[edit] Thank you
It's nice to know that there are some Wikipedians out there who see the current image policy as restrictive and ridiculous. I wish there was some way people like us could protest this policy without getting banned from the site by the less open-minded elements of this project. --CJ Marsicano 13:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks
Thanks man- glad to be of help. The sources were already there, which is the hardest part. POV-pushers don't win in the end if we stick with it (: –––Martinphi (Talk Ψ Contribs) 19:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, we have a lot of those it seems. Finding one's self by trying as hard as one can to not find one's self (: –––Martinphi (Talk Ψ Contribs) 22:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Near-death experience
Thanks, I was just doing Recent Changes patrol, and the anon user removed a significant entry that had valid references, so I reverted it. However, you're probably right it should go into the OBE article, would you be so kind to place it there, or would you like me to do so? Thanks again! Ariel♥Gold 10:33, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'll have a go but not just yet as I've got nonWikipedia stuff to do today so if you want to have a go at it then please do so. It's just working out how to best incorporate it smoothly into the article so I'll have a look later and see if it works and suggest any improvements if they are needed but the OBE article is the best place to put it. Yes, there is a difference between NDE's and OBE's although OBE's are a component of the NDE so it could have a passing mention in the NDE article but I think the Science Editor at Times Online is simply confusing the two terms.--Godfinger 10:43, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject: Modernist art
I thought you might be interested in a WikiProject proposal I just created. I would like to start a project devoted to improving Wikipedia pages relating to modern art in various mediums. Many these articles are often simply too under staffed; a specific project focusing on this category of articles will go a long way towards bring them up to Wikipedia standard. I hope you can help! --S.dedalus 00:44, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- The proposal is now called Experimental art. (To clarify that it focuses on all mediums.) --S.dedalus 03:45, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lalla Ward
Have managed to get an image of Lalla uploaded on to her page (so far) - I see you've had probs before with this. I agree the image policy seems unduly restrictive but the Yanks are incredibly litigious so bots tend to err on the side of caution, Bolshie Admins likewise. They seem to vary enormously in interpreting Wiki policy. This is "Not Good". As regards the image itself, I agree that one of Romana would be ideal- one of Lalla now would be good enough. I propose emailing Richard Dawkins to see if Lalla will allow me to go to Oxford (which is not far away for me) & take a photo of which I will own the copyright- then I'll upload it, with appropriate licensing. That would solve the problem --Rodhullandemu 23:44, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- An excellent proposal. Good luck and if you see her tell Lalla I said hello! (She was my favourite Dr Who companion during my teenage years-and my fantasy at the time also!) --Godfinger 11:46, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
