Thanks

Thank you for welcoming me. I hope I can help here with some things. HD1986 (talk) 20:05, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• You've already helped a lot, those mandate articles need a lot of work. Funkynusayri (talk) 20:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Your Revert at Nordic race

The article Nordic race has been tagged for a merger into Nordic theory for 22 days. You did not object the merger in the discussion, and consensus was merge. You can also take a look at the article Nordic theory and see that its old version included already lot of information on "Nordic race" and that it is being expanded to include even more. Your argument that "White people doesn't redirect to white supremacy either" is not helpful, see wp:ATA. The cases are different here. The debates about a Nordic Race were to a large extend part of ideologies of racial supremacy. Zara1709 (talk) 21:58, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• It was tagged for being merged, not being merged into. There's a big difference. The concept of a Nordic race isn't inherently connected to the concept of Nordic supremacy.Funkynusayri (talk) 22:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I misunderstood you edit summary, too. I actually intended to propose that Nordic theory be moved to Nordic race after I was done with the merger. Nordic race is the more encompassing term, but the article Nordic theory was longer and higher quality. Zara1709 (talk) 22:22, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Awright, I didn't check out the Nordic theory article previously, as I didn't have it on my watchlist. Funkynusayri (talk) 22:23, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Emu

Hi Funky. I notice you made an image at Emu default to the right [1], how about making the remaining left aligned image the same. cygnis insignis 11:14, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

• Well, that's problematic, due to the taxobox being on the right, if the remaining image is right aligned, there would be a huge white space, which you can see if you preview the page after changing the parameter. Funkynusayri (talk) 11:22, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I noticed. The other option is (usually) to go left-right-left. Whatever you think. Regards, cygnis insignis 11:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

New image

Hi Funky! I thought I would make use of you kind offer about help with images.. If you go to the Library of Congress search page, then type in Nablus soap ..you will get three "hits". I believe the first of those three can be used without any problems, as it is made before 1920. (It is this picture here: [2]) Could you upload it to the commons, and cut it in half..and make the borders a bit nicer? Tiamut has just made an article about Nabulsi soap, and I thought that an old picture would be fine there, Regards, Huldra (talk) 12:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and while we are at it; if you at the same search page search for village oven, then the three first that come up are old Palestine pictures which, I believe, we can use. Could you possible upload no. 2 and 3? ...I would like to put one of them into the Palestinian cuisine article, as that article could do with some expansion of its history-section. Regards, Huldra (talk) 12:29, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

• Yup, I'll look at it now, if you have more just notify me! Funkynusayri (talk) 14:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Nablus soap.

Village oven.

Vilage oven 2.

• Here's the stuff, want them cropped differently? Funkynusayri (talk) 14:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks, Funky! I have copied them into Nabulsi soap and Palestinian cuisine. I don´t think it is necessary to crop them more, do you? But if the "oven" picture could be made a bit lighter; it would be nice. (I think the woman has such an interesting expression on her face: very alert.) Anyway, thanks again, Huldra (talk) 18:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
    • I've lightened it a bit, it'll lose too many shadow details if I lighten it further... As for the cropping, I think it's ok. Seems like the articles are coming out good! Funkynusayri (talk) 18:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
      • I think that is fine. Palestinian cuisine is of course already a GA, and I am very impressed with what Tiamut has managed only in 2-3 days on Nabulsi soap. Thanks, and see you around! -- Huldra (talk) 19:05, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Funkynusayri, I have a favor to ask you about these antique pictures. Huldra gave me a link to this picture of Palestinians eating, here, but it needs some cropping. I was wondering if you could use your expertise to clean it up. Its one of the needed pictures for the Palestinian cuisine article. Cheers friend! --Al Ameer son (talk) 23:26, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

• Aye, I'll take a look at it, but the link doesn't work, could you tell me what words you searched for on the site? Funkynusayri (talk) 04:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I´m not sure Al-Almeerson is "watching" this page, anyway, if you go to the Library of Congress search page, then type in Int[erior] of Arab Christian home ..you got it, Regards, Huldra (talk) 21:47, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• I see it now, but hmmm, it says "CREATED/PUBLISHED: [between 1898 and 1946]", so we don't know whether it is actually in the public domain or not... If it was published the first time in the USA after 1923, it isn't PD. But if it for example was published in Israel for the first time, it will be PD. But I don't think we'll ever know... Funkynusayri (talk) 22:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Ah: you are right; don´t know how I missed that :-< Oh well, I will keep looking. Thanks anyway, Huldra (talk) 22:28, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Sorry for not responding to the page, Huldra hit it right, I wasn't watching it. I see it won't work but thats fine. --Al Ameer son (talk) 00:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
      • No problem, anyway, you're welcome to link to other images here if you find some. Funkynusayri (talk) 01:10, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Stifle (talk) 11:40, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
