Instead of removing the images this user included in the article, it might've been better to explain to him he needed to include a fair use rationale. The images or of sufficiently low quality that using them is allowed per fair use if a proper rationale is provided. - Mgm|^(talk) 16:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Use in a gallery is not considered fair use so I got rid of them. I didn't really check for fair use rational, and it is really a secondary thing. Thanks for your concern. --Zytsef 17:45, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Oregon music

Thanks for doing some long-needed cleanup on the Oregon bands. I do what I can here and there, but I'm not as hip as I used to be, and it's hard to keep up with all the fans' input. Happy editing! Katr67 00:55, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Diacritics

There was a rather large and blown up discussion at WT:HOCKEY about them. The argument against was, as you say, that the NHL/North America doesn't use them. The agreement was that NHL articles would hide them, but world hockey articles would show them. It is basically a hockey project specific agreement similar to the usage of Canadian/British/American spelling, depending on locale. Regards, Resolute 22:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate your invitation but...

Thank you for your invitation to get a user account. I appreciate the AGF you've shown towards the contributions/opinions of an anon. I do, in fact, have a lengthy edit history on Wikipedia around 50000 edits... 20000+ as an account... almost 30000 as an IP I abandoned my user account long ago after seeing a growing "anti-anon" movement and felt that this was totally opposite of what Wikipedia was all about. As often as I was reverting IP vandals... I was also seeing very valid IP contributions. I decided that if it was the encyclopaedia that "anyone could edit"... then an "anyone" was going to do just that. I am a librarian working at an Eastern Canadian University. When I stroll around with a laptop my IP tends to bounce around with the proxies. When I am in my office my IP is static.(IP 156.34.142.110) I am a rare IP user who has an active user page( simply for storing Barnstars I have never regretted my decision to go anon and have come to embrace the "purity" of editing without an account. (although as my good Wiki-friend Admin Wiki alf says... a static IP is almost better than an account in some ways... I can definitely be found if someone wants to find me) I have been here almost as long as there's been a Wiki to ge 'here' for. A casualty of my long dedication to this interesting little hobby is that my AGF is almost broken.. except for users who show they are 'true' to what Wikipedia is all about... in other words... no rule breakers, vandals, POV pressers, linkspammers, crufters and soapboxers... and... just as important... no "anti-anon" bias. I have many Wiki-friends including many admins(some who probably know me by my long dormant account) Slowly people have 'caught on' to what 156.34.X is all about. And hopefully I have rm'd some anti-IP bias in a few editors. I hope you can appreciate where I am coming from. I have gone so long without an account... I never consider going back to having one. The "encyclopaedia that anyone can edit" must also mean that "every opinion counts... regardless of whether it comes from an admin, a veteran editor, a newbie or yes... even us lowly anons :D . Have a nice day. 156.34.238.173 (talk) 01:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

The "treatment" I get is precisely why I am still here. Both the 'good' I get from Admins like Wiki alf and John and Daniel and Wknight and users like Scarian and Funeral... and the 'bad' from anti-IP trolls who just make me that much more determined to "stick it out" for the underdog :D. I haven't watched any television for years.(nothing on worth watching)... and with Wikipedia... there's drama, conflict, comedy, stupidity in abundance , soap opera and, of course, community. More entertainment value then you'll ever find on TV. Just look at the musician infobox talkpage :D ... now there's some comedy and drama, laughter and headache all rolled into one. Who needs TV?

Recent nominations for deletion

While I generally agree on the principle of exclusionism, I don't quite get your recent proposals for deleting Polyvinyl and 31Knots. The latter is a band who not only put out numerous releases, but also did extensive european tours (I saw them live twice in Germany), thus fulfilling two major criteria for being listed as "notable". Polyvinyl not only did put out about 150 releases, but also by rather notable artists (e.g. Of Montreal, Architecture in Helsinki, Mates of State, all on the link on the Polyvinyl entry). I agree that both entries are rather short, and sadly, I am in no way able to improve them (being only a consumer of both Polyvinyl and 31Knots-products), but the fact alone that both Polyvinyl and 31Knots are known by Europeans should show "why anyone should recognize" these two. I won't remove the proposals since I got caught in such wars before, but just wanted to provide food for thought ;) Have a nice day! --Lobber (talk) 13:06, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry that's you've gotten a negative impression of some wikipedians (at least that's what it seems from the wars that you mention). I'd like to say that most of us are resonable people, though. If you see a proposal for deletion that you don't agree with and you have legitimate reasons please go ahead and remove any {{prod}}s that you come across. That's what they're there for. If you remove one of these templates someone cannot just add it back and must go through Articles for Deletion review instead where an article (especially if it's a notable band or label) is much less likely to get deleted. Once you remove one of these template please leave a note on the article's talk page about what you did. Remember, be bold. If someone is a dick as a result then it's easier to get help.

Anyway, I'm glad you brought it up instead of doing nothing. I'm going to mention something about international tours in the 31Knots article, even if it's unsourced at this point. I'll also mention AiH and Of Montreal in the Polyvinyl article to try to flesh it out. I know they're mentioned in an associated list, but it always helps people who come along and want to delete if there's an assertion of notability directly in the article. Also, please consider doing some research for these articles. Just a few interviews or other peices of press (reviews are ok, but I sort of like more general stuff better) to add to these articles. Sort of like what I've done to create, expand, and improve the Epoxies and Dirtnap Records articles. I'm nothing more than a consumer of their music either, but I think I've done some good there (actually, I think Dirtnap is probably a little "less" notable than Polyvinyl, now that you mention it). Keep up the good work! Zytsef (talk) 18:05, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement/clarifications. I've provided some references for the tour as well as an (english) interview on a german site, hope that'll suffice. And I'm not prone to generalizing any negative experiences with some wikipedians, I know that most people work really hard, but sometimes it's plain ridiculous (e.g. the people who wanted to remove the UK Subs entry due to missing notability), esp. when it's plain that the person requesting the deletion has no idea of the topic they're meddling with (which, of course, is not the case here). Anyway, thanks again for your work, Regards, --Lobber (talk) 18:51, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Looks great. I've never thought of using data from last.fm as a source. That's a good idea for recent stuff. I'm glad I could be of service. Please feel free to ask about anything you come across as I've gained a little experience dealing with band article lately. Best regards. Zytsef (talk) 18:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

"Honourary"

In fact, "honorary" is the correct spelling worldwide. See honorary degree, or any dictionary. --John (talk) 00:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's debatable as most spelling peculiarities are in English. See American and British English differences#Spelling, and even then it doesn't cover all the permutaions of when to drop or keep the "u" that see common usage. You'll find "honourary" used occationally by the Canadian government, like this random thing I found on the PM's website, here. In other words, wikipedia is not a reliable measure of what is standard spelling in a given situation. This is all purely for the sake of argument, of course, as I don't particularly care how it's going to be spelled in a relatively minor article. Zytsef (talk) 00:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

In fact, you can even find examples of the two spelling coexisting in the same work, like this BBC news story. English is fascinating stuff. Zytsef (talk) 00:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Even the BBC suffers typos! --John (talk) 00:47, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Edit to Mosin Nagant

I belong to a Forum called Gun and Game, and users there have made frequent reference to a M1891/10 carbine, and one person claims to have one, and I have looked at it, and it has the correct features that match it to the M91/10.

Search for Ordinance Corps Mosin Nagant Manuals and find one that is in PDF format, and read thru it, the M91/10 is there —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theburbonator (talk • contribs) 16:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Alan Vega birthdate

As you may know Alan Vega's birthdate is currently listed as 1948. There appears to conflicting evidence - the official book - versus the currently sourced Blast First Press Release.

Surface of Eceon

Hello. I'm working on the backlog at CAT:NN and came across this article. Thanks for tagging it for notability back in 2008. I looked it over but wasn't sure if it met guidelines. You may want to take it to the Notability Noticeboard or AfD to get it resolved finally. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 20:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Recent Edit at Guelph

FYI, see WP:R#NOTBROKEN, your edit was unnecessary.--NotWillyWonka (talk) 23:33, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

You'll notice that the explanation you helpfully provided is talking about how it's good to avoid piping a link so it doesn't redirect. I didn't edit to add a pipe, so I'm not sure I see the relevance. I changed the link to avoid the redirect in case the WFTDA Apprentice Program article gets moved again. Then we won't have to fix all the double redirects. If it really bothers you, feel free to revert it; it really won't hurt my feelings. Zytsef (talk) 16:34, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

It talks about both piping and redirects, most people also pipe to avoid a redirect, either way it's a waste of time, the system is set up to handle the redirect, and it's a good indicator of many things - with or without the pipe.--NotWillyWonka (talk) 00:50, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
