[edit] Quotes around song titles

Hey Slabba. I've seen that you've made some edits over at Powderfinger and they're all really good, but oen of the general things that the pages do is put song titles into quotation marks (which I noticed you removed) and album titles in italics. It's actually a bit of a rule (you can read the guidelines at WP:MOS which is Wikipedia's Manual of Style). Personally, I think it looks a bit wanky, but in feeping with general improvement and alignment with the standardisation here, I'm going to put the quotes back in. Welcome to our wikiproject. --lincalinca 09:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey Linca, yeah not a problem, it does seem like a strange standard though :-) I'll go through the MOS when I've got some free time. I've been pretty busy lately so I'll try and contribute to the project when I can. Slabba 23:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Powderfinger Collaboration

You may have noticed that the project recently began its first collaboration, and this is just a friendly reminder that we would love your help in bringing Dream Days at the Hotel Existence to the highest possible standard. Hope to see some great editing! G1ggy! 01:20, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Since I can't email you....

Hey Slabba. I was trying to email you to ask if you have any IM programs (MSN, Google Talk, etc.)...I'm bored, and in the mood for a chat. But you've disabled email, so I thought I'd ask here. So, yeah, if you like, you can reply on my talk page. Happy editing! G1ggy! Review me! 04:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Are you kidding? Your edits are awesomely useful! Keep up the good work =D G1ggy! Review me! 03:48, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, but at least now we know what we have to do to get it up there. Are you going to be working on it now, or do you want to help remove Category:Powderfinger from all of the images in that category (since they should all go in PF albums/songs only). G1ggy! Review me! 04:46, 3 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] New Powderfinger Collaboration

[edit] Reference formatting

Hey Slabba. You have to be the king of formatting refs to be WP:MOS compliant. I was wondering if you could have a look over Crowded House for me, when you have a chance, and {{fact}} tag anything you think would need references and also standardise any formatting of references already there? I'd really appreciate it, as references seem to be the biggest thing stopping it from getting to GA (heck, even FA, since it's almost there, really). Thanks mate! --lincalinca 11:47, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey Linca, I'll gladly help out with formatting the refs, but I may not get a chance any time soon. I'm a bit busy at the moment with some other stuff, but when I get some spare time I'll give it a crack. Also cheers for the 'king' comment :-) Slabba 23:31, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks man! No rush, but when you have a few free moments, it'd be great if you could see if you can reference it, even if it's piece by piece. As a plan of attack, if you fact tag everything you see that needs references, I'll provide the references and then once I've done that, if you could then format the refs for consistency, that'd be great! Does that sound feasible? --lincalinca 23:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Yeah that sounds like a good plan, it would save doubling up. Slabba 02:01, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh mighty king, speaking of referencing, AndyZ's peer reviewer (User:AndyZ/peerreviewer) autoformats ref made using external links, and changes them to {{cite web}}. Might come in handy ;) (This is Giggy btw.). Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 08:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Guess what's up for FLC?

Did I need to ask? Casteth your voteth here...eth... lincalinca 04:42, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Slabba!

Haven't seen you around much, of late, so I forgot to leave you a note, saying that Dream Days is at FAC. Powderfinger next - keep up the good work :) Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 05:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Process This

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Process This, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. John 16:20, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Process This

I'm leaning towards removing the prod and going to afd, but I think it'll be deleted there too. What're your thoughts? Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 02:30, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree, we should have a These Days link in the template, and personally I don't see the problem with having links to live albums. You wanna revert, or will I? Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 03:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
RAWR, OK. Will do, then I'll go hide from him and edit my next GA :) Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 03:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I saw those, and I tend to agree. Let them go... Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 03:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
by the way, since you're king of MOS, could you possibly take a look at Young Modern and point out any really major issues. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 04:01, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm doing that now, thanks heaps. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 04:24, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
