Joachim Gottschalk
Kurt:
Thanks for respositioning the photos. Looks a lot better that way.
What is your interest in Gottschalk?

It was, as you mentioned, probably database lag. Try my little trick for purging the cache and it will probably work next time. It was in the history when I looked, no more mystery than that. The current page was an empty one, which I gather you made? Anyway, if you need any more help, just ask. gkhan 22:07, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

I have not deleted this image. That is truly odd. I suspect that something went wrong on the backend. If the image is free, would you mind reuploading? Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 06:19, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
Audrey Hepburn
Re Audrey Hepburn image. I replaced it because I didn't think an encyclopedia should show children who come to use it for research a high-profile person smoking. Perhaps if you think it should remain then the article should include information on her addiction to tobacco and her numerous failed attempts to quit and how it killed her.

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. There is no connection between Hepburn's photo and the other two. Hepburn's is an "ad" that at the time it was taken was part of life (her most memorable image is with the long cigarette holder) but we now know that stars influence children and cigarette ads have been banned in most countries. Hollywood's use of them in film is very controversial. I very much support inserting the other war etc. type photos. Thanks.

User:KF/For future reference
Ah. Pearle was doing an automated sweep to change all instances of {{msg:foo}} to {{foo}}. Your page was checked in detail because it contains the string {{msg:inuse}}. This should be just {{inuse}} for compatibility with MediaWiki version 1.5, which will be installed on the Wikipedia servers in the coming weeks.
The reason this page was flagged for review was because its markup is relatively disorderly, compared to the typical article page, and Pearle was unable to automatically repair it. This makes perfect sense, since this page is not supposed to conform to the style guidelines for article pages. Pearle doesn't normally scan user pages for compliance with these guidelines, but yours was because of the msg: string. If you remove "msg:" from this page, it will no longer show up on future scans for this problem, whether it's Pearle that is doing them or someone else. If for some reason you would like to keep this string on your page, let me know, and I'll make a note to exclude this page on future checks. Sorry for the confusion, Beland 01:40, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Image of Anita Hill
The talk page implies that the image (Image:A Hill.jpg) cannot be used for commercial use which is not allowed under GFDL. Someone has apparently changed the template (after I originally applied it to the image in question) to denote that non-commercial uses images are now being considered for deletion. So, you will either have to find an image that can be used for commercial purposes, get permission for commercial use or eventually the image will be deleted. RedWolf 03:00, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
Did you know?
| Missing image Updated_DYK_query.png Updated DYK query | Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Verdict of Twelve, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently-created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |
Read on
Sorry, my mistake. Edit in haste, etc. I didn't notice the second "See also", and at the time it seemed preferbale to "Read on". But I note that "Read on" is used very often in book articles, and it's fine with me.

OK, done. Part of the your misgivings about the task may have been just lack of practice with structuring principles that took me months to arrive at, but if you'll look, you'll see i've got a "secret" beyond that: some pages can't be organized well within this scheme, and have to be broken up. (And there are other tricks; trying to do breakups without templates is likely to drive you batty (if you're conscientious), and the substantial experimentation that it took to come up with the nested-template method was really worth it -- but still doesn't make it immediately intuitive, i expect.)
Thanks for adding all those names, and for pointing it out to me. If you want to ask questions about what i did in response to yr note, they'd be welcome. But i'd be glad to do the same sorts of things after any future fits of name adding that you find yourself called to.

Gallagher
Having two lists of people named Gallagher is redundant, and it is easier to update one list than two. Saying the list was "deleted" is a bit misleading, as it was replaced with a link to a more complete list. All the information is still there. -R. fiend 14:35, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
