New additions

Oleryhlolsson, when your addition is reverted, you are not supposed to edit war to force it through. You are supposed to seek consensus for inclusion of the disputed content. It is a basic rule of conduct on this project. Surtsicna (talk) 17:00, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well your conduct seem to be a general mistrust of the judgment of fellow users - that's not good for this project either. And then the pictures in question! Is there anything relevant to be said opposed to these three pictures/depictions:

A depiction of the wife of Eric IV of Denmark, Jutta (faceless) in the form of a watercolour painting of a now lost 13th century church fresco from the St. Bendt's Church in Ringsted
A depiction of the wife of Canute VI of Denmark, Gertrude in the form of a watercolour painting of a now lost 16th century church fresco from the St. Bendt's Church in Ringsted
A depiction of the wife of Valdemar the Great, Sophia in the form of a anatomic profile reconstruction based on her cranium made by professor in anatomy dr. Fr. C. C. Hansen - this representing the most true attempt of showing how this quuen from the 12th century looked like. Oleryhlolsson (talk) 17:31, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The faceless sketch could depict any one of the queens portrayed in that church. It is contemporary but useless.
Regarding Gertrude of Bavaria, this is a modern reproduction of a Renaissance depiction of a medieval woman. We cannot so casually list the woman as having died in 1276 while depicting her in what are obviously 16th century clothes. That looks amateurish and, what's worse, may be very misleading.
I am sure Professor Hansen did his best in 1914, but that's still just a skull with a single line representing the nose and the lips. This is the sort of facial reconstruction that gives people an idea about the person's appearance. Surtsicna (talk) 18:15, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
