You just asked me a question extremely difficult to answer; maybe my favorite composers would be, besides Beethoven, Chopin, and Bach: Rachmaninoff, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Strauss, Debussy, Satie, Mozart, Liszt, Schumann, Schubert, ... and many more that I can't think of now! :-) --LaPianista! 19:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC) LaPianista! has smiled at you!

Thanks for correcting my spelling here, but in fact that spelling was deliberate. You weren't to know that, of course, but in any event the guidelines say that another person's spelling should not be corrected. Just a friendly note, --Richardrj talk email 15:43, 24 July 2008 (UTC) It was just a little private joke from me to a wiki-friend. No harm done, --Richardrj talk email 19:21, 27 July 2008 (UTC) Signature Hi, I noticed your signature has an image in. Unfortunately, images are not allowed in signatures, per Wikipedia:SIG#Images. Please go to Special:Preferences and take the image out. Thanks! —Angr 09:29, 29 July 2008 (UTC) Secret page Aww, you cheated! I could have given you a hint...By the way, I personally would have used "What links here" or checking through one of the finder's contribs. Or, to be really nasty, type User:La Pianista/ in the new fill-in-as-you-type searchbox and see what pops up. And I see you've adopted the "La- -ista" suffix and prefix. Catchy, eh? :) Another "by-the-way" comment: I see they didn't let you use an image in your sig. I could design an equally cool one without it, if you like. —LaPianista! «talk» 20:35, 1 August 2008 (UTC) Fixed straightaway! Hoorah! Both issues have been fixed...really minor stuff, nothing to brag about. Actually, I'm complemented that you took some of my ideas; that means they were good! ^_^ And here's some sigs to choose from. (Actually, you can't put images in your sig; I hadn't meant to imply that I would add one, if that's what it sounded like. I'll reformat it to make it so cool, it won't need one.) ;-) The first one sprouted from an older version of mine: La Alquimista ¿•?/¡•! You could change the color scheme for this one, if you like (blue, red, pink, violet, orange, green, brown, grayscale, etc.) La Alquimista More soon... P.S. If these sigs take up too much room to be put in preferences, you can copy the code to a subpage (for instance, La Alquimista/sig) and type {{subst:user:La Alquimista/sig}} and uncheck the box for "raw signature." It should come up just fine! :) —LaPianista! «talk» 17:49, 2 August 2008 (UTC) Aww, thanks so much! I'm really flattered... —LaPianista! «talk» has smiled at you!

You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help. When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this. If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing!

You gave this to La Pianista so it only follows I give it to you as well. Thanks for everything, La Alquimista!

BTW, La Pianista was abashed on knowing that you (according to her)," actually attributed more to me than I actually deserve"! See my talk page. You'll understand. Thanks for everything. See ya!

Re:Reward Board Could you not repeatedly add your promotion of your guestbook to the Reward Board, because it's not related to improving the encyclopedia.

I thought that it might be better to inform you on this, rather than just remove your sandbox from the category without discussing it with you first. --Whip it!
