Yeah, sorry about that, that was a mistake. That anon IP had made most of the info in the box set beneath one another with the <br> so I reverted it, accidentally also reverting your work. My apologies. Kusonaga 09:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem at all. Thanks for clarifying. --Celithemis 09:31, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I just noticed... thanks for reverting that attack [1] on my user page. Funny guy; he actually took the time to edit a second time to add his signature. Anyway, thanks for the support. --Graham^talk/mail/e 17:51, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Liane de Pougy postcard.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Liane de Pougy postcard.jpg.

MoMA links on van Gogh page

I appreciate your insight on the best way to use external links on the site. Although, in general I think providing external links in an article gives the user more opportunity to explore the topic. Jmaldonado 04:39, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed that on some artists' pages there is a subsection of "External Links" for "Museums". I think this is valuable for the user because can they can see at a glance a list of museums that house works by the artist. Would you consider it appropriate/useful to create such a subsection in the External Links of the van Gogh page? Jmaldonado 02:50, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

expatriate

Where can I see the peer review of Natalie Barney in which the word "expatriate" is considered confusing? I hate to see articles dumbed down in order to gain an "improved" status! - Nunh-huh 11:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was a Wikiproject Biography Peer Review. The expatriate article led a reviewer to think she had something to do with the Lost Generation (which she preceded). I figured that since the sentence already said she was an American who lived in Paris, "expatriate" could be taken as read, though it is used further down in the article. —Cel ithemis 11:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the review at that link, only a link to the article. I think it's better with expatriate there, and I'm not sure why one reviewer's mistaken assumptions should militate against it, but I'd be interested in reading the original comments. It's obviously not a big deal, but... - Nunh-huh 11:37, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's strange, the link works for me. Try Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review? —Cel ithemis 11:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I was misled by the peculiar use of headings there. I see it now. I think wikification and retention of the term would be a better answer to Electrawn's unfamiliarity with the word. It's not clear from his comments that he understands the term even at the time of writing. - Nunh-huh 11:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough; I'm happy to be emboldened to restore the original version, which did sound better. —Cel ithemis 11:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yippee! - Nunh-huh 12:00, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for the barnstar! Even the computer is blushing. Keep editing with integrity, JNW 00:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And thank you again, this time for your supportive remarks. You need not feel at all responsible for this little imbroglio: your encouragement may have emboldened me to edit where I had not before, but it was, of course, my decision, after all. Any circumstance that prompts some reflection, and humility, can't be bad. Still, it is difficult not to be partial to one's own edits. Your explanations of the technicalities of appropriate links are way over my head--let's just say I'm a country painter who is spending way too much time at the computer. And again, thank you.

Augustus John

I am waiting for you now to add the pics as previously agreed...and also please take a look at the changes I made to the Gwen John page with a view to converting some of the better links into pics to embellish the article. That would be great if you could oblige. thank you Peter morrell

Thanks, you made a very decent job of that, which is much appreciated. This article is now superb in my view. kind regards 86.112.229.50 21:29, 31 October 2006 (UTC)sorry I was not logged in! Peter morrell 21:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gwen John

Many thanks for adding the pic but I think the pictures The Convalescent and The Precious Book are extremely fine examples of her work and these would greatly embellish the article if you care to do that? I also have more text and quotes to go in to the article in the near future when I get the time. thanks again Peter morrell 17:27, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, you have done a very nice job, as expected. I will also try to add some text as time permits; regards. Peter morrell 06:19, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if I might prevail once again upon your image insertion skills? There is a nice pic of Pissarro's grave at Pere Lachaise [2] I wonder if it could be added to the article...it is mentioned in it. Thanks in anticipation. Peter morrell 09:57, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Showoff!

As I was looking up the shortcut to Wikipedia:No Original Research by preparing to revert someone's cut-and-paste of their high school paper into the William Blake article, you stole my revert! I guess it never occurred to you to put a brief note on the talk page of any past contributor to an article before reverting an obviously-broken contribution so that we'd all have a chance to revert it. Wikipedia is going downhill so fast, these days... :-)

So sorry -- I'll try to be slower next time!

That same IP inserted big blocks of text copied from websites into the Delacroix and Goya articles as well -- along with a few random bits of tagging like "Victor Li is so cool".

... and since you have a clue, here's a random question for you: I added an in-line comment warning people away from making random edits to a frequently-vandalized section of an article. Is this a good idea? Here's the diff: [3]. There's no controversy or anything, I am just trying to understand best practices.Strom 02:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've never seen that done specifically to deal with vandalism, but people have used HTML comments to try to ward off spam in external link sections, so it seems worth a try. I can't think of any policy it would violate, anyway. If it works I might try it myself on a page or two. —Cel ithemis 03:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

El Greco

Thanks a lot for all your detailed comments on the article. I tried to implement most of your suggestions (and I'll keep working on them), but, I also left some comments (including further questions) in response of your remarks in Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review/El Greco. You might be interested to take a look. Once again thanks a lot both for the review and the copy-editing.--Yannismarou 13:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JS reviewer

Hello Celithemis, I just edited your monobook.js to replace the coding from the PR script with {{js}}. This allows for me to keep track of who is using the PR script and to let you use the most recently updated revision of the script (well, at least since the last WP:BYC). Thanks, AZ _t 02:39, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New article how?

Can you please tell me where in wiki the 'start a new article' help page is located? I have searched for hours without success. If you know, then please point me in the right direction. many thanks Peter morrell 15:40, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, thanks so much for your help! I did eventually stumble upon the 'start a new page' thing but I was searching for the wrong rubrics and really I think wiki should have thought of people trying to home in on that page via other words like 'make' or 'write' or 'new' all leading hopefully through the wiki maze to the 'start a new page' Mecca! Oh well, a lesson learned. Thanks also for the advice about tagging. best regards Peter morrell 21:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

I know you were just doing routine vandal patrol. Still, thank you so much for catching the vandalism to the Langston Hughes article.TonyCrew 03:04, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gluck (Hannah Gluckstein)

There seem to be references on the internet to Hannah Gluckenstein as well as Gluckstein. I had made an article for "Hannah Gluckenstein" then noticed yours. I have assumed that you are correct and have redirected my article to yours. Have also made an article Hannah Gluckstein with a redirect to yours and entered the name in the disambiguation list for Gluck (disambiguation)

Nope, my namesake is 100% Anisoptera :) Damselflies are slenderer, though the body's mostly covered by the wings in that photo. —Cel ithemis 22:55, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gluck

I am not sure how much of the info. I entered is correct as I got it from glbtq.com, so I won't put any of it there. Sorry, In missed you point about the name, on the discussion page.

I am scanning in The Well of Loneliness for Project Gutenberg of Australia and the cover (a detail from Medallion by Gluck) attacted my attention. Hence my interest in her. I have recently posted The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas at Project Gutenberg of Australia. I notice your interest in these, from your page.

Authors who died before 1955 and whose work was published during their (his/her) lifetime are public domain in Australia. Unfortunately, as a result of the Free Trade Agreement with the USA, our copyright law was recently changed and authors who died in or after 1955 are still copyright until at least 2025! Stein's The Making of Americans is eligible but, at 900 pages, is more than I could bear to scan and proof.

The cover of the Well contains most of the painting shown at the link you gave me. I found the androgynous nature of the subjects very intriguing. I saw in an article about J. Lyons and Co. that there was an external link to here, and that there didn't seem to be a JOSEPH GLUCKSTEIN at Lyons, so that leaves another question mark about my source. I won't do any more to your article. My original intention was simply to ensure that there was something at Wikipedia about the interesting Gluck. You had already achieved that!

I don't know much about the technical aspects of Wikipedia as I spend most of my spare time with Project Gutenberg of Australia. For mine, you can add a "bar" to the "The Barnstar of High Culture" already awared to you.
