Who[edit]

'Mr.Mr.' Dance Practice on YouTube

The girl dancing in the middle from 1:37 - 1:53 is Taeyeon, I guess.

Can any Wikipedian tell me who is the girl dancing in the middle from 1:16 - 1: 36? She is also gorgeous! >///<

Thank you! Stringent Checker (talk) 16:43, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The performance group is called "Girls' Generation". Expand the description of the video and there are links to their many social media pages. 97.82.165.112 (talk) 17:47, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I just checked but still could not certainly identify who is who among the group in the video. 😅 It seems to me that their makeup and hairstyles have varied from time to time and are often leading the trends in fashion! Stringent Checker (talk) 04:39, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The video is dated March 2014. A line-up is shown in the first image in the article List of Gaon Album Chart number ones of 2014, also dated March 2014, unfortunately not identifying the group members individually. Might she be Yuri, second left-to-right standing in the image in the article Girls' Generation, dated September 2015? --Lambiam 09:45, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think she is the same group member as shown in close-up from 2:17 to 2:19 in this "Mr. Mr." video. --Lambiam 10:02, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lambiam Ahh, thank you so much, maybe you are right! My first intuition told me that the group member as shown in close-up from 2:17 to 2:19 is Taeyeon though. 🤣 And do you think this group member performing from 1:20 to 1:33 is the same as the one shown in the Dance Practice version from 2:00 to 2:10? I am not sure if they're the same because one of the two was wearing a surgical mask. Stringent Checker (talk) 07:35, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. They all seem to have similar face types, neatly round, smooth and symmetric, without obvious distinctive features. Even so, I find it hard to believe that the image in our article on Taeyeon shows the same person as seen here – the difference appears, to my untrained eye, larger than that between Taeyeon and Yuri. And this looks – to me – as yet another person. --Lambiam 11:26, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I could not agree more with you!! It's pretty hard to believe that File:Kim_Tae-yeon_at_Incheon_Airport_on_August_29,_2019.png, a picture taken in late 2019 can differ that much from the one taken in January 2020. It feels like magic! I am curious if the picture was falsely named as Kim_Tae-yeon, or that cosmetics did the magic? (or if they have had plastic surgery?)

I asked a question at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Computing § Can Facial recognition system identify a person before and after cosmetics? in the wake of the astonishement. Stringent Checker (talk) 13:39, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I take it that neither you nor Lambiam have much experience with makeup? Those all seem like the same person to me. I wonder what you would think about these two pictures of me: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Khajidha.jpg --Khajidha (talk) 15:23, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I find https://tfwiki.net/ fantastic! Thank you for being open-minded and sharing something about you with other Wikipedian. Also, thank you for letting me know this wiki! That makes my day! :D Stringent Checker ^[bargaining] 16:06, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

😲😲😳😳. Oh my god! It's surreal to me.😵😵👁👀 (I am a bit heartsick... ~~So maybe Taeyeon along with others are not that beautiful as I previously thought? Okay, perhaps~~ I should focus on the inner beautify such as a kind heart.) You are right. I am new to the area. 😆 Not sure if this is also the case of Lambiam. Stringent Checker ^[bargaining] 15:51, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lambiam what do you think about this? How likely it is that cosmetics did the magic? Thank you. Stringent Checker ^[bargaining] 15:51, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Engravings[edit]

The article Fanny Simonsen has a portrait of the soprano in a style I find most attractive. It was lifted from a short-lived Australian magazine The Lorgnette, which ran a series of portraits of contemporary (1889—1890) artists. Some credit the original photographer, most don't. I've listed them in an embryonic article in userspace with links to the Trove copies. My query is, what technique/s were employed? Doug butler (talk) 18:36, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think the reprographic technique may be leggotype, mentioned in Halftone § History. --Lambiam 23:16, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that's helpful. Doug butler (talk) 21:43, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
