Welcome!

Hello, Mountshang, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Being blocked[edit]

I noticed your post on WP:AN. The message you reported was: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Cculber007". The reason given for Cculber007's block is: "Wikipedia:No legal threats".

This isn't saying User:Cculber007 blocked you, but that you had the same IP address as a user who had been blocked (in this case that user was Cculber007'), that user was blocked for making legal threats. To stop individuals simply vandalising etc. until blocked, then creating another account and continuing the software automatically blocks other users apparently coming from the same IP address, sometimes this may impact legitimate users. The message should also have said who blocked Cculber007 so you should have been able to email that admin to resolve the problem. Hope this helps. --pgk^(talk) 21:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: If I am not mistaken, you are using AOL, so many people share your IP addresses. I hope it was not too much of an inconvenience for you. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 22:24, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry that happened. The block log is here. In case it ever happens again, you can go to the user page of any current administrator, and send him/her an e-mail through the "E-mail this user" link at the side of the page. If you look at the "Special contributions" link at the side of the user page, you'll get an idea as to whether or not the administrator is online. Obviously you don't want to choose one who's away all week! Hope that helps. AnnH ^(talk) 22:56, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re: art page[edit]

Hi Mountshag. Looking back, your version of the introduction was not as bad as I must have thought at the time. However, I still don't think it was better than the existing version. It lacked a coherent description and overview of art. I do like that you attempted to outline the changing conceptions of the term, but I feel that this could be made clearer and more concise. I found the third paragraph particularly unclear. I also think that some mention should be given to the forms of art and variations of the term. (Aside from content, it contained minor misspellings and poorly integrated text). Happy editing, --cj | talk 14:51, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sculpture of the United States pictures[edit]

It's not so much that I prefer it like that, but before the formatting was insane, the pictures were skewed across the screen and the text was all chopped up and mangled, maybe it looks alright in your browser or something, but it is bad practice to format by inserting lots of newlines.

Milton Horn[edit]

Hello M: I have been working on the article on Milton Horn and have a question about your photo. I am wondering where the piece is located? To my eye the piece that you photographed is a small section of the Hymn to Water panel on the Chicago Filtration Plant. It is not unusual for a sculptor to use parts of a larger work elsewhere, I'm just wondering, "Where?" Carptrash 17:42, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We need to talk[edit]

As I recall, you are in Chicago. I am working [in the sense of putting in a fair amount of time & effort, as opposed to getting paid] on a project involving Rene Paul Chambellan and need someone in Chicago to help out. I have a daughter there, but you know a lot more about sculpture and she just got her first camera for Christmas and probably needs a less stressful way to learn to use it than taking pictures for her Dad. If you are interested in chatting about this drop me an email at eeklon at yahoo dot com - Life is supposed to be fun. Carptrash 03:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello C; Yes, your previous try at contacting for sure got lost. I might be late paying my bills on occasion, but I am very punctual when chatting about sculpture. I have discovered that Chambellan's grandson - with whom I am corresponding about his grandfather, is going to visit Chicago, so will probably get the shots he needs. Your camera is doing very well in providing good images. Many of my shots were taken long ago, developed at the local drugstore and then scanned on my no-too-cool flatbed scanner, so there is a lot of loss of detail along the way. My current plan involves getting a digital back for my hasselblad, but that involves winning the lotto or robbing a bank or something. Meanwhile, I am torn bertween expanding the Sc of Am article or filling it in. Likely I will do a bit of both, as my Muse whispers in my ear and as opportunities present themselves. I have been going mildly nuts trying to find a particular Milton Horn reference to his work with FLW, and just discovered it, in Art in Modern Architecture - so that will appear in his References section along with a addition or two. Life is good, Einar Carptrash 15:46, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

chatting about Horn and his wife is NOT pestering. I love that stuff. I'll be 102 in 2050, so how about we set up a date for then right now. I was somewhere in America years ago and discovered a Horn relief on the outside of [as I remember it] a Jewish Old Folks Home, and I took a picture of it, a slide, but I can't find it and I do not even remember what state it was in .. I think Ohio or Pennsylvania, but ??????? Anyway, I am combing through my slide albums hoping. I just received my "breakfast is on call - so I'm outta here.

Unblock request granted[edit]

You have been unblocked as requested. To prevent abuse of Wikipedia, it's unfortunately necessary to autoblock IP addresses recently used by blocked users. Although this theoretically shouldn't affect registered users, a software "feature" tends to autoblock a few accounts. We apologize for the inconvenience. // Pathoschild (_admin / ^talk) 05:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:AIC-Boddhisatva-side.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:AIC-Boddhisatva-side.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —GFOLEY FOUR— 22:08, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
