Sound Branding

Hi timedew,

we were not involved in a vote in 2005 and do not accept the merging of Sound Branding into Acoustic Branding. We are a serious company that create sounds for brands. The term "Sound Branding" is used by major Sound Branding companies including Sonar Brand And Music, Meta Design and us, GROVES Sound Branding.

Our founder, John Groves, is widely accepted as an International pioneer of Sound Branding and his thoughts on the terminology are available under:

A Rose By Any Other Name.

It is our belief that a common terminology will eventually evolve and that in the meantime all terms - including Sonic Branding and Audio Branding - should be given an equal chance. Making Acoustic Branding a key term in Wikepedia would be tantamount to Knowledge Branding by favouring a terminology that may give a particular company a competitive edge, which is not the philosophy of Wikepedia.

I would be very grateful if you would take this into consideration and allow the knowledge on the Sound of a Brand be communicated as such. --Groves Hamburg 11:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

wikipedia is NOT a medium for self-promotion nor is it a place for you to promote your commercial activities -- timdew (^Talk) 22:19, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I deeply agree with you Timdew.... -- pommesHH 7 November 2006

Pommes, before you realy "deeply" agree with timedew, check this!

Guys seriously, where is your bloody problem? The most of the editors on these articles are probably people from branding agencies and just faking their and profiles as being students or something else. For me, thats the crime!

The "A Rose By Any Other Name" article by John Groves may not be Shakespear, but I don't see any problems with the guy validating and standing up for an opinion by using his own identity or the name of his company. Moreover, his article contains both academic & private definitions and it's makes it’s point much clearer and factual than the "cold", theroetic article by the other “company”. Get real!, "acoustic branding" is the "self-promotion", timedude.

You said you didn't think a reference was needed. I'm just clarifying with you that it's required of us by WP:V.--Ed^{I'm lonely, talk to me} _contribs 21:49, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I know what you are doing, i'm disagreeing with you. it's a concept that may be new to you :O)

Big Brother (UK series 7)

Hey there. I'm leaving you this message as you were a part of making the article Big Brother (UK series 7) and I've had the crazy idea of trying to get it to featured status, or at least a good article. I've made a peer review page, and comments there for improving would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you see I have left anyone out could you message them as well? Thanks. --Alex (Talk) 20:31, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Ice Lolly/Lolly Ice

Where in England are you from where people call it an ice lolly. I'm from Liverpool and we always call it a lolly ice, never an ice lolly.--NeilEvans 18:34, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

yorkshire at the weekends and london during the week. -- timdew (^Talk) 18:54, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Are you originally from London, as that would explain the difference, the North/South divide.--NeilEvans 19:02, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

no i'm originally from west yorkshire but obviously there are still regional differences even though we're geographical "neighbours" -- timdew (^Talk) 19:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Strange, oh well maybe we could start another argument on the popsicle page, that in Liverpool we call them lolly ice and in yorkshire they are called ice lolly and try to prove which of those is the most common use. Haha! I only jest!--NeilEvans 19:22, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Great minds think alike, i was just thinking that this would upset the "popsicle" debating society even more --timdew (^Talk) 19:36, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Help fight systematic bias

Dear Tim,

I would like to draw your attention to the discussion currently ongoing at Talk:Popsicle. If you are interested in helping to counter systematic bias towards North America, and instead establish Wikipedia as an international website, then please feel welcome to contribute with your opinions. Thank you. EuroSong ^talk 13:50, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Nonsense

Regarding this edit - looking at what Wikipedia considers patent nonsense, I cannot agree that the information you removed was nonsense. The word's definition clearly states that nonsense is something with no intelligible meaning. I'm alright if you believe something is too unimportant to be included in an article, but I think a better word would have described it better.

Just curious though why you believe that, because I think it's a reasonable bit of information that can be contributed, especially to such a small section. It's not automatically assumed that Jagex relies on external companies to manage their servers.

Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks - Audacious One 16:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

thanks for letting me know. I hope my flippant use of the word nonsense didn't upset you. Were you trying to say that Jagex rely on hosting companies to deliver their content rather than hosting the "worlds" themselves? Is there any proof that this is the case?

No no, I didn't feel upset - I apologize if I appeared rude in any way. I just meant that Jagax relies on external companies to host their worlds (servers) - where the company actually generates power for and cools down actual computer equipment in an office or somewhere. For example on this page, Andrew explains an experience with a hosting company. Again I apologize if I came off rude - that was unintentional and to be honest this ordeal is really unimportant anyway. Thanks!

what ordeal? i thought you weren't being rude lol

Graduands

Just to let you know about graduands. The gerund in Latin (don't know about other languages), means roughly "to be somethinged...". So the name "Amanda" means "to be loved". A "confirmand" is someone who is "to be confirmed" and a "graduand" is someone who is "to be graduated". So any word like that (forgotten the technical term) can have the suffix -and onto the the end to make it something which will happen. Something with the suffix -ate on the end means it has already happened.

I wondered about it after I'd written it in the BB7 UK article actually, so fair edit.

Sorry if that was deadly boring, thought I'd be teacher for a bit... :-) godgoddingham333 16:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

thanks teach, it wasn't boring at all. I did look it up in a dictionary but couldn't find it there and therefore changed it in the article. I think it's an obscure term,maybe? --Timdew 17:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
