[edit] Leprosy

I've altered your question on the WP:NCH so it shows the link rather than the entire image. You might want to head back there to see how I did that. About the tag. There's a simple reason it doesn't work. {{fact}} is a Wikipedia template, while the image is stored at the Wikimedia Commons. I suggest you go there for help to find a template that tags it as missing source information (after trying to get the information out of the uploader). If they rephotographed it, chances are they know the book. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oscar G. Mason

This is looking like a very interesting subject. It's worth consulting the Wikipedia Manual of Style for a better understanding of the formatting standards, etc. that are used in WP articles. And for a (possibly) helpful comparison, you could have a look at Dürer's Rhinoceros and Pierre Rossier for an idea of successful Featured Articles in a related vein to the Mason article. Also, you might be interested in this Wikipedia Project on the History of Photography. All the best.

By the way, if Oscar Mason is better known as O.G. Mason, hadn't we better change the title of the article? Because the Union List of Artist Names is such a well-researched database I didn't question the original title of the article (i.e. "Oscar G. Mason"), but if "O.G. Mason" is better known, that's what we should use. Pinkville 02:02, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for all the contributions!!!

Yeah I know the article is still rough....I am new to Wiki mark-up. It is problematic changing the title of the article to O. G. Mason..........His name is easily confused with the anthropologist O. T. Mason and I know of at least one article that was credited to O. G. which was written by O. T. Also, the N.Y. Times obituary registers his name as "Oscar G. Mason." It is more of an honorific that he demurred......my impression of the man is that he was pretty self effacing. So, if you are Descartian than it should be O. G. but if you are Hegelian it should be Oscar G. I would argue that the spirit of Wikipedia is Hegelian. With kind regards —Cabinet of Art and Medicine 03:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
