I was wondering if someone could point me to where old portrait paintings of people might be. Is there a source for high resolution or decent resolution scans of paintings? Thank you. --140.233.214.155 00:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

This question, or questions very similiar to it, have appeared now on at least three occasions since the time I began work on the Humanities Desk. So, trawling back through the archives, here below is an extract from an earlier answer I gave. Clio the Muse 22:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Are there many female editors here or is it mostly guys?
No user box, but female and proud! Clio the Muse 00:57, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand why the defensiveness and negativity . The questioner never suggested there shouldn't be female editors; and obviously it matters to them otherwise they wouldn't have asked it - whether any one else agrees or not is neither here nor there. -- JackofOz 04:04, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I think an estimate was made about a year ago that the majority of wikipedians are white American males. Not 100% sure about that, but quite possible... · A ndonic O Talk 00:57, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
How did they count or keep track with time during the medieval ages? Did they have months? Days?
hello,
Is there any official or true name for the 5 pointed star in a circle associated with satan (not nessercerily(spelling?) any one like this one with a goat in it but any 5 pointed star in a circle)?
Also what do the symbols mean at the points of the star and what language are they?
The pentagram actually used to symbolize Christ, anciently, so you may be just fine. Wrad 18:38, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
What's the big deal with pictures of nude celebrities? I'd imagine men who look at pictures of nude women care more about the way the women look than who they are. They can't get them for themselves anyway, so what's the point? If Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Paris Hilton came to me and said one of them was going to strip for me, I'm sure you'd guess my choice. On the other hand, when it comes to these two women as themselves, my preference is the exact opposite. J I P | Talk 12:38, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Is there an unbiased source who can answer this question: how many active and reserve troops does the US have? Robertastar 16:44, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
I am looking for works (either fiction or non-fiction) that shed light upon the human condition. In other words, literature that explains the motivations and complexities and ambiguities and puzzling emotions which being a human involves. That is a rather broad category, but I'm sure that you won't disappoint.
On a more specific note, I really like works of prose that could have been poems: prose-literature which, if you break it down into lines, proves to be in the form of iambic pentameter. Much of Moby-Dick, (of course), is written this way, as are a number of Bradbury stories and James Thurber's children's classic The Thirteen Clocks. Where are the works of iambic pentameter in prose?
Thank you all!! 161.13.1.225 20:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)MelancholyDanish
In the case of fiction, all of the really major novelists do just what you describe. Among them are Balzac (see La Comédie humaine), Dostoevsky, Henry James, Joseph Conrad, Thomas Hardy, William Faulkner, Thomas Mann, F. Scott Fitzgerald, E. M. Forster, Boris Pasternak and Graham Greene. Much the same is true of the major poets, though poetry tends to cast its light on the human condition in metaphor and riddle.

I believe that Beloved has portions in iambic pentameter. It certainly has something to say about the human condition. --Sean 22:29, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
This isn't iambic pentameter, but it's some of the best writing in the English language today. Corvus cornix 22:49, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Does IP/copyright exist within a legal contract?
That is, is the contract document itself able to be protected from use by other than the parties who developed it (i.e. the lawyers or the party commissioning the lawyers to develop it), and/or the parties who eventually put the contract to use (i.e. the signatories to the contract in its final format)?
Example: Organisation A commissions Law Firm B to develop a generic property leasing contract for Organisation A to issue to it's subsidiary companies to use in their property dealings.
Does copyright exist, and who owns it?
--Alan2008 21:29, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Copyright can subsist in the most banal of creations, including legal contracts. I should have thought it was even more clearly the case for a contract that was commissioned to serve as someone's standard terms of business (although lawyers in these circumstances, like in most others, will usually want to start with a precedent document rather than a blank page).
Who the copyright in the commissioned standard-form contract belongs to will depend on the contract under which the commissioned standard-form contract was commissioned :) It could belong to the lawyer who wrote it, or the firm they work for (if any), or the client who commissioned it, or the provider of the drafting (if it was taken by one of the providers of legal materials, such as LexisNexis), or a combination of them. -- !! ?? 14:15, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I've read that an important part in the development of the PLAAF was training from captured Japanese in 1945. I'm looking for info in post-WW2 relations between captured Japanese who became advisors and Red chinese. What role did the defeated Japanese who were captured in Manchuria in 1945 play in advancing Red China's military and industry? How did they view each other? When were the Japanese returned to Japan? If anyone knows any print or online resources Id appreciate it. --Gosplan 23:
