Talk:Israhel van Meckenem

message: According to the German Wikipedia version of this page, the "van Meckenem" family gets its name from the town of "Meckenheim" in Rhineland, near Bonn.  "Van Meckenem" would simply be the Low German version of "von Meckenheim".  The German Wikipedia states this as a fact (both in the article "Israhel van Meckenem" and in the article "Meckenheim (Rheinland)").  So, at least in the German-speaking Wikipedia, there is no question as to where Israhel van Meckenem was born.  I'm not sure how this jives with the uncertainty expressed by the English Wikipedia article.  25 Nov 2006.
- Bear in mind the German version is written by Germans! No doubt when the Dutch get round to doing a version they will bring in Mechelen (Malines) in Brabant and/or Megchelen, now in Germany but only just. Van is/was not common as Low German for von, I gather. There do no seem to be any other refs to Meckenheim as Meckenem. 
It is a fact that a German art historian called Max Geisberg was happy with Meckenheim; beyond that there are no facts.
All in Huchison ref., supported by others. 
Having seen the 2 articles, which did you think looked the more thorough?

message: Once again, you are changing the meaning without (I imagine) any particular knowledge of the subject, using unidiomatic English (try "contemporaneous" in your style guides) & so on.
I think I have been very reasonable so far, but if this continues will take matters further. Johnbod 23:27, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The definitions of contemporaneous on the Web are, occurring in the same period of time being discussed, but the word it replaces, "contemporary", indicates "occurring in the current time period". A simple check on Google definitions will clarify that. I doubt that the choice of words is in error, please state how changing one word in an edit to something that correctly expresses the thought intended, could be the basis for a complaint. Again, this is related to an article and I will address edits on those pages. Please stop leaving notices that are related to editing articles on my personal page and let's stick to editing, I have no interest in a conflict with you, especially when you seem to intend to make it personal.  83d40m November 25, 2006
:: my dictionaries give virtually identical definitions (like the first you quote), but say that contemporaneous is normally followed by "with", which you do not do, so I will change it back. Whatever the dictionaries say, your change is much less idiomatic.
