[edit] Eva Hesse

Thanks for the additional material. Do you have any citation for the '62-'63 stuff? - Jmabel | Talk 23:06, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personally attacked

That's pretty vague. You are going to have to be concrete about who is attacking you and, typically, provide links like this to the edits in question when you remark on them.

If it is nothing too extreme, you might just use {{npa2}} on the person's user talk page (or, if someone already gave them that, {{npa3}}), accompanied by a clear link to what you consider an attack. If they've already had a few warnings like that, don't bother talking to them: report it at WP:PAIN. And if it is really bad, write it up at WP:AN/I, and feel free to ping me on my talk page to point me to it once you have done that. - Jmabel | Talk 18:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Further reply on my user talk page to avoid splitting it up too much. I'll be calling it a night within the next half hour or so. - Jmabel | Talk 06:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Approaching someone anonymously when you are in conflict with them is not generally a good idea, since it is reasonable of them to assume the worst. Just disengage, at least for a while. - Jmabel | Talk 15:56, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I pulled your personal info back off her entry on my talk page (after she reverted your revert), and replied to her that I was doing so because I want to respect the identities of both you and her. I see that you've already pretty much resolved that with Jmabel. Akradecki 17:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you very much for your support. I certainly appreciate it. Biruitorul 23:25, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio on Paul Durand-Ruel

Hi. I see you reverted user:Quarma's removal of copyright-violating content from this article. The material was taken from [1] and copied in large part word-for-word. This is particularly unacceptable if it is not attributed, but copyright violation is copyright violation whether it is acknowledged or not. Please, by all means use this as a source, but do not use its wording. you may wish to investigate our Wikipedia:copyright policy. Morwen - Talk 15:18, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Point taken, I didn't take the time to establish what was copyvio material and what wasn't, as might have been ideal. If you wish to restore the non-copyvio material that would be great. User:Quarma tells me they have a book about the person in question and hope to flesh it out a bit more, as well. Morwen - Talk 12:52, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of years in art

Great work over the last few days. The article has substantially improved. + Ceoil 21:57, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] page you have contributed to is in danger of deletion

Hello - you might be interested in expressing an opinion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_songs_containing_covert_references_to_real_musicians, where they are considering removing this article from Wikipedia. Tvoz | talk 09:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Modernist, thanks for your support in my successful RfA. As the picture shows, the goddesses have already bestowed my new weapons, which I hope to use to good effect.
