[edit] Clouds

I know that this band exists and I will help you fight to keep their page. Debaser23 20:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I've cleared the page up a little bit. I will do some more later today when I get the time. Debaser23 09:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] reply to talk page comment

I don't edit or haven't edited the articles in question to any great extent. I simply follow-up that edits are neither vandalism nor shading of Wikipedia policies(which many of your edits did...some did not) Go to WP:POL and read all of WIkipedia's policies with regards to editing and content(pay particular attention to WP:NPOV, WP:CITE, WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:AWW and WP:EL) Your Clouds article survived AfD of which I am glad. It's an interesting little musical tidbit.(article needs renaming though...lose the CAPS) The band are worth name dropping into certain articles...such as the Crysalis article. But, for an example, adding them into the Ten Years After article as one of the other artists signed by Crysalis is "content taboo" or suprefluity. The Ten Years After article is about that band and that band only.(same rule goes for any "third party peacocking" in any articles for that matter) And the clouds external link belongs on the Clouds article only. Be careful wiki-linking...1-2-3 links to a Lotus spreadsheet. If you have any questions regarding Wikipedia Policies don't hesitate to ask. And if you notice any articles that you are working on are frequently vandalised...feel free to prompt me to add them to my wathchlist and I will try to protect them. The bulk of my 18000+ edits on Wikipedia are vandalism reverts. Cheers and take care! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 11:43, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

The article re-name will just create a bunch of "re-direct" links in the articles it appears in. They will still find their way cack to the main article. While in the Clouds article you can use the "What links here" link in your left menu to see all the articles that the Clouds link is used in and, over time, go in and correct them. You can use the AWB bot to change them all at once but that is for more experienced editors.(Good time to look it up though....familiarise yourself with it) Cheers, take care and Seasons Greetings!

Hi Matthew,

I read your kind comments in talk Turin Shroud.

I’m overwhelmed in real-life work and may leave Wikipedia for a little while. I’ll come back but I just wanted to let you know.

[edit] CLOUDS

Unfortuanately "Clouds", understandably, already has an article. We usually chose an alternate name like Clouds (band) or something similar... what would you like it to be named? ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 23:35, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, moved. Mind fixing the links to old page? You can see the list here. Thanks! ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 06:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
No problem! Let me know if you need anything else. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 06:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References, and how they work.

At the bottom of many articles you are likely to find some code like this:

== References ==
<references />

The <reference /> part tells the wiki where the footnotes will show up.

If you want to make a reference, insert <ref>text for the citation</ref> into the body of the text. It will instead be turned into a link, like this: [1].

And your citation will look like this:

  1. ^ text for the citation

I tried to summarize way too much in one little post:) WP:FOOT has a more complete instruction. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 19:39, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Matthew, you may have noticed the dialogue going on about 1-2-3. It's now urgent that some of 1-2-3's music be heard by doubting Thomas, and that other apostle, Mark (certified). Can you do anything about getting that live Marquee track? And perhaps the 'virtual' CD it comes from? Thanks DaveEx 11:29, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Message received and understood Dave. I have a copy of the live Marquee track, and one or two of the others. Will pass them on to Mark via his email address. And thanks for your efforts once again! Matthew.hartington 12:15, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
