Successful editing
Hi, RRKennison!

Noticed that you've been adding pics here and there.

A few guidelines


 * Read the article and take on board what the article is about before you add anything, written or pictorial.
 * No article can attempt to say everything about everything.
 * Some articles are very specific, one movie, one painting, one aspect of the life of a honey bee.
 * Some articles are very wide in their coverage. Eg. The Solar System, Shakespeare's plays, Gothic architecture.
 * Some sections within an article are quite general and some sections are most specific and very carefully worded and constructed. Any change you make can seriously alter the meaning.
 * just because you know a thing, doesn't mean its the right info to drop into a particular paragraph.
 * just because a topic is mentioned doesn't mean it's time to tell the lot. The particular topic may be a passing one, or an example mentioned within another topic.

Bad editting
 * The organ in the left hand gallery of the cathedral was built by Hill. There is a concert with a guest organist on the third Tuesday of every month. The organ in the right hand gallery was built by Smith and extended by Walker in the 1860s. Both are played from a manual near the choir stalls.
 * Leonardo is famous for his study of botany and anatomy. The Last Supper recently underwent a major restoration. He left numerous notebooks detailing his work in these fields.

In both cases the information is useful. In both cases it interrupts the flow of a paragraph that is concerned with a different matter.

So to be specific:- in the article Stained glass - British glass, 1811-1918, the topic is very wide, not quite as wide as the article called Stained glass but very nearly, because it gets into a great deal more detail.

There was a list of Influences. The Arts and Crafts Movement was one of the sub-headings under the list of influences. Not an Article on the Arts and Crafts Movement. Not an article on Burne Jones. It was one heading under the subheading Influences. Definitely not the place to insert a gallery dedicated to the work of one artist in one church.

I had no choice but to delete your whole edit because it was compltetely off the topic even though the name of Burne Jones had been given a significant mention.

You would have seen, if you looked closely that there was a gallery from a particular church. What did it demonstrate? It illustrated the fact that in one small building one might see the work of 8 different designers and windows that were composed in 8 entirely different manners. It was carefully selected as being typical.

Please take your beautiful Burne Jones pictures and and create a gallery on the Burne Jones page, but don't add them to the Stained glass page which is well over the legal length.

Stucco etc.
Thanks for your recent articles on the Bavarian rococo! I had started to chip away at this a while ago but got distracted. --Javits2000 20:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

A quick addendum: please, when you create / edit an article on a German artist, and especially if you're substantially basing it on / translating an article from the German Wiki, give a link to the German version, e.g. Johann Joseph Christian & do the same for the German article, e.g. Johann Joseph Christian. I've just gone through and added these for a few of your recent contributions, although I can't claim to have been comprehensive. Best, --Javits2000 12:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Green Man image on Court Jester page
Hey, I notice from the previous poster that you've been putting up some pictures, I suppose. What bothers me is the image you uploaded to the "Jester" or "Court Jester" page. I am an avid student of various mythologies, and it's painfully obvious to me that your picture is actually of a Green Man, not a Jester at all. Any head with leaves coming off of it, especially cavings of the "foliate head" variety, are Green Men. I ask that you please remove your picture, and perhaps put it in the gallery on the Green Man page. There are a couple Jester images in wikipedia commons that can be used in place of yours quite successfully.

Hi there, RRKennison, and thanks for developing a detailed biography of Ada Bampton Tremaine. I see that you have also worked on other biographies of women in the past. If you intend to continue along these lines, you might find it useful to become a member of WikiProject Women in Red where are striving to improve the coverage of women on Wikipedia.
