Hi. Could you be somehow related to User:Kristintanith? You seem to have remarkably similar interests, style, and names. -- Hoary (talk) 01:04, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: User:Kristintanith
Hoary, I'm sure that's me too. I'm very new to wikipedia and I've recently done edits for Henry Wolf, Aubrey Boudine, and Guenter Knop. All edits, I think, should be under ktanith. I may have created kristintanith a few months ago but I've never made any edits before this month. I've done my best to read as much as your rules as possible but clearly I have not done a good job of it. I would appreciate any help with regards to following your guidelines. I know that it must be hard, to say the least, for you guys to keep wikipedia as it's meant to be I don't want to be one of the thousands whose messing it up. Please englighten me...Thanks

Hoary, I think I figured out what's going on. I signed up under ktanith in January but didn't use that account, then signed up this month as kristintanith to start making edits. Then...my work computer had me automatically logged in as ktanith, and home computer loged in as kristintanith. So making edits at work and at home I was unwittingly alternating between the two. What should I do?


 * Thanks for the reply.


 * You don't have to do anything. It's perfectly fine. I was going to suggest that the two accounts should be merged (so that all the edits by both would appear to be by whichever you prefer), but I've just now read that this is impossible.


 * Unfortunately, photography is not one of the more stellar subject areas of Wikipedia. I'm hard pressed to give you even a single example of a good article on a recent photographer. Roman Vishniac is a "featured article" and should be first-rate, but if you look at its first footnote you'll see that 28 assertions are sourced to a single book with no mention of page number; Wikipedia in general (and I in particular) don't approve of such vague sourcing any more. (André Kertész is similar.)


 * I'm afraid I know nothing of the photographers that you have been working on, other of course than what you say and what googling etc tells me. I wish you the best in working on them, and if you hit any obstacles please let me know.


 * The related "Project" is this one, do please take a look. -- Hoary (talk) 07:23, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * This is all good to know. I will work on my entries, sticking with the first user name, "kristintanith" and helping with the project as best I can.--Ktanith (talk) 19:48, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
