::Says the guy who engages in complex block-evading schemes so that he can troll the Internet over bands he doesn't like. LOL.--[[User:Halloween jack|Halloween jack]] ([[User talk:Halloween jack#top|talk]]) 05:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC) |

:::Important is only the correct genre, not my dislike for TBM. --[[Special:Contributions/87.122.21.55|87.122.21.55]] ([[User talk:87.122.21.55|talk]]) 07:45, 15 January 2008 (UTC) |

::::I ''have'' mentioned to you that you look really silly when you use insults like "kiddie" and "baby" to troll, haven't I? Maybe that makes sense in the cultural context German or whatever language is your native tongue, but in English it comes across as immensely childish; it's like you're saying "TBM fans are big poo-poo heads!" |
|||
::::By the way, you might ask yourself whether or not it really ''is'' a matter of life and death that band profiles on websites have genre labels that don't agree with your subjective opinion. I don't necessarily agree with every page's genre tags, but as long as it's in accordance with Wikipedia policy, I'm okay with it.

::I went and did some research and found that according to ALLmusic... they are [[Goth Rock]] and [[Alternative Rock]] you may add [[Synth Rock]] with a proper citation but do not remove the cited genres that are already there.--[[User:Dr who1975|Dr who1975]] ([[User talk:Dr who1975|talk]]) 17:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC) |

:::I see now that you were cursing for a different reason. Sorry. I am feeling similarily exasperated by the back and forth arguments about genre.

== Hi....It's Crescentia == |
|||
I am moving to Tennessee tommorrow so I probably won't be online for at least five days. Some of the motels I am staying at might have wireless, but I am not too sure. So, could you please keep an eagle eye on the list of gothic rock bands page? Pretty please? :-) Thanks! [[User:Crescentia|Crescentia]] ([[User talk:Crescentia|talk]]) 16:04, 10 June 2008 (UTC) |

== D&D articles for Wikipedia 0.7 == |
|||
Hi there! :) |
|||
As someone who's worked on D&D and/or RPG articles before, I'm inviting you to participate in our goal to both improve articles that have been selected to be placed in the next Wikipedia DVD release, as well as nominate more to be selected for this project. Please see the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons#Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for D&D|WikiProject D&D talk page]] for more details. :) [[User:BOZ|BOZ]] ([[User talk:BOZ|talk]]) 18:49, 24 September 2008 (UTC) |

[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left]] |
|||
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:File:Avengers196.jpg]]'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to [[:File:Avengers196.jpg|the file description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|fair use rationale]]. |
|||
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/Halloween jack|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-no fair use rationale-notice --> [[User:Sfan00 IMG|Sfan00 IMG]] ([[User talk:Sfan00 IMG|talk]]) 10:59, 10 May 2010 (UTC) |

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Strobelight Records]]== |

|||
A tag has been placed on [[:Strobelight Records]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about [[Wikipedia:Notability (summary)|what is generally accepted as notable]]. |
|||
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Strobelight Records|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. <!-- Template:Db-notability-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Epeefleche|Epeefleche]] ([[User talk:Epeefleche|talk]]) 02:49, 10 November 2013 (UTC) |
