User talk:Antandrus
Hello! Please leave me new messages at the bottom of the page. I usually notice messages soon, and I usually respond on your talk page if it is something urgent, so you get a "you have new messages" notice. For casual banter I am just as likely to respond here.

Couple questions
Firstly, I've been going over some more minor composer articles, mostly using Grove Online for a reference. Should I put a Grove Online reference, and delete older Grove 1980 reference, or have both, or just leave the old one?
Secondly, I've been thinking I might want to become an admin some time in the future. Any advice? Thanks, Makemi 23:20, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think I've got about 2000 in the article space (not quite sure, since I seem to end up making a lot of edits in the User_talk space because of vandals). But I think it won't be three months for about a week. I'm pretty close, though. It seems like the criteria for adminship have gotten a lot stiffer. I've looked at some older RfAs, and peoples' criteria was 2 months and 1000 edits. I think the only annoying editing disagreement I've gotten into was that Chopin guy who's constantly trying to add the false date in the intro, but I think that's a pretty clear case of a troll. Thanks for the vote of confidence :) I'll wait a bit for adminship, and let you know when I've solidly hit the milestones. Happy editing! Makemi 23:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Belated, but thanks for caring for my User Page from a vandal! TKE 05:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Thank you so much
...for reverting the Flattbush page from a vandal's nonsense. It also seems that the discussion page there is being vandalized by the band itself. I will constanty monitor these people and their attempts to silence the discussion page. Thanks again for your impeccable work. -Stabinator 17:07, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Tawkerbot2
Thanks!
We're working on fixing it's one big issue right now, no auto warnings, we're going to give something like
Your recent edit was automatically detected to be vandalism. If you continue to vandalize, you will be blocked. If you feel you have recieved this notice in error, please contact contact us at Tawkerbot2's talk page.
- Ok, we set it in "angry mode" which overrides its one revert rule on the communism vandal so it should auto revert every time (within 10s I think).
Do you think the warning message is ok or should we toughen it up a little? -- Tawker 03:54, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Just rv 2x new vandalism for this recently reinstated user that you had previously blocked. Thought I would let you know it has done little to curb his ways. -- Mike 02:03, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello
Well when I went to his page, i was surprised that no one had mentioned the initial rejection (some of which he never recovered from). But to make sure that it really was common knoweledge, I checked my mom's Volume Library. (1987) Sure enough there it was. The church of which we was a member of during his adult life was very orthodox and oftin outragious. Today is my first day, so I hope I didn't do something wrong. I'll ask my piano instructor come Friday. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Blitzball Monster (talk • contribs) .
Thanks for the Barnstar!
I really appreciate the recognition. It's been a lot of work at times, but thankfully I've had a lot of help from fellow Wikipedians in handling the problem. Thanks again, OhNoitsJamieTalk 04:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Follow-up query
Hi, Katie from Milwaukee Magazine here. I was wondering if you could tell me what universities you got your degrees from. It just looks a little empty to my eye without it. You could email me at kathryn.pelech@qg.com or just post it here; I'll check. Thanks! -Katie

Trobairitz
Thanks a lot. I'm actually contemplating getting it to FA status, but I'm waiting for a couple books to show up before I really know whether there's enough to say, etc. There's a lot of debate about attribution, and Dronke (in 1984) talks about the historic habit of attributing the work of women to men (as in the tradition of giving tons of credit to Hildegard's male secretaries). It looks like the first real work on these women was in the eighties, although they were separated out in some early (although not contemporary) chansonniers. Again, thanks.

Peer review
Hi Antandrus,
I wonder if you could pass the word along, or perhaps help out with this new idea coming out at Wikipedia:Scientific peer review - there are a number of Wikipedians trying to make a viable body of reviewers on Wikipedia - maybe you might find it interesting? --HappyCamper 12:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

What OP check did you use on that one, it didn't show as open on my quickscan, I'm running a nmap now to confirm but it doesn't seem to be open, might be a zombie though or a private proxy -- Tawker 03:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back! You were gone for so long! ;) About the adminship thing, here's my Interiot, let me know what you think. If you think I should wait a bit, feel free to say so, better later than a really really nasty RfA. Thanks, Makemi 02:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

- I don't recognize him. In fact, at first glance it seems to be a new vandal, but the Evolution page and related pages get a lot of junk, so its hard to keep track of them all. JoshuaZ 05:15, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Charles Ives FARC
The article Charles Ives has been listed on Wikipedia:Featured article removal candidates (Wikipedia:Featured article removal candidates/Charles Ives), by me, as it has no inline citations and thus does not meet the featured article criteria at Wikipedia:What is a featured article?: "A featured article has the following attributes" 2.b. "'factually accurate' includes the supporting of facts with specific evidence and external citations...these include a "References" section where the references are set out, complemented where appropriate by inline citations."
I'm writing you because you contributed to the article. If you did the latter you may be able to add inline citations where appropriate much easier than someone unaquainted with the sources used. I thought you might be interested in the FARC or in saving the article from FAR by adding citations. Thanks. Hyacinth 11:47, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I've just created this article, and noticed that everywhere within wikipedia this and seconda pratica are spelled with 2 T's. Grove Online has 1 T, Grout 6th ed. (yeah, I know, It's what I have) has 2 T's in the index and one T in the actual text, and Weiss Taruskin source documents has 2 T's, but it's a bit older. I'm tempted to go about linking prima pratica and Stile antico, and at the same time standardizing the spelling to "prima pratica" and "seconda pratica". Thoughts? Opinions? I'd put it on an article talk page, but I don't know what article people would be watching. Makemi 02:09, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- You're right, there's probably no "right" way to spell it, but is it better to leave the spelling as-is and just link it, letting it redirect, or is it better for me to change the spelling since I'm going to be editing anyway? Makemi 02:26, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks.
Thanks for reverting the vandalism here. Odd... I don't seem to have any idea why he singled me out. I don't think we've ever crossed paths. Oh well. Thanks again, my friend. --LV (Dark Mark) 14:38, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

3RR Violation
How's it going? I'm writing to you because you I see that you are an administrator who takes quick action ie you got rid of a vandal at one of the pages I edit. However there is another vandal at the Joseph Sobran page. Here's the significant info for you:

Yes, the Joseph Sobran page is a controversial article....but there can be no order when people violate 3RR. It doesn't allow the "community" to express it's point of view in balance with each other. Anyway, I've tried to find someone to take a look at this to no avail. Hope you can take care of it.

comment on October 15
I saw your commented-out note asking people not to add any births for people who didn't already have a wikipedia article, and got all nostalgic. When I started here in early 2003, finding red-link people in day articles, which were littered with them when such articles existed at all, was one of the major ways I discovered new articles that needed to be created - it was a sure-fire way to find something that needed to be done, when I had 10 minutes for a bit of wiki-ing. How things change! - DavidWBrooks 11:21, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Tartini's terzo suono on Beat (acoustics): can you help?
On Beating (acoustic) there is the phrase playing pure harmonies on the two upper strings like a c against an open e-string whose exact meaning I cannot figure out. As a violinist, could you explain it to laymen?--Army1987 21:05, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Sound files
Wanna check out if you think these sound files would add anything to their intended articles? They're recorded live, so they might not be high enough quality. For Buxtehude, for Hildegard of Bingen, for Campion, for Etienne Moulnié and/or air de cour, for Cantigas de Santa Maria, and for Leonin/Perotin. They're all pretty big, especially "Wo ist doch", so careful. Thanks, Makemi 22:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey man
Hey man,
Thanks for your note. I understand that you're not a fan of 3RR, but I've been having some problems with User: Badlydrawnjeff. He's been using rather distateful language around the encyclopedia and even seems to have been throwing around threats. Again, he seems to be a staunch defender of individuals such as anti-semite Joseph Sobran and others. Thanks for your time.

Administrative duties
Ok, so I've been double checking the Speedy deletion criterion, and I'm a little mystified as to why I can't speedy delete images such as Image:Bonk to the Future.jpg, which was uploaded only for use in a really dumb vanity page, which was speedily deleted (by me once, and Francs 2000 twice). Is it because they can't be undeleted.Cheers, Makemi 21:52, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- What's your understanding of "vandal" images? Just curious. Ivan Shokoloff seems plausible to me. Frankly I don't know much about minor twentieth century Russian composers, but a number of things make sense, which I wouldn't necessarily expect from a hoax. Firstly, the whole Russia to Cuba thing is logical, the time period is right for twelve-tone music and influencing Milton Babbitt (although I'd definitely want a better source on that). And that whole thing about being a better plumber than composer makes sense for the USSR, since I'm pretty sure they decided who worked at what. I wouldn't be that surprised if the current Grove didn't include this guy, as he seems pretty non-notable, but probably not to the extent that he's deletable. If I knew cyrillic I'd check the Russian wikipedia, but I don't. Cheers, Makemi 23:01, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[[insert text]]
i should have explained what i was doing to somebody, as you know the newest button on the editing toolbar is the #R button, which adds #REDIRECT [[Insert text]] into wherever it is used, and since periodically people missuse those buttons for various reasons, for instance creating headers titled == Headline text == and so on, all accidental, since this is the first time doing so will actually create a defunct link, I thought it might be appropriate to redirect [[Insert text]] to the same place all defunct wiki links seem to go, namely to Bad title--Minor copy edit name 22:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- If this works out you might also consider protecting it, similar to Wikipedia:Bad title itself, that way people can leave any concerns or questions they may have on Wikipedia talk:Bad title--Minor copy edit name 23:04, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

A tool for leaving warning messages
Hi. I noticed that you actively revert vandalism to articles. Thanks!! I also noticed that in at least one case (Henry VIII of England) you didn't leave a warning message on the vandal's talk page. I think it's important to leave messages in almost every instance of even the most minor inappropriate edits for for several reasons.
But leaving lots of messages can be tedious, even with the templates documented at Wikipedia:Vandalism. So I've made some vandal-warning tools that are explained at User:Kbh3rd/Vandal_warning_toolbox. A list of warnings can be added to that toolbox menu on the left whenever a user talk page is being edited so that the proper warning message is only a click away. You might like to try it out.
Thanks again for your help! --Kbh3rdtalk 04:27, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

- No, I don't think so. You registered a doppelganger of Jimbo Wales, right? With the funky "i" character? It got blocked by Curps's bot, so you got caught in the autoblock (since it used the same IP as you). You admitted that you did it, and gave the reason why, so no problem, at least I don't think it's a big deal. :-) Antandrus (talk) 00:16, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Ok cool, cheers, glad to have that cleared up, is it generally Wiki policy to block doppelganger accounts on sight, as though I expected the accounts legitimacy to be challenged mabye beofre i got the template up, I didnt expect to be blocked before I could edit the page Philc 0780 00:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Santa Barbara Meetup
Hello Antandrus. Since you're a participant in WikiProject Santa Barbara County, I thought you might be interested in the Santa Barbara Wikipedia Meetup on Saturday 8 April. Please see that page for details. I hope to meet you there! Angela. 10:15, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for the kind words about my work. I figured we would cross paths eventually... and indeed I would be interested in a meetup. I have already signed up. Why don't we give Angela the option of where to meet? (If she's on campus all weekend, she may want a change of scenery, or if she's tired, maybe she'll want to meet somewhere near her hotel--just a thought.) Then the local participants can decide from there. I'm open to any of the suggestions on the meetup page, although being on a student's budget, the cheaper the better as far as I'm concerned. Looking forward to it, --Rockero 01:30, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. If I may, two more images need speedy: Image:Harry Potter - danr.jpg and Image:Harry Potter - Harry Potter - danr.jpg
- You're welcome--I just deleted another one of those. The only reason I didn't speedy the last one is that it has been placed on IFD; it seems that there is a loophole in deletion policy (unless I'm missing something) where I can't speedy the last copy of an image, even if it was used only for vandalism.

Matt Leinart Vandal
As a heads up, I put in a checkuser request to affirm it's one user. Of course, do not comment my submission on its page. T K E 00:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

A Void
I just saw your addition to my talk: many thanks for your kind words. You did spot that it wasn't just my contribution's summary that was lipogrammatic, didn't you?! It's a pity that A Void's story is not worthy of high acclaim, not to say disappointing; I think it must gradually dawn on any individual slogging through it that its main claim to notability is its author's adroit, not to say cunning, navigation around his constraint, and not his plot construction! As you rightly said to Kat, "Oof"! This is not to gainsay that its author's (and translator's) virtuosity brings its own satisfactions. And writing lipogrammatically, if it is apt, is, I found, a fairly good form of brain-workout! --Sock1 (or is that 2?) ♬ talk

A little detective work
Hi Antandrus!
I wonder if you could do a little detective work for me...at your convenience, could you find out whether User:71.139.197.127 and User:71.141.34.204 and User:71.139.169.121 are all related to each other? Edits from this IP range seem to be coming from the same user, and I suspect it is a roaming IP of some sort. Let me know if you find anything interesting! --HappyCamper 23:46, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- Is there an IP range block that would be effective? Do we know whether there are legitimate users on the same range? --HappyCamper 00:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, okay. Never a dull moment on Wikipedia - that vandal is new to me. --HappyCamper 00:42, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Happy First-Edit Day
Hi Antandrus, happy First-Edit day, and congratulations on making it through 2 years of Wikipedia editing with little Wikistress at all. From a fellow Esperanzian --«Θ» zeerus 00:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
