Talk:Alfred Shea Addis

Alfred Shea Addis
(For convenience, this is copied from Kaiwhakahaere's talk page) You so called "Editors" at Wikipedia really give the organization a bad name with your lack of education and understanding of the material. You don't even read the article entirely, you just cut cut cut. Why? You think you have some kind of academic powers? Look ... the few photographs that remain of Alfred Shea Addis's work are all there is and you single handedly decided to remove some of those photographs from the article about Alfred Shea Addis. Why? To demonstrate your lack of education, lack of knowledge, lack of sense? Or did you do that to attempt to erase a 19th century Western photographer from American culture? Come on and get a grip. Stop being so predjudical. 76.0.222.56 (talk) 10:02, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Good morning to you too Marian. It's pointless me trying to debate with you, so let me just say that if you are so sure your verbosity is preferable to succinct writing, then take this to RfC. Just so readers know what the problem is, they can judge for themselves from the following two passages.
 * Yours --"Although Alfred Shea Addis was a prolific photographer, today there remains but a handful of his carte de visites and photographs. Only fifteen are still in existence".
 * Mine -- "Although Addis was a prolific photographer, only 15 of his cartes de visit and photographs still exist."
 * And yes, it is cartes de visit, not carte which you insist on. Also, I did not remove "some of those photographs from the article". I removed one, which is shown here. It's size limitation means it is neither use nor ornament in this article. I am reverting the article. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 19:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
