I'm not sure if you wrote this article, but I think it's really really great. Thanks for your contributions to it in any case.

Cheers,

The World is Not Enough

This might interest you. igordebraga ≠ 17:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Specially because the result was great[1][2]... congratulations, you've written (most of) a featured article. igordebraga ≠ 16:30, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: This edit, I strongly believe that the edits you undid were sock edits by an indefinitely blocked editor, User:Nimbley6. Nimbley6 has a fascination with all things Scottish, and used to target Scotland until it was semi-protected on a more or less permanent basis. Since then Nimbley6 has gone after Scottish musicians and other Scottish topics. His targets vary, but Garbage and Shirley Manson are recurring favourites - although they did seem to have fallen out of favour recently; unfortunately it looks like he has "rediscovered" them.

Re:IP edits to Shirley Manson

Thanks for the message, I too had started to notice Nimbley6, there was an edit reverted he did on another page last week that stuck in my mind. From looking at your talk page I see he or she has been a thorn in your side for quite some time. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll keep an eye out. I've got the majority of the Garbage and related pages on my watch list and try to revert vandalism and useless contributions as much as my time allows. I spose the grammar and spelling gives the person away.

Luckily for me I generally can spot an untrue/unjustified Garbage edit a mile away. At the moment, I'm not sure of the recent categorisation of Shirley Manson into "Scottish athiests". While I accept that she isn't religious per se, the most recent articles in which Manson is candid about her own beliefs are from 1998/99 (its not a subject she talks about much after then) and I don't think it's fair to make a statement about soemone on comments they made 11 years ago. But, I'll reserve discussion on it, until I find time to do a bit of digging in her interviews to find a recent statement to confirm or dismiss the categorisation. Breakinguptheguy (talk) 14:21, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Nimbley6 does occasionally edit using registered usernames; this one you might be interested in ;-) Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 14:24, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kylie Minogue

hey, you recently contributed to the Kylie Minogue discography but the article has been split without splitting the histories/talk pages ect. to get this properly there needs to be a consensus amongst the editors that the split is justified first. there is a poll here :) Mister sparky (talk) 16:32, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Holywood56

Apologies for not replying sooner - I've not logged in to Wikipedia for *ages*!

I agree: what prompted me to finally log in again was finding Holywood56 rampaging over the old favourite Nimbley6 targets.

Everything you've done so far has been good - banned editors don't get to see their creations kept. If the articles have merit, they'll be recreated by legitimate editors.

I'm reluctant to get drawn back into playing "whack-a-mole" with Nimbley6 and its endless socks, but if you're up for the challenge I'd suggest filing a sock puppet request at WP:SPI: about half-way down the page are two buttons - enter "Nimbley6" in the left box, and hit the left button ("Use this button for most investigations"). That'll take you to a page where you can fill in a few details about Nimbley6's latest sock. Take a look at the archive for past examples of reports, and ping me if you need a hand.

I feel lazy not just doing this myself, but I'm hoping I can focus on work other than sock-busting now I'm back online!

It's All Over but the Crying

Following your edit here, I added a {{prod}} tag to It's All Over but the Crying. Since you created the article, however, I thought I'd better let you know ;-)

Do feel free to contest my prod; I only added it as I saw you'd removed it from Template:Garbage!

Cheers, TFOWR^propaganda 13:58, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am perfectly happy with that; I created the page back in 2007 when the song was scheduled for release with retailers - obviously once it was clear that the release had been cancelled I tried to remove it myself but it was difficult as there was no evidence that it *had* been cancelled - beyond that it hadn't been released and there was no official confirmation that it wasn't going to be. I removed it once from the template before; I think our old sock puppet friend kept re-adding it. Breakinguptheguy (talk) 14:24, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, that wouldn't surprise me! Incidentally, Holywood56 was blocked a week or so ago. I've taken most of their targets off my watchlist so I doubt I'll see them if they reappear - do feel free to give me a shout if/when they reappear... Cheers, TFOWR^propaganda 14:28, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Will do! Now that I'm almost finished college I can spend more time wiki-ing :) I'm currently looking at the Fire Town page which reeks of our "friend" (uninformed press release style writing, Lack Of Proper Use Of Capitals In Song Titles, and fairly inaccurate statements made from assumptions). If I finish my revision early tonight I may do a quick buff of the page and get it at least, more accurate, if not more in-depth. Breakinguptheguy (talk) 14:37, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since you're happy as article creator, I went ahead and created a redirect to the album. I've kept the redirect watchlisted in case our friend returns...! TFOWR^propaganda 16:12, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Absolute Garbage

Now on GA level! Hope you don't mind if I "adopt" your Garbage articles to push them to this later (it's a crime to just let such a good work there without external review...). igordebraga ≠ 15:04, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
