[edit] Head's up

Just so's you know, to specify notability you add piping (e.g. Notability|music|date or Notability|companies|date). I fixed your edit at Brooklyn's Don Diva. Peace —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 20:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:RFPP reports

Great job on those three you submitted recently! Keep up the good work, Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 06:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. That's because I had those 3 pages on my watchlist, and they just had a LOT of vandalism on St. Patrick's Day (I thought that day was for good luck!) --Andrewlp1991 (talk) 02:22, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Beijing

Hey Andrewlp1991! I'm currently planning the launch of the WikiProject Beijing, depending on if enough other editors would be interested in such a project. I saw you have edited the main Beijing page recently and therefor might be interested. If you are, please sign: User:Poeloq/WikiProject_Beijing. As I am posting this to quite a few editors, I am not watching your page and would ask you to reply with any comment or questions on my talk page. Cheers, Poeloq (talk) 20:13, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lil Wayne Page

You have removed the "notable names" section from this page. Originally these names where in the Alias section, but were removed because according to Wiki rules for Alias's the artist has to release under them. I felt that these names needed to be mentioned in the page somewhere as most people(including Lil Wayne himself in some songs) refer to him using them. If you don't believe this is the right section for them, where would you suggest they be put? I feel that there has to be some place to put them that we can both agree on. If you could let me know, I would appreciate it. Zad27 (talk) 19:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


Ok, so perhaps putting some of the names in the lead into would work better. I'll try that and see how it goes. Zad27 (talk) 22:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation using popups

It looks like you have popupFixDabs set to true in your monobook.js so there should be links at the bottom of the popup window anytime you point to a link that goes to a disambiguation page.

[edit] Michael Jackson

I thank you for your helpful edits to the michael jackson article, its a rarity that such a thing happens on that article. Realist2 (talk) 00:18, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

He also you seem to know a lot about MJ so you might be interested in this, the Thriller album is being reviewed for GA. The reviewer has said it will pass, all that needs doing is the sources need formatting. We have formatted 100!!!! but there are stll anther 52 left to format, if you want to chip in and help the article reach GA please do. Realist2 (talk) 03:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Homophobia article

Hi, I have to insist that the edit I've made to the homophobia article remain in the article. It's incredibly insulting for the segment that reads "homophobia is a controversial term because of debatable ethical views" to be included if the segment that states that homophobia is prejudice (which it absolutely is) is not included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JuMorris (talk • contribs) 04:02, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MJ

See the MJ FA review. I have responded to your concern. Realist2 (talk) 22:05, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


Ive resolved the 300 hundred thing. I did some reading and my book specifis it at several hundred. He does so much privately there's no direct figure. Are you 100% sure we cant use youtube, there are tons of links where he is congratulated for giving the specific 300 figure. However to keep the peace im prepared to stick with several hundred. Realist2 (talk) 05:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, you voted to support the MJ article going to FA. The article is doing very well, 6 support 2 oppose. However i, and i believe you also, would like to get those who oppose on side. They are requesting additional copy editing which i have started doing. If you could improve the article in any way in this issue, please, please do. Realist2 ('Come Speak To Me') 22:17, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Im sure your aware by now i closed the nomination. It still needs a good copy edit apparently, if you ca help please do, yours. Realist2 ('Come Speak To Me') 05:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup on Southern rap artists

You mind taking a look at some Southern hip hop artists -- DJ Drama, Yo Gotti, Young Buck, P$C (which may be again deleted by now) and Lord T & Eloise for some cleanup and advice on keeping/getting these articles stable and well sourced? I try not to interfere too much with sourced content unless it obviously conflicts with WP:BLP, but the volume of repetitive, nn, redlinked or POV edits makes it difficult to keep up. Flowanda | Talk 02:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Federalist Society

Must you cite to Lyndon LaRouche in this article? You can surely find better sources than EIR and the Huffington Post. Gabriel Duvall (talk) 20:08, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Blog posts are never appropriate for BLP, except for articles about the author of the blog post. Look up Lyndon Larouche for why EIR isn't appropriate. The entire listing is unencyclopedic: as the talk page notes, nearly every American conservative or libertarian attorney in the 21st century is a member of the Federalist Society -- it's like listing the famous members of the District of Columbia bar or the American Bar Association. If you must have a listing, go to the Fed Soc website, it lists the members of each executive committee for each practice group. You can also go by articles written by members that talk about their membership (e.g., Viet Dinh or Eugene Volokh). You can't go by who speaks at events, since the Federalist Society is a debating society, and invites non-members to debate members. Gabriel Duvall (talk) 10:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Preview button

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edit(s) to Conservapedia, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 16:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Dre Image

Oh sorry, i didn't know. It's mis-labelled on flickr, i'll make sure i have a closer look next time! Sillyfolkboy (talk) 04:17, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hidden box fixed

TA DA! Took me a while to figure out what was going on but it appears a sneaky little ":" was a spanner in the works! Sillyfolkboy (talk) 17:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Eminem warrior.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Eminem warrior.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Nice Work

Hi, I just wanna say that I think your work the Dr. Dre article has been great and that you've done well to put the page up for GAN. Also, I've uploaded quite afew samples of Dre's music from N.W.A, The Chronic and 2001, so you could add some of them to the article if you think it would improve the page further. Anyway, Great Work ! - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 13:23, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Dr. Dre

Have to say you're right about not putting the Jerome Young thing in the article. However I have to say i don't think it's coatrack material, rather that I should Stay on topic. Coatrack's a nice essay but I feel a bit insulted by you referring me to it, especially when i only made a suggestion. Try to be more careful with it in future. Thanks. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 18:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I noticed what Guerilla in the Mist said here and i've placed the samples on the Dr. Dre article. If you don't think it's suitable please remove them. Thanks. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 19:49, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Yeah: Sorry to make a dick of myself about the coatrack thing but i'm glad you got what i meant. Recommending a GA pass for the article now. I'll try to get the reference from the book too. It's always much easier to cite books than linking random webpages which will likely disappear. I foresee a time when someone will be going round fixing broken, 10 year old links and linking to the Way Back Machine! More exciting wiki clean up work... Sillyfolkboy (talk) 02:13, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Just want to say thanks for all the work you've put into the Dre article. I'm a big fan of his music myself and it pleases me to see a good article on him. Here's to hoping that Detox is finally released this year! Sillyfolkboy (talk) 01:53, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:E40.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:E40.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, you might be interested in this. Regards, ˉˉanetode╦╩ 04:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Don't worry about it, it took me some time to become acquainted with wiki's myriad of license tags. Rule of thumb for flickr images is that the only licenses that may be uploaded are {{cc-by-2.0}} and {{cc-by-sa-2.0}}. Best of luck to you when you have some more time to waste :) ˉˉanetode╦╩ 04:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Twinkle clarification

Hey, I've noticed your recent edit, where you identified a user's edit as vandalism, through Twinkle. Does it consitute vandalism if he adds certain unsourced information? Or is it something default with Twinkle? Reply on my talk page please. Cheers. σмgнgσмg(talk) 05:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the clarification. σмgнgσмg(talk) 11:26, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Conservapedia

Hi Andrewlp1991 - about the edit on Conservepia, [1] After a short discussion on talk:Coservipedia and some time to think about it you were correct about your edit. If you want to remove it, help yourself. Take care... Dinkytown (talk) 20:03, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
