AALIYAH2014 warning

What image are you referring to? She screws up the FUR templates pretty often, but she seems to only be uploading album cover images and placing them into appropriate articles.—Kww(talk) 05:21, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Whoops, warning wasn't what I was looking for. Fixed. DiverseMentality 05:30, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

This user vandalized the Survivor Series (2008) article again. Vermon CaTaffy 8 (talk) 03:20, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I've warned the user. DiverseMentality 03:30, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

How come you are not an admin?

I was genuinely wondering about this, seeing you around so much and making good edits. So, if you don't mind, may I ask why you are not an admin? Have you never considered it or did you think it will influence your other editing too much? Regards SoWhy 14:28, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

It's been suggested once or twice. Although I do plan to run for an RfA sometime next year, I'm holding off for now; I'm currently a busy person with my current tasks, and I want to push a few things out of the way before I start with any admin work. DiverseMentality 18:29, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah, well, I understand. If you need any help with RfA or such, let me know. :-) Regards SoWhy 12:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

		The RfA Barnstar
		Explicit, I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with 112 supports, 4 opposes and 5 neutrals. A special mention goes out to Stwalkerster and Pedro for nominating me, thanks a lot for having trust in me! In response to the neutrals, I will try to double check articles that have been tagged for speedy deletion before I CSD them and will start off slowly with the drama boards of ANI and AN to ensure that I get used to them. In response to the oppose !votes on my RfA, I will check that any images I use meet the non-free content criteria and will attempt to handle any disputes or queries as well as I can. If you need my help at all, feel free to simply ask at my talk page and I'll see if I can help. Once again, thank you for your participation, and have a great day! :) The Helpful One 22:31, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

"Don't Panic" GA review

I think I have addressed all your concerns. Please check. Regards, Efe (talk) 02:04, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

I was actually reviewing the article right before this note. I've passed it; good work on the article. DiverseMentality 02:13, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Diverse. Me and ThinkBlue only need one more article for two GT nominations, Parachutes and X&Y. So if you are interested in reviewing "Fix You", please do it. :) --Efe (talk) 02:30, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

I think I'll go for both Violet Hill (song) and Fix You. DiverseMentality 02:39, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. --Efe (talk) 03:30, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Ashanti

Ashanti is not of Puerto Rican decent? Good call, no I mean 'great" call. The fact that she has only declared herself as only "Black" doesn't really mean anything if she "were" of a mixed descent like so many (especially the Asian blogs) claim that she is, but those are not reliable. The problem was the "Disney Kids - Trading Places" should have clarified which Ashanti they were referring to. What can you do, these things happen, right? Take care, Tony the Marine (talk) 03:30, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Yup, they sure do. And I just realized I misspelled "descent". How embarrassing! DiverseMentality 06:38, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Paper Trail

I've seen you doing work with the audio box and I had a thought that the box would look better without the "No Matter What" reference. That way you could see all the content more clear.

I didn't want to remove the reference just to have it added again. SE KinG. User page. Talk. 20:35, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

It does look a littler cluttered with the reference in the description of the audio sample. I'll try to work it into the section. DiverseMentality 21:13, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Bring on the dancing knaves - the beer has wine gums have arrived

Have an unyielding beer on me. Let the amber nectar flow all day and night. Let it run down the mountains and through the caverns and across the rich lawns to swamp the streets. Let it rain beer. Let the heavens open and shine forth beer. Let it all be beer. Wonderful beer. And let it be as deep as the heart of a lion. This is an acknowledgment of your participation in the RfA of: SilkTork *YES!. 19:12, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in my RfA

I just wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" for taking the time and effort to participate in my recent RfA. As you may know, the discussion closed 66/0/1 and I'm now a holder of the mop. I will keep working to improve the encyclopedia and appreciate the trust which you have placed in me. - Dravecky (talk) 00:19, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

You haven't heard?

Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law was arrested for the murders today. I added that info myself, but take a look at the article to see if it's alright. I used E! Online and MTV as sources. --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 05:32, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

And the LA Times. --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 05:42, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

I've made a few grammar and info changes. The sources are solid. DiverseMentality 05:45, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams

I just wanted to leave you a quick note and thank you for dropping in and taking care of so many items on the list for the GA review. Thank you very much for your hard work and helping to hasten the review. – Ms. Sarita ^Confer 07:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

No problem at all. And thank you for also working on the article, including fixing my error of not titling the reference and for taking time to review the article. DiverseMentality 07:16, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Good Article Nom

Hello, if you have time, would you mind taking a look at Stephens City, Virginia. I nom'd it for Good Article Status a couple days ago. It is under "Places" on the Good Article Nom page. Thanks...NeutralHomer • Talk • December 2, 2008 @ 19:43

Hey there, Neutralhomer. Unfortunately, I don't review articles outside the music topic yet. For now, you'll just have to be patient and wait for someone else to review it. DiverseMentality 19:47, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Okie Dokie :) Thanks for the reply :) Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • December 2, 2008 @ 20:04

Query

Could you please tell me why you quick-failed "808s & Heartbreak" without a SINGLE explanation? I'm assuming you missed the Fail box's main point of "State which criteria were not met on the article's talk page". Please reply, otherwise I shall assume it was vandalism and renominate it. -- A ^talk/_contribs 18:58, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

I left the explanation on the review page. Why would I fail for you to assume it's vandalism? DiverseMentality 22:13, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Because its happened before? Thanks for the comments. -- A ^talk/_contribs 22:21, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

I started reviewing GANs not too long, and I haven't seen an instance where that has happened yet, so I wouldn't have known these unexplaiend fails have happened on a regular basis. Best to assume good faith than to jump to conclusions, right? DiverseMentality 22:26, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Earth Song

Hi DM, responded here, made improvements and left the odd question. Nearly done. Cheers. — Realist² 15:51, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your careful consideration at my successful RfA. Please let me know on my talk page if you have any suggestions for me. - Dan Dank55 (send/receive) 22:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Solange Knowles

Hi, Diverse. Thanks for helping me with the GA review. Hope it goes smoothly. --Efe (talk) 11:50, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

No problem at all. Glad to help. DiverseMentality 18:01, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Wooooo! Nice. nice. But Durova is busy, I think. --Efe (talk) 00:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, thank you; the photographer was kind enough to change the license to be used here. We'll just have to wait until Durova has time; hopefully soon. DiverseMentality 01:24, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

I did not saw that one. I was checking for freely-licensed images in Flickr but none, only images not allowed in the project. --Efe (talk) 06:21, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

That won't get much results! I look for all types, and I message the original author asking them for use. That's an easier, more effective trick. DiverseMentality 06:29, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

White Lies good article review

I've left a couple of comments on the review page of the above article, if you could help me out, that would be great.

In hindsight, it possibly would have been easier to just leave them here... --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 15:39, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I've replied. I'll do my best to work on the article as well. DiverseMentality 17:21, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for all your help --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 02:23, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

What do you think of the lead of the article at the moment? Is it good for the GA status? --00:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Yup, all good. Just a few more issues left. DiverseMentality 01:24, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

I think i may have dealt with all the issues. Get back to me if you think its good enough --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 05:07, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll give the article another look tomorrow morning, I WikiGnome at night. DiverseMentality 06:29, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

T.I

Since Ti is locked, pls edit it for me.
I thinkthe 1st TI section should be changed from 'early life' to 'bio'. Then add his kids. Here is the info to add:

TI has sons sons Messiah Ya'Majesty(2000) and Domani Uriah(2001) with ex-girlfriend Lashon Dixon. His daughter Deyjah Imani Harris(2004) is with another ex. He has dated R&B singer Tameka Cottle on and off since 2001. They have two sons : Clifford Joseph Harris 3rd(25 Aug 04) and Major Philant Harris (17 May 08). Their daughter Llayah Armour Harris was stillborn on 21 March 2007 . Cottle has daughter Zonnique Pullins(96)with a record producer named Zebo .

Thanks DM. 72.66.94.160 (talk) 00:19, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, looking at the references, NNDb is not a reliable source; I'm not sure of celebrity-babies.com, so I'll look over the site and figure that out. I'll work the two sourced by Vibe and E! into the article. DiverseMentality 01:28, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Thx.Why isnt NNDB relaible? 'celebrity-babies.com' is owned by People (magazine) so I know that is reliable. Anyways his kids are all over the web so it shouldnt be hard 2 find them. Also how come when kids names are added to bios it gets reverted citing privacy? Steven Speilberg, Ang Jolie, etc ahve their kids names on their apges. It isnt like were giving out their address. Thx.
