That google book thing

I can't believe I've never been there before... how many pages do you get to see before it shuts you out? there's all kinds of stuff scanned by Google. Holy @#$%. /me feels like a n00b. Antandrus (talk) 21:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

This your IP???

The Erotic Network

Hey Buddy, where's my article, why did you delete it?? I see no justification for deleting it, spam my a$$!! Why don't you write a better one, instead of going around deleting other people's articles. Under what authority can you delete articles, I would like to know??? HeMan5 04:38, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I deleted it because it seemed like it was solely for promotional purposes, it's a porn network, which are a dime a dozen, and the only "references" were to the parent company, rather than an neutral independent source. Spam is now a speedy deletion criterion. I was made an administrator by the Wikipedia community, who entrusted me with power to delete things, an action which can, of course, be reversed by the community or another administrator.

Montpellier Codex

Hi, you posted a little hello note on my talk page, I think it must have been after I wrote the Montpellier Codex article. I'm not entirely new to Wikipedia, but just this week I saw a number of rather gaping holes, a few of which I decided to patch. I am more or less entirely new to the community aspect of the site. So, hello! Chubbles1212 04:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

GA?

Hi, Makemi. If I could borrow 2 minutes of your time - I would like one more pair of eyes on Agrippina (opera). I'm just about to put it forward for GA, but I'd like someone else to check that there isn't anything particularly grotesque that a GA reviewer would bawl me out for. If you could just check this article out for me, that would be great.

The thing that really cheesed me off was that I wrote this from ONE source - and I have to provide a load of inline cits. Inline cits are wonderful, but not when there's only one source involved. Then it's not a little stupid. Anyway. If you could give me the green light for GA, I'd really appreciate it. Cheers, Moreschi 18:43, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll look at it now. Mak (talk) 21:28, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

This

Sorry for that blank space, my fault. --Emx 18:31, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Early

I'm one of those bizarre people who likes to see the sun rise. It's quiet at this time and I can think about stuff and write without being bothered by the phone.  :-) Having heard you sing, at least via .ogg, I have complete faith in you. Wish I could be there .... Antandrus (talk) 15:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok then, I won't bother you with orange bars either :) Have a fun day, think of me 2-ish EST. Mak (talk) 15:18, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

whyyyy Thank you! I didn't realize that. Hey. I got a question for you, maybe? I want to (re)submit Dallas, Texas for FA status.. How does one get a peer review done of an article? Thanks drumguy8800 C T 03:09, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Flourishment

[1] -- how are you going to handle the "fl. xxxx-xxxx"? I always have trouble with this. Once upon a time the List of Renaissance composers was in birth order (someone changed it, rather to my annoyance, but I haven't changed it back) -- anyway it's a problem I haven't solved. Any thoughts? Antandrus (talk) 04:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Ach, I don't know. I was thinking of asking you. Also, the people who only have a known death date are a problem. I'm really just trying to do it to help with categorizing, and making sure they're on the correct "List of x composers" lists, so being exact isn't that important. I might just put the flourishing people with people who were probably born around the same time (figure at least 16 years before flourishing, and just kind of smack them in).

BTW, nevermind about that link, I found out about it when I was at the concert, and then they were rebroadcasting it once, but that's over now :( Arrrr, it was ok, I never know how to feel about concerts. I could have done better, maybe, but there were no mistakes which would be obvious to someone who didn't know the piece, I think. There were, of course, microphone problems, but they weren't a huge deal. Mak (talk) 04:26, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Still wish I'd heard it.  :-) I was having family dinner so I was late anyway; I can get the stream if I open a port in my firewall.

Previously I'd been adding 20 or 25 years to the initial fl. date to put them in the list if they were composers, so sounds like we had the same idea. Another possibility is having separate headings "17th century birthdate not known" "18th century birthdate not known" etc. But it's more useful than simple alpha order I think.

baroque quetion

Thanks, but I think I shold just find the answers myself now because its probably going to be considered cheating by my teacher. # BROWNSAY SOMETHING!!! | 13:58, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

?

How do you archive your page? Shadin Thanks! Shadin was clueless

Need assistance

I talk to you because you greeted me when I (finally) signed up months ago.

I have an administrator that chastised me, undid my edits, and referred me to the style manual - which shows that I was completely correct in what I did. Now, this admin will NOT respond, and I have said that I am now going to let the sloppiness, misspellings, bad grammar, and poor writing go unedited by me.

Isn't there an element of responsibility involved with being an admin? Apollyon48 06:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Sometimes admins get busy in Real Life at times that are annoying to other users. No one has an absolute obligation to spend any time on Wikipedia whatsoever. I can't see where this conflict is taking place. If the admin was incorrect and doesn't say anything more, I suggest you just be bold and follow the appropriate guideline. Admins don't actually have any extra editorial control or even insight than any other editor. I don't see that there's anything specific I can do for you, other than suggest you simply continue editing, and not necessarily press for an apology. Mak (talk) 20:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Wonder why you delete my page as it is as important as your page which talk about your personal musical interest.
