The Kefermarkt altarpiece is a richly decorated wooden altarpiece in the Late Gothic style in the parish church of Kefermarkt in Upper Austria. Commissioned by the knight Christoph von Zelking, it was completed around 1497. Saints Peter, Wolfgang and Christopher are depicted in the central section. The wing panels depict scenes from the life of Mary, and the altarpiece also has an intricate superstructure and two side figures of Saints George and Florian. The identity of its maker, known by the notname Master of the Kefermarkt Altarpiece, is unknown, but at least two skilled sculptors appear to have created the main statuary. Throughout the centuries, it has been altered and lost its original paint and gilding; a major restoration was undertaken in the 19th century under the direction of Adalbert Stifter. The altarpiece has been described as "one of the greatest achievements in late-medieval sculpture in the German-speaking area". This image shows the upper-left wing panel of the Kefermarkt altarpiece, depicting the birth of Christ. Mary is portrayed kneeling in devotion in front of the infant Christ, who is placed before her on a fold of her dress. On the other side, Joseph is also kneeling in front of the child. Above Mary, on the roof of the building behind them, are two angels playing a mandolin and a lute. The annunciation to the shepherds can be seen in the background.Sculpture credit: Master of the Kefermarkt Altarpiece; photographed by Uoaei1

ip attacker
Hi. regarding your block of this ip , he appears to have resurrected from another ip from the same domain and is attacking my user page .
This has been going on for a while:
I was confused as to who he culd be. Then he made an interesting post to Sir Nick's talk page:
leading to the conclusion that these ips are all the sock of banned user Mustafa Bhai. Rumpelstiltskin223 22:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

accusations
What are you accusing me of? A troll(or more correctly a sock/meatpuppet) starts destoying the work of 3 descent editors and you accuse me.If you dont like my edits then we should get a neutral admin to deal with this.I was enraged by the comments you made on the Pakistan discussion page.If you don't like my style of editing then,let's ask a neutral party to intervine.
Blocking every single user you disagree with will only bring more attention to this issue in my opinion.Nadirali نادرالی
It is incivil of you to accuse me so randomly and without basing your accusations on any evidence.Please see wikipedia no personal attacks policy.Comment on my edits not on my ethnicity or personality.Nadirali نادرالی
Your block of User:MinaretDk
Hello. I noticed you blocked MinaretDk for 48 hours and did not leave a detailed rationale for your block, or even a notice of it, on that user's talk page. Please do so now. It is unreasonable to expect administrators considering his or her unblock requests to wade through all of their recent contributions to find the specific incidents/behaviour for which you executed the block. If you cannot provide such a rationale, then I would be inclined to unblock them. - Mark 04:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Thank you. - Mark 04:57, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Conundrum
Hi there,
I am almost at the end of my tether with bickering on the Talk:India page. A number of editors, some well-intentioned (like user:Indianstar and user:AJ-India) and others of uncertain intentions (like user:Sarvagnya) would like to add (or, have already added and which I then reverted) various portions of text to many sections of the India page, an FA. These proposed edits, all initially made by user:Indianstar are not minor (i.e. they are of the size of a small paragraph), and they have not been discussed before. I have tried to start discussion going on the Talk:India page, for example: see Example1, or Example2 (the title of this section has been changed retroactively by user:Sarvagnya from "History section" to "Fowler's High-handed Reverts"). The problem as I see it is that the edits are either controversial, or cover old ground, or too listy. I get the feeling that these editors are not really interested in discussing the issues because they keep accusing me of "making a mountain out of molehill" or semantic obfuscation. Their view is that their edits are common-sense and 1 or 2 KB or text is no problem, and that no time should be wasted on discussion, especially elaborate discussion like mine. Here is an example of some responses: Example3 and Example4. In the background, user:Sarvagnya seems to be egging on the other editors to go ahead and add the reverted material again before the discussion is complete. I am trying to hold on until Nichalp returns from his vacation on February 4, but in light of user:Sarvagnya's unmitigated hostility, I am concerned. She/He has used uncivil language consistently. Here are some examples of language directed at me:
- "Will someone do me a favour by drilling it into his skull ..."
- "hiding behind an admin to justify juvenile editing practices ..."
- "Just improve it. Dammit."
In spite of my civil reminder to desist (see here), she/he has continued with his uncivil language and earlier today she/he changed the title of the discussion section retroactively from "History Section" to "Fowler's High-handed Reverts". (The discussion section incidentally had been started by me.) I am trying to keep my cool, but it is frustrating to hear such language consistently, when most of me, judging from the level sophistication of her/his writing, is itching to say something. Any advice will be welcome. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 20:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Wow! Another mischevous act of misrepresentation of my stand by Fowler. Anyway first things first. Talking of decorum or the lack of it on my part that Fowler seems to be harping on, may I remind him that he has called me a vandal for no reason other than his own ignorance of the rules.
His condescending edit summaries, couple of which I have pointed out on the India talk page, smack of unbridled contempt for the efforts of other editors; not to mention his ignorance of several WP policies.
And indulging in revert after revert after revert without any explanation whatsoever is like dealing a slap on the other editors face with scant respect for his/her efforts. Forget simple reverts, for someone who acts so very 'holier-than-thou', did he even bother to let people know before he rolled the page back two months?!
Its one thing to play to a gallery of admins and another to not lose sight of objectivity. He royally betrays his misplaced priorities at every step. He seems not to or not willing to understand that issues like style, formatting, grammar, article size etc., are NOT excuses to blank content or roll pages back two months!!
For example, there was this content about G4 and India's bid for a permanent seat that Indianstar had added. A bid for the permanent seat is an extremely significant and notable fact about India as is its space programme and its nuclear programme. So says commonsense. But not Fowler. He simply goes ahead and blanks it out offering no explanation other than another of his ill informed edit summaries(rv content that was added without discussion!!).
And when other editors decide that they will brook no more nonsense and demand an explanation of him, he comes back and sheepishly says that Indianstar's version was too wordy and that he'd have no objection if the same was mentioned more concisely as they've done on Japan!! So in effect, he has blanked out(vandalised??) content which even he agrees with, simply because the fact wasnt worded well??! What does he think he's doing! Has he even heard of cpedit?
And it is not like I am taking exception to his reverts because I have some sinister agenda. I've observed his editing behaviour since the last two months. And I see a disturbing and disruptive pattern and that is precisely why I've said what I've said. Its not like I am against every revert he does. Some, like the one he did today(the Afghan historian one) are certainly justified. But such ones are very few and far between considering that he has dozens of reverts to his name (counting just just this one article) in the short time that he's been on WP.
Sample the facts that he's blanked out:
- India's bid for a permanent seat
- India's nuclear capability
- India's successful space programme. and many many many more.
Explanations offered : NONE. None until fellow editors took him to task. Sarvagnya 21:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Just saw your message. Fowler's high handed reverts, blanking of content and unilateral rollbacks have been as uncivil and unprofessional as it gets. And can you please point out where I've edit warred with him. If anything, I've been patient and not undone even one of his reverts even though I take serious exception to it. Thanks. Sarvagnya 21:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- There has been an RfC of sorts on Talk:India for the last couple of days and both Indianstar and AJ India have disapproved of Fowler's editing habits. Both have indicated that Fowler merely keeps splitting hairs and making mountains out of molehills. Chanakyathegreat has also in the recent past disapproved of Fowler's blanking/reverts. I am sure there are others too. Many I guess are too tired to even comment there. An article can be optimised for prose, size etc., only after content has been added not before. Blanking out legitimate content simply because it is too wordy or has bad grammar is disruption if not vandalism. Sarvagnya 21:27, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- I pray that you not lose sight of the real issue while focusing on my 'incivility'. Apart from the couple of "dammit"s, I've been very sane and civil throughout. And his edit summaries that sound like "hey you!.. i trashing your content coz you didnt discuss this ahead of time.." are extremely uncivil. Far worse than civility issues, his editing habits are extremely disruptive. Even Indianstar made the observation that thanks to Fowler, hardly any productive editing has taken place on the article in the past couple of months. Sarvagnya 21:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- I surely cant be faulted for being incivil to a vandal(if that is what WP calls someone who blanks legitimate content like Fowler) or a disruptive user. If anything, I've been kind to fault by not slapping him with {test} tags for vandalism and such. Sarvagnya 21:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
