Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to List of 2000s one-hit wonders in the United States, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Char645 06:43, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Debbie Does Dallas

I reverted your edit on Debbie. Not sure why you put "suspected attack", but what you edited wasn't any kind of attack. FYI The DVD and Poster are two different images and both have a place on the page.

Image uploads

I noticed you've uploaded several images recently, like the nice addition to the Pink Floyd article. I just wanted to warn you that you need to add the source (ie. a URL, or a book/magazine if you scanned it yourself) of the image to the file as well as the fair use justification, or someone will flag it for deletion eventually. - dharm a bum 06:04, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yaz / Yazoo article

You're quite correct - Yaz was indeed what Yazoo was known as in the US. I was confusing them with Yazz (formerly Yazz and the Plastic Population). D'oh. Gordonjcp 08:53, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jimi Hendrix

I agree the article is important. If I had enough expertise to help edit I'd vote for it. Would you consider bringing your proposal to Wikipedia:Featured Music Project? It looks like exactly the sort of project for them. Cheers, Durova 01:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts

Hi, you reverted my edits on the One-hit wonders in the UK page, but without addressing my rationale as put on the talk page. So I'm reverting back until we can reach a consensus. Jdcooper 18:11, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, i suppose now i just come across as some freakish Babylon Zoo obessive. That section is strictly-speaking unnecessary, but I don't really mind either way. I make a point of not falling out with people on here, that would defeat the object of this project for me! Jdcooper 08:43, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Latin America won!

Image Tagging Image:Shai.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Shai.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 06:28, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the kind message

Thanks a lot for the message. It's nice to know that at least one person here didn't have a "Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out" attitude when I left. (Samboy, posting anonymously) 207.200.116.136 19:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great Steam Ariticle

Just stopping by to comment on the great article that you wrote about Steam. You have real talent! Hope that nobody plays around with this one! Better keep an eye on it for other ax-grinding "editors" who have been screwing around with it a lot lately! Used to like the Bananarama version too, and can't ignore the fact that they were pretty easy on the eye, either. Saw them in an interview and they still look great! - Ronny Stabile

(Removed sarcasm, personal attacks, libel, etc. by cyberstalker that was in direct violation of Wikipedia policies). - Cooperstown77

I was hoping that we could discuss on the Steam article's discussion page what you saw in my previous version of the article that you felt needed revision. --Fortheloveofhampsters 13:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being understanding about the Steam article. --Fortheloveofhampsters 20:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For everyone's information, Fortheloveofhampsters is obviously a sockpuppet with a vengeance. Making false and even libelous statements won't get him anywhere except trouble. I checked his user contributions tabs and the account was created after a controversy erupted in the articles concerning the Greg Bravo and the Steam band. It also shows that his only contributions were on these articles or any related links to them. - AAR

Dear Romeovoid:

I would like to understand better your reasons for changing the article Steam. I will check back on your talk page and check mine if you would like to discuss the particulars. Thanks.--Fortheloveofhampsters 05:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Romeovoid, doesn't this sockpuppet know that anyone can click on his “contribs” tab to see that his account was created just to attack the musician only after a controversy erupted? His crocodile tears are very obvious and he has done absolutely nothing else since the account was created in mid-June but attack Bravo and any links to his article which was deleted for obvious reasons (the attack of the sockpuppets at work). In my opinion that is probably more good than bad only because it was more of a circus from what all I can tell. Also, your correct information is supported by the liner notes for the "Steam" album reissued in 2003 on Repertoire (DIGI) and in other places. Apparently it was their only album and it went over like a lead balloon because it really stunk, but baseball keeps at least (the good) part of the song going! - Cooperstown77

Dear Romeovoid, To correct some misstatements, I began contributing to the discussion of the deleted Greg Bravo article in April after the article got a dispute tag. Cooperstown is right about me not contributing elsewhere yet to Wikipedia: the research on the song, Bravo, and the band Steam has taken up all the time I have spent on this site and I have not contributed elsewhere. As I have indicated above, I would like to have a discussion with you about your changes (since you have added interesting content). My major disagreement is how your version of the article, like the original article, fails to identify the lead singer on "Na Na Hey Hey". I hope that we can have a reasonable discussion and come to a consensus on the article. I do have a question for you? Why do you have a problem with indicating who the lead singer of "Na Na Hey Hey". You have included so much other detail and left this important issue nebulous?--Fortheloveofhampsters 14:40, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Romeovoid, I just want to give you heads up that I have reported Cooperstown77 for threats on my userpage to the administrator incident page. The report was not made because of our editing disagreements.--Fortheloveofhampsters 14:40, 28 June 2006 (UTC)--Fortheloveofhampsters 14:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of 2000s one-hit wonders in the United States

Remember to mark your edits as minor only when they genuinely are (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). "The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'." It would also be appreciated if you were to explain at Talk:List of 2000s one-hit wonders in the United States why you reverted my edit. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 21:02, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss the issue at Talk:List of 2000s one-hit wonders in the United States rather than inexplicably reverting every single edit you disagree with.
Stop marking edits as minor when they are not. You should also make it clear in your edit summaries when you are reverting someone. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 16:41, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Extraordinary Machine 21:11, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Duran Duran articles

Hey there, RomeoVoid! I've been doing a bit of work on the {{Duran Duran}} singles, standardizing the layout of the articles and blueing the red links. For the moment, I've left behind a lot of empty headings, and I could use some help filling in the information. I'll be working on them too as I can, but as you've worked on some of these articles in the past, could you browse through the articles when you get a chance, check my work, and add anything that seems to be missing?

No rush on this, but I'd be glad to have a little expert help. Thanks very much! — Catherine\^talk 17:48, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Beat Club

Nice page...looks like one of your babies...consider adding a full program list with the orginal airdates? The "Full List of performers" was not and still isn't complete...There is a full list available (in German) of the the shows at http://www.radiobremen.de/tv/beatclub/sendungen_liste.html.

Namal Udugama

I assume that you are a Sri Lankan like me. It would be nice to add a ogg file of Namal's hit song "Samuganne Naa" rather than the external RA link i put. I would be gratefull if you could do this, or else if you can provide me with the mp3 i can edit and recode it and upload giving full credit to you of course. I have his basayana sanda song, but I do not think it represents his best work. I created the Jayasri article which you might like to have a look and see if you can add more to it.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bill Cosby.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bill Cosby.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. I replaced the image with a free license image. This is preferable to Wikipedia. --Durin 16:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
