[edit] Eiffel Tower Photo
Why move the photo that my father took right after the end of World War II? It's a photo of historic significance that I took the time to upload, and not one simply taken from some website. Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation is a repository of photographs of historical significance. This picture has been on Wikipedia for much longer than you've been editing. Please, move another photo. Thanks, Googie man (talk) 20:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

- MapsMan, thank you very much for your response. I can certainly see your points, and agree completely that many articles, including the one on the Eiffel Tower, are getting a little unruly with images. It's really not a vanity issue, trust me - my father just happened to take a really beautiful, artful photograph. Thank you for leaving it where it is. Best regards, Googie man (talk) 22:35, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Editor Assistance Request by Ian Snowball
Hi there,
I thought it best to inform you that Ian Snowball requested that your edits be looked into as he seems to think you are harassing him. I've looked into both of your edit histories and also your discussions on his talk page and found no harassment. If you'd like to join in the discussion - as a way of putting forward your point of view - then it is located here [1], although I don't think it's necessary if you feel you'd rather not get involved. I'm hoping that Ian will read my response and agree with it and then the whole matter can be resolved.

- Hi again, could you please add your support to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Ian Snowball as Ian Snowball's behavior includes him calling both you and I anti-disabled people, and also accusing you of harassment; whilst he has created an edit war and continually reverts edits and adds non-factual info. Many thanks. Howie ☎ 16:20, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Inaccurate and conflicting information
Dear Mapsman,
Your last edit of Primrose Hill ry sta was
to delete the para that the line thru PH was used to get to Wldn J when the track thru S Hmpd etc had been closed and
to delete a comment about a possible future development.
Which of those was inaccurate and which conflicted with what?
When the tunnel was closed for overhead electric installation NLL trains did run from Camden Rd to Wldn Jn LL. Table 58 of the BR Jan-June 1996 timetable confirms that my trips were real and not hallucinogenic. 90% of WP is written without references, and many future dreams get woven into the text but short of a bot to label every article "Unsourced. Delete!" and then saving only what editors chose to rescue what's to be done?--SilasW (talk) 16:27, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A148 road/A149 road
Flexibility! Is the key word here? In the past when I have got into discussions about this particular page, there has been very little of that. I apologies if you think that I’m getting at you, but many of the editors involved in UK Roads Project are completely inflexible and in some cases dame right arrogant. I just don’t see the point in slapping tags on pages and then not doing anything constructive about putting right what “in there OPINION is a bad article. The essay like tag has been on and of that page for more than a year now!. I have removed it on occasions but other editors also have. I have no doubt that the UK Roads Project will get around to ripping the page to its bare bones at one stage or other. I just don’t agree with there sterile outlook of road descriptions. In the past when I have tried to get into some sort of debate with members of the project it has been a complete waste of my time! They have there views and no one else’s count.

- Further More
- Is it necessary that you have to cry off to other editors (Regan123) to enforce your views. I repute the allegations you make of me of being possessive of these articles (being from Norfolk) and immature with his "don't agree with your opinion so I'll ignore it" attitude. I have got into pointless discussions before and why do you think I should be given a wp:3rr. If you check the history I have reverted twice as have you!. It was initially removed by another editor!. Your need for back up is just the reason you did not get a response from me. I’v been down this ROAD before, and as it makes you angry!, you Know how it has got to me in the past.Stavros1 (talk) 19:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A149 road
Hello MapsMan
I appreciate your comments and welcome any contributions to the discussions. I am pleased that you have made positive criticisms of the article rather than just say that it is all wrong as some editors have done in the past. I have absolutely no problem in the article being revamped as you suggested. When I created the article it was my first attempt at contributing to an article on a road. The article has not been altered vastly by anyone in particular. But all the same it did initially come under huge criticism from some editors in the project. This would have been fine by me, But! Criticisms where never backed up by any actions and in some point felt like I was being ordered. i.e. you must do this! Or that information is wrong! With out any explanation why it was wrong. One editor even made the accusation that the A149 was built on an old railway track bed and was not even worth the effort of writing about, a view that was never backed up or replied to when I pointed out the error in there information. I am not attached to the page and would welcome any positive contributions to make the page as good as we all can make it. Thanks!Stavros1 (talk) 21:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Park Republika Srpska
Hello. Thank you. First report I've seen was from the city officials (ref. 2 in the article), saying that the park is between Gazela and Old Railway Bridge. That sounded strange because that area is occupied by the notorious slum of Kartonsko naselje and city can't wait to displace the locals because the land will be one of the most expensive in Belgrade. Creating such a park there made no sense. Few days before I wrote the article I was, accidentally, crossing Gazela so I tried to see if really there is a park in that location...and it wasn't. I guess I was looking to the wrong side :o) Then I've found a report saying it was on the other side, between Gazela and Old Sava Bridge. So your location is OK. I like to walk in that area, along Sava bank, so when I go there I will see exactly which part of this section it occupies.
I have a question for you. I am trying to find someone who's native language is English to help me edit my future articles. I am mostly into geography and history. To see some of my work, I've wrote most of stuff on List of Belgrade neighborhoods, created Rivers of Serbia and Lakes of Serbia (which I am planning to develope soon). If you are not interested maybe you could recommend me someone else. If not, it's ok, no hard feelings :o) Greetings PajaBG (talk) 18:00, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Until I write something new, when you have free time, you might check the latest I posted: Muhar, Zaovine Lake, Skadarlija, Zasavica (bog)...Do you prefer some other view of communication, e-mail, msn? Thanks again. PajaBG (talk) 19:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
