“ It's not why you're running
it's where you're going
it's not what you're dreaming
but what you're gonna do
It's not where you're born
it's where you belong
it's not how weak
but what will make you strong ” — U2, "Summer Rain"

Hello from Ireland

Thanks for leaving me a message on my page last year. Sorry I am only logging in now to see it. If you want to talk about U2 and Ireland we can trade contact details and I'll be happy to chat. I'm not sure if you made your trip here yet or not but if you did I hope you enjoyed it. Smithcool 23:39, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

That's bad you couldn't make the trip, hopefully you can soon. Many people here like U2 but not everyone. Yes you can give me your email and we can talk. You have a good taste in music :) Smithcool 20:26, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

One thing you have to understand is that Wikipedia is trying to be serious and formal, even in articles about popular music. It is not trying to be like IMDB and it is definitely not trying to be like a fan site. The things that end up in Wikipedia are things that come from mainstream general news sources like BBC News, CNN, Reuters, and The Irish Times, and mainstream music sources like NME, Rolling Stone and Billboard. Hope this helps. Wasted Time R (talk) 12:17, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes, you can use an interview in Rolling Stone magazine as a source for adding something to Wikipedia. But it has to be relevant to the article and not just personal trivia. For example, if Sarah Singer says her favorite color is yellow, that's not really important enough to include in a Wikipedia article. Everybody has a favorite color, listing it is great for a fan site but not important enough for here. But if Sarah Singer says her favorite color is yellow, and that her album cover art is often dominated by yellow, and the Rolling Stone writer notes that themes of sunlight and reason but also of warning are in her songs (all themes associated with yellow), then yes the favorite color is an important part of her work and all of that should be included in a Wikipedia article. Or to take quotations. You added a whole slew of Bono quotations to the article, in a single section without dates or origins or significance. That is not what Wikipedia is for. However, you can certainly put a quote here and there in the article text, to illustrate some aspect of the subject. For example, Bono has often been accused of being self-important. There's a great quote from one of his Rolling Stone interviews: "I'm sick of Bono. And I am Bono. It's like, oh, man, shut up. But there it is. You just don't want to be dull. We might be annoying. But we're not dull." That could certainly be included in the article. Hope this helps. Wasted Time R (talk) 11:33, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, Wasted Time, it sure helps. I'm glad you took some of your time to explain that to me. I'll try to improve. Love n' Peace//Only Love Can Heal Such A Scar// (talk) 13:18, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Username issue

I asked an administrator (MBisanz) for help with your confused username and the response was: You need to log into Wikipedia with your new username of "Miss Bono" (with the space) using the password of your old username (that is, the password of "Ali Hewson" the first time you created it). Hope this helps. Wasted Time R (talk) 11:29, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject U2

Hi, I'm really sorry but I'm not writing U2 content right now, as I'm busy with school, WikiProject Women Scientists, and WikiProject Constellations. But if you wanted a collaborator, I've got a project in the back of my mind. Let me know! :) Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 02:34, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
