Picture of the day George N. Barnard George Norman Barnard (December 23, 1819 – February 4, 1902) was an American photographer who was one of the first to use daguerreotype, the first commercially available form of photography, in the United States. A fire in 1853 destroyed the grain elevators in Oswego, New York, an event Barnard photographed. Historians consider these some of the first "news" photographs. Barnard also photographed Abraham Lincoln's 1861 inauguration. Barnard is best known for American Civil War era photos. He was the official army photographer for the Military Division of the Mississippi commanded by Union general William T. Sherman; his 1866 book, Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign, showed the devastation of the war. This photograph, by Mathew Brady, shows Barnard c. 1865.Photograph credit: Mathew Brady; restored by Adam Cuerden ArchiveMore featured pictures...

Long belated thank you

I was thinking how nice it was when the occasional new editor tells me thanks for a welcome template I placed on their talk page; then I realized that I had never thanked you for the one you left me! So allow me now to extend my belated thanks for welcoming me to the project. Thank you! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 21:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

A little help

A fellow editor asked me if he can remove/delete an account which he accidentally created. See here). Is this possible? Does it take an admin to do so? What is the procedure? Thanks! -- Levine2112 22:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Notice board for vaccine-related topics

Hi again, I don't really have any choice but to revert this edit again, for a few reasons:

  1. You refuse to engage me on the talk page. I've asked you several specific questions, and you've repeatedly responded by deleting my comments.
  2. You've repeatedly accused other editors of "personal attacks" but you've refused to explain to me which comments you think violated WP:NPA. You can't just throw around terms like "personal attack" and then refuse to say which comments you're talking about, and why you think they violate WP:NPA.
  3. You falsely claimed in your edit summary that you were moving the discussion to the talk page. In fact, you just deleted it.
  4. Yet again, you've marked your edit as minor, when you know it's not a minor edit. Since this has been clearly explained to you several times, I can only conclude that you're deliberately abusing the "minor edit" checkbox to avoid scrutiny from other editors.

As I've said before, you have no right to delete my comments from a project page. If you honestly think I've violated WP:NPA, please report me at the administrators' noticeboard. At the very least, take the time to answer my questions instead of unilaterally deleting them. Sideshow Bob Roberts (talk) 12:57, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Ban on Notice board for vaccine-related topics

Under terms of your indefinite probation, I find deletion of material on Misplaced Pages:Notice board for vaccine-related topics stating in edit summary to have moved to talk page (as per this), when bulk of material is not transfered (as here) is being disruptive. I therefore impose a ban on your further disrupting that noticeboard. I'll submit this to WP:AN/I for other admin review. David Ruben 20:29, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
