames from a village like this, where I was sent one summer to learn German. I probably learned a German with much accent ... I think. Loved the cows coming home in the evening, loved the stalls, the fresh milk still warm from the cow, the cats, dogs, the apple trees, the chickens ... I was a real paradise.

 * Could you please check out where he was born? Article say both Zurich and Slaugfdrh -something. Hafspajen (talk) 14:25, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Can you think about any interesting facts to mention for the DYK, - since as it is, it was expanded 5x now, so it is possible to nominate. Did you knew that ...... Rudolf Koller...... ?    Except the fact how he died, because then we better let  nominate it - he is collecting that kind of stuff ...       Hafspajen (talk) 15:02, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Born in Zürich, not Schaffhausen. I couldn't find any name for his father, who is ID'd in Ger. article as a Metzger und Gastwirt. His mother, Maria Ursula Forster, is mentioned by name (she was from Schaffhausen), but she doesn't turn up again, so I left her name out. Fixed.


 * Well, interesting facts: It struck me that he was friends with Gottfried Keller, a novelist famous in German-speaking lands for his novel Der grüne Heinrich (Green Henry), which I've read in German (in Fraktur, no less) — and that he's buried near Keller, too, probably as he wished; Koller died 15 years after Keller. Sca (talk) 15:24, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Ha, there we go again, gvraveyards .. sigh. I mean ... well, some fact that we can put in the article that makes people curious, wanting to check out this article - like .... the cow he painted eate his canvas ... or he was engaged in a relationship with his brother's wife ... or never worked on mondays ... or he liked lemons with beer ... or he invented the Hamburger .. or .. his painting was sold for 10 million dollars .. or well, you get it now ... Hafspajen (talk) 15:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * To be honest, Hafs, I didn't find Koller's story all that interesting. He studied hard, worked hard, and was successful and honored by his community. No running off with the maid or challenging a rival to a duel. No shocking paintings of ladies au naturel. (And, BTW, I'd never heard of him before you 'discovered' him. Keller OTOH is famous — in Ger. lit. anyway.) Sorry. Sca (talk) 16:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes but I forget what it was about. Sca (talk) 21:04, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Now you sound like me ... It is about getting the article on main page, among Did you know ... Ans since you did't nominated many - or none - you might as well nominate the Koller article - since it has been expanded 5X since written... Hafspajen (talk) 21:11, 16 September 2014 (UTC).
 * I always have problems with the nomination template. Doh! Sca (talk) 21:19, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

, look here, Hafspajen (talk) 18:01, 17 September 2014 (UTC) THAN THERE IS OXFORD ART LINE: 'Koller on Oxford Art Online (you need a subscription for it though). It reads: Koller, (Johann) Rudolf (b Zurich, 21 May 1828; d Zurich, 5 Jan 1905). Swiss painter. He studied in Zurich under such artists as Johann Jakob Ulrich before going to Düsseldorf in 1846 to work with Carl Ferdinand Sohn. In 1847 he was in Paris where he shared a studio with Arnold Böcklin. Two years later he went to Munich where he worked with a group of artists called the ‘Schweizer’, whose leader was Johann Gottfried Steffan. He returned to Zurich in 1851 and painted mainly pastoral landscapes (e.g. Waterfall near Zurich, c. 1851; Zurich, Graph. Samml. Eidgenöss. Tech. Hochsch.) evoking prevailing romantic sensibilities. His later paintings combine realist subject-matter with a carefully arranged and executed classical composition. He frequently chose rustic farm scenes containing animals, whom he believed represented a dignified and pure image of nature that was to be treated with respect. He was often considered to be the 19th-century counterpart to Paulus Potter whose paintings of animals were emulated at the time. His works are similar to those of Rosa Bonheur, as seen in Cows in the Roman Countryside (1869; Berne, Kstmus.). His most celebrated painting is the St Gotthard Mailcoach (1873; Zurich, Ksthaus), which depicts a coach at full speed attempting to stop suddenly for a herd of cattle obstructing the narrow road. After 1870, problems with his eyesight forced him to paint less, yet even late in life he was still capable of producing such lyrical paintings as Horses at the Drinking Fountain (1890; Le Locle, Mus. B.-A.). With Frank Buchser and Gustave Castan he worked diligently to advance the status of Swiss painters in the second half of the 19th century. So you can probably use it to reference some of the information you already have in the article? The details for the reference are: William Hauptman. "Koller, Rudolf." Grove Art Online.

 * This business about the St. Gotthard Pass, St. Gotthard Tunnel, Alfred Escher and the Swiss Northeastern Railway is getting too complicated to explain succinctly in our brief article. Ref. No. 4 above claims "Koller’s famous painting, The Gotthard Post, is an allegory of the speed of the modern and the tension between old and new," but that assertion has nothing to do with Escher or the tunnel, which made the post road superfluous. Ref. No. 3 is more in line with our article.


 * Ref. No. 7 seems to be mainly an awkward computer trans. of the German WP article and contains such nonsensical sentences as, "This looked at the adoption of the industrialist and railway pioneer Alfred Escher a gift." (This from a part of the German article that confused me initially.)


 * Ref. No. 2 takes a somewhat different tack, being couched in terms of the 19th C. Swiss art scene, but it's from a commercial art gallery, anonymous and unreferenced. No. 8 is essentially an ad for tourist buses. And No. 1 is from a Florida-based commercial website offering equestrian products and tony properties to the horsey set.


 * None of these provides what I can identify as quotable scholarship on the subject of Herr Koller. Perhaps some of the verbiage from Oxford Art Online could be inserted, although I don't see it as particularly illuminating to the story of Rudolf Koller. Expanding the article significantly would require work by an art historian familiar with the genre and niche of animal painting. I for one am simply not qualified to write knowledgeably about this topic. although I'm happy to provide a translation from German WP when one is desired. Sca (talk) 22:15, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Sorry don't see anything — what am I supposed to see where? Doh! Sca (talk) 21:11, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Have you noticed how the box is turning red when I mention you name(not here, here is not working, this is your page...)Hafspajen (talk) 15:57, 24 September 2014 (UTC)


 * WHAT box, WHERE? Sca (talk) 18:07, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Nothing is RED? or ORANGE? maybe is missing... Hafspajen (talk) 20:33, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * OH! You mean up at the very TOP of the page? Yes, there's a white number there (99) in a red box. I thought the 99 meant the number of messages I had on my talk page, but I see it's the number of times sca has been mentioned by someone else somewhere else. So, finally, I GET IT! Doh! Sorry to be so obtuse.
 * Now, this only works if the person mentioning me pings me? Sca (talk) 20:49, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
