hi @ Johnbod. I haven't heard from you on the talk page and wanted to send a message here, extending an olive branch. If there is something I said or did that upset you, please know that it was not intentional. It seemed like the tone my edit summary (certainly not directed at anyone) was the catalyst, but I would like to know more so I can properly address it. I appreciate your very extensive contributions to WP:VA and it would be great to be able to collaborate productively moving forward. I hope you feel the same way. Thanks so much.

You appear to be a Christian (and I had an enjoyable tour of the Royal Society on Sunday) so what's this about the Chinese publisher claiming that the Biblical quote was faked? They CONFIRMED it. Also, I don't see why you have to quote the offending passage in full - just say that the Communists re-wrote it to say Jesus killed the sinner, distorting the message that Christianity is about saving sinners. 2A00:23C0:7984:5101:F828:91E4:4C6C:ED82 ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 09:37, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 91.149.239.12. I'm LOGGED IN, not using a ip at all. Johnbod ( talk) 03:21, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Accept reason:
In a rare departure from my usual practice (and, indeed, our usual practice) I have taken it upon myself to grant you indefinite IPBE because you are the epitome of a trustworthy user. I know you and respect your work, ten years ago we met in person at Wikimania, you have been editing for as long as I have and you have more edits than I do. I was stunned to see your name in the unblock-request queue, and I am frankly surprised you didn't already have IPBE. — Daniel Case ( talk) 06:40, 25 September 2023 (UTC)}C)
I'm LOGGED IN, not using a ip at all.Logging in to a Wikipedia account means that your IP address will not be displayed in the history of pages you edit. However, every interaction on the Internet involves using an IP address, so you use to connect to Wikipedia's servers, even if you are logged in. Blocks of IP addresses can be made with or without the "anonymous users only" flag set. VPNs and proxy blocks are generally made without that flag set, meaning that they apply to logged in users while they are connecting to Wikipedia from that IP address. This is done because there are a number of ways for LTA vandals or harassers to gain access to a large number of accounts which cannot easily be linked together until they are used. Configuring blocks of VPN and proxy services in this way prevents someone from simply switching IP addresses as well as accounts to continue a vandalism spree. This block does not prevent anyone from accessing any part of Wikipedia. Users who require a VPN or proxy in order to edit have always been encouraged to get IP block exemption, which you can get by contacting a CheckUser or through making an unblock request, but which you do not need to worry about because you now have it assigned indefinitely.

This article you have been looking after is quite well written. After some thought, I am adding 2-3 short paragraphs to cover the importance to Northern master painters to visit Italy. Adapting from Durer article following copying within Wikipedia to start to cover general topic of artists sojourns to Italy.

Thanks for the thanks, johnbod. I wanted to tell you myself. I drifted away for a bit, while I had the translation of the catalogue from de:Donatello (Werkkatalog) in the pipeline. What do you think about the intro to the tables, is it ok, or is it too much, self-conceited or pettifogging (kleinkariert) in any way? I thought maybe to retract it as default.

Howdy Johnbod,
I realize that we've been getting into somewhat of a fun little "editing war". I am not trying to start and trouble but I am working on a final project for school and I have chosen the Pisa Griffin article to edit and revise a little bit. I'm honestly still learning how to use Wikipedia so if I do anything incorrectly I do apologize. My project is due on December 6th so I just wanted to politely ask if you could reframe from change any of my edits until then, or even better if you have any helpful words or information/ references that you could help me with since you do seem to be somewhat of an expert on the Pisa Griffin.
All the best to you

? (To use 1.25 for the main image would be reasonable to achieve 280 but 1.27 if you want to be picky.) It is not a big article so the adjacent thumbnails don't disrupt the text, so the dispute is really about the means rather than the end.

The Palladian bridges at Wilton House, Prior Park, Stowe, and Stourhead are apparently the only ones in existence. Assuming this is true, what makes the Stourhead bridge particularly Palladian?
