I don't think I ever told you I e-mailed User:Pcpcpc after he left (well, officially left), offering to watchlist his pages and help him keep them the way he obviously wanted them, i. e. clean? I felt sorry for him, would you believe, for falling foul of Irate. (So I '''have''' spoken to him, voluntarily even, since January. Oh, oh, what would my '''mother''' say?) He didn't trouble to reply, and I see I'm again honoured with a hiss from him, as are you. Never mind, this is a person who makes no distinction between SlimVirgin (!) and Irate (!).

==R.A.Lawson==
Hi Giano - I've had a bit of a play around with the draft lawson article. It still needs a lot of work, of course, but I think I've made a few improvements. A couple of ponts: 1) First Church is always simply called First Church. I ''think'' that presbyterians don't have cathedrals, but call their principal churches "first churches". 2) There is a ''lot'' on Lawson in the "Buildings of Dunedin" book, some of which should fit quite nicely into the article. 3) If the weather is fine tomorrow I hope to take a few photos! 4) As for a private house, I'd suggest the one Lawson built for Watson Shennan at 367 High Street, Dunedin.
When the article goes up properly, by the way, I'd suggest calling it [[Robert Lawson (architect)]] - one of his relations (also Robert Arthur Lawson, but usually known as Robbie Lawson) plays cricket for Otago and could possibly get an article at some stage. It would probably also be worth having a redirect from [[R. A. Lawson]], since that's how the architect is normally known here in NZ.
I also see you've been talking with [[User:Geocachernemesis|Donovan]] - believe it or not, I know him fairly well: we did postgraduate work together here at Otago University, and shared an office for three years! [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...<font color=green><small>''[[User_talk:Grutness|wha?''</small></font>]] 05:04, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:''There seems to be some confusion on the internet as to whether he actually designed Larnach Castle, one site says it was designed "overseas"''
According to my books on the subject there is some doubt, but the ''Buildings of Dunedin'' book is most likely to accurate (I'd trust Hardwicke Knight's word on most things to do with Dunedin history), and that says "There is some doubt about R A Lawson's part in the design of... Larnach Castle. There is a tradition that larnach designed it after Castle Forbes, his father's place in Australia. The plans, however, are unquestionably from Lawson's office and the contractors... worked under his supervision." ''Discovering Dunedin'' tells a slightly different version, saying "Plans for the castle were drawn up overseas, but carried out <nowiki>[by]</nowiki> R.A.Lawson". Oh, and Dunedin does have 120,000 people, so it is a bit of a coincidence that Donovan and I are both working on similar articles on Wikipedia!

==R.A.Lawson Images==
Giano, here are some images of the castle that I found lying around, so I put them on the commons:
<gallery>
Image:Castle Larnach Exterior Day.jpg
Image:Castle Larnach View West.jpg
Image:Castle Larnach View North.jpg
Image:Castle Larnach View East.jpg
</gallery>
If you would like me to edit the exterior further (like tighter cropping or adjusted levels), then just ask. James would have more trouble getting images of the castle, because of the extortionate entrance fee.
Oh, hi James. At least you got out while you were still ahead (or, at least, not as far behind ;). ''(''<sub>Donovan</sub>|[[w:en:User:Geocachernemesis|Geocachernemesis]]|<sup>[[User_talk:Geocachernemesis|Interact]]</sup>'')'' 11:33, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
==thank you everybody==
I would like to express my thanks to everybody helping in the nomination of [[Antarctic krill]]. I think 3 1/2 '''support'''s and a long long discussion are an unexpected and great outcome for a critter so remote and unknown - you should see how little and poor Antarctic krill is represented in Encarta and Britannica - this is the best reviewed and resourced general article of krill we know of - it is impossible to fullfill all wishes at the same time - this is what we did with our all product [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antarctic_krill&oldid=15197713 peer review stamp] to qualify this stage of the article for academic exercises, especially for our dreams of a [[Virtual university]] within [[Wikiversity]] - good luck to you all [[User:Kils|Uwe Kils]] 21:48, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

==RFA==
I am sorry that you find my concern for [[User:Boothy443]] distasteful. I may have misunderstood you just as I feel that you have misunderstood me. I have asked him/her if there is an issue with which I can help. I cannot ask privately because s/he does not accept email. I did consider leaving the question unasked because I was one of the affected nominations but I concluded that this would be inappropriate because I would ask such a question were I an independent observer. I hope that this allays your distaste. Ultimately, however, I feel that your discomfort is much milder than Boothy's. I regret yours but I am worried about his/hers.—[[User:TheoClarke|Theo ]] [[User_talk:TheoClarke|(Talk)]] 23:14, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
PS: For me, the issue here is not that Boothy opposed any one RFA; that could be for a reason specific to the individual editor and it is anybody's perogative to explain an individual opinion to any extent that they wish. The blanket opposition, however, to me indicates a broader distress/rage/hostility that I would be uncaring to ignore.—[[User:TheoClarke|Theo ]] [[User_talk:TheoClarke|(Talk)]] 23:20, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your extensive explanation. I understand your position. I recognise the possibility that my intervention was inappropriate. I had not seen it as bullying and if even one outsider sees it as such then the odds are good that the subject feels that way. I had hoped that my intervention made it clear that I was trying to allay a hurt rather than solicit information. I can see that I failed.—[[User:TheoClarke|Theo ]] [[User_talk:TheoClarke|(Talk)]] 07:36, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: ''Copied from TheoClarke's [[User_talk:TheoClarke|talk page]]:''
:I just wanted to make clear that in no way was I bullying or intimidating Boothy. When I posted my first comment, I was unaware that other people had already asked the same question- I simply did not think that a relatively current issue would be in the archives (stupid me!). However, I have already apologized to Boothy for re-asking this question, and want to make clear that I simply wanted to help Boothy by making him aware of (what we consider) an RfA standard. However, now that I have read his archive page, I completely understand his views. I have always respected everyone's opinions; after all, a plethora of diverse opinions is integral for [[Wikipedia]]! Sorry for any misunderstandings I might have caused, and thank you all for your dedication to [[Wikipedia]]. I hope this matter is now closed.

::P.S.

==response from London==
Uwe wants to share this with you (from his talk page):
===Hello Kils===
Just would like to state that i have very much enjoyed being involved in a project of this nature. To see the speed of co-operation between various people was (Uwe, Lupo and Salleman and all others) fantastic. It was a complete buzz to go off researching about a scientific subject and coming to some understanding and appreciation of a creature that i would have no
knowledge or interest in otherwise. I would like to say that it takes a damn good teacher to get others interested in what they teach and i for one, if only in a rudimentary and general way have found the subject of Krill and sorrounding issues of ecology and environment fascinating. I think that says a lot about your willingness to let others participate in something which you obviously have great knowledge in and could easily have been a lot less humble with.
At some point i will put up some informtion on my home page so at least people know a little more about me.
Am going to try to extend the article on Ice-algae so any info you may have would be good.
I hope the article on Antartic Krill gets featured as i think it is now very good.
Wikiversity sounds like a good idea but will need more time to go through the proposal (not too sure what help i could be).
Once again thanks Uwe! [[User:Yakuzai|Yakuzai]] 22:50, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
