Yes, I had a hard time but I've learnt a lot so I'm glad the peacock episode happened.
Absolutely agreed about the bridge caption, it was too long but I hadn't noticed. So I've chopped out the confusing bit about the viaduct and altered "bridge proper" to "shipping channel" because shipping (not much of it!) can only go through between those towers. Any other comments on anything I do are welcome.
Thanks for your input and your kindness. You have a nice way of mixing criticism with compliments, I go for that approach! -- Arpingstone 11:24 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)
- Just thought I'd tell you Tarquin has moved the pic we are talking about off to the right, probably for the sake of variety. I'm happy about that. --Arpingstone 11:29 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)
- Yet another thought! Is there an edit command to reduce the font size? I don't see anything in the "how to edit" page. The caption is still a little long but I don't want to chop out any more words. -- Arpingstone 11:36 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)
- You can use subscript: like this. - Patrick 11:45 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)
I'm sure you'll be fine with the David Mason excerpt - as you say, it's only short, and we're an educational site, and I'm sure it will be fair use. Should somebody decide to complain about it, then we can just take it down. We can also offer you up as a sacrifice to the lawyers - I'm sure you'll agree that a three year sentence is a small price to pay for saving the 'pedia :) --Camembert
I've answered your Q on my talk page this time - variety is the spice of life and all that. --Camembert
Hi! Adrian here. Not sure who invented the "expert on Filton" bit which I certainly am not (although I did work at BAe from 1957 to 1993).
However, my point in writing is to tell you I've been a bit naughty and embedded your St Mary Redcliffe pic into the text. If you don't like what I've done then please revert. The only thing I would like to improve on my mod is to pull the text a little away from the left edge of the pic. If you know a way of doing that please let me know. -- Adrian 18:57 Feb 27, 2003 (UTC)
Nevilley, I've done the "Concorde and Bristol" addition to the Bristol article. I hope it's at least a basis for someone to add to it or modify it (or even leave it alone, but that's not likely because I'm not a natural writer!) -- Arpingstone 22:35 Feb 27, 2003 (UTC)
- I've just noticed that there are no links in my piece. I'll do them tomorrow, bedtime now!! -- Arpingstone 22:43 Feb 27, 2003 (UTC)
On the subject of violinists, the word "fiddler" is one often applied to someone who plays the instrument in a non-standard way - as jazz and pop musicians tend to. I know it's rather an old-fashioned term now, though. But you rarely (or do I mean I rarely?) hear, for example, the violin player in a pop group (another old-fashioned term, I suppose) being referred to as a "violinist". Deb 17:32 Feb 28, 2003 (UTC)
I'll be honest -- Although I still think what I put is okay, I don't really care at all if someone changes it or even deletes it. The term, "violinist", can have a lot of nuances. I used to play the violin myself, and that's the main reason I looked at the page. Then I noticed that the definition was looking a bit thin. Deb 19:12 Feb 28, 2003 (UTC)
I'm not familiar with the series of books you mentioned, but you're right, they would certainly overlap with my particular interests. I'll be looking out for them now. Deb 17:59 Mar 1, 2003 (UTC)
I think I just deleted the images. After forcing a reload of your cache via [CTRL][F5] do you still see them? --mav
There are a lot of rude people here. Susan Mason
