Hello,

Thanks for the bugreport, it has been fixed, hopefully. Please check.

Could you check hu:user:grin/test with IE whether the transparent picture is visible and okay, and doesn't have a white border? Thanks --grin&#9998; 16:41, 2005 Jan 24 (UTC)

Criteria for speedy deletion
I noticed that you recently marked Edwin jefferson for speedy delete for vanity. Currently, vanity is not listed under Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, although this policy is currently being debated on its talk page. Zzyzx11 | Talk 18:29, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I just came across this and recognized your name.


 * "Lists look better with more than one entry."

Heehee. Now that's a keeper! In fact, I'm putting it on my list. Hope you don't mind.

Thanks for helping with the Aesthetic Realism article
Thanks for your effort to have some sanity in the Aesthetic Realism article. I have no need for the article to be cheerleading for my own position, and it's disappointing that the AR people aren't willing to accept a neutral article themselves.

I reverted to your version after they added a whole bunch more cheerleading today. Michaelbluejay 03:00, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

What next?
Zigger, your explanation of what was wrong with my paragraph was careful, and I see your points. What I am trying to do is to make clear the motivation of that particular group of people who have banded together for the purpose of smearing and, if they could, discrediting serious professional people (including me) by means of a torrent of lies about Eli Siegel and the Aesthetic Realism Foundation. Their motivation has a likeness to what impelled the medical establishment and press to attack Walter Reed when he established the Anopheles mosquito as the vector for Yellow Fever. It has a resemblance to why Lockhardt wrote horribly about Keats' Endymion--and it is like so many others who attacked important individuals that brought new knowledge into the world. I would like to stem these attacks so a reader would know what Aesthetic Realism is by looking in Wikipedia. If that is impossible, how would I get the category removed, shut down? The smoothness of Michael Bluejay in accusing me of vandalizing the entry in which I am quoted, and which I wrote a good deal of, is representative of the approach of this group. It was begun by an Ellen Mali, now of Colorado, whose son posted a crude piece on an anti-cult websited several years ago (he is Adam Mali, a restauranteur). The anger of the ego at meeting something new, beautiful, and, frankly, greater than one is accustomed to seeing--greater than oneself--has made scientific and artistic progress through the ages much harder than it needs to be. Leonardo da Vinci was made fun of by professors who did not believe his idea that the ocean once covered a mountain in Italy which had fossils of shellfish on it. (He was right of course.)

There is a long history to this attitude. I approach you not only as a censor of improperly written paragraphs but as a person who might help the truth be told without interference.

Hindu temples?
Hi, as far as I can tell, you started the Category: Hindu temples category. Do you know if it's meant to be for buildings which are now Hindu temples, or buildings which were built as Hindu temples? The issue's come up over the Category:Hindu_temples_in_Cambodia sub-category, which contains temples which were built as Hindu temples, but later converted to Buddhism. Therefore they are still "Hindu temple architecture", but not "Hindu temples". Any thoughts? Mark1 04:41, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

lots of edits, not an admin
Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) June 28, 2005 13:46 (UTC)

You may have a problem with your browser
One of your edits to MediaWiki 1.5 bugs replaced Cyrillic text with question marks, and broke links to Polish names. You may not have intended to do that. What browser are you using?Susvolans (pigs can fly) 1 July 2005 11:57 (UTC)

Image removal on Cronulla riot article
Hey mate, I noticed you removed the still of a news program of the valdalised car. I have one other as well which I thought would contribute well to the article, but I wanted to check why they break copyright laws, don't they qualify as TV/film screenshots. Cheers. smerc

--Got your message. I get what your saying, I might do a little more research into the matter. The second photo(still) I have is quite disturbing, it's not graphically violent but it would really capture the event. Hmm, so I'll see what I can do to some how get it in. Thanks.

LT
Merci.

Bra boys
The votes at the time of closing were 12 keep, 1 delete, and 2 merge, so I felt the result was going to be rather obvious. Per WP:IAR I went and closed the debate so as not to waste any more time on it. As I am not an administrator, if you disagree, I'll be happy to re-open it and restore the AfD notice on the article.
