The Concert Singer

Hi JNW..If you've got the time, and the inclination, this might strike your fancy...as something to work up..Modernist (talk) 05:40, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, Modernist. Maybe at some point. For what it's worth, the underwear and Ella Crowell passage reads as jarring; there needs to be a lot more content added to place the speculation on scandal, which in this case is tangential to the painting, in proper context. Even with the time and inclination, though, I'm loath to become involved again. JNW (talk) 16:32, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Miss Amelia Van Buren

Great work! Raul654 (talk) 17:57, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. Sometimes that's my favorite thing to do: start or expand an article in secret, then let others refine it. It is a painting I've always been fond of. I have my eye on some others, for the future...cheers, JNW (talk) 18:05, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Seconded, The article is terrific! Not much to add except maybe a little more about her..and her photography...Modernist (talk) 22:27, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you--good to hear from you. I agree, and can add more about her, if you don't get there first. Cheers, JNW (talk) 22:58, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Eventually we're going to fill in everything at Template:Eakins ;) Raul654 (talk) 00:07, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Here's a new one to add sometime: Professor Henry A. Rowland. JNW (talk) 00:09, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Kennedy amd letter to Gorbachev

I think that Kennedy's contribution was significant and, of course, could well go in the article on KAL 007. But do you think that you could find a place in this article on Ted Kennedy that is more appropriate that where I had placed it?Bert Schlossberg (talk) 20:28, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

My sense is that, significant as Kennedy's contribution was in writing the letter to Gorbachev, it is an issue that is peripheral to Kennedy's biography. My suggestion is to discuss it on the Ted Kennedy talk page, and see what other contributors to the article have to say. Best of luck, JNW (talk) 20:33, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

O.K. Will doBert Schlossberg (talk) 20:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Of course, I remember the incident well. Wikipedia editing aside: my thoughts are with you and your family. JNW (talk) 20:58, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Infinite chicken

Hi there; yes, you are quite right. I had caught up with myself and deleted before you poked me! --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 20:49, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, it's got me thinking of an Infinite Crustacean Theory, or some such thing. JNW (talk) 20:55, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Singer with a glove

Great work on Miss Amelia Van Buren and on The Concert Singer. On the latter I made an edit that may need correction; see what you think. Ewulp (talk) 07:07, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Responded there--thanks for cleaning up. JNW (talk) 11:39, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Salutat

Heads up - I've just started a new article in the series. Raul654 (talk) 23:47, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Well done!...to be quickly followed by oh great, now I'll have to schlep out the books again... My recollection is that he was nicknamed 'Turkey' Billy Smith. As for the painting, one of the best male nudes in American art. JNW (talk) 00:41, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

bernanke

Thanks - I guess it's under control for the moment. I didn't realize that your edit took when I was attempting the same one! We'll see what happens when he comes back - I'd say there's some COI at work here, but could be just a matter of not knowing policy. Tvoz/talk 02:49, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Generally when the edits form that kind of promotional pattern it suggests conflict of interest. Well done. Thanks and cheers, JNW (talk) 03:19, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Raft TFA

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 10, 2009. Finger on the revert button. Ceoil (talk) 22:28, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

That's great. Congratulations, Ceoil. The good news is that the vandalism will last for only 24 hours. Then we can brush ourselves off and share another transcontinental toast. Make mine a Guinness. Or a vodka martini. Or, in this economy, tap water with a twist. I'm not fussy. JNW (talk) 23:02, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome

As I usually say after reverting someone's talk page..I'm always uneasy doing it. Some edits, though, I just can't let go. I'm glad your are ok with it. See ya' :) Tiderolls 19:08, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Aspergers is a Hoax

I stated this in the edit summary, I've reverted the edit and added the citation and reference. FYI: [1]. 129.97.134.80 (talk) 22:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

The claim of hoax does not appear to be widely supported or accepted. Consistently controversial and unilateral edits are interpreted as vandalism. JNW (talk) 23:06, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
