There, that wasn't so bad, was it? And all this stuff is actually typed just for you by a real live human!

Thank you for your comments at Laurence Aberhart; I was starting to think maybe I was losing my mind or similar. I think Aberhart's on the up-and-up: the Oxford Companion to the Photograph mentions him. But the article certainly is screwy.

If you'd like well-informed relief, you might try for example Josef Jindřich Šechtl (it's pretty good and it's getting better). Damn, there are so many photographers whose work is worth writing up and don't even get a mention on WP. (I'm sure I possess twenty, more likely fifty, entire books by that number of individual photographers who don't have articles here.) But then again who needs boring old photography when there's Really Important Stuff to be written up? -- Hoary 15:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the great copyediting
Hi, I noticed that you have been doing some great copyediting, and was wondering if you knew that an informative edit summary helps other editors understand what you have in mind. An edit summary can be as brief as "copyedit". For this edit, something longer would have been helpful. I might have said, "where else would it fall off?" --Jtir 20:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Leading spaces
Hi, leading spaces produce the effect seen here. --Jtir 18:26, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
