Rembrandt page
Hi, I just now noticed your question on my user talk page about converting the Rembrandt paintings to thumbnails. Don't know how I missed it! I wasn't ignoring you, really--I'd offer you treats to make up for the long delay, but I haven't figured out how to send it over the internet. To answer your question--I thought that the larger original picture sizes were big for someone using a smaller screen and that thumbnails would work well there because then they could possibly see an even larger version, which I thought for artwork would be a nice thing. But I guess that's most useful if there *are* larger versions and if the page felt crowded with them full-sized. I don't feel strongly about it one way or the other in this case, so if you do, I wouldn't claw my eyes out with despair if you changed them back. :-)  (Oh, BTW, I did try changing my user image to a thumbnail when I first put it up, but it's so skinny that it came out just about exactly the same size! Hooray for Weight Watchers.) Elf 07:10, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Creep
Hello, Erik! When I wrote that, I was meaning to be lighthearted. In calling Alberto a "creep" I was having a friendly "dig" at a colleague who has worked with me on my Fiji project, by more or less translating some articles I have written. I didn't mean to put him down in any way - quite the opposite. Seeing that my remark was not understood as intended, I will remove it when I update my page (in the next day or two).

Wiktionary
Hmm, IIRC you were the chap who also did wiktionary, right? Haven't quite been able to track down your user contributions there :-) (Or am I mixing up faces already? That'd typically be me :-P ). Have a nice day! Kim Bruning 10:05, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Yup, I remember now, thanks! Kim Bruning 13:54, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

User:DavidCary
Ah, how embarrassing. I've forgotten my wikipedia password. Unfortunately, the "e-mail new password" thingy doesn't seem to work. (I don't remember if I ever entered my email address in ... or perhaps I did but mis-typed it). I suppose I could just make up a new user account ... but that seems so wasteful.

Are you one of the people that Help:Logging_in suggests might, possibly, be able to help me? Or is there someone else that I should ask? User_talk:Angela -- DavidCary http://david.carybros.com/

p.s.: I was using the same password for Wikibooks:User:DavidCary -- would you reset that one as well? --70.189.75.148 07:59, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I have no idea how you came to think I can fix this (I checked the page you mention, no ref to me). I'd help if I could, but I can't. Sorry Erik Zachte 23:48, 5 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's the problem. Help:Logging_in vaguely mentions "someone with direct access to the database". I keep guessing wrong at who that would be.
 * Angela helpfully suggested "someone with at least shell access from the list of developers". I got your name from that list of developers. OK, I'll hassle another randomly-picked name from that list :-). --70.189.75.148 06:06, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
