Watercolor Kaleidoskop und die Draisine[edit]

I think it would be suitable to add in the context of Unsinnsgesellschaft the famous watercolor ″Kaleidoskop und die Draisine″ (16.7.1818 in the magazine of the Unsinnsgesellschaft)^[1] by the member Leopold Kupelwieser,

which, according to several scholars (see above), shows Schubert and Kupelwieser.^[2]^[3] What do you think?Chip-chip-2020 (talk) 11:23, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No objections, I'll add it back in.Chip-chip-2020 (talk) 20:43, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Audio[edit]

The pronunciation of Schubert's full name needs a good audio by a native person. – Hamid Hassani (talk) 16:26, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Birth and death place in infobox[edit]

Is the aim to show as little as possible for these? (... also no mention of Wilhelm August Rieder in the caption, I see, but lots of other detail?) Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:55, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:CREDITS discourages crediting the artist in infoboxes. I've also thought that that caption is quite wordy, I'd suggest getting rid of it completely and expanding the details on the image description page (MOS:CAPSUCCINCT). As for the birth and death locations, I have no idea why more detailed ones are getting reverted. Ligaturama (talk) 09:44, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, discourages, but not prohibits? I guess we are unlikely to get a whole new article for that painting (as we did for the lead image at Beethoven). But I honestly think the linked name of the artist with a date would be more useful. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:19, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
