Hi, please leave your message here. Except requested otherwise, I usually reply on this page.

Hip hop groups by nationalities don't go directly into their hip hop's nationality category-- they go into the hip hop musicians category of their nationality. I noticed you improperly switched it on Category:Hong Kong hip hop groups. Just a headsup that I reverted. Peace, --Urthogie 22:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Categories are often placed in several other categories. See Wikipedia:Categorization for more info on categories. As far as the convention-- yes, it has been what we've been doing. It's done at every nationality's hip hop groups category.(See Category:Hip hop groups by nationality).

The reason we do it this way is so that someone can be looking at Category:Hong Kong hip hop, then head over to Category:Hong Kong hip hop musicians, and then choose between rappers and groups. Makes navigation better. Peace, --Urthogie 23:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

I want to thank you for your work on the Hong Kong sections. I just think it's a good thing. Zachkchk 07:09, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I guess that I just edit and create articles in Wikipedia whenever I found subject that interests me. I haven’t done much though compare to some hyper-active Hong Kong Wikipedians(!!)( and I wonder where did you find my fingerprints?) But anyway, thanks for your appreciation, it is really cool, especially for a message from one of the editors of the magazine that I often read. Da Vynci 20:38, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your compliment in turn. I would like to talk to you about a few things, especially concerning your post below. Could you drop me an email at zach AT ostensible dot org? Zachkchk 13:46, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Complete Manual of Revenge?

You included a reference to this book in your article on the The Complete Manual of Suicide -- where did you get this? I can not find any information on it online (I am looking to obtain a copy). Please email me -- brendanx@gmail.com Thank you! --Brendanx 2:49 9/21/06 (EST/USA)

Tokyo flag

Hi! I've upgraded your image Image:Flag of Tokyo.gif to an SVG file at Image:Flag of Tokyo.svg. The main advantage of an SVG file is that it can be made as big as you like without it getting pixelly: compare

File:Flag of Tokyo.gif

As a result, I'm going to nominate the original for deletion, and should therefore leave a note here. smurrayinchester^{(User), (Talk)} 20:32, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• Since you have a better version, why don't you simply overwrite my version (by hitting the 'update this image' link, or similar link) , why bother going through the precedure of voting? Da Vynci 04:48, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• • Because I can't overwrite a GIF with an SVG; as far as I'm aware, the software will only let you replace an image with another one of the same file type. smurrayinchester^{(User), (Talk)} 06:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• • • Oh, I see. Yeah, that's good, dispose the old pic and add a better version, thanks! Da Vynci 08:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

The Complete Mannual of Sucide

Dude, it's different authors (鶴見済 and A.R.A), different publisher (太田出版 and Wanibooks) and even unrelated title (完全自殺マニュアル and 復讐の手引き)and deceptively unrelated topic (sucide and revenge). Only common element is use of similar words, mannual and instruction (Tebiki). Moreover the later book encourage people to take reveng in "legal manner" by harrasement and not by murder. Vapour

Kill Bill

I see your point about Dim Mak. However, I think it is POV to equate the FPPEHT with Dim Mak (i.e., wikilinking the FPPEHT phrase with Dim Mak) simply because a reviewer does so. If Dim Mak is included, explain the connection (with sources), but do not wikilink the two phrases. Ward3001 23:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

re you tube

hi,

I'm of the generation that is still to be pursuaded I need a cell phone, so I haven't a web cam etc. The only video footage of performances of myself I have access to is a 9 year old unedited video tape of a 30min TV programme on my playing. Thankyou for the vote of confidence - but I'm not a touring concert artist, merely a working musician specialising in classical guitar performance and tuition.

Tablature is a curse, I frequently have to repair the damage it does to young musicians who belatedly decide to take music seriously. RichardJ Christie 08:40, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Invitation for Wikipedia research from CityU HK

Dear Da Vynci,

I would like to congratulate you to the fantastic work you’re doing for Wikipedia! Because you’re an expert in your field and a well integrated member in the Wikipedia community, we would like to invite you to participate in our research project on collaboration activities and mechanisms in Wikipedia.

At the Center for Applied Knowledge and Innovation Management at City University we’re currently doing a research project on Wikipedia, and we are inviting experienced Wikipedians in Hong Kong to share their success stories and views on different aspect of the community processes with us. We would thus like to invite you to an interview at your convenience, preferably within the next two weeks if possible. The interview should not take longer than 30-45 minutes and will be conducted at a place and time of your convenience.

We would very much appreciate the opportunity of talking to you and learning about your experiences with Wikipedia, and we hope that you are willing to participate in our research project. Any information about participants will, of course, be kept strictly confidential.

For further questions about the project and to arrange a date for an interview, please contact Dr Andreas Schroeder at WikiResearchCityU{at}gmail.com or send me an email.

We’re looking forward to talking to you in the near future.

Kind regards,
Dr Andreas Schroeder

Cookies (group)

"Not getting in your way aside", I will actively and voluntarily get in your way, because I think we need to make a distinction with a break, because the collapsing of Cookies into merely "Mini Cookies" basically transformed them from one megagroup to a much smaller quartet. That's why the break is there.

And to quote from you, if you're not going to fix it, I will. And when I do, don't you get in my way. Pandacomics (talk) 23:17, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
