Spam to multiple users (13 of them)[edit]
Hi. From comments on Sam Spade's RfC, I got the impression that quite a few users, including you, were in favor of an RFAr on Sam, though no one liked, or perhaps had the time, to be the one to post it. If I were to start a request on the RFAr page, would you be interested in signing as an involved party, and/or write a short statement there? I'm asking because if people have lost interest, there's obviously not much point in my doing it; it would merely distress and aggravate Sam unproductively, which I've certainly no wish to do. I wouldn't supply any examples of my own, as I haven't edited any of "Sam's articles" for a long time (couldn't stand it, that's why I stopped), but would basically simply refer to the RfC. It seems to me that anybody who wanted to endorse such an RFAr could more or less do the same, as the RfC is so complete. It's full of evidence, and its talkpage gives a view of Sam's attitude. I believe that it's important for the encyclopedia and the community that the old dog should learn new tricks, but please don't think I want to put the least pressure on you or anybody else to take part in an RFAr if you'd rather not.

Country rock, in music and geology[edit]
First, thanks for starting the article about the geological term: I've never heard of that, and I like to learn things. Second, I noticed that you moved a couple of pages to different titles. You might want to read over Wikipedia:Naming conventions. It's standard to name articles in this pattern: Specific title (category), rather than Category (specific title). If someone came to the encyclopedia wanting to know more about "country rock," that's probably the exact phrase they'd type in, so that's what the main article title should be. For some examples, check out the titles of Nirvana (band), Pipe (computing), and The Bird (mascot). If you have no objections, I'm going to move the articles back where they were.

- You're certainly welcome, and thanks for the kind comment. I hope you enjoy being here. Feel free to ask if you need help with anything: I don't always know the answer, but I can generally point you to someone who does. Joyous | Talk 02:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello. When you moved the page and replaced it with the disambiguation you failed to update the pages that link to Country rock. When you have a few spare moments, would you mind very much going through those pages and updating their links so they point to the new Country rock (music) page? (Be careful though, some of those pages are tricky -- for example, for a second there I thought Desert rock intended the new geology page, but no: it's the music page, too!) Thanks!

- I am bot-illiterate, so I don't really know if there'a bot that would change those links or not. You might ask that question at the village pump. Joyous | Talk 19:56, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- You don't need a bot to edit a page! I thought maybe User:Hgilbert could do it but if you want to that'd be OK too. Thanks! Ewlyahoocom 20:27, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
