Thank you, Ukexpat.

I have visited and edited Wikipedia pages for some time, but as far as the formatting of Wikipedia's site, I am unfamiliar with! Thank you for my talk page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Msfire (talk • contribs)

(whoops, forgot to put a subject)

Haha yeah, no worries! I forgot that I've had the account for a year until I saw my older contribs. I don't log in often or edit pages, so I have no idea how to use any of the templates or where to find many of the help or policy pages. I think I may even have older accounts somewhere, but I don't remember the usernames or passwords. I have a terrible time of remembering things at times. Msfire (talk • contribs)

Oh, I see those policy and help pages on my talk page now too. Thanks for those as well! Msfire (talk • contribs)

Non Notable Individual?

James H Brahney

I understand your job. But people do research the history of experimental test pilots. They also do research those who have acheived our nation's highest military honors. There are also those who research Vietnam history.

Lt Col Brahney received many honors that were not bestowed upon him by his family and friends, but by the military and the President of the United States. So I do not see this as a memorial.

I did edit it to exclude anything that seemed like a memorial. I am hoping this is more suitable.

He also served as editor of a major aerospace magazine, Aerospace Engineering. If that is not considered notable, I can edit it out.

But his military history is notable. I do not consider this man as a non notable person in history.

Maybe he is no Michael Jackson, I get that. But if you read it, you will see that he did have a place in aviation history. He is mentioned in various books about experimental flight but unfortunately I do not have all that information and I knew I was not allowed to mention that if I cannot footnote them.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Jim Neversink

Hello again,

did you assess the Jim Neversink article? If not, how do I find out who did it? I have made several improvements and would like to know if it might climb the scale - so if it was you, would you mind having another look at it?

Edit an Artists Page

Hello:

I am asking is it possible to edit or one of your editor's to edit the artists page at Tania Doko's request.

The information follows the documentation already existing however, new information needs to be updated. The back up links remain the same and others have been provided below.

The order of what has been placed there was current but does need to reflect the artist at present.

I would imagine that Wikipedia would want current as well as correct information concerning their pages.

I have included the changes that were OK'd via the artist. Links of support are included below.

Thank you,

[edit] Bachelor Girl

Main article: Bachelor Girl.

Bachelor Girl formed in 1992 when songwriter and record producer James Roche met vocalist Tania Doko.[1] Roche was creating a demo tape of a song he wrote for and Australian girl group, Girlfriend, and when his original singer canceled, he recruited Doko. The duo began writing and recording and put together a demo CD. They performed at several Melbourne showcases looking for a record deal and found a deal with Gotham Records in 1997, after Sony rejected them.[1]

In 1998 Bachelor Girl’s debut single, Buses and Trains,” was not only an Australian smash but an International hit as well. The song-writing chemistry between Tania and James was explosive and their double platinum-selling debut, “Waiting For The Day” won them the 1998 ARIA for Best Producer. In 1999, with 4 ARIA Award nominations and the APRA Award for Song of The Year & PPCA most played song on Australian radio (Buses & Trains), Bachelor Girl rode high on the airwaves and the charts as their debut release spawned five smash hit singles including “Buses and Trains”, “Treat Me Good’’ and the anthemic Australian classic “Permission To Shine”.

Bachelor Girl’s second album was called Dysfunctional (2002). A release which would include the featured hits “I’m Just a Girl” & “Drowning Not Waving”.

The band split in 2003 after the release of their second album proved less successful. A third album was recorded, though not released (A track from that album is available on Tania Doko's EP "To Whom it May Concern).

[edit] Popstars Live

Main article: Popstars Live.

In 2004, Tania Doko was joined by fellow musician John Paul Young as an artist mentor on a revised version of the Popstars television franchise. The show was intended as the Seven Network's answer to the then new success of Network Ten's Australian Idol. The idea of Seven's version was to provide a friendlier show, without the often harsh criticisms dealt by Idol. However, after the first airing attracted under 850,000 viewers nationally, the judges (Ian "Molly" Meldrum, Christine Anu and Shauna Jensen) were instructed to make their comments nastier and more direct. John Paul Young and Christine Anu refused, which soon resulted them both leaving the show.

As ratings continued to fall, the Sunday program was moved to Saturday, before being dropped altogether, leaving just a Wednesday night show. The failure of the series (especially when compared with the first season) is largely attributed to the bungled delivery of the live pilot episode, and fiery disagreements between the producers, Young and Anu.

[edit] She Said Yes Constantly writing, recording, and performing Tania put together a new album and a new electro rock band called SHE SAID YES (SSY). Joining her in the group were former Savage Garden drummer Karl Lewis and special guests Rexx Fernandex or Shannon Trottman. In 2007, the band toured with Darren Hayes on The Time Machine Tour, which was soon followed by an appearance on Channel Seven's breakfast show Sunrise. An EP was also released, with tracks including: All My Fault, Plastic, Disappointed, Popkillah, Potential, and the "Mr Lewis Remix" of All My Fault.

Later in 2007, the artist’s singing/acting talents landed her a role in ‘SERIOUSLY, the Pet Shop Boys Reinterpreted’, a production that would take her to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Her performances there garnered the artist rave reviews and endorsements from many people including the Pet Shop Boys themselves.

[edit] Solo Artist

After a string of live appearances post-Bachelor Girl, Doko released her first solo EP in 2008. To Whom it May Concern was the title of an unreleased Bachelor Girl track, and features as a bonus on the EP, with other songs including: Come Another Day, Disappointed, Permission to Shine, All My Fault and Blackwater Tears. The acoustic installment was released to coincide with the highly successful 2008 national tour “Let’s Get Together”. A tour which included Tania, Jon Stevens, Ian Moss and Jack Jones aka Irwin Thomas.

The first part of 2009 found Tania and DJ Darren Glen collaborating and completing the track “Curious”. Recently released digitally, Doko is taking the track throughout Europe in September '09. Tania’s powerful vocals can also be heard as she performs with The Veronicas on the single,” Don’t Say Goodbye” (Featuring Tania Doko).

Currently, Tania is working on her solo career and is managed by Robert Speed Productions Artist Management.

With her Bachelor of Arts degree, Doko uses her musical credentials to help disadvantaged young people in the juvenile justice system, alongside the Whitelion organization. She holds workshops at Parkville Detention Centre and has also created an annual free concert at Melbourne's Luna Park - Joy in the Park. All of which is designed to raise the profile of Whitelion's work, and to give young people a good time as well.

Objection to deletion of Tania Doko page

The material that is on Tania's page has all the proper authentication and was listed favorably.

We would not like her page to be deleted just because we wanted to add additions to her page.

We would prefer the page be left as is rather than have this removed.

She is an authenticated double platinum recording artist and the links within Wikipedia as well as out reflect this.

Please remove the tag for deletion from her page.

Thank you,

The Wikipedia Signpost: 21 September 2009

Thanks for the heads up! We are strictly compiling data from other sources and will continue to find better sources to present unbiased information. We'll take a good look at the essay policy and do some major editing in the coming days! Thanks Smgaynor (talk) 00:43, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tania Doko

Hello Ukexpat:

Thank you for your response. To be very honest with you I find this format rather confusing.

First, the original Tania Doko Wikipedia page was not revised, the actual revisions were not accepted. So, if this version was accepted in the beginning why is the Tania Doko page being re-directed to the Bachelor Girl page?

Does the re-direction mean the editors prefer one page as verses two different pages?

She is also an Australian artist so are the guidelines the same?

We believed that the links we provided were links that proved authenticity however, if these links are not enough. We would think that the original page of Tania's would be returned as verses being re-directed.

Could you explain this?

Also what does Non-Musician mean?

Can you let us know where we stand in simple terms on this matter?

Thank you in advance,

--Ussee (talk) 02:47, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tania Doko

Hello:

Thank you so much for creating the subpage. I have put the article together as you suggested and found all of the references and included them. I am at a complete loss though as how or what to do with it. The directions say if it is saved it is in plain view. I would like it to be reviewed to make sure everything is fine.

I do not know at present whether to save it in the sandbox or to what to do next. I have literally spent hours doing this so I hope you do not mind but I have placed a version here as I do not know what else to do at this point.

Would you review it and tell me the steps to place this back on Tania's own page. I would truly apprecitate all the help I could get to male sure all is correct and her page is placed back on its own.

Main article: Bachelor Girl.

Record producer James Roche met Doko as she was performing in a Melbourne pub in 1992. Roche was immediately impressed with the 18 year old's voice, and he invited her to provide the vocals for a demo track he was recording for Australian girl group, Girlfriend. The pair soon found they shared some song-writing chemistry, and Bachelor Girl was formed. [1]

Bachelor Girl scored a record deal with Gotham Records in 1997, and the first album, Waiting for the Day, was released on November 9, 1998. The first single, Buses and Trains, reached number 4 on the Australian charts, number 6 in New Zealand, 29 in Sweden and 84 in the UK. The song recently featured in Australian music-television station Max's Top 500 ANZACs (a countdown of the best acts of all time from Australia and New Zealand) at number 291.

The album spawned three more singles; Treat Me Good, Lucky Me and Blown Away. A further track, Permission to Shine, was released as a radio-only promo.

Bachelor Girl released their second album, Dysfunctional, in 2002. Two singles were released; I'm Just a Girl and Drowning, Not Waving. Unfortunately the album was not successful enough to secure a third release.

The band split in 2003. A demo track, To Whom it May Concern, from the never-released third Bachelor Girl album was featured on Tania Doko's 2008 EP (of the same name).

Tania Doko

Hello Ukexpat:

I did as you suggested and had another editor review the work.

He suggested making the lead paragraph more notible.After this he also said, "When you think it is ready, you can use the "move" tab to move it to mainspace. If you look for that tab now, you won't see it, but after you make three more edits, it will appear."

So, I deleted the second sentence (She is the lead singer of indie electro pop band She Said Yes, and also releases tracks as a solo artist.) The third sentence ( Doko is currently featured on the track, Curious, by Darren Glen)and replaced it with the fourth paragraph from (SOLO ARTIST)

(With her Bachelor of Arts degree, Doko also uses her musical credentials to help disadvantaged young people in the juvenile justice system. Doko , holds workshops at Parkville Detention Centre and has created an annual free concert at Melbourne's Luna Park - Joy in the Park.(5)(6))

I also made the last sentence under SHE SAID YES (The band recently performed their last show for 2009 at Priscilla's 153 in Prahran, Melbourne.) more concise.

This would be three edits.

My problem though is during this time there was a site glitch and the references I had in order and on the subpage page came up after the error on the page as an error and I do not know how to put the reference and top paragraph back the way it should be.

Would you be so kind as to help get the reference back as it was. Also, I have done the three edits the other editor suggested so will I then see the move tab so I can move it to main space? (Where will the move space appear?)

Here is the subpage User:Ussee/Tania Doko
