[edit] permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org
Greetings. I replied on my talk page, but that page gets so much traffic that I've already archived my reply. You can read it at User_talk:Quadell/archive31#William_Poundstone_picture_deletion. All the best, – Quadell (talk) (random) 11:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Hey dude, i know, that jackass is out of control, he deletes shit as long as he doesnt see 1 of 10 different tags and approvals on each image information page. Im tired of his shit, all the images i upload, i've made, taken personally, or asked for specific permission from people who have made the images. Whatever, he'll get his.

[edit] Half Nelson (film)
Hi. I thought you might be interested in the answer to your question (below). Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro 06:46, 15 August 2007 (UTC))
From Talk: Half Nelson (film):
Why is the film so titled? Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 09:26, 11 March 2007 (UTC))
- Ha, Spadaro beat me to the same question I had. Whyever is it so titled? --Frenkmelk talk 19:50, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
- A "half nelson" is a wrestling move – a hold in which a wrestler, from behind the opponent, passes one arm under the corresponding arm of the opponent and locks the hand on the back of the opponent's neck. When you are in a half nelson, it is hard to breathe and you feel completely helpless, and the film's title is a metaphor in relation to this. The main character (Dan) can't escape his addiction, in the same way that it is very difficult to escape from a half nelson. However, although it's very difficult to get out of a half nelson, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're about to lose the wrestling match. In this film, it metaphorically means that the main characters Dan and Drey are both in difficult situations – ones that are difficult to escape, but ones that they might possibly escape. (Joseph A.

- nice to get a personal response from a fellow wikipedian! This environment can be so cold, automated, and unforgiving, I am grateful that you took the time to respond directly to one of my orphaned queries! I have run into some real unpleasant peoples on here, and that is not what the Wiki is about. Regards! --Frenkmelk talk 17:29, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. Not a problem at all ... you're welcome. I too have run into some unpleasant folk around these parts ... but, at the same time, I have run into some wonderful, intelligent, helpful folk as well. As far as Half Nelson (film) ... I finally got a chance to watch it last night. Having done so, I was determined to find out the meaning behind the title. So, I figured that you also would be curious as to what I found out about that. I thought it was a great film, by the way. Take care ... (Joseph A. Spadaro 03:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC))
