Emm

It often occurs to me that the note I left you at T:TDYK a year and a half ago is the best edit I ever made. Emmeline Pankhurst, honestly being better than every article edit I've ever made combined, is yet more proof of this. Honestly it's Main Pages like today's that make me proud to be a Wikipedian and keep me coming back to this rather wacky project. Here's wishing you and Lady Scartol the happiest of Holidays! --JayHenry (talk) 06:39, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Podcast on controversial articles, part the second

Scartol, I have recently gotten out of the hospital. I won't be editing much for a while. If you want to organize the second part of the controversial articles podcast without me, I think you should go ahead. I won't be able to do much for a few weeks. Awadewit (talk) 03:25, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

My pictures from Egypt and India are up on Flickr. If you register, you can see them. Most of them are currently restricted to family and friends. If you register, let me know and I'll send you my username. Awadewit (talk) 07:56, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Laying vs. lying

Scartol, thanks for your correction to I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. I wasn't stupid on purpose, I swear! I did some sandboxing in Word, and its spell check told me to change it. It just goes to show the value of collaboration here on the ol' project, eh?

You might have noticed that I've been working on your suggestions to the article. It's been a little slow, since things have been busy IRL. I think that the changes I've made have gone far in improving the article as a whole. Again, thanks for your input. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 23:04, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Emmeline Pankhurst

Scartol, I have contacted Jad Adams, the Pankhurst biographer, to clarify the situation regarding her being refused membership of the ILP. It was the local branch of the ILP which refused her admittance - she did join the ILP eventually (see the amended article and my user page). Rif Winfield (talk) 07:18, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Barton

Well, one solution is to combine all of the people that influenced the film's characters into one section of "Individuals" or "People".

As for Golem, is it supposed to illustrate "The Common Man" or "Religion"? None of the text next to the image talk about Golem, so the image seems out of place.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 18:52, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Then that makes the golem image questionable. No one is talking about that specific image, but the idea of "golem". You really don't need an image for that, because the image doesn't help the reader understand the idea of "golem".  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 19:18, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for your kind comment regarding my effort to streamline the Barton Fink webpage, and for your request that I re-add italics to all movie titles. I did read the MOS regarding italics, and I agree that film titles need italics. However, the MOS is silent regarding multiple uses of the title in a page, which is what I was addressing on BF. I have been taught that italics are only necessary on the first occurrence of a word in a discussion (in order to identify how that word is to be understood - in this case, as the title of a movie), and after that, the italics are to be omitted, as they only detract the reader . . What do you think ? your further input would be appreciated.Raymondwinn (talk) 16:10, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Caged Bird

Scartol, yes, I have completed tackling your comments about this article. It only took forever! Yah, take your time in addressing them. I'm trying to learn to take the time article need and deserve, instead of being all in a hurry and rushing through. Thanks again for your input; I believe that the article is much improved as a result. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 20:37, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

It's Thursday

Hey Scar, you said that if you hadn't gotten to viewing my changes to I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Wednesday of this week, to ping you. So consider yourself pinged. If you're still busy, don't sweat it--I know that you're a teacher the week before Xmas break. And next week is Xmas, so you should have lots of time then, right! ;) Like I said, no hurries: I'm keeping myself busy working on some Sesame Street articles, as I have time. Thanks, and happy holidays! --Figureskatingfan (talk) 18:39, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

No sweat. Snow day, eh? I probably have one tomorrow, too, but I'll be home because both kids have strep. The second time this month! Take your time. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 04:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
