Hazlitt and Bromwich

Thanks for catching and fixing that missing link for Bromwich's name on the William Hazlitt page. Don't know how I overlooked that, with all the time I spent on that article.

Can't resist mentioning that, as it happens, this evening I was just reading Hazlitt's appreciative account of Browne's Hydriotaphia. One of these days I'll dig up my old copy of that wonderful essay and reread it all the way through. It's nice to know that some Wikipedians other than myself still know and appreciate the great old masters of English prose (including, obviously, Hazlitt). Regards, Alan W (talk) 03:12, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

My own favorite is (no surprise) Hazlitt. But it's nice that we can have both. For my part, I highly recommend that you read Hazlitt's appreciative criticism of Browne in Lecture VII of his Lectures Chiefly on the Dramatic Literature of the Age of Elizabeth. Regards, Alan W (talk) 03:43, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

If my own "screw-ups" were never any worse than that, I'd be very happy. <wink> By the way, I found my old copy of Hydriotaphia and am rereading it all the way through, the first time in more years than I like to think. There really is nothing else quite like this piece of writing, at least that I know of. Still thinking how odd it was that your username showed up in my radar, so to speak, at a time when I was rereading Hazlitt's account of Browne's essay.

Center for Class Action Fairness

Hi. You tagged this for a POV. Can I please ask you why you did that? The article covers cases where the CCAF lost too so I fail to see any puffery or POV. Can you enlighten me as to what is the problem and I'll try to address it?♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:35, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Yiddish Policemen's Union, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mother Jones (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.

Equal Protection Clause Lead

I don't know where to put this, but that EPC lead deserves massive praise, and you seem to be the most likely candidate for my meaningless applause.

"What exactly such a requirement means has been the subject of much debate, and the story of the Equal Protection Clause is the gradual explication of its meaning." Pretty much 150 years of debate summed up in a single sentence. Just beautiful. 192.147.26.3 (talk) 21:39, 11 December 2012 (UTC)James P
