[edit] Edit question
I posted a notable alumni on the Waukesha South High School page and you removed it. Matt Morris is the founder of a cowbell enthusiast pep band that plays at high school baskeball games in Waukesha. It seems culturally relative to this school that he is listed as a notable alum.

[edit] Waukesha
Re: Waukesha and the pep band. I am uncomfortable by your assumption of what you define as "notable" and by the mere statement that you can define what is notable for a particular institution or for its student culture. Obviously, a pep band notation is not inappropriate--by common application of decency standards--but it very well could be notable for people who have gone to and graduated from this particular high school. The core to telling a true democratic history, one of the people and for the people--a story that Wikipedia catalogues so wonderfully, is that people should be able capture what is "notable" for them in a particular setting. So please cast a wider net. Please do not reserve notable for only people who may be wider known--as a historian I feel that there are many individuals who I consider notable but would be saddened to find that not many others would have ever heard of them. For instance, being both Jewish and a historian, I feel that the story of the Dreyfus affair is very important. Yet it saddens me that many choose to edit if from course outlines on the basis that is not a commonly known story beyond my community. Please allow for the school and its community to decide what story it wants to report as I will venture that you do not know what is important in that particular school's story. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.144.36.132 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Thanks
Yonatanh,
Thank you for reverting the revision to the article on Left Handed(ness), subsection "possible effects on thought in humans." As that information comes from extensive research--some dating back to the work of Roger Sperry in the 1960s--I don't feel it's right to have an individual who:
1.) can type: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:128.227.131.101
2.) is anonymous
come in and discard paragraphs of material that have been peer reviewed for a year.
Thank you again for your vigilance,
Tom Hunter, aka Curmudgeon99, the author of the original section. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Curmudgeon99 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Image permission
Owing to previous use of MS Outlook Express (Mac), the mail concerning this has been lost owing to that application's failure (I now use Mac OSX Mail). I will have to re-request, but will be out of communication for a few weeks after tomorrow. Can you communicate directly with Geoff concerning this? (That way you would get the permission in the appropriate form.) There is a suite of related images, all in the Ford Ranger EV article. View Geoff's photo album on the Ranger EV and press on the button at the bottom - "Send me a message". Your help would be appreciated. Please respond to my talk.
Thanks, Leonard G. 01:43, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
P. S. All image on the Ranger EV page are Geoff's, I think, so clearance for "any and all" related to Ranger EV on his site would be best - I will update the remaining images as needed in a few weeks - Leonard G. 19:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Also, if Goeof does not wish to release more than he allready has, a license for all on the page as of a specific recent date would be fine. Thanks for your assistance as I cannot follow up consistantly on this(I'm writing from Greece). - Leonard G. 05:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Unspecified source for Image:Gulf_war_soldiers.jpg
I believe I found the images here. This was over three years ago. Now that we can resize images and wikicommons exists, we should really be uploadeding the high resolution version to commons instead.--Jiang 02:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
If it's not there, then I don't have a clue where. It's been too long...
it could be replaced with a larger, better picture in the articles it is in--Jiang 03:06, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
