Hello

Cool, right on. I do alot of stuff on Pre Columbian Native American articles, glad you like them. Do you do murals too? Heiro 17:56, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I dont really edit much about murals here, since it is what I do for a living, lol. Most of what I know about them is from the 300 or so I've worked on across the country. And writing about those would probably involve some COI issues here. I edit mostly Native American history, mostly Mississippian culture related stuff, but also alot of the other Mound Building cultures. With my job, I've gotten to travel quit a bit thru the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys, so I make side trips and pitstops to photograph them, consequently quit a few are illustrated with my photos. I grew up not too far from Serpent Mound in southern Ohio. I used to have an apartment in Portsmouth, Ohio about 2 houses over from the last remnants of the Portsmouth Earthworks.

Fair use rationale for File:HalBlaine&the-WreckingCrew.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:HalBlaine&the-WreckingCrew.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey

If you left that comment on my user page because it's explicitly an "anyone can edit" page, I mistook it for a newbie mistake, so I took it out. Feel free to revert it if it if that isn't the case. :-) It's cool about our birthdays.

Elisabet Ney

Re your message and Elisabet Ney's nationality, I just changed it to German American You've made a good point, but I've found nothing - yet - in my research that she gave up her German citizenship. Maile66 (talk) 17:11, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

German American and category German-Americans and category German diaspora, but I get what you mean. There is also German Texan and the category List of German Texans, but Ney lived in more than Texas. In Wikipedia, you can pretty much find a group opposed to anything, just as there will be an opposite group in favor of the same thing. If you come up with something definite from the Elisabet Ney Museum, maybe you might like to leave a note about it on her talk page - because somebody, somewhere is going to disagree. I think more pointedly, is whether or not "nationality" means origin of birth, or citizenship. If you look at the Infobox Scientist I used for Edmund Montgomery, it has both Citizenship and Nationality, indicating they are different meanings. Infobox Artist will not accept Citizenship, as I have tried. Maile66 (talk) 20:23, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Elisabet Ney and Edmund Montgomery are possibly equally important in contributions, but he seems to have been historically overshadowed - if not almost buried - by Ney. On Oct 30, I had left a message on Talk:WiliProject Philosophy asking for input on Montgomery's body of work. I'm out of my depth with his field of study, and someone else needs to detail the significance of his contributions. What is currently on his page under "Medicine" and "Philosophy" pre-dates me, and it's not very well written. I've tried to coordinate the biographical info between the two pages, so that details of one page checks accurately against the other. The SMU papers refer to the children as Arthur and Lorne Ney, rather than Montgomery. Accounts of details on any given point vary from source to source at times.

Restaurants in Española

For "New Mexican" food, Angelina's (one of the ones I deleted from the Española article, I admit) and if you're saving money, Stop and Eat. For more expensive and tastier, more Old Mexican food, Mariscos la Playa (a Southwestern seafood chain) and El Paragua. For take-out, El Parasol. For non-Mexican food, why bother?

Origin of the name Espanola on the Espanola, New Mexico page

I noted that the following sentence was included on the page regarding the origin of how the City of Española initially got its name, i.e., Another explanation is that the name “Española” is a variation of the Spanish word “Hispaniola” or “New Spain.” I deleted this additional sentence for the following reasons:

While the author of "another explanation" may be well intentioned, the "another explanation" is erroneous. In the early 1960s, Robert Trapp, owner and editor of the city's newspaper called "The Rio Grande Sun" printed an article on the origin of the city's name. Prior to Mr. Trapp printing the article, he verified its contents by talking with members of families -- of both Spanish and Anglo origin -- who had lived in the area for generations.

Please remember, to many Española residents it was common knowledge as to the origin of the city's name since the origin of the city's name on or about 1880 began when Española was but a village. Early families inter-married and carried with them the knowledge of the origin of the city's name. When Mr. Trapp wrote the article, Española, now a city, was still small in population with most people knowing everyone who resided in the area.

Española's past Mayor Richard Lucero (who is also listed in Wikipedia), who comes from an old Española Valley family, has spoken of the origin of the city's name confirming the story that it was named by the railroad after the Spanish woman who opened a restaurant to serve the railroad workers.

Also, when you look at old New Mexico state maps prior to the 1880s, you will not find the town name Española listed on them. The name starts appearing on New Mexico state maps after the "Chile Line" railroad started to be constructed in 1880. This further confirms how the city's name was derived.ññññ Espanola (talk) 19:15, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments on Espanola

Thank you for your comments regarding the detail I gave on the origin of Española's name. Unfortunately my User Page was not helpful and consequently my editing has my user name in red and not blue -- I think. I am somewhat color blind to the color red. I was confused as to how to make it blue. I have deleted the addition that was made. Incidentally, many years ago I became highly skeptical of reference books designed to give origins of place names of cities and the names of state capitals after noting that a Reader's Digest publication named Albuquerque as New Mexico's state capital!!!

Maya stelae

Hi Carptrash,

Thanks for dropping in the stela into the table - I'm actually trying to track down dimensions for the stelae specifically mentioned in the Maya stelae article, (see the list under the table), although once I'm finished with the FA nom I'll very likely start a "List of Maya stelae" article. If you can find dimensions for any of the missing stelae in the worklist, I'd be most grateful. Best regards, Simon Burchell (talk) 00:16, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Dylan: Red on Red

Agreed. Based on existing redlinks, a couple songs due for a start are "Walls of Red Wing", "Walkin' Down the Line", "Paths of Victory", and "Mama/Daddy/Baby, You Been on My Mind", all solid choices. Notability, of course, rules, and off the top of my head, one measure is the number of notable artists who have recorded a song. That would only take some simple tallies and would be fairly objective in the sense that the "jurors" would be "blue ribbon". Just a thought. Thanks for the response.

Caryatids

I'm glad you are interested in these. Sadly, I don't know enough to contribute usefully to the article and don't have suitable reference works to hand. I was racking my brains to think of examples I've come across. But I looked up the article in the first place after seeing the wonderful Agnès Varda short documentary The So-called Caryatids (1984) about the caryatids in Paris which she says are mainly from the 1860s. The idea was taken up by the Jugendstil movement and links into the Scandinavian architectural renaissance at the beginning of the 20th century. And I've found an example on a building in Tallinn dating from 1909-10. What is fascinating is the evolution of the concept as ornament, so that in the Nordic countries, such as Finland, they may no longer be human figures at all, and reference historical cultural motifs. The related issue is what is a caryatid. The article seems to accept the evolution from free-standing column in a the form of a woman (if that is accepted as the original meaning of the term though that deserves a section in itself) to the use of the human form as decoration. I think that is the right approach (if not, there needs to be a clear link to another article helpfully titled). There will be learned articles, and probably books, on the subject.

Fair Use images on EN Wikipedia

Hello Carptrash. User:7&6=thirteen has suggested I should contact you in connection with problems related to Fair Use images on the EN Wikipedia. For a bit of background, you might like to look at the discussion on User_talk:Jameslwoodward#Fair_Use_image_deletion.

I must say, I've had a quick look through some of your work and can find nothing to indicate you have uploaded Free Use images of modern buildings on Wikipedia (rather than Commons) to avoid problems related to countries without FOP (Freedom of Panorama) on Commons. If you have, I would appreciate to learn how you managed to cope and whether you can provide any general guidance. Together with some other Wikipedians, I am considering writing something up, perhaps initially on Wikiproject Architecture. It seems to me a great pity that there are so few photos of modern buildings in France, Germany and even Dubai because of the copyright problem.

If this is not exactly your line, just let me know. - Ipigott (talk) 10:26, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to the ambassador program

Hi Carptrash!

Congratulations! Your application to join the Wikipedia Ambassador Program as an Online Ambassador has been accepted.

First off, I apologize for the following info-dump. If you're wondering how to get started or are wondering what's going on, please contact me.

If you haven't already done so, take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines: Wikipedia:Online_Ambassadors/Guidelines

The "mentorship process" section lays out approximately what will be expected of you as a mentor. If you'd like, you can also volunteer to be the coordinating online ambassador for a class or two.

Please add yourself to the top of the list of available mentors, and note the number of students you think you'd like to mentor at a time. (Don't add yourself to the lower "Additional online ambassadors section; that's for ambassadors-in-training and ambassadors who are already mentoring all the the students they want to take on.)

To coordinate between Online Ambassadors and Campus Ambassadors, we've been using a Google Group as a mailing list. It's not required, but almost all the ambassadors are on it. Would you like me to subscribe you? Email me with your email address if so.

You can catch with what's been going on so far with the first major message this term, with details about what the group should and shouldn't be used for: Wikipedia_talk:Ambassadors#Information_for_Ambassadors_about_January_-_May_2011_term

You can also check out the first two ambassador newsletters, which have more detail about what's been going on lately. You'll get future editions delivered to your talk page.

If you use IRC, please consider adding #wikipedia-en-ambassadors and #wikipedia-en-classroom to your channel lineup.

If you have any questions, please let me know. And if you're ready to jump in as a mentor, we could use you right now. The students in this course are looking for help getting their sandbox drafts ready for main space and moving them over. So you could volunteer as a mentor to a few of the individual students, or just go through and help some of them with the mainspace transition (and with DYK, where appropriate).

the United States Census refers Espanola, as Espanola. It is listed as "Espanola" on every government source. The discussion held previously had more for Espanola, than Española.

I haven't been to New Mexico in a long time, but the picture looks good (are there more than one?) CitizenKnowNothing (talk) 03:44, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Mora

I added information to the First Battle of Mora page. Unfortunately I don't see anything resembling the page for the Second Battle of Mora in the book I'm reading, but the book continues on from the first battle: "January 30th, the camp of Capt. Robinson was surprised, and tow hundred horses and mules driven off, and one man killed and two wounded. Major Edmonson marched to his relief from Vegas, and afterward followed the banditti into a dangerous canyon of the Canadian River at the mouth of the Mora; he reported, ‘the hills around them literally covered with Indians and Mexicans,’ estimated to be above four hundred. He fought his way through with much difficulty; but having to return the next day through the same canyon, he found ‘that the enemy had left on the night after the battle in great haste, leaving horses, cattle, camp equipage, etc., not taking time to scalp or strip our men lost in the action, as is their custom.’ He pursued, but found that they had dispersed after dividing their spoil. The enemy’s loss was reported to be forty-one killed.” - page 123

Hope that helps. CitizenKnowNothing (talk) 04:41, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

If I were looking for such a thing, I would contact all the local museums and ask them about it. If anyone would have such rare information, it would be them. CitizenKnowNothing (talk) 05:35, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

When I finish the current book I'll search for one that's more focused on New Mexico for you. I'm an Arizona resident so I've been picking journals from the Mormon Battalion and General Kearny's detachment that rode along the Gila River. Unfortunately for me, Arizona is one of the least significant territories that was campaigned in during the Mexican-American War...the Mormons built a road and captured Tucson without a fight (not very fun for reenacting).

You need to read Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Unsourced contentious material must be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion, and this most definitely includes allegations of murder and serious mental illness. We don't mess around with "citation needed" tags for this kind of content. You can only restore the material if you add good quality references for it. The burden is on the editor who wants to add this material to justify its inclusion, not me to justify removing it. Hut 8.5 23:55, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Several of those, especially [1] and [2] do not look like appropriate sources for this type of material (see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Avoid self-published sources). I've added some material to the article myself on this subject with proper sourcing. Hut 8.5 12:28, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Re: Richmond sculpture: I think it's the answer you were looking for

There are two old Union Stations in Richmond (and a smaller two, but with no sculpture), so I'll try for both. The clock at Main Street Station (Richmond, Virginia) seems to be terra cotta, which is easily manufactured off-site and mass-produced (like ornamental cast-iron) Several of my guidebooks which feature it, and the NatReg Nomination, give no clue there : (. The other is the Broad Street Station (Richmond). While the National Register is silent, "Buildings of Virginia: Tidewater and Piedmont" has the sculptor for the building as one U. Ricci (it notes the figures are Progress and Industry). Given the time period in which the building was done and the scale of the commission, that the architect was John Russell Pope, I am taking it to be this guy: Ulysses Ricci, which in a strange (or perhaps not so strange) coincidence, the page history shows that you yourself created! ; ) Hopefully this is of some use? Moreso, do you want a full citation for it? Morgan Riley (talk) 20:54, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

So I heard

Someone crying foul?

An email to the Rio Grande Sun, the gossip newspaper of Espanola, New Mexico. I read your reports on how you gave false information about what was discussed on here. Nice way of twisting everything up, hope to hear from you in the future. JHarrelson (talk) 21:50, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I hope that this is soon enough for you. I will post the same thing on your talk page to improve the chance of your seeing it. I am about to post the email that I sent the SUN and expect you to inform me (feel free to uses bold font to do so) which part of it is "false information" and what has been "twisted." Hope to hear from you in the future.

Hi,

I am a New Mexico Wikipedian who is engaged in a nasty fight on wikipedia over how to spell the name of the city of Española. My argument is with an editor who considers New Mexico Magazine to not be a credible source and also will not accept my email from the NM Secretary of State either.

His claim is that Española was founded by Anglos in the 1880s and they spelled it Espanola. He further claims that the name was never changed over to Española and thus the wikipedia article should be called “Espanola, New Mexico". My posting pictures of road signs, school buildings etc have not changed his mind. Not wanting to get into an edit war with him I have backed off but am now looking for an historically verifiable source as to the correct spelling of the town’s name and hope that you can help me out.

So, again, which part of this is "false" and which part "twisted"? Carptrash (talk) 23:09, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

When I went to post this reply at JHarrelson I discovered that he had been blocked - though for reasons, I believe, having nothing to do with our issue. Oh well. Carptrash (talk) 23:36, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Precision Bass players list

All the entries on the list need to have a verifiable, reliable source which is properly cited. Citing Wikipedia itself will not suffice, because anyone can change entries; there needs to be some sort of more authoritative reference. Being "well policed by editors who care what instrument is being played" is a great thing, but it is no substitute for reliable sources. Ordinary readers, as well as Wikipedians who do not work on the article, have no idea whether or not the list is accurate, or from where the information is derived. That is why citing reliable references is so important. Neutrality^talk 18:52, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

A photo would probably work. But every name on there needs some sort of source - we can't relying on readers trusting anonymous contributors. As far as "ignore all rules," the necessity for verifiable, reliable sources is fundamental: It is one of the Wikipedia:Core content policies, and is a principle rather than a rule. Wikipedia:What "Ignore all rules" means may be of assistance. Neutrality^talk 19:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed you shared your new article about Dudley Talcott on the Outcomes page.

I took a look at Talcott and noticed we don't have anything directly related to him within our Archives. I feel dreadful having to tell you, but, that's how it goes with this project.

Hi. I see that you recently removed an anon edit that appears to have been a good-faith edit (it seems a reasonable argument that a flat surface can't have erosion) but did not make any comments (e.g., "Citation needed") about the rest of the content of the paragraph, which is unsupported by any reference. Now, recalling when I dug on the Powell Tract, I don't think that the area is completely flat and I also think some kind of erosion might occur even on flat areas (but I'm an archaeologist and not a soil scientist), and I think the other ideas in the apragraph make archaeological sense considering various data, but simply as it stands it is not as tight an argument >logically< as what you cut. I don't have access to current literature, but maybe you can give a ref. to bolster the paragraph. Kdammers (talk) 10:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Clarification needed for File:Florek-wikipedia.jpg

Hi there. I found File:Florek-wikipedia.jpg when I was looking through Category:Wikipedia license migration needs review. The source explanation, "This photograph is from a non-copywrighted program from when Florek was a student at Eastern Michigan University." is a bit too vague.

Responding to query about Pullman Memorial Universalist Church

My apologies if I have gotten it wrong. My research for the Wiki article on the Pullman Church in Albion kept repeating Old English Gothic and Richardsonian Romanesque in the descriptions. Since you asked, I went out on the net to discover what the elements are of each and I think I have an answer.

The following style elements common to Richardsonian Romanesque are present in the Pullman Church: archivolt and compound arch main entrance door frame, semicircular arched windows - transom windows in a ribbon pattern - lining the top of the dome, rock-faced rough stone walls. The building features short, imposing, solid walls. Other elements of this style include short octagonal tower, squat chimneys, asymmetry, deep windows. All of these are exterior design elements. The Old English Gothic appears to be referring to how the interior was laid out and decorated.

If you do not feel that the church fits your article then I will remove the back link to your article from mine and remove my addition to your page. I'm not an architect, just writing and posting what the historians told me about the building.Pmucpastor (talk) 04:19, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

If you are unsure then it is good form to get another opinion. Thanks.Pmucpastor (talk) 04:40, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

I just ran across this entry while doing more research... http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Orleans_County_Courthouse_Historic_District

Halfway down the page is a section called "Three Churches" and the 4th paragraph uses the Richardsonian Romanesque description for the Pullman church. The footnote source seems to be my same historian, however, so I don't know if that's helpful.Pmucpastor (talk) 04:52, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Here is the text from the National Register of Historic Places Inventory form at http://www.oprhp.state.ny.us/hpimaging/hp_view.asp?GroupView=6751

"Albion's finest church is the Pullman Memorial Universalist Church. It was built in 1894 to the designs of Solon S. Beman (1853-1914), a Chicago architect who had been a student of Richard Upjohn and who was in particular demand as a designer of churches. Beman was also the architect George Pullman chose to build his railroad car manufacturing town in Illinois…Pullman agreed to erect this church at his own expense and put Beman in charge of the work. The building is a modified Richardsonian Romanesque (pointed arches replace the broad round arches Richardson favored) and, as with most of the other churches in the district, is a rather late manifestation of its style. Beman perceived the sympathy possible between rough hewn Median sandstone and the simple forms and heavy proportions of the Richardsonian style. The result is a compact, centralized building with a tower vaguely reminiscent of that over the crossing of Richardson's Trinity Church (1872) in Boston. The unpolished texture of the stone, the emphatic mural character of the design in which unfolded windows reveal the thickness of the fabric, and the composition of distinct units that are unified by strong horizontality and subordination to the crossing tower are the in the best Richardsonian tradition. Also like Richardson's churches, exterior massiveness and sobriety give way to spaciousness and color on the interior where Tiffany stained glass in rich hues of blues and purple combine with warm golden oak which is used for the beamed ceiling." Pmucpastor (talk) 05:19, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I am still curious to know Wetman's opinion if he responds. Oh, and thanks for etiquette protocols and encouragement.

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject New Mexico

It was recently suggested that WikiProject New Mexico, to which you are a member, may be inactive or semi-active and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. After reviewing the project it appears that there haven't been much active discussion on the talk page in some time and the only content updates appear to be simple maintenance so being supported by a larger project might be beneficial. I have begun a discussion on the projects talk page to see how the members of the project feel about this suggestion. Another user has added the project to the WPUS template and I added it to the list of supported projects in the WPUS main project page but before I take any further action I wanted to contact each of the active members for their input. --Kumioko (talk) 14:46, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

a lot of heart attacks there, but only (as far as I cold see) Tiny Tim had one on stage. Carptrash (talk) 18:43, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

There were a lot of them that died going to and from their gigs. Plane and auto crashes. E.g,,The day the music died. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:24, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Plane crashes. That leads to the "Dead Musicians Directory" which points out that Stuart Sutcliff (almost a Beatle) got hit in the head after a erpformacne and died of a cerebral hemorage. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:19, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

From the foregoing source: Leslie "Les" Harvey: Age 27 Stone The Crows (b. 1946, d. 3 May 1972). Leslie Harvey younger brother of Alex first recorded work was on an Alex Harvey LP called " The blues" in 1964 when Leslie was 16 years old. He joined his brothers band and from then until the formation of Stone The Crows in 1966 . The quintet's early blues-based albums were notable for both Maggie Bell and Jimmy Dewar's expressive vocals and Leslie Harvey's textured, economic guitar work. However, an inability to match their live popularity with record sales led to disaffection and both John McGuinness and Dewar left on completing ODE TO JOHN LAW. On 3 May 1972, Leslie Harvey died after being electrocuted onstage at Swansea's Top Rank Ballroom. Although the group completed a fourth album with Jimmy McCulloch from Thunderclap Newman, they lacked the heart to continue and broke up the following year.

Country Dick Montana: Age 40 (b. Carmel, CA, in 1955, d. November 8, 1995, in British Columbia, Canada) Beat Farmers Country Dick was more than some guy who'd fall off stage and drench you in his beer and sweat. Dick was also a visionary who predicted the current wave of Vegas chic long before Dean Martin became hip again, as well as being a twisted version of a high school cheerleader whose infectious optimism and sincere passion for music made him a continual inspiration of the California and national music scenes. He was a brave and tough mother, not only in how he faced some of the rowdiest audiences to walk in to a bar room, but also how he fought cancer the last few years. Then again, strange as it sounds, Dick was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew. Several years ago, at maybe the lowest point in my life, Dick was one of three people who stopped me from quitting music out of depression and frustration. I will always owe him for that and I will always miss him. Adios compadre. -Dave Alvin. On a cold November night in 1995, Country Dick Montana was on-stage at the Long Horn bar, doing what he loved most, performing, when he collapsed and died. He was only 40 years old, and his solo career was barely out of the starting gate. He had finished recording his excellent solo debut album only weeks before his sudden death 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:28, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Jim Gary - Sculpture article

Thanks, I appreciate your willingness to reconsider and especially for your patience to explore further with an open mind. I was going to drop the objection to the elimination of the sentence... just to avoid conflict. Figured that since the sentence had stood for so long, it would be foolish to try a rewrite. I will if it doesn't sit well... _ _ _ _ 83d40m (talk) 02:08, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

hello

Hello I do not know who I am talking to as I am not very literate with this technology. But thanks very much for your message which I managed to find! I see you are suggesting that I create a new user name to add that nice piece I added on racism! I do not really know how to create a new user name - it was a fluke that I even managed to make this user name to do edits! I am wondering now if I add only half of the material that I had created at the racism site - and leave out the last few sentences, if this will be OK? Then I will leave out the link. I just thought a website link is nice because it allows readers to immediately get to a page. But I can leave that out. And maybe I can just direct readers to the section on covert racism in the encyclopedia. I think that the ending as it is with that quote from Faegin in the USA is too abrupt an ending to the material on sociological definitions. So I think that something is needed there. And that is why I added also a reference to my book which is recent and which deals with contemporary forms of racism. I am now going to proceed with doing this and I hope you don't mind. If you do, you can always delete again! All good wishes to you, Norma

Sorry I do not know what you mean about signing out with 4 tildes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norma Romm (talk • contribs) 15:16, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

hello again from Norma

hello again from Norma. As you can see I am not fully literate and I do not kno wwhat it means to end the message with four tildes. Does it means I just go Norma Romm 15:46, 3 October 2011 (UTC) at the end?

Anyway, I changed the material on racism again - I feel that something is needed after that quote fromn Faegin that ends quite abrutply and also is about the USA. Also I ended with a note saying that from a sociological perspective ideally the aim is to seek ways of transforming social structures. I hope that you find it OK now. The idea of my creating a new user name is not ideal (as I suppose it means asking a friend or something to create a name and then make edits or my pretending to be someone else). This seems to be a weakness in the conflict of interest policy - as then you have no way of tracking the actual people. Anyway, I tried to keep things "neutral" while also updating the information on sociological definitions.

Thanks for your advice,

norma — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norma Romm (talk • contribs) 15:46, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

thanks I will try the tide key now.

Hello Carptrash

I think I will try to add something after that Faegin quote about police brutality in the USA that says that racism is often less blatant .... at the moment I think that that quote is not a good ending to the section.

I will now do this without mentioning my book on new racism!

But I think it is a pity because that book offers lots of definitions of different forms of racism ... and so fits nicely in that section.

Anyway, I will try to construct a sentence that says something about more covert forms of racism .... now I will try to sign off with the tides. Let's see if it works. Norma Romm 12:27, 4 October 2011 (UTC) Is that working for you? I held down the shift key and pressed the tide key 4 times but I cannot make out how this helps. Does this convert into my signature somehow. Sorry that I am slightly illiterate with this technology!

thanks for your help,

Classical references added for the Augustan solarium.

Many references of course for fasces (conveniently omitted by e.g. the Lincoln Memorial handbook) - but those are self-evident.

Not sure whether there has been modern discussion of the ideological concerns raised by the Washington Mall and its relationship to ancient Rome. Interestingly, the original designs indicate a design similar to the Cinquantenaire Park in Belgium - replete with Masonic themes!

I may not be trainable in terms of using this system of communication

Hi dear Carptrash

Thanks very much for your message that I received and then I pressed the edit function there so that the "show preview" box would appear and then I looked at my message and I sent if off. But I don't know if it reached you. When I looked at "my contributions" (later) I see that that message is under my name (norma romm talk) and not your name (as were the others - that is Carptrash talk). But the only thing that did work nicely was the 4 tildes that converted into my name. Anyway, I am curious to know if you can read that message that I created just after your message on my talk page. That way I was able to convert the tildes into Norma Romm (the machine did it automatically). Now I will sign too via those tildes but I think because I am using the "new message" function by your name it will not work (because it did not work last time). Anyway, sorry to trouble you with my illiteracy ... but thanks for all your attention to my messages and your trying to help . And don't worry if we cannot make further progress! With all good wishes from me, Norma Romm 15:35, 7 October 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norma Romm (talk • contribs)

you succesfully taught me to do the 4 tildes signing

hi again dear Carptrash

Well I see with interest that the message I left for you a few seconds ago did have my name at the end ... and I had used the 4 tildes - so the machine did indeed do the automatic conversion.

Anyway, thanks again for your time and it is nice to "meet" you virtually!

With good wishes from me and have a good weekend!

re freddie dreamers

this band is directly associated with freddie and the dreamers as it contains the best friend of FRreddie Garrity namely Nick Foti who ran the last remaining set of Dreamers for Freddie for six years until his retirement and early death in 2006g. He owns Freddies guitar which was left to him and signed to him as " to my best friend Nick Foti" .this is amongst many manuscripts and original emi recordigs and trophies that were also left to Nick Foti... The Kasuals do a proper and fitting tribute to Freddie and his music and if you wish to see any of this evidence , you are very welcome to visit anytime. I hope this clarifies the link....many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tiktaktaylor (talk • contribs) 11:31, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Gal Oya riots

Very few people care about these events in human history. So when they do and I happen to see it, just reacted. Thanks Kanatonian (talk)

Sometimess, those who care, care for all the wrong reasons, needing to protect the image of the "race" or country being one or to make the event look even more "bad" than it was. I for one grew up in Colombo during the 1980's riots and saw people getting killed infront of my eyes while sheltering in a helpful families home. My strugle was to keep a distant point of view (neutral, balanced) while writing about these. Even now I catch myself (or helpful others) not sticking to it, but when it is pointed out, it isnot difficult to correct.

rubric - from men's rights

it's more at sense 2 of wikt:rubric. the academic use is actually a derivative of that (one starts out with a rubric for what will be studied in a course, and that same rubric is then turned around to measure what was learned). If you think the word needs to be linked, I suggest you link it to the wiktionary definition. --Ludwigs2 15:56, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Lincoln Tomb and War Memorials

Recently you deleted information about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. We here at Lincoln Tomb feel that that was injustly done. I am the Volunteer Coordinator and I supervised the writing of the information about the Memorials. It is not plagiarized! We have used newspaper articles from the dedication and the "Illinois Vietnam Veterans Memorial Dedication" booklet to cull our facts. If you would like for me to put in footnotes/endnotes that we referenced, please let me know. The Vietnam Memorial is very much a part of the three memorials, and we strongly feel that you should put back the information that I provided.
