I see that you erased your comments from the Talk:Dalmatian page. I suppose it's in reaction to VanTucky's erasing of the images you posted to the article. Personally I think s/he went a little to far by deleting your images without discussion on the article's talk page. I'm going to address that.
Also, to answer your question in the comment you erased from the talk page, what happened to the old discussions was that they got left behind when another editor moved the article back from "Dalmatian (dog)" to "Dalmatian" by using cut & paste rather than using the move function. Then another editor set up an archive page with part of the old talk page contents but didn't provide a link to it from the current talk page. When I set up the request for the cut & paste move to be repaired, I moved the rest of the old talk page to the archive and created an archive link... otherwise information might have gotten lost.
Lastly, would you mind restoring your comments to the Dalmatian talk page? Traditionally, when one wants to take back one's comments, one strikes them out, like so, by surrounding the relevant text with <s></s>. There's also a button on the tool bar above the edit window to allow you to apply that to highlighted text.
Hope everything is well with you, and you don't let this get to you too much. Remember, it's all just a bunch of bits on an ugly rack of computer servers down in Florida. — Elipongo ( Talk| contribs) 03:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Image:Black spotted female dalmatian.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:Image:Dalmatian black front.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[Image:Dalmatian black front.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 19:50, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:DSC 7911.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. – Quadell ( talk) 23:48, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
