The Photographer's Barnstar | |
For your time and effort in capturing some great photos of Ulysses S. Grant Memorial, I award you this Photographer's Barnstar. You made a good article better... and reminded me of some quality time that I'd spent there. Many thanks! Carptrash ( talk) 21:11, 2 June 2010 (UTC) |
In one of those misguided moments that we all ( opinion) subject ourselves to, I put all my slides of stained glass, including quite a bit of John LaFarge's work, in one folder. Now I can't find it. I don't suppose that you've seen it? Cute quackers. bye the way. Carptrash ( talk) 01:29, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Well what I am looking for is a three ring binder with a bunch of my stained glass slides from 25 years ago when I was doing pilgrimages to various people's works, including La Farge. If a mind is a terrible thing to loose, loosing slides is even worse. Your pictures should probably go to commons - making them easier to fond, Carptrash ( talk) 15:26, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Reading this, curiously, made me think at once of you and...SandyGeorgia. I should go link it for her. -- Moni3 ( talk) 14:21, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
I instantly thought of you. I don't know if this, this, or this is my favorite. So many choices, so many Kodak Brownies... - Tim1965 ( talk) 12:57, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
my picture of Paul Manship's "Dancer with Gazelles", with a better one. " We like change" (a household mantra here). Carptrash ( talk) 02:59, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Sunday I played in the 42nd Annual Hippies vs Indians softball game, and while I played okay we got out butts kicked 24 to 15 or so. As a result I can hardly walk now and would be a sitting duck for any lazer (or any other ) action. But go ahead, put me out of my misery. Carptrash ( talk) 02:06, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, APK! I am a babe in the woods when it comes to wikipedia compared to you, but see we sometimes work on the same articles, so just wanted to make contact, thank you (including a thank you for some photos of yours I've used), and wish you continued success! I do wonder if you ever take photos of people, in addition to buildings. I would love to have a photograph of some activity of Bet Mishpachah, to go with the article I just created (and to go with your photo of the building they use!). NearTheZoo ( talk) 13:33, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi again, APK!! Just wanted to say that if your friends at Bet Mishpachah are willing to take a photo or two, that might be the only way we'll get one for the page! I've been in touch with a few of the big mucky-mucks, who promise to get something to me, but nothing seems to be happening! They may eventually come through, but I really do think that a photo with people would spice up the page, since the building (DCJCC) is the only photo there now -- and that one is there thanks to you! Best wishes -- and congratulations on all your continuing good work!! NearTheZoo ( talk) 13:41, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the pic of Arthur L. Willards former home in Washington D.C. I wonder if I might ask a favor. Since you're in the D.C. area (I assume) would you be willing to check with Library of Congress or other sources for a photo of Willard himself, preferrably in uniform, that could be added to the article? I've done some online searching as well as e-mailing with the US Naval archive people and had no luck. Only photos are of Willard in a mass group and not very clear. The admiral was raised in my hometown, so I've taken sort of a special interest in this largely forgotten naval hero. Any help much appreciated. Sector001 ( talk) 01:15, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Thats AWESOME! Thanks so much for finding it and uploading. I owe you one. Sector001 ( talk) 04:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
First I apologize for the Newseum piece; I didn't mean for you to eliminate your photo. I am OK if you want to take it back to your original. Second, I was looking at Union Station, Washington, D.C. I don't know enough about HTML to correct the gallery section. On my screen it appears the photos are overlapping and I knew you could make the technical corrections. Thanks Karen Nutini ( talk) 15:09, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Hey, that link works now, I added it before i created the Spanish article.. Now im done with it.-- Vrysxy! ( talk) 05:12, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you removed the American Jew cat and said in the edit summary that you were removing Conservative rabbi cat. He is both, so I am re-adding. Hope that is all right with you, but if not, we should discuss. KeptSouth ( talk) 15:27, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for checking and approving Falling Waters State Park. The link in question works fine on the computer that I used to expand the article and it works on the one I am now using as well. I am going to leave things be. Thanks again. Dincher ( talk) 01:29, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey APK, I noticed your reviews of various article submissions for "Did You Know?" and was wondering if you could briefly check out my article, Mordecai Barbour, and give me some guidance as to what I can do to improve it for submission. Any comments or critique you could provide would be of the greatest assistance. Thanks! -- Caponer ( talk) 22:04, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
I've replied about the sourcing issues for this article at T:TDYK. Thanks for the review! Nyttend ( talk) 23:53, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I do not wish to suffer The slings and arrows of your discontent. I will therefore not propose a DYK hook for Little Thetford again. I have now read the rules. I am in the process of creating a new article in my user space. The article is currently 3,448 bytes long. It will grow to be around twice that within the next few days as I continue my research. The article is similar in topic, but different in prose style, to Dunaverney_flesh-hook. In particular, I hope to broaden the subject by including more detail as I find it. I have also sourced an image of the artifact. I am waiting for the image to be cleared for copyright and then uploaded into wikimedia commons. As you can see, I am not sure when I can complete the research to make this article a nice article for DYK. This is why I have created it in my user space. I hope this does not break any rules I have missed. Also, I am slow at verifying my research material :(
To cut a long story short, would you object to me (eventually) creating a DYK:hook for Little Thetford flesh-hook?
-- Senra ( talk) 17:00, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
I've significantly expanded it and referenced the hook. Thanks :) – Tommy message 16:16, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
What a little turd this person is! I was working on an article about a wilderness study area in Montana, which can see I started on June 27. This little thief came along on July 2, and stole that article off my Talk page!!! He even it with incomplete sections and errors still intact! I can't believe it! He didn't even bother to rewrite any part of it! I am appalled! (Note that I completed the article today and tried to create it, only to find — to my astonishment — it had already been created, and that little pinhead had stolen it.) What a rotten little so-and-so! - Tim1965 ( talk) 00:27, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

This is an interesting article and not spam as the title might suggest. It is very short but so entertaining, I will nominate it for good article. Passage will require some work, though.
I am curious to what happened. See http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Diego%27s_Hair_Salon&action=historysubmit&diff=369133288&oldid=253747104 What did you do? Did you change the name of the article? Or was there garbage in the Diego's article that was hidden for 2 years? Suomi Finland 2009 ( talk) 15:15, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello again. I wondered if I might ask a favor? I have just set up Mizabot to archive my talk page, which had gotten ungainly. I wondered if you might have a look and tell me if I've done it properly? Many thanks and enjoy your holiday. MarmadukePercy ( talk) 13:26, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
A British editor changing date formats on an American-topic article is extremely annoying. If I tried the same thing, on say, 7 July 2005 London bombings, the Brits would be screaming bloody murder. Today is July 9, 2010; not – gag me – 9 July 2010. USA, USA, USA!! APK whisper in my ear 13:34, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
