Heartbreak

Saw the message. Thanks for the tips. Cheers!

Thanks!

Thanks for the barnstar!! Hopefully, you will return to Wikipedia. -- getcrunkjuice^contribs 23:41, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for the message you left me. It really meant a lot to me, especially coming from you, who I consider to be such a fine editor. I'm sorry that you're leaving and I think Wikipedia will be poorer for your absence, but I wish you all the best with whatever you do, and I hope that you will return here someday. If not, let me say that seeing your work here, and the interractions I've had with you, have been a pleasure. Rossrs 09:04, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Ago gratias

Dear Extraordinary,
Thanks for your kind words on my talk page about the Katie Holmes article. Yes, this is a most unserious subject, but she's an interesting person and much in the news lately so is certainly "feature-worthy." I've seen articles on far more important topics that haven't been researched as thoroughly as I did this one. I am gratified by your comments on my hard work. They made my day.
Do let me know if you have an article you're working on that you need another pair of eyes to examine. Ave atque vale! PedanticallySpeaking 15:46, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Leaving?

According to what I read, you are. No way man! You are such a prolific editor, how could you go? Ahhh! Like I said in an archive way back, I appreciate your extremely extensive popular culture editry. How many barnstars do you have? They aren't on your user page, maybe I should give you another to put on your shelf. I hope you don't off your account. At least save the password on a file so you remember if you will be suspending! Cest la vie (I don't even know what that means) Cheers, Mac Davis] ⌇☢ ญƛ. 05:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Leaving?

I can't believe we'll never see you again! ;-)

DYK!

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Time Is on My Side, which you recently nominated and worked on, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks for your efforts! I had forgotten all about Kai Winding, one of his remaindered albums was among the first 10 albums I ever bought... ++Lar: t/c 20:37, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, I will let the other user know too... ++Lar: t/c 18:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Tcatron

Sigh, he's gotten out of hand again. I think, if he doesn't improve his editing behaviour soon, a block for disruption should correct him. NSLE _(T+C) at 12:55 UTC (2006-05-30)

Not mine.

He asked me to do it. User:Top 50 asked me to do that. So, I'll work on that for him. It's actually one of my friends. I'll remove it for him. Tcatron565 00:13, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

-- Malber (talk • contribs) has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk pages. Happy editing!

What?

Sorry, about that, but Top 50 is my brother! He gets on here just as much as I do, but just reads! How boring!!!!!!! Anyway, I didn't make the Point of no return page. Someone else did. I just followed them. Actually, I wanted to change it to Point of No Return (3LW album). Tcatron565 23:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Stylistic changes

The reason why I changed it, is because I think it's handier to put the year of release first, then the single title. Sometimes, titles are longer than the titles before it and u get something like on "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor". It's not even there.. While if the year of release is put on top, you won't have to 'search' for it. I hope u understand what I mean, as my English isn't that well. -- Luigi-ish 20:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

O.K. Thanks for the tips -- Luigi-ish 17:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Angels (song)

Where is this song being merged and why? It might provide background for an admin. Would you mind putting an explation on the talk page? Capitalistroadster 01:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

another DYK...

On June 4, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Not about Love, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks for your continuing contributions... ++Lar: t/c 22:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (W/w ith Flowers in My Hair)

I really do. Though I was wondering - you moved this from capital W to little w, persumably ont he basis that prepositions are capitalized in song titles. However, I was wondering that, given it begins a parenthesized (is that a word?) clause, whether the 'with' should not have a capital 'W'? I've started a discussion here. --Robdurbar 10:27, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

200.138.194.254 (talk · contribs)

That is very annoying behaviour. I'm a little uncomfortable blocking the IP with no more justification than "Editing idiosyncratically, refuses to use Talk pages", but I'm not sure what other solution there might be. I suppose we could file a user-conduct RfC on the IP, but I don't imagine that they would respond to that either. I can't just bot-rollback all of their contributions, either, because they're not all bad; often they are just shuffling around bits of markup. I'm not sure what to do with this one. Jkelly 23:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

The thing is that there really isn't broad support for contra-WP:MOS edits being Wikipedia:Vandalism. The IP isn't revert-warring to the point where they are in danger of WP:3RR. Their refusal to use Talk pages is the easiest thing to explain as a real problem, but I am not sure that there is consensus for that being a blockable offense. I think that User:Mel Etitis has dealt with this kind of behaviour before, though, and has probably done some thinking about ways to proceed. I'll leave a note asking him to take a look. Don't feel like you have to take sole responsibility for cleaning up, though, especially to the point where it is frustrating enough that it diminshes your enthusiasm for writing articles (advice I should follow myself when I go on one of my binges of replacing unfree images here with images from Commons). Jkelly 17:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

That's a shame. I imagine that you'll be an admin not that many hours from now. What do you think should be done? Jkelly 20:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Christina Aguilera

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Maddyfan 02:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. Maddyfan 10:59, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Five edits. Deleting content at whim. You're working on being blocked. You are vandalizing. Maddyfan 11:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on a page. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing. Maddyfan 13:59, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help on the Christina Aguilera article. Okay, I really want to unlock this article. I would have unlocked this article if only we didn't have this senseless arguing from maddyfan and her (suspected) sockpuppets. If she can't get along and work with us, please open an RfC. I completely agree with you about your ideas for the article, because I've been through the vocal profile discussion before. In the second archive of Xtina's talk page, the Music Wikiproject did an evaluation of the article. In it it said the lead should be 2-5 paragraphs. I think your header should be lengthened. BTW, I'm the one who's extensively edited the Xtina article as you can see by the edit histories of 2005 and 2004, and sourced the Star is made book. --LBMixPro^{<Speak|on|it!>} 04:23, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

deletion

WHY IS MY ARTICLE BEING DELETED u added the post on my page please reply on my page thx

re: Dance charts

I added a comment to the "Cool" discussion page. Hope that helps! -- eo 13:13, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

In regards to "Cool", I'm sorry if I'm being difficult. I'm just obsessed with perfection, really. —Eternal Equinox | talk 21:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

This edit is unacceptable. There is no rule that states article headers cannot be wikified by any other person, and placing a : so that a message appears in a particular position (so not to concide with the former message) is also allowed. I archived such a conversation because that was certainly not me editing from IP and it was unactive, as is most of the other discussions on the talk page, which should all be archived. —Eternal Equinox | talk 00:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, there is a point there. I still believe that headers should be wikified, to comply with the MoS, but perhaps I should open a discussion there. Actually, I do not know who was editing from that IP address — could you tell me who? —Eternal Equinox | talk 00:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

All right, maybe not. But do you know of any sources that I could access to write a musical section for "Cool"? If not, I'm going to have to conduct actual research with Tokyo-shop administrators. This would be difficult. —Eternal Equinox | talk 01:09, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I am leaving after June 26. However, it is possible that I will return in the distant future. If I do, I will leave you an e-mail with regards to this. By the way, I added you on Messenger, did you get around to adding me? I could tell you more off Wikipedia. —Eternal Equinox | talk 01:12, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Times mention

Hey dude, no problem! I saw the article, so I had to see what the edit war was about. And then I was like, "Holy hell, I see him on AfD all the time!" So hey, congrats! Interestingly, I know I left the message on your talk page, but then when I came back here, it was gone. I thought, "Hmm... that's weird. Someone must have deleted it." And then I realized that my edit never showed up in your talk page's edit history. And it never showed up in my user contributions list. So what's up with that? -- Kicking222 23:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... a few people are none too happy with you right now. But hey, at least we know that we always have admins who are doing their duty. -- Kicking222 23:11, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

You should be proud of the Times article on all fronts. I mean, let's face facts: It's pretty damn cool. And I'm completely all for a "better safe than sorry", not just about WP, but about life in general. -- Kicking222 23:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Urban Hymns

Other albums have song pages for each song on an album, so why cant Urban Hymns?

Greetings, Extra!
I've been away for about six weeks. I am pleased to see some of my articles have been patrolled in my absence (e.g. Katie Holmes). Haven't heard from you in a while. How are you doing? PedanticallySpeaking 16:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Hope your exams went well. What are you studying? I'm doing okay. Last two months have been really hectic so Wikipedia work had to be jettisoned. I'm working on a replacement for the existing Bricker Amendment article at User:PedanticallySpeaking/In_Progress2. I hope to be able to put that up in the next couple weeks. (But I said that a couple months ago too, so we'll see.) It looks like your RfA will pass, so congrats in advance. PedanticallySpeaking 15:01, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Request

Could you take the same format used at Image:Gwen Stefani Cool chart trajectories.png and slightly expand on it? I found a new chart and would like it to be included up until the twentieth week. If you accept, please respond on my talk page! —Eternal Equinox | talk 22:06, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Exactly why would I be following you around? I did not look into the history of any of these articles, with the exception of Talk:Pieces of Me (but I had already known of this from long ago; you've edited it over time). I'm sorry if this doesn't sound sincere, but I promise that it is. Would it be possible to talk to you online right now? —Eternal Equinox | talk 18:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to be adding a "Music and structure" section to Cool (song) before the end of tomorrow. Once it is included, could you take a look at it and possibly remove anything redundant and/or excessive? —Eternal Equinox | talk 21:22, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi / Shameless request for help

Hi there! I've been working on the Alison Krauss article recently (it's up for FAC, but appears to be rightfully failing for not being comprehensive enough). I have been using the fantastic Mariah Carey article you listed at FAC (I can't figure out who the major contributors were, but I'm guessing you were a part) and I was wondering if you might help out/give some helpful tips. I'm currently trying to work up "Voice" and "Themes" subsections for the new Artistry section as per Carey. Staxringold _talk^contribs 20:48, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for the fast response! I absolutely agree that there's no reason to rush the fixes, but the FAC has provided a pretty clear picture (all three opposers noted the need for more comprehensiveness) which is actually more info than was garnered from the PR so I wanted to get working. Thanks for the notes and sorry I forgot about the Minogue which is quite good as well. I remember work being done on Impossible Princess but somehow the main article flew by me. I'll get to work on your suggestions ASAP (currently writing up a decent sized addition of a "Performances" section) and please make whatever changes you see fit or let me know if you notice anything big. Thanks again! Staxringold _talk^contribs 21:25, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks again for your notes. I believe I've implemented the things you've mentioned so far as much as they can be (some of the "some critics" style statements were purposeful as they quote multiple reviewers in one sentence) and any details you think of whenever you have the time would continue to be appreciated. Thanks! Staxringold _talk^contribs 23:00, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

• Hi again! I voted a clear support on your RFA (it was just by luck I came upon it, I'm surprised you didn't hit me up for a vote. Heh). I've also added a pretty large amount of content to the Krauss article and any continued advice would be appreciated. On that note, the Carey article uses two sources that look quite nice (though they're large enough I wouldn't want to buy them just for this one article), "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Music" and "The Faber Companion to 20th Century Popular Music: Fully Revised Third Edition." Do you have access to those sources still, and if so do you have access to a scanner, and if so would you be willing to do me a massive favor? If you can and will, thank you so much, whatever content they have on Krauss will likely be a huge help. If not, I completely understand as it's kind of a crazy thing to ask out of the blue. Staxringold _talk^contribs 00:01, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you! Staxringold _talk^contribs 00:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Sidenote: Might it be worthwhile for you to include (somewhere) a note on Carey's physical notability? I ask only because I'm always surprised by Wikipedia's detailed magazine lists, and Carey has appeared on FHM lists in 1996, '97, '98, 2000, '01, '05, and some of the US lists as well. Staxringold _talk^contribs 02:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Your RFA

Hi, Extra. I think your civility warning to Everyking on his page was richly deserved, but I would advise against letting yourself be drawn into arguing any further on your RFA page. James' extremism in these matters is well known, and his comments about you don't need any rebuttal; they look foolish enough just sitting there. Bishonen | talk 12:53, 26 June 2006 (UTC).

Alison Krauss II: First Blood

Heh, anyways, congrats on the RFA! I'm glad I noticed it, although my vote was just a grain of sand amongst your many supporters. :D Now, onto Ms. Krauss. I know I've been hassling you, and I really do apologize. Three questions: First, as always, do you see anything worth fixing/adding/adding onto? I ask because I've done just about everything I can think of to dig up worthy information for the article (tommorow I'm going to watch the interviews on the Live DVD I just got, exhausting the last real source I can think of). Second: Unlike your gorgeous Kylie Minogue and Mariah Carey I have no free image to use, even for the lead infobox. I have, per Miles Davis, continued using the fair use album cover that was there before I started editing. Should I upload another fair use image that is just a standard promo shot (there are a few Rounder uses quite a bit) or stick with the album cover (this came up in the FAC). Finally, on the topic of the FAC, any chance of getting you to vote? I realize it's currently 2/3/0, but I've repeatedly asked those 3 oppositions to give me some update given the changes to the article and I've heard nothing back. It may be fruitless, but it would be nice to show that post-changes the article has garnered support. Thanks for everything and congrats again! Staxringold _talk^contribs 00:34, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for even looking at the library and no worries on the voting (whatever your policy is is your perogative). As for asking the company, it's funny you should say that as I am literally half-way through writing an email to Rounder Records. Worst case there are some VERY widely distributed promos I can use. Staxringold _talk^contribs 22:46, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for the free image!! Question: Are all images on Flickr under the Creative Commons? If so, there are some exellent free images to replace some fair use stuff on there now... Staxringold _talk^contribs 20:34, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

No, but one can search Flickr using CC-BY as a criteria, or CC-BY-SA as a criteria (always do both searches). I've used the Flickr message system to ask people to relicense unfree images with some success, as well. Jkelly 20:36, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

• Just as JKelly was replying that I discovered it myself. I'm going to upload a slightly clearer Krauss photo for the use in the lead and I already have a request out for some Flickr shots to be reliscensed free. Staxringold _talk^contribs 20:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Are you on?

I need assistance. There's an edit war between two people who demand differing logos at WVTM-TV. One image is one of the logos available at http://www.nbc13.com/nbc13logo/index.html; the other combines two of those images, clearly paintshopped to include "WVTM/DT". The user with the paintshopped version insists that this is the way the logo is currently presented in broadcast; the website, however, does not reflect this change at all (that I can find). I would be tempted to tell this user that the altered logo would be fine if he can provide a photograph or screenshot of the broadcast logo, but I'm frankly not sure if that's accurate. Input is welcome. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 19:13, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem. But won't it ever change to "Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs" on Wikipedia?

Well, that user has already been warned, but don't worry, I'll report him/her if (s)he persists after the fourth warning.

You've been an admin for, what, a few days now, EM? And already throwing your weight around, threatening to block good users? Everyking 09:29, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Even if you're right about policy violations (and considering what I've seen you say about policy in the past, I'm not sure of your judgment on that), is a block warning really appropriate for this user? Think for a minute. This is obviously a constructive, good faith user with enthusiasm about the project. Everyking 10:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Harassing a new admin now, Everyking?[1] Extraordinary Machine is obviously a careful, ambitious admin with enthusiasm about the project. Why are you determined to make the place distasteful to him with your ill-considered barbs? Think for a minute. Bishonen | talk 16:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC).

I just noticed that your resoundingly successful RfA included one oppose vote, from someone whose vindictive oppose votes for people he doesn't like know no bounds of pettiness, blindness and utter stupidity. I got one too - Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Worldtraveller - so I thought I'd say very well done, keep up the excellent work in the arena which provokes our mutual friend, and enjoy using your admin tools.

I understand you'd know about this better than most, but when was the decision made to remove bold formatting from the middle item in the chronology? I'm fine with it, I just have no idea when this happened (and thus have been using bold the whole time). –Unint 22:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, somebody has been explicitly undoing my bold formatting on one particular article. I thought there might have been a widespread consensus to the effect that I didn't know about. –Unint 23:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Need your help

This user is removing the genres of some Spice Girls' and All Saints' albums and adding nonsense like "salsa". Shouldn't he be warned about what he's doing? 200.138.194.254 00:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Do You Believe in Magic

Hey, thanks for the kind words. I was a bit surprised when I read that article and it was so lacking in information about the Lovin' Spoonful version. I certainly respect editors' attempts to fill in singles for artists they like, but I really wish they wouldn't ignore other equally or more notable versions in the process. It makes the stub look too much like fancruft. GassyGuy 20:28, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Re : Metal music pages

Not sure, looks like a sockfest going on. You have to ask User:Circeus. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 16:02, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Black Hole High

I see that you did a revert on Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, but did you notice that there's now a protected Black Hole High page that mirrors the main article? I'm new enough around here that I have no idea what is supposed to be done about something like that, but I wanted to make sure that someone who works with the main article (more than I have) is aware of it. Thanks! Karen 20:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Simpson Survey

I'm aware of the history of conflict on the Ashlee Simpson articles, and I agree 100% that extra care is warranted in crafting a survey. IMO, you're likelier than I to create something suitable, so I'll defer. Good luck! Skyraider 20:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Uploading Images

I am having problems uploading images. When I upload the it appears, but when I add it to the article the image doesn't show. The file name shows in red. Charmed 12 July 2006 7:28

Worthy use of your new admin powers

Congratulations on your recent granting of admin powers. I would like to draw your attention to a worthy use of those powers - the closing of copyvio reports listed on WP:CP. As you'll see there are many tens of such reports that need dealing with each day, and the backlog is barely being kept under control despite a couple of us spending lots of time working on them. The process is pretty easy and sorting a few only takes a little time and with a group of people helping, we can keep the backlog under control easily - just review the article & the source to ensure it is a copy, and then delete. Any help would certainly be appreciated - any questions, ask away. Kcordina ^Talk 09:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Image

Hi. I emailed http://www.mariahdaily.com about the images on the site, and I asked if one could be used in the Wikipedia article. One of the site administrators gave me permission to use any photo (I'm gonna forward the e-mail to you, but first, I need you to e-mail me so that I have your e-mail.). I wanted to notify you before I made any changes (since you are the expert on images). If you have any concerns, please contact me. Orane (talk • cont.) 02:02, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
