Revision as of 14:18, 2 September 2009
Hello, Das Ansehnlisch! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions to this free encyclopedia. We're so glad you're here! If you decide that you need help, check out Getting Help below or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking or using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills, the sandbox is for you. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. Below are some useful links to facilitate your involvement. Happy editing! — Mikhailov Kusserow (talk) 12:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Das Ansehnlisch! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Paint It, Black, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 18:59, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
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. FASTILY(TALK)23:24, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from File:Postcardsfromfarawaysheetmusic.jpg, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. FASTILY(TALK)23:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Glass of Water
Regarding your comments on User talk:JD554: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. I redirected (not deleted) the article because if fails Wikipedia's guidelines on notability as I indicated in my edit summary.JD554 (talk) 06:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Glassofwater.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 06:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Glass of Water (song). Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 12:38, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
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. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button 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) 12:46, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Proposed deletion of Strawberry Swing
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Strawberry Swing, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.
I have nominated Strawberry Swing, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Strawberry Swing. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
File copyright problem with File:Postcardsfromfarawaysheetmusic.jpg
File Copyright problem
Thank you for uploading File:Postcardsfromfarawaysheetmusic.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
I have nominated Postcards from Far Away, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Postcards from Far Away. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you remove the maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles, as you did to File:Postcardsfromfarawaysheetmusic.jpg, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. JD554 (talk) 12:50, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I can assure you that I don't not like you as you suggest. The problem is that despite repeated attempts you keep creating or recreating articles which are on non-notable subjects. Wikipedia has notability guidelines which need to be maintained otherwise we would be full of articles on subjects which simply aren't notable. You should make a point of reading WP:N, WP:GNG and WP:NSONGS to see why I've nominated a number of your articles for deletion. If you've taken my actions as a personal attack, I can only apologise, that certainly is not what I intended. However, I maintain the articles I've nominated for deletion should be removed from Wikipedia. I hope this helps clear the air, --JD554 (talk) 13:30, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Proskpects March
Adding the information that you've been trying to create articles for to the Prospekts March article is a good idea. It's worth noting though that anything you add needs to be verified by reliable sources (see WP:V and WP:RS). It's probably also a good idea if you have a look at some of the links that are in the welcome message at the top or this page, paying particular attention to the "Policies and guidelines section". Cheers --JD554 (talk) 13:41, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
...And don't forget that anything you do add is likely to be edited mercilessly by other editors. Don't take it personally though, we all simply want to make the articles better. But it does say at the bottom of the page when you edit anything "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it." --JD554 (talk) 13:44, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A page like that is likely to be redirected/deleted as well as it will simply contain non-notable songs and therefore not meet the notability criteria itself. It would be best to simply create a section in the Prospekts March article for information regarding the specific songs not released as singles. --JD554 (talk) 14:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'd rather not be a mentor, thanks for asking anyway, but I prefer to get on with editing as much as I can. However, if you would still like someone to mentor you WP:ADOPT is the place to go as there are plenty of willing volunteers to act as mentors there. --JD554 (talk) 06:51, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Page moves
Please use more discretion when considering page moves. Several of your recent moves have been without any discussion, and have resulted in incorrect page placement that other editors have had to repair. One in particular - Pavel Chekov - created a real mess with the multiple moves and redirects. In future, it would be better to first propose moves on the article's talk page. Thank you in advance. --Ckatzchatspy03:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Seriously. Please discuss page moves prior to making them. You have made a series of moves that do not meet the requirements of the Style Guide, and you have not discussed them. It only takes a moment to post on the article's talk page, whereas it takes considerably longer for other editors to clean up afterwards. Thank you. --Ckatzchatspy18:14, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Glassofwater.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Glassofwater.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Coldplay whatif.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 19:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I notice that you created many new Coldplay song articles and take it very personally when someone comments about your edits or makes changes to them. Note that no one "owns" articles per se on Wiki. This is a collaborative project and anything you add to Wikipedia will be edited or changed by other users, especially when it's in violation of existing Wiki policy, in this case WP:NSONGS.
WP:NSONGS is our basic notability guidelines for inclusion of songs in Wikipedia. We aren't a personal blog or Coldplay fan page/wiki, so we don't include independent articles for each track from the band. Again, please do not take ownership of articles and understand that other editors are working in good faith when nominating some of your articles for deletion. --Madchester (talk) 14:40, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.
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.

I want to help this site and not vandalize it. Some info located on some pages (i.e: an album subtitle, ect.) can be used as part of the page name, or located on a different part of the page, or could be incorrect. I sometimes use other wikipages for info that could go on a different page. I'm not a bad person, I just want info correct. Also, give me the specific reasons (edits that have helped me get blocked) and tell me more about it and how what I've done is bad. --Das Ansehnlisch (talk) 14:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Promo releases
First of all - don't talk to me like I'm an idiot ... comprende? You aren't clear if these are promo releases or singles. A promo release is a release that is given to radio stations etc to play when an album or dvd is being released, but they aren't available to buy. A full release is one that it is possible to buy. Which are these? --JD554 (talk) 06:47, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Orphaned non-free media (File:Strawberryswing.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Strawberryswing.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) 06:31, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because Google ranks Wikipedia pages very highly, and because we don't want our project's reputation damaged when the media notices one of the most popular websites in the world momentarily called the Jonas Brothers "retards". Your joke today could be this entire encyclopedia's public relations disaster, tomorrow. I see this isn't the first time you've posted something like this. The Wikipedia community assumes good faith and allows anyone to edit; that's a trust relationship I take very seriously. Please reconsider your behavior before you damage that trust any further. – Luna Santin (talk)23:35, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Das Ansehnlisch, based on the above I've unblocked your account. Note though that if you recreate the page or otherwise disrupt the site you will be blocked again.

Re: Ultraviolet, So Cruel, Tryin to Throw Your Arms Around the World
Forgive me if I'm on the wrong page (don't know if you'll look at this or The Chauffeur), but I'm unsure of which to post it. While I am also a fan of those three U2 songs, please note that all three violate Wikipedia's policy on Notability, found at WP:N, hence why they have been made into redirects. Instead of edit-warring over the matter, please discuss the issue on either the respective talk pages or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U2 if you really feel that they are notable enough to warrant their own articles, with reasons to substantiate your claims.

Hi, Das Ansehnlisch, you are graciously extended an invitation to join the International Highways WikiProject! The Highways WikiProject is an evolving and expanding WikiProject. We are a group of editors who are dedicated to creating, revising, and expanding articles, lists, categories, road portal and Wikiprojects, to do with anything related to International Roads. This includes supporting existing regional road WikiProjects and fostering the development of new WikiProjects.
We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!
Some points that may be helpful:
Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.
Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as "bitey". Encourage civility and maybe even {{welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.
The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion.
Our primary work is improving articles tagged for rescue. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on our current articles page. It is highly recommended you watchlist it.
If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.
Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to 40 (song). This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 20:34, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Glass of Water (song).

Still not getting the site ?
Hi, Das Ansehnlisch. Looking through the edits since I unblocked you I can see: A silly attack on a person (calling people "dipshits"), you re-uploading a deleted image (ITSISK.jpg), and some reverting of edits without the courtesy of noting why on either the article's talk page or the reverted editors talk page. Civility to other editors is a requirement here, as is treating the contributions of those editors with the same respect you wish your contributions to be treated with. - Peripitus(Talk)00:55, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright violation
Your recent addition to Ian Little has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Straw poll on reliable sources for Eurovision articles
Changing the individual song articles to redirects and moving the content to a single article is a big change and requires consensus. I've reverted the changes. Please do not change it again without seeking and achieving consensus. IMO, I don't think many editors will agree with you. The songs are listed separately on the original album and were recorded mostly separately despite the goal of presenting them seamlessly. Each of the songs is notable in its own right and is worthy of an article. — John Cardinal (talk) 21:57, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
First, you can respond here to keep the discussion in one place. I'll see it.
Regarding your comment that it was "presented and played live in the wat of a medley" is not correct. The album cover makes no mention of a medley and while the album mix presents the songs mostly seamlessly, that's not the same thing. Many separate musical works are presented seamlessly via segues. Also, The Beatles never played the song live, and the interpretation of other artists doesn't matter.
I see you have reverted the Abbey Road medley twice despite being asked to seek consensus. (Perhaps you noticed that it was another editor—unknown to me—who reverted your first revert.) Can't we avoid an edit war on this? — John Cardinal (talk) 03:19, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You wrote on my talk page that "We can keep the page and delete it if it's absolutley necessary." I think that's a bad idea: we'd have to keep the content in sync across the many pages.
File copyright problem with File:Hammersmith82.jpg
File Copyright problem
Thank you for uploading File:Hammersmith82.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
Once again I've had to come along and add the missing licensing information and fair use rationale from an image you've uploaded. What exactly is it that you are struggling to understand from all the above notices/warnings and links? --JD554 (talk) 07:03, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't want to read the page about how you should upload pictures, then don't upload pictures. Any further disruptive uploads by will be treated as disruptive editing and may lead to you being blocked. I would strongly suggest that you do read how to upload files properly and that you use the WP:UPLOAD tool to help you do so correctly. --JD554 (talk) 13:54, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The RfC on article sourcing was closed by Moonriddengirl (talk·contribs) as an uninvolved editor. The decisions were for each source:
ESCToday: Reliable
ESCKaz: Semi-reliable
ESCTime: Not reliable
Oikotimes: No consensus
More details on the decision as well as the full RfC can be found on the project talk page. The decisions made in the RfC will likely impact on future drafts of the article guidelines. Please note that further use of Oikotimes and ESCTime is discouraged and existing uses should be replaced with reliable sources. If no other source exists for the information, leave the current source for the time being.
Due to a new naming convention relating to the use of the term "FYR Macedonia", the Republic of Macedonia should be referred to as "Macedonia" in Eurovision articles. Mention of the country's participation in the Contest under the name "FYR Macedonia" should be written in the lead of articles such as Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest, though it is not necessary to express this fact in the general Contest articles.
Two months after the 2009 Contest ended, the EBU revealed the full jury and televoting results for each country on its website. The results showed that Norway was the winner of both the jury and the televoting, while many placings would have changed had no jury voting taken place.
Georgia announced its return to the Contest, while the Czech Republic will withdraw from the 2010 Contest.
Welcome to the twelfth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!
It has been a very slow couple of months in terms of Eurovision news since the passing of the 2009 Contest, however, it has been a very busy time for guidelines and policies affecting our project. Landmark decisions have been made regarding our use of sources and even how we are to refer to Macedonia. In addition, several of our Good Articles have been delisted as part of a task force charged with maintaining the quality of Wikipedia's Good Articles.
With there being less information to add and therefore less to do for some, we need to focus on the upkeep and quality of our project's articles and getting those inactive members active once again. We can do this by making sure all new guidelines and naming policies are adhered to and by working to move articles up the quality scale. We are a WikiProject and we all work towards a similar goal. Introduce yourself to your fellow members and get active!
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Glass of Water. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. JD554 (talk) 13:43, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading File:CantStopFeeling.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 01:00, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Template:Coldplay. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, or you may be blocked from editing. JD554 (talk) 08:41, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
White Album Singles
Even tho USSR and Helter Skelter appear on the "White Album" -- the singles (*BOTH SIDES) are from the Rock N Roll Music album. It's not correct to put them in the White Album.
Actually, yes it is correct to put them in White Album, because they were released as singles to promote RNRM, but the songs are from the White Album.--Das Ansehnlisch (talk) 12:31, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, actually, they were used to promote the RNRM album and that's where they belong. Their release in this configuration, eight years on, had nothing to do with the "White Album", except for it being the source for the music. Radiopathy•talk•23:27, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked for 72 hours for not heeding all the warnings above. It was clear that the page moves you were performing were not appreciated, and you refused to stop. Enigmamsg16:14, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not move pages to nonsensical titles. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to learn more about moving pages, please see the guidelines on this subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you.
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.

B-sides
The convention is to list the A-side using the A-side parameter. Please follow it. Changing to something else just means a lot of work for other editors. — John Cardinal (talk) 01:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
PLease stop...
...and at least discuss. The U2 redirects are there for a reason. They are non-notable songs for wikipedia as determined at WP:MUSIC. PLease cease reverting the good faith work of others. At least explain why these songs are notable and how, as you suggest, they should be "edited". thanks --Merbabu (talk) 13:06, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop unredirecting articles on songs that do not pass our notability guidelines. The notability guideline is quite clear on this - "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song. Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album.". Many of these articles clearly do not meet this guideline. Your edit summaries are also unhelpful.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Paint It, Black, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 18:59, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Glass of Water (song), you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 月 (Moon)と暁 (Sunrise) 12:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
