Re Mitchell page
re: Sounds notable enough for his own article indeed. Let's ask an admin to move the page. If you don't know one, I will ask. Let me know. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:16, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Can you go ahead and get an admin to unlock the 'Brian David Mitchell' page? so its easier to find by google searches.
Page is a work in progress with much more needed especially covering the psychiatric reports. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wombat24 (talk • contribs) 13:07, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

How are you Anna? Since you are one of our resident artists I wanted to ask you what you think of the new look of the Portal, including its new color? Invertzoo (talk) 22:43, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi to you Anna
Thanks for your note. I am glad to hear you are OK. I expect everything will calm down a bit for most of us in a few weeks as we get into the New Year. Invertzoo (talk) 19:56, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome back!
Lightning is striking again, Annie Oakley, is that you? ;) Are you one of those people who loves retro words and phrases, and could get lost in a vintage clothing store? I'm not talking about the silly "hipster" aesthetic, but rather a love for anachronistic colloquialisms and pop cultural dustbunnies, black and white talkies, View-Master's and Atari's, and all the detritus WALL-E collects and stores away in little drawers in his trailer for safekeeping. Les moulins de mon cœur. So, I sez, is that you, sister? Hmmm? :) Viriditas (talk) 12:52, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Anthidium manicatum
Just so you know, my edit summary wasn't aimed at you specifically, but was just a boilerplate I use when I'm tagging because it's a fairly common error. At any rate, the thing is that we don't actually add the stub categories as categories via HotCat; we're supposed to transclude them by applying the stub template (i.e. {{bee-stub}} instead of [[Category:Bee stubs]]) instead. But the presence of the template doesn't make the article categorized if it doesn't have at least one regular content category on it too, because the stub template is meant for temporary maintenance and, at least in theory, will eventually be removed from the article. Hope that helps a bit, sorry for any confusion. Bearcat (talk) 08:38, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
- No need to be sorry for my confusion. That happened naturally. I actually swiped the [[Category:Bee stubs]] from the genus or family article. Just so that I'm clear, I should maybe add [[Category:Bees]] and leave the {{bee-stub}, right? Many thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:50, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

- Ok. Done. You've got me worried now. Am I in trouble? If this is about that kegger at Jimbo's, it wasn't me who broke his Pioneer Award. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:30, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

photograph from ginger article
I was wondering if you knew anything more about the two kinds of gingers in your photograph from Hainan China, like the local names. I was also wondering what the other root further back in the picture was. I suspected turmeric? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.41.37.206 (talk) 21:39, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know, but I will ask all those questions next time I'm at the market, and maybe update the image caption with that info. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:53, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
Mbz1
Re this post of yours - you can repost it if you wish, but I'd urge you not to, it wasn't particularly helpful on that user's talk page, particularly in the current situation. Yes, it would be nice if we could all just get along, and sometimes cost/benefits are exceeded and users ejected from the project; but we're not there yet in this case, and such cases should be handled elsewhere, and not by this sort of posting on a user's talk page. Note that this particular indefinite block isn't intended to be permanent; see also User talk:Gwen Gale. Rd232 talk 14:06, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
