Hi, I thought I'd alert you to the fact that the image for one of your articles is erroneous. I'm not that proficient in Wikifiddling with images — I don't know whether you want to just revert the revert (that ain't my war to be starting), or retrieve it somehow, or re-upload — I just thought I'd inform you of it anyway. Yohan euan o4 ( talk) 11:15, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
...to bother you, but I need your help with an image. Again. :-P You see, I've began translating the Vin Packer article, and it'd be great if that image was available at Commons. *Hint hint* Maybe I could persuade you with my special brew of eggnog? ;-) Raystorm (¿Sí?) 15:43, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
I'll follow the Wiki Biography rules. Also, I see you're not a clown lover; my phobia is vantriliquist puppets. I'll never have one in my room, while I'm sleeping. GoodDay ( talk) 18:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Could you please forward the permission e-mail to permissions@wikimedia.org. Thanks. / Lokal _ Profil 19:06, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey Moni, no matter what opinion you ultimately form, I appreciate that you asked for more info about asexuality rather than just dismissing the issue out of hand. Thanks for that! :) Aleta ( talk) 20:02, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Ha! No problem at all! Thanks for all the translations. Is there more booze than egg in my nog? It will truly be a merry Christmas if so... I should reciprocate with a bowl of Christmas grits or something... -- Moni3 ( talk) 13:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I would just like to clarify your revision to my edit to To Kill a Mockingbird.
Please explain how "tragedy", or any other one word... word, for that matter, can possibly fit this description. Wizard of Yendor ( talk) 22:45, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
County is capitalized when it is the name of one county. Broward County, Miami-Dade County, Alachua County, but when they are strung together, it is not capitalized, e.g. Broward, Miami-Dade and Alachua counties. The same rule covers things such as streets, e.g., First Street, Second Street, etc., when combined become First and Second streets. Former English teacher clariosophic ( talk) 03:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Moni3 - I see you have done a massive amount of work on this article in the last few days. In general I think it is well written and indicates you have done a lot of research on her life. There is one point that I feel is controversial - the reference to her sexual activity. I would like to see this omitted. I think it is unnecessary and inappropriate. GroveGuy ( talk) 19:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
I have been thinking about this situation over the last couple of days. While I still feel it is inappropriate I want to try to have an open mind and I will try to look into your sources. I see you favor Grunwald. I have just bought a copy of The Swamp. While I do not think that much of Klinkenberg I will look at his article too. Meanwhile, I have fixed a couple of errors and put up a much nicer picture of the book. GroveGuy ( talk) 09:28, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Moni3 - Wow. I am impressed by the amount of work you have put in on this MSD article. I have a couple of things that I think should be added - but maybe you could fit them in better than I could. These are things that I can’t document completely. Want to do more research ? (1) University of Miami. She taught occasional writing courses in the English department. She founded the Friends of the University of Miami Library and was its first President in 1960. In 1960 she was appointed Editor of the University of Miami Press. In 1964 she reached ‘mandatory retirement age’ and was replaced. [Tebeau. University of Miami. Coral Gables: University of Miami, 1976]. (2) Fairchild Tropical Garden. She was one of the founders (? instigators ?). Rich and famous people lent their names and money to this institution. But somebody had to do all the work. Guess who that was. From its founding until at least 1947 she was the Secretary of Fairchild Tropical Garden. Also, beginning in 1945 she started and was the editor of The FTG Bulletin until 1950. [Wait. Fairchild Tropical Garden. New York: Ronald Press, 1948 and Zuckerman. The Dream Lives On. Miami: Fairchild Tropical Garden, 1988.]. (3) In the ‘60’s she ran her own publishing house. It was called Hurricane House. The earliest publication on ABE I can find was SPONGE PIRATES AND OTHER FLORIDA KEY STORIES (1962). The last was PLANTS POISONOUS TO PEOPLE… (1971). I think I remember someone told me she established Hurricane House in order to bring EVERGLADES back into print. GroveGuy ( talk) 06:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Please see Talk:Birmingham campaign#Images for article for my responses. Hope that helps! Carcharoth ( talk) 12:35, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey there! Many happy wishes to you as well. I indeed got four original copies of Ann Bannon's books, including The Marriage, which I have never read before because it's not ever been reprinted. (I get to go have her sign them in February! Yay!!) Feliz Navidad! Let me know if you get something really good. :) -- Moni3 ( talk) 19:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks so much (I'm dan14lev on deviantart btw) - Those are some good points that I will definitely address. I told myself I would fix the {{fact}} before I submitted it, but I forgot. What should I do now, because I'm about to leave my computer and won't have time to fix it. Could I put the nomination on hold myself, or should I remove it? -- Dan Leveille TALK 06:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Patience (George Michael album) cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 19:06, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your note. As we're still in the infant stages (my students do not even return to school until tomorrow), I'm not sure how much help we could be to you with your author, but I know we could certainly use your help and guidance. At the talk page and history of TKaM, I noticed that you were a driving force in bringing that article to GA status. We could certainly use the input from an experienced and talented editor such as yourself. My students will be working mainly in userspace for a bit, and editing only to revert vandalism and add minor changes in the project space until they get a real feel for what they are doing. We'll workshop their articles in their user space until we feel they're ready for the project, when we'll upload them in their entirety. We'll mainly be working on improving the articles of our favorite booksa and authors if they have one already, or adding articles for those that do not. Does this sound at all interesting to you? If so, we can perhaps work on starting a project along those lines. Regards, Bellwether B C 22:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Happy New Year, Moni3! It's been a while since we last contacted each other (at Talk:To Kill a Mockingbird), but I thought I could solicit your assistance. I've submitted two articles for peer review, and thought that you might be of some help in critiquing them:
I value your input. Thanks. — Cinemaniac ( talk • contribs) 18:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
You know, I considered that; I'm so impatient to get any kind of feedback, but I wasn't sure if I could sign up for multiple peer reviews at once. From your experience (since you've done this more times than I have) do you think it would get more attention there than at the regular PR? If you think it's worth a shot, you have my full permission to put it up. Just send me the link. :) María ( habla con migo) 15:13, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
If you get the chance, would you review the Newsletter? Especially since you're mentioned. Thanks!!! -- SatyrTN ( talk / contribs) 15:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree with all but two of your recent changes. Scout is not quite 6 years old when the story begins (unless I'm remembering it incorrectly), and Atticus and Heck know that Boo stabbed Ewell, but they choose to let the community think that Ewell fell on his knife, to protect Boo from scrutiny. I don't know that "let it be known" is the best wording, but isn't that better than the current alternative? (Thanks for all the work you did getting this to GA, by the way!) -- Bellwether B C 20:49, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
David Leavitt I think. You go to the University of Florida, don't you? Zigzig20s ( talk) 15:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
It was not vandalism. There are only a few pages using the width
parameter for {{
archives}}, which I am attempting to remove. I did not see anything that required the box be that width, so I did not see a problem in changing it. Is there a reason it has to be that size?

On 26 September, you made a request to the League of Copyeditors for a copyedit on Ann Bannon. Because of a heavy backlog and a shortage of copyeditors, we have been unable to act on your request in a timely manner, for which we apologize . Since your request, this article may have been subject to significant editing and may no longer be a good candidate for copyediting by the League. If you still wish the League to copyedit this article, please review this article against our new criteria and follow the instructions on the Requests page. This will include your request in our new system, where it should receive more prompt attention. Finetooth ( talk) 22:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I've started a discussion of the recent uproar here.
