Is everything okay?

I see that you erased your comments from the Talk:Dalmatian page. I suppose it's in reaction to VanTucky's erasing of the images you posted to the article. Personally I think s/he went a little to far by deleting your images without discussion on the article's talk page. I'm going to address that.

Also, to answer your question in the comment you erased from the talk page, what happened to the old discussions was that they got left behind when another editor moved the article back from "Dalmatian (dog)" to "Dalmatian" by using cut & paste rather than using the move function. Then another editor set up an archive page with part of the old talk page contents but didn't provide a link to it from the current talk page. When I set up the request for the cut & paste move to be repaired, I moved the rest of the old talk page to the archive and created an archive link... otherwise information might have gotten lost.

Lastly, would you mind restoring your comments to the Dalmatian talk page? Traditionally, when one wants to take back one's comments, one strikes them out, like so, by surrounding the relevant text with <s></s>. There's also a button on the tool bar above the edit window to allow you to apply that to highlighted text.

Hope everything is well with you, and you don't let this get to you too much. Remember, it's all just a bunch of bits on an ugly rack of computer servers down in Florida. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 03:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for answering my question about the old talk page; I wasn't sure where it went and it was quite detailed! I didn't realize there was a "wiki etiquette" regarding removing comments. I would be happpy to repost--I am not a big Wiki editor, so I am not sure how to do it though. Is there a help page for re-posting?

And finally, thanks very much for your friendly post. I was infact mildly offended by Tucky's comments and the fact that he erased my pictures. Mostly because I am quite invovled in the purebred dog world, particularily Dalmatians and I was quite disapointed to find that most of the pictures of the dog breed pages are of very poor quality dogs that don't measure up to the breed standard. I figure that since it is an encyclopedia, it is important to have good quality pictures that best represent the breed in question. It just annoyed me that someone would just take them right off without discussing it. Thanks again for the note!Mllefantine 19:23, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
