[edit] J. R. Ackerley
Hey, GG,
After more than a week it seems you and I are the only people interested in the issue of merging the two articles about J. R. Ackerley. Perhaps we should go ahead and do it. In case you missed my comment, by the way, I agree wholeheartedly with your comments about attempts to interpret Ackerley exclusively as a homosexual writer. I'm sure Ackerley would have thought them hilarious. John FitzGerald 15:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry I missed your reply on August 7 – I have to check the chamge page, eh? Anyway, I've read it now and am glad you agree. Since you suggested the merger I suggest you ahould get to merge it. John FitzGerald 13:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi GG – Like your plan. To redirect once you've finished merging just replace the page with #REDIRECT followed by a link to the page you're redirecting to. If there's any problems you can always retrieve the old version and start over. John FitzGerald 15:20, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Forgot -- There should be a space between the initials, which is another reason to use the longer article.
I hadn't seen the finished merge unntil you notified me – I'd checked earlier but you appeared to still be working on it. It's a good job, and thanks for doing it. That article's had a rough old time, but it's looking good now. As for the photograph, some of his as a young man should be out of copyright now. I'll see what I can find.

- You've fleshed out the article admirably. Thanks. Considering how much inaccurate description there is of Ackerley and his life, I'm happy that this article has developed into one which actually pays attention to the details of his life. Ackerley was turned into a demonic mythical figure by some. I realize that in many ways he was far from exemplary, but further vices were invented for him. John FitzGerald 23:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright
Wikipedia:Fair_use#Images seems to me to imply that a cover photo is OK. I'll check with an administrator or whatever they call themselves, though. John FitzGerald 21:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- No luck so far. Maybe I'll try another administrator. John FitzGerald 00:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- But I see you've added it. As I said, I imagine it's OK. Still haven't looked to see if I have any old pictures I can scan.

- We'll see; from what you sent it seems to be ok / fair use....--grimbleGrumble 12:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- I got an answer, which was the same as our conclusion -- that is, it seems to all right. John FitzGerald 17:10, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Supermodels
Hey!! There are alot of supermodel stubs here at wikipedia. The only non stubs seem to be the VS Angels. I was wondering if you could please help add more/edit articles of supermodels such as Doutzen Kroes, Jessica Stam, Gemma Ward, and Bianca Balti. Thanks. Lil Flip246 16:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
