Straw poll
Hi Bries, I've added a straw poll to the talk page at Herero and Namaqua Uprising regarding the title of the article. Perhaps you could comment. Thanks!--Birdmessenger 15:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Birdmessenger, Good initiative! I will comment at the Herero and Namaqua Uprising talk page later. Thanks --Bries 08:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Lothar von Trotha
Hi Bries. Thanks for your help in keeping the Herero War/Genocide/Uprising article intact. You may also want to watch the article on Lothar von Trotha as Maria is also actively rewriting history there. Greenman 11:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Greenman. OK, I will put the Von Trotha article on my watchlist. --Bries 11:30, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Type specimens
Hi Bries. Thanks, I will give that a try. I am on a deadline right now but will figure out how to do that and then upload them to the commons. Best, Jim CApitol3 20:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Jim! That would be great. Of course there is no rush, Wikipedia is not my job :) --Bries 07:43, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
