[edit] What's up?
I just saw your edit to your user page. What's happening? Please feel free to respond here or on my talk page. I think you're too good of a contributor for us to want to lose if we can avoid it. John Carter 15:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- I've noticed the tendency for people to revert or want to delete as well. That's one of the reasons why I put the recent changes function on my user page, so that I can see whenever someone wants to delete something I created. I've had one category, Category:Renewers of society, already deleted by what struck me as being insufficient cause, particularly as the work of populating it is still incomplete today. With any luck, things will be quieting down on the deletion front sometime soon. There is also at least one proposal out there which would give the content-related projects some greater influence in deletion and similar matters in the future. I personally am anticipating that with great pleasure. In any event, I'm glad to see that you haven't completely retired yet. Should a similar move to delete something happen to you again, make sure to let the rest of us know. I can't guarantee that everything will turn out the way you or I want it to (I wish I could, though), but we should be able to at least minimize the damage created in such instances. It is heartening to see that you haven't retired completely. John Carter 16:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- No objections to leaving if you see fit. But it might be possible to get the work reinstated anyway through deletion review, if you want to take that approach. John Carter 18:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- I wish I knew more about sculpture than I do, because I think that would be fairly pivotal here. The telling point would probably be the specific significance of the 3rd International itself. Clearly, there are any number of categories relating to award winners (Category:Academy Award winners shows some). If being exhibited in this show would be a similar distinction, then I think a very good case could be made for its being a separate category. That argument would probably be strengthened by some content to that effect in the article itself, and maybe creation of articles on the other such exhibits. If it were considered a comparatively lesser honor, though, Unfortunately, this is a field about which I know virtually nothing. Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts would probably be the people best able to address the comparative significance of the show relative to others. Otherwise, all I can suggest is inclusion of all of the names in the list of individuals who took part in the show. John Carter 19:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your blues
Hello. I'm sorry you feel that way. Were you not watching the category? The consensus that it was overcategorisation, and that it should be deleted, was very clear. Don't take it personally!
I think it would be impractical (and useless) for every editor to be notified when an article or category of interest is about to be deleted. Perhaps you could ask the nominator whether he could have notified you when he nominated it? However, since it appears from its history that the category was created by Brookie (talk • contribs), not by you, you may not have been notified in any case.
If your edits are, as you state, original research and opinion then they will be deleted without any input from me! On the other hand, I suspect that most of your excellent contributions will survive long after your departure. Very best wishes, RobertG ♬ talk 15:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Aw C'mon!
Your not leaving Carp ! You virtually just got here ! The wiki I know is substantiated by characters like you ! People I love for their slight touch of anarchy ! The best things you contributed are Wikipedia ! Jesus, haven't we all got a horse shot from under us ? Win some,lose some! Carp ! Damn it ! Buddy ! Pal !
Original and opinion are words of honour for the likes of you. If only this could be generalised beyond frustration...
But have a break and enjoy (The Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges, Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy) and when you get off your lazy ..., search for that book on Sculpture in Modern Belgium !

PS Coincidentally I was reading about Hildegarde von Bingen also, and her vision of the Church in relation to the phallic architecture thing. Yes your reading correctly. Sad to say my reference is French (M-M. Davy, Initiation à la symbolique Romane) It may yet take some time but we are getting somewhere. The point is now about erotic vision ( Bernini, Ecstasy of St Theresa), appealing to the senses ...but not in the pedestrian view common to the so called wikieditor. The von Bingen reference can also include the vision of Hermas ( Robin Lane Fox, Pagans and christians) Jung has some decent pages on Hermas I have yet to read. The bell tower as phallic architecture, sounds like you definitely will have to come back !
Keep it covered Carp (eye on the sparrow), :D !

[edit] Hey
Heyya! Sorry to bother you, but I stumbled across an article that needs a lot of help, and I need to label it, but I'm not exactly sure what to label it. I would like to fix it, but I'm not sure how much I can do. It uses first person, has bad syntax, and needs major restructuring (or so I think). The article is Saran District. If you could tell me what to do...or tell me somebody who knows what to do, I'd be very thankful.

Oh, ok. Thank you.
By the way, I am under editor review, so I was wondering...could you review me? I'd be very thankful. The link is on my user page. If you don't want to, you don't have to. Thank you for the help, and have a wonderful day!

- Oh, thank you so much! *hugs* I appreciate your review a lot. Have a wonderful day!

[edit] thank you
Carptrash, sincere thanks for providing references on Zantzinger, Borie and Medary. You're a scholar and a gentleman. --Lockley 23:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Civil War monuments
Hello! In response to your message, my new book Human Interest Stories of the Gettysburg Campaign is quite different from Grimm's old book, which was aimed at the tourist crowd. They are similar in overall theme, but I focus on a lot of new material not previously covered, and I drew almost entirely from letters, diaries and regimental histories. For reviews and snippets, please see Amazon reviews. I don't cover much on the monuments, however, as I focus on interesting stories from the battle and campaign.
I have an interest in the monumentation and occasionally edit articles on Wikipedia as I find information such as I had added to my new Cincinnati in the Civil War article. I merely copied the text over to the Rogers article. Have a great day! Scott Mingus 17:11, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
