Magic Flute

No, I thought it was Barneygumble who was raising a straw man, and being sarcastic in knocking it down. That's why I chose his examples. Septentrionalis 23:25, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Richard II

Thanks, Teodorico; that was an excellent input. Do you think it could be used as the basis of a same-sex relationships in the middle ages? Does wikipedia need such an article? Probably. Many thanks. --Tagishsimon (talk)

Danse Macabre

Hi! You changed my translation twice to kingdom, which is wrong. You probably confuse it with Rîche. Instead Reyen is a variant of Middle High German reien or reyge and corresponds to modern High German Reigen, which means "round dance", so Death commands the mortals to join him in a round dance. That's why the dance is macabre. See Grimm's Dictionary [[1]] Teodorico 15:34, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Apologies. For once, I'm caught out on confusing languages (actually, I was presuming the Latin root found in the English "reign"). This article is often edited by the truly clueless and/or vandalistic, and I've had a tendency to run through it reverting a lot of miscellaneous screw-ups, but in this case I appear to be the screw-up. My apologies. - Jmabel | Talk 17:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
