Hello, Paintmaker, and welcome to wikipedia editing.

I am a relative newcomer, having started editing less than 6 months ago. I updated the rose madder article because I have been "disambiguating" the "violet" references. this is mindless work: I noticed that "rose madder" linked to "violet" when it should have linked to Violet (color), so I fixed it.

But then...

I read the article. There was no link from "color index.", so I did some quick Wikipedia and Google web research, and discovered your article, the ASTM International article, and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists article. I made weak edit to the AATCC article, and linked the rose madder article to the Colour Index International article.

Why am I bothering you with all this? well, I finally looked at the edit history of the "rose madder' article and found that you had added the actual important substance to the article. I infer that you are an actual expert. So, I ask that you please review the slash-and-burn edit I did to the AATCC article to see if it is valid.

I am writing this to you in the hope that it will inspire you to be bold. You are an expert. Please edit articles in your field as you see fit.

Thanks. -Arch dude 02:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
