[edit] Alphaquad
Alphaquad (talk • contribs) has responded with a fresh barrage of NPA. You may want to have a look. Another one, and it's WP:ANI for him. JFW | T@lk 13:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] BLP revert
Thanks for the BLP revert; I'm traveling, but try to log on once or twice a day just to watch for vandalism, and am glad you got to that. I've never encountered a source that would back up that text. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Samuel Gee
Thanks for your excellent expansion of Samuel Gee. I put shamefully little work into that, and now it's respectably comprehensive! Fvasconcellos 13:32, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Looks great to me. I was afraid someone would notice my brain-freeze—I am glad you found it amusing, though :) Do you think you'd be able to find an image of Gee? The BMJ article JFW mentioned has one, but it's apparently copyrighted. I haven't had much luck, and thought you might, seeing as how you were able to get pics for Désiré-Magloire Bourneville and Édouard Brissaud... Fvasconcellos 14:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- And yes, some of his original text would be quite useful. Don't worry, you can go ahead; I'm quite busy today and will probably not beat you to it! Fvasconcellos 14:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hm. I think that's a fair guess; I presumed it was copyright due to the "reprinted/used with kind permission from..." or whatnot present in the caption (I have to look at the article again, I don't recall it exactly). I'm actually in Brazil, which has, I believe, slightly more draconian IP laws, although I'm minimally familiar with them. I suppose there's no problem—worst case scenario, it can be tagged as fair use, however suboptimal that would be. Fvasconcellos 23:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hey, I see you added the portrait already—I hadn't forgotten, I was just waiting for you to show up again on my Watchlist before asking you to mail me the instructions :) Thanks again Colin, you didn't have to go to the trouble yourself. Cheers, Fvasconcellos 22:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the software tips as well. I hope you'll make good use of the page layout :) Fvasconcellos 00:08, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Watchlist
Epilepsy on my watchlist, but I can't do much this week due to travel. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 09:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Christian Archibald Herter
Am doing. After a cursory look, nothing jumps out—except the fact it was quite well-written :) I'll read more thoroughly later, but right now I can't fault it on anything major. I thought of perhaps breaking "Life" up into "Personal life" and "Work", but that doesn't seem like much of an idea; it might make those sections too short. Fvasconcellos 18:38, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Catching up on the guidelines is always a good idea :) Fvasconcellos 18:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Glad to have helped. I'll have to check my dictionary now, that was force of habit (and my spell-checker, set to U.S. English) Fvasconcellos 20:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] {{Cite news}}
There's some discussion going on regarding Cite News and the other cite templates on that talk page. Would love your input :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 01:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Please see my reply to the ongoing discussion: the very last thing we want is people charging off in all directions using their own "pet" styles for citations. We want to get the various citation templates in such a condition that anybody can use them to produce useful citations, rather than placing further artificial restrictions and limiting citation to those "experts" who "know how to format citations correctly". We need to stop trying to follow any particular existing "Manual of Style" and synthesise our own: why else did the various "Manuals" come into being other than the particular needs of the originating situation?

[edit] Historical tag at MEDMOS
OK, I admit that I got distracted because of all of my travel; can we try to finish this up and poll for consensus? [1] SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
