Thank you. BritandBeyonce 05:11, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A little favor?

Hey there Efe, I've seen through your edits that you assess articles, and I was wondering if you could do the same to List of awards and nominations received by Chris Brown? No rush, just didn't know how to handle it myself as I'm not a huge person of assessing large article like this. DiverseMentality^(Boo!) 06:19, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I usually do not assess articles, only those that interest me. However, I also do not assess lists so Im wondering if there's a template for this. Discographies do have. --Efe (talk) 06:31, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. I'll try to get that assessed some other way. Thanks for the response. DiverseMentality^(Boo!) 06:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. --Efe (talk) 06:37, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added a template under R&B. --Efe (talk) 07:04, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see you took after Gary King's example. Thank you very much as well. DiverseMentality^(Boo!) 07:05, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but what I was looking was a template similar to {{WikiProject Discographies}}. --Efe (talk) 07:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I was also looking for a template for lists after asking King for the favor, and I found it afterwards. Turned out to be right under WP:ASSESS#Non-standard grades, so I won't be having this trouble again. Thanks for the help! DiverseMentality^(Boo!) 07:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome. --Efe (talk) 07:19, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Geniusdream

Yep, noted. Seems as though this user is just some fanboy dedicated to cheering and praising at Sarah's career. He can be of some help, but I think his fannish style of editing is something that he should seek help for. Blake Gripling (talk) 05:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. I hope we'll get response from him anytime soon. The FA nomination is going to be killed. --Efe (talk) 05:42, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. Who would be crazy enough to make a peacock-ridden article to a featured status? I'm now into cleaning up the article, removing all the unnecessary stuff, although I still need some backup from you guys. Blake Gripling (talk) 05:46, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TAMBAY knew of this already. --Efe (talk) 05:54, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've removed some of the cruft in the article. Might still need some extra cleanup, I guess... Blake Gripling (talk) 05:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats

Awesome, it got promoted and congrats to you too for the job well done. ;) Sorry I didn't respond sooner, college, took some of my days out of Wikipedia, but now I'm back. Hey, you wanna work on another topic? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:36, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats to you, too. Yeah, its fine. I'm working on Parachutes; "Shiver" and "Don't Panic" are on GAN. Any help is appreciated. --Efe (talk) 05:35, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know, I guess you have Parachutes all to yourself. :) You know I will always help out, oh, and thanks for reverting vandalism from "Talk's" article, I appreciate it. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:21, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, wanted to let you know that Cavie78 has added a copy-edit tag to A Rush of Blood to the Head, ~~X&Y~~, and "Clocks". I think the reason he added the tags is because the articles are not written in British English. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 17:40, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome. Thanks for informing me. I'll drop him/her a message. --Efe (talk) 10:30, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I sensed it too but I asked him/her first. I'll revert all the "British" changes when there is no reason given. No respect of the editors here in WikiPedia. --Efe (talk) 10:43, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True. I thought it was my duty to let you know, since you have been the main contributor to the articles. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:03, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Is "Violet Hill" ready for GA? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:22, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, my. I think you were delayed because of this. Sorry. The article, I think, is fine. --Efe (talk) 08:29, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, snap. I didn't realize it. :) Alright, I'll go with your word and nominate it. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:17, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, after "Don't Panic" and "Shiver" you wanna work on some Justin Timberlake songs? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:00, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I once worked on "What Goes Around" and FutureSex but it seems that his songs have limited info, unlike Coldplay. But we'll try. I'm working on novels now. hehe. --Efe (talk) 05:29, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Really? I thought he was really open on the meaning of his songs. Well, if you had challenges when writing "What Goes Around" and FutureSex, I guess there are other artists that maybe we can work on. Only if YOU want to. :) Novels? What type of genre are you working on? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Romance? I don't mind the genre. After all, we're after the sources. Hehe. Am working on some Nicholas Sparks novels, Paulo Coelho (soon, hopefully), and The Elegance of the Hedgehog. --Efe (talk) 07:17, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Reliable sources" argument in Green Light (song)

?uestlove is a well-known musician who owns the Okayplayer web site and posts under the name 15. I'm not sure how he's not a reliable source on the information I added that you removed. I am asking you here to explain before I undo the deletion for a third time. 216.185.5.2 (talk) 14:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That source is a forum and it is considered non-reliable per Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_sources. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 10:25, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copy edit templates

Hi Efe, the English really needs working on on all of three Coldplay articles. Will try and sort myself next week. Cavie78 (talk) 15:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Really? It should not be passed to GA status. --Efe (talk) 05:35, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dangerously In Love Album(2003).png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dangerously In Love Album(2003).png. 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) 05:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image is now OK. --Efe (talk) 05:45, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From --Geniusdream (talk) 08:16, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

The biography I put there was the exact copy of the biography of Sarah Geronimo in IMDB, furthermore it will sound a trivia since biography is something that less people know about her. Moreover, the quote placed in the biography section is just an introduction of how her life in the show business started, and as I check on other articles in wikipedia, I can see quotes in the page.

--Geniusdream (talk) 08:16, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Blakegripling ph and I are trying to help you get this article up to the standards of WikiPedia. However, you kept reverting substantial edits (not to mention blank edit summaries). But that does not necessarily mean you're a "bad" writer. Its just that your a newbie (and we understand that the moment you were blocked) and you have to learn more about how WikiPedia works and how its editors collaborate. If you don't mind, I suggest reading Biographies of living person, Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Copyrights (which means you are not to copy contents from other websites, unless...), and more. I also go through that and one of the best way to learn more is to read articles in WP:GA and WP:FA. Best wishes Genius. --Efe (talk) 08:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm now working on the biography part, and I will re-edit the contents to make it formal and suited for Wikipedia. --Geniusdream (talk) 08:31, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave that to you. But please do not revert good-faith edits, and please add edit summaries. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 08:33, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You, and I hope you can help me on the article and to others that I'll be editing, if there are any mistakes or unnecessary details, so that I can learn. --Geniusdream (talk) 08:39, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anytime sir. Just a note, other editors here are not friendly, so a bit careful next time. =) --Efe (talk) 08:43, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Geniusdream (talk) 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. Cheers, and Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Do you have any suggestions on the page, Sarah Geronimo, is it ready to be a nominee for featured articles, if not please guide me. THANK YOU! --Geniusdream (talk) 06:49, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you reading this pages: WP:Featured article criteria and WP:Good article criteria, and pass first the article to WP:GAN. --Efe (talk) 07:35, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
