So you've been doing some work on some of the articles that I've created. Well do you know what I think of your work, huh? I think you've done a great job! Plus the images that you've added on Alejandro Tapia y Rivera and Antonio Valeo de Bernabe are great. Let me remind you of one thing, in Latin-American countries it is common to use both surnames such as the case of Alejandrina Benitez de Gautier and Tapia y Rivera. Therefore, I redid Alejandrina and wrote it as Benitez de Gautier while in Tapia y Rivera's case he is most commonly known simply as Tapia. Normaly a person of Latin American descent born in the United States however, will only use his fathers surname. It's been a pleasure writing to you.

Hey, thanks for the No 1 Award. I'm finally number 1 in something (smile). You know it is kind of ironic, yesterday I thought to myself "I think Brookie and I are going to become good wikipedian friends" and here you surprise me with the award. I'm also glad that you've read my articles about Puerto Rico. It's incrediable how so many talented people were born there. Tell me something about yourself.

Thank you my friend for your congrats. It's good to have an article on the main page. The only drawback is that many people who have no knowledge what-so-ever about the subject start to make uncalled for edits or comments on the talk page.

== Sorry to drop on you again... ==

Hello again, as we seem to be online virtually at the same time..... just to let you know, some days ago I was whacked with the following by [[User:GraemeL|GraemeL]] (you never cease to learn), and I promised to spread it:

<div style="background-color:#F9F9F9; border:1px solid #AAA; padding:5px; width: 90%;">[[Image:Info-pictogram.png|left]]

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to [[m:Help:Template#subst|substitute with text]] by adding '''subst:''' to the template tag. For example, use &#123;&#123;subst:[[template:test|test]]&#125;&#125; instead of &#123;{[[Template:test|test]]}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.</div>

Cheers. And don't take me for a betterknowing busybody :))[[User:Lectonar|Lectonar]] 12:33, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

== your question ==

Sorry, just came in at 8.30 (Berlin-time), and it took a little research, but the nearest thing I found is [[Wikipedia:Protected page|here]]; as far as I understand it, you have to protect the article while it's still there, tag it accordingly and then delete it and it's history....and I see you've borrowed my admin-template... :)) Happy editing. [[User:Lectonar|Lectonar]] 06:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

* glad to be of service...and the colour fits well with my babel template ;) [[User:Lectonar|Lectonar]] 07:21, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

** If it's worth anything to you (and if you're not fishing for compliments ;)), I think you could do well with a {{tl|en-N}}, as I find you're grasp of English rather, say, native...as for me, when I do translation work from German to English or French to English for wiki, at first sight everything reads really well (for me; if you're in the mood, have a look at the article about [[Helmut Berger]] and its history)...then someone comes along rephrasing it, and, presto, that's the real bean (and yes, that's me fishing for compliments :))) ) [[User:Lectonar|Lectonar]] 08:22, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

*** Thanks for the compliments and the tweakin' (you see what I meant); there is a picture of him on the talk-page on the article (alright, not so much of him...), loaded up by [[User:MutterErde|MutterErde]], who has recently been banned indefinitely here and on the German-wiki. [[User:Lectonar|Lectonar]] 09:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

== Protecting pages ==

Hi! Welcome to the broom closet. :) Protecting pages is easy. You now have some extra tabs at the top of your page, one of which reads "protect." All you do on the article is blank it and replace the text with <nowiki>{{deletedpage}}</nowiki>. That'll place the template, but you still need to protect the page. Click on the "protect" tab and the admins-only protect page pops up. Give the reason for protecting and click the "protect this page" button. You'll have to hit the "back" button on your browser to return to that protect page. From there, click on the link of "list of protected pages" and add the page in question to the bottom of the "pages protected against recreation" section, or whatever section is most appropriate. Boom! No more "27 deleted edits" or equal nonsense clogging the works.

Call on me anytime. I'm flattered that you chose to ask me for advice, by the way. - [[User:Lucky 6.9|Lucky 6.9]] 21:53, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Brookie, I would like you to express your opinion, which I respect so much in the talk page of [[Miguel Piñero]]. A user insists in deleting information which I believe is essencial to the article and seems to have a disrepectful atitute. [[User:Marine 69-71|Tony the Marine]] 22:30, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

==Thank You==

Thank you Brookie for expressing yourself on the Miguel Piñero issue. The dispute ended in friendly terms between Dali and myself. Take care [[User:Marine 69-71|Tony the Marine]] 07:14, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

== Hello... ==

Hi Brookie. Just a courtesy message as I've edited out some information from articles which I know are close to your heart, and wanted you to know that these edits are not intended to cause offence or to be taken as trolling or baiting! If you disagree with my edits, please let me know why! Regards, [[User:CLW|CLW]] 10:36, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi Brookie,

I am now an administrator (looking like a good egg) and would like to thank you for your support on my [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/GraemeL|RfA]]. I was very surprised at the number of votes and amount of and kind comments that I gathered. Please don't hesitate to contact me if I mess up in the use of my new powers. --[[User:GraemeL|GraemeL]] [[User_talk:GraemeL|^(talk)]] 15:26, 21 November 2005 (UTC)</div>

== Boo! ==

Yay - you know you love the CLW watch!

== Tsk! ==

Oh, Brookie - that last edit really was a shocker! Have you been on the sauce again? ;) [[User:CLW|CLW]] 16:23, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

== Squints ==

Hi Brookie. No I'm not stalking you. But Grendon is still in my watchlist which is how I came upon the new squint article! However, maybe I will start stalking your edits because you do create some interesting stuff. And with nice little typos for me to pick away at.

I've removed the Grendon reference. I know you like to work these into articles, and if squints only existed at a handful of churches, then fair enough, a Grendon reference would be appropriate here (as part of a list of examples). But this isn't the case - squints are pretty common in churches of this age. However, I might tolerate a subtle Grendon reference if you take a useful photo of the Grendon squint and then refer to it in the caption! (Don't you hate magnanimous types?!)

One point about squints - I always thought that the main reason for creating them was as leper windows, so I think this should feature prominently in the article. Is this something that you know anything about? I could be wrong (it happens!) and it could just be an urban myth, but I don't think so. [[User:CLW|CLW]] 14:02, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

== And another thing... ==

As the amount of info about St Mary's within the Grendon article grows, I'm wondering whether perhaps the church merits splitting out into its own article? Schools tend to survive AfDs these days, but what about churches?

== [[St Helen]] ==

The St Helen wikilink you added to the hagioscope page originally redirected to [[St. Helen, Michigan]] which I figured wasn't your intention. I've now redirect [[St Helen]] to [[St. Helen]], which I changed to a dab page instead of a redirect to [[Helena of Constantinople]]. Do you know if the church you referred to is dedicated to Helena of Constantinople? Or are there other St Helens that you know of? I reckon it's probably safe to move the link to Helena of Constantinople, but thought I'd check with you first in case you know anything I don't... [[User:CLW|CLW]] 16:28, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Glad you like it. Would you like to be apart of my classic rock survey? There is more unfo on my user page. {{User:Rentastrawberry/Signature}} 23:39, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

==Tony the Marine==

Hi my friend, thanks for the message. It's nice to know that your friends think about you once in awile. I've been writing articles as always, yesterday I finished [[Juano Hernandez]]. We haven't spoken for sometime. You know I believe that Wiki has to change its policy and to better enable us to fight Vandalism. If a person wants to edit, he should be asked to register, like in so many other sites. It's difficult when "anybody" (especially those unregistered users) can mess up your work. That's one of the reasons that many people question the credibility of our project. If Wiki required that you register, then we can go after and punish the perpetrator and not a bunch of innocent users. Food for thought Your friend [[User:Marine 69-71|Tony the Marine]] 06:10, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

== Back... and need some urgent help! ==

Hi Brookie! Sorry you missed me (like a hole in the head?!). I'm back and screwing up already. As an admin, please could you move [[Thereis a sucker born every minute]] to back to [[There is a sucker born every minute]] (stupid slip which resulted in me hitting the enter button...)? I was trying to move it to [[There's a sucker born every minute]] (which I can't do, but will go via the normal "requested moves" procedure) when I got my fingers in a tangle. Sorry and thanks! [[User:CLW|CLW]] 10:47, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

:Oh - in the meantime, another admin has already spotted this and fixed it. Cheers anyway! [[User:CLW|CLW]] 11:06, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

::Ooh - straight on the watchlist! [[User:CLW|CLW]] 15:11, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, I must say that I'd be honoured! The use of admin functions such as rolling back vandalism would be extremely useful. However, I've only been here since the end of July, and some of my decisions have attracted mild criticism ([[User talk:CLW#Rick Kosick]], [[User talk:CLW#Afd]], [[User talk:CLW#Edits at once]]). D'you reckon those factors would go against me? If not, I'd gladly accept nomination! [[User:CLW|CLW]] 16:49, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

::I've had a good look through the current RfAs, and I reckon that even if I were to be shot down in flames, it'd produce constructive criticism which is always a good thing and which would provide useful pointers for if I should then be re-nominated in future. So yes, please, nomination would be appreciated! Cheers, [[User:CLW|CLW]] 17:46, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

You might want to clean up the RfA you just posted for [[User:CLW]] in a couple of ways. 1) you have it listed as ending today, not a week from now. 2) It goes at the top of the page, not the bottom.

* Dear Brookie, I was so sorry to hear of your passing today. And not without tears, despite our never having met. From the time, years ago, that I started contributing, you were so kind and understanding. You set up my user page, helped with templates, helped me get over some vindictive edits, and were always there with operational and ethical advice. Even after a gap of a few years, I was able to call upon you and you picked up right where you left off. Brookie, your expertise, support, kindliness and goodwill will be your legacy.
