That's fair enough. I have never asked Lego to do a GA for me in return for stuff i've review etc. and I didnt pick Pre-Madonna in the hope of getting Lego to do me a favour. Admittedly yes Lego has had some input into my FA nomination of When Love Takes Over, as in he participated in the peer review but has not commented on the FA nomination page, though he has been explaining some of the concerns of other editors to me. But other than that I didn't really see it as an issue. I will bare it in mind in future though. Just to clarify I am personally of the opinion that GA swaps are not a good idea. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1[talk]04:36, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
This edit slightly broke the main {{jct}} template. You inserted the semi template, but on a new line, which inserted a line break into every transclusion of the subtemplate. No big deal, but I thought that I'd let you know for future reference to put the <noinclude> right after the last element of a template. Thanks for adding the template though. Imzadi 1979→21:49, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Personally I would consider it reliable. Including the fact that it is a "website for kids, mostly Tweens, kids ages 9 - 14," which means it's articles are written for that audience, which also includes a portion of the audience who could read the article here on wikipedia. I would like to include it in the article, because it gives a great insight into the song and would help improve the "Critical Reception" portion... But it's more of a question like "is the site professional enough to include on the article without making it a joke?" Theuhohreo (talk) 20:50, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Very true, thats exactly what I was thinking. I just wanted to get a more professional opinion on the matter :] Thanx! :D Theuhohreo (talk) 21:00, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi there. I didn't know there was a bot that updated those article histories, as I'd always done it myself in the past, with no negative repercussions. How does the bot know when to update the template? —Torchiesttalkedits23:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
What you mentioned said not to manually update when the FAC closes. I don't think it's problematic to update the status beforehand, since the bot can still update it when the FAC is completed. Also, the article is now showing as both a FAC and a former FAC. I'd like to undo your change to fix that. It's not that big of a deal, is it? —Torchiesttalkedits23:33, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
I swear Axel if I knew that this was going to be a monster, I would have made it my priority to develop it before my marriage. My editing rate has slowed down so much. By the way, have you noticed this terrible IP destroying every article on music? — Legolas(talk2me)05:45, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm scared of taking this to FA. They will probably rip it apart. That's why BR is teh safer bet. As for the IP, dont worry, an admin blockd his ass. — Legolas(talk2me)06:01, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Vandalism: Beagle 2 page
Could you please take a look at the developing situation on this page, 1st paragraph. I and Valhalan are attempting to reinstate the original text of this para, which is both more professional and more informative than the less-clear and less illuminating text which Ruslik0 is trying to replace it with.
On the Discussion page I have given my detailed reasons for the reinstatement. However, Ruslik0 is responding by not only trying to reinstate his inferior version, without citing any reasons whatsoever, but also trying to get me suspended "for Vandalism"!!!
This action of Ruslik0 is of course the ultimate in vandalism-- to abuse the mechanism for dealing with vandals, and then actually use it as a vandal's tool.
Could you please examine the matter.
Thankyou
(204.112.54.106 (talk) 04:44, 5 February 2011 (UTC))
NB Ruslik0 is particularly misleading in 2 key areas. First, the clear possibility that Beagle 2 missed Mars has been deleted by him (no reason given). Second, his misleading term "failed to make ground contact" in many English speaking countries, and to many foreigners whose English is not good, means "failed to Land".
I have warned Ruslik0 about his vandalistic attitude, but he has not heeded said warning.
It looks like you're on vandalism patrol at the moment, which is a good thing, but I would consider taking another look at this edit. Yes, it was correct to revert the edit, but I'm pretty sure he didn't intentionally want to disrupt the article, which is what vandalism is all about. He is new to Wikipedia and might not understand the rules, so I decided to give him a welcome message and a talkinarticle message too. Minimac (talk) 07:37, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Never Miss a Super Bowl Club
I left a commentary on the talk page about the picture.

Harry Belafonte
Hello! Perhaps you could help me with something. I am enrolled in a college English course at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. One of our assignments is to research and improve a Wikipedia song article in an effort to make worthy of being a Featured Article. This was the article I was given. I am relatively new to Wikipedia and even though I have read through the policies and procedures pages, I am unsure of how to have the article unprotected. I think I did everything right. Would you be willing to consider my request or provide additional guidance as to how I can complete my assignment? Thanks! Boris n' Bosko (talk) 03:51, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
I have to say at first glance his complaints appear to have merit; it seems he is blocked for socking, but that the original block was unfair and his socking was within policy. Egg Centric (talk) 20:51, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
How do I make a complaint against this user? He's consistently rude to people for no reason, and overrules anything he doesn't see fit, which is extremely tiresome. 81.100.21.62 (talk) 19:54, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for looking over my shoulder (if that's what you were doing). There was a "subtopic" parameter that I copied from the GANomination template which seemed odd to me as well. Would you mind looking at what I did there in promoting the article to see if I screwed anything up? Thanks! Dr Aaij (talk) 19:40, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Spanish people and Wikipedia wide issue about ethnicity
Hello, I was the one who changed the number of Spanish people in Spain to Unknown. This is not something subjective, the figure being wrong is a fact and the references are there. If this is something that should be discussed, I feel that it would make more sense that in the meanwhile it is left as Unknown instead of having a wrong figure, specially since I feel it will be largely ignored. I've also seen that the article Swedes has the same problem as the one for Spaniards, the number of ethnic Swedes is wrong. Many more articles might have this issue.
Also as I see that you are a well established Wikipedia editor, I would like to let you know about the Wikipedia wide issue of ethnicity percentage. In the section Ethnicity in the article for Germany it says 91% German, this word German links to the article Germans which is not about ethnic Germans but German nationals. 91% is in fact the percentage of German nationals, a great percentage of these aren't ethnic Germans, e.g Turks. There is a wrong figure in the page of almost every European country I checked. You can't provide the real figures since these countries don't keep track of ethnicity. One can't even provide a valid source for an estimation of these numbers.
I suggest doing a major revision of all these articles, either substituting the percentage/figure for Unknown or removing the ethnicity section. Wikipedia can't leave it the way it is now because it can mislead people.
Something less important but that I think I should note is that the articles are inconsistent. "French people" is NOT about ethnic French. "Spanish people" IS about ethnic Spaniards. "Swedish people" which redirects to "Swedes" IS about ethnic Swedes. "German people" which redirects to "Germans" is NOT about ethnic Germans, etc...
Thanks for the welcome...I've been on here for over three years, but thanks, regardless. That said, the other user did not cite sources correctly. In addition, the very first NYT statement was deleted. The other statements were kept, but that user should provide a convincing argument for why they deleted it. Regardless, I'm more concerned about the references, where correctly cited sources help maintain the article's FA status. I maybe should have approached the matter in a different way, but the user's edits should be reverted. Now, since I am at the three-edit threshold I will hold my edit until tomorrow, but you of all people should understand the importance of correctly citing a source. Thank you. BalticPat22Patrick (talk) 05:59, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Well, the IP user just violated the revert rule. Should I give them a free pass on that as well because they're an IP user? I don't want to begin an argument, but users should know how to cite sources correctly, regardless if they're an IP user or not (which I find to be completely ridiculous). That said, I already had to correct grammar, unlinked sources, and correct translations from French to English (which is nearly impossible to do completely correctly). I also re-added the entire deleted New York Times statement that the IP user deleted without providing any explanation. Lastly, the user's using books as references, which is fine. I just don't think they should delete a source that's readily available to dissect with one that's not as "available." Your tone doesn't need to be as edgy, either. I acknowledged my mishandling of the IP user, but I do not regret the actions I took. Lastly, I truly appreciate all you do for this article, and I hope that something this trivial doesn't change anything.BalticPat22Patrick (talk) 18:16, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
spam?
1 - How can you class a relevant historical site as "spam"?
2 - please do not delete messages, it only makes you look bad.
I understand and applaud your efforts to keep people from using Wikipedia to advertise their business(like what has happened to sites such as you tube), but the link I added is not advertising/spam. these are places and things that no longer exist.
CE/BCE usage for Maya stelae was not against any portion of the WP:MOS that I could find. If I am wrong, please point me to the correct information. I apologize if I am, but I believe I am not wrong in using CE/BCE for the article. - 205.167.124.179 (talk) 02:26, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
It was deleted, of course, due to me asking for its deletion :D Is the article better now? I mean, I added some info, and split the sections. – Novice7 (talk) 06:01, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

You have protected the wrong version, please correct it. Robert De Niro Sr.'s father was Italian-American and not Arbëresh (Albanian). Unfortunately, there is a video fragment on YouTube which has been completely misunderstood by many albanians who are now vandalizing a lot of wikipedia pages about Robert De Niro's origins. This is the video about De Niro's interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clIUE4SRDd8 and this is what many albanians think he stated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zVT2eipw4E (they think that he told about his albanian origins...)

With the Oscars now over, I've now begun the harsh and painstaking process of added more info and cleaning the article up. I'm adding a critical reviews section of the Oscar ceremony (since there is a lot of bad ones). Do you have any tips on how to keep it neutral.
It isn't vandalism, maybe it isn't required on the page and my intentions are to be funny; however, vandalism pushes it too far as the edit that I am making is actually informative to a reader who mistakes the page for jizz. Sometimes the attempts that editors make go too far. (talk)

Assistance with editor
Since you've edited many album article, I'd like to ask for help with a troublesome editor, Markelmitchell, who makes unconstructive edits to album articles on a daily basis, specifically to track listings by adding boldface, small scripts, and other unexplained, unnecessary changes, such as to In My Own Words.

Fine, except for the fact that I did nothing worth being templated over. Here are my edits to that article[3][4] and [5]. How did that warrant a template message on my talk page?

Never mind. This is a pretty stupid discussion to be having.

Hello... while I do regret (and apologize for) inadvertently undoing your rearranging of the template order at Basketball, I also feel quite strongly that your edit summary - "Thanks for your rollback missuse" - was out of line and rather inappropriate.

Nate Dogg
Not sure you would see this on my talk page, so I included here for your convenience:
I disagree with your interpretation of my comment. I was not attacking any users in particular (therefore no personal attacks) but the fascist regime that requires me to sign-in to pay proper tribute to a great artist now lost. That is to say, if such restrictions were not arbitrarily placed on this "sum of all human knowledge" then my constructive contributions would be made directly to the article and not the discussion page (as outlined in the "Be Bold" section of the Wikipedia Welcome). Further, if there were to be a personal attack made, I would call into question your ability to logically reason and command the English language as you want me to "rephrase [my] comment as a civil criticism of the article" when there were no criticisms of anything but the article present in my comment; simply that the article had a minor misspelling that I would have liked to have fixed but could not due to restrictions imposed by "someone else". And even then, if I were to make such statements about your frivolous and vulgar abuses of power, I would argue that it my saying so would be less of a personal attack and more of an observation of circumstances. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.55.118.152 (talk) 06:36, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

The link you gave me is great. It has plenty of information that will be of great help to expand other articles of Beyonce. Jivesh • Talk2Me16:22, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
To tell you frankly, editors at FAC are too demanding. The composition section is already great. By the way, i do not think he was talking about the composition section only. He wanted to verify if the article contains all the information that can be found on it on reliable sources. Just tell him a YES. Jivesh • Talk2Me16:30, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Wait i just figured out what he means. I think that he wants more information on recording and production (of course only if there is) and the information should not be from magazines. I will try find some. Jivesh • Talk2Me16:32, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

@Novice, neither iTunes or Amazon are "unreliable", and you had to argue otherwise. Neither source is unreliable unless it has a characteristic listed here or it is blacklisted. Here, Nikki argued that Yahoo! "blog" is unreliable because of the use of the word "blog", I denoted her that this was not true at all, so you have to do two things a) Defend the article the most you can and b) Still being flexible about reviewers.
Hope you have read my message above. Tbhotch, i want to ask you something but i am a bit scared. Please do not get me wrong. You count a lot for me, more than you think. I mean that you are a very good friend on Wikipedia and everyone here on Wikipedia is like my second family. What i want to ask is that, are you sure Nathan vandalize your talk-page? I mean, don't you suspect someone else... Someone with whom you had a fight, other than Nathan. Please do not be angry Tbhotch. I just wanted to ask. I know you consider me as a good friend (I saw it here and i feel very happy to be in that short list) and i do not want to lose your friendship. Try to think about what i told you with a cool mind. Trust me, you are not the only one to have had problems with Nathan. I have suffered from kind of a fate (February 11, 2011 but was not so serious). I am not taking his side. I just want you both to clear your misunderstandings (if there is any). I am telling you once again my friend, i left you this message with a good intention. Try to think about it. I will wait patiently. Jivesh • Talk2Me12:16, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
For the first point, I believe I'll request a copy-edit, could you recommend me one? I remember an user has helped you before with those things. For the second, as I said at his SPI, I like to know why an IP vandaiize my page. I immediately recognize if I already know that user, for example, if this IP starts with 86.xxx.... I know he is CharlieJS13 (talk·contribs), but this IP has nothing to do with me (apparently) until I saw his edits to Theuhohreo page. You better than no one knows that he has done nothing to no one. Peter argued he never had contact with him, but he is in the same Wikiproject that Nathan used to participate. After I saw that the IP comes from Miami, I first thought in him, but well, I was not sure until I saw that "I come from Miami Beach", and all fit. I'm not angry with this Jivesh, and in some measure an indef block (which is not the same as infinite) is excessive, but a kind of action had to be done he has a long-term sockpuppetry abuse. According to the SPI, he was caught on the IP autoblock, so, I have nothing to say about this. Tbhotch* ۩۞19:42, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey, just wanted to know why There Are Rules got a C rating. (This sounds like a bitchy "This article deserves better than this!" post, but trust me, it's not.) It has a fair deal of prose and sources already, but I trust your judgement. Mostly I'm interested in what you feel I can do to fix it up going forward. Thanks! Rwiggum (Talk/Contrib) 19:26, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
He wasn't in the film that IP added: this user has caused a major problem creating fake characters and assigning actors to them. I'm having a hell of a time cleaning up after his considerable messes, and I don't want to screw up your table on that page. Could you remove that film from his filmography? I'd appreciate it :> Doctalk08:00, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, unless you read the sources, you won't know whether or not they have valuable information you might need, be it about the songwriting or recording or promotion of the record. It's up to you to determine if those sources have something you might need or if all there is is just miscellany--my main concern was to make sure you you can exhausted all source options before we proceed further during the FAC process. If you still need to research sources, I suggest withdrawing the FAC at this point. WesleyDodds (talk) 05:59, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
His block has been shortened after he confessed and agreed not to repeat. Can you explain to me what is going on? What is he so angry with you about?—Kww(talk) 21:27, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Tbhotch, I don't want to bother you, but I'd like to make a question, if you don't mind. Portuguese naming convention is the same as in the United States: the first name is the given name, then (usually) comes the surname of his mother and lastly the father's surname. Why an explanation in the article, then? Regards, --Lecen (talk) 11:30, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
I understand that, but does that means that we will have to add this kind of note to every single article about a Brazilian or a Portuguese? --Lecen (talk) 19:25, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
After your latest edit's Fleetham went and deleted most of the citations and then claimed that there were no citations. This type of behavior is highly disruptive and is hostile in this case. If you view the Lanix history you can see that Fleethan has had some type of long standing disdain for this company for whatever reason and he has also gone and removed refrences sourced even from the Lanix website. Multiple users have asked him yo stop yet he continues with blatant disregard to other opinions. You can see that other users have tried with no luck to negociate with him but he refuses to accept their views. And the sources he says are illigitimate are not "weird blogs" SPK (Sputnik) is Mexico's largest and most respected electronics information network and one of the largest and most repected in latin America And if their text isnt enough proof you can simply watch the videos in their articles used in the citations which feature Lanix emlpoyees themselves stating what is also in the text. While i don enjoy Fleethams input around wikipedia, this type of behavior is unacceptable 75.80.58.122 (talk) 03:32, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Halo suggestion
Well, that was an interesting outcome! Tough place. May I suggest that you list it at WP:GOCE/REQ, and that when you start the next FAC you comment about how Yahoo and About.com are reliable, as the prose quality and reliability of sources were the only major concerns? Adabow (talk · contribs) 05:51, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
rolls eyes* Something really needs to be done with FAC. I mean, it's not like there are going to be fewer candidates in the future. It's a shame that so many articles fail because there aren't enough reviewers. Anyway, good luck...! Adabow (talk · contribs) 06:15, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

The behind of the scenes video from the platinum edition of I am... Sasha Fierce has some information about "Halo". Jivesh • Talk2Me16:28, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
"Halo, ummm i feel like it is angelic, you know it feels like you can see angels when you hear it and anyone, it's just like you see their face instantly when you hear it.
(Day 2)... The music video is very intimate, romantic and the house in which we are shooting is beautiful. And i am trying to make sure that we can get to the pool because i think it could be really beautiful. I have never open my eyes in the water ever in my life. I have always been afraid. Halo, it's very simple but it has a lot of strings and it also has interesting drums , ummm it is a great mixture of hip hop and R&B and it is basically saying that you know i had these walls built up about love and you completely tore that down and you know when i look at you i see your halo, it's really beautiful."
Listen Tbhotch, i really have no idea whether this is going to be useful but i did it because you do a lot for me and it is kind of a way through which i can thank you. Jivesh • Talk2Me12:33, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you again, but could you perhaps give me a quick bit of assistance here Talk:Lanix. Thankfully an adminstrator has reverted Fleethams constant edits and the page is currently blocked from editing but Fleetham is has shown no sign that he is planning to accept what numerous other users have written. 75.80.58.122 (talk) 16:47, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Lanix Concensous
On the Lanix talk page we are now voting on a concensous to see what to do with the Lanix article. We need you to prove that our view is correct. If Fleetham honors the concensous then we can simply get him to stop the edit war by coming to a concensous that we are correct simply by having both of us explain why our position is correct. Please Help here Talk:Lanix. 75.80.58.122 (talk) 20:14, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
I have several ongoing arguments (six months long) with this user (fleetham) and his actions always follow the same patterns. I would recommend reporting him, this style of editing (deleting nearly an entire page and replacing it with chopped up tiny sections, studded with references but wothout any real content) is a persistent habit of his. ⊂| Mr.choppers |⊃ (talk) 15:31, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

In truth I feel bad for Kevin because that guy has trusted him so many times. Its everytime Kev is the one who feels perturbed by it. And yeah, I thought of explaining about the policy things, but then I noticed those heinous comments. Whoosh goes my faith! And when the hell will Jivesh learn what is joke and what isn't?

Legolas, i respect you a lot for what you do for all of us but i sincerely feel that you have a big problem with me. You always have something to say about me. Well, i swear it does not affect me in any way when you tell something about me but please keep Beyonce away. I really do not like it when you or anyone else compare her to a banshee or something similar. Even when it is a joke. Jivesh • Talk2Me08:52, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Ok then is Beyonce a hag Jivesh? Grow up. Axl, I still remember when American Life failed you had said "Now Legolas will be happy", lol I was like wtf is this dude talking? And I'm impressed you kept your hoe copyright shut :P — Legolas(talk2me)08:56, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. I will definitely grow up but i will never become like you. Simply because i am not like you. I mean, you can tel people things straightforward but will never be able to do so. I always try to be very polite (i do not know if this is the right word). Anyway, thanks for the advice again. Jivesh • Talk2Me09:00, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, we have to do something with Halo, WoW and GoW, those bastards will pay!!!

"Girl" has this amazing sample by Diplo called "Pon de Floor". You can find it in YouTube. Have you heard the "Born This Way" Indian remixes? They are great! — Legolas(talk2me)05:56, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Well, nowadays artist calls everything a sample when it is a blatant plagarism. And generally, I don't like remixes, but exist very few exceptions like "Scream Louder" and "Naturally (Dave Audé Remix)/(Dave Audé Club Mix)". And it's me or Jiv is gagging? Oh and by the way, Jiv I added the information you gave me, do you have the location? Thank you so much. Tbhotch* ۩۞07:38, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Yes, it's really me. Lol. Tbhotch, you do not have top thank me so much. Trust me, you are most welcome. I will always be happy to help, especially when it concerns Beyonce. Sorry, i do not have the location. Try to ask Adabow. Jivesh • Talk2Me10:27, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Not strictly a remix, but Tbhotch have you heard Love in This Club Part II? Also sampling isn't really plagarism coz the original artist must agree to the sample first. And OMG Diplo song first Legolas? I've wanted to hear what the BK vs Diplo track sounds like... and it's a "club banger"? I wouldn't expect him to produce a dancey song?

Protection request
I didn't notice until after you removed the attempt at protection for Canadian Pacific that I either did it wrong or don't have permission to do it.

As such, I would like to request protection for the page as it is a page that children may visit and material added at times has been vulgar or offensive. Thank you.

Gotcha! So something like this would have a proper summary to the samples right? I also that example posted on the guide was odd where it said: "16 second sample from Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower". I've added more description for the samples on Romances. Also, I don't know why it does it twice. I selected the "audio sample" from the licensing tag selection. Magiciandude (talk) 01:53, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Well that's odd, because I haven't copy/pasted anything. What I've done is fill out the form in the template, and selected the correct licensing form.

Hi my friend. I hope you are in good health. Nobody is commenting at FLC. What should i do? Can i ask someone to do so? Jivesh • Talk2Me10:38, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
Since apparently you are watching my age I'll reply here. I personally do not like to invite people to review my GANs, FLCs and FACs because it would be considered as a canvassing vote. You should wait people to comment, it's normal when no one comments, very few people review featured candidates. Anyway you withdrew its nomination, so for now, you have to work more on it.

Hi Tbhotch, I understand that SVG is preferred but If you go to the official website you can see the logo exactly as the version I uploaded, so this SVG version is a bad version, thanks for worry about Real Madrid logo but I think that is preferred an official version than a non-official SVG format against PNG. Also, for reasons of copyright is better a low resolution, my image complies this and is not the intention of Wikipedia to facilitate higher versions of non-free logos as SVG allows. A salomonic solution is to upload a SVG version of the image that I uploaded (you can download the EPS image at the source url that I put in the summary description: http://www.vflnet.com/infos/spain/real_madrid_cf/) but I don't know how to convert an EPS file to an SVG file, if you can do it for me, I will appreciate.

Hi, I saw your request on the GOCE page and reworked the section so it should flow a lot better now.

Hi, I notice you've been judiciously adding protection tags to articles when I (often) neglect to do so after protecting an article. Much appreciated! But I must say, this seems like drudge work suited to a bot. There's a bot to remove the tags. Isn't there a bot that can auto-tag protected articles?
No, it isn't exist. Only DUMBot remove templates, but there's no bot for add them. Anyway, I have not problem with it, I've done it by months. Just one of the thing very few humans still doing here. Tbhotch* ۩۞04:35, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

I've removed several bits of information in the "Voting Trends and Summary" sections that I feel are unverifiable or are irrelevant to the article.

This is to notify you that an RfC has been opened regarding proposed edits in Chevrolet Vega. The discussion is located here.
You star, thanks. You can work out the "For" statement via talk pages, or just be BOLD and work it out iteratively.
My thoughts are that in these respects, the Vega article should be significantly edited: it should reflect clearly the Vega's legacy, it's role in the US auto industry and it's marred track record. It should be considerably more concise. It should rely less on fan trivia and less than transparent sources. And it should include less of one editors photographs, personal vehicles and promo photos from General Motors. That's the basic thrust for me. 842U (talk) 21:30, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello my good friend. I see you have reverted my edits to the page on rainbows due to lack of sources.
Unfortunately at this time I cannot chase down a reference on the internet (my original source is from a natural world almanac), but I was able to find this picture of the Qingdai shootdown incident which shows the intruder making contact with the terrain.
I note that English is not your first language. In my tongue we have an idiom: "a picture is worth a thousand words". Perhaps this is better than a written source?
For the other incident I have nothing as yet, but will try my best to investigate this strange and troubling anomaly.

Too wide a variety of IPs to range block, even with a soft block. Semi-protecting your talk page would get us part of the way, but it also would make him harder to identify.

Nah, it is complete. Except a part of the lead. I have even included those "I can't pronounce" Swedish and Swiss award names too. And that too with one hand. Madonna should pay me sometimes I think. :P — Legolas(talk2me)05:49, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

"Expanding on the use of religious imagery ... and liberals alike." -> the whole paragraph is relevant to Madonna biography not to her "awards and nominations"
"Madonna's seventh studio album Ray of Light (1998) became one of her most critically acclaimed, recognized for its lyrical depth." -> you should mention that it was rewarded with many awards.
"Departing from Warner Bros. Records, Madonna signed an unprecedented $120 million dollar contract with Live Nation the same year." -> Irrelevant as well
" Considered to be one of the most influential women in contemporary music, Madonna has been known for continually reinventing her music and image and for retaining a standard of anonymity within the recording industry; she is recognized as an influence among numerous music artists" -> The same
"Madonna has won 217 awards from 408 nominations" -> contradicts the infobox
Awards
American Moviegoers' Awards -> Evita is linked twice
American Music Awards -> "been nominated for seventeen times" -> typo
AOL TV Viewer Awards
television -> overlinked
Madonna has won "Best TV Concert" award in 2002 -> "has won ... in 2002" grammatically incorrect
The Drowned World Tour and HBO are overlinked
Billboard -> should not those 4 awards be subsections?
Billboard Music of the '80s Poll Awards -> Into the Groove is overlinked on the table
Hollywood Walk of Fame -> in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, United States, -> North America, America, Earth...why not simply Hollywood, California?
International Rock Awards -> International Rock Awards (1989–1991) ... Madonna has won -> Which is the chance the IRA return?
Japan Gold Disc Awards:
why the Japanese text?
True Blue and Like a Prayer are overlinked
Juno Awards -> "won two of which" -> Is this correct?
MTV awards -> as Billboard
MTV Video Music Awards -> "Like a Virgin", "Express Yourself" are overlinked
MTV Artist of the Decade -> why are you mentioning the catfight?
MVPA Awards -> and so I wonder: Would Madonna be candidate to "Best Cinematography", "Best Special Effects" and "Best Make-Up", those awards go to the crew, and she was not part of it, was she?
UK Music Hall of Fame -> "along with The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley and U2" -> relevance?
My main concern here is, as you know, that it is probably incomplete. Madonna has not won <500 awards in >20 years. Also, some of the awards listed here are not awards (e.g. Top Selling Female Rock Artist of the 20th Century), they are recognitions. Unless the page is called: "List of awards, nominations and recognitions received by Madonna" they should be removed.
Check the overlinking and the score on the infobox as well. Those are my comments, I hope they help you. Tbhotch* ۩۞07:04, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
I have gotten on the Ancestry.com website and have look up Robert Pattinson. Two main ones come up in to regard to his birthday. I believe it is the one that says just "Robert Thomas Pattinson" not the "Robert Douglas Thomas Pattinson." Also he has never stated that he has two middle names

May we please revert to the previous "shield" University of Delaware logo on aesthetic grounds? The new logo here is just plain *ugly* and too generic looking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wyclif (talk • contribs) 19:48, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
In my opinion, the best way to get someone to stop posting on your talk page is to totally ignore them. (I am perfectly watching your talk page, so you may reply here or on mine or at WQA or not at all.) Gerardw (talk) 20:00, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Unfortunately "ignore" is as bad faith as my comment. The only difference is that they cannot report me to relevant noticeboards. Tbhotch* ۩۞20:14, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Exactly. Plus it's way less work for you. I don' think it's bad faith -- WP is voluntary and you're under no obligation to deal with anyone you don't want to. Gerardw (talk) 20:31, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Hey, I just saw you left a comment on Talk:Extranjera. Do you know how it's being released now? It's going to be a 14-song CD and a DVD, but 7 of the songs are the ones from Extranjera: Primera Parte. What do you think? -- ipodnano05 * leave@message20:10, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
As of right now, it hasn't been released yet, but it's already official. If everything goes according to the plans, what should be done? -- ipodnano05 * leave@message20:28, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
And would the Extranjera: Segunda Parte infobox have it as a studio album. Also, in the Harry Potter soundtracks, I only think they are merged for now because little is known about the second part. A lot more is known for the second part of Extranjera. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message20:48, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Also, I think it depends on whether it charts separately or as one on charts. If it charts separately, I think it'd be best to split the articles. If not, then one should suffice. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message22:01, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
It would seem that I have fallen within the sights of an immature adolescent with far too much time on his hands and a serious need for attention (or perhaps mental evaluation). I've semi-protected my talk page for now, but if you happen to stumble across any future idiocy, do feel free to revert it. Many, many thanks for the assist.

Hi. Please be civil! Why are you terrorising me and posting intimidating messages? How is my edit to the lead not legitimate. The information is correct, and in fact it is supported by references provided. It was also present in the article on the other place, but is being censored out of the lead. Please stop harrasing me! Also, you delete my comment about CONTENT of the article from the talk page. That is borderline vandalism and abuse of other editors!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.198.220.89 (talk) 06:29, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
There are problems with your behavior. The edits are in no way disruptive, nor are they defamatory (perhaps you have problems with English, but are blinded by your arrogance)! The issue is if to mention this in the lead, as all these things are already mentioned in the article. If you could read, you could check it yuorself, instead of threatening people here!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.198.220.89 (talk) 06:33, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Please move your issues with lead to the Kutner page to the relevant talk page, that you keep deleting from. Please NOTE that removing content from the TALK page, which is for discussion of disputes and resolution of issues like the one we obviously have with Kutner page lead, is far from civil and constructive behavior. It will not be resolved by you simply deleting the relevant page of TALK page, that you disagree with. This is borderline vandalism and WILL be reported to admin, if you keep trying to delete my part of discussion. Instead, put your issues on the talk page, not remove it from it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.198.220.89 (talk) 06:40, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello. As you noted in your comment on 'requests for page protection', you are getting close to a 3RR violation on Lawrence Kutner. My suggestion would be to back off editing the page for a bit. Try to work things out through discussion. If that means the page is 'wrong' or 'biased' for a few days it isn't likely to be the end of the world. Barring some sort of potential legal action over the content of the page you usually shouldn't worry about it. Someone else is bound to come along and correct it OR in many cases the argumentative user will move on after a few days and things can be straightened out then. --CBD15:39, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
TGilmour GANs
Hey, I noticed you quick-failed a couple of TGilmour's good article nominations on articles he had nothing to do with. I was wondering can you please quick-fail his good article nomination of Eden Hazard, as well. I have spent a lot of time editing the article and, while it is very informative, I don't think it is polished enough to become a good article yet. Thanks. — JSRant Away23:57, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Capitalization and punctuation
First of all, commas and other forms of punctuation are included in quoted text, regardless of whether they are included in the original text. Trust me, people can tell if the song has a comma in the title or not. I'd just like Wikipedia articles to be more grammatically correct.
Second, we don't have to use the word "number" all the time to denote a song's position on the charts. Feel free to check out other Wikipedia articles on musicians to confirm this. We also tend to capitalize the first letters of terms that denote chart positions, such as "number one" and "top five." Again, you can confirm this by reading Wikipedia articles or any other piece of writing that discusses songs.
Wait, so if Wikipedia doesn't use hashtags, then how come the page on Reba McEntire, which just happens to be a "good article," has a bunch of them in it? --DorkyA.N. (talk) 18:55, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Tbhotch. Please check your email; you've got mail! It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.
Thank you for figuring out the proper way to do it. And sorry for copyvio split. There was no edit conflict I understood what your intention was right way and it was definitely the more proper way for part one. Now I just got to figure out how to fix part two. Jhenderson77714:36, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
