Recent change of protocol: I will respond to all posts on your talk page; likewise, if I place a comment on your page, please respond to it here. I will only respond on your page if follow-up on mine has not been reached for three or four days, or if you have already set the opposite pattern in previous correspondence.

You're welcome. :-) --^LaPianísta! 21:51, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome that I sign yours and thank you for signing mine. Hey, do you think you can give me some feedback for an article, like peer review style? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

No thanks needed. :-) Which article do you refer to, by the way; I'd be happy to help. --^LaPianísta! 18:02, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Cool and the article is Survivor Series (2004). I really would appreciate your help. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:17, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Heya!

Sorry I didn't go with your block request, I'm kinda tied up in real life, and unfortunately Wikipedia takes the back seat in these cases.

Anyway, I figure this might be a great time to introduce some really useful Wikipages to you. If you ever see someone who's vandalizing pages and hasn't been blocked, feel free to report them to WP:AIV. That page is staffed with at least a dozen admins at any time, so they should be able to help; just follow the instructions on the page. Try not to report users who haven't vandalized more than 3 times in recent time (for IPs, say the last two hours). Warn the users adequately, and if they keep vandalizing, report them. Severity of vandalism is also a factor, but I trust your judgement. :)

Also, if a page is being attacked by more than a few users, you can try WP:RFPP, which will also help you get a page locked for a while (usually temporarily) so that vandals can't reach it. There are plenty of other pages which you'll probably notice in the header bar at the top of those pages, so feel free to explore. In my opinion, WP:AN and WP:ANI are the most useful; if you ever feel like learning some stuff, reading what's happening on those should be very enlightening.

Anyway, cheers! :) Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :)} 03:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Aww, you're too sweet! ^_^ Thanks, I appreciate the compliments, and I'm happy to help. But how dare you steal my TOC template?!! Just kidding! I got it off a friend's page, who got it off another person's page, so I guess that makes us all thieves (funny, if you think about it Wikipedia is almost like communism except good). Oh, and I figure I may as well keep introducing stuff to you and tell you about IRC. Basically, there are a few channels (see here for a list) devoted to Wikipedia that you can often get instant help at. Of course, be warned that IRC may send your social life into a downwards spiral, haha. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :)} 20:04, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Peer review/Facebook/archive3

Hi, you peer reviewed Facebook a few weeks ago. If you have time, could you please take a second look at the article as it is now and post some comments at the peer review? Please let us know if the comments you posted last time have been addressed or not. I would like to bring the article to FAC soon, so any copyediting help would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 00:05, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Y Done Congrats, Gary, on an enviable article. =) --^LaPianista! 00:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I've addressed your concerns. Please check it again :) Also, if you have time, a copyedit of the article would be useful, so that a second pair of eyes can go through the article. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 19:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to close the PR and submit to FAC. If you've still got time for a copyedit, feel free to do so :) Gary King (talk) 19:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Y Done I only found one thing. Good luck on that FAC! =) --^LaPianista! 23:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sig problem

{{helpme}} This might be minor, but why does my signature disrupt the surrounding space? I'm...more than a little ticked. --^LaPianista! 19:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

It's bigger than normal text, and also has the raised part. They will combine to disrupt the line spacing. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 19:09, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Well...I kinda knew that. I should have asked how to fix it. I've tried shrinking it by 1 pt, but it becomes very, very small. And I'm quite reluctant to change the font face. --^LaPianista! 19:11, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

You just need to remove the size parameters to fix it. However, this shrinks it back to normal size, so will become small, like ^LaPianista!. This does not disrupt the surrunding text, and personally, I feel that it is OK small too, but overall, it's your decision. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 19:17, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Note: the css style of this page modifies the sig, so you will need to preview it in edit mode to see the difference. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 19:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

When you have the time, of course. Thanks for your help with the Macintosh Classic article, BTW. — Wackymacs (talk) 11:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Please review this again when you have the time, several changes made. — Wackymacs (talk ~ edits) 21:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chopin, 1848-1849

Hello again. Hope you are enjoying the nice weather. There has been some editing on the 'Final two years' of Chopin in the past few days, so I should be grateful for you taking a look at the discussion page. Many thanks. Jean de Beaumont (talk) 13:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Echinodermata and Romantics

Hi LP! Thanks immeasurably for the artsfish (my very first). I would have replied earlier, but I am lazy and also preoccupied in The World (macro- and microcosmic). Hardly doing anything WPedic just now. I will be happy to give you a personalised answer to any question, since I have never responded to anything of yours at the ref desk. Here is a voucher:

(Pardon my parchment. Clean out of recycled paper.) And here are questions for you: Do you agree that Chopin's Prélude in C♯ minor, opus 45 (the only one with its own opus number), is the most beautiful thing in creation? Well, equal third best, I mean. Why is it not played more often, and celebrated more by the angels?

I'll scrutinise your page. More soon.

[edit] Can you copyedit 2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra?

To be frank I had approached another user before but due other commitments the user (user:Finetooth) politely declined. However she gave me link WP:PRV and thats how I reached here. 2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra is written in Indian English (uses British variants) however thats not a major concern I guess. KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 09:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey! Get well soon! No problem! In the meantime I can manage copyediting by myself! Heres chicken soup for you all the way from Columbia!KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 06:25, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback

I have granted you rollback as you requested, I doubt there will be any problems with you :). You should read over WP:RBK, to make sure you are clear in your understanding of when, and when not, to use rollback. Additionally, you mentioned you were using Lupin's tool, which is a nice tool, but I would strongly recommend you try out Huggle, which is without a doubt the best anti-vandalism tool out there, especially now that you have rollback. If you find you prefer a browser based solution, Twinkle is another option, for Firefox users. Let me know if you need anything, and enjoy 'rollbacking'! Prodego ^talk 19:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

How 'r' u doin? Chubbennaitor 20:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Nothing much. Elections but I'm not bothered about that. Rollback? What is the cake for? Chubbennaitor 15:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh yes. I was lonely when I posted that and I was working my socks off on the Newsletter. I was the only one with Diniz doing the rare 'copyedit'- his phrase. PHEW it's still hard work but one thing has been taken off my back. Chubbennaitor 20:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

It's superb. No rain which is always good and a strong breeze with a just right heated son. Chubbennaitor 07:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyediting help?

Hi there, I saw you listed at Peer Review as a copyeditor. I have Madman Muntz up for FA review and was wondering if you have the time and inclination, if you'd mind giving it a thorough copyedit? One or two others have worked on it too, but the FA guys seem to think the prose can use work and I'm honestly pretty mindwiped at this point. Thanks! Nobody of Consequence (talk) 00:21, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your help here! You've made good catches and edits. :-) Nobody of Consequence (talk)

[edit] Request for Peer Review help

Thank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog. I have three requests to help this continue.

1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, ...

2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month.

3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_limits. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in.

Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 20:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

• Oh my. Please do not feel guilty - you do what you can and I am sure that all of your contributions are useful - there is this thing called real life too. I just spammed everyone at WP:PRV - was not trying to make you feel bad. Take care of yourself, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Liszt concerto sheets

Hello, the sheets for Piano Concerto No. 1 (Liszt) (2-piano reduction), can be found here, at Piano.ru, as requested here. ALTON .ıl 23:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review request

I saw your name on the peer review list and was so excited that you listed 18th- and 19th-century literature as an interest. I study that area and am busy writing Wikipedia articles in that area. Speaking of, I was wondering whether you had time to review Maurice? It is a children's story by Mary Shelley. I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Awadewit (talk) 02:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit

I'm sorry, you appear to be busy, but I how would you like to copy edit McGill University? It has gone through two peer reviews, has been promoted to GA. And several users, such as (AccuratEdit)(talk) and (The Dover Demon)(talk) and me have contributed a hell lot to this article, particularly AccuratEdit. So, please, take your time and have a quick peek at least at the article. Thanks, --Sunsetsunrise (talk) 12:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Good copyeditors are in high demand

Thanks again for your help on Madman Muntz, which has been promoted to FA! As someone noted above, it looks like you're pretty well buried, but if you have the time and inclination, I was wondering if you'd be willing to work on Steve Dahl? I have it at peer review currently. I'm planning on bringing it to FAC in the near future and would like to have it a bit cleaner than Muntz was when I first submitted it. I'll ask a few others as well, so if you're too busy, no worries. Nobody of Consequence (talk) 06:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
