[edit] George IV FPC

Hi there. I thought you would be interested to hear that I added another version to the George IV featured picture candidate, this time without the halftoning. See what you think, cheers. Chris.B 20:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:AfD request

Hi! Thanks for your message. Perhaps I am sometimes unaware of my own naïveté, but my posts of the link were not intended to be disruptive at all. I simply aimed to highlight that the arguments weren't very good ones and were all based on the same, in my belief, fallacious principle. I just dislike the "useful" argument and it seemed to crop up a lot. If you would like to propose a discussion or make an argument in return to a vote/reason, you are perfectly entitled to do so (although I'm not advocating discussion erring on a point type thing, though I'm sure you are more capable of expressing yourself in an eloquent way...unlike myself *d'oh*).

I sincerely apologise for those posts because I have misconveyed my intention. I shall also make an apology on the talk page so that everyone else will be aware that they were good faith edits.

Also, thank-you for alerting me to how my userpage looks. I use firefox, which must render my page differently to how other browsers view it. Foolishly (or perhaps due to my dislike) I had not checked how it would look in IE. :-)

EDIT: Incidentally, what browser are you using (if you don't mind me asking)? I have now viewed the page using firefox and IE but cannot see the problem. I noticed, however, that part of the formatting was not exactly as I wanted it and thus appreciate your note anyway :-).

Thanks for your reply :-). I'll make a note somewhere on the page letting people know about the difference that resolution makes ^-^

[edit] Houdini stamp image not in public domain

Image:Houdini USPS Stamp.jpg
2002 Houdini Stamp

Just a heads up (I'm not losing sleep over this): I don't think that your image of the 2002 stamp of Harry Houdini (as displayed in the Houdini entry) is in the public domain. According to Wikipedia itself:

Title 17 of the United States Code (source : en:United States Postal Service) :

If you click on the USPS link above, they pretty much state that even for non-profit use you need to ask for permission. If you want to go ahead and delete properly see Wikipedia's deletion process for images like this. --Quartermaster (talk) 13:23, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
