Talk:Mary Davies (mezzo-soprano)

message: This is not for inclusion in the Wikipedia entry, but I hope will lead to more information about Dr.Davies.  Please will those who wrote/contributed to the entry on Mary Davies please contact me?  She was my third cousin, the grand-daughter of my great-great-great- grandfather.    Although I have a wealth of family details and through another relative have recently found photos of her and of a portrait bust executed by her sculptor father (my great-great uncle William), I only recently discovered her eminence in Welsh music.  I would very much like to know more.
My email address is: john.r.davies@btinternet.com.
Thank you
John Davies

message: What is the "Welsh National School of Music" that Mary Davies helped to found? I have checked the cited source (her Guardian obituary) which says "She did remarkably good work in helping to establish the Welsh National School of Music and in the collection of Welsh folk songs." I initially though that this meant the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, but that was established in 1949 and Davies died in 1930. The Cardiff University School of Music was founded shortly after the The University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire opened in 1883. If Davies did help to establish a national music school then I would expect this to be mentioned in her article in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography. Searching with Google for "Welsh National School of Music" gives nothing useful. I can only conclude that The Guardian was using "school" in the sense of "a local group united by a similar method or style" (from OED), as in Venetian School (music).

I've created a page for Woodrow Wilson Junior College, which lists options for the school in the Philippines and the one in Chicago. I then created redirects to the current school pages. Your hypertext is split between Woodrow Wilson and Junior College, so the full name of the junior college wasn't coming up in a search of titles of Wiki articles. I think we're good now.

Voodoo Debugging
Both hardware support and software testing can benefit from the skill of Voodoo Debugging. It's very simple. When a problem arises, start changing things randomly. Occasionally re-test the problem, and as soon as it goes away, the last thing you changed becomes the cure. Repeat the last fix on every computer you can find, including and especially ones that never had the problem in the first place. This magic can be aided by chanting such mantras as "I always change this setting in the BIOS and it seems to help"

Talk:Mayra Andrade

message: I've removed the two “by whom?”s in the lead because I think they speak to a larger problem the editors have with these descriptions (based on the edit summaries) and not so much with the actual attribution of those phrases – as both of those phrases are sourced at the end of that sentence (and now even more so, as I’ve added two sources to that sentence – one for each “by whom?”). Whether or not they are valid, the comparisons to Cesaria Evora are widespread. Similarly, whether or not her specialty is morna, that's the genre that comes up the most when sources discuss her music. Look at the reviews and profiles, and you will see that critics consistently discuss her work in the context of morna and Cesaria Evora. If editors disagree with these characterizations, please find better ones (I would personally love to see this article expanded with more information on her style and range of genres), but this is what the sources say about her. -- Irn (talk) 15:47, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Walter Frentz; photographed Hitler's inner circle; at 96
By Geir Moulson, Associated Press  |  July 28, 2004
BERLIN -- Walter Frentz, who followed Adolf Hitler's inner circle as a Luftwaffe cameraman during the final years of World War II and recorded some of the Nazi era's key events on film, died July 6 in the southern town of eberlingen. He was 96.
Mr. Frentz started in film with a 1931 feature about kayaking in Austria and Yugoslavia. Through Speer, Mr. Frentz met Leni Riefenstahl, who made masterful propaganda films for the Nazis, including "Triumph of the Will" in 1934. Mr. Frentz worked with Riefenstahl on that film and on "Victory of the Faith" in 1933, often using a hand-held camera.
In 1936, he worked with her again on "Olympia," Riefenstahl's famed meditation on muscle and movement at the Berlin Olympics.
After Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Mr. Frentz recorded the victory parade in Warsaw. He also filmed Hitler entering Paris when France capitulated.
In 1941, he was assigned to Hitler's Wolf's Lair bunker in East Prussia, staying with the Nazi leader's inner circle until shortly before the end of the war.
In March 1945, Mr. Frentz took the last pictures of Hitler before the dictator killed himself in his Berlin bunker on April 30.
