Revision as of 09:37, 14 March 2007

Welcome!

Hello, Egrabczewski, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 06:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Director of audiography

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. In reading the article that you contributed, it does not appear to have a neutral-point-of-view as required by Misplaced Pages policy. Can you please revisit the article and make appropriate changes? Also, it would be best if you could cite sources for the information presented in the article. Thanks! Regards, Accurizer 13:58, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, since the 11 May I've "neutralised" the article somewhat, but I don't think it's worth going too far at getting rid of opinions in this area, so I've added some references to back up the views too. I have yet to find an article that argues that sound is unimportant and so it will be difficult to find a "balanced" counter-argument at present.

Dicdef

I was referring to "dicdef" as lingo for dictionary definition. These are always deleted, unless they are expanded to give more information about how it relates to other things, so that it becomes an encyclopedic article. Regards,ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 06:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I still don't see what's so wroing with a dictionary definition as a stub whilst people get time to fill in the information. We can't just put it all in there in a single day but if you delete the stub then there will be no informaton whatsoever. Doesn't Misplaced Pages have the concept of article evolution?

Filmmaking

I noticed you knew a lot about filmmaking. I had started the "filmmaking paper trail" and saw that you had filled some in, even if unknowingly. Just wanted to say thanks and see if you wanted to fill in any more. Kushboy 00:55, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Regional differences

Thanks for your edits to the filmmaking articles! I gather you're probably a working professional in the industry. However, as one myself, I'd like to remind you that not all places (or even types) of filmmaking have the same procedures, and there are often several common variants in usage. Please keep this in mind in the future when possible and add alternate variants rather than deleting ones unfamiliar to you. Thanks again and look forward to your future work! Also, you may want to consider adding the more "how-to"-type articles to instead of placing them on the Misplaced Pages, where they are at risk of being deleted and/or transwikied (see WP:NOT). Girolamo Savonarola 00:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Also, I've cleaned up, merged, or redirected a lot of your recent edits. Please take care to check that a topic isn't already covered on the site, and try not to split an article into separate pages for sub-sections unless the article has gotten rather large. As an example, there's no need to create a page each for the sticks and board for the clapperboard - the existing article is more than fine to contain all text regarding the matter at the moment. Thanks again! Girolamo Savonarola 01:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

The Movie Making Manual

I just found this over at Wikibooks. I think you'd like to take a look and contribute. Movie Making Manual Kushboy 04:07, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Roll number

the following page failed AFD. It will be posted here in case you want to expand it: Each roll of film is uniquely numbered during film production. This roll number is often written on the clapperboard slate. --Mostly Rainy 02:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Filmmaking

Hey, I decided to finally get together and try to start a WikiProject for Filmmaking. Currently the temporary page is User:Girolamo Savonarola/wikiproject until I have a few more editors - enough to justify making it into a proper Project. Anyhow, just wanted to invite you to participate, and of course offer any comments you may have on the project. Thanks! (PS - don't forget to sign here as well.)

Image tagging for Image:SOGLogo1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SOGLogo1.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Misplaced Pages's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Style notes

Hi. I have a few style tips which may hopefully help with your editing. First, it would be nice if you use an edit summary, so that other people understand what you changed and why. Second, it is good if you use the preview button (and save only when you are ready to save) so that there are not so many history versions. Lastly, it is good to not overlink. Links like appearance and configuration are not helpful, since they lead to disambiguation pages. You should rather visit those pages and select the actual meaning you want. Actually, those words don't need links, Misplaced Pages does not have articles on dictionary definitions (meaning of words), since Misplaced Pages is not a dictionary. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Misplaced Pages there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Contributions to Saxophone

Hello - thanks for contributing to the saxophone article. Please note the following though.

This is an encyclopedia. It's not the right place for you to insert your opinions on what type of facing is good for what type of music. Players have widely differing opinions about this sort of thing - and also, what you're writing is your opinion, not a reference-worthy fact. You need to be able to substantiate anything you add.
If you have dozens of edits to make to the article, that's fine, but please make them all at once rather than making dozens of separate saves. I know you are new to Misplaced Pages but try to make as many edits at a time as you can - hopefully not saving an article more than once or twice a day.
It is really important to use the edit summary box each time you save, explaining what you did. In fact, if you go into "my preferences" at the very top of the screen, you can set a preference so that you will be reminded any time you try to save without providing an edit summary. I would suggest this.

Again, welcome - appreciate your contributions! —SaxTeacher (talk) 22:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. I'm not unaware of the points you raise and I understand your point about "opinions". I do my best not to insert my own viewpoint, and try to stick to published material.

As for putting all my changes into the article in one go - yes, that would be bliss. But, alas, not the way I work. I'm always finding errors. Ever written an academic paper? It's a lot like that for me.

Thanks - Egrabczewski 07:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC))

Given that you prefer to make some changes, then adjust them, multiple times before you are finished, there is a tool in Misplaced Pages that I think will be very helpful to you. This is the "Show preview" button. It is located just to the right of the "Save page" button. The "Show preview" button enables you to see the edits you have made, and then continue editing! Try it out and see. It displays only the section you were editing, shown with your changes - but just below is the edit box so you can alter them before saving.

Personally I never used the "Show preview" button until recently, but now that I have figured out how it works, I use it all the time! I hope this will be helpful to you. —SaxTeacher (talk) 01:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:BenDavis03.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BenDavis03.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Misplaced Pages's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

AfD nomination of Storage model

An editor has nominated Storage model, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Storage model and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. Jayden54Bot 19:47, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

ProD nomination of Frederick Hemke (music professor)

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the stub you created, Frederick Hemke (music professor), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. The reason is: The stub you created duplicates the full article Frederick Hemke which has been around for some time. This satisfies the criteria for deletion in Misplaced Pages's deletion policy.

All contributions are appreciated, but when you wish to create a biographical article in the future, please check first to see if an article exists before creating one under a different name. This could have been avoided by a simple search of Misplaced Pages for the name "Frederick Hemke". Thank you.

You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. —SaxTeacher (talk) 09:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
