 * There's already an article on Puerta de Europa, i.e. Torres KIO, Madrid. But if i can help you, I'd be happy to. Pinkville 22:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Yokosuka
Hi Pinkville! It's be quite a while since I uploaded the image "Yokosuka", and I am afraid I have lost trace of the source. I think it was a book on ancient Japanese photography. Regards PHG 17:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Too bad. Thanks for checking into it. Pinkville 17:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Consenus
Hey Pink, do you have any consenus? If you do, let me know: I'll then ignore it. Dig the groovy new addition to my user page ("The true Hoary revealed!"). -- Hoary 23:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I had a terrible case of consenus not too long ago... I was laid up for two weeks!
 * But, be honest (you can tell me). You must have given Brettr something in return for that fine new bio-blurb you added to your userpage, right? Brettr outdid him/herself on that - especially considering the sharply contrasting nature of her/his own self-description. Pinkville 00:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Intriguingly substantial bibliographic notation
Yo, Pink, take a look at this if you really have nothing better to do with your time. Score 0 for a "me too" comment, 5 points for intelligent agreement, 20 points for intelligent disagreement or suggestions. -- Hoary 01:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll have a proper look at this in a day or two. ISBNs tend to make my eyes water... Pinkville 16:33, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Something good for a change
Try this for size. -- Hoary 13:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * That does look good! It's somewhat amusing that enWikipedia may soon have a definite preponderance of GAs/FAs on Japanese and Eastern European photographers, but none at all on any of the better known ("Western") names. I don't mind in the least. Pinkville 16:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Come on come on. Or, much simpler. -- Hoary 05:45, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Giles Penfound
I recently put a prod tag on Giles Penfound. As your user page is one of 2 pages (other than process-ish pages) that the name is linked from, I thought I would request your comment. If you want to assist in saving the article, please speak up and improve the article. Mahalo. --Ali&#39;i 15:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't recall "watching" the page, don't know anything about the photographer, and imagine a deletion is justified (based on the scant info in the article itself), so fire away! Thanks for letting me know, though. A very considerate thing to do. Pinkville 22:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Quite alright. Glad I could help. I only asked since you had his name on your user page. :-) Again, mahalo. --Ali&#39;i 13:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Pierre Rossier
Hi, Pinkville. I noticed you reverted my changes in the order of photos of the article about Pierre Rossier. When I first saw the article I though the first photograph was the subject of the article however it seems he is not him because the article doesn't mention that he was a priest, so to avoid any misunderstandings I moved that image to the next section. Finally, I opted to put the images in chronological order.

I think readers can get a wrong perception about Pierre Rossier, it is not difficult to think he was a priest. Best regards, &mdash;surue&ntilde;a 11:46, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I saw your edit summary and agree with your reasoning, but I believe it's more important to keep appropriate images adjacent to the text that relates to them. There's bound to be a moment of surprise for some readers who think the image of the priest must be a portrait of Rossier, but I think it would only be a moment. There's an alternative, if I get a chance today to arrange it,... there's an image available of Rossier's studio plate (the "logo" that appears on the back of some of his photographs)... Maybe I'll replace the priest with that. Pinkville 13:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Great idea! I like the logo, and now the article is less prone to any misunderstanding. Great job &mdash;surue&ntilde;a 13:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Will the "logo" image appear on the main page in a few minutes, or is there more tinkering to do? Pinkville 13:26, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Wotcher, mush
Ooh, hello, Pink. Good to see you around.

Well, I've lost hours of what ought to have been sleep over an Icelandic saga. I now have to attend to the real world. But when I return, I think I might start an (Iceland-unrelated) AfD. -- Hoary 01:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC)


 * ...While I've been listening to Sigur Rós, oddly enough. I've also been trying to decide whether or not to go ahead on another biggish WP article, maybe expand Ueno, Yokoyama, Kusakabe, or add Shimooka... Pinkville 03:48, 22 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Strange. -- Hoary 09:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Ew... Uncomfortably odd. Brains used as blunt instruments... when used at all. And a surprising contribution towards the end of the page... How does this AfD get shelved after only two days, and what's that OTRS business? Pinkville 17:03, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Runcorn
Thanks for your comments; I like your sense of humour. Of course the extract from The Runcorn Ferry you mention is more amusing, but the town is so run down I don't want to add to its miseries any further! I like the extract I have chosen because I find its rhythm amusing &mdash; and it expresses a NPOV too. Thanks also for the edits to my bit on Stirling (it really was a social disaster - and I experienced it as a GP in the town). Peter I. Vardy 19:52, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your kind response. I'm happy to help out... I've been working on a project on Stirling, and since there's very little information on his Runcorn housing development I wanted to add at least a mention. It's interesting that, whatever Stirling's faults and errors in the project, it seems true that his brief doomed the project from the start. Apparently, it was the Runcorn Board of Development Corporation (that commissioned Stirling) that stipulated high density, prefabrication, the disastrous "heating" system, etc. Stirling should be blamed for willingly complying with the Corporation's social vision. Isn't it true that housing developments - particularly those designed for working class beneficiaries - are nearly always dreadful? It must have been an... enlightening experience for you working there!
 * I suspect you're right about the NPOV/not-rubbing-their-noses-in-it verse excerpt... Pinkville 20:52, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Sense of humour failure
Take it easy, old chap. --Thoughtcat 13:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, I get the joke. But it's a tiresome genre. Pinkville 20:13, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

WDM RfA
In your oppose you said, "I find it remarkable that those who oppose this RfA have brought together much evidence to support their decision, and further must defend their decision with yet more evidence and argumentation, while virtually none of the supporters have been compelled (either by themselves or by others) to provide evidence to justify their vote." I took this to heart and gave a brief description of WDM's actions to improve the parapsychology article and give some background on the situation that he worked us all through. Why, now that someone has brought "evidence to support their decision", do you find it necessary to reply to my comment without, strictly, addressing the contents of my statement? I would like to understand the opposition to WDM's adminship, and clearly we have seen him in different theatres, so I'm asking for you to share your experiences. Thanks, Ante  lan  talk  03:45, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * And I was pleased that someone said something in support of Wikidudeman that was evidentiary. Your experience with him, however, remains in stark contrast to my own. Which is the gist of my response to your comment. I posted a long description of my objections to Wikidudeman's potential Adminship, but I'll explain in more detail tomorrow if you like (it's midnight here, and I'm off to bed). Pinkville 04:02, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I've read over your comment on your experience, as well as some of your further comments, and I can understand your frustration. It's frustrating that we had such different experiences, right? I'm somewhat heartened that my positive experience was more recent than your negative one (that is, perhaps he learned from his experiences with you and others). It's been a pleasure. All the best, Ante  lan  talk  04:09, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I too hope he's learned. Best, Pinkville 11:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Your comments
Please move your comments regarding the change in the Titan article name down to the bottom of the talk page. We are tallying the number of people who support or oppose the change.-- Just James  T / C  11:28, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay. Pinkville 11:44, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

+2
Du vingtième siècle, mais je te propose Tamura Sakae et Tamura Sakae. -- Hoary 15:37, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * J'accepte le défi. -les défis! Je consulterai les références approprié à la grande bibliothèque... demain. Pinkville 02:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Root 4
Is this cool or what? -- Hoary 11:58, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow! There is so much one could say on the subject! Pinkville 22:36, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Globus Cassus
Greetings, Globus Cassus is up for deletion again, you assisted with assertion of notablity last time could you do so again? The AfD is here - Fosnez 12:52, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know how the AfD will go.. I suppose it depends if the deciding admin is a deletionist or an inclusionist. In any case, I have saved the contents of the article to my userspace, perhaps we can cite it more and replace it if it gets deleted. - Fosnez 15:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a very good plan. I'm a little pressed for time lately, so it's hard for me to do anything more than add the odd comment to the AfD... Not very helpful, really. I have access to the Globus Cassus book, and to a very large specialised library that can - eventually - provide some references, etc. But all this will take a little while... So I'm glad you've saved the content of the article. Till later. Pinkville 18:09, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
