:This is just my personal opinion, but I think that you need to start using a more conservative criteria for who is missing and who is not. For example, some who hasn't edited in a few weeks and has left no goodbye message may not be "missing" but may be on vacation or has had ] interfere with their participation on the Misplaced Pages. For another example, those editors who have been permanently banned from the Misplaced Pages are not "missing" and should probably be put in a separate section or even on a separate page (I think there is already a list of banned users somewhere—perhaps connected to ] or ]).

:If you really want to look for missing Wikipedians, a good place to start might be to look at some of the ] that have turned inactive. I am sure that you will probably find quite a few Wikipedians among the listed participants that will show significant contributions to the Misplaced Pages (<2,000 edits would be my criteria), but who are no longer editing at all, and are not listed on the Missing Misplaced Pages page. You might also look through the various WikiProject edit summaries (as well as the edit summaries for the various Regional Notice Boards) looking for people who have removed themselves from the lists of participants.

:Another place that you might look is at very old RFCs. I have a strong feeling that it shouldn't be too hard to find missing Wikipedians among both those who have had RFCs filed against them (but were never banned), plus those who have filed RFCs (either against other editors, or for article disputes). ]<font color=#2554C7> </font>] 08:24, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

The Calm That Killed the Storm

On a personal note, might I ask why this album was pushed back to September 13, 2005? as you added to the article. -- Riffsyphon1024 22:42, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

The reason why is right here. -- Mike Garcia 01:09, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
Read it, and a funny thing. I have no idea why half the people on the forum site that it links to have to trash the band. Thanks for the link anyway. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:42, May 1, 2005 (UTC)

Infectious Grooves

Greate job...i saw that you posted an album about Infectious Grooves. Cool man !! QUESTION : From where do you take all the information for the albums ? --PET 02:31, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Yes I did! And I have discovered music websites like Allmusic.com, Artistdirect.com, Tower.com and tons of webistes. -- Mike Garcia 04:23, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

artistdirect.com is greate. Thanks. --PET 04:28, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

hey Mike. I have added some albums :) Do you want to check my work ? See my user page. --PET 01:03, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Skin Yard

Please see what I wrote on the talk page of Skin Yard. I worked for a long time on that article, and you may not agree with what I've done, but it is not vandalism, and was done with the intention of improving a stub. If you want the 3 albums to have their own articles then I will not redirect them. If we cannot agree, I hope to have a vote on the matter and find a consensus. Just because you created the article does not mean you "own" it and have the right to revert edits without discussion. All the information from the album articles was moved to the Skin Yard article - and improved to create uniformity. The article is not too long, I just removed the Album Boxes as they were too big. As the band no longer even exists, I doubt there will ever be much to add to the article. --Silversmith 22:15, 6 May 2005 (UTC)


Hello Mike!

Hey Mike, How are you? This is me again, your best friend, you know, from the JP page. I hope everything is all and well with you. I see you're a big album specialist. Maybe you can wikify Priest's albums? That would be a really great help.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

"Grim Reaper", "Joe", or, in other words

AMG Advice

Hey Mike. Short advice, always check more sites for the album released year. It seems that AMG has manny albums with +1 year !! I saw this on several albums. Album 3 from Violent Femmes is released in 1988... conforming the OFFICIAL SITE and Rate Your Music...but stupid AMG has the date at 1989. I just reverted some pages that a user has modified. Doh...this is so anoying. --PET 06:21, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

IMPORTANT

Mike, I sent you an email. Please read it and answer me immediately. Danny 23:04, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Mike. Thanks for your email. I sent you another one with some questions. Please answer them. Thanks. Danny 00:25, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Mike. Another important question for you in email. Danny 00:51, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Mike, please answer my last email. Danny 01:09, 11 May 2005 (UTC)


Music

Do you randomly add albums or you add albums from the band's you like. Cos it seems you...add albums from the bands that i like :) --PET 04:25, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

I just have a good taste of music, man. That's why I've created several albums! -- Mike Garcia 21:52, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Missing Wikipedians

Hi Mike, I've noticed that you've been making additions to Misplaced Pages:Missing Wikipedians. While I have no doubt that you are making these edits in good faith, it seems that there is some disagreement about what users should be included in the list. Please check out the discusstion at Misplaced Pages talk:Missing Wikipedians#Trimming for more details. May I suggest that before you add anything to the list, you should bring it up on the above talk page and discuss whether that user should be included in the main list? Thanks, Deathphoenix 14:17, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

This is just my personal opinion, but I think that you need to start using a more conservative criteria for who is missing and who is not. For example, some who hasn't edited in a few weeks and has left no goodbye message may not be "missing" but may be on vacation or has had real life interfere with their participation on the Misplaced Pages. For another example, those editors who have been permanently banned from the Misplaced Pages are not "missing" and should probably be put in a separate section or even on a separate page (I think there is already a list of banned users somewhere—perhaps connected to WP:RFAR or WP:AN).
If you really want to look for missing Wikipedians, a good place to start might be to look at some of the WikiProjects that have turned inactive. I am sure that you will probably find quite a few Wikipedians among the listed participants that will show significant contributions to the Misplaced Pages (<2,000 edits would be my criteria), but who are no longer editing at all, and are not listed on the Missing Misplaced Pages page. You might also look through the various WikiProject edit summaries (as well as the edit summaries for the various Regional Notice Boards) looking for people who have removed themselves from the lists of participants.
Another place that you might look is at very old RFCs. I have a strong feeling that it shouldn't be too hard to find missing Wikipedians among both those who have had RFCs filed against them (but were never banned), plus those who have filed RFCs (either against other editors, or for article disputes).
