Shipping container architecture article
Hello, I have added the container wall photo here, [1]. I'm unsure how to properly insert images into articles, so feel free if you wish to do so. Surfing bird (talk) 00:16, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

I answered your post on my talk, see also my note on the user's page, which was before I saw your cmt. TravellingCari 12:13, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
I have no problem with the new username; they are better off just opening a new account or having one created under that name rather than formally changing it. However, the new one needs to be monitored for spamming, and blocked appropriately if so. Daniel Case (talk) 13:55, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
We'll see how they respond to the current decline. I'm assuming bad faith and all, but I'm not seeing their comprehension of "stop spamming!" TravellingCari 22:48, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
hi
Sorry about the delay; I was busy IRL and had to put it on the backburner. And then I forgot all about it! I can't even promise to do it today, but rest assured it is back on my radar. (Damn me and my mixed metaphors!) Hesperian 00:34, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- No worries mate. You forgot about it; I like that :-) "no big deal" etc. Hesperian 01:12, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

On 16 September 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ewens Ponds (South Australia), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Perhaps i'm not AGF, but I don't believe the original comment was genuine, considering the last bit of their contribution. Clearly it was there to be negative. Timeshift (talk) 04:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Frank Cable's page should be overhauled as it does not accurrately reflect on the events that occurred during the foundation of The Electric Boat Company.
Dear Mr. Euryalus:
I have made a minor correction to (Frank T Cable's) page Frank Cable and I want you to be aware of that. I think the "original version" of this story was less biased than the current version that is (currently) posted on Wikipedia. Information about this man and the company he once managed... Electric Boat Company is very much distorted and biased in favor of those such as Isaac Rice, Elihu B. Frost, Frank T. Cable and Lawrence Y. Spear. This elusive story got that way because of the biased versions coming from Frank T. Cable and Lawrence York Spear etc. and are not accurrate. No offense, but the truth in regards to this matter will not always be politically correct or what "they" want us to know concerning this subject. Cable was not a shipbuilder or naval architect but took credit (away) from people such as Arthur L. Busch for instence. Cable (and Spear) thought that submarine ships would have better performance and handle better with propellers located forward of the rudders. This was later proven wrong (again) as Holland had it right before them. With integrity, I will tell you the truth. Good day to you Sir! --Middim13 (talk) 00:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Middim13 (talk • contribs) 00:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

telectronics and Noel Gray's background
Who do you know that knows better than Chris Gray about Noel Gray's background? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.229.45.13 (talk) 10:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Replying here as you have a dynamic IP so there's no point in leaving messages on your talk page. The problem with your additions to the Noel Gray page are:
- They are unsourced or use only self-published sources. These are not generally sufficient to reference anything other than uncontroversial matters.
- They represent a particular point of view, in that they are generally designed to portray your father's life in a favourable light while casting aspersions on his business partners. Articles should maintain a neutral tone and present the verifiable facts, good or bad, about their subjects.
- They represent original research, which you demonstrate again in your message above. Of course you know a great deal about your father's life, but Wikipedia is not a repository of its editors personal knowledge, but of verifiable, cited facts.
- Lastly, you have a conflict of interest. editors are strongly discouraged from writing articles about themselves, their families or companies they work for, because there is always at least a perception (and often a reality) that they will have trouble presenting a neutral view. Editors who write articles about subjects very close to them may also sometimes develop a sense of ownership of particular articles.
Secondary sources on Noel Gray are hard to come by, and I appreciate you feel the article does not do your father justice in his role in Telectronics or in designing pacemakers. The answer is to find more sources, not include unsourced statements in the article. Given the points above it might also be worth your while to look at editing other articles instead of this one - Wikipedia is a big place and there's plenty else to do. Euryalus (talk) 22:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
You have an inflated view of your formalities that prevents the truth being told so there is no point in further discussion. I hope this subversive diatribe is one day removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.186.157.179 (talk) 12:17, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
AfD
Hi Euryalus
Just to correct something you said here and here. Anon editors can nominate an article for deletion, they just need to leave the nomination details on the article's talk page and, if reasonable, an AfD will be created as part of DumbBOT's operations (albeit manually). The AfD tag says:
Unregistered users placing this tag on an article cannot complete the deletion nomination and should leave detailed reasons for deletion on Talk:James E. McPherson. If the nomination is not completed and no message is left on the talkpage, this tag may be removed.
Thanks! ➨ ❝ЯEDVERS❞ will never be anybody's hero now 17:26, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Please note that I know the American $2 exists, the reference that I was removed by the anon was to a story where a cashier claimed that it did not exist. I was using that as a reference for the factual statement that is contained within the image. βcommand 21:08, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
