Your Grace, I just reviewed the history of your edits and every single one of them improved the article! You do great work and I really appreciate having you polish my (extremely) rough entries. I reckon I owe you a whole bag of Wiki-cookies for this. --Doc Tropics 19:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External Link

I just added a link to that specific article in the Christian Science Monitor, but I don't think I did it right. Help? --Doc Tropics 19:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Right-o, I think i've fixed the link, just check that from your end to make sure, I think there's a dodgy cookie somewhere. The article looks about ready now. Do you want to submit it to Template talk:Did you know, or shall I? CaptainVindaloo t c e 20:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

It looks good to me. It would be nice if you would submit it...then I can blame you if it fails :) --Doc Tropics 20:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok. And I've just copied this to your usertalk, thought you'd missed it. CaptainVindaloo t c e 20:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Heh, heh...it looks like we're editing on each others heels; i was just about to cross-post my reply --Doc Tropics 20:41, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Draft DYK entry

Ok, how's this:

...that Higgins Glass refers to fused glass functional artwork produced by Michael and Frances Higgins of Chicago, in the latter half of the 20th Century?

Sounds great! I forgot we needed an intro <slightly red in the face>. Go for it. --Doc Tropics 20:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Added. CaptainVindaloo t c e 21:03, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Excellent, now we can take a breather and wait for some input. I've got to give you a lot of credit; when you polish an article it comes up shiny! --Doc Tropics 21:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AFD Message

Since this one is not listed under AFD and is a notable piece of art. I have removed the AFD Tag. It must have been added during the recent W.O.W. Attack on Wikipedia. Aeon 14:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

The IP responsible also did the same to Old Market, so I gave a blatantvandal warning. It seems like such an honour to get the WoW treatment! CaptainVindaloo t c e 18:50, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Not sure oh well at least it is fixed Aeon 18:52, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Since having a page vandalized means someone actually noticed your work and cared enough to deface it, I'm willing to accept it as a compliment :) --Doc Tropics 18:56, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Maybe we should put a tag up saying "This article was vandalised by Willy on Wheels!", like a Featured Article tag. CaptainVindaloo t c e 18:59, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
