Hi I have answered your question at Editor assistance/Requests. If you're still having problems feel free to say so on that page, or ask me further questions on my talkpage. All the best, -- Beloved Freak  17:04, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 03:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

How's it going?
Hi, I thought I'd stop by and see if you needed any help with references or formatting and such. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if I can do anything. (Click on the talk after my user name, then on "new section" near the top of that page.) Cheers, --AndrewHowse (talk) 16:45, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Your questions
Hi, I've replied to your question at Editor assistance/Requests & hope it helps. [Edit: actually someone got there 1st but you have an answer!] Do you think you could try & keep your threads together on that page? I know some have been archived, nothing you can do about that, but there's no need to start another one half way down the page when the 1st one hasn't been answered yet. It makes it a little confusing for those trying to help out. Also, please could you remember to sign your messages by putting  ~  at the end? Thanks, -- Beloved Freak  15:28, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I have replied to your message again & moved it up the page to join your other ones, in case you couldn't find it. Basically, just post your article and take it from there. -- Beloved Freak  21:55, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

If I may...
Hello. There is something of a taboo here against changing another editor's User page, which is where you are developing Eleanore Mikus. I have broken that taboo by making a few changes as though it were simply an article in development and not also a user page; my apologies.

With your permission I would like to improve the footnoting scheme, to somewhat automate keeping track of the numbers, and then to cite some of the artist's mentions in the New York Times, three of which can be read here, here, and here. I look forward to seeing the article in the Wikipedia main article space and to seeing the Eleanore Mikus link change from red to blue. Regards, CliffC (talk) 00:23, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

I appreicate your input and have found the references that are listed as accurate too. Would prefer not to list all of the NYT souces -- thank you.

Suggestions
I reread the article this morning and I think that if it "goes public" in anything like its current state editors here will likely criticize it for reading a bit like a resumé. Toward avoiding this, it might be helpful to focus less on naming her contemporaries and SoHo-neighbor artists, and offer more detail on her artworks and recognitions such as the Guggenheim fellowship. You might look at some other artist articles here for ideas. The mention of the upcoming show at the Malborough Gallery may raise editor questions about a possible conflict of interest on the author's part; something else you should be prepared for. Regards, CliffC (talk) 14:22, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Have redone the bio and it highlights the work that is special as well as showing how the artist came to the different stages.

Also looked at other artists and dates are featured in their articles too. Thank you.


 * I took the liberty of putting nowiki tags around the categories you've used. That'll stop the page from triggering any alerts because userpages aren't allowed in most categories. When you move the page into articlespace (and shout if you want help with that) then you can remove those tags and the category labels will take effect. --AndrewHowse (talk) 21:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I have removed the links to other language Wiikipedias (interwiki links) because there is no Eleanore Mikus article in any of those languages.-- Beloved Freak  10:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Welcome back
Hi, I fixed a few problems introduced by your edits today; the 'history' tab at the top of the page will tell you what they were. I also restored some tags and left an explanation at Talk:Eleanore_Mikus. --CliffC (talk) 02:05, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
