Your recent warning to me[edit]

Dear Duk,

Unlike the edits by 24.1.107.225, 67.91.118.71 and 75.11.244.150, I did not, as you put it, "speak for other people on their user pages" (I signed the notice with my own username), nor did I engage in mud slinging or embarrassment. I only reported, with a citation to a reliable source, that he was arrested for a serious crime (which might affect his ability to edit wikipedia, even though he's on bail) - I didn't even give an point of view on whether he was guilty or not.

I would appreciate it if you withdrew such accusations against me. Andjam 04:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC) (edited 04:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks. Andjam 03:54, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pchas[edit]

Incovenient facts just disappear down the memory hole, not inconvenient facts, just irrelevant facts and thinly veiled harassment. Last warning, leave it alone. And don't bug me anymore--Duk 04:23, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pchas, I see you're fiercely dedicated to making as big a muddy sling fest as possible over this topic. Really, why don't you just go have a beer instead :) --Duk 06:06, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle.jpg[edit]

see [1] --Duk 09:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that the URL is broken. I'm sure there are free pictures of this around. So perhaps you can replace the tag and get a working source. Or delete this and put one up with a working link. Cheers, John Smith's 18:20, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, no problem. I've taken off the source vio. But what's the copyright tag? If you could supply the correct info that would help. John Smith's 10:32, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have temporarily put a fair use tag in. If you could please update the page with more information that should help it along. Thanks, John Smith's 23:20, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright concerns[edit]

Hi - I am still new to all this :) so I am not sure who to comment to but the page on espalier seems to have been taken in large part verbatim from http://www.mygarden.net.au/flex/espalier/122/1 - please advise. thanks!Mjkelley79 15:46, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

other way around, they copied from us. I recognize some of my writing there. Their claim of copyright is bogus and they are failing to credit the Wikipedia source as required by the GFDL.--Duk 02:56, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like they've added the attribution, or I missed it the first time around--Duk 21:46, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maude Adams[edit]

de Acosta suggested they were lovers, and Frohman supposedly gave Maude an ulitmatum about her public relationships. I have not found any printed contemporary sources. are you aware of any? thanks. (User:Mmb3367)

No, I'm not aware of any. --Duk 22:12, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gear pump design[edit]

Hi, I don't know if you made this gear pump model yourself, but in case you did, do you have any good reference(s) for the design of gear pumps? I would greatly appreciate your help because I have been looking around but I can't find any information on the subject. Thank you, Juan Carlos Santisteban San Jose, Costa Rica, juan.c.santisteban@gmail.com

Yes, see the article's external links. Or books like these for more information. --Duk 18:20, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Courteousy note[edit]

Out of courteousy I wanted to tell you that I mentioned your name here: User_talk:Thatcher131#Your_new_name.

Remember how you told me over a year ago to start doing this? I have since you mentioned it.

Thanks for the link in your email, I absolutly loved it BTW. Travb (talk) 17:18, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dipped my toe in the water, seeing if it will be bit off[edit]

I dipped my toe in the water today, seeing if it will be bit off. [2] If this is a problem, or you see it as a problem, please let me know ASAP, and I will stop immediatly. just say the word...I just wanted to share my opinion on this page, with no spillover ot other pages.Travb (talk) 20:26, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought...[edit]

On second thought, I am going to stay out of the pool...sorry to bother you ;-). Travb (talk) 03:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You always surprise me[edit]

A **public domain** photo of humble pie. Did I mention this picture is **public domain**? In case you don't recall, this means that this photo can stay on this user's talk page forever. And by forever, I *mean* forever. This picture of humble pie is not a bad picture like fair use pictures are. Fair use pictures are evil. They molest little children and chain smoke. If you ever see a fair use image, runaway, as fast as you can, because fair use pictures are E-V-I-L ;-) Did I mention this picture is **public domain**?

You didn't tell me that you replaced the photo with another photo, I wouldn't have been perturbed then. Thanks a lot. Now I am embarrased again. I don't know how much more humble pie I can eat. RWV 09:09, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you liked the replacement :) --Duk 15:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I liked the replacement, but I liked the old one better. Because their was an inside joke behind me posting it. A liberal wikipedian was blowing me off after I e-mailed her. I would show you the whole joke, but then you would feel it was your sworn duty to erase those same Red Dawn pics too. Please, for the love of God, no lectures. :) RWV 17:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
