I've updated. LeadSongDog come howl 16:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Dude, I spent a long time on that article, too long for someone like you to just come along and just immediately request to delete it. No need to be so uptight. SuzukS (talk • contribs) 10:43, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi APK...Customer advocacy is a new phenomenon - which is not wide spread. I have stared this concept along with the concept of angels and advocates, a path breaking concept for managing customer base. this biography page is intented to be the first of the series which will inculcate the knowledge of customer advocacy. So, I started the series with me, the creator of this concept. I belive that therefore it should not be deleted - Muthukrishnan Capt muthukrishnan (talk) 10:54, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi AgnosticPreachersKid! I just wanted to inform you that I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on Amy perez- because: there is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. decltype (talk) 11:30, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed this diff:. Could you take a look also at File:Zanthophylum americanum.jpg as well? (It was in the article, but for some reason the thumbnail wasn't working for me, and so I removed it when you posted the links to the other images. It would be nice for this to be at high resolution as well though. Maybe I can create a gallery or something to put these other images in the article.) LadyofShalott (talk) 04:15, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, thanks so much for your editing on the Ho Hum Records page, brilliant. Really appreciate your help, the logo size was a bit silly!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Foxhum1 (talk • contribs) 12:26, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi APK. I saw you added the seealso hatlink to National Register of Historic Places listings in the District of Columbia in the main Washington, D.C. article. Should this article name be changed to "National Register of Historic Place listings in Washington, D.C."? Note that the change would remove the seemingly unnecessary "s" and would bring the title in line with other articles about Washington, D.C. I thought I'd ask you because you're the NHRP guru! :-) Best always, -epicAdam(talk) 14:19, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
I wish I could upload this image to Commons and use it all over AN, AN/I and in most RFAs and RFCs - ALLST✰R▼echo wuz here 06:39, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
How can you classify Mixwell/Vhosts as vandalism? I was simply listing the vhosts i have on my shell for easy referrence. --Mixwell!Talk 05:17, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for reminding me. I did have it in the back of my head, but I thought they'd use the talk page to discuss. Clearly I was wrong. One article has already been protected to counter this, other related ones, however, haven't. I'd appreciate it if you have a look at my revisions, and the talk pages of the articles this has been going on with. Eik Corell (talk) 11:16, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your article updates. I'm watching, even if no one is talking :) I'm going to get busy with NC articles ... err ... sometime soon. - Dank (push to talk) 19:50, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Fallen_Empire:_Legions has fallen victim to what I can only perceive as vandalism now. I have discussed the reasons for my edit on the talk-page, I have already summerize my reasons in the edit box, too. Basically, other editors want a seperate section for the fact that the movement system in the game is different from that of its predecessors, where I want to add this info to the gameplay section, too keep the article short. So, I need a third opinion. Eik Corell (talk) 07:15, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for making a good faith edit to improve quotes, but WP:LQ is both the current guideline, and standard UK usage. . . dave souza, talk 23:00, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)
The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)
The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.
If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.
(You have received this posting because your user page indicates that you live in Maryland or DC. --EdwardsBot (talk) 04:10, 10 July 2009 (UTC))
for putting the DYK code on my page. I had actually tried to do it at one point, didn't get it right, and had not gotten around to trying again to do it. So I appreciate it! LadyofShalott 18:31, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
I've been expanding this one from a stub. Would you feel like grabbing any of the images from the PLANTS page again? I'd especially love that drawing of the foliage, since I've got a quote calling the leaf shape distinctive, but you can't really see what the leaves look like in the picture that's on there. LadyofShalott 18:46, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi long time- I appreciate your assistance in uploading photos sometime back. Since then, I've used the Flickr Bryan uploading thing for hundreds of photos. However, on one page, both myself and User: Tvoz found it compelling to email (MY crappy Yahoo account: leah2saints@yahoo.com) and contact Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam's camp for multiple reasons, but two primary ones are the utter non-existance of any GFDL BY-CC-SA photos other than the couple I begged off people there already. (The other, is that a huge, huge website full of 1960s-70's interviews from magazines like Melody Maker and so forth that no longer exist but were once nearly as influential as Rolling Stone -photocopied in entirety- went down, with a lot of references for our GA- ranked article and it's crummy song and album pages on him.. they're working on bringing up the site..) Anyway, that's beside the point. The real question is this: if I can send you, email, postal mail some kind of mail the photos given to me in email from his publicists free and clear, with the email, I suppose (I live in Hyattsville, Maryland now.. heck, I could bring them to your door if needed)- or if you have any idea of how to go about all of this, we need to have the two photos uploaded into Wikimedia Commons and you are really the only one I can think of to ask right at this point. Aleta, last I asked was not knowledgeable in such matters, and most other Admins. tend to blow me off. What do you think? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 21:50, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
In formal writing, commas usually come in pairs. See my style guide section User:Hlj/CWediting#Locations and follow it to the footnote #1, which has a reference to the Chicago Manual of Style. I think that it is likely you will frequently see singular commas in informal writing and magazines, but Chicago is the Bible for style and punctuation in serious writing such as academic papers, professional magazines, serious nonfiction books, and encyclopedias.

Thanks for signing up for the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Wikipedia stands to benefit from the improvements in the article space as a result of this campaign. This is a double reminder. First, the campaign begins on July 18, 2009 at 00:00 (UTC). Second, please remember to log any articles you have worked on during the campaign at Wikipedia:The Great Wikipedia Dramaout/Log. Thanks again for your participation! --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 21:56, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
Between this and the IP, I'm getting all kinds of love today. LadyofShalott 01:52, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Didja get my email? Pretty much I have maybe 6-10 wonderful photographers who will free up any photographs of stuff we need from their Flickr account. Sorry for saying GDFL, I was trying to quickly say images that are either "BY" or "BY-"CC" or "BY-"CC"-"SA" photos. When people with whom I have a good relationship with in that world don't have what a page here needs, I politely ask people there. For every single individual one. I am speaking now of going through all of that for like, hundreds of photos, you can see a bunch of them on my user page by name (the musicians' names whose pics I got and uploaded with the Flickr upload thing by Bryan, who no longer works with Commons and Wikipedia, so no wonder his Flickr to Commons uploader crashed for good. But I'm the type that can't even follow the instructions to set my alarm clock, so, now, I click, "It is another persons' work from Flickr after saving it to my computer, and after that, I have no clue what I am doing. Meanwhile, Cat Stevens' publicist mailed me two very needed photos and I don't know how to upload them. I'm obviously not a trusted user whatever that entails. So.. I need help! I know maybe 2 Admins counting Aleta who have ever really helped me, and my bi-Polar freaking out has probably come close to killing the other Admin by now. If I could upload a trout, I would beat EVERYBODY here with it, since I've been so frustrated over this BS! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 04:48, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
with a bunch of American sculptors - the articles of whom you have been ruthlessly removing crap from. For that I award you the seldom coveted Thumbs Up Award . Life is supposed to be interesting. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 21:03, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank you again for your support of the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Preliminary statistics indicate that 129 new articles were created, 203 other articles were improved, and 183 images were uploaded. Additionally, 41 articles were nominated for DYK, of which at least 2 have already been promoted. There are currently also 8 articles up for GA status and 3 up for FA/FL status. Though the campaign is technically over, please continue to update the log page at WP:NODRAMA/L with any articles which you worked during the campaign, and also to note any that receive commendation, such as DYK, GA or FA status. You may find the following links helpful in nominating your work:
Again, thank you for making this event a success! --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 02:18, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Oak Hill Cemetery Chapel (Washington, D.C.) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Art LaPella (talk) 03:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
About uploads to Commons from Flickr, if I have like 5 more really good photos for biography pages that have none, will you help to upload them? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 17:35, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
I've reserved a copy of Dissenter in the Baptist Southland: Fifty Years in the Career of William Wallace Finlator, and asked for an interlibrary loan of Our Heritage and Our Hope, a History of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church (1884-1984). LadyofShalott 17:12, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the pictures and category on Commons!! LadyofShalott 16:11, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Have you seen that? LadyofShalott 16:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
You snagged a picture of Coach Woodard. Yay! The fair use rationale makes perfect sense, of course, but didn't occur to me. LadyofShalott 04:58, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi, you have asked to delete File:Basilica of the National Shrine - exterior, east side.jpg because of a newly named commons replacement, however lots of articles are using the old name, so we need you to change them all to use the new name: File:Basilica of the National Shrine - exterior, east side.jpg so that there is no mess! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Sorry about this edit: . I clicked when I didn't yet have the pointer where I meant it to be. I've fixed it. LadyofShalott 15:37, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Whoops - sorry! I forgot to redo your line removal when I reverted. Apologies! Ravensfire2002 (talk) 22:18, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for that. I've filed Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bluemarine as a result. Thanks again. - ALLST✰R▼echo wuz here 06:36, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
Doing research for the articles on the Duncans, I came across this interesting tidbit: "With approximately 10% of the UNC Herbarium's 750,000 specimens catalogued to date, we have found over 200 specimens collected by Wilbur Duncan...Duncan collected over 30,000 specimens, often in multiple sets, that he distributed to herbaria around the southeastern United States..." LadyofShalott 02:09, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Something is wrong with this picture: French Wikipedia has an article aboutWilbur Duncan before we do, and Portugese WP even has a one-line stub before EnWp! LadyofShalott 02:27, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Hey, do you think the photo on that page would be fair use for Wilbur Howard Duncan? LadyofShalott 18:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

...OK, OK, I'm thinking of the puppies. Satisfied?
I may be a Republican, but I'm no puppy-murderer.
(I apologize for that joke...I promise you it's the closest I'll ever get to talking politics on Wikipedia. Until I run for president, that is...then it's every article for itself.) --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 02:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Gadzooks. this is what I did in Washington D.C. Not a Republican. (Sorry for butting in) Carptrash (talk) 14:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Love the article. I've even added to it, in your sandbox. I'm a sculpture historian (non-professions) and like seeing this sort of thing. Carptrash (talk) 16:55, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
I started a dialogue with User:RArt94 about what wikipedia was about and not about and I think that s/he got that edits that led back to (opinion) where s/he worked were very likely to be removed. He has not answered me yet. Meanwhile your poet statue Taras Shevchenko Memorial has got me interested. The artist Leo Mol studied at some Soviet school in Leningrad, then with Arno Breker . Do you know Arno? He was one of Adolph Hitler's favorite sculptors. That's quite a switch, from Stalin to Hitler. Then Mol studies in The Hague in 19943, which if I recall, was then under the Nazi's heel. Then he somehow gets to Canada. Quite a guy, or so it seems. Carptrash (talk) 14:07, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
So the name Leo Mol has been bugging me for a couple of days now, nag, nag, nag, nag, so I finally went wandering through my famous (in a very small pond) collection of sculpture stuff and just discovered a booklet from the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden in Winnipeg. Have not looked at it yet but I going to predict that the biography section will move lightly and swiftly over the early years. Life. What a place to live.
