Tsk Tsk Tsk

[edit]

I need your advice. The group Tsk Tsk Tsk were around in the 70s and 80s and I think they need a separate entry. The problem is their name. I know that Brophy deliberately called it that so it was almost impossible to speak but only graphically recognise ie its 3 arrows (which I cant type at the moment) The tsk tsk tsk pronunciation (would you believe as in Skippy!) only came later. So its graphical representation came first and has primacy. Brophy loves pissing people off. How would one put the '3 arrows' into a title field in wikipedia? Any ideas?

Maybe you could give this a try: → ↑ →. Cnwb 03:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I cribbed initial stub. Am gratified that symbols can be used in title line. Lentisco 03:42, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to help - it's good to see someone wikifying this important, and often overlooked, music scene. Cnwb 03:52, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Was this sarcasm, or were they actually notable? I'm trying to get an answer from Lentisco but no luck yet. Regards, Ben Aveling 06:55, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, it was not sarcasm. They were an important outfit in the development of Melbourne's experimental music scene. Cnwb 07:01, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Can we quantify that? All that the existing pages say is that they released a few albums - nothing that indicates whether or not any of them made any impact on the universe. Regards, Ben Aveling 07:09, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
One resource you could check is Clinton Walker's Inner City Sound book, which chronicles Australia's early punk / post-punk scene. Tch Tch Tch are mentioned numerous times. This would cover the WP:MUSIC criteria: Is cited in notable and verifiable sources as being influential in style, technique, repertory or teaching in a particular music genre.

Bravo! One of my favorite albums. Bought it new in '85 (or '86). Hamster Sandwich 13:41, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I'm sorry! I was superciliously saying that I know nothing about Mr Whippy vans and would appreciate any contribution you could make. Here, take this flower for your trouble! Terribly sorry about the confusion. --Mgreenbe 23:29, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since the request on the talk page for citations has gone unanswered for eight months, I'm removing vast swathes of unsourced material from the article. Your help in keeping it removed (Anonymous editors keep re-adding it, without citing the sources that have been asked for.) would be welcome. Uncle G 13:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I'm sorry, I am new to this wikipedia thing and haven't got my head around copyrights and such on the use of internet sites. I will contact the visit Maryborough website asking for permission and reload the image if I get it. Cheers. 05/02/06 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theneedforspeed (talkcontribs)

You're Immature!

[edit]

You keep deleting my articles, when I tried so hard to contribute! Don't act like you're boss! Just because you didn't write any articles, doesn't mean that you could delete anyone's articles! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danax33 (talkcontribs)

What articles are you referring to? If you feel they should stay, I'll restore them, and list them of AFD. Cnwb 01:23, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question

[edit]

Hi, what does "NN bio" mean? That was listed as a cause for deleting an article. Thanks JDMBAHopeful 04:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

'NN bio' means 'non-notable biography'. It means that the person whom the article is about, is not notable enough to be in an encyclopedia. Hope this helps. Cnwb 04:57, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. Where or how does one draw the line? Any wiki guidelines? JDMBAHopeful 04:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, check out WP:BIO. Cnwb 05:09, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The subject in question manages US$1B-plus and also managed US$7B at Harvard. That seems notable, even after reading the WP:BIO standards. What should be the minimum cut-off for a manager? Managing $10B? 50B? 100B? JDMBAHopeful 05:37, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Which article are you referring to? Cnwb 05:41, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
article: Jane Mendillo JDMBAHopeful 05:45, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Joi gordon

[edit]

Joi gordon has moved to Joi Gordon (you prodded the old version). I removed the Prod since I felt it shouldn't be deleated. Feel free to nominate for AfD. ---J.Smith 01:00, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reguarding the AfD I've presented some evidence about her notoriety under WP:Bio guidelines. Would you be kind enough to review the evidence and consider changing your vote? Thanks ---J.Smith 05:38, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not cool...

[edit]

Powerglove should not be deleted. Just because you don't know the band, their widespread fanbase or their impact doesn't mean you should classify them as "non notable". It's just insane :S. Domfeargrieve 05:22, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the note you left on my talk page. Nominating pages for AfD is standard Wikipedia practice. If you feel the band are noteworthy, you should be improving the article as much as you can, and back up the claims of their notability with evidence. Hope this helps. Cnwb 05:31, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

don't be a jerk

[edit]

stop deleting my entry, wikipedia is for knowledge. the site where all this has taken place was deleted, i am trying to archive this so all paulo's fans can remember all the great times. just because it doesn't look good right now doesn't mean you have to delete it, i'm going through each document one at a time so its going to take awhile for this to make sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulo2o12 (talkcontribs)

You are right that Wikipedia is for knowledge, but there are also guidelines as to what it is not. You might like to read through WP:NOT, and you'll get an idea of what we're trying to achieve here. Hope this helps. Cnwb 03:45, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

all has fallen site

[edit]

what qualifies a notable band? you suggested the all has fallen section be deleated, this band was created from 2 very popular bands and have made a name for themselves globally. i think thats quite notable —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaeljones (talkcontribs)

You can check WP:MUSIC for guidelines on what is generally considered noteworthy. Hope this helps. If you believe the band is notable, I can remove the Delete tag and submit it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where other users assess and vote on whether it meets the guidelines. Cnwb 04:33, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

okay here are the things this band qualifies on

  • Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise extremely notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.
  • Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (or both, as in British hip hop); note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
  • Has won or placed in a major music competition.
  • Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network.
  • Has been the subject of a half hour or hour broadcast on a national radio network.
  • For composers, songwriters, librettists or lyricists:
    • Has written a song or composition which has won or placed in a major music competition not established expressly for new comers.
    • Has composed a number of melodies, tunes or standards used in a notable genre, or tradition or school within a notable genre.
    • Is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable sub-culture.

and i think they have done much more then that. this band has a huge following, plus are a split of bigger bands, noteably Dalinquent, which was the biggest band from the now huge metal scene in virginia. though they blew out of the underground and hit big as ALL HAS FALLEN is now doing —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaeljones (talkcontribs)

Stop Deleting or Else You may be Banned from Wikipedia

[edit]

I have noticed your approach to delete many Wikipedian's articles. Please stop this act, or you may be banned from Wikipedia immediately. Thank You. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.109.248.93 (talkcontribs)

Thank you for your concern. As an anonymous IP address, you do not have the authority to block users, so I can only assume that you'll report me to an administrator if I do not cease deleting articles. If you look at the history of my deletions, you'll see that I have kept details of why each article has been deleting, in accordance with Wikipedia policy. I must also say that this is quite ironic coming from a user whose sole contributions have been deleting people's talk pages. Cnwb 02:57, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't been deleting anyone's talk pages besides yours. This is because everyone reported that you deleted their pages. I thought that if I deleted a message in your talk page, you would sense your own danger. Like you said in my talk page, I may be banned. But you may too. I have also noticed that you deleted some articles for absolutely no reason at all. Please change this immediately. I am an user at Wikipedia, surprisingly for you. I have donated Wikipedia a sum of $10,000.00. Be careful, or I'll be sure that your account would be banned. Thank You. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.109.248.93 (talkcontribs)

Sorry about the rollback, Cnwb; my misjudgement. I was trying to rollback my rollback but Wikipedia wouldn't respond. Heck, it'll probably take me twenty minutes to get this comment to stick. Snottygobble 03:07, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please list these examples of deletions without reason? I'm curious, because I'm usually very careful about this. And regarding your threats, can you tell me what process you'd initiate in order to have me banned? Cnwb 03:08, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For you to acknowledge, I have an account here at Wikipedia. Why, you would terrorize my articles, like how you did to others) if I had told my account username. I have full contact to the Wikipedia Foundation Manager, for my generous donation. If I report to him about your behavior, you will have a slim chance of not being banned. Examples of deletions without reason is simply under your nose. Looking at your user:talk page, I could instantly tell that you were not really careful about deleting others' contributions. An example is Danax33's contribution. Throughout time, I found out that she had written an article about the legendary Moon Lady...am I correct? From research, I found out that her contributions were correct. You have deleted that article...without realizing your chance of being banned. My son, Jake, had written an article, contributing to Wikipedia. Why I must admit, the article was written correctly and perfectly. And I must be careful with my son's account too...you would continue delete his articles, if you found out his username. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.109.248.93 (talkcontribs)

I have only deleted a statement in Danax33's talk page, because of your false statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.109.248.93 (talkcontribs)

You seem to be implying that on Wikipedia, money buys power. Your donation of $10,000 had bought you the right to whisper in the Foundation Manager's ear. Can you tell me what evidence you'll be giving? As yet, you've come up with nothing concrete. Cnwb 03:24, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Telectronics

[edit]

Why ediot Telectronics page you know nothing! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.217.39.77 (talkcontribs)

All I see on that page is an edit war between User:Geoffrey Wickham and anonymous IPs. Seeing as Geoffrey is the only party in this war who has bothered to identify himself and therefore make his edits accountable, I see anonymous IPs who simply delete his text as vandals. But really, I'm not going to get any more involved - you edit war has become quite childish, and I don't wish to be drawn in. I'll keep my eye on it over the next few days, and report it to the Administrators notice board if it gets any more out of hand (this article really needs more unbiased input). In the meantime, if you want your arguments taken seriously, you should create an account for yourself, and sign and date-stamp your comments (just type ~~~~ at the end).

Your exam

Hello, I've just randomly popped by. Have a good break, and all the best with the exam. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 22:40, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

mellow candle: detailed article available.....

[edit]

hallo Cnwb..... I have no idea how this works! But this is Janet Records in Dublin here, and we have just jointly released, with Die Stadt Records in Germany, the first of a series of 3 new recordings by Clodagh Simonds, late of Mellow Candle, under the collective name Fovea Hex. Recently, a writer called Colin Harper wrote an excellent book called IRISH FOLK, TRAD, AND BLUES, which has a full chapter on Mellow Candle. Since Alison O'Donnell, also late of Mellow Candle, has also just released an album with Isabel ni Chuireain (on Osmosys, entitled Mise agus Ise), it would be great to somehow make this article available to Wikipedia, as it gives a very in-depth history of the band, and it could be linked both to www.alisonodonnell.com and www.janetrecords.com.

But I don't know what would be the best way to do it? We do have Colin Harper's blessing - but would the best way be to create a page on our own website, and link to the Wikipedia page from that? or what? I'm happy to send you the chapter as an attachment, if you'd like to take a look - just let me have an email address!

mine is info@janetrecords.com

Magdalena DalyMagdalenadaly 18:07, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it is a historical account then Wikify it and add it, but it has to be rewritten in your own words, and use the book as a reference. What the author probably wasent told was if they add it to wikipedia they do not own it anymore. Mike (T C) 22:52, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mike :) Thanks for that info - but I don't have the time to rewrite it at the moment! I could add a little bit more information than is there at the moment perhaps. If I mention that this chapter exists, and provides an in-depth history, could I then post the chapter on a page on the Janet Records website, and link directly to that page? And are the links to various other people in Wikipedia (Mike Oldfield, Brian Eno, The Hafler Trio, and so on) made automatically if those names are mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magdalenadaly (talkcontribs)

why recommend to delete my wiki?

[edit]

There is room for everything. Are you some kind of God to recommend my page be deleted because it isn't a "notable radio show"?? What does it matter to you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BANDANAxTHRASH (talkcontribs)

Edit: Get the fuck off your throne, let me do my thing —Preceding unsigned comment added by BANDANAxTHRASH (talkcontribs)

Thank you for your hostile message. I'll refrain from responding in kind, because I can see that you're a new user who is probably unaware of Wikipedia's policies on what can be included (and also because I'm a nice guy). Regarding my 'God'-like status - as it happens, any Wikipedia user can nominate articles for deletion. If you feel that the article is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia, you can discuss it here. I would also recommend reading about the Articles For Deletion process here. I hope this helps. Cnwb 22:10, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977

[edit]

Actually the US laws are indexed under another category than public law--Category:United States federal legislation. If it's not, maybe it should be a subcategory of Category:--Public law?--Beth Wellington 07:15, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for picking me up on the appropriate category. I was on New Pages patrol, focussing on getting uncategorised articles into cats. I wasn't quite sure where to put that one, but figured if I put it there, someone in-the-know would pick up on it. I figure it's best to put these things somewhere where they'll be noticed, rather than leave them to disappear into the quagmire. Cnwb 22:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit actually blocked my edit in progress to add the category I had located by searching for another U.S. federal law. You might want to wait on the patrol a bit, say a day, especially if you're not sure of the category for a particular article. This would have the article to a quagmire, too, albeit a named one, if folks were seaserching the correct category. :) Cheers, --Beth Wellington 23:49, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Fitzroy Memorial Rotunda.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 you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL.

New Journalsim stub

[edit]

Hello there. Thought I might ask your opinion since you added categories to an article I started on the book The New Journalism. As it stands at the moment, do you think it would be enough to add the names of the pieces by the different authors, and then remove the stub note at the bottom? Or do you think more is needed? The information on stubs is - probably necessarily - vague. Liquidindian 06:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
