Introduction

I saw your name in the facebook. Let me introduce you to User:Taxman. Quite a coincidence! :) User:Nichalp/sg 18:04, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Strappado page update

I've spun off a seperate page dedicated to strappado bondage, linking from the paragraph you added into the strappado/torture page.

Re: Well done

Hi there! Thanks for your message. You are one of the amazingly few persons I've seen being actively polite at Misplaced Pages. It really pleases me to witness such courtesy. I would send you a reply a bit longer than this little note, about the editing; but is there any way to do it other than adding to your Talk page? Also, sorry if adding these lines to your Talk page isn't the right way of dropping you a line in the first place. President Lethe 17:09, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Nice!

Thanks for the pictures... figured I should say "Hi" :-) Ta bu shi da yu 06:50, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

hi

i was reading around when i found a picture of a goodlooking girl in a goodlooking school uniform. when i found out that it was a picture of a person here at wikipedia, i just had to leave a message. send me a mail at johnny4life@hotmail.com if you want to talk :) (exuse my spelling, english is not my first language...)

Catholic school uniform

Hi there. I was thinking about the article and I find it to be both very Catholic-centric and USA-centric (you might have noticed my talk on the discussion page about that). I think it might be prudent (and a bit of a compromise) to alter part of the second paragraph, which reads:

"Nearly all Catholic schools have some form of dress code, and most of them (especially those with students in the lower grade levels) have a mandatory uniform policy.".

To something like:

"Nearly all Catholic and Church of England schools have some form of dress code, and most of them (especially those with students in the lower grade levels) have a mandatory uniform policy."

.. or something similar. Of course, there might be other denominational schools that have uniforms, and that would negate the use of both Catholic and England, in favour of "Nearly all Christian denominated schools..." or something!

Anyway - let me know what you think. And if you have any thoughts on changing the title of the article, please leave a wee note on the bottom of the talk page there too. --Mal 13:56, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry it's taken so long to reply. I thoroughly agree with you, and have added a note to the talk page. I appreciate that in your part of the world, religion is a sensitive issue. - Taxwoman 14:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I was under the impression that I lived in the same part of the world as yourself. I'm not actually being sensitive about the religious thing tbh - the whole point of my edit was that religious schools are just a part of our education system, and that the vast majority of schools here have a school uniform policy... state schools and the various denomonational schools. In that respect, there is nothing particularly special in the UK about the CofE or RC schools. Its different in the US though, where school uniforms aren't in the majority, but are rather more confined to RC schools (and possibly other denominations) and the other schools only have a dress code at most. Your new photo is nice by the way. --Mal 03:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Bondage edits

Hello Taxwoman,

I am glad that you appreciate my contributions to some of the bondage and BDSM-related articles on Misplaced Pages. You seem to be an expert on the subject - I have had some practical knowledge in that field as well. I uploaded two pictures and expanded the discussion on Bondage hood. Also, check out the article I started on Monique Covet which (so far) has been entirely my own work with no additions from other users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaiwills (talk • contribs)

Not a problem...

...glad to help. I know I always hate having to dig through page history to find the author of unsigned comments on my page. -Hit bull, win steak 21:14, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Sexual?

Hello

I was not aware of you: nice meeting you. I came here after learning about you: . Nothing to do with match-fixing or dating or Match fixing. --Bhadani 15:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Pleasure. Let me know if you have any more trouble. Tyrenius 14:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

PVC link

Hi - I notice that you restored a link I took out of Latex and PVC fetishism. My understanding of WP:EL would suggest that (good though it is) it has little business being in Misplaced Pages. Wiki is after all an encyclopedia and the link is to a transient event? "Skin too" does have it's own link above anyway. For now I have taken it out again but will not repeat this without discussion with you. It's not to do with the site - I notice that you appear to have broad views & I would not argue with that - but to me it is a transient link. Look forward to your comments - regards --Nigel 17:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

won't stress me in either direction - if you put it back I will not revert it - all the best Nigel 11:54, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Bondage hood

Thanxs for the link to the funnel gag. I didn't know there was something about it here. Now I need to find a nice free picture of a funnel hood (evil grin). Hektor 15:08, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for all the great information and the warm welcome. Supergyro2k 22:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Response to your comment on my talk page

I find it somewhat annoying that you put words in my mouth, without just asking "why did you think the other image was not as attractive?".

I did NOT say the "model" was more attractive. Please read my actual edit summary. I said the picture was more attractive. You're... not my type, miss, but hardly are you ugly, either; I'm the daughter of an artist with a pretty good eye for pleasing visuals, and rest assured, the model herself (yourself, that is) was NOT my complaint in regards to the picture. But that is completely beside the point, considering the picture quality - the thing I was complaining about and replacing it for- was horrible compared to the one I replaced it with, which is the reason I replaced it, and the original picture quality was poor enough that I did not actually think anyone would bother to complain about removing or replacing it. I'm frankly not quite sure why you're mad; it does not seem like it's the most flattering picture (compared to what it could be, since you look like you could look at least several times better than that with decent lighting, and no bad flash going off in your face), due to the complete lack of lighting control, the overly-obvious camera flash, and "snapshot" nature, and if I recall, slight blurring and even, if I'm not mistaken, redeye (I may or may not be remembering right on the redeye though, I'd look at the picture, but I can't recall the URL for it and at the moment, I'm getting ready to leave for the bank to deal with what appears to be fraudulent charges on my checking account, so I don't really have the time right this minute to dig through the edit history, though I did want to get back to you quickly. I just seem to remember there being redeye, and with such an obvious camera flash, it would not seem weird for their to be redeye in the picture considering you were facing the cameraperson); also, IIRC, the corset itself was not particularly visible, and despite being a genuine, traditional-type corset instead of those weird little pseudo-corsets they sell now, you really can't tell as much in that picture, which IMO, does not make it a good contrast for the "corset tops" that don't retain the corset function. Furthermore, the new picture is slightly smaller and reduces well, and most of the "Modern History" section was about how modern corsets are rarely actually corsets, which is absolutely true. The text in the picture box makes it quite clear, in my edit at least, that the top pictured is simply one of the modern "corset tops" that only imitate the look and not the function of traditional corsets - in one of the two main ways (lacing or boning) that modern imitation corsets do, at that, compared to the Prada top that featured the boning.

To be technical, I had wanted to put that laced "corset top" pic and the Prada picture up in the same section (or all down together in the Modern History section) as a comparison between different styles of tops that are referred to today as "corsets" by various designers and retailers without meeting all the traditional criteria of the term. But I don't know how to do a "three images in one box" thing. If you know how to do that or know where I can find code to copy over to produce that effect, by all means tell me and I'll do that in the "modern history" section... and then maybe we can reinstate a picture of that real corset you were wearing, only with the flash turned off and much better lighting? I would love to have a really good modern picture of a real, traditional, functional corset being worn, but I want it to have good lighting and really show the subject of corsets extremely well, you know? Perhaps a closer-up frontal shot in more controlled lighting? Runa27 20:01, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Corsets and enemas

That para you added was completely unreferenced. It describes such a minority practice that it doesn't belong in a general article like corset. If you can find a reference, it could go in one of the BSDM articles. Zora 23:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

What happened here?

I edit one post, and I get a message! Im outraged. Well not really at all. I think thats a neat function. Im more of an editor/cleaner upper than a contributer, but everything has to have some order to it. Thanks for the automated message.SolotaireDeaton 23:51, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/FT2 2

Hi. I do hope you don't mind, but I wondered if you could elaborate on your oppose !vote there? Thanks. --Guinnog 17:46, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Specifically, you said you felt the answer was "misleading" over "conflict", but you did not explain what you felt was misleading or conflicting beyond the fact that two editors expressed differing perspectives. I'd be worried if I thought that a mere difference of opinion would count as "conflict". Apologies if there is more to this than meets the eye. --Guinnog 18:18, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Explanation

Further to some pointers provided by user:Holdenhurst , it's now clear what actually happened on Tie and tease.

In short, from your comment we were all looking for a problem on the talk page. In fact the problem wasn't on there really -- it was on the article page. A late night editing session led to an accidental omission of explanation and an incorrect edit summary, which would have made the article look like it was being abruptly blanked and deleted. Unaware of this, it wasn't immediately clear why you felt there was "conflict" or hostile attempts to get rid of valid content.

The full explanation is at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/FT2 2, along with my apology. I'm a firm believer that an apology is useless unless one understands what it is that's apologized for, and in enough depth to try and put it right. I now feel it is finally clear why you felt aggrieved, and hence my description to clarify, and my apology, so you know that this is a sincere attempt to put it right.

Needless to say your 'oppose' view is uncontested. That's your choice, and respected. My choice is, regardless of that, to try and see where conflict may have arisen and - if able - put it right. I hope this will be accepted in that spirit, for any concerns over the article which you were caused.
