[edit]

Hello back, 24! Thanks for posting to my messy user page - I have to clean up some of those deletion notices for pictures that I figured out how to justify.

I'd add to what I said - and not to contradict you - that your initial approach to raising your points was quite professional. Believe me, lots of folks have stormed over onto that page especially and made a mess and alienated others with attitude. Your assertion of good faith, however mistaken in your view, goes a long way to create an attentive audience for your voice, I think.

I find that what you refer to as my cordiality is just a good way to get a working conversation going, one of the objectives being to improve the article in question. Another is just to have a good conversation, and your excellent posting over on LBH is just that. I'm heading over there now to discuss it with you.Sensei48 (talk) 04:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mining

I saw your comments at WP:SCOWNB. I too would encourage you to take the plunge. I began editing a few Scottish island articles. For a while I wondered if was more-or-less alone, but I found a few fellow-editors and it has now turned into a fully-fledged project (see WP:ISLE). Whether you have time for much or only a little I agree that the topic is under-represented and you sound like you could make a very useful contribution. I don't know much about the subject but if you have any questions I'd be happy to help if I can. Just hit the 'Talk' icon that follows. Ben MacDuiTalk/Walk 19:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Braidwood

It is a decent article and I don't have anything to add from a Scot's perspective as such, except that I look forward to reading about James B in due course. In general terms the article itself has a couple of obvious things in need of attention. The 'Early History' section has free-floating citations at the beginning. They need to be placed in line somewhere or at the end of the section if they cover generalities. The lead section needs fixing. This is a surprisingly common failing - as an article evolves its lead needs to keep up - see WP:LEAD. For example, I was intrigued about the Braidwood Inn film connection, but although it appears in the lead it is not elaborated on elsewhere. Regards.

[edit] Equal Rights Amendment

I have made an edit that clarifies what the Nineteenth Amendment does. Thank you for pointing out the need for that improvement in the article. --SMP0328. (talk) 23:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
