Ello there, Pretty and plusgood user page you've got here, by-the-way. (= Mmm, here's a rose from one of the articles I've made myself.. DrWho42 03:11, 26 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! I'm gonna expand my user page, though. :o) Antique Rose 04:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi Rose: Thanks for the welcome message; are you a bot, or a real live flower? Best regards, Gene Keyes Esperanto41 03:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Gene! No, I'm not a bot. I am a real life flower, a really delicate one. Antique Rose 13:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

umm, what test was this?--131.111.202.17 11:36, 22 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'd rather go with the other picture ... "hosiery" is about more than women's stockings. It's a sexy picture but it's unique to a particular garment, while the other one suggested all the garments in the category (which include socks). Daniel Case 20:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Very well! :) But isn't there a better image which shows stockings/hosiery when worn? Antique Rose 21:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I didn't think it was necessary to show hosiery being worn for people to recognize it. I suppose I could have taken some of my wife's pantyhose and added some unworn socks of my own, but I didn't think I could equal the aesthetic qualities of the Flickr image.

For now I've decided to keep the pic you put in, though (but I stil think it's a little too in-your-face sexy for a navbox. What I liked about the image I used in {{lingerie}} was that it suggests everything about lingerie without immediately being identifiable as a specific article of lingerie ... ditto with the pantyhose-off picture). But I think that if we ever have a separate hosiery brands navbox (always a possibility), we should use that one there. Daniel Case 00:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Looking over your contribution history and per our recent discussions:

Thanks for the invitation! I've signed up. Antique Rose 01:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your welcome. Wikipedia does seeom to have a vibrant (i.e. fights like cats and dogs) community. I'm looking forward to taking part in it. I'm off to find some things to gnomify now... --Archaro 22:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Nice! Good luck gnoming! Antique Rose 22:42, 25 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh, as an interesting example of synchronicity, I love roses and Latin (rosa rosa rosa est est). The garden of the house of my youth (I think there's a book in there somewhere) was filled with roses of many varieties, antique and modern. Sadly, I no longer live in a house with a rose garden. One day, though... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Archaro (talk • contribs)

Maybe, some day, we will find ourselves in a garden full of roses that will never wither... Antique Rose 23:16, 25 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your welcome. Wikipedia is HUGE! Anyways, I need to ask you a question, if it's okay. Is it possible to change your username?--Hanpingz 23:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Hanpingz! Do you mean usernames in general or my username? Antique Rose 23:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

I mean in general. You sure get back to people quickly. In addition, how do you put images in your main user page? --Hanpingz 23:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

OK, thanks! One of Wikipedia's bureaucrats may help you with that. As for images, you must use the image markup described here. Good luck! Antique Rose 23:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

OK! Thank you for all your help!--PingZ. 23:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for catching the vandalism on Arlo Guthrie. :) Lewis Collard! (natter) 18:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome! I'm always happy to combat scribble and vandalism. Antique Rose 07:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speaking of vandalism, I noticed you reverted some on Spartan-James's userpage. Please also consider warning vandals with {{uw-vand1}} {{uw-vand2}} {{uw-vand3}} {{uw-vand4}} and {{uw-vand4im}}. You can also report them to admins at the AIV. Hope it helps! Cheers, JetLover ^(talk) 23:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot! These templates may come in handy. Antique Rose 17:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Just a heads up that Andrew Saul (ex-CEO of Cache and Brooks Bros.) has been nominated for featured article status here. Any input, comment and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, there is not that much info on him as it relates to the fashion industry, and being an !expert, I'm not quite sure how well I can flesh it out. Please feel free to comment and/or improve the article. Thanks! Mrprada911 21:16, 25 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

OK. Thanks! Antique Rose 21:27, 25 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Given Che Guevara's actions at La Cabana prison I feel that mentioning him in the same light as Heinrich Himmler is not "nonsense." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.118.69 (talk) 07:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

IMO such comparisons are POV. You can't create a reliable and trustworthy encyclopedia based on "feelings". Heinrich Himmler was responsible for millions of lives. I fail to see how one can compare this with the acts of Che Guevara. Antique Rose (talk) 08:48, 18 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Che Guevara was quoted as saying in the London Daily Worker as "Had the missiles (referring to the missiles in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis) remained we would have used them against the very heart of America including New York." This quote is in the very wikipedia article on Che. Using nuclear missiles against America would've undoubtedly taken millions of lives. So in that area there is a legitimate comparison of Che Guevara and Adolf Hitler. That said, I plan on returning to the Himmler article and mentioning Che Guevara. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.118.69 (talk) 06:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I noticed I'm not the only one disagreeing with you. Your anti-Che Guevara agenda is quite obvious. Antique Rose (talk) 08:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have contacted the administration against your vandalism acts and about jayjg, who must be the same person. Why don´t you contact the admistrator and do the same? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.6.238.83 (talk) 18:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please do not continue with your nazi revisionist edits, thank you! Antique Rose (talk) 19:19, 3 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

You are deleting my contribution, which is an authentic contribution, since it cites documents and its sources. If you desagree with something, you discuss it, add more documents proving the contrary. Why don´t you contact the administrator to see what he thinks about it?
