[edit] Jeans Instability

Could you possibly take a look at the articles for the Jeans instability sometime? I would value your feedback. We currently have several closely-related articles -- Jeans_Instability, Jeans_length and Jeans_mass. I think they could be strengthened by combining them. My best thinking is that we should keep the Free-fall_time article distinct.

[edit] Punta Tombo

No problem! I actually thought it was a Robot doing the disambiguation. God wiking, Mariano(t/c) 17:02, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] afs

Thanks for the tip. I thought I was getting the hang of the afd process, but I'm apparently still missing something. Is the process a little bit convoluted, or am I just not following directions closely? Jasmol 21:58, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] childe hassam

thanks eta for your cats on my arthur frank mathews article. do you mind if i add a small amount of material on your good childe hassam article linking his influence on california artists, which is one of my specialties. ps im also a physicist who is interested in art :}Anlace 04:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Theodore Robinson

Got your note. My apologies! I do try to incorporate existing text but I got a bit carried away there. You are right, the image is from the Smithsonian. There is an incredibly similar version at Baltimore. I'll be more careful next time :) --Worldofdew 02:09, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• Thanks! I was thinking of taking a crack at Frieseke at some point, though if you were preparing anything I'll hold off--he's not as well known to me as the others. I like your entry on Hassam. You're lucky to live in the Northeast around all that great art! Thanks again for the friendly advice. --Worldofdew 12:07, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kirwitzer

Yup, I think you can move it. I did not name it like that because for me, Czech, he was Václav but I wrote it as a wiki novice, now I know the custom of putting the names. Thanks

[edit] My recent rfa

[edit] Vandals galore

Hi Etacar! Long time no talk. I've been away from Wikipedia for a lot of time, hehe. Guess what, some vandal who is angry at you has created an Etacar12 account and is posting some incredibly childish comments around the pedia. I don't remember the rules, but I have the feeling that impersonating is BAD hehehe. Drop me a message if you need some support to kick this child a bit ;) Sarg 17:54, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Yeah, I've seen this person before, editting using IPs. Don't know what I did that set this moron off... :) I just left note at WP:AIV. --Etacar11 18:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Might even be that childish Namela guy. The style is certainly similar. But again, every 11 year old writes like that :) Sarg 18:30, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Maybe, but he never resorted to lesbian and sexual references before that I recall... ;) --Etacar11 18:48, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Movement

What do you think of the movement? Reply here. Thanks. --Kin Khan 02:52, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] etcar11 your foul

You fool Etacar11 it was me all this time blanking your user pages and writeing all does things about being a lesbian and stuff all this time, the vandel was you closet friend and i bet your going to ask but why well ill tell you why cause i just couldent stand you being mrs perfect all ways getting the fame for yourself.oh and by the way i was etcar12 and trust me this is no imposter this is the real thing.so what are you going to do block well go ahead block me at least i got what i come here for its over now.sarg dec 23,2005

The above was actually posted by Loom (talk · contribs), now blocked. -- Curps 20:21, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

U full, u suck it be mes all d time lolololol1111!!!1!!ONE I a vandel me be ur closet friend (?) and me be da blankin d pages you ask why well goood question isn't it I answer because since my schoooool teacha thinks I'm so smart but I can't type lololololol. (yeah, I'm sure he could convince anyone hehe. Now, seriously, is an IP ban out of the question here?). Sarg 10:07, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Smart-ass!! ;D Yeah, this guy has a habit of creating a new account and then vandalizing. Can the admins see the IP a user is coming from and block it? My RL friend Syrthiss is one now, I should ask him. --Etacar11 13:21, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Camouflage Peer Review

Hello, you once edited Camouflage. You might be interested to know, this article has been nominated for peer peer review. novacatz 03:40, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Many thanks, I was too quick pasting without checking. Hope I didn't do others. - Ted Wilkes 20:33, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

• No problem. Easy mistake to make. :) --Etacar11 20:36, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] George Field

Hi Etacar11, thanks for catching the possible copyright violation on George Field. I thought it was a shame he didn't have a writeup and wanted to correct the situation. I will send him an e-mail with a request to use the text of his website.

Rtfisher

---

Well, George stated that in his experience, wikipedia "is not sufficiently reliable to be useful," and requested that his bio not be used.

[edit] Stargelman

Hi Etacar11, can you give me some information about this painter? At last you made the list of his early works, so somehow you must have some information. There's nothing to be found in Germany. Regards Gerhard51 20:24, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] APL

Hi, I reverted APL back to the last Regieal1 edit, and added back in the appropriate content.

I understand why you did what you did, and the comment you left on that user's talk page, but I don't think it is Wikipedia policy that you can only ADD content. If it is, would you please direct me to that?

I worked at APL on NEAR, and I was so disappointed in the APL stub that I wrote to APL outreach and told them their Wikipedia article was crap. The Regieal1 content is OK, for now, and is definitely better than just the four mission links I put on their page. Rob^Talk 03:24, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

• I understand and what you did is fine. I wasn't really quoting a policy, I just hate it when a new person comes in and adds a big load of stuff, basically making a good stub into a long dead end article. I was hoping the person would come back and play around with and fix it. But another thing was that I was worried it was a copyvio (as often is the case when someone suddenly adds a huge amount of text), although I couldn't find a source online. Anyway, no worries! (And I did some work on NEAR at APL and GSFC too!) --Etacar11 03:30, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pierre

First off, good find.

Secondly, I'm on a personal campaign to increase the integrity of the AfD process. Could you do me a favor, and make sure to notify the article creator of the AfD? I would appreciate it; just a thing. TeKE 03:50, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

• Not a problem. --Etacar11 06:17, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Van Gogh

I rv the bold external links and then they were made bold again, which you rv. Different IP but anon, so it's probably the same person using AOL or some such. I have left a note on the user page, which they may or may not see. Tyrenius 01:38, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• I know, some people just never learn. I noticed you had just reverted the same thing from a different IP. :) --Etacar11 01:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Space for the Working Man

Dr. Kelly lives! Your evil plots to foil him are a failure!

[edit] Vincent van Gogh

I've noticed you've reverted some vandalism on this article, so I thought I'd draw your attention to this proposal on the talk page. Tyrenius 01:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Haystacks (Monet)

I am just starting a new page. You seem to be knowledgeable on art of the late 19th century. You are welcome to make any revisions on my Haystacks (Monet) page. I have a long way to go. I was wondering if there is a category for Series Paintings. This is my second Series (Campbell's Soup Cans). I am also wondering if the term series is a serious enough art term to deserve mention on the Series dab page. I am an art hack who has never studied formally. I have never painted. I attend about 3-5 exhibits a year though.

Hi Etacar11,

I have tried to have the article deleted as it is breach of copyright laws, but Wikipedia haven't done anything about it. I am now contacting my lawyer about the person who wrote the article and if you notice what he wrote originally was copied entirely from our own article. Hopefully the article should be deleted from Wikipedia as no relevant information can be found as the whole thing was made up and is only a figment of the writers mind. I didn't mean to upset anyone from Wikipedia I am just trying to protect my own breed.

• If you feel it is a copyright violation, then follow the procedure outlined here: WP:CP problems. And please sign your comments in the future. --Etacar11 14:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks but it seems to of gone already!!

• I'm sorry, but you've lost me. What's gone? The article? It is still there, as far as I can tell... The copyright violating text? If so, then why do you keep going on about it? And this is all very strange since YOU are the one who started the article in the first place... (btw, you sign by using ~~~~) --Etacar11 15:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't going on about it I was saying thank you! I didn't start the article maybe we have crossed wires I am talking about the Tamaskan Wolfdog article which has now been deleted and the page redirected instead. 80.223.126.199 17:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)blufawn80.223.126.199 17:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Couple of AfDs that might interest you

Hi Etacar11 - A persistent vandal who often uses IPs as sockpuppets decided on a new strategy and set up a couple of articles that really need to go. If you have a moment, I was wondering if you could look at Aga Khani and Islamic Cults and comment on their AfD pages. Much appreciated -- Aylahs ^(talk) 04:22, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Editor's Barnstar

• Wow, my first! Thanks, I really appreciate it. :) --Etacar11 14:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

• And, not so incidentally, for your many contributions to entries on artists. JNW 15:03, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on Luton and Cardinal Newman Catholic High School (Luton). I should of noticed, but I was busy on other things. Please keep up the good work! Random articles 14:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manet

Thank you. I usually pride myself on doing a decent reversion, but you are tres sharp. JNW 02:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

• Not a problem. :) --Etacar11 03:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hello. I saw you appear suddenly all over my watchlist, making me wonder for a moment if I had a clone! I now see you were mostly bounty hunting, but did have to check to see if you were a bot :-) Good work. Skittle 16:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

• No problem, just cleaning up the vandalism 'round these parts... ;) --Etacar11 16:53, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spam

I saw the original link leading to William-Adolphe Bouguereau page of MoodBook web-site and corrected it a little, and then decided to add links to Michelangelo pages as well, because their site has good Michelangelo pages as well.

Why have you deleted all of the links including Bouguereau link which was added by someone else a long time ago? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Argenberg (talk • contribs)

• See my reply on your talk page. --Etacar11 21:20, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spam?

These contributions [1] are blogs which appear to come from a reliable (authoritative?) source. WP:EL gives some guidance here, but I am uncertain about reverting them, and would value your opinion. Many thanks, JNW 14:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

• Although I'm always wary of massing linkings to personal sites like blogs, I am willing to give these a pass. There's no commercial aspect that I can see and as art history teachers/professors, they do seem to have some authority/knowledge in the field. I haven't delved into their stuff, though. Open for more discussion... --Etacar11 15:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

• Though I was uncomfortable with all the links, your rationale echoes my reasons for hesitating to revert. Thank you, JNW 02:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

		The Original Barnstar
		For your diligence in keeping the fine arts pages vandal-free, and your many other contributions. Ewulp 03:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a million!! :D --Etacar11 12:56, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your user page

I just wanted to tell you that your user page has been vandalized many many times by 71.229.11.82. It has been reverted and a block has been requested. Arienh4 11:43, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

And I've requested semi-protection as I don't think the vandal is going away (it's the only thing he does here). Cheers! --Evilclown93_(talk) 11:50, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it. --Etacar11 16:42, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

It's still continuing, he's just released from a block apparently, and I have requested a new block. Arienh4^(Talk) 14:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I took the liberty of semi-protecting your page. If you need anything else gimme a shout. Sasquatch t|c 17:53, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks, I appreciate it. --Etacar11 18:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

		The Purple Star
		Because of all the vandalism, I thought it was appropriate. Arienh4(Talk) 14:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Seconded. Evilclown93_(talk) 20:27, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks, love you guys! --Etacar11 22:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Thirded! JNW 15:56, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] And another

I see your work has already been recognised, but I'm going to add to it anyway. Tyrenius 00:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		So many vandal reverts to Vincent van Gogh from you! Tyrenius 00:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Muchas gracias! :D --Etacar11 02:52, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vincent van Gogh chronology

Please add to your admirable watchlist! In fact any Van Gogh articles are prime targets... Tyrenius 22:40, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

• Done! --Etacar11 02:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DC Meetup notice

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Maryland, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 00:27, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Hi Etacar11. Your thoughts on these edits would be appreciated [2] I've reverted a few already, with rationale on my talk page. It looks like the intent, more than anything else, is to promote a web site. Thanks, JNW 00:59, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

• I agree, definitely commercial promotion, with dubious value coming from having the links in the article. And it's hard to believe the editor adding them isn't somehow connected to the gallery. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but adding the links to so many different articles makes you wonder. --Etacar11 02:25, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Much appreciated. Thanks again, JNW 02:54, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aww

You beat me, I was in the process of editing the Pieter Bruegel vandalism right as you changed it. 76.166.111.168 11:09, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Longfellow

Why did You (according to the edit log) change 18 to 45? 18 is what I see when I search the Net. Kdammers 04:32, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

• Just reverting an unexplained change by someone else. If I'm wrong, feel free to fix it. --Etacar11 12:29, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] National Academy of Design

Dear Etacar11, Please stop undoing the changes I've made to the National Academy of Design entry. The artists you added are NOT members of the National Academy. Please try and keep Wikipedia as accurate as possible for all those users. Thank you. An expert on the NAD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mnormanprice (talk • contribs) 18:27, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

• No problem! --Etacar11 03:43, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edgar Alwin Payne

Maybe put the type of media somewhere else in the article, Edgar Alwin Payne, I think media type is important to tell the reader. But, I did make sound like he was a wildcatter drilling in West Texas. WikiDon 19:51, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Again

I was about to give you The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar, when I realised I'd already done so previously! Add a bar to it... Great work. Tyrenius (talk) 18:23, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

• No problem, thanks! :D --Etacar11 13:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oops and thank you

For cleaning up after my overzealous reversions of spam. My bad. I noticed that you have encountered the same links before, and I mentioned the long-running situation here [3]‎. Cheers and thanks again. JNW (talk) 02:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

• No problem, you're most welcome. Yeah, I have seen these people before. When will they get it through their heads...? --Etacar11 03:00, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

• I can understand their motivation: It's business, and how can you beat free advertising? Especially if it appears to have the blessing of an encyclopedia. JNW (talk) 03:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback

Hello Etacar11, I have granted rollback rights to your account. The reason for this is that, after a review of some of your contributions, I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: I do not believe you will abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck. Tyrenius (talk) 20:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

• Hey thanks! I promise to use it wisely. :D --Etacar11 20:51, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia meetup

You are receiving this automated message because your userpage appears in Category:Wikipedians in Maryland. Melon‑Bot (STOP!) 18:22, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup templates

Just to let you know that most cleanup templates, like "{{Unreferenced}}", "{{Fact}}" and "{{Cleanup}}" etc., are best not "subst"ed . See WP:SUBST for more details. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 16:03 13 May 2008 (GMT).

• Thanks for the tip! --Etacar11 17:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image credit

Just like in individual edits, on wikipedia we do not credit the images in articles. There has been countless discussions about this. The relevant credit is available at arms length. You would need to click the image for it. -- Cat ^chi? 18:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm. Well, I don't like it, but I bow to the consensus.  :) Thanks! --Etacar11 18:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. -- Cat ^chi? 18:41, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edit conflict

We apparently edited simultaneously at Sandro Botticelli--just a note to you that my unflattering edit summary referred to the anonymous edit we both reverted! Ewulp (talk) 20:50, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

• Awwww. :) No worries. --Etacar11 23:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
