Shalom Hello 03:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC) Photography request Hi Daniel. A while back I stumbled across the page about The singing ringing tree in Barnley, in which I also found your very good picture. I am currently writing a conference report for a university in Sweden about sound/landscape. (Its a non-profit publication for free online access in Swedish.) I would like, if possible, to incorporate your picture. So I wanted to ask if this is ok by you, and if so, how would you want to be credited? Thank you and very best wishes from Sweden, Gunnar Cerwén —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ljudplanering (talk • contribs) 12:50, 1 December 2010 (UTC) Zui Quan Welcome to Wikipedia.

Nico 22:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC) IP 216.79.33.77 Thanks for filing the report on 216.79.33.77. I was actually about to do that, when I saw that you had already beat me to the punch, so to speak. Chengwes 14:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC) Edits to 'List of Notable Fencers' Hi Childzy - got your messsage - I re-instated the edits with summary explanation, and full explanation in the discussion page for 'List of Notable Fencers' entry. Thanks for your quick feedback. 216.168.238.7 23:43, 28 August 2007 (UTC) Knight of Fire ...and if you had waited 5 minutes, you would have seen the article. No problem, I just added it again. Thanx for the extra work. /peach —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peach666 (talk • contribs) 15:50, August 29, 2007 (UTC) It is not about waiting 5 minutes, it is about following wikipedia guidelines, I was well within rights to revert your edits, the editing page warns that any red links added will be removed. So please keep civil in future as i am sure that i didn't burden you with any extra work. Thanks and happy editing!--Childzy ¤ Talk 19:30, 29 August 2007 (UTC) Since it was not red for very long (a question of minutes), I regarded the rule as followed but in a dynamic way; when I was done, there would not be any red links in the list. And if you feel threatened and insulted enough by an ironic "thanx" to throw civil at me, there is not much more to say. Happy hunting /peach —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peach666 (talk • contribs) 07:31, August 30, 2007 (UTC) School pc This is a school computer dont block it! Its not me that is vandalizing wikipedia! A saw the new messgaes message and there was a block msg! 200.156.17.1 15:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Dont worry, i cant block you. I had to put up with the same thing when i was at school, the best thing for you to do is create an acount so that if the I.P is blocked you wont be affected, it also distances you from the others --Childzy ¤ Talk 15:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Joe Szwaja Please look at Joe Szwaja if you can again and copyedit? I cleaned up and rewrote all material from the claimed copyvio. thanks. • Lawrence Cohen 17:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Did so, good work cleaning it up. There was very little to fix. What went on with this article before? I was confused, some I.P kept blanking the page, was quite annoying. --Childzy ¤ Talk 22:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC) I have no idea what Peru's issue was, to be honest... he/she kept fighting with people about a copyvio. I saw a few sentences that were lifted from that site so I just rewrote it all to fix it. Peru just kept coming back anyway screaming about copyrights and ended up blocked. • Lawrence Cohen 22:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Well you did well fixing it up and referencing it, as I say i only made a couple of minor changes to it. I'll give it a better copy edit sometime in the near future --Childzy ¤ Talk 22:19, 30 August 2007 (UTC) thanks! • Lawrence Cohen 22:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Childzy, can I get a third opinion on an editing dispute I'm having with another user on both Jean Godden and Joe Szwaja? We're certainly both partisan and I'd like more opinions and involvement of people who don't care about this election. Mikesmash 04:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC) Sure whats the dispute about? --Childzy ¤ Talk 09:24, 1 September 2007 (UTC) Okay I've had a pretty good look at what has been going on. It seems this user [3] is taking issue with some of the things that arent in the article? Saying that some important things are missing. Well i have read the article and sources a bit and the article in no way what so ever fails WP:LIBEL. Everything that is in the article is well sourced and it seems "User:Landsfarthereast" is using the talk pages of article to tell you to do things to the article, dont feel obligied to listen to the guy. Just tell him WP:SOFIXIT, there is nothing stopping the user from editing the page himself. A good thing to remember is not to get stessed, you are a valuable wikipedia, you are getting things done. I left once because it got stressful. Also wikipedia is not cited as being purely factual so if "User:Landsfarthereast" has an issue the tell him/her to read [4] which explains things. If you need any more help with this edit dispute just let me know, i've just tried to outline the basics here. Hope i've been of help --Childzy ¤ Talk 09:52, 1 September 2007 (UTC) Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bayern Munich 1 - 2 Norwich City Hi. You were one of the first to contribute to this AfD. Since then, the debate has been extensive and several users have significantly enhanced the article, demonstrating cited notability (and getting rid of POV). I'd be grateful if you'd review your opinion, as I genuinely believe this to be notable. --Dweller 20:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Thanks for the notice, i'll just have a look --Childzy ¤ Talk 21:56, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Re: Edits to Fallen Hey Huntster, could you jsut clear up why you removed some of the personel listed on the album on this edit [5]? thanks --Childzy ¤ Talk 12:54, 31 August 2007 (UTC) A standard has got to be found for these albums. Some were beginning to list every single credited person on the case, which completely fails our indiscriminate information policy. I'm toning it down the absolute basics. If a better method can be found, fine, but till then I'd suggest leaving it in minimal form. I'm frankly getting sick of the crap that tends to creep into these articles over time, and this is just one part of it. -- Huntster T • @ • C 13:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC) I agree with you there but i did add some more back, such as the drummer, bassist, choir and guest vocals. I think all of them that are now listed did play a recognizable part in the album you agree? --Childzy ¤ Talk 13:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Btw i like how you have set it out on Origin (demo CD) --Childzy ¤ Talk 13:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Thanks, and I sorta-kinda agree with the extra personnel in that regard, to the extent of compromise. However, when we start adding individual names of a choir and programmers and such, it is a sure sign of bloat. The other question is, exactly how are some of these guests notable, other than simply being there? I'm trying to find a middle ground as many people want as much data as can be tossed in, even though I'd strongly prefer having only the primary band members listed...it is really the only unbiased way of proceeding. -- Huntster T • @ • C 15:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Yeah i remember that it once actually listed every member of the choir which is excessive! I think guest vocalists can be considered notable as the usually play a major part in a song. We could come up with some sort of draft guideline to use at WP:Album for whom to include on the personnel section. It may prove handy --Childzy ¤ Talk 15:41, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Certainly, though even background or guest vocalists are a slippery slope. If they are considered vitally important to a song, aren't the directors and producers and compilers vitally important as well? It just seems dangerous, but it'll work for now. Personally, I like guidelines and policies, so any you want to propose over at WP:ALBUM is good with me :P -- Huntster T • @ • C 15:47, 31 August 2007 (UTC) I like guidelines as well really, it just keeps things smart tidy and encyclopedic instead of just being rambling lists of crap that end up appearing. The best thing that happened to the site was the whole thing about removing trivia, I hate trivia sections lol. But yeah I'm sure together we can come up with a basic outline of what should and shouldn't be in personnel sections. Obviously all band members should be listed. Secondly and guest vocalist should be added or are we not sure on this one yet? Thirdly and choir or backing group/singers that make a continued appearance on the album should be included. As for the producer then I'm not sure, if the article has an infobox then its always mentioned there so it needn't be written twice. What do you think? --Childzy ¤ Talk 15:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Linda Gottfredson I see that you were the last edit on this page. I would like to remove the disputed neutrality box. If you have no objections that you would care to discuss, that is.Die4Dixie 16:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Er im not sure what you are asking, the edit i made was purely to revert some vandalism. If you want to remove the neutrality tag just add a section on the pages talk page and see if other uses agree that it is now neutral. Or Be bold and remove the tag anyway =] --Childzy ¤ Talk 17:38, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Re:Talk page comments I notice you also deleted the 1995 civil suit that Szwaja lost in King County. Is that not relevant, either? Or the fact that he was arrested for driving with a suspended license? Also, not relevant? You're unbelievable. Are you getting paid for this?Landsfarthereast 05:38, 1 September 2007 (UTC) [6] Read Wikipedia:General disclaimer we are under no obligation to make sure the article is completely factual, you of course are free to include it in the article (see WP:SOFIXIT) please note though that any unsourced (WP:V) and potentially libellous material that you add will be removed (per Wikipedia:Libel). Also please remain civil when talking to editors. --Childzy ¤ Talk 10:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC) Prod notices I have removed the {{dated prod}} tag from Lab 5 since its deletion has already being contested by an IP editor. I have also struck the warning from the IP editor's talk page as well. Removal of the {{dated prod}} tag from an article is not vandalism and should not be reverted as such unless the IP editor has an edit history that demonstrates a clear history of vandalism. Doing so would be assuming bad faith on the part of the IP editor. Ideally, the IP editor should have given a reason why he or she is contesting the deletion, but such explanations are not necessary. If you still think the article should be deleted, then take it to AfD as the next step in the deletion process. --Farix (Talk) 03:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC) Vrlika Page Thanks for fixing the Vrlika page. The guy is always ruining it and changing it. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kukar (talk • contribs) List of death metal bands Just thought i'd let you know that only bands with wikipedia article's are to go on the list. It keeps things tidy and verifiable so be careful about linking to any bands without article or the edit will be reverted. Thanks --Childzy ¤ Talk 14:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC) Oh Okay, thanks for letting me know :) im new to this so yeah thanks again, but if i put up the articles about them i can put them on the list? as i know far more bands that arnt on that list and i want them to have recongition. METALFREAK04 15:02, 4 September 2007 (UTC) yeah of course, thats what its all about! take a look at WP:MUSIC first, the bands have to be notable etc! --Childzy ¤ Talk 15:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC) Barnstar Thank you! :) • Lawrence Cohen 16:09, 5 September 2007 (UTC) Thank You Thank You for the edits of Government Engineering College,Idukki page -- Joaquim679 18:14, 9 September 2007 (UTC) Comment Wikiholic has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing! Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message. I hate when that happens. It means one less edit for me:( O well. Have a nice day:)--Wikiholic 20:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC) No problem. I feel that it is my duty at wikipedia to make wikipedia a more friendly place. I have said rude things to people on a few occasions, wich I feel sorry for, and I feel that the least I can do is to give smiles to people. Peace:)--Wikiholic 20:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC) Re: Luffy Please don't vandalize pages, I can see from your use of Wiki code & your contributions you've got a good grasp of the rules, but the birthdate was cited so had no reason to revise the page. IdLoveOne 05:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC) Sorry bout that, I was reverting some past vandalism but I reverted back to a revision before your edits. I shall be more careful in future, thanks for pointing it out! --Childzy ¤ Talk 06:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC) Oh, ok then. Just wasn't sure, guess I should've checked the edits. And thanks for the smile! IdLoveOne 15:54, 11 September 2007 (UTC) Why did you undo my edit to the political economy page? Hi, I was just editing the political economy page - did you have a problem with my edit? I noticed that some of the big names of international political economy had been left off and wanted to add them - what's wrong with this??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.21.34 (talk • contribs) The way it was phrased reads like original research and the warning template above explains my actions anyway. Robert Cox and Susan Strange are major figures in the so called 'new' or 'critical' school of international policy economy. The problem with this is who says they are the major figures? I could say black is the new white but it doesn't mean its true, so i reverted it. All that is needed is a source but until it does it is WP:NPOV--Childzy ¤ Talk 21:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC) I've added in an academic source, hope this solved the problem —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.21.34 (talk • contribs) Oops! Whoops! Thanks for the notification. I got a bit careless there. Cheers, Perfect Proposal Speak out loud! 21:45, 10 September 2007 (UTC) Joe Szwaja (again) Would you mind giving it another once-over when you can? I've just spent about 20 edits cleaning and arranging it. • Lawrence Cohen 22:28, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Sorry Sorry i never got back to you before, about adding that article to my watchlist and copyediting again. Im back at college again which means i have a bit less time to get things done. I've added your article and will have a check on the article --Childzy ¤ Talk 14:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC) No worries. I missed a couple of messages on my talk, as well. Hope the year goes well. • Lawrence Cohen 03:30, 5 October 2007 (UTC) Fair use disputed for Image:When Will I See You Again (album).jpg Thanks for uploading Image:When Will I See You Again (album).jpg.

I'm wanting to expand out this article, as there are a very large number of sources on the phenomenon. I'm worried, though, about the structure and flow of the thing, and you and Jehochman (leaving this message for them, too) are good copy-editors. I can fill it up, but I'm worried it will take me far longer than you two to potentially form it up into a readable state rather than a mere collection of facts and anecdotes. Lord knows, it took me a while on Szwaja to get my bearings... • Lawrence Cohen 16:07, 18 September 2007 (UTC) Re:Joke Warning Noted. Couldn't resist it, I'm afraid.

Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid. We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded. You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets. We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page! Addbot (talk) 07:42, 31 August 2008 (UTC) Motto of the day Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help. When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this. If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing!

This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

And the article itself mentions outside sources referring to them as either "goth rock" and "goth metal". And I myself think of them as a Goth band. So, all three factors combined were the reason I identified them as "goth rock". agustinaldo. Gael Kakuta That's cool.

Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed.

You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section.
