In nomination
Because contrary to his name, A Nobody is quite a somebody! Ecoleetage (talk) 02:22, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the nomination! Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 17:16, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Americans
Is there anyone on there who isn't American (the real life celebrities, not the Wikipedians)? It'd be quite nice to have an array of nationalities.  Jolly  Ω   Janner  16:37, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Janner. The issue is that I do not feel a person should dedicate a photo they did not take themselves; I think a person should only dedicate their own work.  Because I am based in New York, my photography is heavily American.  That said, the following non-Americans are represented:  Salman Rushdie, Enson Inoue, Sharin Foo and Milagros Schmoll.  Small, but not so bad considering I'm limited to whoever washes up on the shores of Manhattan. -- David  Shankbone  17:14, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. I didn't realise you took them yourself! Maybe you could take pictures outside the UN.  Jolly  Ω   Janner  18:48, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I only do event/press photography, not paparazzi, which I consider to be too debasing. I don't have press credentials for the U.N., but not too many international celebrities and authors show up there, I don't believe.  Maybe they do.  I've slowed down on my photography. -- David  Shankbone  23:59, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Jfdwolff
Hi David. Still taking noms for these? User:Jfdwolff is the WikiDoc. He formerly ran the clinical medicine wikiproject singlehandedly, and has created probably more medical content than anyone here. Easily a great. -- Samir 01:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Samir - I will look over his work, and this is exactly why I take nominations because that's an area where I have no knowledge of the users who operate in it, so thank you. -- David  Shankbone  01:46, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd strongly support that nomination, he's an asset to the project. Tim Vickers (talk) 22:49, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

User:YellowMonkey

nomination
Hey David, I'm not sure what your criteria are, but I'd like to suggest Moni3 as a candidate for your hall. Her FA's on a wide variety of topics are a great asset to the encyclopedia. Lady of  Shalott  16:10, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent candidate - thank you. -- >David  Shankbone  23:22, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
