Welcome

[edit]

Hi, ReverendWayne. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!  Chzz  ►  00:48, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ようこそ
  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

A concern....

[edit]

Please read my comment here. I did some inprovement to the article and believe it can make a nice addition to the project, but currently the article does not have enough sourcing... even though it now looks prettier. A much larger concern, specially as I always appreciate when someone comes on board to build a nice article, exists in 2 parts.

  1. WP:ORGNAME, which may get the user blocked even before he gets warmed up as an editor... and
  2. WP:COI, which will color perception as it will be seen as if the production company is writing about their own project.

I have rescued and improved many articles, and fought "keep" at AfDs even against tough odds... but in this case, the article simply does not yet have enough sourcable notability. It having completed principle filming is terrific, but since it has not been released, its gonna need some decent press to have a chance to remain. Feel free to write back.

Heya pal,

I noticed that you participated at Wikipedia:Featured_sound_candidates/Livery_Stable_Blues. Since your support vote, an edited version of the file that removes hiss from the from file, has be suggested as an altenate version. Please return to the the FSC to see whether or not you support the editted version or not. Seddσn talk|WikimediaUK 01:08, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Message to all members of WikiProject Opera

[edit]

Please see our project's talk page for a discussion of the possible changes to Wikipedia's policy on the biographies of living persons and the implications this will have for many articles under the project's banner. This is especially important if you are looking after or have created unreferenced or minimally referenced opera-related biographies of living people.

Some time ago, you left a comment on this candidate, before some suggested clean-up of the noise had taken place. I've now had a go at reducing the noise, so if you get a chance to comment on the sound file as it currently is, that would be appreciated. Regards, BencherliteTalk 12:39, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your support. Whilst I'm here...

As someone who has nominated or commented on one of the current candidates, a couple of which are getting very old, you are invited to comment at this discussion to see if we can tidy up the FSC page before Christmas (and / or one or more of the nominations). Thank you. BencherliteTalk 19:08, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An arbitration case involving you has been opened, and is located at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Fæ.

Accounts

[edit]

Hi, could you please make an unambiguous declaration of other accounts you have been using on the English Wikipedia since you created this account in 2009?

I note that a significant proportion of edits from your account are used to contribute to votes and associated discussions, and that when the account was created the first edits would indicate you were already a sophisticated editor. Having additional accounts which may appear to be used to manipulate disputes and votes would not fall into WP:SOCK#LEGIT. Thanks -- (talk) 10:36, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sharp-eyed spot in re Schonberg's error. Perhaps we should now remove his book from the list of sources? Best, Tim riley talk 16:32, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Three years ago, you were recipient no. 1496 of Precious, a prize of QAI! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:45, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just read your note in which you wondered if the 1939 WJSV broadcast day recording is actually in the public domain, contrary to what is stated in the article. Thank you for pointing this out. I always thought that if something is freely donated to the National Archives it automatically becomes part of the public domain, but I now understand that it can more complicated than that. I will look into this. TeemPlayer (talk) 18:01, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
