Re: The Labor Split III - an offer you can't refuse

Lol, I'll do what I can. This isn't my area of expertise though. I was listening to Kim Edward Beazley's memoirs (narrated by his son) that I received as part of the second prize for a quiz night, and I kept on coming across this Alan Reid fellow ... so I thought he *needed* a Wikipedia article!

Vagrancy (people)

My edit summary was hardly misleading, it was lazy and empty, but the edit was hardly nonconstructive as it removed a very biased, unsourced (the only source were for statistics counterproductive to the arguement). 174.112.18.193 (talk) 03:10, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Bryce Retzlaff

"notes" section for image files on commons?

Hey all,
The article Genesis Suite currently has a number of "see copy in the commons" mentions. Those mentions have been arguably adequately referenced in the main referencing of the article; what is needed is link/s to those commons files. So, how do I do this? {{helpme}}--Shirt58 (talk) 13:10, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shirt58. You can pipe a link to the commons images referred to. To pipe a link directly to a commons media file without having the file display, you simply need to prefix a colon in the link code. So, for example, where it says in the article currently "see copy in the commons", you might change this to "see [[:File:exact name file|copy in the commons]]". I assume all of the images of the documents are in the Commons category for Genesis Suite. Here I am attempting to provide a mechanical solution to your question, but I'm not 100% sure the article's in-text referral to these images is the best way to go.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:30, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For your review

When discussing films or actors who do not quite yet have the coverage to merit inclusion, you might consider referring to WP:TOOSOON rather that WP:HAMMER as the former deals with actors and films and the latter deals with albums. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cryingwind

It was a tough call, since they were editing productively. I almost just left a warning, but I realized it wouldn't be fair to everyone else I've blocked for the same reason. Daniel Case (talk) 14:24, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The problem here is that "Crying Wind" is a notorious fraud, and the editor of the same name was desperately trying to cover up that fact by purging the article of any useful information. I've removed the unsound links, and provided links to solid reliable sources about her scamful history. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:15, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about what was somewhat of an overreaction in those discussions. My problem was that I was trying to participate constructively in the discussion, but all I saw was people attacking Dylan F, some quite rudely and irrationally. I saw no sensible response at all to what I suggested, just continued attack on someone else. I guess I misjudged you as another who was ignoring what I posted.

Vandal-fighting

Thanks for your vandal-fighting on Messiah. Something to look out for - some IP addresses like to renew their IP mid-vandalism. This makes it so that if someone rolls back their edits, their first edit (made under a slightly different IP) doesn't get reverted. All that to say - be careful what version gets reverted/rolled back to, because they're crafty lil vandals... anyway, thank you!

Banu Israil

They are a Shaikh biradari, as endogamous Muslim groupings in North India are referred to. They call themselvees Bannu Israil, which is Arabic for children of Israel, while Jewish communities in India use the Hebrew Bene Israel, which also meams children of Isreal. The Arabic usage reflects the fact that they have converted to Islam.

Plea for help: Concerto for Trombone

Hello, Peter.

You provided some help to me when I rewrote the article Genesis Suite which you created, and it would be greatly appreciated if you could help me with an article on another Shilkret classical composition, Trombone Concerto (Shilkret).

I wrote the article in June 2010 and included a table of concert performances of the piece. More than a dozen people have made useful small edits of the article since then. Two days ago Melodia deleted the entire table.

It is common for wikipedia articles on musical compositions to list their usages. The frequency of usage and the stature of the artists, motion pictures and other users of the work provide documentation of the importance of the composition. As an example I looked at 1931 in music (the year chosen at random from a period with which I am somewhat familiar). Links to many of the songs listed, e.g., Dream a Little Dream of Me, Heartaches, and I Don't Know Why give fairly extensive lists of recordings (with no references).

For the Concerto for Trombone, the most extensive modern usage is in concerts, where it has been performed by noted soloists and concert orchestras worldwide, and the list of performances thus provides useful documentation of the importance of the composition and belongs in the article. My stated source of information is the contracts these organizations enter into in order to perform the composition. Again using the 1931 in music article for comparison, I followed the link to Stravinsky's Violin Concerto in D to find the premiere performance was listed with no reference. I have copies of the contracts, but for privacy reasons I can not include complete copies of the contracts on the wikipedia commons.

I reverted the deletion of the table, and Melodia deleted it again. Is there a way I can appeal this? Thank you for any help or advice you might have. You are welcome to reply in my talk page or yours as you find convenient. Niel Shell (talk) 18:08, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If, as seems likely, you had a hand in starting the discussion in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music#Listing off all performances concerning my list of performances, thank you for giving me a forum to present my case. Niel Shell (talk) 22:05, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cristóvão de Aguiar

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Cristóvão de Aguiar. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Cristóvão de Aguiar

The article Cristóvão de Aguiar has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Mhiji 01:35, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
