[edit] Salutations!

Ello there, Pretty and plusgood user page you've got here, by-the-way. (= Mmm, here's a rose from one of the articles I've made myself.. DrWho42 03:11, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm gonna expand my user page, though. :o) Antique Rose 04:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Rose: Thanks for the welcome message; are you a bot, or a real live flower? Best regards, Gene Keyes Esperanto41 03:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Gene! No, I'm not a bot. I am a real life flower, a really delicate one. Antique Rose 13:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

umm, what test was this?--131.111.202.17 11:36, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hosiery picture

I'd rather go with the other picture ... "hosiery" is about more than women's stockings. It's a sexy picture but it's unique to a particular garment, while the other one suggested all the garments in the category (which include socks). Daniel Case 20:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Very well! :) But isn't there a better image which shows stockings/hosiery when worn? Antique Rose 21:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I didn't think it was necessary to show hosiery being worn for people to recognize it. I suppose I could have taken some of my wife's pantyhose and added some unworn socks of my own, but I didn't think I could equal the aesthetic qualities of the Flickr image.

For now I've decided to keep the pic you put in, though (but I stil think it's a little too in-your-face sexy for a navbox. What I liked about the image I used in {{lingerie}} was that it suggests everything about lingerie without immediately being identifiable as a specific article of lingerie ... ditto with the pantyhose-off picture). But I think that if we ever have a separate hosiery brands navbox (always a possibility), we should use that one there. Daniel Case 00:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thanks for your welcome. Wikipedia does seeom to have a vibrant (i.e. fights like cats and dogs) community. I'm looking forward to taking part in it. I'm off to find some things to gnomify now... --Archaro 22:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Nice! Good luck gnoming! Antique Rose 22:42, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh, as an interesting example of synchronicity, I love roses and Latin (rosa rosa rosa est est). The garden of the house of my youth (I think there's a book in there somewhere) was filled with roses of many varieties, antique and modern. Sadly, I no longer live in a house with a rose garden. One day, though... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Archaro (talk • contribs)
Maybe, some day, we will find ourselves in a garden full of roses that will never wither... Antique Rose 23:16, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Curious question

Thank you for your welcome. Wikipedia is HUGE! Anyways, I need to ask you a question, if it's okay. Is it possible to change your username?--Hanpingz 23:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Hanpingz! Do you mean usernames in general or my username? Antique Rose 23:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I mean in general. You sure get back to people quickly. In addition, how do you put images in your main user page? --Hanpingz 23:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
OK, thanks! One of Wikipedia's bureaucrats may help you with that. As for images, you must use the image markup described here. Good luck! Antique Rose 23:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

OK! Thank you for all your help!--PingZ. 23:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for catching the vandalism on Arlo Guthrie. :) Lewis Collard! (natter) 18:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome! I'm always happy to combat scribble and vandalism. Antique Rose 07:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tips for fighting vandalism

Speaking of vandalism, I noticed you reverted some on Spartan-James's userpage. Please also consider warning vandals with {{uw-vand1}} {{uw-vand2}} {{uw-vand3}} {{uw-vand4}} and {{uw-vand4im}}. You can also report them to admins at the AIV. Hope it helps! Cheers, JetLover (talk) 23:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! These templates may come in handy. Antique Rose 17:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Fashion article on Andrew Saul

Just a heads up that Andrew Saul (ex-CEO of Cache and Brooks Bros.) has been nominated for featured article status here. Any input, comment and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, there is not that much info on him as it relates to the fashion industry, and being an !expert, I'm not quite sure how well I can flesh it out. Please feel free to comment and/or improve the article. Thanks! MrPrada 21:16, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

OK. Thanks! Antique Rose 21:27, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heinrich Himmler

Given Che Guevara's actions at La Cabana prison I feel that mentioning him in the same light as Heinrich Himmler is not "nonsense." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.118.69 (talk) 07:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

IMO such comparisons are POV. You can't create a reliable and trustworthy encyclopedia based on "feelings". Heinrich Himmler was responsible for millions of lives. I fail to see how one can compare this with the acts of Che Guevara. Antique Rose (talk) 08:48, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Che Guevara was quoted as saying in the London Daily Worker as "Had the missiles (referring to the missiles in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis) remained we would have used them against the very heart of America including New York." This quote is in the very wikipedia article on Che. Using nuclear missiles against America would've undoubtedly taken millions of lives. So in that area there is a legitimate comparison of Che Guevara and Adolf Hitler. That said, I plan on returning to the Himmler article and mentioning Che Guevara. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.118.69 (talk) 06:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
I noticed I'm not the only one disagreeing with you. Your anti-Che Guevara agenda is quite obvious. Antique Rose (talk) 08:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Posen Speech

I have contacted the administration against your vandalism acts and about jayjg, who must be the same person. Why don´t you contact the admistrator and do the same? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.6.238.83 (talk) 18:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not continue with your nazi revisionist edits, thank you! Antique Rose (talk) 19:19, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

You are deleting my contribution, which is an authentic contribution, since it cites documents and its sources. If you desagree with something, you discuss it, add more documents proving the contrary. Why don´t you contact the administrator to see what he thinks about it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.6.238.83 (talk) 19:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Not an "authentic contribution." Nazi propaganda doesn't pass muster as reliable. Please stop. --GoodDamon 23:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Well done to both you and GoodDamon on the sockpuppet report, but I took this to WP:AN/I and all three of the sockpuppet accounts have been blocked and both the article on the Posen speech and Heinrich Himmler have been semi-protected by JzG. AniMate 23:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm always willing to combat scribble, vandalism and sock puppetry. Antique Rose (talk) 23:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk Page

I noticed you reverted some changes on User talk:Qprods where the editor blanked the talk page of warnings with an edit summary of "rvv". I ran into this one time and it was explained to me that it is not vandalism to remove warnings from your own talk pages. From WP:Talk:

Users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages, though archiving is preferred. They may also remove some content in archiving. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user.

I hope this helps. Jons63 (talk) 12:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

It does. Thanks for the information. Antique Rose (talk) 13:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Himmler

Why did you revert "the four-eyes killer"?.... Are you defending him? 190.49.110.14 (talk) 03:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Defending Himmler? Nope. I just don't think that a "nickname" like that belongs in an authoritative encyclopedia. Antique Rose (talk) 03:17, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
