technical help and learn about
mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Hi and thank you for the article
Strynø Kalv. If you could add the full URLs to the webpages where you found the information, that would be quite good. If you ever have any questions, come ask at the

Magic sets
I just noticed that you had few Magic set expansion articles on your to-do list. I've created
Kaldheim and
Strixhaven: School of Mages and started drafts for
Draft:Guilds of Ravnica and
Draft:Zendikar Rising. Ravnica Allegiance and War of the Spark were missing from the
navbar so I've added those and if I have time, I'll get drafts started. I'm not sure I have enough time today to finish the drafts so feel free to update any of these articles.

I see you dabble in images...
Hi! Thanks for your work on the
Georg Schnéevoigt image uploads. I am at work on
Draft:Discography of Sibelius symphony cycles and could really use images to compliment the article. But, I don't work over at WikiCommons, and I don't understand the nuances of copyright. Do you think you could help me out? If so, then I have some names I would love for you to hunt down. Thanks!

The website states that the image is licensed under
CC BY 4.0, but the image is old enough to be considered public domain, so I've uploaded it to Commons (
here). Feel free to ask me for anything else, and I'll do my best to help out :-) --
Jonadrews (
talk) 12:23, 21 June 2021 (UTC)reply
Thanks so much! How about a better image of
Paavo Berglund, c. 1970s. The one I'm being forced to use at present is grainy and too at-a-distance. How would one find fair use images of the more modern Finnish composers, such as
Leif Segerstam,
Jukka-Pekka Saraste (1990s would be ideal),
Hannu Lintu,
Osmo Vänskä, and others. Strikes me that, as a field, the conductor images on Wikipedia are just kind of hit-or-miss. One more thing: could you please crop the image I'm using of
Herbert von Karajan, such that it is similar in its formatting to the one of
Leonard Bernstein that I've paired it with? Thanks!!
Silence of Järvenpää (
talk) 13:06, 21 June 2021 (UTC)reply
It'd also be nice to have an image of Kajanus from 1930 or so, since he made these recordings as a septuagenarian. He's far too young in the image I am using, however glorious that mustache.
Here's one, but it would need some t.l.c. and I'd prefer b/w to sepia. The image of Stokowski is also a bit too early, as it is from the 1900s. Again, 1930s would be preferable. And, the image of Koussevitzky is a bit blurring, too... and undated (but,
here's a Getty image with the same suite, tie, and personal effects from Jan. 1, 1930) So, why the interest in Schnéevoigt?
Silence of Järvenpää (
talk) 13:17, 21 June 2021 (UTC)reply
Sadly I couldn't find a freely licensed image of Berglund nor of Koussevitzky, but while searching I managed to find
Koussevitzky's signature (which is probably not of much use, but I thought it was neat). I found
this image of Kajanus, which I converted to b/w and uploaded to Commons, you can find it
here. I found
this image of Stokowski, but it's very low resolution, and does not fit with the other images, and did therefore not upload it. I also cropped the image of Karajan as you requested, you can find it
here. Finding public domain/freely licensed images from the twenty first century can be a hassle, and I usually tend not to, sometimes you can get lucky and find a good free one though :p The reason that I'm interested in Schnéevoigt is because I actually have loose family ties to him. --
Jonadrews (
talk) 15:28, 21 June 2021 (UTC)reply
Hi! I can't believe that I forgot to return here to thank you for your help! Quite inconsiderate of me. Anyway, I love the new image of Kajanus, as well as of Schnéevoigt! You've done tremendous work (provided they survive image review when I eventually try for FLC). How interesting (amazing!) that you have familial ties to Schnéevoigt;
Axel Carpelan and
Adolf Paul seem to not have been fans of his conducting style, and prevailed upon Sibelius... I haven't yet listened to his world premiere recording of the Sixth Symphony, but it's nice to see that Naxos Historical has worked to restore it to its proper place in history, it having for so long been replaced by the interpretation by
Thomas Beecham. Oh, this image policy! Grumble... I can't make heads of tails of it. All I know is that the images of conductors 'series' is in a sorry state, specially the oft-neglected Nordic conductors. Any labor here on your part would be tremendously valuable. Could you please take a moment to crop the image of
Paavo Berglund with Aulis Sallinen (crop out all others, including Sallinen's cigarette)? At least then we could have an image that shows his face.
Silence of Järvenpää (

Sure thing! I've uploaded it
here, hope it looks fine. --
Jonadrews (
talk) 15:41, 23 June 2021 (UTC)reply
The resolution is indeed very low, but I would say that it at least looks better than the old one. It would be amazing if we could find one of higher quality, so I'll stay on the lookout ;) --
Jonadrews (
talk) 15:53, 23 June 2021 (UTC)reply
It might be possible to reach out to him and ask him to send a picture. I highly doubt that it would work, but it can't hurt to try. The only issues is that I can't speak Finnish, so we would probably have to ask someone for a favor. --

Seems like Osmo Vänskä's agent makes images available for free download? Why do these then violate copyright? Wouldn't they fall under fair use?
[1]Silence of Järvenpää (
talk) 16:39, 23 June 2021 (UTC)reply
Kamu!
[6] (all this is of course premised on the idea that agents make images of the clients available for precisely this kind of thing... publicity.)
The fact that the images are free doesn’t necessarily mean that they aren’t protected by copyright. It doesn’t look like they say how the images are licensed on the website, so we have no way of knowing for sure. --
Jonadrews (

And if I wanted to reach out to then to inquire as the the images' status, what types of language and terms would one use? Educate me, please!

Jonadrews (

And, how about a picture of
Thomas Beecham from the late 1930s or 1940s? I'd like to replace Stokowski with him, since his recordings enjoy a more classic status. But the picture of Beecham on his bio page is horrifically frightening. He looks like a monster.
Silence of Järvenpää (
talk) 00:44, 24 June 2021 (UTC)reply
Sure thing, you can find it
here (it's from 1946, hope that's ok) :) --
Jonadrews (
talk) 13:11, 24 June 2021 (UTC)reply
Excellent! But now I'm thinking I'd like to crop Schnéevoigt and Kajanus to be the same degree of close-up as Beecham. And I might switch the pic of Koussevitzky (can you find a better one?), too.
Silence of Järvenpää (

Knock, knock... how 'bout a Schnéevoigt crop? Damn, it doesn't rhyme. Oh well. :)
Silence of Järvenpää (

I am now done with the crop (that wasn't even close to rhyming), I've uploaded it
here. Just so you know, tomorrow I'll be going on vacation for the next couple of weeks, so I wont be editing on Wikipedia for a short while ;) --
Jonadrews (

Hi! Welcome back, I imagine by now, from vacation! Would love it if we could team up again for some images. Right now I'm looking for more options for images of and/or related to (e.g., signature)
Uuno Klami, as (eventually) I'll write his biography.

Hey! I'm super sorry for the late response (how unprofessional of me). I'll be doing something for next 3-5 days, but after that I would love to help you out with some images! --
Jonadrews (
talk) 10:20, 28 July 2021 (UTC)reply
Alright, sorry for the constant delays. I have now finally had some time to sit down and look for some images :p I found a couple of portraits, but sadly no signature or anything else. I decided to upload 4 portraits to Commons,
one of Klami outside (though this one is kinda low res),
one where he's at a piano, and two pretty unnoteworthy uploaded
here and
here. I hope it's sufficient :) --
Jonadrews (

Excellent! Having you back makes me very happy. :) These will be a great help, indeed! A few quibbles and a few requests: Can we crop the black out of the one of Klami in a beret? And, I must if possible have the most iconic image of Klami, albeit cropped to remove the interloper:

Hi, Jonatan! Your services are requested: Given the brilliant work you did for me on Uuno Klami's autograph, I'm looking for a similar treatment for Leevi Madetoja and, especially, Jean Sibelius (we've got an infobox on his page now and a signature appears to have the go-ahead). If you're game, then I'd be happy to discuss things in more detail. Very warmly
