microKORG

Welcome to Wikipedia. Regarding this edit to Wikipedia's article on the Korg microKORG, I have replaced the list with a concise paragraph that mentions a few key musicians. It could still be improved, e.g by explaining why it is notable that those artists use a microKORG, preferably with quotes and references, as in the following example:

"Liam Howlett of The Prodigy used a microKORG extensively on the band's 2004 album Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned. In an interview for Korg's official website, [1] Howlett said that "The microKORG is wicked. You've only got to put it on big speakers to hear the depth it's got. It's got so much power for a little keyboard.""

If you could flesh out the rest of the list, in the same way, that would be superb. Your extensive contacts at Korg USA could prove very useful, although remember that Wikipedia forbids original research. It's a better way to write an encyclopaedia than this:

- The Prodigy uses a microKORG.

- The Stiletto Formal uses a microKORG.

- These Arms Are Snakes uses several microKORGs.

Etc

And so forth. En masse, this blurs into nothing, and that's not including the Myspace artists with a handful of hits, and instances where the instrument is pointed out in videos, in the studio etc (and "Nick Cornwell of Efflixi wants a MicroKORG", which I will use as an example in years to come). -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Site sources in the PAC Sun article.

Can you please not make changes to the Pac Sun article without leaving a source? The " I am a employee" bit does not work because it is original research, and also can be seen as a conflict of interest. Site sources when you change a article. I will revert your changes immediately.--74.240.238.67 (talk) 21:07, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And just who are you? I do not recall making any changes to the article. If it was in regards to store closings, anything I might have mentioned is documented in a publicly-accessible investor relations conference call with the CEO, as well as various industry analysts. I am not an investor, nor am I a current employee. Also, your remark is further dubious in that: 1. Your IP address appears to be anonymous, and there is no username tied to your account. This seriously damages the credibility or perceived seriousness of your claims. 2. I speak and write proper English. It is assumed, then, that I would know to make use of the correct indefinite article(s) in a sentence. Your assault upon me is rather sloppy. "I am a employee?" Give me a break. Again, I know what an indefinite article (did you catch that bit right there?) is.

Just because I dont have a username does not mean I should not be taken seriously. And you need to watch your tone. --74.240.238.67 (talk) 19:59, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

January 2016

In a recent edit to the page Indus Valley Civilisation, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. AusLondonder (talk) 16:43, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to explain this behaviour, User:Jonpaulusa? It is unbelievable you cite "British imperialism" to justify changing a page using Indian English to American English spelling. Especially when your username has "usa" in it. AusLondonder (talk) 16:44, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page moving

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Indus Valley Civilisation. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. AusLondonder (talk) 16:46, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, now we have to go to the trouble of moving it back - please stop this. Johnbod (talk) 16:49, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Indian or British English is used for all India related articles. You can read it on articles talk page. If you still want to move the article then try WP:RM. Thank you. --Human3015^TALK 17:15, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A silly argument, as both ise and ize are used in the UK. Oxford University uses "ise", Oxford University Press uses "ize" Doug Weller talk 17:30, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's not relevant. Oxford spelling is separate. -ise is used almost exclusively in India, especially in the media and official contexts Here is the Times of India using civilisation AusLondonder (talk) 17:43, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I said British English because Indian English and British English have too much similarities, but actually India related articles are suppose to be written in Indian English. One can read WP:TIES for more details.--Human3015^TALK 18:14, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit summary on Woodie Guthrie

Hi. Your recent edit summary on Woodie Guthrie ("Corrected grammatical mistakes that only a fourth grader in Oklahoma schools would make.") was insulting to the original editor, to fourth graders and to Oklahomans. Wikipedia editors are asked to behave with civility and this does not exclude edit summaries. I hope you will bear this in mind in future. Dubbin^{u | t | c} 08:55, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blah blah blah. I'm from Oklahoma, you pompous arse. Oh, your account hasn't been active since 2016. Oh well.
