I changed the dates for consistency since below the picture there was 1949 and then at the end it was 1949. I did not do it to provide wrong information. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 17:45, 5 January 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== KGCU ==

''Note: I moved this from the article's talk page here, because it's directed at me.''
<sup>'''SHADOWJAMS'''...</sup>
As you may have guessed, I'm a new Misplaced Pages contributor. To be honest, I'm not even sure how to get this to you, but hopefully you'll see it and respond. Hopefully I'll learn the markup mechanics, too.

Thanks for your help on my KGCU redirects. I am retired after a 43 year career in radio, thus my interest in some of the station history sections. You might find this of interest.

http://home.comcast.net/~tjbdx/index.htm

Regarding KGCU...it's something that's about to get lost in the sea of call letter changes...and I feel that since the station was KGCU (without an AM or FM suffix)...that's how it should be referenced. Since the current station in Alaska is an FM operation, it would more properly be listed as KGCU-FM.

This all brings up a question. Does Misplaced Pages have a "similar to" popup list like Google? I don't remember ever seeing one...but it sure would be handy.

You're right about the year of sign on. When I located 1925 (Broadcasting Yearbook - 1969) it didn't sound right...but that's a generally reliable source. Later I found the 1926 date elsewhere, then ran into your note. I have made the appropriate changes.

Anyhow, I worked at KBOM for a brief period in the 1960s, and prior to that at KFYR and KFYR-TV. I also made some additions to their historic content...particularly with a list of 1953-1965 TV personalities on the KFYR-TV page.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to maintain protocol.

Speedy deletion declined: DJ Official

Hello Shadowjams. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of DJ Official, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Signed to a label with an article is a credible assertion of notability for A7. PROD or take to AfD if required. Thank you. GedUK  19:53, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure why I tagged that as it is. I didn't tag it. Eekster did. I just restored the speedy template removed by what the original poster. Shadowjams (talk) 01:20, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

2014 in spaceflight

i am going to remove the prod and do an AFD. Rasputin72 (talk) 04:22, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I'd prefer you don't. Do you have any particular reason? It's a pretty uncontroversial prod and it's been endorsed. Not to mention we're halfway through the prod period. If you need too I guess it's not too late in the game for me to be that bothered, but I just don't think it's necessary to take the time. But if you have reasons go ahead; no hard feelings. Shadowjams (talk) 04:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I already made the move. Feel free to express your opinion at the AFD. Rasputin72 (talk) 04:30, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

How can I help? Shadowjams (talk) 00:14, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually, you have been VERY helpful. Thanks so much for the tips and Wiki instructions. Should I have occasion to be involved with future edits or additions, I feel like I'll be much better prepared.

Thanks again.

No problem. Shadowjams (talk) 05:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Tom Hyde AfD

Perhaps you could read a little more about his accomplishments, and possibly re-consider your position. You said that you based it on his having "not been president of the ACA, just a council." But, he WAS Secretary-general of one of the TWO Recognized WORLD governing bodies. The FICS has been determined to be "notable". And, many times, secretaries-general have more power than presidents.СДжП,ДС 18:09, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I like to keep these discussions on the AfD pages so they're more widely accessible. Thanks. Shadowjams (talk) 20:28, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

why do you revert my edit?

i was only spreading the truth about Botswana, my motherland of all motherlands and telling the truth about the namibians and they blood crunchy thirsty nazi ways, why did you delete my truth? i know it was a little too harsh i just want to spread info on my country Namibia. --KhamaPula (talk) 09:21, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Right. By changing links to "hitler town". Ok. Shadowjams (talk) 09:22, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

i just said that because they were owned by germany which is nazi. im sorry for doing that but i hate namibia. --KhamaPula (talk) 09:24, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

The Nazi's had an unfortunate habit of acquiring quite a few countries for a while there. I gather you think that's a bad thing, so I guess on that point we're getting somewhere. In any case, you're obviously a smart guy (girl?), I would like it if you'd turn your attention towards building up some parts of the encyclopedia. We could use you help. Thanks. Shadowjams (talk) 09:27, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

okay ill be good now. what can i edit. --KhamaPula (talk) 09:29, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Good question. You could try Misplaced Pages:Cleanup, if you go just a little bit down the page there are category listings of pages that have problems. Pick the category you like (cleanup being the most generic), and then have at it. There are way too many. If you've got any questions let me know. I'll throw you one of those welcome templates that have a lot of links on them (if you don't already have one). Shadowjams (talk) 09:33, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Your revisions to Chamber music

Thank you for your minor corrections to Chamber music. Almost all these changes were fine. You did, however, change two things which were direct quotes. Louis Spohr called his quartets "quatuor brillant" and not "brilliant". And Terry Riley really did say "in order to" and not just "to".

In the future, please do not make editorial changes in direct quotes, unless you know that they have been transcribed incorrectly (by checking the original source).

Thanks, --Ravpapa (talk) 10:18, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Nice catch. Thanks. Shadowjams (talk) 10:20, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

The "Data dictionary" page

I just made a minor change to the Data dictionary page, yet, increadibly you backed it out within 30 seconds with the comment: "Reverted addition of dubious unsourced content". The change I made was to say that the "Data dictionary" is commonly also known as a "metadata repository", and, in fact, the metadata page says the same thing. So, in a sense, I was simply cross referencing the two terms.

I find it offensive that you backed out my change so rapidly, withourt a moment's thought - perhaps you have done it via a robot???

My change was so small and so trivial, and self-evident, that I felt there was no need to first enter into a discussion.

On this page you say you are a new contributor. ok so am I. However, I question your expertise on the subject of "Data dictionary" - if you claim to be an expert let me assure you that you have demonstrated you are not, and if you are not an expert then you should not meddle with things you know nothing about.

Finally, I thought that Misplaced Pages welcomes contributions from all people. Luciano Q. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.11.151 (talk) 10:14, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
