George Victor Browning

Hmm good question, i'm not too sure why I removed that part. Possibly because it sounded odd in the context it was being used. I have since reinstated the said sentence so it now reads:

Bishop Browning was born in Brighton, England on September 28 1942. His family were dairy farmers in Sussex. He attended Ardingly College and Lewes County Grammar School, before moving to Australia in 1960.

He initially worked as a jackeroo and stud groom, and then studied at St John's Theological College, Morpeth, where he obtained a Licentiate in Theology with first class honours. He was made deacon in 1966 and ordained priest in 1967.

Appologies. Jamesmh2006 (talk) 15:28, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. The bit of info fits better now, the way you've reinstated it. No need to apologize! You've improved the piece. — Writegeist (talk) 19:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Hudson Hornet

Thanks for adding the reference in the Hudson Hornet article for the quote that I used to help introduce the section about the car's NASCAR fame. I was not finished working on it, but had to take a break. As you can see, there are many more things that need to be added within this section, as well as to the entire article. Carry on! — CZmarlin (talk) 22:40, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Ford Mustang

Hi, I have noticed you are a contributor to the Ford Mustang article, you might want to read the comment I left on the talk page and let me know if you are interested.--Theoneintraining (talk) 03:47, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the Ford mustang AV8ER, after leaving that message on the ford mustang page I found the Ford Mustang variants article and found there is a segment regarding the AV8ER however there is no picture associated with it (here is the exact part here. I think it would be perfect for that but I do think it would be good on the ford mustang page also. One thing though I have never uploaded a picture to the commons. Can you briefly explain to me how it works? or can I email it to you?--Theoneintraining (talk) 03:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Theoneintraining (incidentally I have a son who, also inspired by The Matrix, adopted Neo's name). I think you might find it interesting to upload the image yourself. After you've done one you you'll know how to do more as and when you want. You'll get all the help you need here: Commons:First steps/Upload form. It's easy once you get into it. Any problems, I'll be happy to help out. Let's keep your email idea in reserve, at least until you've had a go. Is this OK with you? — Writegeist (talk) 06:24, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Of course no problems, thanks for the information I will have a read now and let you know when it is up. To be honest I really do want to know the whole uploading image part on here. Considering I have been a Wikipedian for well over a year now it is kind of pathetic that I have not done it before. and oh yeah I love the matrix I hope you have seen those films before.--Theoneintraining (talk) 06:58, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I done it, it is now in commons here is the link to the picture http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Ford_mustang_AV8ER.jpg thanks for your help--Theoneintraining (talk) 16:00, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Bravo! And also for your perseverance in getting it into the Mustang Variants article. I hope we'll see more of your contributions here and there on WP now. — Writegeist (talk) 03:20, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Cheers Writegeist.--Theoneintraining (talk) 05:08, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Anon

Yeah, he's provokable. Best response is to ignore him.--Loodog (talk) 03:27, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Seems this WP article is tailor-made for him. — Writegeist (talk) 18:44, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Apologies for replying to your reply there before I replied to you here. No discourtesy intended! — Writegeist (talk) 00:03, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm disappointed that you have defied the consensus. Why didn't you just go ahead and do what you want in the first place, and save all of us the time and trouble of discussing and deciding the matter?[1] I plan to revert tomorrow, if you don't do so sooner.Ferrylodge (talk) 22:26, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I rather assumed that you and some others were capable of objective judgement. I'm disappointed that, in the event, you are enforcing a consensus of subjective views about which picture makes a candidate for vice-president look "hot" etc., while disregarding the more weighty rational discussion that opposes them; and also that you trumpet the consensus for no better reason than that it coincides with your own subjective view.

And I'm disappointed that I ever got it into my head that you uphold the core values of WP over the bigotry of personal prejudice. But it takes all sorts. Personally of course I'm pleased with any outcome that does a disservice to the seriously dangerous Palin cause. But when I peer out from under the brim of my WP hat, a lousy-quality photo of the candidate looks to be a poor show so far as serving the best interests of WP readers is concerned. Kind regards, Writegeist (talk) 23:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

The "hot" business was humor. I obtained two of the photos in question, and I'm glad you liked one of them. The other will be replaced soon enough, as soon as a better one is available. Cheers.Ferrylodge (talk) 00:22, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes indeed. This whole storm in a teacup is WP as Monty Python. :~) Writegeist (talk) 05:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

thanks

Thank you for weighing in on the Talk: Sarah Palin issue of retaining the commentary from the AP and CNN about her doing interviews. Dave Collect (talk) 20:31, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

My pleasure. I appreciate the note. Writegeist (talk) 07:28, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Excellent Yeahbuttal !

Never heard anybody else use that term before. Now I'll have me some hotdish before bed...Factchecker atyourservice (talk) 03:48, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

"Yeahbuttal" is delicious. (I shall plagiarise it.) Not sure about the hotdish, though. That "binding ingredient" sounds a little scary. Does Dave Collect partake of hotdish too? Does the binding ingredient contribute to the intellectual rigor that you both so conscientiously exercise on the Palin stuff? I find it difficult to maintain cool neutrality. — Writegeist (talk) 07:39, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
