Thank you, Mod. I just knew it would be a Dylan video. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday. JNW (talk) 14:57, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

The Skater

I hope you're enjoying retirement. I just dropped by to point out that The Skater is today's Featured Picture. This wouldn't've been possible if you hadn't written the great article. It should get lots of hits today. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 18:45, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

• Thank you so much for the note, Mandarax! It was a written in response to a request from Outrigger. Cheers, JNW (talk) 19:32, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

A rhetorical question for erstwhile colleagues in the fine arts

Why would I, or anyone else, want to 'come back' to an editor who corresponds in this fashion ? User:Modernist, User:Johnbod, et al, feel free to have a look at the talk and the article. Much ado about nothing, I know, but I've been accused of hoaxing. I'm off to the liquor cabinet, where there's still a copious amount of Maker's Mark. JNW (talk) 03:21, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

All retracted. Seems to be Dutch, & a mixture of Calvinist bluntness and a command of English tone that isn't quite as perfect as believed can produce odd results (except for Drmies of course). Hope you're well, all the best, Johnbod (talk) 03:47, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Sometimes the strangest characters appear; and just when we were out the door something pulls us back in...Modernist (talk) 11:45, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Removed block notice

Hi, JNV. I've reverted you at User talk:OhTeaYAssss2015, because the user gets to remove my block notice if they want. (Just not declined unblock requests.) I've blocked 86.14.187.187 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) too, btw, but only for 31 hours, as it's unfortunately dynamic. :-( Thanks for your report, and I'll try to keep an eye on the page.

• Much appreciated, Bishonen. Cheers, JNW (talk) 03:03, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Comments requested.

JNW you are the ideal individual to examine and comment on some questions I have presented on the Talk Page at https://en.wikipedia.org/Abstract_expressionism I do respect you for your previous comments, and I only wish to be positive and not combative. But I do believe there are some serious problems with a list of 100 Artists, introducing them as all being Major Abstract Expressionist Artists whose mature work defined American Abstract Expressionism, when someone like Alexander Calder was included when he actually belonged to the “Kinetic Art Movement.” Actually only a few on the list “defined AAE,” most enjoyed being part of the movement, but did not define it, only a few defined it. (I will accept some who might have “helped define” it, but that is playing a minor role.) Please where am I out of touch? Sirswindon (talk) 19:34, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
