Music as taught in the Philippines?

Hello Mediran. I noticed you were from the Philippines. Are you in any way familiar with the way music is taught in the Philippines, specifically the technical vocabulary used there in the teaching of music? Thanks. Signed: Basemetal00 (write to me here) 14:56, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Music taught in the Philippines is like any others. Mostly during high school, the music taught is traditional, native music from the Philippines and Asian music (e.g. Music of China, Music of Japan, M of Korea, etc.) You can see this and this and this PDF module for more detailed info. Thanks. Mediran ^{talk to me!} 23:34, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Mediran. Your links are very useful. I couldn't yet access www.bse.ph but the two other documents provide already a lot of what I wanted. I'm looking for material on musical education in East Asia as sources for Wikipedia pages that deal with music education and music theory because East Asia (including China) seems to be a growing area for education in and production and consumption of music (from the Western classical tradition, to native styles, through local pop, rap, rock, and what not). The Philippines are especially interesting because that country has the reputation abroad to be a very "musical" country, that basically Filipinos are nuts about music, so I was particularly interested in their curriculum and their methods of musical education. Thanks again. Wikipedia is just great isn't it? Cheers. Signed: Basemetal00 (write to me here) 05:34, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're much welcome! You can also access this about the Music Education in the Philippines. Thank you too of course, Wikipedia is great. Have a nice day! :) Mediran ^{talk to me!} 05:40, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

108.35.148.228

Some of user talk:108.35.148.228's edits do seem to be valid, there is a rate increase click on Toll increase Dec 2. A block request for the IP was previously declined. The IP is an issue... Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 02:38, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ummhhh... I should have reverted in good faith the user's edits hours ago. The problem is the user doesn't provide edit summaries like "changed rate per source" or so whatever. Good thing that the user wasn't blocked because the user has good edits at all. Thanks for your concern. I guess the IP was an issue. Have a nice day! :) Mediran ^{talk to me!} 02:45, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Evan Jerald

Hi Mediran! Good to see you active on Wikipedia! I was just wondering why added A7 on Evan Jerald and then removed it soon after. I think your tag is quite correct, but I'm wondering why you removed it? I was thinking of adding A7 to the article, but it seems somebody else has already added it. --Webclient101^talk 07:44, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi also Webclient101! I removed the tag I placed because I was in doubt with A7 because the subject has a bit notability with his position in Microsoft. Good that somebody has finally tagged the article with A7. Have a nice day! :) Mediran ^{Season's greetings!}

07:51, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, OK. The person just works at Microsoft, so that doesn't justify that the article is important or significant for Wikipedia. Don't doubt yourself, your doing great a job. I'll see you around, enjoy the rest of your day! (:

--Webclient101^talk 08:02, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WOW! Thanks for that! ;) Mediran ^{Season's greetings!}

Daily Grace "Byeeee"

Grace Helbig says "Byeeee" at the end of all her videos, as noted by another popular youtube user: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMbn-5oTc6s&t=1m56s 76.254.56.135 (talk) 23:23, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The source is no reliable, the note was just from a user from YouTube. Please provide reliable source/s for verification and your editing seems un-constructive as well, please see WP:EDIT. Thanks. Have a nice day! :) Mediran ^{talk to me!} 00:14, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

...500 more examples on http://www.youtube.com/user/dailygrace/

Your editing seems un-constructive as well, please see WP:EDIT. Thanks. Have a nice day! :)76.254.56.135 (talk) 02:15, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mediran. User 76.254.56.135 is right though. I've checked several of Grace's videos. And he's right also that Hanna mentions it. Why precisely did his edit need to be reversed? I don't get it. Is this such an important issue? It is true, and is not challenged. I think rules ought to be applied with common sense. Why aren't the videos themselves a good enough reliable source? Everybody can check them. How can you get more reliable than that? A guy comes and adds some information (which is true) to a page. It wasn't vandalism. Instead of thanking him, his edit is immediately reversed. Isn't it a bit discouraging to have it reversed immediately when he knows he's right? Don't bite the newcomer. I know I shouldn't get involved in this, but I can't stand injustice. I was just visiting your page for the references on musical education in the Philippines that you so very kindly provided, for which I thank you again and for which I am very grateful. Signed: Basemetal00 (write to me here) 09:32, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My concern with this edit made by the anonymous user is that it is unconstructive, so it is in the point of vandalism, I am not saying it is really vandal but yet it is uncontrctive, saying like "Byeee" with repeating "e"s, so I decided to revert it as vandal because I don't really know Grace Helbig a lot so I, of course as an editor reverted it, his edit was already reverted twice. My point is in Wikipedia, verifiability is important and should done as well. Common sense will do but come on, are we going to rely on that? No offense. In addition, I don't bite him, I am not tearing him apart, I am just doing my job as a Wikipedian to revert I feel something that is not right (of course, at that time, I don't know about the subject). Also, hello IP/anonymous user, you can revert, why don't revert it, it is the essence of Wikipedia, to edit what is needed and necessary. Have a nice day to the two of you! :) Mediran ^{talk to me!} 09:50, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mediran. "Byeeee", with repeating "e"s is just the way she pronounces it, with a long "ee" like in "see", "bee", "free", "tree", and so on. That's all that it was. An attempt to represent the funny way she says it. Btw, I have nothing to do with 76.254.56.135. It's just by accident that I stumbled upon this. If you want to talk to him directly you'd better go to his talk page, or answer his own message directly here, because he's not likely to read your answer to me, I don't think. Cheers, and thanks again. Signed: Basemetal00 (write to me here) 10:11, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because I don't know her, and I also certainly don't know those "Byeeee"s. BTW, you're welcome! Mediran ^{talk to me!} 10:20, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Autocade and Progress Automotive pages

Hello

You have requested 2 of my pages for speed deletion and I would greatly appreciate some feedback and understanding as to why. There is no bias in eiether - they are factual pages about a company and a product, and as such are useful should anyone search on wikipedia for information on either.

I look forward to your response Alex Knight 4/12/12 Alexpaulknight (talk) 08:39, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your concern. Unfortunately, both of your articles failed to meet notability, it doesn't claim significance either. Articles regarding web content and companies must have significance on why the article must have an article. The article also fails WP:GNG where articles must have sources for verification, it is one of the fundamental needs. Please see WP:A7, WP:WEB, WP:CORP or WP:V for more info. Please consider to use the Article Wizard on creating new articles. Thanks! Have a nice day! :) Mediran ^{talk to me!} 08:49, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another page which is particularly relevant in your case is WP:COI. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks your company and its product are notable. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:21, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Minister of Housing (New Zealand)

Hi, I got rid of the redirection from Minister of Housing (New Zealand) to Ministry of Housing because I think Minister of Housing should have its own page. Could you help me understand why that was bad? Cheers Ballofstring (talk) 09:18, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Leaving a page blank is bad. You may improve the page by editing it rather than leaving the page blank itself. I see that Minister of Housing was the previous name of its target, Department of Building and Housing. For me, the redirect has relevance. Please visit or see WP:BLANK for more info. Have a nice day! ;) Mediran ^{talk to me!} 09:25, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DNV Software

Hi Mediran. I think your speedy deletion request is a bit speedy. The company in question has 300+ employees and is an engneering industry software solution company that supplies most shipyards thropugh the world. It is among the largest companies of its class globally, and it will assumedly fall well within the criteria for notable companies. Apart from that, the article is started as a part of an editing course here in Norway, I will personally help the students to make this article less promoting. Kind regards, Bjoertvedt (talk) 10:04, 6 December 2012 (UTC), steward at no:wiki.[reply]

Hello! I think my speedy is fine. Let's wait for some admins if they will comply on the request or will just decline the speedy. As I saw the article before I tagged it, there were no such statements saying about its significance, please add sources for verification. The article also fails WP:CORP and WP:CORPDEPTH. You have said that you are doing "editing course" in Wikipedia? Remember that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and it not meant for test editing. Please use the sandbox or you may use a draft where it will be placed on your own userspace and not on the mainspace. Mediran ^{talk to me!} 10:19, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article fulfills all these criteria, in my view. Thanks for the sandbox info, in this instance I dodn't regard the article as having been a sandbox candidate, as it has been produced within a few hours with links, references, and all. Speedy deletion can be an option, but not towards first-time-ever editors who try to contribute. Kind regards, Bjoertvedt (talk) 14:04, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK! Thanks though and you're welcome!! :) Mediran ^{talk to me!} 08:14, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Westafricaguild

Hi, thank you for contacting me. Can you let me know the change you made? im wondering if you might be able to help me: Im trying to delete the page Maya Jobarteh from Wikipedia, as it was originally put up by someone that did not use the artist's correct name, using her second name instead of her first. The reason im looking into it is because I have had feedback that its confusing as google is sourcing wikipedia to list this artist, but under the wrong name. People are therefore thinking that perhaps they are two different people. This article "Maya Jobarteh" should have been taken down a long time ago - in fact by the person that created it, but i see that is still stands today. Do you have any suggestions?Many thanks, Sam — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westafricanguild (talk • contribs) 10:12, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! The reason why the redirect page Maya Jobarteh is targeted to Sona Jobarteh is because it was moved way back 2009. The article was first created with the title of Maya Jobarteh, then it was renamed to "Sona Jobarteh" as it is the real name of the subject. Please approach an admin to help you with deleting that. But I guess it must not be deleted as of this time as it is just a result of a move and also, I search it on Google, the name has relevance to the target page. Thank you! :) Mediran ^{talk to me!} 10:29, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:FrozenfaceoffSBSP.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:FrozenfaceoffSBSP.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your revert

Hi Mediran, regarding this revert, given the content of the page it was justified blanking (but I've tagged it for CSD now). Regards, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:34, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not vandalizing anything. One other user noticed me twice for putting personal opinions on that page. I accepted, even though I did not agree. I am trying to atualizate the page being as neutral as I can, but it isn't enough, so, I will stop. Sorry about it.
