French cheese articles
If you enjoy eating French cheeses, and are handy with a digital camera, think of snapping a photo before completely devouring them. I recommend photographing round-shaped cheeses cut out with a small slice so the interior can be seen. This excellent site has some great public domain photos in general, and of cheese in particular (can be used as a reference on how to photograph cheese):  http://pdphoto.org/PictureHome.phpGondola 11:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Brain Fitness article
Hi, Caroline! How is your article progressing?--Gondola 11:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Caroline. I suggest that you talk with Lucky 6.9 directly via his user page discussion. Gondola 18:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Lucky 6.9 is a new page patroller. There is a long list of requests, so just add yours to the list. Gondola 18:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

What is the title of your article? Gondola 18:59, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Gondola! The title is Brain Fitness. I can go to Lucky 6.9's page. I just wasn't sure what the process was. Thanks for your help! Dendritelady 19:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, be patient, Lucky 6.9 seems he has a lot on his Wikipedian plate! Gondola 19:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Will do! Dendritelady 19:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I cannot find your article when I searched either. I am just an editor like you are, Lucky 6.9 is an administrator. I adore your dendrite ID! Keep me posted and let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Gondola 19:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Much appreciated. I left him a note, so hopefully I'll hear back when he returns from his wikibreak. Thanks again for your help! Dendritelady 19:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

When an user ID is highlighted in blue like mine that means there is a user page. Yours is highlighted in red. But Lucky can still leave a message for you. BTW, I could not locate your message on Lucky 6.9's discussion page. Gondola 19:54, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I also checked deleted articles (located on special pages to the left) and could not locate yours. Gondola 20:06, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

The page is up! Now I need to edit it so it's up to standards. Feel free edit as well, since you are familiar with the topic too! Will set up a user page. Dendritelady 03:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Excellent! I did a minor edit and left suggestions on the discussion page.--Gondola 11:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Lisa Kudrow advice
I just noticed that you deleted my Lisa Kudrow controversy edit because it was non referenced and POV. I tried to get a reference to her actual words but was unable to. And as for the POV aspect of my edit, I did reference national health care to a wikipedia article. The French health care system is considered to be excellent per various ratings but I did not reference that either---here are some belated refs [] [] []. So I agree for the reasons of your deletion, but I still feel strongly that her comment was controversial and made no sense. I am an user of the French health system, and I know from experience and knowledge that a patient has access to medical doctors at all times, French doctors do not disappear during the summer. When I searched the Web, I came across Americans stating that they now know that all socialized medicine is useless because Lisa Kudrow said so. So her comment was controversial, misleading, and wrong. I will write a Wikipedia article on the French Health Care system, so next time I need to reference it, I can. --Gondola 11:51, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps if it's worded diffferently it won't be POV? Honestly I only vaguely remember having done it. How long ago was this? I'm glad you didn;t take it personally. -FateSmiled&amp;DestinyLaughed 11:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps the deletion of the last sentence would make it less POV, even through it is true!:

On the Tonight Show, aired on August 1, 2006, she mentioned to Jay Leno that she was unable to receive proper medical attention while vacationing in France and had to resort calling her own doctor in California. The French publicly-funded health care system provides for medical doctor visits at home for a nominal fee and provides for medical personnel to be available every day of the year. In addition there is private medical treatment available. Her comment therefore has caused puzzlement among the users of the French health care system.

Your edit was dated Sept 21 per that article page's history. No need for me to take your edit personally, as you gave good reasons and I could contact you directly.

Even with improving the POV language, Kudrow's words still need to be referenced, and I tried very hard without success to get a transcript or a video of her words. Wikipedia takes possible slandering of celebrities very seriously as they need to.

But the positive aspect of your edit is I am now motivated to write an article on the French national health care system, so I thank you for that! --Gondola 14:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Cheeses
Recently there was a tag for deletion of this project which did not pass and there was also a recent merge proposal as well to bring it back into WikiProject Food and Drink. In a hopes to revive this project I have done an excessive revamp of the main page as well as added many subsidiaries to it for organization. I have also created a member template which you can find a link to on the projects main page as well. The one thing I will be doing is including the members of this project along with the parent project WikiProject Food and Drink for the monthly newsletter currently sent to the parent project. If you do not wish to receive the link for the newsletter, just let me know. Hope to see you on the WikiProject Cheeses soon.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 19:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * To answer your message on my page, there is a guide for assessment underneath the assessment graph on the project's main page.  I do still think the Bleu de Bresse is a "stub" as it doesn't give a whole lot of information, but take a look at the guidelines and it will tell you more.   I also edited the template on your main page to properly reflect the member banner link and I also took the inactive thing off your page as there are now (a few) active members.  Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 19:30, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Gondola. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gondola~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:14, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
