Re: Question about deletion of Spring Web Flow Tutorial

Re your message: The article Spring Web Flow Tutorial was deleted because the original author requested its deletion. There was not much content before it was deleted. More like an outline of a tutorial. There is no tutorial for Spring Web Flow on Wikipedia as tutorials are not what Wikipedia is intended for. If you want to learn about Spring Web flow, your best bet would be to start on the project's website instead of Wikipedia. There appears to be a book written about Spring Web Flow and that might be a good starting point, too.

As for what else you can edit here, well, lots of things really. It depends upon your interests. Whatever they might be, it is very likely that Wikipedia has an article or articles about it. You might want to just explore and see what is available. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:55, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Wikimedia election voter qualifications

Re your message: Yes, I remember you. I'm glad to see that you have decided to stick around and explore Wikipedia. As for your question, there are a minimum number of edits that one had to have in order to be eligible. This prevents somebody from creating a bunch of new accounts with few edits and trying to skew the results of the election. As you discovered, you do not hit the necessary threshold for the number of edits. You can see how many edits you have by looking at Special:Preferences. The number will be under the User Profile/Number of Edits. The detailed requirements are listed at here, but the description is pretty dense. Instead, you might want to read the Signpost article on the elections. I think that is written in a much friendlier style since the Signpost is supposed to be like a newspaper. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:01, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Re: Question about revert

Re your message: Hello, again! Long time, no see. Yes, that should be removed and I removed it. I'm not sure why the anonymous editor decided to add it as they did here. Maybe they meant to "revert" the previous anonymous IP's edit? Hard to say. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:33, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Re: Biased stub

Re your message: Hello, again! I removed the material in question. As you said, it was likely written by a person upset with the group and it was unsourced opinion and allegations. It was added only a few days ago, so it is likely the group was recently involved in something that made somebody unhappy with them. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:44, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Lion of Halikarnassos

Hi Bigdaddy, I have a question about a photo, Camera Pictures 032.jpg, that you posted under Mausoleum at Halikarnassos. It's a picture of a lion sculpture from the Mausoleum, in the collection of the British Museum. Could you please give me a general idea of the size of that sculpture? Thanks, Jeaniac (talk) 16:55, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jeaniac, thanks for your message. The lion is quite large - I would say it's about life size. If you're standing next to it, the Lion is a realistic scale. It's not larger than a real lion would be. If anything, it may be slightly smaller than real life, although it's definitely larger than any animal such as a large dog.

The size is about life size, if you watch this video you can see how the lion compares to the girl - the sculpture is very close to the real scale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1ZnGCMyZ-k

Hope this helps! Bigdaddy1204 (talk) 15:39, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
