[edit] Re: Well done

Hi there! Thanks for your message. You are one of the amazingly few persons I've seen being actively polite at Wikipedia. It really pleases me to witness such courtesy. I would send you a reply a bit longer than this little note, about the editing; but is there any way to do it other than adding to your Talk page? Also, sorry if adding these lines to your Talk page isn't the right way of dropping you a line in the first place. President Lethe 17:09, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] hi

i was reading around when i found a picture of a goodlooking girl in a goodlooking school uniform. when i found out that it was a picture of a person here at wikipedia, i just had to leave a message. send me a mail at johnny4life@hotmail.com if you want to talk :) (exuse my spelling, english is not my first language...)

[edit] Catholic school uniform

Hi there. I was thinking about the article and I find it to be both very Catholic-centric and USA-centric (you might have noticed my talk on the discussion page about that). I think it might be prudent (and a bit of a compromise) to alter part of the second paragraph, which reads:

"Nearly all Catholic schools have some form of dress code, and most of them (especially those with students in the lower grade levels) have a mandatory uniform policy.".

To something like:

"Nearly all Catholic and Church of England schools have some form of dress code, and most of them (especially those with students in the lower grade levels) have a mandatory uniform policy."

.. or something similar. Of course, there might be other denominational schools that have uniforms, and that would negate the use of both Catholic and England, in favour of "Nearly all Christian denominated schools..." or something!

Anyway - let me know what you think. And if you have any thoughts on changing the title of the article, please leave a wee note on the bottom of the talk page there too. --Mal 13:56, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry it's taken so long to reply. I thoroughly agree with you, and have added a note to the talk page. I appreciate that in your part of the world, religion is a sensitive issue. - Taxwoman 14:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I was under the impression that I lived in the same part of the world as yourself. I'm not actually being sensitive about the religious thing tbh - the whole point of my edit was that religious schools are just a part of our education system, and that the vast majority of schools here have a school uniform policy... state schools and the various denomonational schools. In that respect, there is nothing particularly special in the UK about the CofE or RC schools. Its different in the US though, where school uniforms aren't in the majority, but are rather more confined to RC schools (and possibly other denominations) and the other schools only have a dress code at most. Your new photo is nice by the way. --Mal 03:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bondage edits

Hello Taxwoman,

I am glad that you appreciate my contributions to some of the bondage and BDSM-related articles on Wikipedia. You seem to be an expert on the subject - I have had some practical knowledge in that field as well. I uploaded two pictures and expanded the discussion on Bondage hood. Also, check out the article I started on Monique Covet which (so far) has been entirely my own work with no additions from other users. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jaiwills (talk • contribs).

[edit] Not a problem...

...glad to help. I know I always hate having to dig through page history to find the author of unsigned comments on my page. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:14, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PVC link

Hi - I notice that you restored a link I took out of Latex and PVC fetishism. My understanding of WP:EL would suggest that (good though it is) it has little business being in Wikipedia. Wiki is after all an encyclopedia and the link is to a transient event? "Skin too" does have it's own link above anyway. For now I have taken it out again but will not repeat this without discussion with you. It's not to do with the site - I notice that you appear to have broad views & I would not argue with that - but to me it is a transient link. Look forward to your comments - regards --Nigel (Talk) 17:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

won't stress me in either direction - if you put it back I will not revert it - all the best Nigel (Talk) 11:54, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response to your comment on my talk page

I find it somewhat annoying that you put words in my mouth, without just asking "why did you think the other image was not as attractive?".

I did NOT say the "model" was more attractive. Please read my actual edit summary. I said the picture was more attractive. You're... not my type, miss, but hardly are you ugly, either; I'm the daughter of an artist with a pretty good eye for pleasing visuals, and rest assured, the model herself (yourself, that is) was NOT my complaint in regards to the picture. But that is completely beside the point, considering the picture quality - the thing I was complaining about and replacing it for- was horrible compared to the one I replaced it with, which is the reason I replaced it, and the original picture quality was poor enough that I did not actually think anyone would bother to complain about removing or replacing it. I'm frankly not quite sure why you're mad; it does not seem like it's the most flattering picture (compared to what it could be, since you look like you could look at least several times better than that with decent lighting, and no bad flash going off in your face), due to the complete lack of lighting control, the overly-obvious camera flash, and "snapshot" nature, and if I recall, slight blurring and even, if I'm not mistaken, redeye (I may or may not be remembering right on the redeye though, I'd look at the picture, but I can't recall the URL for it and at the moment, I'm getting ready to leave for the bank to deal with what appears to be fraudulent charges on my checking account, so I don't really have the time right this minute to dig through the edit history, though I did want to get back to you quickly. I just seem to remember there being redeye, and with such an obvious camera flash, it would not seem weird for their to be redeye in the picture considering you were facing the cameraperson); also, IIRC, the corset itself was not particularly visible, and despite being a genuine, traditional-type corset instead of those weird little pseudo-corsets they sell now, you really can't tell as much in that picture, which IMO, does not make it a good contrast for the "corset tops" that don't retain the corset function. Furthermore, the new picture is slightly smaller and reduces well, and most of the "Modern History" section was about how modern corsets are rarely actually corsets, which is absolutely true. The text in the picture box makes it quite clear, in my edit at least, that the top pictured is simply one of the modern "corset tops" that only imitate the look and not the function of traditional corsets - in one of the two main ways (lacing or boning) that modern imitation corsets do, at that, compared to the Prada top that featured the boning.

To be technical, I had wanted to put that laced "corset top" pic and the Prada picture up in the same section (or all down together in the Modern History section) as a comparison between different styles of tops that are referred to today as "corsets" by various designers and retailers without meeting all the traditional criteria of the term. But I don't know how to do a "three images in one box" thing. If you know how to do that or know where I can find code to copy over to produce that effect, by all means tell me and I'll do that in the "modern history" section... and then maybe we can reinstate a picture of that real corset you were wearing, only with the flash turned off and much better lighting? I would love to have a really good modern picture of a real, traditional, functional corset being worn, but I want it to have good lighting and really show the subject of corsets extremely well, you know? Perhaps a closer-up frontal shot in more controlled lighting? Runa27 20:01, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Corsets and enemas

That para you added was completely unreferenced. It describes such a minority practice that it doesn't belong in a general article like corset. If you can find a reference, it could go in one of the BSDM articles. Zora 23:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/FT2 2

Hi. I do hope you don't mind, but I wondered if you could elaborate on your oppose !vote there? Thanks. --Guinnog 17:46, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Specifically, you said you felt the answer was "misleading" over "conflict", but you did not explain what you felt was misleading or conflicting beyond the fact that two editors expressed differing perspectives. I'd be worried if I thought that a mere difference of opinion would count as "conflict". Apologies if there is more to this than meets the eye. --Guinnog 18:18, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Never mind, I read into it and can see why you were unhappy enough to oppose. I also dicussed it (off-wiki) with the candidate and feel sure they will not repeat such an error. Best wishes, --Guinnog 16:50, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes. Sorry to have bothered you. --Guinnog 23:46, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Explanation

Further to some pointers provided by user:Holdenhurst [2], it's now clear what actually happened on Tie and tease.

In short, from your comment we were all looking for a problem on the talk page. In fact the problem wasn't on there really -- it was on the article page. A late night editing session led to an accidental omission of explanation and an incorrect edit summary, which would have made the article look like it was being abruptly blanked and deleted. Unaware of this, it wasn't immediately clear why you felt there was "conflict" or hostile attempts to get rid of valid content.

The full explanation is at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/FT2 2, along with my apology. I'm a firm believer that an apology is useless unless one understands what it is that's apologized for, and in enough depth to try and put it right. I now feel it is finally clear why you felt aggrieved, and hence my description to clarify, and my apology, so you know that this is a sincere attempt to put it right.

Needless to say your 'oppose' view is uncontested. That's your choice, and respected. My choice is, regardless of that, to try and see where conflict may have arisen and - if able - put it right. I hope this will be accepted in that spirit, for any concerns over the article which you were caused.

[edit] Ruined Orgasm

This article was on discussion for merger since last June. I think if there were negative views we would know by now.

I wrote a number of these articles, and enhanced many, so I'd say I know the subject and field. My article contributions are linked from my user page - that might help since you'll be able to see I'm a fairly heavy contributor over time to such subjects.

It's sometimes more valuable to have one full comprehensive article than several smaller ones, in such a niche area. I'd like to discuss any revert of R/O - for essentially the same reason you wished to have the other discussed? The merge on R/O seems to have lain uncontested and uncomplained about for a long time, and enacting it therefore seems appropriate.

Thanks. And thanks for your note and offer of advice :) FT2 (Talk | email) 23:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)



Quick afterthought though, and this is separate from any article editing we've discussed. As you have given me your thoughts, I hope you'll be okay with me suggesting a couple I found, which might likewise be useful, perhaps. They're offered rather than thrown, so to speak, on a "use them if helpful, ditch them if not" basis :)

When "Tie and tease" was discussed, you obviously interpreteted it as a conflict, for reasons that are now probably understood. But you didn't ask me, or check, or question "you did this edit, what was your motive and purpose". There was no attempt to check facts, and no attempt to explain your feelings. There wasn't any communication beyond essentially "Oy, you are misleading". No attempt to check where my edits had come from... and hence you misassumed. The open question ("What was your intent and justification for these edits") wasn't asked, and instead an whole series of assumptions was made. You didn't know, but you believed you did.

Shortly after, discussing R/O, you offer advice: don't edit when asleep, which is good advice -- and "don't edit in areas you don't understand". Whatever you may believe you know, you didn't know what I do or don't "understand", since you hadn't at any time taken out the time to check, or find out by asking me or discussing the views shared. Again its likewise assumptive, and also tends to breed dispute rather than collaboration.

Instead of seeing good faith -- here's someone who has worked in these areas and you know, I might not agree that merging's right, but I do see where he's coming from and how he might see it as appropriate, so lets discuss -- you immediately 1/ assumed "he must be an ignoramus", and 2/ "I'm going to revert without discussion whatever because that's how I think it should be". That's the impression it risks... and I know it's not what's intended, but it is how it might be felt from outside.

My hope is you'll see the commonality of these three and consider that if someone does something that looks a "bad action", often it's worth asking what they were doing, what they know, fact-find first. That's what I did on the RfA, wait to hear your reasoning, to consider it carefully, rather than assume "she's nuts, theres no conflict" or "what the heck?" A good adage is Hanlon's razor (as modified) ..... "Never assume malice when misunderstanding, good-faith error, and different assumptions will suffice." [the original references 'when stupidity would suffice', which would be a Bad Assumption usually].

Anyhow, I hope you won't take this in any adverse way. It's my attempt to note a style of error that has led you to misassume bad faith or lack of knowledge twice in the space of a few days. That's all. All the very best regardless of whether you can use this thought or not. FT2 (Talk | email) 00:10, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cites needed - any idea of reliable sources?

I think this is your sort of thing maybe. I'm trying to find some WP:RS for Edgeplay. I think the article's about right in its list -- it's been stable a long time. But it's completely uncited.

It strikes me that this could be a relatively easy one to cite, since it's essentially one topic, but I haven't found a suitable web ref or other ref listing the sorts of things commonly considered to be edgeplay, or which are often considered (even if not by everyone) as examples of it.

Any chance of help? Thanks. FT2 (Talk | email) 00:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edgeplay

Many thanks - good links all.

I don't think edgeplay needs a warning, though, and that's for the same reason that the article on Hitler doesn't need to label him as a "bad man".

If we create a section "BDSM views on edgeplay", we can bring out all the textures of these cites - how they see it as valuable, and how they see it as risky, and how they present their views on safety and warnings. That will probably be more than enough, done properly.

Thanks again! FT2 (Talk | email) 14:59, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
