Unreadable article - was it created by a gibberish-generator? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.214.39.187 (talk) 10:00, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Title of page should be changed to "Feast of Fools (festival)" to create a disambiguation page.

Since there are two "Feast of Fools" entries in Wikipedia, I propose that the Feast of Fools festival page add (festival) to its name to create a disambiguation page when people search for "Feast of Fools." RcktManChgo (talk) 22:08, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Considering that one is has a cultural history of nearly 1500 years and the other is a barely notable podcast -- I'd say no, the article should not be moved. older ≠ wiser 01:28, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

If you just think to yourself, what is the Wikipedia reader most likely to be looking for in entering Feast of Fools? you won't often go wrong. --Wetman (talk) 06:41, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

The Picture of the Feast of Fools isn't by Bruegel

The color picture displayed with the article is actually a modern oil painting by Laurence Smith based on Bruegel's original work. Bruegel's version wasn't in color. It also may be worth mentioning that Bruegel's picture doesn't depict an actual Feast of Fools celebration, at least according to art historian Keith Moxey in 'Pieter Bruegel and The Feast of Fools,' The Art Bulletin, Vol. 64, Dec 1982, pp. 640-646: "Bruegel's subject is more closely linked to the pictorial conventions of his day than to historical circumstances. Rather than representing the activities of an actual Feast of Fools therefore, Bruegel's subject is more likely to constitute an allegory of folly." --Alexboese (talk) 19:36, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok, caption changed, and the picture tagged as a probable copyvio - do you have a link for the actual author, & any knowlege relevant to copyright? Johnbod (talk) 00:57, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Here's Laurence Smith's site. I don't have any info about copyright. --Alexboese (talk) 04:26, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Has "A Distant Mirror" been disproved? There are claims made in A Distant Mirror that include "playing dice on the altar" "mass was celebrated in nonsensical gibberish" and "danced in women's clothes and beast's masks". Does history not think that happened anymore? 2601:47:2:5D6:7999:D5BE:BA93:7F31 (talk) Chezzo Osman —Preceding undated comment added 22:15, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
