[edit] Leonardo da Vinci

I've removed your edits.

  • Equalled has two ls in English spelling.
  • Leonardo was a polymath: item 1, item 2, item 3 etc is the correct grammatical form. The items follow a full colon which indicates that a list is to follow.

Leonardo was a polymath; he was an item 1, item 2 item 3. is clumsy and unnecessary.

  • (Leonardo) ... is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time, and the man with the most diversely prodigious talent ever to have lived.[2]

This sentence is entirely correct. Leonardo is considered to be both these things: one of the greatest painters of all time AND the man with the most diversely prodigious talent ever to have lived. The sentence does not claim that he was those things, but that he is considered to have been those things.

The second of these claims, if made in relation to some other individual, might be considered extreme, exaggerated and not appropriate to Wikipedia style. However, the claims, (as you ought to have noticed) are not made by the Wiki editor but are sourced, and the sources are numerous. The reference directs you to a section entitled Leonardo - the Legend which has a string of quotations making such claims and dating from the 16th to the 20th centuries.

Please don't make changes that substantially alter the meaning of the introduction of an article of major importance unless you are a expert in the field. Please go to the page Leonardo da Vinci - scientist and inventor for a better understanding of why he is thought to be "the man with the most diversely prodigious talent ever to have lived" and not merely "a man with a diversely prodigious talent".

[edit] My RfA

[edit] Everbank

Greetings - I posted the elements for EverBank. Even though I would normally have the authority I see that I might have to re-write the "About" section, but the history part is not copyright. What do I need to do to have that portion returned?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fotiii (talk • contribs).

I did - thank you. Will do more updates later.

[edit] Thank you for your support on my Request for Administration

I'm happy to say that thanks in part to your support, my RfA passed with a unanimous score of 40/0/0. I solemnly swear to use these shiny new tools with honour and insanity integrity. --Wafulz 15:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Leonardo

Natl1, I just posting here a copy of the message that I sent to Awadewit, the perso who reviewed the Leonardo da Vinci article.

I am the person who has done most of the recent rewriting of the Leonardo da Vinci article and also created Leonardo da Vinci - scientist and inventor. All the writing on Leonardo's workshop, paintings, training, influence, and contemporaries is mine, as well as most of the intro etc. The extent of my edits, of course, are obvious to anyone who checks the history. I have, however, not done anything extensive over a couple of weeks because I've been out of the country.

Your review is valuable and I'll work through all the points that you have made.

On the other hand, I find Natl1's behaviour in seeking a peer revue for an article that another person is obviously spending a great deal of time improving to be impudent to say the least....

Natl1, to put it quite simply, I wasn't ready to seek a peer revue on something that I have been working on intensively. I need to think about it and review it and revise it a few times before that. I don't think it's quite FA class, but it's getting there.

[edit] Untitled Comment

why was my edit removed? i was just removing the part about Scotland being 'shity' which i found offensive.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.2.80.185 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Your help please...

Hello Natl1,

I have just attempted to make an entry into Wikipedia this weekend and see that it "appears to be an advertisement." That is not the intent, and I would like to ask your advice on how it can be edited to remove that appearance. I have studied the Neutral POV and other guidelines, but have not been able to edit it so that flag is removed.

The page is at "Safe Teen Driving Club". You have marked it a "non notable" company as well. The company helps parents prevent the death of their kids. While does not have the stature of IBM or Walmart, it has been 'notable' to many of us parents.

Being new to this, I am not sure how you will reply, so I am including my email and login ID:

Amareis <email removed to prevent spam>

Thanks in advance for your advice. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Amareis (talk • contribs) 22:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] RE: WP:IFU

Unless there is any proof on the website where the image originated, we have no idea wether the user was telling the truth. I wouldnt upload it. ffm ✎talk 19:56, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Optional question on your RfA
