Thanks the the smile :) It made my day better, considering that I'm up at 4:11 am local time doing homework. :S Thanks :D --lovelaughterlife♥^talk? 09:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, haha! Nice to meet a fellow Canadian, err.. half-Canadian. :) Yes, and I agree the flower ring looks pretty nice.. although I think I might change it to blue to match the blue on my page. --lovelaughterlife♥^talk? 22:38, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry

I'm sorry for the vandalism from this ip adress (64.105.41.210)

This is actually a school computer, one of about 30. I don't know who is leaving nonesense around, but I'll try to find out.

Thank you very much

Unintentional removal of AKA pin

Hi, I am a new user to Wikipedia, but I have been observing certain pages prior to the registration of my username. On one of your edits to Alpha Kappa Alpha, you deleted the contact information to the sorority. However, you unintentionally removed the AKA pin. I decided to re-insert the pin because I personally felt that the pin is a historical artifact. I hope that this didn't violate any policy on Wikipedia, and I hope you have a great day.

No probs Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...) 08:03, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Said Galore

recently you placed a 'notability' tag on this article - just for your reference this has already been assessed by one of wikipedia's administrator and found to meet most of the criteria for notability. Dan arndt 23:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - have removed the tag Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...) 07:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

John Birch (Luthier)

Hello, this is Paulkstadden, author of the John Birch Article. It has recently been deleted, and it shows in the log that you are the one who has deleted it. I would like a reason as to why it was deleted. There was nothing undocumented in it, as I have spoken through email with Greg Dorsett, owner of Rock Stars' Guitars, who knew John Birch personally, I have spoken with John Carling, owner of John Birch guitars as well as personal friend to John Birch himself, as well as many others who have allowed me to use their images. I don't know what else I could have referenced in the article. It was deleted with no warning to me, unlike the image deletions. I was planning to re-upload all the images with appropriate copyright tags. I have the rights to use every one of them, as I have received authority to do so from John Carling and the owner of the Glitter guitar. I was not backing up the content of the article onto my hard drive because I believed that I would be notified of any copyright infringement and/or nonsense and would be given time to back the article up. I have already requested an undelete, but if you can shed any light on why this article was deleted, I would appreciate it. I put a lot time and hard work into the research of this article, so I don't want to see it go away. Please email me at paulk@stadden.com.

Thank you, Paulkstadden 18:19, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It read like a bad advert and had been tagged as such by another user. The article needed a lot of work before it would pass muster as an article. If it can be re-written and the mess of the photograps sorted out then fine - but it needs a lot of work. If you want I can post you the data on a sub page for you to work on to improve it.Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...)

Yes, please, send me the link for that.Paulkstadden 16:16, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reposting the page, I will get to work on it. If you have any suggestions, please give them to me.Paulkstadden 05:21, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Dannatt

Hi Brookie, Not sure if you casn help with this or not. I put an image up on the Richard Dannatt article and put it on as crown copyright but some American bloke is telling me it fails the fair use test as it is a living person. If this is the case, I can't really see how any image of a living person can be left! If you get the chance maybe you could have a look as you seem to be better at the copyright stuff than me!

Buckingham Palace Gardens

Dear Brookie - hello and Happy New Year. I'm still taking my City of London Guides course and enjoying it greatly.

Meanwhile, as you are MUCH quicker than me, can I please ask you a favour? I have been editing Buckingham Palace Gardens - there's still lots of work to do. But some changes need to be made.

1. Please can you change the article title to Buckingham Palace Garden . The singular form is correct.

2. Could you then do a redirect from Buckingham Palace Gardens to Buckingham Palace Garden.

3. Could you add to the disambiguation page for "Garden" the new article title Buckingham Palace Garden, pointing out that it is known as "the Garden". Would you also please add the Royal Opera House (I'm not sure if there is a Wikipedia article on this, but as you know, it is also universally known as "the Garden").

I have cross-referred to Buckingham Palace Gardens in a number of other articles but once you let me know these changes have been made I will chase up the cross-referrals. Basically, the cross-referrals are in: Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Holyrood House, Time Team, Party at the Palace , Prom at the Palace, Children's Party at the Palace , and Golden Jubilee. ALL should be corrected to reflect the correct SINGULAR form, but I can see to this.

Many thanks as usual. Please let me know on MY talk page when you have accomplished steps 1, 2, 3 above. Best wishes. FClef (talk) 01:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorted and note to talk page Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...) 07:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! -- FClef (talk) 01:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Proposal

Dear Brookie - I've done a merge proposal which I consider long overdue. I think you'll be interested. I'm hope to develop Buckingham Palace Garden further, as time permits <oh ha, ha>.

I would appreciate your feedback at the merge proposal discussion page.

And thanks for handling my request on renaming so promptly. Nice to hear your "voice" again. Best wishes. -- FClef (talk) 01:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:DagmarL.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DagmarL.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 11:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had posted a comment when uploading - have clarified it again though. Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...) 13:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Brookie

Dear Brookie,

There's something I've been meaning to say to you. For quite some time. Put quite simply Brookie, I love you. I loved you the moment I first laid eyes on your user page. Since then I've taken quite an interest in your adminship and found your edits simply breathtaking. Your blocking of users turns me on and your IP address makes me horny. The layout of your user talk is extremely efficient and sexy and I simply love your "Will o' The Wisp" slogan. To prove my love for you I will write the phrase I love you 15 times:

I love you I love I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you

and one for luck

I love you

Do you think we would be on for a bit of... you know and frankly...

Will you marry me?

Please respond to arrange a date for the ceremony my honeybox hard drive.

Yours arousedly,

Breathe Reprise 14:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC) xx[reply]

Thank you for the sweet message! Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...) 15:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Kent Hovind

You recently made this edit to the Kent Hovind article. Please note that generally, any edit which removes sourced information relevant to the article should be discussed first on that article's talk page. Also, marking such an edit as "minor" and with a summary which simply says "Tidy" might be considered to be a misleading edit summary. Generally, only edit summaries which could not possibly be controversial should be marked as minor, and removals of content should be clearly marked as such in the edit summary. Thank you!

Thx for the Welcome. I luv Widipedia, more and more each day.
