[edit] About sensomusic Usine

hello, just few comments about Usine,

Usine is a young soft (a year) and has a 2000 users community which increase around 20% each month... How can you decide that it's not a 'notable' soft?

I'm a spammer because I've included a link on max/msp page? If you look at the French version you will see that the page contains around 10 links to related softwares... So on the English version of the article I have only reproduce the same kind of link. If I resume the 'related software' section is allowed in French but not in English? It's not a problem but I didn't know! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sensomusic (talk • contribs) 14:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Also the article has been rewritten to fit to 'wiki spirit'.

  • The problem is that Sensomusic usine has not been written about by any reliable publications, which is where we get most article information from. Please see WP:RS for why reliable sources are necessary for Wikipedia articles. Wickethewok (talk) 22:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

  • That is quite a few, so it may take awhile for me to get a chance to do all of these. If you want them sooner, it might be better to post over at deletion review as temporary/userspace undeletion. Wickethewok (talk) 03:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
I can make a sub page on my user page if that works. Just do them slowly. --Cs california (talk) 12:57, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] requested move

Hey Wicket, slight admin scenario here... I tried to move bassline (dance music) to bassline house earlier, but couldn't since bassline house used to be a redirect to UK garage before the article was created. I moved it to its current title from bassline (music) because that was a bit misleading, but having read several sources while writing the article it seems "bassline house" is widely in use, and "bassline" is just a shortened form, and it does seem to make sense not to have a dab modifier in the article title, though I can't find a guideline in WP:NC to support this... in any case, firstly, would you regard this as a non-controversial move or would you advise taking it to RM? If you don't think it's an issue, could you delete bassline house to make way? Cheers, - Zeibura (Talk) 01:45, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Done. I think its non-controversial. It is indeed preferable to have non-disambiguated pages, which is somewhere in the MoS. Wickethewok (talk) 03:27, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Earnshaw Cook

Updated DYK query On 25 January 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Earnshaw Cook, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Deleted Article

Hi, I was wondering if I could get a copy of the deleted article:

19:25, 6 October 2006 Wickethewok (Talk | contribs) deleted "Quizardry.com"

I'd like to make a new page for this site, but cannot find a summary of why it was deleted. Cheers

Karengpve (talk) 22:42, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

  • The article was deleted because of it was marked as "likely failure of WP:WEB" and was deleted through the WP:PROD process. Additionally, the article read like an advertisement. If you have secondary reliable sources (eg. newspaper/magazine reviews about the site or something like that), then you can create a page on it. If you do not know how, there is a tutorial here: Help:Starting a new page. Wickethewok (talk) 01:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Amidst the Raindrops

Sorry to ask, but I haven't been able to find if you have this song available elsewhere on the net. Can you put me down for a copy of "Amidst the Raindrops" too at capsule7.1@netzero.com ?

I understand it may be something you're saving so if that's the case then that's completely OK. I myself am new to electronic music making, and there are very few electronic songs I desire to save, this being one of them (from what I've heard).

If you have a music account somewhere then a link there would be just as fine,

thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RaceGT (talk • contribs) 10:50, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No longer advertising on Wikipedia

Hi there

I saw Your message and I will obey the rules, my bad, doing that, wasn`t paying attention to much at the main rules, therefore, I have done it because I saw someone from another Trance portal doing it too, but from now I`ll pay more attention and I will act professional.

I appologise for any incovenience.

[edit] House Music Demo.ogg

Hey, can you send me "House Music Demo.ogg" via ICQ (339782340) or e-Mail (d.dinstak@gmx.de). Or say me please, where I can download it. Best wishes, D. Dinstak —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.161.234.108 (talk) 15:28, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Music request

Hey, I heard your sample of "Amidst the Raindrops" in the breakbeat article, and I really liked it! I was wondering if maybe you could send me a copy at popcorn_10110_@hotmail.com ? It would be much appreciated if you could. Thanks in advance. FoxDiamond 21:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deep Crow

I saw your post on Deep Crow's deletion page; I figured if you were worrying, I'd give a reminder that the Deep Crow is actually mentioned at the end of Gabriel's paragraph and has an external link to the second comic (the funny one with the electrician). I'm personally hoping it gets mentioned a third time to give it a position as a minor character. Pylze (talk) 22:53, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Amidst the Raindrops

I really liked your breakbeat sample "Amidst the Raindrops" and I was wondering if you had a full version of the track available somewhere or if you've released other breakbeats. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.253.197.44 (talk) 05:58, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

  • A full digital release of Amidst the Raindrops is forthcoming. If you send me an email using the "E-mail this user" link, I can send you notification when it is released. Wickethewok (talk) 06:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Amidst the Raindrops

I was just glancing through other posts & found that many, like me, have found your "Amidst the Raindrops" tracks to be absolutely wonderful. The music is so heavenly & hypnotic that it simply takes you to another world. Could you please mail me the full length track to my email id @ kaushik.dhar@gmail.com

Since you are into electronic & ambient genre, could you please suggest me some other tracks similar to "Amidst the Raindrops"? Like something in the line of Telefon Tel Aviv's "Fahrenheit Fair Enough" ...where a steady melody is being looped constantly and diverse percussion & beats are thrown to it. Something like your track Amidst the Raindrops.

Thanks & much appreciated.

[edit] Hsing-sing

Hello! :) In 2006, Hsing-sing was apparently proposed for deletion. At the time, there was no suitable page for this article to be redirected to, so you deleted the article. I have created a new page, List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition monsters, which would be a proper destination to merge and/or redirect the article to. I'm wondering if it's possible to restore the original article, and turn it into a redirect, thus preserving the edit history? Thanks!  :) BOZ (talk) 00:20, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, sir!  :) BOZ (talk) 15:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello again! :) Would you also mind restoring the edit history and redirecting Losel and Heway to List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters? Thanks!  :) BOZ (talk) 04:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, once again!  :) BOZ (talk) 03:50, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello again! :) Would you also mind restoring the edit history and redirecting Crucian (Dungeons & Dragons) (which was also delteted d/t PROD) to List of Dungeons & Dragons 3.0 edition monsters, please? Thanks! :) BOZ (talk) 17:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much!  :) BOZ (talk) 18:59, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello again! :) One more time! Would you mind restoring the edit histories and redirecting Grisgol, Joystealer, and Seryulin (all deleted via PROD in Nov 2006) to List of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition monsters, please? Thanks again! :) BOZ (talk) 19:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

  • There ya go. If there are any more, just let me know. Wickethewok (talk) 23:04, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Updating the Lynda Benglis Article

Hello, I am a long time Wikipedia Reader who would like to contribute to the Arts Project. This is my first article I would like to edit. I studied art extensively in school, moving through painting, art history, and finishing in Digital Media. Anyway, I would like to update the page to account for her video work, her current work, and a more nuanced discussion of her role in feminism and art history. I will cite all sources and would like to continue refining some articles, before maybe starting some of my own. My wife and I have a large collection of art scholarship and education, and I would love to share it with the Wikipedia community.

[edit] Still Working on Lynda Benglis Entry

Hey, I just got a copy of Challenging Art: ARTFORUM 1962-1974 by Amy Newman(2000), it contains a pretty extensive and contemporary discussion of Benglis's work as it relates to the Artforum ad. I am setting up a subpage with the changes and additions I would like to make. Would you mind reviewing it before I post it? It is my first edit and it seems like it will be extensive. I hope it is the first of many successful and community involved edits and updates. I put my user page up, check it out.

[edit] BTC deletion

Curious how your 'notable contributions' have nothing to do with webcomics, comics, or internet culture. Yet you consider yourself qualified to deem webcomics 'non-notable'. I could say likewise for several dozen ultra-obscure baseball players, but hey, I don't go parading around like I know everything about everything. Actions like deleting the wiki article on an up-and-coming webcomic such as 'Bigger than Cheeses' only furthers anger and hatred across the internet. BTC doesn't have a fanbase entirely composed of morons so I doubt Wikipedia has copped much flak over this, but still, actions like this have caused flame wars in the past. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.243.195 (talk) 06:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

  • I assume you are referring to the deletion of an article that occurred almost two years ago. If you are actually concerned about this and don't just want to yell at the internet, you are welcome to take a look at WP:V and see that Wikipedia articles should rely on reputable third party sources - at the time I don't believe there were any on this subject. If this has changed, I invite you to either go to deletion review or start a new article which cites reputable, independent sources (the Achewood article for example cites Time and the AV Club as sources). Dozens of other webcomics articles manage to do this, so I see no reason to believe there's a bias. Wickethewok (talk) 17:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
