Welcome to WP:CM!

Hello, Juliancolton!

We're delighted you've started contributing to this collaborative effort! Classical music is an active, medium-sized project with more than 9,000 articles.

We have a discussion page linked to the main project page where you may sign in. Please take part in our forum! The scope of the project is vast: nearly 1,000 years of history, numerous countries, and many languages. Some music editors use reference books such the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians, or the German Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart. These are helpful for checking facts and providing the essential references required on Wikipedia. We would greatly appreciate your collaboration in adding sources from these books. However if you don't have access to books, there are still many other ways you can contribute to the project: copyediting, compiling lists of recordings, picture and sound clip researching, etc.

We hope you have a great time on the Classical music Project. Please don't hesitate to ask us if you have any questions! We are always available here at your convenience.

Best regards!

Could you please help me?

Could I please "welcome" you using Friendly? Twinkle isn't working right now, and I'm worried that the same might be happening with Friendly. I tried welcoming myself, but the Friendly interface doesn't let me. So, I'll need a volunteer "test subject," if you don't mind. →Dyl @n 620 16:34, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?

Hello there have been many attempts to vandalise the entry for Abraham Pinter as evidenced in the history ie 25 and 31st of December the 7th January ist of february and so on.

What is considered vandalism.Breuerman (talk) 20:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your answer what time span is considered a short period of time as it was vandalised again last night.Breuerman (talk) 20:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks once more. Say, one I get the hang of rollback (and possibly Huggle), should we resume coaching? →Dyl @n 620 02:31, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to resume coaching tomorrow. I'm going to spend the rest of my night using my shiny new rollback button to annihilate vandalism, as well as doing other gnomish activities. →Dyl @n 620 03:10, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Olaf's Day

Can you add the Olaf's Day page back? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olaf%27s_Day). It was deleted and I do not believe it meets the criteria for deletion. It it admittedly incomplete, but it has a citation that validates its existence. I was in the process of commenting on the proposed deletion when the page was deleted.

I'm ready whenever you are. I'd like some replies to the old blocking lessons, first. Then, perhaps some speedy deletion lessons?

The 404

Ok, listen to this. The 404 page is being deleted for not having appropriate references, well the Buzz Out Loud has only has one external (from CNET) reference, and it doesn't load up, so... there are no external references. So if The 404 is deleted for no external sources, the Buzz Out loud should be deleted with it. Also the person who deleted it before (Feydey) said something that sparked my interest "P.S. I read somewhere that there are only 5 or maybe 6 people who actually get the 404 'cast. Bummer.". There is a problem with that, as I write (Thursday, February 2009 at 8:05 Central Time) The 404 is #22 on the top Technology podcasts. So... there is a reference http://i39.tinypic.com/2hrn3nq.jpg that is not from Cnet. If you want, look it up yourself. But please, let the podcast live.

The 404 (more info)

I got your message, and there is one problem. I have to admit I am a Wikipedia beginner and some things are like a new language. Things I don't understand is the "Add a new entry BELOW THIS LINE copying the format: ====ARTICLE_NAME====

UNDELETE_REASON Lugnut64 (talk) 02:29, 20 February 2009 (UTC) -->". What do I do with the "====ARTICLE_NAME====[reply]

UNDELETE_REASON" part as I am completely lost. Could you guide me through the WP:DRV steps. Sorry if I sound like an ignorant person, I just find some of this confusing. (this may be best look through the editing page, not the main page, so you can see the code)

Please semiprotect "business letter"

Yes, "Business letter" is the correct article. It has been persistently vandalized over the last year. The vandals are from various IP addresses and do things such as wiping out whole sections, then typing things like "hold on I'll type something later", or typing in their own name, etc. As soon as it gets fixed by someone they do it again. They must be getting a kick out of doing this.Jonnyhottrod (talk) 03:16, 20 February 2009 (UTC)jonnyhottrod[reply]

paroxetine protection

Sorry if this does not belong in your talk page. Before I made the request for page unprotection, I contacted the admin who protected the paroxetine page to get an explanation, but he did not respond. it seems he did not read the talk page to see the lively discussion, and instead just lock the page for a month. Seems he would have been better off putting a warning on the page or blocking the "vandal". Mwalla (talk) 14:55, 20 February 2009 (UTC)mwalla[reply]

Please upgrade your AWB usage to include a bot!

Slowly but surely, our team members are upgrading to bot usage. So far, Robert Skyhawk and Thehelpfulone have added a bot (AWB, activated to be a bot) to their tool set.

Bots are incredibly useful, since you don't have to sit there and press the "Save" button for each edit - it just does all the edits and saves automatically, so it can do the work in another window while you are doing something else. The more people on our team who have bots, the better. There is a great deal of bot-work on the country outlines, and you'll find many other uses for your bot after you get up and running.

Please take the plunge and go for bot approval. I'm sure the two guys above would be happy to assist you through the approval process.

The Transhumanist 22:28, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Julian, talk to me on IRC later today and I'll explain to you what you need to do - you don't need to code anything! To use AWB's bot feature, you need to get a bot account approved through WP:BRFA, once it's approved it's quite simple to add you. The Helpful One 11:13, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks! –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 15:19, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question about a block

You blocked by account indefinitely and I can't for the life of me figure out how to appeal it or even contact you. I am lolirockentertainment, existing for less than 24 hours, and would be more than happy to change my name. I just thought it sounded appropriate because I wanted to make pages for bands who recently signed to record labels. I'm not really a company or anything registered - not a promoter or pr guy or anything. I'm actually a journalist who enjoys writing about bands. I have a bachelor's degree, so I understand articles shouldn't have bias. I just wanted to share the information. I would like to legitimately have my username and IP address unblocked.Moved from userpage. PeterSymonds (talk) 22:29, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stanford page Blocked

I see that you have partially blocked the entry for Allen Stanford, and can understand the need - vandalism.

However, in the current circumstances, I think that the existing biography remains biased.

As a journalist, I would question the description 'philanthropist' in the intro section, and would like the word deleted as it paints the guy in an over generous light. Can be re-instated if he manages to ever clear his name.

There are now sufficient substantiated allegations that this guy is a frausdter.

However he cannot really be a philanthropist if it turns out that the philanthropy which was being described was based on fraudulently obtained wealth. In such a case, he is no longer a 'philanthropist' and the money being donated to good causes was not legitamately his in the first place. Please delete this positive label for the time being as it brings the neurality and accuracy of Wiki into disrepute.

I'm an occasional editor - I'm interesting in learning more about the process of who may block and unblock articles - can you point me to the info ...

thanks, Cloversmate (talk) 12:12, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article contains biased material, but it's not written in a biased way, so it's pretty much NPOV.--Patton^t/c 12:21, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
