Archiving

Just thought I'd give you a hand with archiving. Made it look tidy. Hope that's ok.--Crestville 19:50, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Most certainly, Graduate Crestville. (What´s your title?) I thank you from the bottom of my wallet (which is empty) most profusely. Small changes are made by great men. I thank you. andreasegde 20:28, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Question

I wanted to use the Guardian as a source on global warming about a year ago, and was told it was akin to the American tabloid "National Enquirer". Do you know if that is in fact true? Is the Guardian considered a reliable newspaper by most people in Great Britain? Ramsquire 21:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh yes indeedy, The Guardian is right up there with The Times, and is a very well respected paper. (It´s slightly conservative.) The Independent and The Daily Telegraph are also well-respected. The papers that are like The National Enquirer are The Sun, The Daily Miror and The News of the World. (The last one has headlines like "Vicar in sex probe shocker...")

Try these: [1] [2] [3]

To compare I´ll give you these as well : [4] [5] [6]

Happy reading. andreasegde 09:09, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Nixon aides

I suggest that the list be made compact (several names per line) and kept at the end. Rjensen 17:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Fine by me. andreasegde 18:26, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Yorkshire colloquialisms

I have made a start, you can have a look at what has been done here User:GordyB/Sandbox.GordyB 14:21, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Just be a little careful, you've added quite a few words that aren't Yorkshire words 'back passage' is a term in use throughout the UK. If you can find it in a UK Standard English dictionary then it probably isn't a dialect word.GordyB 21:56, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I didn´t ADD them, I looked them up, and added a link. Careful? We´re the only two people working on it! :) andreasegde 21:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Ahhh... I just looked at your sandbox work, because I overlooked it before. Sorry.

If I can be honest for all of us I would say that it´s a monumental piece of work that has to be done. Mammoth. (There some words in the sandbox - like Clemmy - that I have never heard of, BTW.) Problems:

• "nonstandard pronunciation information which should be rewritten using the International Phonetic Alphabet." If it’s not a problem now, it will be later.
• The oft-written comment that it should be split up into sections (north, south etc.)
• The certainty that editors will constantly come along and “lob” words in willy-nilly.
• Vandals.

If you wish to proceed, I wish you all the best, but it seems all uphill to me. Best of luck. andreasegde 05:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

It will take a long time but it is do-able. Every article gets vandalised and gets inappropriate edits - no difference really.

Splitting the section into dialect areas is not practical, most 'Leeds dialect' words would probably also be 'York dialect' words. North Yorkshire is too vast an area to call one dialect area: Skipton is a long way from Whitby, it may even be closer to Sheffield. In any case labelling different dialect areas would largely be original research unless based on something. What I will do is use articles on different regionalised accents e.g. North Yorks (would be better split into Dales / Moors / York / Yorkshire Coast), Cleveland (the Yorkshire bit), East Riding, West Yorks, South Yorks etc and reference each vocab item as to which article names it e.g. 'tyke' might well be referenced by every article whereas 'mardy' might get referenced only by articles on North or South Yorkshire dialects.GordyB 15:02, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Go for it kid. --andreasegde 12:52, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Ever, Ev, Errr!

Friggin' tell me about it! Maybe there's more to this fiendish tactic of leather shorts and sausages than meets the eye! Vera, Chuck & Dave 17:20, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

To win the Premiership: Eat five Austrian sausages, drink 10 pints of "Zipfer", and wear leather shorts. If you win or not, you won´t give a fcuk. andreasegde 15:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I think we tried it last night, we didn't win, but the players certainly looked like they didn't give a fcuk! Vera, Chuck & Dave 13:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Alright Pal? I'm sure your'e right, a bit of mud and rain will take the wind out their sales! Mind you, I don't think it'll stop bloody Cahill, the lad is all over the place, I don't wish the lad any harm, I just wish he'd piss off on holiday for six months, he really is that influential, why the hell we didn't come in for him I'll never know! So you're a Leeds fan - christ we used to have some right old ding-dongs did'nt we? Bide your time they'll be back, if crap like Reading can do it, so can yews! Vera, Chuck & Dave 15:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

And I'm begining to feel like an AFC Wimbledon supporter! Benitez must have given em the Zipfer again! Bloody Chelski - bunch of Foxtrot Charlie's!! Vera, Chuck & Dave 13:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, not bad I suppose, but we could have won the treble in '77 though - useless gets! Vera, Chuck & Dave 21:23, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Cheers pal, good health![7] Vera, Chuck & Dave 23:49, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

John Lennon´s "rich fag jew" comment

I agree. I took it out. The reference should be given where he said that. Even if he did say it, I don´t think it belongs in there. It keeps popping back into the article after I remove it.

Well, I don´t know you who you are, but I agree. He did say it, and maybe there should be a section about some of the nasty comments and things he did (which are true) to balance the article out. He wasn´t a saint, after all. --andreasegde 07:51, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I referenced it. Limp-wristed liberals.--Crestville 12:06, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Now, now.... (but it did make me laugh.) --andreasegde 16:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I think that if there was a section - which nobody in the whole world has at the moment (about Johnny and his nasty bits) it would balance the whole article out. It doesn´t have to be Albert Goldmann style, but just something that shows his other side. I once read where he said, "Oh, in Greenwich village, where all those Wanna-bees live, y´know?", which opened my eyes a bit. He was not a saint - he was a human being - as he frequently said. andreasegde 17:06, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

After having had second thoughts, I don´t think there is any way in the world that anyone would countenance it. In the bin with it... --andreasegde 16:24, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

The Beatles Newsletter 006

Hi. Er.... Are you able to pop over and add some "information" into a newsletter that only requires some news to make it viable? If you don't fancy editing it, then just a few suggestions on the talk page will suffice. I've not been around the project much so don't know too much about current events. Ta.LessHeard vanU 17:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm poor at getting directions right, but if you go to your last Newsletter there is a link in the editors column for the next(current) edition. I tend to navigate by "watching" the article and hope other people post on it often enough...LessHeard vanU 19:38, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I don´t get a newsletter! Do my armpits smell? :) --andreasegde 19:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

My pc does not have a soundcard, let alone a olfactory board! You should have received them if you are on the participants list on the project page (and I believe you are). Have a word with Lar, whose good offices are used for distribution.LessHeard vanU 20:07, 30 September 2006 (UTC) ps. I assumed you are an Andre, as you are male.

Barnstar

I award you this music Barnstar for your hard work improving articles related to The Beatles, in particular the important but hereto unloved The Beatles' influence on popular culture. --kingboyk 12:58, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
