You...

You are one hard person to get along with. — John Cardinal (talk) 02:05, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry John, but as it took me so long to work out how references are formatted, I just hate to see them deleted, especially when hundreds of other articles have hardly any at all. Sorry...--andreasegde (talk) 16:30, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

You...

... are one of my favorite people on Wikipedia, and a pleasure to work with. Just sayin'.... Tvoz/talk 03:55, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Andreasedge here, and I want to know why I can not sign my user name with a date stamp (or do anything else using the bar above the page come to that). The page records my user name BTW, but I can not do it myself, nor even under my ISP address.--andreasegde (talk) 12:08, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Er... have you tried signing with only three tildes ("~~~") and seeing what happens? LessHeard vanU (talk) and LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:35, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

The photo police

They're at it again...--andreasegde (talk) 15:15, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Illustrating articles

Fair use does not allow images to be used for "mere" illustration. Blame Congress. In the meantime, we use free-license images if available or do without unless there is a fair-use justification. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 17:34, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

"fair-use justification" seems beyond the realms of possibility. Unless one can find a "death bed" photo, that is.--andreasegde (talk) 19:20, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Cedar Creek Texas

But for the one notable resident, it wouldn't be notable at all. It's a borderline case of "people notable for only one thing." You could make a legitimate case of merging it with the county article or the article of the nearest town. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 17:36, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Considering you started the article, it would seem that you have shot yourself in the foot.--andreasegde (talk) 19:18, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I created the article, but I don't WP:OWN it. I try to be objective. Having said that, I would recommend not redirecting the article, at least not in the near future. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 08:02, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I have no intention at all of doing such a thing. Point taken, I hope.--andreasegde (talk) 12:24, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey, how are things, not editing much recently? Come back :( — Realist² 06:47, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

NBC Special Report

Hello Andreasegde! I just wanted to add that on the evening of December 8, 1980, I was watching NBC, Channel 24 in Fresno, California. We were over at a friend's house watching, I kid you not, "Little House on the Prarie," when suddenly they broke in with an NBC Special Report, and they announced that John Lennon had been shot and killed. It was sometime after 8:00 that evening that they broke in with the "Special Report," but before 9:00. I am mentioning this to you because I was interested in the part of your article that talked about how and when different American television networks broadcast the terrible news, and I thought you would find it interesting that on the West Coast, NBC interrupted regular programming to bring us the news. I was ten years old at the time. I remember my mother being upset about it, and I remember going home that night and looking through her old Beatles albums. They are a favorite group of mine as well. 71.204.157.146 (talk) 00:13, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I thank you.--andreasegde (talk) 11:18, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Hold Me Now

Hi, I was working on the article of the Thompson Twins' song "Hold Me Now", I added new sections and references, I wanted to nominate it for GA, but I couldn't find anything about the inspiration, writing, recording, the production, or background of the song. I see that you made a lot of contributions to the band's article, and you put the book references. So I don't know if you have any info about the song. I hope you can help me. Thank in advance.

File source problem with File:JennyPattieColinBoyd1952NairobiKenya.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:JennyPattieColinBoyd1952NairobiKenya.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:32, 28 February 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 16:32, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Photos

Don't bother sending me any more messages about photos. Let's make Wikipedia black and white, just like a DVD manual.

Uh? You mean WP isn't rendered in black and white? I suppose £15 doesn't get you the best in monitors, these days.... LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

£15? That's a cheap night out at "Terry's all-time" in Leeds. "One chips, two fish..."--andreasegde (talk) 19:27, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear Andreasegde, I have just posted this onto the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Beatles page: A valid and interesting discussion about including or not including recently published facts (http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-life-features/liverpool-special-features/2009/03/06/marc-sinden-on-john-lennon-we-were-in-the-presence-of-god-92534-23077241/) in the Hey Jude page seems to have ground to a halt on a side-issue on sockpuppets, IP users (such as me!) and warnings over perceived personal attacks. Two editors feel that the facts presented and sourced are either not vaild and/or trivial and seem unwilling to justify their exclusion and repeated deleation. However, I have never seen this information published before and in spite of one editors assertion that other participants in the video have been identified previously, but will not say where or who (apart from insisting, without any proof, that Twiggy was in it - untrue according to the new source), I feel that it is important historically to include the information so that other Wiki community users can at least get to read it and make their own mind up, as opposed to having it made up for them. Can we please have a consensus of editors to make a decision on this issue? PLEASE HELP GET THE FACTS OUT! 94.194.100.228 (talk) 18:58, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

I have answered on the article's talk page. References are to be respected.--andreasegde (talk) 10:42, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Archiving talk page for Beatles WikiProject

I notice you've been picking up the slack in archiving after my hiatus (and Kingboyk's brief interlude), so kudos for that. I just wanted to remind you to add the header stuff at the beginning of the archive. (See the previous archives for more details.) Also, I had originally been archiving every month, but it looks like you've switched to doing ranges. You also seem to be adding on to archives at a later date, for some reason. I would advise against both of these practices, especially if there has been a lot of discussion. I would specifically urge against the latter practice: Always create a new archive page if you're archiving at a later date. And try to keep the dates within range. If you need to cherry-pick because of ongoing discussion, that's fine. Just keep in mind that it's OK if you leave threads on the page, even if they're dead, as long as they're not within the range you're archiving. This has probably been a little confusing and all over the place, so if you have any questions, or need any help, feel free to contact me. (I may or may not check back here, so if it's something urgent, leave a note on my talk page.) Good luck! —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 04:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

I was just doing it to clean it up a bit.--andreasegde (talk) 07:12, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey Jude

For your attention! Please help! I have just included a factual, uncontentious, compromise version of the Promo film paragraph to suit all tastes. The Sindens name has been removed but the source retained, just as 94.194.100.228 suggested. Please watch to see what happens next and if it is just the facts that are being suppressed for unexplained reasons. I say no more. 65.48.132.153 (talk) 12:49, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

The Beatles

Hi, I see you are taking an interest in the merger proposal and I wondered if you'd seen the new info and suggested structure tweaks I've now added there? I hope other editors will be able to consider it further because I think it will not only remove duplication but also further the overall aims of enabling The Beatles article to be shrunk in size (which I keep hearing is needed) and generally improving it to help it on its way back to FA status. PL290 (talk) 18:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that you haven't yet added your input in Talk:History of The Beatles concerning splitting that article into multiple articles which could then have links from The Beatles article which would then allow for condensing that article. Steelbeard1 (talk) 16:08, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

The Beatles in Hamburg

You've added a lot to this article. Including three broken references. Could you please provide the links for them? Thank you. Debresser (talk) 12:44, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of The Beatles in Hamburg

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article The Beatles in Hamburg you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 14 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. SilkTork *^YES! 15:54, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Didn't expect it to be so soon, but thanks, anyway!--andreasegde (talk) 16:54, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Impressive amount of material in such a short space of time. Well done! There are areas I feel need attention, so I have put the review on hold until the end of May to allow time for these matters to be discussed and addressed. If everything is resolved quicker, then let me know. Regards SilkTork *^YES! 11:10, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Big Star

I'm thinking of working on Big Star to try to take it to GA/FA standard. As you have greater experience of such things I was wondering if you could glance at it and opine. It currently needs work, including citations that are lacking, but I would have thought it's a good candidate. Could you let me know if you think it's a non-starter for any reason. PL290 (talk) 09:01, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

First I had to find out which Big Star it was (looking at the history sections came in useful) and then I looked at the article. Looks well-written but is definitely lacking in refs. Are you good with refs and putting them in an article? (Don't be offended, just slap me with a wet fish...) I could have a good Google and help if you want. Please advise...--andreasegde (talk) 17:59, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Doh! Sorry about the ambiguous wikilink; it is Big Star (band) as you fathomed out. Yes, I plan to research it and put those refs in, to which end I'm about to get hold of the Jovanovic book. Just wanted the feedback first in case it wasn't worth bothering. I'll go ahead then in due course (and don't hesitate if you're interested too). Thanks. PL290 (talk) 08:54, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Thompson Twins

I came across the Thompson Twins article again, by chance, after many months looking elsewhere. I noticed from the article's talk page, that you have had some input along the way. How is it that the current article only has approximately six citations ? Has someone slowly removed the sensible, referenced text, and replaced it with the usual opinionated crap ? Or, is their article genuinely lacking in some Wikipedia styled input. Let's be honest, The Twins' day is well and truly over; but the current page seems to rely more upon fancruft, hear'say and general made-up bollocks, than any real encyclopedic scholary input.

Finally, from the picture I saw, those Austrian sausages have not done your physique any good at all, have they ?!! However, these English bangers have seemingly dealt a similar fate for this 54 year old !! Regards,

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 23:47, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Please don't talk about sausages, because I will slaver myself to death... :) Bacon sarnies with HP brown sauce? Don't even mention them, please don't... Austria has a long way to go.--andreasegde (talk) 19:47, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Beatlemania in the UK

I've been adding some material into Beatlemania in the UK over the past few days. I've structured it around the four nationwide tours. It's still rough and needs finishing and possibly additional significant events etc. Care to have a look and see what else you think needs to go in? (And of course dive in whenever you're ready...)

Re:Deleting photos

I just gravitated towards it, I suppose. I like the idea of free content (and, therefore, of avoiding the unneeded use of non-free content) on a philosophical level, but at the start of my Wikipedia career, I actually uploaded a lot of non-free images that wound up deleted. Originally, my admin work was mostly tied with new page patrol and "notability", but I became more involved with our non-free content policies when I realised that they were something that, in many cases, were not followed and not understood. Which specific case were you referring to? If was I removing content that was hosted on Commons, I was probably mistaking free content for non-free content? J Milburn (talk) 18:45, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply.--andreasegde (talk) 09:52, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Copy edit request

Hey Andreasegde, currently "Scream/Childhood" is a peer review, I would like to take it to FAC. Any chance you could give it a read through/copy edit. Your English is way better than mine. Considered taking anything to FAC recently? I know you dislike that place. — R² 22:00, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

The image of the screaming child and the lyrics on the wall can be viewed here. Would you describe that as sprawled untidily across the wall? Further more, I wrote that several months ago, but recently I moved in with some arty people, and I now know that child huddled against the wall is a famous picture. I won't see my housemates for several weeks, so i'll have to find out who made it some other way. Thanks for your assistance :) — R² 14:04, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

In fact, I see details of who made the images on that link. Most the images in the booklet come from Gottfried Helnwein.

After seeing the picture I think it's "scrawled". I will change it.--andreasegde (talk) 16:37, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Harry and Virginia.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Harry and Virginia.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 12:24, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
