[edit] October 2007

Applogies for that, I did revert my edit, though I forgot to remove this warning. You will see by my edit summary (broke link?) that I was not thinking straight, and it was an honest mistake. Please message me via my talk page rather than my userpage in future. Sorry and thankyou. — jacĸrм (talk) 05:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A.S. Roma

Hi there. I noticed you recently added {{GA}} to the Talk page of A.S. Roma. However, it appears you were trying to nominate the article. If so, you have to follow this procedure and wait for someone to review it. Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Sexual Eruption.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Sexual Eruption.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 02:03, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Sexual Eruption.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Sexual Eruption.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:34, 10 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Admc2006 (talk) 17:34, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cashis

Hi Udonknome, the correct title is "Cashis" instead of "Ca$his". The dollar sign is just there for decoration. WP:NAME#Music says to not replicate stylised typography. If you any questions, just leave a message. Thanks. Spellcast (talk) 02:01, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Again, please read the the above link. You've been told what the manual of style is. If you move it back to the incorrect title, you will be blocked. Spellcast (talk) 02:36, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up on 'N Sync. I've moved it back to the correct title. And apologies if I came off harsh with the block warning. Also, I realise no-one has welcomed you yet so...

[edit] Re: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture 8 Mile

Yo homie, I feel you, but soundtracks are named that way almost always. For instance, check out Harry Potter soundtracks, or others. Also the article is also about More Music from 8 Mile so naming the article "Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture 8 Mile" would be just inappropriate.

[edit] Adoption Request

Hello, Udonknome, its flattering that you would ask me to adopt you. Right now I already have a user I have adopted and I am kind of busy. I don't think I can handle a full adoption. However, I would be pleased to be available to you to answer any questions you might have. I'll try to watch your user talk page and say something if need be. Please, always ask any question you wish at my talk page. -JodyB talk 12:14, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 07:34, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Overlinking of ACC

Hi, Udonknome. Per the Manual of Style for disambiguation pages (MOS:DAB#Individual_entries), there should only be one navigable (blue) link per entry and the associated description should be kept to a minimum, just sufficient to allow the reader to find the correct link. So, I have rolled back your last edits to ACC. Best wishes. -Gwguffey (talk) 14:19, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Lost In London

[edit] Eminem is Back

The article was speedied after a brief discussion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Eminem_is_Back_(2nd_nomination). Per WP:MUSIC, "...albums or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines. In general, if the musician... is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability.... Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs and promo-only records are in general not notable; unreleased albums may not yet be notable without substantial coverage from reliable sources."

The article did not assert notability and lacked "substantial coverage from reliable sources." That was the reason for the first deletion.

This deletion was a Speedy G4: "Recreation of deleted material. A copy, by any title, of a page deleted via a deletion discussion, provided the copy is substantially identical to the deleted version and that any changes in the recreated page do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted."

[edit] re: Superbowl XLII

I don't think I'm the one to ask as I only added a very quick fact to the article. I know the talk page is semi-protected, but is it letting you add messages to that? (It probably should as semi-protection usually only blocks edits from editors registered in the last week or so, at least it did when it was first implemented.) That's where I'd go. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Y0u | Y0ur talk page 03:39, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption offer

Hello Udonknowme, I saw that you wanted to be adopted and thought that I might offer myself. I have been on Wikipedia for nearly twelve months, in which I have made over 2,200 edits, created three articles (two of which have been displayed in the 'Did You Know?' section of the Main Page), and improved an article to GA status among other things. How about it? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by HarrisonB (talk • contribs) 08:45, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Blonde jokes

I've removed all the examples, as articles shouldn't be repositories for that sort of stuff. Personally, I think that the subject is notable, given the number of sources about it and also its cultural impact. You can still try an AfD, of course. Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 02:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, you can propose a merge if you'd like to find the community's consensus. Personally, I'm not sure whether they should be merged since the jokes article is well-sourced and there are probably more sources lying around. However, I'm only one editor; getting the opinion of many is always good. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 01:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mentorship Offer

Hello, Udonknome. I would like to mentor you. It is just like adoption only a different way of experiencing it. I still have over 500 edits, in fact including deleted edits, I have over 2000! I just know that you would like this program! Image:smile.png Nothing444 11:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Typo redirect Stupid lousy raptors

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Stupid lousy raptors, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Stupid lousy raptors is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Stupid lousy raptors, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Your recent edits to Eros Ramazzotti

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Eros Ramazzotti. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Before making potentially controversial edits such as this [1], it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox for test edits. Regards.--Harout72 (talk) 18:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Before tagging me with a statement Clueless, you might want to check the diffs of the article, perhaps then you will be convinced that at least eighty percent has been added by me regardless of who the article was begun by. Regards.--Harout72 (talk) 19:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
What makes you believe that discography section mentions every single chart position of both the albums and singles? Keeping the table serves a detailed information about how well an album or a single has charted in a particular country the reader would be interested in. --Harout72 (talk) 19:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

There is no need to fill the discography section with dozens of chart positions when it could be used for something more essential.Yes we all can contribute, but not delete a whole chunk of info without discussing it, By the way, there is no word Foward in English language. Regards. --Harout72 (talk) 19:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eros Ramazzotti discography

Hi, thanks for discussing and asking for my comments. Everything was looking good to go except for some minor adjustments I made. I don't believe Eros has ever released an album called Adesso tu, his debut album was entitled Cuori Agitati, anyways I adjusted that along with some other things. Thanks again. --Harout72 (talk) 03:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Never mind the "adesso tu" album. I updated it with the right albums and "year blocks". Are you sure about the colours? It's a bit distracting IMO, and it really doesn't work in the singles section. The albums column get all messed up. Udonknome (talk) 15:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, having lines with different colours, in my opinion, seem more identifiable rather than just having everything in white. Yeah, I know, it's not quite the way I would like the album column look either, but let's have it colourful for now, I'll see what I can come up with to get that look proper, there should be something we could do about that.--Harout72 (talk) 00:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I see you have presented a third version as well, which I don't have a problem with except the year-column becomes to look as the album does. That's something we should avoid probably.--Harout72 (talk) 17:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

(««) Hi Udonknome. I also encourage you to change your signature, please, as being told to shut up, in a talk page, is bordering on offensive and personal attack. Check Wikipedia:Username policy#Inappropriate usernames if you are not aware of it. - Nabla (talk) 17:09, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

It's sarcastic. That's the point of the sarcasm. Can't you read the whole expanation above???? --Do you know me?...then SHUT UP!!! Sarcasm is beauty 19:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
It still is quite unhelpful that you end any argument you make by 'telling' others to shut up, in a quite aggressive way. I understand that it is not your intention, I just hope you realize that as someone reads one of your replies, the first impression is quite bad. Please try reading your above reply to me, 'forgetting' that you know what your signature means. You shouted at me to shut up... Again, please, use a more moderate signature. - Nabla (talk) 21:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Speaking as your adopter, I also encourage you to change your signature as others might take offense. RC-0722 247.5/1 21:32, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:No Matter What cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:No Matter What cover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Uhh, kinda stupid notifying me about the deletion since I'm the on that proposed it in the first place!!!!! --Do you know me?...then SHUT UP!!! Sarcasm is beauty 14:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
It's bot. Reply to one here isn't very useful. Anyway, I believe this particular bot gives the users image warnings when they haven't received one, or when the bot nominates it for deletion. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 21:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Italian Empire

Hello... I left a mesage for you at Talk:Italian Empire. Please note that the present map (for the map was actually changed, I did not just "remove the references and change the date") is a work of original research and not actually backed up by any of the "reliable" references provided. The editor that uploaded the map has a history of creating these maps, we had a long-running discussion with him at Talk:Dutch Empire. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 13:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh that, I usuallly ignore that. xp Alright, no problem, I'll include an edit summary now. -- -- Tri-Edge (talk) 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Italian Empire

Hello. Whilst I may have messed up with the move (but relatively easily fixable, it seems), I don't apologise for my WP:BOLD editing, one does not need consensus to be bold. The article in its prior state was an absolute mess [3] of unsourced and often duplicated material. It is now [4] at least on its way to being a proper, sourced, article on Italian colonialism, to complement that on the British Empire, Portuguese Empire, Dutch Empire and Spanish Empire. Please correct me if I am wrong, but you seem to be suggesting more than a history merge: you seem to be suggesting [5] that my edits should be reverted. As someone who is primarily concerned in improving the European empire articles series, I'd be interested to know why you feel that would be justified. I recently took an axe to the Dutch Empire article too, and took the article from this abomination [6] to, with the help of some other like minded editors, this respectable state [7]. As for why the move, Mussolini declared the "Italian Empire" in 1936. As Italy had colonies for fifty years prior, the article really needed a name that reflected that. Anyway, please read the new state of the article before jumping to any conclusions! The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 01:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

OK. So I rectified my move by doing the following. What existed at Italian Empire was moved, pre-my-edits, to Evolution of the Italian Empire. The Italian Colonial Empire article now contains my edits, which are basically a new article. At least that way the histories are preserved better. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 02:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Almost vandalism"

Do NOT accuse me of vandalism, when you know perfectly well that what I am doing is not vandalism. I have requested an apology from you on my talk page. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 02:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I strongly urge you to remove that tag ASAP before someone potentially comes in and makes the situation worse by messing up an edit history merge. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 03:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Long or offensive user names and signatures

Hello. I believe wikipedia doesn't allow long or offensive user names or signatures. Please see Wikipedia:Signatures and Wikipedia:Username policy. --Timeshifter (talk) 02:07, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. Do you? yes...|or no · 00:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Would it really be a sacrifice to sign your name with your name? Even as revised, your sig code is too long (based on the amount of code it uses, not just the displayed length). -- Rob C. alias Alarob 19:46, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

He seems to have changed it to something smaller, so at the moment (since there is not user named "Do you" or "Do you?") I think his sig is fine. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 19:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree with both. It is now an acceptable sig, as it is no longer offensive, although it would be better to use something similar to the username.- Nabla (talk) 01:17, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Is this similar enough? Do yo (knome)? yes...|or no · 11:24, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
