Don't mention it. :-) You can get a great deal of help from a peer review. There's a couple of excellent reviewers who will help you turn this into a GA or even an FA. The article looks much better after your recent expansion, but it's going to need some work before going anywhere, particularly in referencing. Leave a message if you'll be needing any help, I'll be glad to lend a hand. Regards, Anas talk? 21:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Saw your note on this at talk:American Revolution... why not write (or at least start) an article yourself? You seem to know quite a bit about the subject. Blueboar 20:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Esseh
Unfortunately I'm going to have to disappoint you as others have done. Although I do have "naturist tendencies" I'm not involved in any organised naturist clubs/groups/activities (nor at present to I have the time or money to become so), so I don't have access to the models required (posed photography is also not my best). I would love to be able to help though, so I do appologise. My only suggestion is that you perhaps get in contact with a naturist organisation, perhaps British Naturism or American Association for Nude Recreation, if nobody here is able to help. Sorry I can't do any better than that for you. Thryduulf 09:45, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Regarding the photo, there has certainly more than one doubt expressed whether the said soldiers are muslim or hindu or most likely sikh. As u can see in this diff by another editor and also on the talk page of the photo. It is definitely possible that it could have been an error by the photographer or maybe muslims of punjab were also dressed like sikhs in that age. Unless we get a good source that says it's most likely sikhs we have to stick to what the photographer says for now. Idleguy 10:52, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Esseh - I like your take on race and color and language, but ... black people aren't black colored. They are various shades of brown. So if you really want to be consistent you should consider changing that. Cheers, Debivort 02:20, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
re: Battle_of_Arras_(1917) && this revert from this tighter version I was in mid-change on that template, and wonder whether your change was while I was trying an additional change to that (things broke for a moment) or whether you just don't like the position, as shown now or in Battle_of_Jutland, for example. For my part, our over busy right margin has needed a solutino for TOC positioning for quite some time. There are a lot of articles where we get unsightly half and even full screenful page lengths of whitespace with only a TOC interupting article flow. Hence, I'm trying to solve that. Your reactions appreciated. (Let me know what you're using for a browser too!) // Fra nkB 18:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Hmmmmmm - see nothing like that with my Netscape, also version 8.1.??? though. Do you generally zoom in tight or can you tolerate small text? Did see a zoom-in/out-ing problem with Firefox next to the Admirals, and alas, have temporarily lost some color in my attempted fix (at least I got the width back, with proper zooming!). Can you please elaborate on the "Long hanging "the"..." etc. with enough of the surrounding text so I can get a better certainty I'm looking in the right places? Thanks! // Fra nkB 21:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
re: Hi again, Frank. Checked the Battle of Jutland article again. I've still got that floating "The..." then the ToC, and "...German..." below it, for some reason. I wonder, would there be any way to set the ToC below the campaign box? If so, it wouldn't break up the text. Then, of course, you'd have to get the text to wrap to the left of it. Sorry, wish I could have given you better news. Esseh 07:23, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Got this too. (Ok, just checked. Whatever you tweaked, it looks the same (fine) to me. Go figure...! Esseh 02:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC))
re: Screenshots... Screenshot#Microsoft_Windows // Fra nkB 02:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Submit we need to revisit your experimental path with the new /div in place to see if there is a difference now. I'm going to rollback the page, add the /div, and then let you see what the effect is. The other thing is that I'd prefer the placement of the TOC to be higher in the intro so it impacts the mininum number of following sections. Email me direct, and we can trade screenshots assuming you kept your MS Paint.exe! (My email is in semi-plain language on me upper talk page) ttfn // Fra nkB 02:17, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
re: (The "British response" section below has crammed-up images, but I'm not sure if it's because of the major goosing we've been doing above, or if it was there before. Maybe something to look at after). Let me know how other browsers see it. Esseh 02:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Esseh - deep breaths now! I made a comment on the AfD, yes the article appears to be claptrap, and largely lifted off of other webpages. As for your earlier photo request - that's a toughy for sure. I'll ask among my friends if anyone wants to volunteer. Does it really have to be naked? Debivort 06:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello. This is the thread I promised to start about the article on woman. Feel free to vent about me, the article, the inappropriate images, and so on, here. If you'd like, I'll copy your posting verbatim to the talk page for woman without your signature, and delete it from here. Just ask me to "Post" at the beginning or end of your message, and I'll do that. Otherwise, I'll just leave the comments here. All the best. Esseh 06:17, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Actually, you don't really need to know how to say "Where is the bathroom?" in other languages. You simply come up to someone, clutch the groin area, and whimper. That tends to get the point across quickly (It worked for me in Frankfurt).
Climie.ca 20:33, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the image.
That will definately help.

Are you a member of the Canadian Military History Task Force? Because you probably should be, considering all of the help I've gotten from you. You should join.

I've moved the page - it doesn't look like there were any redirects that needed to be fixed, so you should be in good shape now. Carom 03:16, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Esseh, I looked through the images on the article more carefully. And the photos work great. I guess I just have a preference for diagrams for scientific articles. Probably some hangover from school text books or something. the amoeba and diatom are way better as photos than I'd expect a diagram to be. But I notice the fish image seems to be a created image, and I think that looks great too.
You seem to be doing a great job with what you have available - it's a real shame we don't have what you need. I've spent a few hours trawling through Flickr and a couple of other free image sites looking for decent nudes but have had no luck so far. I wonder if a museum would give one or if we could generate enough media interest ('cause they do seem to love anything with a hint of the salacious they can spin in some fashion) to get a public ask going. That might be a way to make an "ideal naked woman" statement achieve something for us. -- Siobhan Hansa 22:50, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Heh, well. I'll have to get back to you on that a little later on - I can't really look at the articles in question right now, as they're not exactly appropriate for my workplace...
First thought, though: the stub, as it stands, is not satisfactory. However, I understand the desire to avoid wholesale repetition of the main articles on the individual organs, hence the reduction in content.
I think a compromise can probably be brokered here, but give me some time to read the articles a little more thoroughly. Carom 23:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, I have solicited comments from the Biology, Anatomy and Sexuality Portals. That may help get a bit of input from some. Thanks again, guys. Esseh 22:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for looking it over! Your change to the intro -- maybe you saw this already -- that contrast is definitely what I originally meant to have there. I'm working on adding more content to the outline (on the talk page) on this draft: User:Madprime/Genetics. Many thanks! Madeleine 22:59, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
My edit to include histones in regard to scaffold proteins was primarily to serve as a bridge for readers between the 2 articles and not to fill the already cluttered page with information on scaffold proteins (as the article is about Genetics mainly). Was the deletion necessary? If so I understand. Pwnz0r1377 05:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I know its a while back but you may still be interested...
The source on the page gives the formation of the Lahore Division at the time of 2nd Ypres as follows:- Division - Major General H. D'U. Keary. - Ferozepore Brigade - Brigadier General R.G. Egerton. - Connaught Rangers. 57th Wilde's Rifles. 4/London (TF). 9th Bhopal Infantry. 129th Baluchis. Jullundur Brigade - Brigadier General E.P. Strickland. - 1/Manchester. 47th Sikhs. 4/Suffolks (TF). 40th Pathans. 59th Scinde Rifles. Sirhind Brigade - Brigadier General W.G. Walker, VC. - 1/Highland Light Infantry. 1/1st Gurkhas. 4/King's (SR). 15th Sikhs. 1/4th Gurkhas. Royal Engineers - 20 and 21 Field Companies. 3rd Sappers and Miners. Pioneers - 34th Sikh Pioneers. Mounted Troops - 15th Lancers.
As you can see it wasnt simply an Indian soldier / British officer type of setup. It looks to me the each brigade was 2 battalions of Indian/Gurka etc and 2 battalions from the home countries. Virtually impossible to flag in modern terms other than with the Union flag to denote British Empire. -- LiamE 14:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Blimey. I don't know how many times I've looked at this without spotting the missing "war". That's what makes it so difficult proofing your own stuff, you know what it's supposed to say so read that into the text. Thanks for picking it up: I'm notorious for doubled words, missing words etc. -- ROGER TALK 10:44, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
I looked at the French site for woman & it has a box of current women heads of state. I tried to cut and paste it into the English article, but in the edit box it appears in template form, with Two{'s atthefront and Two}'s attheend of a template.
Anyway, I have the fuller query at the Talk Page of the Woman article. Dogru144 22:55, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Greetings, Happy New Year!
I hope that you support the listing of woman leaders and the photos. An editor has opted to take them down. Hope you support the preservation of the list and photos. Cheers. Dogru144 ( talk) 17:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey, noticed you were online earlier (as the edit from my watchlist indicated). Just thought I'd give you an update on "the article". Since we last communicated in June 2007, Battle of Verrières Ridge has come a long, and I mean A LONG way. it failed its first GA in July 2007 (rightly so. Looking back on it, I'm surprised I had the nerve to nominate it). After some huge revamping of the article, it passed its second GA in April 2008 (the citation density having tripled, the POV having been eliminated, the sources having been broadened, & maps added). It looks to be on the verge of passing its A-Class nomination at the moment (voting closes saturday). I'm still extremely grateful for all of your hard work in helping to get the project off of the ground (those first two months.....difficult times). Just thought I'd give you an update. Cheers!

Thanks for your help in copyediting Operation Tractable. Cheers! Cam ( Chat) 06:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC) |
Thanks for looking over Totalize. Yeah, there are some serious issues with that article. Most of my heavy-duty work lately has fallen under Tractable, while Totalize has sort of gotten shafted to the side. Just a few things:
1: I've already put in a request at the Logistics Department to reformat the image to have the colour-schemes along the lines of those used on the maps in Battle of Verrieres Ridge, simply for consistency (I'd get EyeSerene to do it, but I've already overloaded him with graphics & review-requests).
2: As I mentioned on the talk-page in response to your concerns, I've got a two-week period coming up (after June 17) in which I have absolutely nothing else on the table. I should be able to do a huge rewriting of the article after that date.
Thanks for looking over it. Criticism is always appreciated & necessary. Cheers! Cam ( Chat) 23:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello- Thanks for the kind words about the edits. I see your point about rostral as cranial in a lamprey. Still (while I'm definitely splitting hairs pointlessly), one could argue that the cranium is caudal/posterior to the mouth even in a lamprey, implying that the rostrum extends beyond (rostral to...) the cranium. But this is a pretty useless point. Your edits have been very constructive and are helping to mold this article into what it should be. Please feel free to give me a Whacking with a Wet Trout if I become overeager in my edits... Getwood ( talk) 00:20, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Virtually impossible to flag in modern terms other than with the Union flag to denote British Empire. -- LiamE 14:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Blimey. I don't know how many times I've looked at this without spotting the missing "war". That's what makes it so difficult proofing your own stuff, you know what it's supposed to say so read that into the text. Thanks for picking it up: I'm notorious for doubled words, missing words etc. -- ROGER TALK 10:44, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
I looked at the French site for woman & it has a box of current women heads of state. I tried to cut and paste it into the English article, but in the edit box it appears in template form, with Two{'s atthefront and Two}'s attheend of a template.
Anyway, I have the fuller query at the Talk Page of the Woman article. Dogru144 22:55, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Greetings, Happy New Year!
I hope that you support the listing of woman leaders and the photos. An editor has opted to take them down. Hope you support the preservation of the list and photos. Cheers. Dogru144 ( talk) 17:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey, noticed you were online earlier (as the edit from my watchlist indicated). Just thought I'd give you an update on "the article". Since we last communicated in June 2007, Battle of Verrières Ridge has come a long, and I mean A LONG way. it failed its first GA in July 2007 (rightly so. Looking back on it, I'm surprised I had the nerve to nominate it). After some huge revamping of the article, it passed its second GA in April 2008 (the citation density having tripled, the POV having been eliminated, the sources having been broadened, & maps added). It looks to be on the verge of passing its A-Class nomination at the moment (voting closes saturday). I'm still extremely grateful for all of your hard work in helping to get the project off of the ground (those first two months.....difficult times). Just thought I'd give you an update. Cheers!

P.S. "gross disillusionment with Wikipedia", what exactly does that mean (what happened)?

Thanks for looking over Totalize. Yeah, there are some serious issues with that article. Most of my heavy-duty work lately has fallen under Tractable, while Totalize has sort of gotten shafted to the side. Just a few things:
1: I've already put in a request at the Logistics Department to reformat the image to have the colour-schemes along the lines of those used on the maps in Battle of Verrieres Ridge, simply for consistency (I'd get EyeSerene to do it, but I've already overloaded him with graphics & review-requests).
2: As I mentioned on the talk-page in response to your concerns, I've got a two-week period coming up (after June 17) in which I have absolutely nothing else on the table. I should be able to do a huge rewriting of the article after that date.
Thanks for looking over it. Criticism is always appreciated & necessary. Cheers! Cam ( Chat) 23:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Ping! -- ROGER DAVIES talk 04:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello- Thanks for the kind words about the edits. I see your point about rostral as cranial in a lamprey. Still (while I'm definitely splitting hairs pointlessly), one could argue that the cranium is caudal/posterior to the mouth even in a lamprey, implying that the rostrum extends beyond (rostral to...) the cranium. But this is a pretty useless point. Your edits have been very constructive and are helping to mold this article into what it should be. Please feel free to give me a Whacking with a Wet Trout if I become overeager in my edits... Getwood ( talk) 00:20, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
