Pitheciidae#Characteristics has such a reference you can use as a guide.

Springsteen song articles
I see that you're creating a bunch of articles for Springsteen songs. Please note that per WP:SONGS and WP:Notability (music), not all songs warrant articles, and there are many admins and editors out there who will try to delete them. Singles will survive, so "Fade Away" is okay, but run-of-the-mill album tracks like "Ramrod" probably will not. Only album tracks that are especially notable or famous or an example of his work will be viewed as warranting articles, so for example "The River" will be okay. But obscurities like "Be True" are likely to get junked. Just want to keep you from doing work that gets lost ... Wasted Time R (talk) 15:06, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Why not Louis, Jr, 2006 for the authority? Look at sportive lemur's ** note. He's the primary author. - UtherSRG (talk) 01:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

marsupial lion
In regards to "nor are many going to be aware that Marsupial Lion and Marsupial lion are necessarily two different things", but they are not two different things. As of yet everyone has failed to defend the keeping of marsupial lion as a redirect to "Thylacoleonidae". They always defend it by saying "marsupial lions" which I have already pointed out is already redirected to it, or as Uther said "marsupial lion family". There are not other species deserving the common name "Marsupial Lion", T.carnifex is the largest species of the so called "marsupial lions" and is the most deserving of the name. In fact if it were not for this species I doubt the common name "marsupial lions" would have even come about to describe the family. By the way, I am curious to find out exactly how you came about this page? Cazique (talk) 05:49, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Baseball Newsletter
The Baseball WikiProject Newsletter | |
This month's newsletter was designed and written by Wizardman, jj137, and Blackngold29. If you would like to contribute to future newsletters, please contact the Baseball WP outreach dept. |
Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, "The Greatest Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did. In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Blackngold29 |

citations
I've just had a look at some of the nice contributions you've made recently to wiki. A small note on citations. While it obviously is possible, in general people don't write the entire citation if used more than once in an article. If having written the entire citations once, you can avoid doing it again by using the first part of the original citation with an /. For example, this is an example of a complete citation, and this is the short form that can be used afterwards (difference visible in edit mode). Certainly not a major issue, but it makes it a bit easier for later editors to check and read in the edit mode. Rabo3 (talk) 20:00, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

recent edits
Aw gee... they can't all be asses... some of them must be halfway decent. ;) Good job! :) - UtherSRG (talk) 19:03, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! I hope my "s" key wasn't sticking too often when I typed that. :) I was trying to get us down to only 2 pages of unassessed articles, and I think I succeeded for now. In some cases there were articles with quite a bit of information but few citations. I usually made those "start", but maybe the new "C" is more appropriate. But I don't think we have approved use fo teh C rating in the Primate project. Rlendog (talk) 22:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Bruce Springsteen discography
Billboard's Rock Tracks chart started March 21, 1981 so it missed out on the tracks from The River that got the most airplay like "Hungry Heart" and "The River" but reflects the second tier of tracks that were getting airplay in early '81. I'm using Joel Whitburn's Rock Tracks book as my source. For some reason Billboard's online archive is incomplete prior to 1984 (even if you have a subscription). I don't see "Jersey Girl" listed but I'm sure it got airplay in some cities. Piriczki (talk) 01:50, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- I just came across this discussion but here: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:jifpxqr5ldae~T51. This is from allmusic which has all the american chart positions from the 60s, pop singles is now known as Billboard Hot 100. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 09:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link. Ironically, I have been to the allmusic site a lot and never noticed that folder. Rlendog (talk) 00:57, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Rock music WikiProject
I'd like to invite you to join the newly-formed Rock music WikiProject. There's alot of Rock-related articles on Misplaced Pages that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this project off the ground and a few Rock music pages into the front ranks of Misplaced Pages articles. Thanks! --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 09:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Sure. I didn't see a sign up area, but consider me part of the team! Rlendog (talk) 03:52, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Good, here Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Rock music/Members, this is where you sign. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 13:15, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, and another thing when you add the WPRock template you should assese thea article. We have to many unassessed articles. Take a look at the Category:Unassessed Rock music articles. I noticed this when i assessed those Bruce Springsteen studio albums. But its good that you added those WPRock templates so keep up your good work on wikipedia. :] --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 13:46, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Are there formal assessment criteria (especially for importance)? Rlendog (talk) 17:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well for a artist or album to be importent you need to look at sales, importance in music culture and so on. Its not hard, but Springsteens newest studio album is a mid, why, well cause of its sales and it didn't produce a hit single of any kind.
If you didn't get it just say so. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 18:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
The four different importance levels. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 18:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

- Mid

- Great job on assessing those articles, thanks. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 18:56, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
DYK hooks
Rlendog, I left a couple notes at DYK regarding the Jillian Clare & Common Brown Lemur articles you nominated. Any questions, let me know. Mitico (talk) 13:20, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- I 'yes ticked" the Lemur article. The taxonomy is interesting, but I think you are right about it being too difficult/technical to explain in a dyk hook. For the Jillian Clare article, per Art Lapella's description - I think changing the list of awards noms to prose will suffice. I'll keep a watch out and green tick then. Thanks.

Fish-related suggestions in AFC.
Hi there, I see you're part of Wikiproject:Fishes, and I also see that you're one of the most recently-active participants in the project. In that case, you may be able to help me here. In AFC, there has been two suggestions given for types of Cardinalfish. The problem is, that I'm not sure if the common names for the two species are widely-used common names or just names used by the website. Therefore, I'm not sure if these articles are suitable for creation, or should be part of a genus article, or even the Cardinalfish page itself. I have a copy of the two submissions on one of my sandboxes, here: Would you please look them over, and tell me what you think? Thanks! Mess around with the guy in shades all you like - don't mess around with the girl in gloves! (talk) 07:43, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
