Purr Lexus - The most beautiful girl in the world
DOB 6/18/1996 - DOD 1/5/2015 - 9:28am. Rest in Peace little girl.
I hope no one minds. I would like to tell the story of my little girl Purr Lexus. I had spent the 1995 football season with the SF 49ers. The project was over and I moved back to So Cal. My salt water fish tank had broken and I was forced to give/trade for credit my sea life at Sand Bar pets. A year later, a young lady I was with convinced me that my home, over the San Clemente pier, "needed a kitty". I tried to resist and ended up at that same pet store a few hours later. I saw a lot of domestic cats and, in a special cage right up front were 2 little fuzz balls. I opened the door and said to myself, lets see if either of these two have any love. In seconds she had climbed into my hand curled up and just started purring like no cat I have ever seen. I was smitten and asked about the price and my pending credit.
Well she was a pure bred 900 dollar kitty, trying to put her down she would have nothing to do with it. I paid the balance and she went home in my lap, just the way she left us today purring all the way. The last few weeks have been hard, it was clear she was not doing well and when she stopped eating Friday, I knew it was time for her to go. We spent most of the weekend just cuddling and with her on my chest. She had a extremely advanced cancer and there was no hope for any type of recovery. Her entire life she had know nothing other then love and pampering, I treated her like the princess she was and always will be to me. She out lived many of my friends and family and I know that her pain is over, and she departed this world, in my hands just the way she came to me. Nothing but love to her final moments. I can not say that I have ever had anything for 20 years, much less a sweetheart like her. Good bye girl your forever a giant piece of my heart. I love you!
A beer for you!

Adding pictures to Manhattan
First, your image alignment is wrong. It should probably go in the Culture or Landmarks sections, not the Demographics section; it will otherwise be taken out of context, especially in a printed version of the article. Second, we don't need many more images. While your additions are appreciated, it will be best if you leave this image out for now. (Also, just because the image was taken in Manhattan does not automatically mean that it should be in that article.) Epicgenius (talk) 19:21, 11 December 2014 (UTC) These are, as you have seen some of my first contributions to the area
- Thank you for the communication. I can appreciate that the page has a lot of images and after a review of the page and the area, I added it feeling that it was of a high enough quality that it enhanced the story. Regarding its placement that is IMHO a matter of interpretation, and I respect yours. If you would like to suggest a batter location, or perhaps a picture that is nominal or "past its prime" (dated) and replace the older photo with this one, its your call. Cheers! talk→ WPPilot 19:34, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- Sure. Probably, from the sections selected above, I'd say "Architecture", since it is a short-range cityscape from midtown Manhattan (as opposed to a view from afar). I think it should be a thumbnail, though. Epicgenius (talk) 19:40, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Tysnes lake photo
I am only aware of one lake with the name Kyrkjevatnet in Tysnes, it looks like this and is definitely not the lake the in picture. --Njardarlogar (talk) 18:39, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- Interesting, my friend Gunner was the Mayor, and the home in your photo, belongs to my aunt, Rita Konsfig/Sprinkle. I will ask her, as your correct based on this photo. It was 1996 when that was taken, and this IS Tysnes, I am sure, forgive the error. --talk→ WPPilot 18:48, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- I can practically assure you that the photo is not from Tysnes; no such mountains exist in or near Tysnes - they are too jagged. I think there must have been a mix-up. :-) --Njardarlogar (talk) 18:41, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
FD Pic
Hi, Actually it is NOT an modern FD the boat is NOT well sailed. It is NOT a good action shot but a pic of a cruising FD almost in trouble. It does NOT advertise the FD specially if you consider that this boat was build in the Olympic era of the FD. It does NOT reflect the high standards of that time. The other 3 pics does reflect there time period.
The pic with the green kite is one of a recent boat (this century and well sailed (like the other two).
I am in favor of an many pics as possible. But this one should not lead. If there is a better one okay.
Regards_/)_/)_/) ˷˷˷˷˷˷˷˷ _/) NED33 21:59, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
While that was the first time that boat was sailed in years, and you are no doubt correct on its not being well sailed, (it was in fact frozen in time with OEM rigging from Mader (1992) intact), I have a LOT of great shots, from the last 2 years of the same boat after it was totally redone. If you are the skipper of NED 33 PLEASE by all means post something current, but the fact is that Mader, has not in any way changed the mold, on this boat, and the boat you get from them today has only a few changes from that boat.: http://www.mader-boote.de/neue-boote/flying-dutchman-fd/ 1488 was rerigged just after this shot. talk→ WPPilot 22:04, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'm skipper of NED 33 but not an FD anymore. My FD was NED 17 in the 80s (Kurt Hein). The late 60 boat pic was also a Mader and the 21 century as well. The Early 60 a Dusseldorp. Maybe the mould of Mader is not changed since 1990 but the layout definitely did in 25 years time. Also cruising FD pics are okay since it is also a wonderfull boat to cruise. But if you are looking for an well sailed FD leading picture (recent and probable Mader as well please look at this type of pictures:-) https://fdworlds2015.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/10405271_800578310011796_6517759723536759757_n.jpg
Sorry If I have offended you. That is never my intention. Again I am not against more pictures. It would be nice If the gallery really represent the development of the FD over the years. Regards _/)_/)_/) ˷˷˷˷˷˷˷˷ _/) NED33 22:18, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- No offence taken and hello skipper, nice to meet you. I have some great cockpit shots after the retrofit that I can post soon. The worlds shots are nice, but we (Misplaced Pages) can not use them. I will get some new ones posted. The challenge is dealing with the photos (limited at that) we have on Commons. I can get a few other US Skippers to contribute pics. My comment regarding modern was more to the effect that it is not a delaminating Plastrend or a one off wood boat from days of old. The hull had measurement stickers from Barcelona 1992 when I got it, so it would be considered a modern version of a boat that has been being built since 1951. The boat, in the photo was in fact frozen in time, and as mentioned before had NEVER been rerigged. talk→ WPPilot 18:24, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

WP Featured Pictures
Hello, WPPilot -- I was disappointed when I saw your edit removing your nomination and read the accompanying edit summary. I'm fairly new to participation on Featured pictures and am still learning. I don't know a whole lot about photography; to me, nearly all the photos are wonderful, but I read the criticisms of other more knowledgeable editors and try to learn from them. I knew, because the photo of Balboa Pier was taken from the sky, that it was not an easy photo to take, but I thought it was the type of photo that could be re-taken if need be. But, overall, with regard to the photos that are nominated, I wonder sometimes if editors are not too critical, but since I'm new to FP and don't know as much about photographs as some of the other editors, I defer to them. I know I've gotten my evaluation of the quality of images wrong on several occasions, and very possibly also on this one. I hope you don't take this personally. Your user page shows that you are so knowledgeable in many things and that you have an interesting life, and your comments on FP show that you are a very nice, thoughtful person. With regard to the Balboa Pier photo, I think there is a chance that you could turn it around and garner more support votes if you argue against the criticism and for the image, but, even if you do and are not successful, or don't feel like doing that, I urge you to continue submitting photos (many, or all, of which I believe are your own photos). I believe a number of your photos have been promoted (don't know how many) and others will be promoted in the future. Also, and I know this may be hard to believe, it brightens my day to see your participation in FP and on WP, and I think it brightens other people's day, too. I would feel sad if you discontinued your participation. Please reconsider. - CorinneSD (talk) 15:38, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Doug Matthews, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Palm Beach (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

SpaceShipOne
You've probably seen the notification, but I've asked Gamaliel to make SpaceShipOne the main picture on the Signpost page. I'm trying to keep the FC titles to a reasonable length, ideally focused on the first image, but I understand why you'd want the excellent SpaceShipOne emphasized, so... Think that'll work? If not, we should probably swap the first Bonheur and the SpaceShipOne image and rewrite the title and tweak the Bonheur caption. Adam Cuerden 15:42, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Trawler
That's a nice photo of a trawler and it would be good to use it in articles. However you give almost no background information and I can't find information about it on Google. Is it a recreational trawler? When and where was it built. Was it custom built, what materials was it built from and what did it cost? How long is it and what tonnage? What is the draught and the beam? How is it powered, what range does it have and how fast does it go? How many people will it accommodate? Without some background like this it has little value on Misplaced Pages, which is a shame. Also you say the photo is your own work, but then you say "photo D Ramey Logan". How does that reconcile?

- Random: None of the boat photos have any o the information that you have requested. She is 72 feet was custom built for a owner in Newport Beach. The nomination clearly states recreational trawler so to answer that question it is a recreational trawler. None of the prior photos of yachts have required the answers to the questions you have posed. I only knew of the captain and it is custom built. She is just over 70 feet, All wood and diesel powered twin screw and I have no idea how many fish, or humans it will accommodate but I know it has a range of over 4000 miles. Also do you really think my name is WPPilot? talk→ WPPilot 05:05, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
- Great... thanks. (The other boats are proprietary, so it is easy to find information on the web).--Epipelagic (talk) 05:09, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
La Jolla
Please accept my apology for the inappropriate edit summary I left at La Jolla. In the past year I've removed hundreds of photos taken from airplane windows, or of random airplanes in the sky, and then added to articles by well-meaning editors (I removed over 30 photos from the Mexico City International Airport article alone). Had I first looked at your profile I'd have seen you are a well-regarded editor and photographer. Would you be ok if your photo was moved into the article? In my experience, the infobox photo is usually of a courthouse or civic area. Thanks, and again, sorry for my comment. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:40, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
- No @Magnolia677: you many not move the photo to the body. Just leave it alone and move on. --talk→ WPPilot 15:43, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Really too bad
Hello, WPPilot -- I am really sorry about what happened regarding the Signpost, and I am sorry it made you so upset. I really do understand how you felt. I hope you will continue to edit on Misplaced Pages and perhaps also continue to submit photos to FP. I would be glad to help you in any way I can -- proofreading, nominating images, etc. Best regards, CorinneSD (talk) 16:56, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- You might be interested in reading Talk:Cucurbita#Alternative medicine section and User talk:CorinneSD#Herbal tea, and User talk:CorinneSD#Losing a good editor. You may be angry, but you may not be as alone as you think, and it is worth being careful with the language you use to avoid any problems in the future. Even I have been upset at times by the manner of some other editors, but things change and the situations pass and are forgotten. There are plenty of articles and projects to work on, and many really nice and interesting editors to work with. You may feel discouraged about FP at the moment, but I assure you there are editors who would welcome more of your nominations and help with any technical issues. Please don't throw in the towel on Misplaced Pages. CorinneSD (talk) 17:06, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Civility is required
Please note that your recent edit summary and this talk page posting were not very civil. Misplaced Pages requires that contributors be civil to make collaborating to build the encyclopedia possible. In future please be more polite. Thank you. - Ahunt (talk) 19:42, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
