Carolyne M. Van Vliet

Hi John, I was about to create an article on Carolyne M. Van Vliet, but notice there already was one that you deleted on 26 September 2008. You left a message saying "don't recreate without consulting me." Could you point me to the discussions where the reasons for deletion are given, so I can avoid the same mistakes (if any)? Also if there is a way to retrieve the old text and put it on my talk page or something, I can then see what was written before to save me time. CruftEater (talk) 02:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't remember at the moment, I'll look into it. John Reaves 02:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I need to e-mail you, please enable your e-mail via your preferences and reply here. John Reaves 02:39, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Done. CruftEater (talk) 03:37, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

John, are you alive? I have not received an email yet.CruftEater (talk) 21:48, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Barely. I'll send you one right now. John Reaves 19:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

John got your email. Please can you send me the original article so I can fix it up? Also was there a discussion anywhere that you can point me to find out if anything else needs improving? By the way the thing you pointed out in the email is actually true and well-known...but I'll leave it out if that's what is required. CruftEater (talk) 21:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

John, Ok, the article is now up again. I got rid of all offending pronouns :-) Hopefully it meets your satisfaction. Will dig up more references in time. Still am at a loss as to what all "the cloak and dagger" treatment is about as the article was accurate...if the pronouns were the problem, why didn't someone edit them out rather than deleting the whole article? Seems rather draconian. Anyway please confirm if u are happy or want anything else tweaked. CruftEater (talk) 10:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Sweet Grass map question

Where did you get the Sweet Grass topo map that's on the article? I'm trying to find USGS topo maps online, and I don't know where to get them. Nyttend (talk) 12:46, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I scanned the actual map (1986 edition). I'm not sure about an online source. John Reaves 13:16, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

O :-( Do you have nationwide maps, or just northern Montana? I'm curious about the coast of Humboldt County. Nyttend (talk) 14:52, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I have access to every USGS map produced, what specifically do you need (i.e. year, quadrangle, etc.)?

Whatever the current edition is of "Fields Landing" (not sure whether this is what you need, but I want the map that shows U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Pine Hills, California). Thanks much! Nyttend (talk) 15:06, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'll take a look either tomorrow or the next day. If you don't mind, leave me a reminder or send me an e-mail Tuesday or Wednesday. John Reaves 15:08, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

IT doesn't but it does give you partial copyright over any version with your watermark on since you hold the copyright on the watermark.Geni 17:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I will try and get the original uploaded. John Reaves 19:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

18xx in India categories

Yes I will, when I have time to go through the rest of History of India to add other cats. Maybe you could help to do that and add cats yourself. Ardfern (talk) 20:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, can you undelete this image? It was used on Veganism as well as on Vegan Society. I didn't see the image listed on WP:IFD anywhere. Thanks, Kellen^T 10:15, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

No, it wouldn't be a proper use of fairuse at veganism and I've already uploaded a better image to Vegan Society. The old image was used for companies affiliated with the Society, whereas the new image is the actual logo of the Society itself. John Reaves 16:45, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

-'''Monster Blood Tattoo''' is a children's/young adult's [[fantasy]] [[trilogy]] written by [[Australian]] author [[D. M. Cornish]]. It tells the story of Rossamünd, a boy unfortunately christened with a girl's name, who has lived his entire life in a foundlingery (kind of an orphanage) before he is chosen to become a [[lamplighter]] in a far away city. The book's action takes place entirely on the Half-Continent, a [[Dickensian]] world run by arcane science and [[alchemy]], and plagued with deadly (and not-so-deadly) monsters.

-''Lamplighter'', the second book in the series, was due for release in May 2007 but was delayed to Late April [[2008]] [http://monsterbloodtattoo.blogspot.com/].  On October 16, 2007, D.M. Cornish announced on his blogsite that the Australian and New Zealand version of Lamplighter had just gone to the printers.

-==Setting==
-The Half-Continent is the book's setting, a huge expanse of land bordered by ocean on its south and east sides. The continent, despite being thousands of miles across, is just one part of a larger world that has not yet been named in the series. The map of the half continent labels other lands across the ocean. The events of the book take place in only a (relatively) tiny section of the Half-Continent, and it is a testament to Cornish's world-building that many other places are named or alluded to within the story.
+IT doesn't but it does give you partial copyright over any version with your watermark on since you hold the copyright on the watermark.[[User:Geni|Geni]] 17:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
-The world of the Half-Continent is based around 18-19th century European culture, bearing some Dickensian traits as well as German influences. The key difference is the presence of a fantastic element. While there is no overt mention of magic, many characters exhibit magic-like powers that are attributed to science and alchemy. Also, there is the obvious existence of monsters - some natural, which differ from animals only through having sentience, and some man-made which are much more twisted and otherworldly than the natural kind.
+:Okay, thanks. I will try and get the original uploaded. [[User talk:John Reaves|John Reaves]] 19:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
+==18xx in India categories==
-Technology as we know it has been replaced in Cornish's world with a sort of blend of mechanical and biological machinery. For example, many boats and ships are driven not by oars or engines, but by living, mindless organs and organisms ''grown'' into the ship itself, which produce the kinetic energy required for the ship's propulsion, and must be "fed" nutrients and kept alive.
