Bessler made look like a fake but Free Energy movement likes him
Hi! I saw you removed the paragraph saying that Bessler might not have been a fake, but he invented his wheel according ot some to us unknown natural principle. Satelites indeed steal gravitational energy from planets, and it is not excluded that we'd be able to prove Bessler's wheel or some other mechanism is capable of borrowing energy from Earth's rotation or other grav source.
This far the article describes Bessler as a complete fake, which is not neutral compared to Free Energy movement members who think he is genuine. It is not proven Bessler is a fake, so Wikipedia should presume him innocent and report in a more NPOV style. Neutral point of view. -- Mtodorov 69 22:53, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Articles for deletion
Hi, just to let you know that when leaving a vote for an article for deletion, you should do so on the appropriate AfD page, not on the article itself. There is usually a link to this in the AfD notice. For Howdy radio, the place to put your vote is Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Howdy_radio. I've moved your vote for you for this article. All the best Martinp23 19:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Writing technologies
You make a good point. I didn't think the article warrented speedy deletion, but I wasn't familiar enough with the other articles to suggest a merge (what's the correct tag for an article that needs to be deleted because it's a repeat?) Perhaps one of use should warn the new guy. I just can't stand it when they indent. Czolgolz 17:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Just a note to let you know the article has been completely rewritten in the time since you voted on AfD. dryguy 16:02, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Many thanx 4 your message. I have sent an email to United Friends and Families Campaign (i must create that page when i have time!!) http://www.uffc.moonfruit.com/ to request permission to use the text. Hopefully they will reply to permissions in a few days - I hope thats OK. Thanks again. Paki.tv 01:34, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Burns stanza
Hi: apologies for not noticing that the Habbie stanza article was already extant. I think, however, that i may be better to redirect from Habbie stanza to Burns stanza, rather than vice versa (as it is at the moment). In all the mentions of the verse form I've ever seen it is referred to as the Burns stanza. What do you think. --Jim (Talk) 13:31, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not eminently qualified yet, and I may not ever be if I don't stop editing Wikipedia articles and get on with my dissertation :-) ! But I think I am right, and will move the content to Burns stanza when I get a chance.
Boy Meets Grill
Unless you are going to expand it, I feel that the prod should be there. It was in hopes that the articles creator would have taken the time to expand it. I feel that if someone is going to start an article they should at least make it of suitable length. Yes there should be an article on Boy Meet Grill, but it's only two lines and worthy of it being kept around. Mr. C.C. 03:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Chumby AfD
Would you change your vote now that there are many (5+) independent sources for the chumby [1]? About the genericization, it's almost - yes I said "almost" occuring. There aren't phrases like "chumby it" yet. Probably because it's not for sale retail yet. It's certainly not a hoax. This is the last of WP:CORP that needs to be met.--x1987x(talk) 17:26, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- The product is so "out in left field" there is nothing similar. It's in a category all to it's own with no competitors so genericization is not really expected. Who else has a "beside computer." Would you please change your vote or explain why you have kept your stance? Thank you. --x1987x(talk) 23:50, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
request for immediate help
This is a request for immediate help from Kmaguir1 07:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC). If you have time, I'd like you to examine the Bell Hooks article and talk page. It's a scholarly article about a controversial writer, someone who drew the ire of a conservative commentator. They wanted me to go get the quote from her book, and I did that. But now, they're arguing it's not notable. As a fellow AfD frequenter, you will know that of all the meaningless academic trivia included on her page, that what they wanted to exclude was really ridiculous: that she says as an opening to her book, Killing Rage, "I am writing this essay sitting beside an anonymous white male that I long to murder". This may in itself be notable, but David Horowitz wrote about it in 100 Dangerous Professors, and it was written about on front page mag, and all the citations are given on the page. I would appreciate your help--I'm contending with some very difficult Marxists who are attached to her work, and think that they're defending the liberal cause, but really, they're just keeping out material that is very easily notable.-Kmaguir1 07:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- Greetings. In the interest of disclosure, I'd like to inform you of a conduct RfC on Kmaguir1. It's here: Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Kmaguir1. If you have time and are so inclined, feel free to provide comments there. Meanwhile, if you go to the bell hooks page, please do join in the discussion. If you read the Talk page and look at my and others' edit histories, you'll see that the picture is not quite as Kmaguir1 paints it. (I have no idea who the Marxists are he's referring to, and I've also edited his text for improvement, and left it in the article, vs. what he's saying here.)
- Bottom line: welcome to bell hooks, be aware of the RfC, and feel free to join it. Cheers,--Anthony Krupp 17:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

B-36 Peacemaker Museum
In response to your comments on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/B-36 Peacemaker Museum, there is a big difference between Napolean Bonaparte and an obscure museum in Texas that only exists on the internet, has never been opened and gave away its primary artifact that it was founded to restore. It won't break my heart if the article is retained, but I just don't feel that it can really be called a museum in its current state. Thanks. --rogerd 16:33, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Wikification
As a trusted member of the WP:WWF, can I ask you to take a look at the contributions of User:JubalHarshaw? His idea of wikifying is adding one or two wikilinks to an article of 5, 6 paragraphs and adding a generic "Overview" section header. I've restored some of the tags on "wikfications" he has made, but I was wondering if you'd take a look to see if there's some you think are dubiously wikified. Someone brought this up to him a few weeks ago and he said that he would only add links when it "would be relevant, in context, or provide more information that may add to the understanding of the article" but I don't think that just one wikilink in an article of thousands is the way to do it. Would you take a look at this? Thanks, Metros232 15:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hi! I got your message. I didn't know I'd become a trusted member of the wikification project! :) I only had a quick look a at a few of the edits User:JubalHarshaw made recently, and they seem okay to me. The degree to which additional links are added does't have hard and fast rules. What one person might consider relevant to add as a link, others might not. I might have added a couple more here or there but I don't see a huge problem with what he has done. Are there particular articles that you felt are of concern? Regards. --Whpq 16:19, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Lansing Crusaders with its one wikilink comes to mind and its generic "overview" header. And Dummy rummy with one wikilink for an article of that length seems pretty unwikified. Those are just a couple that I've stumbled upon. Lake Lansing is another one too. It has two wikilinks but about six external links imbedded in the article. Metros232 16:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- You could have brought these directly to me. I would have happily taken your suggestions on how to improve my wikification. Is "Overview" a bad header for a simple overview of the topic at hand? For stubs? You should really give me a bit more detail on how I can improve. JubalHarshaw 02:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Wikification is not just "wikilinks" ... please see my response on my talk page for a list of other tasks we deal with. I did a lot of work on the Dummy rummy pages as far as sectioning. What should I wikilink? Joker? Score? Meld? Rummy was already linked at the beginning to give a basic overview. JubalHarshaw 02:33, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- I have added a few more wikilinks to the above articles. Next time, perhaps bring your concerns directly to me if you feel something I have wikified is "dubiously wikified" ... tell me and I will make improvements. JubalHarshaw 04:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ian G. Walker, you commented on the list of books in the article Ian G. Walker:
Delete - notability is doubtful, and references provided in the article appear to be books by the article's subject (hardly independeny sources).
I think the intention of the person who added the list of books was to establish Ian G. Walker as a published author. Accordingly, I have changed moved those books from References to Publications in the article. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 08:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Wii Startup Disc
I noticed that you voted for delete on the AfD page of Wii Startup Disk. User:TJ Spyke has provided us with the following information: "In the new IGN Weekly (IGN Weekly Holiday 06), they have the final Wii box and take everything in it out. There was no startup disc there (they also re-confirm that Wii Sports will just come in the same cheap cardboard that Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt came in)." Please consider changing your vote to redirect, as this disc does not exist, and people may search for it and need a redirect. A consensus for this issue would be excellent.

Could you clarify why you chose delete instead of Transwikification? The transwikification won't have any ill effects on the quality of the pike article and still removes the material from Wikipedia while putting it where it belongs (on WikiBooks). - Mgm|(talk) 11:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well, you don't have to make a judgment. If they don't want it, they can delete it, but I think it would be a shame to delete an article when it could be moved instead. - Mgm|(talk) 13:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Dear Whpq I have the change the information in the article to reflect the aims of wikipedia. MUGEN NoE is just another word for MUGEN, in my personal point of view a research consortium should be pointed out in wikipediaand it will be more helpful or equivalent to a video game or a motorcycle etc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mugen).

Hello, thanks for the question.
I feel that titles such as "The Story Unravels" and phrases such as "The bounced payroll checks, letters and phone calls to her father, Abraham Quintanilla, from disappointed fans were the wake-up call", "Selena apparently made up her mind", and "They quickly became friends" read more like a magazine and aren't completely factual sentances.

Re: Spanish F3
See Formula Three Euroseries for an example. It really needs to be brought up to at least that standard, and it is realistically achievable. Additionally, it is not appropriate to have a seperate article for the Copa F300 class, hence the merge review. I am currently developing Wiki's F3-related content, and I will be happy to contribute to the Spanish F3 article in due course. Adrian M. H. 23:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- We'll agree to differ on the formatting, but I still think that it is deficient: no proper introductory paragraph, no series infobox, poor wording, and the list should be a table. No references either. An unfinished mess, but I suppose just one of many. I've long list of things to do regarding F3, but I will get around to improving this article fairly soon. Adrian M. H. 15:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have since looked at your own Wikify project, and the article in question meets two of the three listed criteria for articles that need wikification. That surely qualifies it for a wikify tag? Adrian M. H. 16:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply, Whpq. I will give an outline of the requirements as you suggested. It will probably be attended to by me or another WP:MOTOR member. Adrian M. H. 16:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Round Earth Theatre Company, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Half-diminished scale.
Hello, Whpq,
In reference to your question, first, let's clarify two terms: a diminished scale is one of alternating Tones and Semitones. (See Octatonic Scale). Second, a "half-diminished" chord is, in effect a minor seventh chord, flat 5 (e.g., C, Eb, Gb, Bb). Notice the intervals of this chord: min 3, min 3, min 3, and maj 3. This chord occurs naturally in the Locrian Mode (picture white keys only on a piano, with B treated as the "tone centre"). The resultant Tonic 7th chord is B, D, F. A. You will will find that the intervals of this chord correspond to "half-diminished" chord described above.
The octatonic scales may begin Tone-Semitone (what jazz musicians call the "whole-half" scale), or Semitone-Tone ("half-whole" scale). An octatonic (diminished) scale, built on B, and beginning Semitone-Tone ("half-whole") contains the notes B, D, F and A:
- B(Cb), C, D, D#(Eb), F, F#(Gb), G#,(Ab), A, (B)(Cb).
In the half-diminished scale of B, since the the intervals are alternately evenly spaced, a half-diminished chord may also be built not only on the Tonic, B, but on every second note of the scale, resulting in these other half-diminished chords:
- (D, F, Ab, C); (F, Ab, Cb, Eb); (G#, B, D, F#).
Because this diminished scale permits a Tonic "half-diminished" chord, it is therefore sometimes called the "half-diminished" scale. It can be built upon ANY of the twelve semitones of the octave. Consequently, any "half-whole" diminished scaled may be called a "half-diminished" scale.
It is a "general rule" of the diminished scales, that whatever kinds of chords can be build on one particular note of the scale can be also be built on alternate notes of the scale, the roots of which together form a diminished seventh chord. Since any octatonic scale consists of the culmination of two diminished seventh chords, two sets of "chord types" are available in any diminished scale.
Hope this has answered your question! Thank you for using wikipedia.
Regards, Prof.rick 08:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC) PS: A copy of this response has also be placed on my talk page.
I will also look into the "Half-Diminished Scales" article, first checking its accuracy and clarity. If warranted, I will try to establish a "Redirect" to "Octanonic Scales." Prof.rick 08:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Very confusing!
I agree, the article on the "half-diminished" scale is very confusing. It's very vague, and provides no useful information. If you check the article, half-diminished seventh chord, you will find that this chord can be found in three scale types (the one I gave you above is truly a scale...the other two are modes.
I've tried a bit of research on the so-called "half-diminished scale", and apparently it is pretty new term, and now widely accepted. It creates confusion between diminished scales and the Locrian mode. I did find another definition for a "half-diminished" scale, but it is simply the Locrian mode (mode VII of a major scale). Most musicians simply prefer to call this the Locrian mode, to avoid confusion with the diminished scales.
I can't see any point in merging it with another article. Perhaps it would be better to go to the Locrian Mode article, and simply add that it is sometimes called the "half-diminished" scale (even though most musicians don't use the term). Prof.rick 07:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for drawing my attention to a possible copy-vio on this article. It most certainly is not a copy violation of [2] as in November 2005 when this article was written with that material, McWeeny had not been awarded the Spiers Memorial Medal. The medal was actually given to him in September 2006 and the decision was taken in early 2006, not in 2005. I did start that article when I first joined WP but I do not recall copying from anything else. It is possible that I did being a raw newbie then, or it is possible that the RSC copied from Wikipedia. I'll try to check out other sources that the RSC might have copied it from but that might take a time. Could you revert the copy-vio blanking for now and just add a warning? I do take this seriously and will look at it over the weekend. --Bduke 01:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I'll remove blanking, and make a note in the article talk page. I had checked your edit history when I came across this, and copying a web page didn't look like the sort of thing you would have done, and considered contacting you first. I guess I should have goen that route first. Regards. -- Whpq 16:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

When tagging an article for speedy deletion as a copyright violation, you should probably place Template:Nothanks-sd on the creator's talk page.

I believe that you questioned the notability of the article about AR, putting up a notice to that effect.
The Wiki notability guideline for people states: "Criteria for notability of people A person is generally notable if they meet any of the following standards.... Athletes: Competitors who have played in a fully professional league ..." See WP:BIO.
He falls squarely within that category. Please delete the notice questioning whether he does so. Thanks.--Epeefleche 15:13, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Lilac
I really don't understand why it's necessary to remove an illustration of lilacs just because the article doesn't mention art.

- Well, it's pretty, for one. We can't use fair-use images just for decoration, but there's no reason we can't use public domain images for decoration. =) It also illustrates that lilacs have been a subject of artistic effort. A minor issue, admittedly; I'll give it some thought. Powers T 20:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

The problem is that the cached shortpages listing is 1,000 articles long, and only 1,000 articles long. Every article that shows up on this list that does not need attention by the short pages patrollers is one less article on the list that potentially could benefit from the attention. By regularly bumping off the list a variety of pages that do not need attention from the short pages patrollers, I bring onto the list more and more pages that may benefit from the attention.
As for lengthening the template, you would need to lengthen the tempalte name so that any use of it would be beyond that 1,000 pages limit. Currently that is working out to around 107 characters, but that's a moving target, subject to just how far down that 1,000 pages reaches each time the cached report is generated, which is once every 3 - 4 days currently.
One solution would be to have those who place the copyvio template subst it. The substed version of the template is far, far over the shortpages limit, and is thus a total non-issue. but for now, I have no problem adding the invisible comment to the pages to bump them down. The only person who's time is spent with it ends up being me. - TexasAndroid 19:41, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Gross vandalism
The article Suriyani Christians of Kerala is a repetition of the article Syrian Malabar Nasrani which is the main article detailing the cultural aspects of the Saint Thomas Christians of kerala who are also known as syrian christians or suriyani christians. This article cannot exist under the pretext of being a description of the cultural aspects of the st. Thomas christians for it already exists. Please read both these articles and you would realise that this has to be redirected to either the page Saint Thomas Christians or Syrian Malabar Nasrani. The author Tinucherian seems to be creating a page in his own pov without references. He has already deleted passages with references in Syrian malabar nasrani. If such vandals are not checked then wikipedia will loose all its credibility. The article Suriyani Christians of Kerala has been redirected to 'Saint Thomas Christians'.

I clarified the tag and added a message on the talk page... basically I was hoping someone would create sections within the biography. The sections tag is therefore more appropriate. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 14:46, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Just a head's up. I think you have done the right thing by AFDing this article but am not sure that you have the history of the article right. It was CSD'd and that was declined by Nawlinwiki. Emma's father didn't remove the tag or contest it except verbally on his talkpage and by adding references etc. I even suspect that KirkEnd who removed the Prod tag, may have done so in error, as part of another edit, but we can't know till we ask I guess! --Slp1 13:32, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of MCM DAV Public School Pathankot
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on MCM DAV Public School Pathankot, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because MCM DAV Public School Pathankot is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting MCM DAV Public School Pathankot, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Again, you are more than welcome to help edit the page listed in this title. Hughey 15:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Hughey 13:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - disagreements on copyright status of works is not vandalism. I've tried to engage in a discussion on the talk page of the article but that seems to have gotten nowhere. -- Whpq 13:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Wholesale removal of another's work is not how to handle a disagreement. You continue to remove large sections from that page and that is not the proper course of action. If you disagree with the content there are other means. You are also reverting more than is allowed by Wiki standards (3). Hughey 19:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - The point is that it isn't your work. It's copyrighted text which is an issue that I requested that you address in the talk page of the article, and has yet to be addressed. Note also that the 3-revert rule you reference is for a 24-hour period (for which I only reverted twice), and there is a specific statement of reverts to remove clear violations of the copyright, spamming or non-free content policies;, and as I mentioned, this is a copyright violation. But I have not made any additonal changes, and have requested a review of the article contents which is noted in the article talk page. -- Whpq 20:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Silent Partner. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you. Hughey 18:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- You, User:Hughey, have been invited to discuss on both your talk page, and on the article page why you insist on adding copyrighted text in violation of Wikipedia policy. Instead, you have removed a copyright violation tag which explicitly noted as not be removed until the copyright issue is resolved. You have not engaged in any meaningful discussion to resolve the issue. I asked for a neutral third party to look at the situation and this edittor agrees with the assessment of a copyright violation. Reverting copyright violations is not a violation of the three revert rule. -- Whpq 18:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Leave the page alone until an administrator has a look at it. Hughey 18:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I was leaving the page in a correct state with a copyright violation notice posted. You insisted on removing the notice. You were the one who was asked to leave it alone until an administrator had looked at it. -- Whpq 18:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- The Copy violation notice aside, your removal of material by a revert was improper.Hughey 19:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Aside from the copyright notification, there was a single "ref" put in that I did not realize I reverted. Subsequent reversions were all due to the removal of the copyright notification. You were informed twice, that removal of the copyright notification was improper but proceeded to do so despite that. Please point out to me the other reversions I have made that were not related to the copyright violation. -- Whpq 20:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

That was a heck of a run of vandalism on Addiction, I ran into it on RC Patrol, and did compare several versions, noticing that the most recent revert hadn't grabbed all the sections removed, but I also thought it pretty strange that an article such as that had no references and was in such poor condition, so added the tags.

Re your recent edit on my piece. {{story}}
It is a factual and historical piece, detailing what happened some 200 years ago. You may think it sounds like a story, but it is an indepth, hugely researched article. Please leave it alone. Seahamlass 20:35, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- Excuse me for butting in on somebody else's talk page, but if the article is hugely researched then this needs to be shown in the article by including sources. And it needs to be written as an encyclopaedic article rather than a story. I have nominated this article for deletion because when I searched Google I found no results other than this article. It may be that it is true and it may be that he is notable (I accept Google wasn't around 200 years ago) but you cite no sources in the article at all and Wikipedia doesn't accept original research.

Captain Richard Avery Hornsby
Actually I DO mind you butting in - and I would like to set you straight too. I have included THREE references to Captain Hornsby on the page:
Book: The History of the Town and Port of Sunderland, by James Burnett. Published in 1830. Houghton Hillside Cemetery record of burials: http://www.houghton-hillside-cemetery.org.uk/names_churchyard.html The ballads to Captain Hornsby can be found at: http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/navel-songs-ballads
The fact that little is known about him now is reflected in what I wrote in my first paragraph... he is 'almost forgotten' in everywhere except Sunderland - yet was hailed as a national hero at the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seahamlass (talk • contribs) 20:48, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I don't mind another editor butting in as Wikipedia is a collaborative endeavour. As for all this commentary, I suggest that it all be taken over to Talk:Captain Richard Avery Hornsby as there are multiple editors who have chimed in and discussion of the article belongs there. -- Whpq 20:51, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Revision history of Talk:Richard Avery Hornsby
Can I just ask WHY you are obsessed with editing this talk page? I fully understand that article pages shouldn't be blanked, as you don't own them after you've written them, but I'm sure I have read that comments made by people on talk pages ARE owned by them, and can therefore be deleted if they so wish. 80.176.190.43 23:14, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- See WP:TALK. In particular, removal of the contents of other editors comments should not be done. If you've read them and acknowledge them, feel free to post that in the comments on the talk page. The talk page serves as a record of the discussion that went on, and removal of the information is innapropriate. -- Whpq 00:40, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't delete things off of my newly-created page. I had references and sources, but you deleted them. If you want to get rid of the page then you fuckin nominate it, but you don;t make me look like no damn fool. I wish I knew where you were right now so I could go knock some sense into your bitch ass. And if you don't like the page leave it alone it is about an upcoming album, which means that it is not out yet you ass it will not be perfect and have the full info because IT IS NOT OUT YET!!!!!!! So please just leave me the fuck alone because as I find more info I will cite it and write it down and you better not come behind me and delete it. PS you internet bitches act like you own the whole damn site, don't get you ass merk'd besides this is an article about an AMERICAN rapper's AMERICAN album and you're from Canada, play your position. October 29, 2007 from a pissed Signshare, they won't leave me alone
- I removed only the information that was indicated as "rumoured". As per wikipedia policy on verifiability, information needs to be backed up with reliable sources. You claim that there were references and sources, but I deleted them. That is not the case. The version of the article I editted had no references. I've dug through the hostory and found this improperly formatted url which I beleive should be written as http://music.aol.com/popeater/2007/09/14/mims-plays-with-the-big-boys-readies-new-album/ In any case, its an AOL music blog that doesn't support the rumored material. -- Whpq 20:44, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Dambusters March
Hi. I wanted to separate out the March from the film itself. I know that it is the main theme to the film. However, it is fast becoming a military march in its own right and not in anyway connected with the film, but rather with the Squadron and the RAF itself. If someone wants to learn about the march, it is unhelpful to be directed to the film. Others speak of duplication. There is always plenty of that in any encyclopedia. It is best to let things evolve naturally. If you stifle articles on the grounds of dupilication, creativity also gets stifled. In my experience, it is better to let things evolve, and then clear them up later, if there is silly duplication. Wallie (talk) 19:19, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I see no problems with the current article and cannot help your further unless you provide more information. And if you do have that information, please post it at Talk:Nice so that other editors can easilt find it.
- With regards to Marbella, I am not going to sort through all the changes you made to determine if you copied them from another website. The majority of it was copied. And you, as the original editor would know better than I which edits you made were copied from a website. As such, you are in a much better position than I to do that editting. But I caution you that the material you added was a travel brochure with inappropriate tone.
