RE: Ashley Cheadle

Heh, I was only doing my job. As for the tag - an error on my part, I must have forgotten - it's gone now. Thanks for contributing, hopefully that article will continue to improve! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 07:59, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification

Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Israeli apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 18:05, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Tipping Point

I was hoping you could reassess the changes to the article, to see whether the balance is more appropriate.

Thanks,

Your awfully knee jerk desire to delete the "Batman's career timeline" article challenged

Batman is one of the most iconic, recognizable characters in all of comics. He has been around since 1939 and has had numerous adaptions made about him (via animation, live-action television and film, and video games). It would do the character more good (in terms of serving as a relatively important history lesson) than you could imagine to showcase a "career timeline" through all of the important eras/ages in the comics. Besides, if you're going to delete this article about Batman's career timeline and more importantly, his evolution as a superhero/crime fighter, then you might as well do the same about the article entitled "History of Superman".

• Editor posted the exact same paragraph in the AfD for public discussion, so I won't respond in Talk. Townlake (talk) 04:49, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

FYI, my own response to this is here.  Frank  |  talk  15:04, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Your comment on my RfA about the layout on my userpage

Hi there, I had replied to your comment on my RfA but now I reordered them on my userpage, using a scrolling div-container. I have only IE6 on my PC (which comes with XP) but if you have other browsers (like IE7), could you take a look and see if you spot any problems with that new layout? I'd value your input in that matter. Regards SoWhy 17:56, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for responding to my RfA comment so quickly. I'm currently on my IE7 comp, saw no issues with the new userbox-box layout; will try from my IE6 comp tonight and make sure it works there too. (I felt a little silly dinging you for that, but appearances do matter... if I switch, which I may well do now, it'll likely be to support. I'm glad the discussion seems to be going well for you, and I applaud your eagerness to address the concerns people have raised.) Townlake (talk) 21:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I have no IE installed but I got the IE tab extension for Firefox and tried it with it, so I'd be grateful if you could test it from a native IE window.

Do not feel silly, I understand your point. I actually thought it was quite good designed, because it was sound CSS and XHTML, nothing fancy, but I never considered trying with IE6 and low resolution, so I didn't notice that. I discovered the layout I use now on someone else's userpage and I think it's quite good because it also saves space without having to remove any content.

As for the eagerness to address concerns, well, that's what life is all about. If you realize that you made a mistake, you should admit it and try to change it. I have not changed my stance with the userbox that everyone discusses for example but I admit that it might sound a bit more than I originally thought it did and so I changed it. It's a fine line though between addressing concerns or admitting mistakes and catering to people, trying to influence their decisions. Some people will assume the latter when you intent to do the former, but that should not stop you from doing the former. I hope you don't think that I try that here. You had a good point and I admit that. I cannot stress it enough that I am completely fine with whatever !vote you choose to place. Have a nice evening! SoWhy 23:16, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Just quickly following up, I looked at your user page in native IE6 and it looks much better now! No remaining issues I can see. All the best. Townlake (talk) 01:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again for your help, have a nice day! :-) SoWhy 10:49, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
