[edit] == Vanity Fair (Movie) 1932 ==

Thanks for the good catch! I should have checked this guy's contributions, but got sidetracked. Lupo 09:55, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] All those Apologetics Index quotes

I realise that I have copied and pasted wholesale, but my intent is for me (and others) to build upon the work and quickly erase them when this is done. The Apologetics Index is the only source I've used and it is terribly biased. What I really wanted to do was to quickly create a whole bunch of articles that are important, rather than worry about their specific content. I'll cut and paste this to the forum you mentioned.

[edit] Wow am I glad you're here!

Katherine, we've run into each other at the corset article. I came to look at your user page. I'm glad glad glad that there's another woman here who's interested in clothing, history of costume, etc. There's so much work to be done! Wikipedia is seriously deficient in these areas. I've put a fair amount of work into the Clothing article, which you should check when you have time. It is full of stubs to fill out. Plus you might find some inaccuracies or more of my gnomic expressions needing expansion.

In my gloomier moments I think that the only reason men get involved in the clothing and costume articles is if they're fetishists. Grump grump. Zora 12:54, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Russian history

Hi, Katherine! I see you are interested in Russian history. How come? Thanks for making corrections in a few of my articles. KNewman 04:24, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image to you

http://haabet.dk/patent/Sketchs.html

http://haabet.dk/patent/People.html if you like to write about underwears. The images are from patents and patents are PD. Patents are original research of people from that time.

Category:Years_in_fashion Help me by extend this artikels.

[edit] images

Hiya. It's generally a good idea to add license information to images you upload (such as Image:Crinoline dresses 1860.jpg), so as people know where they're from, whether they're allowed to reuse them and so on. I'm guessing these are public domain, so {{pd}} should do. Regards — Kate Turner | Talk 14:37, 2004 Oct 19 (UTC)



[edit] Another article by Haabet

Katherine,

Haabet has written an article called Health corset, in his usual inimitable style. It's quite uninformative and biased. Oy. I am SO not looking forward to trying to fix it up and the fights that will inevitably follow.

BTW, I had a niggling feeling that there was an old article in Threads re women's shifts and after some online research, I found the citation and dug out my copy of the issue. 1987! Have I been subscribing that long? I feel old. It's in Feb/Mar 1987 and is quite interesting re history of costume issues. I think I'll order a copy of one publication cited (Cut My Cote, by Dorothy Burnham). Anyway, I now have a working pattern for a proper shift. Zora 07:12, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Oh #@$%@#%@#

Haabet is back, and has added an incoherent and incorrect sentence to the Tightlacing article. He is a LOON. Can we get him banned? <grinding teeth> Zora 22:27, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Gods, I want to beat him with something. The guy is driving me nuts. I'm at the stage where I am starting to think that every change Haabet makes on every article should be instantly and automatically reverted - that every single one of them is a net negative to Wikipedia. —Morven 12:43, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
I don't really think he's grasped the point of the Wikipedia, nor any Wikiquette. I resisted the urge to tone down my last post to the Tightlacing talk page in the hope of getting him to rethink the way he makes changes and what he adds. I'm not holding my breath, though!
- Katherine Shaw 13:35, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
Good work, Katherine. I've gotten rather too involved in the Islamic articles, and I've been neglecting the costume ones, but you've been doing yoeman (or yoelady?) work dealing with Haabet. Your revisions are good too. Thank you! Zora 12:23, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Undergarment needs you

I've been working on undergarment. It's still only part done and parts of it might be wrong. Please take a look, when and if you have time, and correct any mistakes I've made. Zora 08:46, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Haabet's VFD

I voted. I also modified the tightlacing article slightly to remove anything that smacked of POV. Take a look.

And I'll start the darn Victorian dress reform article. Aargh. Zora 10:20, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Patience

Katherine, finally got around to reading the print-out version of Corsets, and it is stunning. You have great patience, and it shows. The article is terrific in spite of the odds, which, well, we all go through that phase. I know I have. Wanted to tell you that it is was worth the trials and tribulations. Best Regards, allie 21:10, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Cathie Jung.jpg

Hi Katherine,

Are you the photographer of Image:Cathie Jung.jpg? If not, could you clarify where that image came from?

Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 14:41, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RfA support requested

You may recall that we worked on the same article (McMansion). I am currently soliciting support for Administrator status[1] and am requesting your support. Thanks, - Leonard G. 15:57, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
