I assume you didn't appreciate my copying your whole id, so you editted much of it out. Still, leaving the commas in... that's just silly. :-D - Denimadept (talk)

WP:HAU

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Misplaced Pages:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 18:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

"too long" tag on Somerset Towers

Hi, you placed a "too long" tag on Somerset Towers. I've started a discussion on the articles talk page to see if others agree and what could be split out - perhaps you'd be kind enough to visit and contribute to the discussion?— Rod 18:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me

Just wanted to say thanks for your quick response to my helpme. I've discussed the article with the user and all is good. »xytram« talk 15:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

re: Hot100Brasil

Waaaah there are so many!!!! Can't we just wave a wand or say "abracadabra" or something? - eo (talk) 18:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, p.s. we can't forget these lovelies laid out in the "categories" section:

• Hot 100 Songs & Tracks
• Top 30 CDs Sales
• Top 20 Musical DVDs
• Hot 30 Dance Club Play - eo (talk) 18:26, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Expand tag on Encyclopedia Dramatica

Hi. I noticed that you added an "expand" tag to the ED article. Do we really want to encourage people to expand the article? ideally, we do, but right now I think that the article includes all the sourced content that it's going to get from the sources citing ED which have been published, and any content that isn't sourced is being swiftly removed. For example, I put what is supposedly the site creator's real name (Sherrod Degrippo) in the article without a source, but this was quickly removed. So until further sources are published mentioning ED, I'm not sure if we need to be encouraging editors to expand upon it.--Urban Rose 20:05, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello!

I saw your message on Zeke's talk page, so I wondered to see what you've done here. I was looking at some of the pages you created, and, for example, I have been to the Lansing Mall and Meridian Mall (Michigan) malls. That's interesting. Cheers --  ✰AmericanEagle  23:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Japanese alias & ARC

I have edited that Japanese alias article, split the 'how-to' stuff into a non-WP article, and put the Alien registration card info into a separate WP article. I have applied for a peer review. If you would like to contribute to either article, please do so. If you need to discuss the article, pleased do it on the article discussion page, and not my talk page. Thanks.--Mak Allen (talk) 02:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Japanese alias: I'm curious as to why you asked me for help on this page. I don't remember ever doing anything with it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 10:25, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

That's right, now that I recall, you just gave me some general guidance on my talk page about eliminating 'how to' content. Perhaps you never even saw the article. In any case, if you are not too busy, you may want to take a look and critique whether I have followed your advice. Thanks again.--Mak Allen (talk) 10:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing the HTML on the Katara article!

Better Get to Livin'

Would you be interested in giving your two cents based on the discussion Kaldari and I have had on that article's AFD? Spell4yr (talk) 17:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply. I use your viewpoints typically as my country music barometer, so if the article's good enough for you, while it's still not good enough for me I'm rescinding my vote. Spell4yr (talk) 17:58, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Where I Belong

You could certainly change the article to one about the album as long as it's notability itself. How the disambiguation is handled would depend entirely on how popular both are. A decision would have to be made on what is the most likely intention of a search for that term, the beach boys song or the country album. --neon white talk 21:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Karen Brooks

I have never asked you about anything, but I have seen you contribute to many Country singers' articles and their singles charts. Do you know if could add the rest of 80s Country singer, Karen Brooks' singles. I only have one, "Fakin' Love", but I am curious if you know her chart postions and could add them. I just created her article today. It would be a great benefit to her article. Thanks for your time. Dottiewest1fan (talk) 01:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok great, I'll aske one of them. Dottiewest1fan (talk) 15:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Mabbit IRC

Hello. I know you usually go to mabbit IRC. I can't seem to go there. There's a new formstting on the main page which just makes in confusing. Do you think you can show me how to enter IRC through Mabbit? --RyRy5 (talk) 02:15, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Then I guess you don't use it. Well, can you try to figure the fomatting out anyway? Mibbit is located here.--RyRy5 (talk) 02:18, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Your post to SirFozzie

If any question remains, I'll be glad to forward you my complete correspondence with Dzonatas as verification that he has harassed me and that my behavior toward him has been completely appropriate. Durova 09:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Frank everes

Doh, didn't notice that the article had been hijacked there. As a stub I would have easily voted keep at the AFD. Guess that'll teach me not to check the history next time! Benon (talk) 21:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Some Things Never Change (disambiguation)

Some Things Never Change (disambiguation) got zapped. I added the appropriate hat-notes to Some Things Never Change and Greatest Hits (Sara Evans album), as well as adding comments to Talk:Greatest Hits (Sara Evans album) and the talk for the redirect Some Things Never Change (Sara Evans song). I also fixed up the redirect Some Things Never Change (song). As soon as someone decides that Sara Evans's song was notable since it ranked 26th, there will need to be some movement. Some Things Never Change (song) will probably have to be moved to Some Things Never Change (Supertramp song) and Some Things Never Change (song) repointed to Some Things Never Change (Sara Evans song). Of course, if anyone writes a best-selling book with that name, the (disambiguation) page will be back. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:20, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

We should probably talk about this

Because it could, potentially, result in the deletion of literally dozens of articles I've worked on. Has there been some sort of movement to strip charting albums from the kinds of things we look for in determining notability? That worries me terribly, because charting an album is no mean feat, even on the satellite genre-specific charts, and is really an ironclad indicator of a group's widespread popularity. What do you think about this? I'd like to have an honest talk about it before it turns into an AfD battle. I'm so sick of fighting with people over notability issues here. Chubbles (talk) 19:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The album charts are keyed to a reliable source and are consistent with WP:V. Album and single charts are published by the same people, so I don't see why they ought to be treated differently.

If you'll forgive me for philosophizing a bit on your talk page, what depresses me here is that the fact that the albums charted is a clear indication that a lot of people care about this music, that it has a legitimate claim to permanence, and yet I still can't find a soul who agrees with me that it should be here. (For what it's worth, I wish you cared as much about underground hip-hop as you do about country and Americana, because then we'd have a ton more decent articles about it.) We have moved far beyond scuttling the bar bands and self-promotional garbage that used to be (and, of course, still are, in part) the main targets of AfD and A7, and are pinging off, at an alarming rate, groups which achieved significant, even if brief, levels of exposure. (And the briefness, of course, isn't an argument against permanence; any one-hit wonder ought to be covered here just as much as a regular hitmaker...right?) I've written a ton of articles on bands simply because they charted, and I don't write articles I don't think aren't going to be here in 50 years. If the wind is blowing the other way, I want to know as soon as possible so I stop wasting my time.

I don't know. I just wish my interactions with people here consisted of more than just angry disputes over the inherent worth of popular music. Chubbles (talk) 20:20, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Charts

Since you voted in Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Hot100Brasil, can you give your opinion about Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/United World Chart? Tosqueira (talk) 21:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Why - Allegations of Israeli Apartheid?

I know I'm doing it wrong, but I'm asking another user to help me. I had trouble using the right pages as the article was nominated before (which an overwhelming delete support). I don't understand why wikipedia is hosting a propaganda piece that is FAR from neutral. No one has made an attempt to clean it up (it's kinda hard to considering the source material) which is why I feel it is a strong candidate for deletion. Wikifan12345 (talk) 22:24, 8 June 2008 (UTC)thanks for any help!

The sources are FAR from reliable, as demonstrated by the overwhelming support for its deletion. It draws from highly biased sources (like Uri Avnery) throughout the article. It's politically motivated and not right for wikipedia. You wouldn't find this in any Encyclopedia. Now, if you can find some people who are willing to correct the article, then fine. But until then, it needs to go.

Wikifan12345 (talk) 22:44, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I disagree

I disagree. The article has been around for more than a year, has gone through several nomination proceeses, and yet still fails to deliver the political balance (a.k.a neutrality) necessary to be hosted on wikipedia. I've tried taking a stab at editing, but the source material is just too hard to work with. It would take a total re-write to fix. The last deletion process had an overwhelming majority for DELETE, yet it still remains. I'm not familiar with the process but I'm sure there was a good reason why it stayed...but that was in 2007. Anyways, I, and many others would like to see the article gone. Propaganda is not something that should be on wikipedia. I hope that you agree. thanks for the fast response! Wikifan12345 (talk) 01:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I've been editing for more than 6 months (fixing typos, helping stubs, etc..). It's only recently that I've registered a name. I'm honestly shocked that this article is being allocated bandwith. It's insulting. Propaganda should never be part of an encyclopedia like wikipedia. You would never find that article in britannica. Wikifan12345 (talk) 01:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I've done that. This all boils down to keeping a propaganda piece, or deleting it. Yes there is potential to clean, but so far no one has made an attempt. And I can't do because I'm not neutral. And I know the original authors weren't either. This article was started with bias and has ended in bias. I can't think of any reasons why it should stay other than the possibility of cleaning it, which isn't going to happen any time soon. So, if you can find someone who is willing to clean it, please let me know. For now I will continue my search to get rid of this article. Wikifan12345 (talk) 01:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

IMAGES

Ten, I'm assuming you answered the private e-mail on my user talk because you want members to discuss the issue as the Democratic principles of Misplaced Pages encourage. When other images were uploaded, not to the article, they were deleted within 5 minutes so no other users could offer an opinion. I know your opinion, but I have not seen anyone else weigh in except the WikipediA Administrator who posted the images already in the Article with the tag he deemed appropriate. He has been away for a while now, and not knowing how to post thumbnails myself, they won't be until the members decide by discussion.

Private e-mail: "After the deep shit I got in uploading those last images, I don't want to do that again. I'm attaching two images I would like you to examine closely. I believe they can be posted to the article with this tag: http://en.wikipedia.org/Template:Non-free_historic_image. If you agree, you would make me so happy to check the article and see them posted as thumbs in a spot you think best. Please!"

Since Misplaced Pages users cannot see the scans for the discussion, I trust they are astute enough, in reading the article to decide whether the images related to references 5, 6 & 8 should be seen to add understanding and perspective to the reader. By going to history a user can see for themselves the images and tag removed by the image removal bot.

Favor?

I know this isn't a REALLY good thing.. but I am just shy.. mind replying to something again?.. thanks :). --BigOz22 (talk) 18:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

One Flew South

Looks much better. When it comes to bands on CSD, my policy is, if it has any links at all beyond their own homepage and a myspace, then I won't touch it. The old version didn't even have that much. --Golbez (talk) 19:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for helping me with my issue. I have left notices for all parties to please edit in good faith. However, after watching some of the famous Skeptics (From the Skeptical Inquirer) at the university I use to attend, I do not think they are capable of editing in good faith.

Thank you

AfDs

Hello Bobby! How are you? I think you are doing a very good job on AfDs. Keep up the good work. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:40, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Bobby, can I nominate you for adminship after few months? I think you deserve to be an admin. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I think you should wait until September. I will support your RfA. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Gaza beach blast (2006)

Hi Hammer,

You may not have noticed it, but the edit you just reverted is being discussed on the talk page of the article itself. The sourced info I supposedly removed is present further in the text. As the Israeli-Palestinian articles are subject to Misplaced Pages:General sanctions, I would ask that you self-revert to avoid anything that looks like an edit-war.

After having a look at your edit history, I am somewhat curious as to how you happened on the Gaza beach blast (2006) article... Could you care to enlighten me?

Cheers and thanks, pedrito - talk - 10.06.2008 15:13
