Thank you. – Black Falcon (Talk) 17:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
"Mysterious" redirect for Nancy Regan
You mentioned that the link to Nancy Regan, which you expected to identify one individual, ended up elsewhere. The problem was that someone made the Nancy Regan page a redirect (presumably assuming it was a typographical error). If you encounter this type of problem in the future you can "fix" it more appropriately by clicking on the "redirected from" link and editing that (making sure, of course, that pages which should link to the destination location link there directly). For now, since it appears nobody has felt it worth adding information about Nancy Regan to Wikipedia, I am sure your edit is fine. RichardJFoster (talk) 20:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry... I hadn't checked my messages for far too long! Clearly your initial edit was appropriate... I just wasn't sure (from your initial comment) that you were familiar with the redirect mechanism. Sorry for any trouble. :-) RichardJFoster (talk) 15:09, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Hit me back
I replied on Talk:WTF#Newest_addition_as_of_now_.28.3F.29
Should I tell you this here? Still getting used to this wiki thing, even though I've contributed for what, 18 months?
- Thank you for the reply, you did clear up some stuff for me, even dont you don't fully understand it yourself :) Then again, unless there is a written set of rules, anything that a majority of people do has to be considered correct. Oh, and thanks for "showing" me that a colon (":") pushes the line forward one space. I didn't know! Bobber0001 (talk) 18:23, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
engvar
In a recent edit to the page Phish, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. — MusicMaker5376 20:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Definitely not a problem. Traveled (one l) is American; travelled (two ls) is British. Maneuver is American.... I can't even spell it the British way.... Perhaps you should add those to your list.... — MusicMaker5376 20:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Re Rutsey
Thanks for the heads up, I checked a few of the main Rush sites and couldn't confirm it myself, but your link is the first bit of evidence I've seen. Sigh, feel free to add it to the John Rutsey article. I'm not sure how to introduce into the main Rush article though. I suppose just parenthetical. Wisdom89 (T / C) 16:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Queens of the Stone Age Taskforce
I'd like to invite you to join the newly-formed taskforce Queens of the Stone Age|Queens of the Stone Age. There's alot of Queens of the Stone Age-related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this taskforce can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this taskforce off the ground and a few Queens of the Stone Age pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks! --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 10:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi, the sentence:
- For the re-founded see, see Bishop of Lindisfarne (modern) (at Bishop of Lindisfarne (Saxon)
is grammatically correct, as the first see in the sentence is a noun describing an Episcopal see, or an ecclesiastical domain of a bishop. -- roleplayer 23:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your message. How about as an alternative raiding a thesaurus for a synonym for the second see? "Go to", for example? -- roleplayer 19:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Rush portal
Um... why does the Rush portal need a disambiguator? The only reason to use a disambiguator is to distinguish an article from a identically-named article, and there are no other portals named Rush. Portal:Slipknot isn't located at Portal:Slipknot (band). It's not like there's any technical restrictions; it's easy to link back between the articles. Xnux the Echidna 20:29, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
- There's little confusion from the name Portal:Rush, as the articles that link to Portal:Rush make it clear this portal is about the band, not "rushing". Besides, placing a disambiguator everywhere reduces the readability of some articles (for example, we would never have a "List of Rush (band) awards", that's just clunky). I really don't think the moves are that controversial. Xnux the Echidna 20:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
April Wine is a musical group. So it's under the scope of Wikiproject biography which deal with individuals and groups of them. Since at least one member of the group is alive the talk page has to be tagged with a banner warning editors to respect the policy on biographies of living persons. This is standard procedure of Wikipedia for living persons. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:02, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- Now I understand what you meant. I resolved the problem with "listas", caused by other editors' falsely semi-automatic edits. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Rollback
I have 1 granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it 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. –Juliancolton | Talk 04:28, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I noticed you had also edited April Wine, which I knew is another band he was in. :) Yeah, when I see people edit articles I have authored and change things around, I see that as teaching me what to do and what not.

Altered Speedy Deletion rationale: In njilly
Hello WikHead, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have deleted a page you tagged (In njilly) under a criterion different from the one your provided, which was inappropriate or incorrect. CSD criteria are narrow and specific to protect the encyclopedia, and the process is more effective if the correct deletion rationale is supplied. Consider reviewing the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks again! SoWhy 18:48, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
None taken. :)
The current list looks fantastic. The one I deleted was totally empty save for the alphabetical headers. Not to worry; I ain't deleting the current version. :) Thanks very much for letting me know. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 20:43, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
- Will do and don't worry about an edit war. Thanks for the kind words and have a great time! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
It's rather lucky I had a quick look through the contributions of the recent contributors and found the above conversation with PMDrive! I was just seconds away from speedy deleting List of Christian rock bands under WP:CSD#G4; as the problems the article has are identical to those that got it deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Christian rock bands. It's worth noting that PMDrive1061 quite justifiably deleted a mangled and incomplete version that was created at List of Christian Rock Bands (note the caps), but that the destination page that it got moved had also been deleted twice before - see its deletion log. Do you think you can solve the concerns raised? Primarily, the article still seems to be completely redundant to Category:Christian rock groups. Let me know! Thanks :) ~ mazca talk 21:18, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
- OK, thanks for your message. I have deleted it as mentioned; it's a pretty clear candidate for it as it's still completely redundant. Happy editing, here's to finding an article to improve that's not about to get deleted! All the best. ~ mazca talk 22:08, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

PMPT
Jonathanstray is incorrect when he states that the main difference between MPT and PMPT is the shape of the distribution. This is one of two equally important differences; the second being the way risk is measured (downside deviation vs. standard deviation).
In addition, his claim that most of the criticisms that apply to MPT also apply to PMPT is unsupported. If there are specific problems that he is aware of in both domains then he should enumerate them rather than make general, unspecific statements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianmarc (talk • contribs) 00:29, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Luther Strange
I noticed that you attempted to fix the info box on this page a while back. Apparently during the month of November someone completly rewrote the article without any discussion or notice. They delted entire sections and of course changed the info box information as you fixed back. I have restored the edits and placed the article back at the place it was before the November rewrites. I have also noticed the page to move any proposed changes to discussion and seek consensus. I have also placed a notification on the Alabama Project Page. Can you please put this on your watch list and also make a visit to see if there is anything that should be revised in formalities and formatting which might have been jumbled in the restore. If you think this should have been handled differently please feel free to chime in. I do not think the action was vandalism but I do think the editor was seeking to alter the POV.Alabamacross (talk) 22:36, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi WikHead, cheers for coming on board with SER.

Can you tell?
Can you tell me why the V article should be reverted back to yesterday? (At my talk page) Feel free to tell me. I'll (fix) improve. Tuanese (talk) 17:28, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- First, My mind did not mean to vandalize. Because I always here and I also love my "very first" idol. The fact is: I just want to expand the page, it's small (compared to many other albums) - I want it deserves more than that.
- Second, I'm using Firefox in Windows 7, LCD screen. I didn't know that it looked horrible on your computer (no-one said this before) - I'm glad if you can capture your screen and show me how it looked like.
Reason: I saw many newly released albums had tracklist (you can always search), so I just want to upgrade to more modern, more beautiful look of track list.
- Third, every edit is welcomed!
- Thank you once more time for helping me "see the light" :)
- By the way, you can try to listen just a little bit of album, may be you will like her music! Tuanese (talk) 09:00, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I hope this is the right place to asnwer you.
I don't think this page needs a further cleanup. I put a lot of extra links in it just now and a better picture. This article is rewritten a few times already in the past, many people made changes including me. It's objectivly written, with info about this rather well-known singer in Vietnam; not a promotional press letter, in my opinion.
In the past 2 times some fools has screwed the whole page and it took me days to repair it. So I hope you can understand I'm getting a little tired of all those different opinions of all those different people. If somebody really has more info they are welcome to publish it. But in the meantime, please respect my work. I really don't know what to change more at this moment to make it more a wiki.
Anyway, regards and thanx for your concern,
Winfried Povel

Rescue Heroes: The Movie References
Just wondering, what kind of references would the article need? What parts need to be referenced? I'm not sure what parts, so if you could tell me, I would appreciate it. Thanks. Abby 92 (talk) 00:04, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you! Haha I am a fan of Rescue Heroes, and I'm 20. It's not like Barney & Friends since it doesn't have stuff on going to the doctor or anything like that, and it's not like Dora The Explorer since it doesn't say things like "Do You See The Red Ball?" I know from having to babysit for some kids sometimes, and besides, they showed how to put out a Grease Fire in one episode, what Four-Year-Old Would be allowed to do that? Anyway, thanks for telling me why you put the unreferenced tag there, you telling me was a big help. Abby 92 (talk) 13:32, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Notability of individual band members
You recently undid a number of redirects of individual members of the band The Tragically Hip that leave unsourced articles about individuals that contain no information as to how the person is individually notable outside of the context of participation in the band.
The articles have been tagged for a long time. What kind of discussion do you believe is necessary to apply WP:N. Active Banana (talk) 16:31, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
- Whether or not they are members of The Tragically Hip or any other band, the articles on the individual band members must still individually meet the requirements for a stand alone article - i.e. signifigance on their own as recorded by third party sources.Active Banana (talk) 23:34, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

On Conrad Models
Thanks for cleaning up Conrad Models on which I've done the majority of work (for now). The one thing I'm unsure about is citation method recommended. In scholarship and other writing, the general APA method where author is cited with year and page number to references at the end of a work is much easier to follow and interpret than numbered references with ibid, ibid, ibid and more ibid. This way, a work only has to be listed once at the end, it's easier to set up, easier to alter, and one doesn't have to deal with all the linking mechanics of the numbering - and, you HAVE no numbers! It's wonderful. So you commented that there are no citations in the text, but there are - in parentheses by the author's name, which lead one down to the bottom for the complete reference. Your comments on the bottom of my talk page would be welcome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cstevencampbell (talk • contribs) 05:56, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Is there anything else that needs to be done? Please respond on my talk page. Nightofstars (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:07, 11 June 2010 (UTC).
- My sincere gratitude for the lesson you gave me, and the time you took in showing me how to properly cite and build a wiki page. You have shown yourself to be very patient, I can't thank you enough. I certainly have learned from this experience. Take care in all you do.

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:07, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Closing Time
Hey - the discussion is taking place on a user talk page User talk:Y2kcrazyjoker4 along with an admin. Allmusic.com is a reliable source, so you could have simply corrected my disambig mistake instead of reverting the entire thing. BTW, you're welcome to comment on the issue if you want. Thanks. --Yankees76 (talk) 18:57, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
From the Inside Out (album) article
Hey, I was wandering if you can help me change the articles name to just "From the Inside Out". It won't let me do this because it says an article with that title already exists but it doesn't, it just links to the main article, Stan Walker. Can you please help me. Thanks ozurbanmusic (talk)

Hi MWikHead, I have added some references to the page "Here Comes Winter" (see the Wikipedia article/page: Here Comes Winter). Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to increase the article's references or sources. I hope you have a good day.

Edits - Environmental planning
Hi Wikhead
Sorry, I haven't meant to annoy you editing this article. I'm new to Wikipedia editing, so I'm still getting used to the technology and the etiquette.
I'm not sure what I did incorrectly that meant you needed to chnage some of my edits. I'd be grateful if you could enlighten me so I don't keep making the same mistakes and cause you and others unnecessary grief.
Thanks, Declan Declan Palmer (talk) 13:11, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- Cheers Wikhead, thanks for that. I think I've fixed the edit in the Environmental Planning article that was concerned you. I think it was the last external link? Instead of having that as a reference I've turned it into a link to an external site which seems consistent with that section of the article. Is that right? Is it OK now?
- While I've got you, can I ask a question. I've titled my article Transport Integration Acxt 2010 but really I think most people would expect it not to have the year in the heading. Therefore, perhaps it should be just Transport Integration Act. How could I change that easily without making a whole new article?
- Or, is it possible to have any Wikipedia search for the Transport Integration Act simply go to the article that's already been posted? Can that be done?
- I'd be really grateful for your assistance.
- Many thanks, Declan Declan Palmer (talk) 23:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

URBI article
Hey, I discovered the URBI page may not meet the general notability guidelines. I tried to find what was wrong and I really don't understand.
I'm new to Wikipedia editing so please tell me what's wrong with it and how I can improve the page so it gets rid of this label.
Thanks a lot! --Seg (talk) 13:48, 8 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.144.210.105 (talk • contribs) 12:53, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Gilivable
Hello WikHead. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Gilivable to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. WP:CSD#G1 is only meant for the likes of "%^K#**4cX#??%" or "Yaaaaayyyy LOL!!!!!". This is coherent; it fails WP:NAD and WP:V and WP:NFT, but it isn't speediable. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:32, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Hi John. Since tagging that article, I've looked up and down the speedy criteria list in search of something more appropriate, and had almost declined my own speedy a few times, simply because nothing seemed to be a perfect match. I don't believe the article was created with the intent to vandalise... and because there's no such thing as db-silliness or db-goofy, "nonsense" seemed to be the closest word-description I could give. Thanks for the adjustment! -- WikHead (talk) 12:10, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, this is a difficult sort of article, but the speedy criteria are deliberately tightly drawn. I have a few times suggested a new speedy for "blatantly made up one day", but the general view was that unless something is bad enough for hoax (implying intent to deceive) or vandalism (intent to damage the encyclopedia) it should be PRODded. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 13:28, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Our fold
Hello WikHead, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Our fold, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7.

Hi! I appreciate your interest but am just in the process of creating this article. Unfortunately, your tag caused me to lose a large amount of text I was just writing due to edit conflict (it's my fault, I should have saved the changes, but I thpught I should let you know). So, please give me a bit more time to give this article at least a basic form. Best wishes, John Hill (talk) 04:15, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- Similar situation at Premier League of Volleyball of Bosnia and Herzegovina - my own fault, I was correcting the references/ tag situation and making some editing changes as well, so I do appreciate you catching my error but perhaps you could hang on just a little bit longer to allow for idiots like myself who regularly make the same mistake but sometimes forget to Preview. Thanks. Opbeith (talk) 12:40, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

- It seems that it's a javascript problem as the drop downs don't work properly either and I can't click on some of the top tabs as they display under the wiki image - I had to ask someone to add the wikibreak tag to my talkpage for example. Unfortunately these sort of problems only seem to become apparent after the event lol and this was my first revert using the phone I shall def not be using it for any popup edits again
- I am using a Nokia N97 and as it is non native html it cannot properly implement Java or php. I am hoping to get a new motherboard next week so until then I should probably stick to simple edits :-(

Re: December 2010
Thanks for the welcome, although it seems a bit strange since I have been contributing for several years. And you keep referring to Wikipedia as "we" and "our", as if you work there. It's also peculiar that you mention neutrality when I changed a derogatory genre name to a more neutral one. Aikclaes (talk) 18:14, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, you have not addressed the above arguments from me. Instead, you just repeat yourself on my talk page. I have added my arguments on the song's discussion page where the topic of the song's derogatory genre names obviously has been up before. A neutral genre name is more suitable than a derogatory one. If you disagree, please provide an argument. Aikclaes (talk) 18:35, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

'Truth' and self correction
I've just noticed the edit you made to the Truth article. Before you fixed it, it read ...James and Dewey's ideas also ascribe to to repeated testing which is "self-corrective" over time. Nothing wrong with your correction of course, I just like the way your edit demonstrated the very principle which it was describing... ;-)

| I award you this barn-star. Thanks for fixing a link on Tops In Blue. Upon reading your contribs, it appears you are a hard working Wikipedian who does a lot of the tedious and subtle edits that many of us miss (especially me). Further, most of your edits are marked "M" for minor which takes much of the focus off the edit. While your edits may be marked with "M", you're contributions should be marked with "G" for greatly contributed. For the most part, you also don't use automated tools, except the occasional reflinks. Your actions reflect great character and your willingness to work with little or no gratitude, despite actually being given it, speaks volumes about you. v/r - TP 18:08, 10 February 2011 (UTC) |

Thanks for your attention to Stephan's page. I appreciate the notice about possible linkrot, a great word for a problem I've encountered for some time. But I don't think there's much more we can do about this, except for the most recent two or three entries. For all the rest, I've already done extensive research and have cited every available original source in standard form rather than just URL. In cases where there's only a URL, it's either because there was no printed publication, just an online issue (e.g, #13, the NPR interview) or because further citation is impossible to find (e.g. #5, the Village Voice article by Sarah Ferguson. It took me days just to locate Sarah as the writer, and I've attempted to get the data of issue from the Voice archives with no success. The exact date is lost somewhere in history. Nevertheless, it's been quoted so often, for so long, by so many people, that there's no doubt about its authenticity. I'd like to remove the linkrot citation from top of the page. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions. Thanks again. Boztown (talk) 00:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
