Hi, Just to let you know that most maintenance categoreis are put in articles by use of tags for example:
{{ unref}} adds Category:Articles lacking sources (or one of its sub categories).
Also adding the category explicitly is counter productive, as it needs to be removed.
Thank you, from now on I will only add the template from now on, rather than both or only the category. I thought that the categorization was more important, while the tag only served as a "warning" to readers. This is much easier. Lithoderm ( talk) 15:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
You obviously know something about Inuit art, for which I am grateful. There is a huge contradiction in the first paragraph of the body -- did the Thule produce much art or not? I am not in a position to knwo which sentence or reference is correct. Are you able to comment or amend? BrainyBabe ( talk) 17:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Both cultures produced a great amount of art, but their productions are of very different character. The art of the Dorset is generally more highly regarded; I believe that this is because the Dorset produced many artifacts that have no functional purpose, but were rather for shamanistic use. The Thule were more practical-minded, and produced functional objects decorated with relatively uninteresting zigzag patterns. There are even examples of Dorset-created shamanistic objects (such as a straw for sucking spirits out of the possessed) that were reworked into functional objects by the Thule (a needle case, in the previous example). The nomads that the first paragraph refers to are not the same as the Dorset, which is currently unclear; these nomads were the pre-dorset or ASTT. Flying bears were a dorset motif, not thule, and were not masks in any case... I've been meaning to work on this article for a while, but it would be nice to organize a couple users who could collaborate. Maybe WPVA or WP:IPNA would be of assistance. Right now I'll take some of the obvious errors to task; thanks for the notice. Lithoderm ( talk) 23:55, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Odalisque with Arms Raised.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

Yes, I've already translated that part offline. There may be some gaps of a paragraph or two, like the part about genetic research on the Saqquaq - too many mile-long technical terms.

The only thing that seems to be still missing is those two sections
Is anyone working on the translation of those?

I've considering working this towards FA for well over a year, but have never been convinced it would be actually be possible. Everybody knows a little, everybody has projected a little misinformed preconception, and the FAC would be well, a shit storm; why is my interpretation not reflected. The talk page going back is a mess, despite the effort of yourself and others. I'm writing the articles on his paintings as a tester, just to get familiar with the sources and test the waters. Anyhow, the main Blake bio page as it stands is nowhere near GA; but if you ever do get some free time I would be likely be interested in sandboxing and spending a few weeks trashing it out to see what we can come up with. I know quite a lot about his drawings and paintings, but only a little about his poems. So I can cover bio quite well and the paintings comfortably, but after that I'm limited. Ottava would be a big help, but if were were to canvas wider I'm sure a few lit. people would bite. But it would be a massive, massive, project.

Lithoderm, thank you so much for your work on Friedrich, including new articles on individual paintings, etc. (Many months ago I suggested to Ceoil that he and I collaborate on Friedrich, and I am going to "imagine" that all the recent activity related to CDF ultimately stems from this suggestion ... It would be my best contribution to Wikipedia and to CDF's legacy. :-) As you're one of the editors fulfilling it, thank you again.
I have just started to look at the painting articles you added and I wondered why the odd infobox at Chalk Cliffs. Can I propose we not use the Chalk Cliffs on Rügen template? The idea is great, but my argument against it is three-fold: it is not a "matter of fact" that the staffage in the painting are the people linked to; two of three of those two people will not need wikipedia articles; and the template ruins the infobox display. Is that fair? Thanks, – Outriggr § 07:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

No problem - they're nice articles. HeartofaDog ( talk) 18:14, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Lithoderm, thank you so much for your work on Friedrich, including new articles on individual paintings, etc. (Many months ago I suggested to Ceoil that he and I collaborate on Friedrich, and I am going to "imagine" that all the recent activity related to CDF ultimately stems from this suggestion ... It would be my best contribution to Wikipedia and to CDF's legacy. :-) As you're one of the editors fulfilling it, thank you again.
I have just started to look at the painting articles you added and I wondered why the odd infobox at Chalk Cliffs. Can I propose we not use the Chalk Cliffs on Rügen template? The idea is great, but my argument against it is three-fold: it is not a "matter of fact" that the staffage in the painting are the people linked to; two of three of those two people will not need wikipedia articles; and the template ruins the infobox display. Is that fair? Thanks, – Outriggr § 07:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Anyway, 'Fun' is not a word I would use in connection with the Medusa, but I know what you mean. There are a tonne of sources out there, and it is proving very easy to write. I'm looking forward to your contribs, but to be fair college comes first. Dont slack and spend all you time on the computer! We're watching! Ceoil ( talk) 20:13, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi. No offense, but I really hate those crappy "you have a message" templates. But that's just my personal taste; apparently some folks disagree.... BUT.... would you please create a new section heading when you leave messages? Please don't put it at the bottom of someone else's thread, as you did at User talk:Ceoil. It disrupts the logic/flow of the conversation. Thanks. Ling.Nut ( talk— WP:3IAR) 03:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
