Hi Johnbod,
Thank you for your recent additions to the miscellany article - they were great to read! It was always lacking slightly on the medieval front (this is not my area of expertise), and so I was very pleased to see someone else contributing to make the article better. Since you have obviously looked quite closely at the article, I was wondering whether you had any comments as to how it might be further improved - and specifically what, content-wise, I might need to do to it to achieve 'good article' status?
Many thanks again,

Actually I broadly agree with your revert. Mine was mainly prompted by your removal of the first para which referred to cloisonné, which is a vitreous enamel technique. I personally disagree with your point about enameled glass - since it is the enamel that is vitreous and it should not be relevant what the substrate is. Some practitioners refer to it as glass painting, others as enameling, names used to distinguish the technique from other methods of glass coloring and decoration. However, the text you deleted was of poor quality anyway. Plantsurfer ( talk) 08:48, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
Some time ago you had left some recommendations regarding the section on aniconism on the Muhammad cartoons crisis page. Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy#aniconism. I have finally had a moment to edit the section. I've simplified the claims a little bit, and cut some of the information because this is only supposed to be background to a page that is already getting longer than recommended. But I would appreciate if you have the time, and when you have a moment, to have a quick look and see if it satisfies your concerns.

Hi again Johnbod ( talk). I have an urgent message for you about your change to the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle page:
Thank you very much for your reply to me on my talk page. I thought I'd give you a chance to respond to my reply, but as it's been a couple of days now since my reply to your latest message, I think it's possible that you may have decided that the matter had been finally resolved, and not checked my talk page again. Please see my reply to you on there, as although it's clear that the fees for the main ('French') section of the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, (where pupils start at the age of three) are lower than for the 'British' section (where they start at the age of thirteen), I can't see any evidence that the French Government actually subsidises their fees (as I'm sure you know, the lower fees for younger pupils are not themselves evidence of a subsidy from it), and I think that that unsourced assertion needs to be removed as soon as possible.
I look forward to your reply there. Many thanks again. Zhu Haifeng ( talk) 20:43, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm wondering why you reverted all of my edits on this page. Here was your edit summary: "(rvt most - BE normally uses upper case. Other edits a mixed bag but on the whole not an improvement)". Could you please explain how corrections to basic sentence and paragraph structure mistakes aren't an improvement to the article? The structure was severely lacking before my edits.
I reverted your revert edit because you say nothing as to WHY the edits were not an improvement, and I am very curious as to why you or anyone wouldn't think that they are when they are non-fact-based, purely structural improvements (such as correction of super-run-on sentences, addition of commas where necessary, the removal of the word "but" that began a sentence (grammatically incorrect) and removal of excess information that is mentioned in other articles, such as Queen Victoria (the bit about her father dying) and the Bedchamber Crisis (the bit about the Ladies-in-waiting) as those pieces of information are not immediately relevant to the article and can be found elsewhere on Wikipedia). I realize that it's an article you started and wrote most of, and I give you all due respect for that, but I also think you should be open to basic structural improvements by other editors where they are clearly necessary.
And I do apologize if I seem agitated. I probably shouldn't have so hastily undone your revert edit without a discussion taking place first, but I was quite surprised to find that my edits had been completely reverted, not to mention the fact that not even one of my edits qualified as an "improvement" to the article in your opinion.

I just noticed your WP:NPA edit summary at Category:Historical painters; "blatently untrue - I see you prefer reverting to responding on talk!". I have no idea why you would even dare to use such an edit summary when I am the one that started the discussion at Category talk:Historical painters one hour before your edit (a discussion you haven't joined yet), and that I was the one that started the discussion at Talk:History painting, and that I had replied on my user talk page as well before you made that edit.

Any reason why you continue to make this more confrontational and personal than necessary?

Hi. There are, at present, no particular clear guidelines for religious material here, or, for that matter, guidelines for how to deal with ideas in general, particularly those ideas which might be accepted as true by individuals of a given religious, political, or scientific stance. There have been attempts in the past to draft such guidelines, but they have quickly been derailed. I am dropping this note on the talk pages of a number of editors who I believe have some interest in these topics, such as yourself, and asking them to review the material at User:John Carter/Guidelines discussion and perhaps take part in an effort to decide what should be covered in such guidelines, should they be determined useful, and what phrasing should be used. I would be honored to have your input.
P. S. Having been away for a few months, getting together some lists and whatever, I noticed that History2007 has seemingly vanished in the interim, which really sucks given the amount of effort and attention he gave to ensuring historical accuracy of content.

Saxons settled in the south of what is now England and left their tribal names in places like Sussex, Middlesex, Essex, Wessex etc. This was not the case in Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia and really most of the rest of present day England which were settled by other tribes. It's just a matter of common sense. Furthermore this is not an edit-war, as it is two (maybe three) against one, and who presumably have not read my inputs on the talkpage but just fancy a barney? Cuthbert's cultus may have been appropriated by the Kings of Wessex, and latterly the Norman and Plantagenet Kings of England, but the man is a Northumbrian through and through. As I have previously noted, I live about equidistant between two of Cuthbert's alma maters, those of Old Melrose and Coldingham, in the morning I look out of my window and can see his other one at Lindisfarne just a little further away on a clear day. No Saxons here, nor have ever been (apart from in various invading armies of the High-late middle ages), the Danelaw being a buffer for wholescale Wessex-isation of the North.

Hi Johnbod,
Thank you for your recent additions to the miscellany article - they were great to read! It was always lacking slightly on the medieval front (this is not my area of expertise), and so I was very pleased to see someone else contributing to make the article better. Since you have obviously looked quite closely at the article, I was wondering whether you had any comments as to how it might be further improved - and specifically what, content-wise, I might need to do to it to achieve 'good article' status?
Many thanks again,

Actually I broadly agree with your revert. Mine was mainly prompted by your removal of the first para which referred to cloisonné, which is a vitreous enamel technique. I personally disagree with your point about enameled glass - since it is the enamel that is vitreous and it should not be relevant what the substrate is. Some practitioners refer to it as glass painting, others as enameling, names used to distinguish the technique from other methods of glass coloring and decoration. However, the text you deleted was of poor quality anyway. Plantsurfer ( talk) 08:48, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Some time ago you had left some recommendations regarding the section on aniconism on the Muhammad cartoons crisis page. Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy#aniconism. I have finally had a moment to edit the section. I've simplified the claims a little bit, and cut some of the information because this is only supposed to be background to a page that is already getting longer than recommended.

Hi again Johnbod ( talk). I have an urgent message for you about your change to the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle page:
Thank you very much for your reply to me on my talk page. I thought I'd give you a chance to respond to my reply, but as it's been a couple of days now since my reply to your latest message, I think it's possible that you may have decided that the matter had been finally resolved, and not checked my talk page again. Please see my reply to you on there, as although it's clear that the fees for the main ('French') section of the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, (where pupils start at the age of three) are lower than for the 'British' section (where they start at the age of thirteen), I can't see any evidence that the French Government actually subsidises their fees (as I'm sure you know, the lower fees for younger pupils are not themselves evidence of a subsidy from it), and I think that that unsourced assertion needs to be removed as soon as possible.
I look forward to your reply there. Many thanks again. Zhu Haifeng ( talk) 20:43, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm wondering why you reverted all of my edits on this page. Here was your edit summary: "(rvt most - BE normally uses upper case. Other edits a mixed bag but on the whole not an improvement)". Could you please explain how corrections to basic sentence and paragraph structure mistakes aren't an improvement to the article? The structure was severely lacking before my edits.
I reverted your revert edit because you say nothing as to WHY the edits were not an improvement, and I am very curious as to why you or anyone wouldn't think that they are when they are non-fact-based, purely structural improvements (such as correction of super-run-on sentences, addition of commas where necessary, the removal of the word "but" that began a sentence (grammatically incorrect) and removal of excess information that is mentioned in other articles, such as Queen Victoria (the bit about her father dying) and the Bedchamber Crisis (the bit about the Ladies-in-waiting) as those pieces of information are not immediately relevant to the article and can be found elsewhere on Wikipedia). I realize that it's an article you started and wrote most of, and I give you all due respect for that, but I also think you should be open to basic structural improvements by other editors where they are clearly necessary.
And I do apologize if I seem agitated. I probably shouldn't have so hastily undone your revert edit without a discussion taking place first, but I was quite surprised to find that my edits had been completely reverted, not to mention the fact that not even one of my edits qualified as an "improvement" to the article in your opinion.

Ciao! Can I harm you and ask four your opinion at the n-th edit war started by the Teramo guy? Again, in my experience, there's no wikicomparison between my version and his amateurish one, but it's my opinion of course... Ciao and good work. -- '''Attilios''' ( talk) 21:33, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
As the only editor who remains active with more than three edits at the discussion my first successful WP:FA, Campbell's Soup Cans, I thought you might want to comment at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Drowning Girl/archive1.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 12:59, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi. There are, at present, no particular clear guidelines for religious material here, or, for that matter, guidelines for how to deal with ideas in general, particularly those ideas which might be accepted as true by individuals of a given religious, political, or scientific stance. There have been attempts in the past to draft such guidelines, but they have quickly been derailed. I am dropping this note on the talk pages of a number of editors who I believe have some interest in these topics, such as yourself, and asking them to review the material at User:John Carter/Guidelines discussion and perhaps take part in an effort to decide what should be covered in such guidelines, should they be determined useful, and what phrasing should be used. I would be honored to have your input.
P. S. Having been away for a few months, getting together some lists and whatever, I noticed that History2007 has seemingly vanished in the interim, which really sucks given the amount of effort and attention he gave to ensuring historical accuracy of content. You were working with him on the Jesus article, so far as I recall, and if you have any way to get his attention now, like maybe his e-mail, I would welcome his input here as well.

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.-- Smerus ( talk) 16:08, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi there
You recently participated in a move request for the Jesus' walk on water article. There was no consensus for the proposed move, but some suggested the new possible title of Jesus walking on water and I have reopened the move request with that as the move target. If you are interested, please contribute to the debate at Talk:Jesus' walk on water#Requested move 2. Thanks! — Amakuru ( talk) 13:02, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

..I meant the tag; not the references. I always think, why tag & not fix? Anyway, sorry about that. Victoria ( talk) 16:10, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
Two things: 1., I thought you were reverting me with your edit summary of "as it was" - that's why I apologized. 2., can we use this pic? Photo has a copyright. Hard to find anything by this guy, but I'd like at least one image. Thanks. Victoria ( talk) 16:24, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
You recently left a bizarre and libelous message on my talk page. For the record, you are full of it. Even if you weren't, your reckless and untrue accusations would, in a just world, get you blackballed from the site. TheCormac ( talk) 01:13, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

On 5 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Oxus Treasure, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Ancient Persian Oxus Treasure (armlet pictured) "has passed through places of evil repute and cannot have come out quite unscathed"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Oxus Treasure. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

I do not know what the sodding problem is here. Is it termed biting? The saint was born presumably according to the sources in the Kingdom of Northumbria which the article does state, an independent kingdom that reached at its height from the Forth to the Humber, that was settled by the Anglian people. Saxons settled in the south of what is now England and left their tribal names in places like Sussex, Middlesex, Essex, Wessex etc. This was not the case in Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia and really most of the rest of present day England which were settled by other tribes. It's just a matter of common sense. Furthermore this is not an edit-war, as it is two (maybe three) against one, and who presumably have not read my inputs on the talkpage but just fancy a barney? Cuthbert's cultus may have been appropriated by the Kings of Wessex, and latterly the Norman and Plantagenet Kings of England, but the man is a Northumbrian through and through. As I have previously noted, I live about equidistant between two of Cuthbert's alma maters, those of Old Melrose and Coldingham, in the morning I look out of my window and can see his other one at Lindisfarne just a little further away on a clear day. No Saxons here, nor have ever been (apart from in various invading armies of the High-late middle ages), the Danelaw being a buffer for wholescale Wessex-isation of the North.

Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Landscape with the Fall of Icarus (disambiguation) that didn't seem very civil. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Note that this includes edit summaries, such as referring to another editor as a "well-meaning idiot".
