Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into
a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania,
and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury
for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the
River
was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old
Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it
in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!

Prussian revolutionary cabinet[edit]

I noticed that the link you added yesterday in Free State of Prussia to the Prussian revolutionary cabinet is still red today. Is there a new article on the way?

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from Adolf Georg von Maltzan to another page. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. For example: Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, please add attribution retrospectively for that also, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Fram (talk) 07:16, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I meant to include this but forgot and have gone back and made the proper attribution. Many thanks! DACC23 (talk) 13:47, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Anthony Hardolph Eyre has been removed or altered, as it appears to closely paraphrase a copyrighted source. Limited close paraphrasing or quotation is appropriate within reason, so long as the material is clearly attributed in the text. However, longer paraphrases, especially if they are not attributed to their source, may constitute copyright violation or plagiarism, and are not acceptable on Wikipedia. Such content cannot be hosted here for legal reasons; please do not post it on any page, even if you plan to fix it later. You may use external websites or printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If you own the copyright to the text, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the copyright but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. I notice borderline copyright violations here, e.g. the sentences "Through his mother, the family acquired the manor and estate at Headon, Nottinghamshire. In 1762 he purchased the manor and estate of Grove in Nottinghamshire, adjacent to his other properties at Rampton, Treswell and Headon." are way too close to the source[1]: "Through his wife he acquired the manor and estate at Headon in Nottinghamshire. In 1762 he purchased the manor and estate of Grove in Nottinghamshire, adjacent to his other properties at Rampton, Treswell and Headon". Further in the same article, you write "he devoted himself to county affairs, serving as a Justice of the Peace for many years." and "His only son died in 1811, and his estates were divided after his death between his younger daughters Frances Julia Harcourt Vernon (whose husband inherited Grove and Headon), and Henrietta Eyre (whose husband's brother inherited Rampton). " where the source has " devoted himself to county affairs, serving as a Justice of the Peace for many years. His only son died in 1811, and his estates were divided after his death between his younger daughters Frances Julia Harcourt Vernon (whose husband inherited Grove and Headon), and Henrietta Eyre (whose husband's brother inherited Rampton).
