From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well, I have little to say about myself except that I am Canadian, live in Mississauga (represent!), am a non-denominational Christian, and am of Ukrainian birth. Huh, I DO have something to say about myself.

As you can see, I have userboxes, but they're in TERRIBLE condition. If you can help me sort them out (into something of a pattern), please, please do.

Wikipedia and Me

[edit]

You won't see me writing articles (a big reason is that I have no idea how to cite my sources) much, but I chip away at the giant stone of Wikipedia with minor edits. Be it a missing link or a link too many, a spelling mistake, or any other small mishap, I'll fix it. Also, I'll add small tidbits of information here and there (nothing I'll have to cite though). I believe the term is...gnome? Sure, I'm no barnstar candidate (unless there's a barnstar for prolific gnomes of Wikipedia), but I like to know that I help out at least a little.

Wood carving of the birth of Christ from the Kefermarkt altarpiece
The Kefermarkt altarpiece is a richly decorated wooden altarpiece in the Late Gothic style in the parish church of Kefermarkt in Upper Austria. Commissioned by the knight Christoph von Zelking, it was completed around 1497. Saints Peter, Wolfgang and Christopher are depicted in the central section. The wing panels depict scenes from the life of Mary, and the altarpiece also has an intricate superstructure and two side figures of Saints George and Florian. The identity of its maker, known by the notname Master of the Kefermarkt Altarpiece, is unknown, but at least two skilled sculptors appear to have created the main statuary. Throughout the centuries, it has been altered and lost its original paint and gilding; a major restoration was undertaken in the 19th century under the direction of Adalbert Stifter. The altarpiece has been described as "one of the greatest achievements in late-medieval sculpture in the German-speaking area". This image shows the upper-left wing panel of the Kefermarkt altarpiece, depicting the birth of Christ. Mary is portrayed kneeling in devotion in front of the infant Christ, who is placed before her on a fold of her dress. On the other side, Joseph is also kneeling in front of the child. Above Mary, on the roof of the building behind them, are two angels playing a mandolin and a lute. The annunciation to the shepherds can be seen in the background.Sculpture credit: Master of the Kefermarkt Altarpiece; photographed by Uoaei1
