Hello, Miss Bono. I replied in the usual place. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 19:24, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Have you ever had the chance to see U2 in concert?

So, I thought I would ask you this and tell you about the time I got to see them in Sacramento at Arco Arena. It started out really bad when we got to our seats, but...in a way it was sort of cool...you see our seats were almost directly behind the stage. The opening act was No Doubt and once they started performing it became pretty clear these seats sucked! LOL! Close to the stage but, who wants to watch an entire concert (that was NOT cheap) from behind the stage. I do that when I don't have a ticket. LOL!

So, I went to one of the ushers ad asked if we could get our money back (not really wanting that outcome) and sure enough they moved all of us in that section to seats that were "No show". Our new seats were actually great floor seats. The concert was much better after that. Most of the rest of the night is somewhat a blur......--Mark Miller (talk) 00:32, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Your email

Yes, I got your email, and no, I don't have any problem with what you said. If you could receive incoming email, I would say much more, but you don't have anything to worry about, at least with me. As always, I wish you well. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 15:31, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes Jim , send an email, my friend is going to copy the emails I have in the inbox and she is going to bring them in a flash memory. Miss Bono ^{[hello, hello!]} 15:33, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

A Thousand Times Goodnight

Hello Miss Bono,

Yes, the film is certainly notable, and I am starting to read reliable sources. It already won an award at a film festival in Montreal. I have a couple of opthalmology appointments today, and have to get my eyes dialated. So my vision may not be the greatest. But I will read as much about the film as I can. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 21:22, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

I am in between appointments, but my mobile phone battery is about 25%. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 21:25, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

I had three eye tests today, two of which were unpleasant. The third was almost an hour late, involved dialation of my eyes, and repeated photos of my optic nerves taken with very bright flashes. Painfully bright. When I left, everything I saw was red, pink and rose colored, including all the buildings and the sky. So I was disoriented for hours.

When I felt a bit better, I read as much as I could find about the film. Coverage of the film so far is scanty. It was made in English by a Norwegian company, and got some attention at two film festivals. Some Irish government money was invested. It is supposed to be in theaters now, but it must be a very limited release. There is no listing on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite featuring a major movie star, and a rock star, it seems "under the radar" at present. Do you know anything more? Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:37, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Jim I hope you are feeling better by today. I hate when I have to get my eyes dialated, I can't stand seeing blurred things... so you kind of got into a psychedelic world after those bright flashes... that remainds me of a special part of Across the Universe (film). I can't imagine how painful it was, but I hope you get better :)

I don't know much about the film. Take a look at my sandbox. I started it yesterday. Miss Bono ^{[hello, hello!]} 12:05, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

User_talk:EdwardsBot/Access_list#Access_.28WP:U2.29

I've just requested access to User:EdwardsBot for you (and eventually me). See: User_talk:EdwardsBot/Access_list#Access_.28WP:U2.29. Best! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 08:47, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

You are now allowed to use EdwardsBot for sending mass-messages. Please do not abuse of this :D
The test (below) was a fiasco (a big failure) and the message was sent to all the inactive users of the project. Shame on me! I have now fixed the problem simply by adding a new list at Wikipedia:WikiProject U2/Outreach/newsletterdelivery. The disadvantage of this is that new members are NOT automatically added to this list. The advantages are that a member of the project can unsubscribe to the newsletter and that a wikipedian can subscribe to the newsletter without having to participate to the project. The newsletter is ready to be sent. We need to decide the format of the message to send out. In my opinion, we can choose between two formats: The Signpost and the Punk Zine.

The first use the following format:

<div style="-moz-column-count:2; -webkit-column-count:2; column-count:2;">
{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/{{subst:#time:Y-m-d|-{{subst:#time:N}} days +1 days}}}}
</div><!--Volume 9, Issue 42-->
<div class="hlist" style="margin-top:10px; font-size:90%; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
* '''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost|Read this Signpost in full]]'''
* [[Wikipedia:Signpost/Single|Single-page]]
* [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Subscribe|Unsubscribe]]
* ~~~~
</div>

which produces:

• News and notes: Grantmaking season—rumblings in the German-language community

• Traffic report: Your average week ... and a fish

• Featured content: Your worst nightmare as a child is now featured on Wikipedia

• Discussion report: More discussion of paid advocacy, upcoming arbitrator elections, research hackathon, and more

As you can see, both provide many internal links to parts/sections of their respective newsletters, and this is the reason why I've added the {{Anchor}}s. Bestest! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 15:12, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

pjoef, I love the Punk Zine format, I am making a badge right now for it. Just wait and I will upload it within a few minutes... Miss Bono ^{[hello, hello!]} 15:18, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

No, no, please. I would like to publish this issue as it is now. We just have to decide the format for the message. For the next newsletter I would like to change its format in a more Wikiproject/Wikipedia than U2 oriented way. Instead of uploading another image, I think it would be better to replace the existing one by making it higher, adding something like "The Wikiproject U2 Newsletter That You Can Edit", and by removing the other image from the header. This needs a proper and new "badge" page to run and I do not know its size, and I'm not ready for this, right now. Also, I've substituted your "Featured content" image with "The Album" because "Best Picture" (probably "Best Quote", and "DYKs" are also featured contents (featured on the newsletter, of course). So we have to decide if it's worth moving all the featured contents on one side or not. But, this will be a matter for the next newsletter. Please, help me with the message to send. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 19:15, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Notice that you are using uppercase and lowercase letters for titles/headers, which is not good. I'm referring to: "From the Editors", "Best quote", "Best Picture", "Featured article", "Did you know...", "U2 News", "Project News", "Member News", and "New members", and their images. See MOS:HEAD, The Signpost, and the Main Page. The last part uses the class="hlist" that does not like long phrases because it tries to unwrap the words in each item within the list (FIXED), but this is just a very first draft. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 19:15, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Should I change the images? I don't get the part of the hlist thing Miss Bono ^{[hello, hello!]} 19:26, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Lou Reed

Yes, I got very emotional when I heard that Lou Reed died. He was totally authentic, and the music always came first for him, with the "music business" and the trappings of success second. I was blown away when I first heard the Velvet Underground album with the banana cover by Andy Warhol. It must have been 1969 and I was 17. His voice has always given me shivers. A real loss. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 15:11, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Yeah Jim, the man was great... so true and fantastic. I enjoy listening to the Velvet Underground's music... and I really really really love "Walk On The Wild Side" --by the way, it's been played as I write this comment-- ... Yesterday when I read about his death I was like, OMG what happened??!!... everything can change in an instant... when you less expect it. Miss Bono ^{[hello, hello!]} 15:23, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

He had been fighting liver cancer, I believe. Not sure of the exact cause of death. By the way, I will add sources to your sandbox draft later. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 17:04, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I read it this morning in our Lou Reed article. I am so sad. I told the news to my co-worker, she didn't know who was Lou Reed but I had to get that off my chest. Miss Bono ^{[hello, hello!]} 17:09, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
