as per your message on my talk page.

Hi. I am new here and have run into a lot of self-inflicted issues that I am hoping I have sorted out now and am learning navigating and "rules and guidelines" better. I do have a question however, about your post on my talk page that says that the author of an article up for deletion discussion should not participate in the discussion. May I ask the reasoning for this? I seems to me that would be a bit like going to trial with no defense lawyer and not speaking in your own defense either. Maybe the problem in question may be a simple misunderstanding that could be rectified by explaining oneself. I have no issues at present, but I just would like to know the reasoning.Just curious. Thanks --Jackie ohlsen (talk) 14:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Misuse of rollback

Hello! Why did you rollback a friendly note pointing out to someone that she forgot to sign a post in a discussion? Rollback is intended for vandalism, not giving someone a good faith heads up. Was that just an accident? Best, --A Nobody^{My talk} 21:59, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm at a bit of a loss over this. I don't remember visiting that page recently, nor would I delete another editor's comments. I can't really figure this one out, but apologies nonetheless. freshacconci talktalk 03:53, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't sweat it. Have a nice night! Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 03:56, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! I just figured it out: I was playing with an iPod and seeing what editing Wiki was like. I tried reverting a bit of vandalism on my watchlist and must have hit rollback on Fram's talk page instead. Wow, I really am sorry about that. I was experimenting and didn't bother to check the results. Let's just say iPods were not made for editing Wikipedia. freshacconci talktalk 21:28, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, like I said, no big deal; hopefully it was good music, though! Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 02:28, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have video that I wanted to share regarding Ernest Hemingway's Last Safari, it shows Ernest Hemingway along with his wife Mary and son's Pastrick and Gregory 1953-54. I am doing a documentary on Ernest Hemingway Hemingway "gratus" and donating this film to The JFK Memorial Library in Boston for Schlors and Students to view. I had no idea thatb I was violating Wikipedia rules by adding a link and appoligize for this and welcome any suggestions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tycoon36 (talk • contribs) 03:17, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Genn

You added some tags[1] which I have removed, as I think those issues have now been addressed in the article. However, there is still some querying about them, and I would be grateful if you could add to the talk page discussion. Ty 14:12, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems Genn's account of his meeting with Lawren Harris is being called into question, but I don't see a problem, as it's referenced. Any input welcome. Ty 10:59, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nathalie Quagliotto, from what you have said, I think that a repeat AfD is justified. The first one was a bit haphazard. If you have done further research that indicates new material (or rather lack of it), this would have a strong bearing on the discussion, and is not simply a rehash of the previous AfD. If you do nom it, then that should be explained, along with the documentation of your research.

Don't feel under any pressure to contribute. It's a voluntary project after all... It was partly a courtesy to notify you of the tag removals, as you seemed to have some interest in the subject. I think the Genn/Harris incident should be included in Lawren Harris, but as User:Ernstblumberg seems opposed to this, I'd like to have other input. I have more material on Harris: online reprints of two full length articles in Magazin'Art.[2] It's not a publication I know, but appears to be a viable source.

Unbelievable, that you are warning people who want to make an interesting contribution to an article.

suggest for removal

Hi Freshacconi. Having seen the zeal with which you and a couple of others chase down the possibly-not-notable, I suggest for your inspection the lesser musical references in the popular culture subsection of the Hindenburg airship's article. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_disaster#Popular_culture the Zepplin album of course is notable, but the other bands seem like self-promotion by tiny entities.

Sweetheart of the Rodeo

Hi Freshacconci! I saw your recent revert edit on the Sweetheart of the Rodeo article and totally agree that this article is not subject to fancruft at all. All of the info is vital to understanding the album, it's historical significance and place in 1960s rock music. I'm assuming that your revert edit means that you agree with this. I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but the article is currently undergoing a WP:GA assessment by SilkTork and there's been some discussion as to how much of the info is relevant.

While there has certainly been a few instances of information that is not totally relevant creeping in to the article, Cbben and I have worked hard to weed out this surplus information, leaving only was is absolutely essential. I am a fan of the band and the album, of course, but I also have an almost obsessive attitude to Wiki articles when it comes to presenting information in a factually accurate, non-biased way. As such, I personally believe that everything that is currently mentioned in the article is essential to a comprehensive and balanced understanding of the album and its historical context. The GA reviewer, SilkTork, is perhaps not totally convinced of this, although he's also not in direct opposition to anything currently in the article. Mudwater has recently left a very helpful comment on the GA review talk page (which can he found here) in support of keeping all of the information that is currently in the article, since he feels that every part of it is essential and the removal of any more prose would be detrimental to the article's accuracy and neutrality.

I don't know whether you're a fan of the album or knowledgeable about it's place in the history of country-rock, but if you are and you perhaps agree that the article gives an unbiased, factually accurate overview of the album and it’s history, it would certainly be helpful to have your comments on record. With this in mind, please feel free to add your thoughts on my ongoing discussions with SilkTork, about what is and what isn't valuable information concerning the album, to Talk:Sweetheart of the Rodeo/GA1. Of course, there's still some more work that I need to do on the article, and will be editing it further later on today, but I feel that we are getting closer to having the article passed and awarded GA status. Many thanks. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 14:33, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Read about sunshine pop, baroque pop, art rock ....

Pet Sounds is a pioneer in sophistication, use of classical music. Pop is straightforward yes, but it is very simplistic to pet sounds.

Sloop John B is not a pop , but Close Harmony (country genre).

Not my opinion, but only the rhythms and their conduction played the songs. Skiffle(WBN), mambo (pet sounds song), psichedelic rock and pop on here today ....

I'll search soucers . You're right.

Greetings!!! (Mago266 (talk) 04:01, 16 November 2009 (UTC))[reply]

I've started going through all of this editors edits and he has done a massive amount of damage putting original research into articles. He has changed genres on Beach Boys songs from pop to genres such as waltz, art rock, progressive rock, skiffle, etc. He also added a huge amount of synthesis to the Art Rock article. I think we all need to take some time and dig through this users history and see what else has been changed. Ridernyc (talk) 04:00, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Canadian artist to list/ creating an artist page

Dear Freshacconi,

First thanks for your contributions the wiki! I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction as I am new to Wiki.

I would like to add the abstract artist Niska (Niska.org) to the list of Canadian painters page (I tired last year with an old login/pass which I couldn't recover) - pehaps my source coding was faulty?.. I would also like to create an artist page for this senior Canadian treasure.

Of note, Niska is written up in a number of books - including "Niska " by Guy Robert, founding Director of the Musee D'art Contaimporain de Montreal.

Can you kindly advise on proper steps I should follow in this regard.

Thank you for your attention.

Best, Michael

How the University of Toronto is sometimes called Toronto University

I was not implying that the University of Oxford has something to do with the University of Toronto. BUT they're similar in how they're called, apart from the fact that Toronto is referred to as U of T within Canada. By the way, I would like to emphasize this fact that it's only in Canada that the university is called U of T. Outside Canada, it's either called Toronto or Toronto University. (just like how Oxford is) By the way, I'm an international student and I've never heard of "U of T" before coming here. I always referred to it as Toronto, and I didn't find anything different in calling it "University of Toronto" or "Toronto University" (just like how Oxford and Cambridge) Furthermore, more importantly, some wikipedia entries of the university's alumni such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._E._N._Sinclair do refer to it as "Toronto University", and I simply can't be bothered to go and change all of them to "University of Toronto" An old painting describes the university as "Toronto University" http://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%ED%8C%8C%EC%9D%BC:The_Toronto_University.jpg I can certainly give you more "proofs" if you ask me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wisdompower (talk • contribs) 16:07, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for giving feedback on the Catherine Cameron page

I am a new wikipedia writer.

You gave me three issues to deal with.

Verification Notability Copy editing

I have added some links in the article to the collections that hold her work. Notability can be found in the link to Lens Culture. Do I need to put in more? Copy editing. Shouldn't be a problem since the text has been approved by a friend of mine who is an English copywriter.

Looking forward for input.

All the best,

Deleted article on Gregory Whitehead

I understand you know something about audio art. I'm writing because I recently posted my first Wikipedia article but it was deleted. The article is about Gregory Whitehead. I would hope you are familiar with his work. The reason given for the deletion is that the article is about no one of any importance. Can you help me, please, get the article undeleted? I wrote to the admin Brookie on this matter a week ago, but have had no response. I revised the first paragraph of the article to include a reference citing his importance in audio art. Below is the revised article.

Thanks, Vispo (talk) 11:12, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gregory Whitehead is a writer, radio producer and audio artist based in Lenox, MA. He is considered to be a major international figure in the fields of audio and radio art from the 1980s to the present. (Weiss, Phantasmic Radio)

Active in cassette culture during the 1980s, his early works include Disorder Speech (1985), Display Wounds (1986), Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1987), The Pleasure of Ruins (1988), Writing On Air (1988) and Reptiles and Wildfire (1989). In 1991, RRRecords released a 7” vinyl record titled Vicekopf.

Selections from his early voice works, which he called “castaways”, were released on CD in 1993 by the Dutch label Staalplaat, who then released a CD version of his seminal experimental radio documentary, Dead Letters, which had first been broadcast in 1985. Two additional radio plays, Shake, Rattle, Roll and Degenerates in Dreamland were released on CD by the V2 Institute for Unstable Media in 1995.

Shake, Rattle, Roll received a BBC Award at the Prix Futura competition in Berlin.

Other works produced these years were widely anthologized on audio or radio art CD magazines such as Tellus, Aerial and Revista de Arte Sonora.

Whitehead collaborated with Christof Migone on the 1995 radio play, The Thing About Bugs, for New American Radio. Other radioplays from the 1990s include Pressures of the Unspeakable (1992), Nothing But Fog (1996) and Bewitched, Bothered, Bewildered (1997), which he produced for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Pressures of the Unspeakable received a Prix Italia award.

Since 2000, Whitehead has produced numerous plays and documentary essays for BBC radio, including The Marilyn Room (2000), American Heavy (2001), The Loneliest Road (2003), On One Lost Hair (2004), No Background Music (2005), The Day King Hammer Fell From The Sky (2007) and Bring Me The Head of Of Philip K. Dick (2009).

The Loneliest Road and No Background Music (featuring Sigourney Weaver) both won Sony Gold Academy Awards.

Dead Letters was included in the sound section, curated by Stephen Vitiello, of the Whitney Museum’s American Century show in 2000, and his Mister Whitehead Are You There? was included in the Whitney’s Bitstreams exhibition of digital art, in 2001. His video installation, Delivery System No. 1, was shown at Location One gallery (NYC) in 2001, and his multimedia installation, The Bone Trade, was exhibited at Mass MOCA in 2003.

Whitehead has also been a frequent speaker at various conferences and festivals, including Radio Without Boundaries, Third Coast, Megapolis, Boundless Sound, School of Sound, and Airborne. He is the author of numerous essays on subjects relating to the poetics of radio space, and he is co-editor of a ground breaking anthology of sound art and radio texts, Wireless Imagination: sound, radio and the avant-garde (MIT Press, 1994).
