[edit] Hello!!!

I hope you are having a wonderful time. You are the true Himalayan Explorer eh? Wow I'd love to be in Leh right now! Make sure you photograph all the buildings and try to get inside that white palace eh? I'll check out your photos shortly, I'm sure they are exciting! Himalayan 08:40, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Wow nice pics! You were only in Alaska on the 23rd and now you are in northern India! Keep me posted where you are going anyway. Funnily I and User:John Hill improved the Leh article a few weeks back... Himalayan 09:05, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello, are you back now? I was only thinking about you earlier too! Did you enjoy India? Ive done a bit of work on Ladakh monasteries lately actually... Himalayan 17:31, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Nothing much on the translation front... Not a lot has happened really, although the AFD over the bunny freezer Miriam Sakewitz from Oregon was deleted after a a big argument....It somehow hit the main page as a DYK and swiftly resulted in being taken to AFD... Himalayan 18:51, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you add as many missing monasteries/gompas to Template:Buddhist monasteries in Ladakh as you know of. I have a suspicion that we are missing a high number from what actually exists. Himalayan 19:11, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to hear about your illness. Mmm that does sound like a tropical disease or something and your doctor doesn't know what it is? Well you obviously had the injections before going to India to build up a resistance to common diseases.... Hope you feel better soon, keep me posted on how you are, feel free to email me as I will be worrying about you!! Himalayan 14:01, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Glad to hear. I had thought it might be something like typhoid actually... Himalayan 13:24, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese classifier

Hi Calliopejen,

Since you commented on the last FAC, I'd like to inform you that Chinese classifier is at FAC again, located at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Chinese classifier/archive2. Thanks, rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 16:12, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Caribou photo

[edit] Human rights in Chile

I was just done stubbing Human rights in Argentina when I saw your article. I like it. However, how credible is it to copy paste our human rights articles from the US Gov pages knowing their own record? Maybe we can use their structure and their basic info and extend the model to all the different Human rights per country pages? What do you think? --- willuconquer —Preceding unsigned comment added by Willuconquer (talk • contribs) 00:26, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] An award and request

		The Ecuador Barnstar
		Awarded to Jen as a token of my appreciation for her important work on topics in Latin America, particularly Panama and most recently Ecuador. Thankyou for helping fill in gaps. Himalayan 16:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your hard work the last day or two on Ecuador. The fact that those articles were missing is really embarrassing but not in the least bit surprising... Thanks... May you celebrate by klistening to this wonderfully tacky 90s track "Ecuador". And to think I used to listen to dance/hardcore rave music as a teen! Oh I have a request. Is it possible you could upload these free images the ones of on Tibetan and Qinghai/Sichuan are awesome. If you see the second image on my talk page of the stunning lake, that is one of his. P.S. hope you are feeling better! Himalayan 16:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Cool, did you have any photos to upload of India afterwards? I was looking forward to seeing your pics. I saw a few on flickr but not the hundreds I had expected.. I've been doing a lot of work recently on northern Indian monasteries (and Ladakhi kings). I finally got around to creating the infbox for Buddhist monasteries, see e.g Likir Monastery John and I recently wrote. I also managed to make a locator map for Tibet see Lhasa, although someday we will get some decent dvgs for all the Chinese provinces maybe... I found a history book on google books which has a detailed history of Ladakh, chronicles and all that, it is a very good way to identify missing content I think related to Ladakh. Did you go to Zanskar by any chance? I'm in love with this region. Himalayan 16:51, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Yep, you should count yourself very lucky that the people were very hospitable!!! Better than them being nasty! In some places, the people can be less welcoming.... Himalayan 19:30, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] POTD notification

Hi Jen,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture File:The battle of Mazandaran.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on November 4, 2009. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2009-11-04. howcheng {chat} 01:21, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Updates to Caddie_(CAD_system)

Hello. I've made extensive changes to Caddie_(CAD_system), added some references, added a few facts, removed a bit of advertising :-) and removed factoids that I could not find references for. I also need your opinion on the features (see the article's Talk page). I used Caddie 4 when I studied civil engineering in 1992, but I'm not an engineer now, so I'm not the ideal person to write about Caddie's feature set. Thanks. -- leuce (talk) 08:02, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
