Your Grace, I just reviewed the history of your edits and every single one of them improved the article! You do great work and I really appreciate having you polish my (extremely) rough entries. I reckon I owe you a whole bag of Wiki-cookies for this. --Doc Tropics 19:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External Link

I just added a link to that specific article in the Christian Science Monitor, but I don't think I did it right. Help? --Doc Tropics 19:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right-o, I think i've fixed the link, just check that from your end to make sure, I think there's a dodgy cookie somewhere. The article looks about ready now. Do you want to submit it to Template talk:Did you know, or shall I? CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 20:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It looks good to me. It would be nice if you would submit it...then I can blame you if it fails :) --Doc Tropics 20:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. And I've just copied this to your usertalk, thought you'd missed it. CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 20:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, heh...it looks like we're editing on each others heels; i was just about to cross-post my reply --Doc Tropics 20:41, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Draft DYK entry

Ok, how's this:

...that Higgins Glass refers to fused glass functional artwork produced by Michael and Frances Higgins of Chicago, in the latter half of the 20th Century?

CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 20:51, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great! I forgot we needed an intro <slightly red in the face>. Go for it. --Doc Tropics 20:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added. CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 21:03, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, now we can take a breather and wait for some input. I've got to give you a lot of credit; when you polish an article it comes up shiny! --Doc Tropics 21:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article was selected for DYK!

A fact from Higgins Glass appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 June 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Higgins Glass (pictured) refers to fused glass functional artwork produced by Michael and Frances Higgins of Chicago, in the latter half of the 20th century?

AFD Message

Since this one is not listed under AFD and is a notable piece of art. I have removed the AFD Tag. It must have been added during the recent W.O.W. Attack on Wikipedia. Aeon 14:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The IP responsible also did the same to Old Market, so I gave a blatantvandal warning. It seems like such an honour to get the WoW treatment! CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 18:50, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure oh well at least it is fixed Aeon 18:52, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since having a page vandalized means someone actually noticed your work and cared enough to deface it, I'm willing to accept it as a compliment :) --Doc Tropics 18:56, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we should put a tag up saying "This article was vandalised by Willy on Wheels!", like a Featured Article tag. CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 18:59, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of a large block of text

I just removed a large block of text from this article because it was copied verbatim from the "History" page of the Higgins Glass website [1] - Xenxax (talk) 12:23, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
