Maxophone

Hi Graham,

A while ago, I created a page for the Italian progressive rock band Maxophone.

I've noticed that back in August you deleted this page citing your reason as being a 'nonnotable band'

I would deem a non notable band as an unsigned band that has not or will not ever be heard from outside their local pub or club.

Maxophone, however, were considered the great hopes of Italian Progressive Rock when they released their one and album that even to this day, is still considered a prog classic.

This said, I feel that a page on their brief career was and still is warrented,

I would like to hear your views on this matter. Was it because of your own personal music tastes?, or was it simply because you yourself had never heard of them.

I feel the page has been deleted unnecessarily, and I wish it to be noted, that I feel it should be reconstructed.

thanks

gymnophobia

It was cut and paste from http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=12335

I am struggling with phobias for quite some long time. There are numerous problems with these articles I am not sure you want to hear. The main one is summarized in -phob-#Phobia lists. I am not only deleting these articles. I understand that a red link is a magnet. Therefore I am writing useful stubs so that bullshit may be kept out easlily. Examples of this approach are fear of mice, fear of being buried alive and many more. Then I redirect the "XXphobia" articles there. `'Míkka>t 18:00, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my spelling error at MediaWiki:Tog-fancysig. — xaosflux Talk 02:18, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. Graham87 02:20, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

You are good

May i just say thanks for keeping wikipedia as it is and making sure the references are in tact and removing nonsense from these pages. I just point out because you really got on the back of this user 220.239.25.18 and made sure nothing got past you. Did you have those pages on your watchlist or something? I doubt it, i mean Kate Ellis, BOM, Mike Carlton and Peter Fitzsimons? C'mon!

I think that person was trying to get away with it as long as possible but for it to only last a day and then bang you got it, he must have been surprised. Its not as if those pages are important or anything like that or visited frequently. Kate Ellis last edit was one month before that, Michael Costa 2 months before that. Next time i try something like that, not that i will or am thinking about i'll keep you in mind. You sneaky one! Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 03:58, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I picked you at random for this question

Graham, what was the point of me semiprotecting Tau Gamma Phi here when obviously here it didn't work!!? What's going on? —ScouterSig 23:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

The {{sprotected}} tag merely displays a standard banner stating that states/claims the article is protected, but it does not in itself activate protection. To protect the article, the "Protect" tab at the top of the page must be used, and that is only available to administrators - normal editors can not protect pages. Suggest if you feel there is a problem going to WP:PROTECT to make such a request. David Ruben Talk 23:37, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Indeed. I've semiprotected the article properly - the history is a mess with spam and generally bad edits. Graham87 05:30, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: [1]

Graham, you can't block anyone for editing WP:SANDBOX. We actually encourage all people to edit however and whenever they like in the sandbox. That is the purpose of the sandbox. So it would be preferable if you unblock the IP yourself(otherwise, I will), as clearly blocking the anon is sending the wrong message especially when it's edits to the sandbox. nat.utoronto 04:31, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Here is the proof

In the article about Jon Sullivan i took it from this article [2]. You really do have a habit of getting to me when i least expect it. it must be my bad luck because what i have edited is not offensive or anything like that, other people do that. if u read mike carlton's smh column, just type in mike carlton in google you will see what i am talking about. i will have to create an account because you've caught onto me pretty quick. just one question, how could you message me so fast when i made the edits only a while ago? u did this too me last time as well, my edits only stayed a while. i wont try and trick you anymore, but one word of advice, dont stay on the computer too long, your eyes will get bad. i am proof! 220.239.56.103 (talk) 14:14, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Im sorry

Yes you are right in what you have said. I was just joking anyway, because i was waiting for you to make the edit and see how long it took you. It will be the last time i do such a thing. Trust me i hate vandalism on wiki articles as much as you do. I think what was meant by Jon Sullivan is that no matter who was the Labor candidate, they were going to get voted in no matter what.

I just read your profile now and i didn't know about your eyes. I don't really know what to say now except i am sorry and it wont happen again. Good luck with it all and all the best. 220.239.56.103 (talk) 04:31, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello Graham87, I recently noticed that you removed all the external links that I had added to certain sports related pages (Sports in the United States, Sports Leagues, Bowling, Bossaball, etc.). That site helps people find sports leagues and recreation within the United States. Now, if it belongs anywhere it should definitely be in "Sports in the United States" and "Sports Leagues". I can understand that there might not be an exact need to have it in every specific sport, but I sure do think it would be beneficial to the user. If you have ever tried to find sports in your hometown, I think you would know what kind of headache it is. I'm from Southern California and that site helped me out tremendously. I feel like that site is justified to be on each of those sites I added it to. I do hope that you reconsider placing them back where they belong. Thanks, Forrest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.69.246 (talk) 09:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. Since you have done such a marvellous job on wikipedia i thought you might be interested in having a look at your edit stats if you haven't already. I saw it on another user's page and thought everyone should have it so everyone can see what a massive job you do on wiki every single day. Your edit stats

Just to point out you started on the 17th of February 2005 and have made an outstanding 24122 edits! You made an unbelievable 1591 in the month of September 2005 which is 53 per day! And not once have you edited without a summary. Superb!Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 04:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Bocce

Thanks for the heads-up on the reverts by the anon. I am unsure what his motivation is. Some folks take too much ownership in articles or are closely related to the other links in the article, and maybe that explains it. I am surprised to see her/him remove the alternate name bocci though.... there's plenty of sources to support it. Oh well... maybe they've moved on.

Contributions by 72.148.144.40

Hello, i was told that this IP user was blocked for a month for his vandalism. How come he was able to edit again after three days? Plus, thanks for catching his bad edits. I re-checked end credits of All Grown Up! again last night and it is Nancy Cartwright who voiced Chuckie Finster. Why 2.148.144.40 is convinced its Candi Milo, i dont know. TheProf07 (talk) 12:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

To Graham87 - I've just googled Christine Cavanaugh and after reading about five different biographys could not find anything that says Candi Milo is the 'new' voice of Chuckie Finster. So again the only source is the end credits of AGU! I'm now going to look for a picture of this and if i find one, i will post it here and on your talk page. (PS, I'm posting this on both talk pages so everyone gets the message.) Thanks TheProf07 (talk) 13:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately it seems to be hard to find screen grabs of cancelled TV series from 2003. However, i have managed to find some reliable websites that also state the fact that Nancy is indeed the voice of Chuckie.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387714/

http://www.tv.com/all-grown-up/show/12401/cast.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=tabssh&tag=tabs;cast

I dont think i really have to find anymore. imdb and tv.com are the two most reliable sources about TV shows you're ever likely to find. Thanks TheProf07 (talk) 13:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

With his latest outburst i've lost all intension to talk with him. If i see him edit Candi Milo back on to any of the above articles i'll revert it. I hope you will do the same. I think its become clear he's not just someones who's mistaken, he's a genuine vandel. TheProf07 (talk) 02:41, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

AN thread

Hi there. Please see: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#The next step. You've already commented earlier, but I'm now trying to work out how you and User:Nakon (who both made the null edits to the Main Page) became aware of all this. Was there a private discussion on IRC? E-mails? Can you shed any light on what happened here? Did you talk with others about how the number of edits wasn't quite high enough? I'm aware you blocked yourself for 7 seconds over this, but what I'm trying to figure out is what methods of communication were used here, and why there was (seemingly) no discussion on-wiki?

Hi there Graham, I know how you like hunting down vandalism and may i suggest you always trace the George W. Bush page.

I accept that, but could you please explain to me how our article is seen as blatant advertising, but this one belonging to the San Francisco Motorcycle Club isnt ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Motorcycle_Club I formatted the article in the same way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NetballStars (talk • contribs) 01:08, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

RE:

Quote-The article San Francisco Motorcycle Club asserts some notability because it was founded in 1904 and is the second-oldest club of its type in the United States. Your user page article read much more like an advertisement, inviting people to go to that netball club even if they couldn't by virtue of being 10,000 miles away. Your username is also the same as your netball club so the conflict of interest is very obvious. Your user page is like a user profile - it is OK to say that you work for the Netball Stars on your user page, but not to use the whole page for advertising. Graham87 02:56, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

the only reason that my user page was the same as the netball club is because I was trying to post the article and assumed it had to originate from my user page(the wikipedia user controls are not very clear/user friendly), and no I do not WORK for the netball club - the reason for my article was to post information - and the San Francisco Stars Netball club does assert notability because its the first and only netball club in Northern California , it was formed in August 2000 and its also affiliated with the Golden Gate Rugby Club (the Bay areas premier rugby club) and Treasure Islands development authority. We also have achieved a first in that we are helping develop and promoting participation in netball in the San Francisco Bay area and boosting its profile as a competitive sport in the USA, Canada, and the rest of the Americas.A Sport that is still a fringe sport in the USA, despite the fact that it actually originated in the USA - a country that never played the sport previously.

However, its fine we dont need to post the information, but I just wanted to clarify that with you. Thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NetballStars (talk • contribs) 05:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Dear Graham87,

Sergei Rachmaninoff

Thank you for you improvement to the article Sergei Rachmaninoff. Your command of English also shows quite a level of musicianship. Would you be so king as to look at my efforts in the article Bechstein and related discussions initiated by me for the purpose of improving the article. Bechstein was the leading piano maker in Europe until their factories and storages were destroyed by air-bombing in WWII. I am trying to bring as much material I know, as possible in order to help building a comprehensive Wikipedia article. Your participation would be highly appreciated.

Bechstein and other pianos, their sound, playability, and general discussion

Dear Graham87,

Thank you very much for the attention and improvements you made to the article Bechstein. I really appreciate your personal story, because I am a disabled person, after having a series of amputations due to an accident when I fell on a railroad. I grew up with pianos that my parents had, took piano lessons for about 10 years, then, eventually I got into a medical profession, but still continued playing piano and keyboards as a night gig, and also toured with various bands on my vacations. Pianos are a wonderful extension of our intellect, imagination and creativity, and to me playing piano is both a physical and intellectual exercise on a highest level, because music gives with more freedom than words. As Sviatoslav Richter used to say: "Around the piano - either play or listen." His world was above the verbal realm, and he did not talk much about perceptions and subjective feelings, it was either a beautiful music, or no less beautiful silence. Words are always smaller than inner thoughts and creative imagination of a free mind. Every piano is also an object of art, it is a thought provoking instrument that works on many levels through the quality of sound, performance, music selections, adequate audiences, right place and time, inner peace, and other components contributing to nice ambience. When I learned about the hundred-year-old Bechstein at the Trident Studios in London, that was played by Elton John, Eddie Mercury, and The Beatles, I took a trip to London, but the Trident Studios were already sold. However, I played a few other good pianos: Fazioli, Bechsteins, Bluthners, Bosendorfers, and of course Steinways at the Steinway Hall on the Marylebone Lane, and another nice Steinway at the Wigmore Hall. I also tried some nice Steinways at the 57th street Steinway Hall, in NY, NY. Now, in LA, CA, I miss my pianos that I left back in St. Pete, but I'll reunite with them soon. Thank you again. Fondest regards, Steveshelokhonov 07:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

So true. It is now 1 AM on the West Coast, and I just played a little night music before a good night sleep. Regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steveshelokhonov (talk • contribs) 08:00, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

my "vandalism" on Diabelli Variations

Oops! After Firefox crashed then re-opened the Diabelli Variations page where I had been making a few small changes, I received a notice that I was guilty of vandalizing the page. That puzzled me greatly - and upset me, as I am being very careful with that page. I'm sure it had something to do with Firefox re-opening the page on its own. I'm sure I had been doing my edits after logging in, but on the re-start I received my notice of vandalism idnetifying my by my IP address only. In any case, a bot seems to have restored the page to my last edit. I just don't want my IP address to be blacklisted for vandalism. I tried to follow the instructions for "clearing my record," but the instructions didn't seem to fit what I was seeing on the screen.

I'm not the only one interested in Night music!

Dear Graham, You checked my second article, on Bartók's Night music, shortly after I "published" it. Happy to see you are interested in this great music; I often feel lonely with my interest in it. Needless to say, feel free to add and edit further. Comments also are more than welcome on my talk page. I plan to expand a bit by writing about pieces from each "period": 1) precursors to night music; 2) real night music (starting with 'Tha night's music from Out of Doors;and 3) the third piano concerto: which I consider Day break. also feel free to delete this message (rather than being a true discussion) from your talk page.

By the way, I also recently "published' my Dutch translation of 'out of doors' on dutch wikipedia ("In de openlucht").

I am thinking of major editing of the Bartók page. Especially his music is not well introduced to people with a starting interest in him. also, i think about a separate article about the women in his life. RobertKennesy (talk) 15:10, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


I'm taken aback to see this

I just went to recreate my user talk history, and found that you'd already done it about a week ago, on March 17. That doesn't exactly surprise me—the point that the history has a purpose is valid—but I was truly amazed that you'd do it without the courtesy of any discussion with me—heck, without even telling me! As my contributions show, I'd edited only the day before—in other words, I was available. I'm taken aback and saddened to be treated with so little courtesy. :-( Bishonen | talk 23:30, 23 March 2008 (UTC).

  • Ha! Thanks very much for your reply. Strange, policy-obsessed, frames of mind grip most of us from time to time, I guess, though it's not everybody who'll admit it! Happy editing! Bishonen | talk 12:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC).

Thai baht

I've noticed you posting to Thai baht. I've scanned images of nine 10-baht commemorative coins, 2546-2550 BE, and am wondering how to go about adding them. Pawyilee (talk) 07:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I had not read your user page, but now that I know you are blind, I have a blind problem regarding the standard issue ten baht coin. At twelve o'clock on the reverse are four raised dots, one corresponding to Braille cell 1 and three to cells 1 4 5. The English Braille article says this equals 14. The linked Thai article only says the dots correspond to roman letters A D, and an image for Braille number was deleted. I have heard that the dots represent the number ten for the Thai blind, but only on this one coin. Another only semi-related blind problem. A few sidewalks have bright yellow tiling with raised dots and bars, which at first glance appear to be to aid the blind, but will take anyone following them straight into trouble. Even the sighted have trouble with Thai sidewalks. Pawyilee (talk) 13:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
You are right about dot 1, dots 2-4-5. I may not be blind, but I cannot see! Pawyilee (talk) 14:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your help! To Thai baht remarks, I have just added (with a link to Braille): The standard-issue 10-baht coin has, at the 12 o'clock position on the reverse, raised dots corresponding to Braille cell dot 1 and dots 2-4-5, which correspond to the number 10.
Now I'm going to bed. It is 21:47 local time here. Good night! Pawyilee (talk) 14:47, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Look at this vandalism

For this page right [3] here over the past 4 hours or so, its incredible. You got to wonder why they would target such a page. If you look at the IPs, there is one in Australia as well. Must be some co-ordinated attack. Page should be protected by now at least. Keep up the great work, i have gotten into reverting vandalism myself. Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 07:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

accessing New York Times archives

Hi, I noticed you recently edited a New York Times hyperlink at Ocean Grove, New Jersey to make the inline citation freely accessible. I frequently rely on the NYT archives for inline citations and am wondering how you were able to do that? JGHowes talk - 18:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

NY Times freely accessible

I saw what you did at Jesse Jackson to make the NY Times articles freely accessible. How do you do this? I have a couple of problem articles at Crown Fountain.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 21:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean when you say manipulate the URL?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 07:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
The Crown fountain surveillance camera article had been causing trouble at the time of FAC. Before the FAC and yesterday I could see it without logging in. However, your change probably made it better in the sense that if it ever is temporarily switched back to the login required list, it will be viewable.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 13:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Buckley

Again, I appreciate your feedback. However, I deem it to be rather insulting that you would presume to tell me about my home town of Buckley and what should and should not be present on it's Wiki page when you live, quite literally, on the other side of the world. I appreciate the need to monitor contributions to this website, but even you must be resigned to the fact that you do not represent the epitome of knowledge regarding subjects that you simply must be ignorant of. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.142.50.247 (talk) 21:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Need your help

Hows it going Graham, Just asking how is it that we can revert a page to a previous date before many revisions have been done to the article. this is the article i am referring to and here the page needs to go back to the date 14Feb. On the 21st the user added the Victorian school to category of British Columbia which is not correct and since then IP users have been adding rubbish. Hopefully you can fix this up. Thanks, all the best Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 12:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that and i now know how you did it. Keep the great work up. Take care. Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 12:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

New York Times URLs

The following links are examples of links I have used to beef up the Jesse Jackson, Jr. article this week.

  1. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/09/magazine/09IMM.html?_r=1&scp=51&sq=%22Jesse+Jackson%2C+Jr.%22&st=nyt&oref=slogin

  4. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/09/magazine/09IMM.html

They all link to the same page. Can I remove everything after .html for each URL when I want it to go to the first page of the article?

What about a link like http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C00EFDD173CF937A35752C1A9629C8B63&scp=50&sq=%22Jesse+Jackson%2C+Jr.%22&st=nyt ? What can be chopped off?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 17:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

The stairways

Hi Graham,

I'm just starting my way here in wikipedia in english, I use to make my contribuitions in wikipedia pt, but I'm practicing my english and studying a lot to my writings and books, and so I'm stopping by here to make some works too.

I found your page quite good, and your interesting in stairways, I found that single and fine at same time, because I also do love stairways, I could not help myself from walking upwards one stairway when I was a child, now I love that ones in spiral. They have some special thing related to them.

Hope we can talk more later, I also read you enjoy music, mainly the classical ones, I like too and play piano the most time I can, it is great Schubert and Beethoven, they are my favorite composers, and also Lizst. Consolation is a tune that can move me a lot.

I have also a page with some songs by me, do you play or sing any music?

Good time to you there,

Best regards

Hello, i have created a section on my userpage for other users to find administrators recommended by me. I would like you to add yourself to the list so it can have your unique signature! Please use ~~~ to add yourself, as this will omit the date. If you do not wish to be on the list, thats okay! I respect the choice of every administrator/user on wikipedia. Have a nice day :-) TheProf - T / C 20:21, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Good music

I can't remember since when I liked the stairs, but I think it is since I was quite young. I remember once, in a mall, I walked to the stairway and started climbing, that was fascinant to discover what was up there. But then my mother caught me before I could reach the top. I always wanted to find the top the other times I went there. Good you could climb the stairs when you had the need to learn something by doing it, it certainly did you a good notion of maths. And a good fun too. You were born premature, that sucks... but it didn't refain you from being an active person and someone concerned about the other ones, the music, the words, the feelings and the life in general. So I think it didn't impared you at all in what you became *smiles*. That's what matters, the one who you are inside your heart and mind.

Liebestraum by Lizst and Consolation are my favorite pieces by him. I like Chopin too, Tristesse - Etude Op10 nº3 - moves me in its final part, when there is a variation of the tune. Impromptus by Scubert, mainly the Op 90 nº3, it is very romantic and beautiful, quite impressive.

I also play not so good, because I've learned myself to music, I had only few lessons when I was quite young. Now I love to play, and to compose my own songs, but I do not play quite good the classicals, but I try my best whenever I'm in front of the piano.

My song page is in myspace, you can go to

If you feel like hearing them. I like the songs a cappella too, and there is some like that in there.

I wish I could hear something by you too, if you have anything and you would like to share with me, you maybe could send to my email, if you want, I can give you the address later.

Okay, I enjoyed talking to you, Graham Funny you have the same name of my favorite singer from the band Air Supply, have you heard about them? They are from Australia, so... maybe you know *smiles*

Hugs, from

My email address

I have an ancient long play with all Impromptus by Schubert, and it was when I got knowing and enjoying his compositions. It was back there in the eighties. Then I knew the sheets and I enjoyed playing them the way I could *smiles*.

Oh, I'd love to hear some by you, but I'm afraid my computer does not play MIDI file, but you can try to send. But if you could send them in WAV format or WMA... Thanks for your words on my voice, I wish I could play and sing in a better quality, as much as in my voice and also in the quality of the recording, that's quite noisy and bad. But I use only the common Sound Recorder of the PC, so, the microphone does not a good work at all *smiles*

But I'm glad you could like the songs, I write them since ten years ago, and this year I got to put them in myspace, so more people are able to hear them, it gets me quite happy for.

There is a brazilian pianist and composer, who said once that the musician ones hold a privilege from God, that is the inspiration that He may give. And that, whenever someone plays, it is like calling to God, like a telephone.

That's kind of, I think, whenever a song is played or sung.

Nice to hear from you again, Graham I've added my email in my preferences, so you can use it if you feel like sending me your files.

  • smiles*

Have a good weekend,
