Justin Bieber

A few concerns and questions. The chart positions are on the song pages. Do you expect me to add 20+ references to saying that the album charted in the top ten of thirteen countries? Candyo32 (talk) 13:19, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

The thing is, the songs that go international included international info. and the ones that refer to USA and Canada only charted there. Candyo32 (talk) 13:58, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Just an FYI. And also, please remove the AfC template from accepted submissions, because it does show up still. • ɔ ʃ → 21:12, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

And for anything obviously non-PD, like this, just upload it under fair use, much less WP:BITEy. Thanks, • ɔ ʃ → 21:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. And sorry about the AFC template, must have forgotten. About the Concrete5 image, the way I read WP:NFCI - unless there is critical commentary of the software product going on in the article the image wouldn't qualify under fair use. That's just how I'm interpreting it though, feel free to upload it. --Pumpmeup 21:21, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't even notice the above. It's under the MIT license/LGPL, both of which are free--best always to check these things out too, even for me! Even if it weren't, I'm not sure how the software isn't actually covered in its own article. It specifically discusses the screenshot of the editing interface under the "Features" section. • ɔ ʃ → 21:30, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh, my bad. Didn't notice that part. That'll teach me for editing tired! I'll upload it now and apologize to the poor IP address. --Pumpmeup 21:31, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, I mean, if it's under a free license (MIT and LGPL), it's better to upload it under those rather than fair use... • ɔ ʃ → 21:46, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Yeah... I think I'm going to go to bed. Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed, and I'll let those firmly grounded in the land of the awake edit the 'pedia. --Pumpmeup 21:48, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Please tell me why my post has been put on hold?

Hi, I just created a wiki page yesterday with the best of my understanding and with all the reliable sources already mentioned. Now why the page has been put on hold? Please let me know the reason and the possible suggestions that you can suggest.

Hello. Please refer to our policies on using Wikipedia for advertising, notability of companies and maintaining a neutral point of view. You might like to view your first article too. Your submission (Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/mydala) does not appear to me to conform to the aforementioned policies and appears to exist solely to promote a commercial entity with no mention of why it is notable and worthy for inclusion in an encyclopedia, and that is why I marked it declined. Thank you. --Pumpmeup 11:47, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Your rollback request

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 01:31, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Welcome!

I know you've been here a while (and you got a nice user page by the way) but I see you just got RB and started using huggle. Just wanted to say welcome and if you got any questions with us vandal fighters, don't be shy. Thanks, Tommy2010 02:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Melton

Hi, when you fix the links, could you consider using Melton (borough) rather than Melton, England? The reason being that this isn't the only Melton in England, and it isn't certain that this will be the final name of the article,--Kotniski (talk) 14:11, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, sure thing. I'll put in for a page deletion request now and hopefully be able to move the page again by the time I'm done fixing the links. --Pumpmeup 14:13, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

(Came here to point out WP:FIXDABLINKS but it looks like you're on top of that, thanks.) BTW Navigation popups with the popupFixDabs flag set to true is a big help. Cheers, --JaGa^talk 15:32, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know about Navigation popups, that'll save me a heap of time. I hope to finish disambiguating the links in the next couple of hours. --Pumpmeup 16:00, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

There is no way known that Melton has a population of 103,000 in 2010. The Shire of Melton (including Hillside, Caroline Springs) may, but the Shire of Melton and Melton, Victoria (defined as the ABS urban area) are different entities. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 19:48, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, sorry - my apologies in not researching that figure more thoroughly. Thanks for correcting me. I've removed the reference to the 103,000 figure. Cheers --Pumpmeup 05:19, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Question about a revert

Hello Pumpmeup. You didn't leave an edit summary, so I thought I would ask why you reverted me here? I was reinstating a db-spam tag removed by the article's creator. I am sure the article merits the tag, but am not going to edit-war with you over it - do you disagree with the tagging? Gonzonoir (talk) 08:52, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

No, not at all. I restored the tag you placed. Please see my edit summary for the edit immediately after my revert here - the article's creator also added new content which your undo removed. In future if an edit removes a CSD tag but also adds or changes anything else in the article, don't revert it. Just replace the tag after their edits and let them know of their mistake, intentional or otherwise, which I see you've done. No hard feelings I hope, I probably should have done that manually to avoid confusion. Cheers --§Pumpmeup 08:57, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

No hard feelings absolutely, but I think we are seeing slightly different things: as far as I can see, the edit I reverted (here) didn't add any new content. All it did was remove the legit CSD and copyvio tags, remove a broken image file link, and then move one sentence from the end of the article to the beginning. The actual prose content of the two versions was identical. The diff does make it look like a new paragraph was added (the section with the green background), but that's just because the deletion of the tags at the top moved this content upwards from the line it was on previously. (Sorry to nitpick; just wanted to confirm that I do know when not to simply revert an edit that adds new valid content - I just don't think this was such a case). Gonzonoir (talk) 09:02, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

(edit conflict) My apologies, that was my fault for not thoroughly reviewing the diffs. I see no new content was added now. In any case I'll leave you to ensure that article retains any tags. Sorry if I sounded patronizing, I see you're well on top of the case which I'm not! --§Pumpmeup 09:04, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah, no worries, easily done in the cut-and-thrust of new page patrol and CSD tagging :) Thanks for listening to my take on the case. Gonzonoir (talk) 09:50, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Annie's Road

At the point where I rolled back, only the reflist had been removed dif, the rest occurred while two users were saving at the same instant. I would have caught this had you not jumped it.  -- WikHead (talk) 06:52, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I figured you would have quickly realized that, that's why I didn't bring it up on your talk page. --§Pumpmeup 06:54, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I hadn't realised that a second edit had even been performed until the page refreshed. Upon trying to correct that, I hit yet another edit conflict... you. My point of all this, is that there are times (like this) when a two or three second pause works wonders.  -- WikHead (talk) 07:03, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I believe around a minute had passed, I assumed that seeing as you were using huggle you may have gone on to the next diff on your patrols. My apologies for jumping the gun, but in the end everything was exactly as you intended anyway, right? --§Pumpmeup 13:44, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

No, I do not use Huggle. Tried it once, many moons ago, and quickly decided it wasn't for me. Getting back on topic however, I feel as if something I had been working on was snatched from my hands and mauled over by a trigger-happy reverter with a clear assumption that I was incapable of dealing with the situation myself. I was deliberately cut off and robbed of the opportunity to make my own edit right. In the real world, we'd call that "rude". I'm not one to remain insulted forever, but some people are... so please slow down a bit, take a deep breath, pay closer attention to the time-stamps, and don't be quite so hasty to cut off and overpower other contributors in mid-edit. Apologies accepted. Happy editing.  -- WikHead (talk) 16:41, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Not Nice

This wasn't nice and wasn't necessary. I'm sure you must know about policy regarding personal attacks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 13:17, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

The user making multiple purposeful disruptive edits, including fraudulent edit summaries, was blocked. There are no personal attacks in my comment, I asked the question in jest, responding to that user's comments (including the section heading) that were originally posted to my talk page in good humour. I wouldn't feel attacked if someone questioned my mental health, I would feel like they asked a question. Don't take things so seriously! --§Pumpmeup 13:35, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Revertation

Thanks for the revertation. IP addresses do that to me sometimes... anyway, thanks. Rory ^{What did I do wrong?} 10:58, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

You may wish to participate

User:Wuhwuzdat has made a very WP:Pointy deletion nomination of List of management consulting firms after two of his wholesale deletions of article content were reverted and explained here. Since you participated in the 1st AfD, I am notifying you of the 2nd AfD in the event you wish to participate. --Mike Cline (talk) 18:58, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Please reconsider your wording in AfD discussion

You recently voted in an AfD discussion on the article Green Home. Since your vote, I have significantly rewritten the article. In light of this, I would ask that you reconfigure the wording in your vote to be more relevant to the current state of the article, whether that means changing your vote or not. Thank you for your time. Silverseren^C 20:27, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
