colors on the map

[edit]

The text near the image talks of green yellow and pink. I only see white and yellow. DavidRF (talk) 22:37, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also see white and yellow but only when I tilt my screen at a bad angle. What would you suggest doing here? Thanks, Opus33 (talk) 15:14, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. Checking here at work, it looks fine on one of my monitors, but the colors are really faded on the other. At home, its just the yellow and white. I didn't realize it was a monitor or perhaps graphics card issue. (I had thought perhaps the image got swapped out and the caption didn't get updated). Anyhow, not sure if there is anything to do unless a png-color expert knows how to make the colors more robust so they show up on a higher percentage of monitors. Noting the issue here is action enough I suppose. DavidRF (talk) 15:32, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture embedding scheme

[edit]

FYI -- I just switched to this scheme which I found here: Wikipedia:How_to_fix_bunched-up_edit_links#Example_3. It looks easier to maintain, keeps the images in the right column and doesn't bunch up the section-edit links. Feel free to switch it back or switch to one of the other schemes on the wiki-link if you prefer something else. CHeers. DavidRF (talk) 21:34, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. --Kleinzach 23:53, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi David, Hmm, I'm getting a very odd outcome when I view -- all pix are in a vertical column with nothing but white space to the left. On both Mozilla and Internet Explorer. Can this be tweaked to avoid this? Opus33 (talk) 15:17, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looks fine in both firefox and IE8 here. You could try the other methods for Wikipedia:How_to_fix_bunched-up_edit_links (examples 2-4). If none of those work, we could just put it back the way it was before. I was just fooling around with picture embedding. Its always bugged me when stacked pictures mess up the section dividers and I found a page with some suggestions. Apologies if this was too disruptive. Cheers. DavidRF (talk) 19:07, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good in Mac Safari and Firefox. Are you both on PCs? --Kleinzach 23:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm on a PC here. It looks fine for me. But I'm open for changing it if it doesn't display well for Opus33. DavidRF (talk) 23:51, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing Ravpapa's radical redesign to DavidRF's original version, I have to say I prefer David's. --Kleinzach 09:51, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rav just undid my change and put it back the way it was before. (which is fine if my changes broke some browsers). So, the "bunched up edit links" are back which is really more of a quirky nuisance than a design issue. The goal is stacked images on the right side either way. The links rav added in the in the map are completely independent of what I tried. Separate issues that can be addressed independently. DavidRF (talk) 10:34, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I was referring to the map. Regarding the lower part of the page, I can't see much difference between the versions of the last two days. --Kleinzach 13:19, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I was unaware of this discussion when I made the change. In my browser ((Explorer 7), all the pictures were indeed bunched up at the top. I have no objections to putting it back the way it was, if the problem is local to me. Also, if people don't like the interactive map, we can trash it. It's not like I worked on it for hours and hours. It's actually pretty simple to do. --Ravpapa (talk) 12:34, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. If both you and Opus had display issues, then it must not be stable. Bunched edit links is much better than bunched images.DavidRF (talk) 12:53, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The problem still hasn't been solved. If the size of the font is increased, the pictures on the right leave the column and cover the text.--62.47.131.167 (talk) 09:30, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Haydn's house in Eszterháza

[edit]

My understanding was that Haydn lived in a house slightly away from the palace building (see my edit to the Eszterháza article), not in the palace itself (at least that is what they say in the little museum in said house) - perhaps the article should make this clear? Did any servants live in the main palace? Cg2p0B0u8m (talk) 21:34, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mistakes and ommissions

[edit]

This article is fraught with ommissions and misinformation. Several addresses in the 1750s are missing that have already been published, like for instance the houses of Haydn's father in law and Johann Peter Keller's friend Johann Wilhelm Buchholz. The entrance of Stadt 1196 was not on Seilerstätte No. 21. Haydn bought his Haus on Windmühle already in 1793 and therefore didn't have to rent lodgings from that year on. And this list of corrigenda is far from complete.--62.47.131.167 (talk) 09:30, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As a matter of fact the article is even worse than you describe. All of Haydn's residences in Eisenstadt are missing that he used before he bought his own house. He never lived inside the Esterházy palace. This article was perpetrated by people who are ignorant of the German Haydn literature and just feel important by spreading their stunning ignorance on Wikipedia.--Suessmayr~enwiki (talk) 09:25, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
