Hi. When you recently edited Walter Diesendorf, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Camperdown (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

March 2012 - Talk Page
I noticed you left a comment on the talk page - Elizabeth II, for another editor. If you are telling another editor something, please use their talk page, conveniently provided for you in future. I know it was about the something that happened around the article, however you were trying to contact a specific editor. See W:TPG. contact me for any further information.--Chip123456 (talk) 19:37, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
DYK for Walter Diesendorf
 | On 10 March 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Walter Diesendorf, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Walter Diesendorf was employed to perform abstruse technical calculations which could not be done by an ordinary engineer in Australia or anywhere else? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Walter Diesendorf.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hey Amanda, here is me again asking for more help! I'm slowly working the Netherlandish page towards FAC. But its a big, expansive project and I am just an enthusiast. I see the work as about 40% done; the article is around 50kb, will end up at somewhere around 80kb. But it needs fine tuning and direction before it is expanded any more, hence my annoying and calling in the heavies, ie you and Johnbod. You have been such a help to me in the past and brough my pages way past what I might have been able to manage on my own, and the article covers the period you seems interested in most, its just a little to the north ;) There has not been an FAC on an art movement yet, so im kind of treading water. What I hope for at the moment is not you looking closely at the content (I will need that in time), so much as the structure and approach.
To a certain extent I'm following your tact with "Romanesque architecture", half the reason I'm asking you to colleborate is you are one of the only editors Ive seen to be sucessfully able to put together large, expansive articles. So far it just been myself and Liz; we can do nearly all of the heavy lifting as regards content, but we need advice, direction and a steer. Only reward I can offer is this nice chorus.

- I think you might be right about the lenght of the lead; and suggestions as to what to move. Ceoil (talk) 22:41, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
Monna Lisa
But I still see "Cunt" Lisa... Americans... ;) --Sailko (talk) 07:54, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
- The French version of the Louvre page about the painting says "Monna", but the English one says "Mona", so whatever, let's keep the cunt, if they prefer to. --Sailko (talk) 10:08, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- Please take the trouble to read and respond on the talk page. Indeed, you should be responding there before reverting per WP:BRD. The fact that some ignorant Italian kids know rude words but know nothing of the history of orthography should not be a reason for misrepresenting the facts. Paul B (talk) 13:39, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- The phrase "some ignorant Italian kids" clearly does not refer to a specific editor, since it is a plural. In fact I was referring to the two contributors to the "Bad Italian" section of the talk page. And yes, it is ignorance. Your own actions produced this response. You did not bother to read the talk page and just altered long-standing text on the basis of uncited personal opinion. For a "veteran editor", that's very novice-like behaviour. Paul B (talk) 07:55, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
- I have not been back to the talk page, no. I will have a look now. Paul B (talk) 11:31, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
