Talk:Itzig family

I reworded the part about Bella so that I could follow who did what. (I couldn't follow it as originally worded.) Content is identical, but I hope clearer to readers.Brozhnik (talk) 04:01, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Corrected attribution of which Itzig gave the St. Matthew Passion manuscript to Felix Mendelssohn, based on a recent scholarly source, which says it was Bella, not Sarah Levy.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Brozhnik (talk • contribs) 21:35, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Sara Levy

Just a comment that I have reverted the addition of material to this article created by my elsewhere. There it concerned Bach reception of a particular type of piece. The content was tailor-made for that article. An editor copy-pasted part of that content here outside its original context. I have removed it because no context was provided here. The edits do not seem to have been made to help the reader. This is the D of WP:BRD. Mathsci (talk) 21:55, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

• This rather seems a disturbing removal of material that was well-referenced, and germane to the current article. --Francis Schonken (talk) 06:18, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

This content was inappropriate here. It was created elsewhere by me for a different purpose as part of Bach reception. In the other article, proper context was provided.

This article is a biographical article concerning the life of the Itzig family; it is not a receptacle for material on Bach reception that Francis Schonken dislikes. That material is still on wikipedia in tis intended context, so the reader is still well-served. Francis Schonken has caused disruption for several months by agitating to remove content I've written by this means; he has always been unable to provide any coherent reasons for doing so and his editing was restricted because of that. Nevertheless he copy-pasted the content here from the article on the violin sonatas of Bach. That seems to be an example of WP:POINT.

As a Dutch-speaking Belgian Franics Schonken's knowledge of German is probably better than his knowledge of English. Many of the contemporary books and journal articles on Sara Levy are in German, because they concern the history and culture of Berlin, particularly the emancipation of the Jews. That puts Francis Schonken in an excellent position here to create biographical content on Sara Levy. I believe Sara Levy did not convert to Christianity, unlike other members of her family. Francis Schonken would certainly be able to sort things like that out, now that he has shown his interest in this topic. Perhaps there are articles on the German wikipedia that can give hints as to how to improve this article. Mathsci (talk) 08:35, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
