| Hi, and welcome to the ]! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to rugby union. | |||
| A few features that you might find helpful: | |||
| * Our ] points to most of the useful pages within the project. | |||
| * The ] is updated very frequently. You can if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{tl|WPRU Announcements}} there. | |||
| * Most important discussions take place on the project's ]; it is highly recommended that you . | |||
| * The project has several departments, which handle ], ], and a ]. | |||
| * We have a ] that focus on Fiji related rugby union articles. | |||
| * Our ] has extensive lists of requested articles. | |||
| * We've developed a ] for article structure and content, template use, categorisation, and other issues that you may find useful. | |||
| If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-size:small;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">]</span> 15:31, 15 April 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ] For the ] ] is launching an '''Improvement Drive''' for national rugby union teams; specifically those participating in the Rugby World Cup. | |||
| We need your help! Here is what you can do: | |||
| * Adopt a national rugby union team article and collaborate with other members to improve it. | |||
| * Find, create and upload free images that will help improve these articles. | |||
| * Copy-edit, reference, and expand articles when and where you can. | |||
| * Promote the project and encourage others to join. | |||
| The World Cup is fast approaching and these articles are going to get a lot more hits during the tournament. It would be great if we could have them at a high standard! | |||

| ==Panic! At the Disco Citations== | |||
| Please stop removing citations needed for the articles ] and ], and please stop changing the format for the genre. Now first off you put a citation needed in the "The album is split in two, with tracks 1 through 7 featuring futuristic instruments such as ]s and ]s and tracks 9 through 13 using traditional instruments such as the ] and a ] piano. Track 8 serves as a link between the two halves, beginning with techno-style dance beats before switching to piano." part of the article which doasn't make sense because anyone whos ever heard the album would tell you that's exactly what it does, plus in the reviews they also mentions that this happens. Secondly on the "The album primarily deals with social issues that the band points on through various songs. Topics such as ], ], ], ], and ] are woven throughout the album. Guitarist ] also relates two of the songs to living with his alcoholic father" all you have to do is read the lyrics and it tells you this as well, and for the Ryan's alchoholic father part it tells you in the link that Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks and Camisado are both about Ryan's alchoholic father, or you can ask any serious fan of Panic! At the Disco. Thirdly for the "The first track, "Introduction", contains a sample of what appears to be a radio broadcast in ]. The speaker is saying "''...spotkało się z szerokim rozgłosem''", which means "''...gained significant popularity." part I speak Polish and have also had a friend from Poland state that this is true. We come back to how Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks and Camisado are about Ryan's father again which I've already explained is true. Now the last one that makes me happy is that you say that "Time to Dance" is entirely based on '']." needs a citation when in the link that states all the other songs references and meanings it states the EXACT same thing. So please leave Panic! At the Disco and A Fever You Can't Sweat Out alone when I delete the citations needed yet again otherwise I'll have to report you. ] 19:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ==Speedies== | |||
| Hi, I can't help but notice that a few of your nominations for speedy are inappropriate. Can you please consider either nominating things for AfD instead? It would be great if you could provide me a list of bands you're A7'ing, so I can rewrite/recreate anything that's deleted inappropriately (all too common with bands pages these days). ] (]) 11:29, 26 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :I added the chart hit line for ]; the Allmusic bio was linked at the bottom but nobody had added that information. My problem is, plenty of band articles get speedied unnecessarily, because no one bothers to check whether or not the band is actually notable before they tag it. Remember, what we should be looking for is not the ''current state of the page'', but the ''inherent notability of the subject'' - which was the case for Clare Quilty. Running a Google search or an Allmusic check before nominating a speedy would be a big help, and would probably save a lot of people's hard work from being deleted. Also, if you speedy something and it gets deleted (which can happen in a matter of minutes), I have no way of knowing that, so the edit summary you provide is moot. ] (]) 13:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::Just a note - The fact that AfD takes five days shouldn't dissuade you from using it! Speedies involve only two people and are "hidden" once the article is deleted. AfD's are transparent and allow people to "rescue" articles that deal with notable subject but aren't currently up to snuff. Remember, whatever we delete is potentially of use to someone, and people should be given the chance to prove its worth. ] (]) 13:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :::It's unfortunate that you are so nonchalant about this. Would you be willing to meet me halfway here? You are going through a large number of band articles, which is an area I edit heavily. Could you perhaps provide me a list of articles that look speedy-worthy, as you go through? If you could give me a day or two to go through them and save the salvageable ones, I'd really appreciate it; there's no hurry, and even if there were an extra day doesn't mean much. It would probably result in the betterment of a bunch of notable music articles, and after a day or two you can nuke off the ones that don't meet ]. But once they're gone, they're gone, and I can't even tell they're gone. ] (]) 14:00, 26 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
