Happy Birthday, Arpingstone! -- preschooler@heart 23:05, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for editing my entry. A quick note, though. I assume you removed "massive amount" because it sounded POV. Do you have an idea for alternative wording that indicates the amount of messages without removing it entirely? Also, I think your rewrite has a stray comma introducing a clause that isn't actually a clause. I'll go chance that last bit. Please answer on my talk page. - Mgm|^(talk) 15:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I recently uploaded this image from the German Wikipedia. On the German wikipedia, the license had the letter 'c' in grey with a strike through. I didn't know what that corresponded to in the english one. Could you please check it out in the German Wikipedia and apply a suitable license tag.

Thanks for the fix

Thank you for cleaning up this page! It had been massacred and looked terrible. Nice to have somebody with an EYE around! --ITech 21:19, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your nice comment is appreciated. Thanks - Adrian Pingstone 05:40, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adrian, I thought you might be interested in my proposal for a Bristol WikiProject photo challenge/contest thing. Joe D (t) 03:50, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I don't want to be "challenged" in my retirement (please imagine a smiley here) but thanks anyway for asking - Adrian Pingstone 05:40, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adrian: I apologize for my bad manners. I am fairly new to editing others' work and you have taught me a valuable lesson. Thank you! User:Argos'Dad

Thank you for such a graceful apology, fully accepted of course. Best Wishes - Adrian Pingstone 22:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! My name is Zoltán Szőke. I work for the National Archives of Hungary (former ICCS member state!!!). I wrote my M.A. thesis on the ICCS (dealing mainly with the "controversial" role of the Hungarian delegation...) According to tens of thousands of primary archival sources there was an "of" in the commission’s name instead of a "for". It should be changed in the title of the article, too. I just couldn’t find out how. I'll be back later with more.

I'm not sure what you'd like me to do for you but whatever it is it's unlikely I can help. I merely edited the article to make it better. My normal activity is adding pictures to articles so I don't how to rename an article. It wouild be best to go to the Help Desk here and type your question in - Adrian Pingstone 15:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the reaction. Furthermore see Wikipedia:Help desk--Jaak Nijssen 10:45, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just read"Adrian: I apologize for my bad manners." - so: I sincerely apologize for my bad manners.

In my article, the first step is now made. Thank you for the help.

The second filling in of the planned work is coming soon--Jaak Nijssen 10:45, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your apologies. I'm sure the article will become a good one as more material is added. Best Wishes - Adrian Pingstone 16:05, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since your photograph of the peccary was released in the public domain, I thought it would be an excellent candidate to accompany the main page of my new animal short fiction magazine (still in the works). Just so you know. :) Here's the link. - Mgm|^(talk) 19:53, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for using my peccary pic. As you will have noticed the focus is very poor on the bigger pic, but luckily the thumbnmail looks reasonable. Best Wishes - Adrian Pingstone 09:08, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You get funnels on ships; never on steam engines. — Dunc|☺ 18:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know that, thanks - Adrian Pingstone 08:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! You supported the Hummingbird Hawk-moth FPC (like everyone else who commented), but HighInBC uploaded an edit that absolutely no-one commented on. I can't promote the image without knowing which version to promote, so now I have to ask everyone which version they prefer. Would you mind specifying which image you are supporting? Thanks. Raven4x4x 09:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done (support either) - Adrian Pingstone 10:19, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I originally just posted this to talk:contrails, but saw your name repeated in the edit history, though it might be of interest to you.

Some people theorize vapour trails are chemical or biological agents being secretly released in the air, says Wikipedia, an Internet encyclopedia. Chemtrails refer to systematic, high-altitude dumping of unknown substances for some undisclosed purpose. Theories proposed for their purpose include atmospheric and weather modification, biological warfare, mind control and military uses. -- Kerry Hall's "Contrails: a problem all their own", Parksville Qualicum News

When I thanked the newspaper for referencing us in the article, the reporter replied that Phil Austin, at cloud physicist at University of British Columbia (who was quoted in the story), thought this was a good explaination of the topic. Thumbs up, everyone who worked on this! -- Zanimum 17:12, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm a great admirer of your photos and see you at Featured Pictures quite a lot. I'd be interested if you could review my picture gallery, especially Image:TornadoTakeoffJM.jpg and see if you think any of them might be eligible for FP status. Be as critical as you like, I am looking for honest feedback here. Thanks. --Guinnog 11:13, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
