[edit] images of letters

hi Crypticfirefly -- I appreciate your images of runes and gothic letters, they look very nice; you should, however, insert them into article text via templates (such as, say {{ahsa}}, or {{gothic a}}, and ideally announce their existence at Talk:Runic alphabet and Talk:Gothic alphabet so people know they exist), so that they may be easily replaced with unicode glyphs in the future.

[edit] Prince Popiel

Thanks for your help with expending the article about Prince Popiel.

[edit] M. Mustafaoğlu

The extra bio information I placed on the page was actually from Mr. Mustafaoğlu himself. Expatkiwi 17:29, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

VERY nice work on Wiki so far. Thanks so much! But how come you still have that ugly red link for your username? Could you please share at least some insights into your world/personality on your user page? ;) Renata3 04:50, 9 October 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Rainbow mythology

Hi Cryptic... Thanks for your comments; I think you've helped me clear this in my own mind. You're exactly right -- the phrase 'Rainbow mythology' seems to imply that there is a mythology OF rainbows. Obviously rainbows have been an important element in every culture's mythology and symbology, but there's not a unified 'theory' or 'explanation' of that factin either science or myth. (that I know of). In fact, creating one is what I think would be 'original research' about the article. I have nothing against rainbows, btw, expecially bridging ones, as a lovely symbol of the budding global Anthaskarana. That certain rainbow images have been nearly completely co-opted by a particular 'interest group' in the US is kind of a drag (no pun intended ;), but such is life.

Btw, I agree w/ Renata3's comments -- many experience 'pedians pass over comments from 'red users', on the theory that, if they don't know or care enough about Wiki to create a user page, why bother with them. Don't think either is the case for you. :) Eaglizard 12:58, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chicken on a raft

One of the things that I love about Wikipedia is that you can write a completely new article and, within a few miutes, someone will improve it. Having started up a Young Tradition article, I was delighted to see you have corrected my mistake in the title of Cyril Tawney's song. Keep up the good work! Bluewave 21:52, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image galleries

You have in the past commented on Image Galleries nominated for deletion. Most galleries are nominated because the nominators feels that galleries violate WP:NOT. The William-Adolphe Bouguereau gallery has been nominated for deletion (here). A proposal to modify WP:NOT is here. Please join either or both conversations and comment as you see fit.

[edit] "Rebecca J. Nelson" VfD

In response to your suggestion that I change my vote in the light of the additional info you've unearthed: you're absolutely right. Done. Thanks, Hillel 05:57, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rooney

I never saw the AfD, I made an editorial decision to redirect a stub contiaing no actual information to a related article. With increased scrutiny on bios of living people, unverified two line stubs aren't helping anyone. Also being the sick wife of a Governor is not especially notable, the details are better in his article unless she has actually done something to make her meet WP:BIO.--nixie 07:53, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/G-Men(Slang)

Could you please revisit and reconsider based on my comment on the AFD discussion page? - Mgm|(talk) 11:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Consensus

Good question. Usually if there's no overwhelming support for either side I will list as no consensus to delete. If one or the other is a clear winner then I'll list that as the vote. In reviewing the AfD I would have probably should have put keep, but the end result is the same. Ifnord 20:17, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion

You seem to have published a comment, meant for another user about an AFD, on the Esperanza talk page. What has probably happened is that you accidently clicked on the green e in the user's signiature. As a result, the message has probably not reached the intended user, and you should try again. Sorry about that. smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 16:48, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] truck

Your "Fuck truck" image is hilarious. It should have a loudspeaker playing porn-funk, and it should drive around residential neighborhoods like an ice-cream truck. --Allen 03:12, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

On Kahomovailahi, see my comment at Talk:Kahomovailahi Bucketsofg 06:24, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hell's Kitchen People Search: Heather

Hi, Crypticfirefly. I noticed you were trying to find the last names of the Hell's Kitchen contestants. It seems like Fox is purposefully trying to hide them for some reason. I've started trying to find them myself, starting with Heather. It's bloody frustrating. So far, I've found out that she's gay, graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and worked at the Paragon, in Seattle. But no bloody last name! Aaargh!

I'll keep looking. Ex-Nintendo Employee 08:39, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Charles Ranhofer, and thank you!

Thank you so much for turning Charles Ranhofer from red to blue! I kept meaning to do it, but never got up the nerve. The more I learned about him, the more intimidated I got about starting the article, so I never did. I've been away from Wikipedia for almost a year now, but I'm encouraged to come back seeing things like your contributions. Bless you. Mothperson cocoon 18:36, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
