[edit] Thanks

Hi! Just before I left for school today I cut and pasted in the votes on that marriage amendment page, I saw it was a mess but I thought I would come back and fix it later (now) -- or that a bot would fix it, but no, YOU FIXED IT! and in a way more beautiful than I could have ever imagined was possible. I'm Saudade7 but I forgot to log on, so...thanks again so much! 136.152.227.235 00:20, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] soulseek

Hiya. Ive just created a new (and better, imo) userbox for soulseek and i thought is share it. you can look at it here. this new box allows you to share your soulseek username in the box itself. also, it adds your userpage to a category called "soulseek users". if you dont like the box but you want to be in the catergory just add [[Category: Soulseek users]]. anyhoo, just thought id let you know. -(chubbstar) ^{— talk | contrib | 06:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)}

[edit] Logs

Please make sure that you read all notices before making changes to a page. I am referring to this edit and the other edit like it. This page is a log of bot actions and is kept as a historical record. That is described in the template at the top of the page:

This is a log of operations by a bot. The contents of this page are unlikely to need human editing. In particular, links should not be disambiguated as this is a historical record.

Thanks, Cbrown1023 01:18, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

It is quite alright, an easy mistake. Happy editing! Cbrown1023 04:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arrested Development

I couldn't disagree with you more that the airdate order is what matters for the Arrested Development episodes. I attempted to open a discussion in the Talk, but neither you nor anyone else responded there. Instead, you reverted my entire edit, which wiped out many other useful changes in addition to resetting the episode order. It looks as if other people have stepped in to redo the other edits, but it would have saved a lot of people a lot of trouble, and been a lot more helpful for you to just make the intended change instead of reverting a whole significant edit. Better yet, discuss it in the talk page first, because I don't see any consensus anywhere that your view is shared by other editors. adavidw 08:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hats Off to the Buskers

I noticed you changed Hats off to the Buskers to Hats Off to the Buskers. It was my impression that "off" should not be capitalised according to Wikipedia guidelines. Whichever way I'm not really bothered but you broke the redirect from Hats off to the buskers (which is actually the capitalisation used on the album cover) as redirects don't follow chains. You also did not mark your new redirect as a {{R from other capitalization}}. A quick check of what links here would have shown you this. Fixed it now. Citizensmith 14:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure why "off" wouldn't be capitalized. Also, I don't follow what you're saying about the redirects. What do you mean by broke the redirect? Evan Reyes 19:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

There was a redirect from "Hats off to the buskers" (reached by typing in "hats off to the buskers" - the most common likely typed input) to "Hats off to the Buskers". That then became a redirect to another redirect when you moved the page. Redirects don't follow a second redirect so I had to go back and change the redirect from "Hats off to the buskers" to redirect to the new actual page "Hats Off to the Buskers". Simple enough but always has to be done if you move a page which already has existing redirects. Citizensmith 21:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I thought I had done it. Check my history, you'll see I've never made that mistake before. Evan Reyes 22:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Edit to Requiem for a Dream has been Reverted

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you.
:John Reaves 05:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry you felt that way, but it was vandalism. It would have been especially useful if you had bothered with an edit summary (see below). John Reaves 13:32, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] categorising

thank you for editing "live at the hammerstein ballroom". however, placing 3 or 4 different types of uncat tag is both useless and frustrating for the next editor. please refrain from doing this in the future.

--O keyes 08:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: categorising

ahh, apologies. i attempted to find the editor who created the various tags by scrolling through the previous edits until i found the uncat tags in use. evidently only the one was displayed. --O keyes 11:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for your opinion

Hi Evanreyes, I saw you had contributed to the list of top hat wearers on the Top hat page a while back (I think last August), so I think you might be interested in a move to delete List of bow tie wearers. That list could be combined with the Bow tie article, but I'm arguing that the list should stay as is. If you have an interest in whether or not that list should stay, please visit the deletion discussion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bow tie wearers) and throw your two cents in. Noroton 21:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for replying

No prob. Hope I didn't bother you, Noroton 22:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proper capitalization

Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Album titles and band names, the proper title of this article is Push It To The Limit. Specifically, the policy states:

In band names and titles of songs or albums… Note that short verbs (Is, Are, Do) and pronouns (Me, It, His) are capitalized.House of Scandal 02:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I am looking over the guidelines to make sure I am not wrong in this after scolding you! Please don't make another move until we suss it out okay? Thanks. House of Scandal 02:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I believe the proper title of the article *should* be Push It to the Limit. This will have to be taken to WP:RM though. Don't just copy and paste when moving to the correct title. --- RockMFR 02:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

A while ago, I made an article called James Brown is Dead. The above link was quoted to me and an administrator moved the article to James Brown Is Dead. From what I read carefully at the above link, your desire to have Push It To The Limit changed to Push It to the Limit was correct and James Brown is Dead shouldn't have been moved. Does that seem right? However, we can't just move the article via cut-and-paste. The history has to be moved too which is a whole adminstrator thing. House of Scandal 02:18, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions, the correct titles would be Push It to the Limit and James Brown Is Dead. "To" and "the" would not be capitalized; "is" would be capitalized. --- RockMFR 02:25, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I missed "short verbs are capitalized" meaning JBID is okay. I will ask an admin to move PITTL. House of Scandal 02:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page moves for My name is Earl

In case you weren't aware there are guidelines for naming of TV show articles, these are available at WP:NCTV - specifically "For an article created about a single episode, add the series name in parentheses only if there are other articles by the same name". This has also been the subject of a recent arbitration case, the outcome being that going against the consensus for those naming conventions can result in a short ban. Please avoid making such moves. --pgk 09:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not aware of all the background to the debate on it, so can't give you the arguments as to why the inconsistency is valid. The fact that it got as far as arbitration suggests that it has created a fair amount of bad feeling, so I guess the best thing to do is be careful. It's an unfortunate facet of wikipedia being this large, but in order to keep the peace people willfully ignoring that particular guide are likely to find themselves blocked for short periods. In this case no real harm done, just wanted to make sure you were knew you could find yourself walking into a controversial area. --pgk 10:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

There was a long debate that resulted in about an 80% supermajority to disambiguate only when necessary. Some in the minority did not accept this, leading to much acrimony, page move warring, and incivil comments being made. The details are at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Naming conventions, including the evidence and workshop subpages. Generally over rather minor things like this, it's best to respect the existing consensus even if you don't always agree. Thatcher131 19:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editing award page

Concerning your recent edits to the article 63rd Golden Globe Awards nominees. I've now reverted yet again your edit, per the exact same reasons as before. Also noting that the format in question is used in the articles for other "main" awards (see, for instance, the 79th Academy Awards, which is a somewhat recently created article).
I asked in my previous revert that if there was any particular reason for this, that it be brought up on the talk page beforehand. Instead, you repeated the edit, with what appears to be an automatic edit summary. Do not revert this again without a previous discussion on the talk page. Thank you. Redux 03:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for responding. It was indeed looking like an automated edit, on account of the edit summary. I had even considered that you could have been a bot, although the username was lacking the..."bot" part. Well, all seems resolved now. Cheers, Redux 11:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changing my user page

Please don't change things on my user page without asking first, I had the 'For' in 'Death Cab For Cutie' capitalized for a reason. -- Jowan2005 I have it at what I consider correct. -- Jowan2005

Hi. I realise that leaving Bjork without her umlaut was incorrect. But isn't it rather rude just to edit someone's user page without asking, saying hello, or saying why you're even interested? User pages aren't encyclopedic. White hotel 13:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Belle & Sebastian

I know where you were going with the AWB edits on that talk page, but "&" and "and" were there for a reason, so I rv'd it. It happens :) Mchmike 03:53, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Burning Man

Careful, you added an ! to Reno 911! when one was already there. Vees 23:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I beg to differ...

As you can see here, you clearly have edited on The Apprentice UK under 2 months ago. [1] I expect a return apology for your rudness. Dalejenkins 21:48, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

So I'm supposed to measure your opinions on a topic by the quality of your edits. COME ON! If you edit on an article, it's safe to asssume you have an intrest on what the article is about! Dalejenkins 16:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AWB use

Please be careful with tools that can make multiple changes. I've reverted your edit to Wikipedia:Articles for creation/2006-12-07. Cheers. --Geniac 14:19, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bros/Bro's

I'm pretty sure the official title has an apostrophe in it, however awkward that look in normal English: Fat Cat official site. I'm going to revert your changes in the morning unless you can show that I've missed something. At the very least, it's the official name of the single, even if it is different on the LP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeichman (talk • contribs) 00:06, March 24, 2007

[edit] Eep

I was not aware. Thanks for helpin' me out. -- mr ethanboy 14:33, 24 March 2007

[edit] Eh?

this edit to Donnie Darko didn't seem quite correct, so I changed it back. V-Man - ^T/_C 03:47, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The octopus project

You can not just change a redirect from one article to another. Where there are more than one possible link, a disambiguation page should be written. I have done that. Also look at the pages that link to it before making a decision. In this case that was only one link from the user page of the editor that originally wrote the article on the chemistry software with that title. It was moved latter. --Bduke 08:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Microphone

According to Wikipedia, a microphone is "sometimes referred to as a mike or mic." And Comedy Central's info on the episode spelled it as 'mike.' So that's how it's spelled in the episode summary. I don't know why this is such a big deal... --DrBat 21:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bells

You bet! Gotta get more info in there, though. I created the Bulls one too, and it took off after I made it. Hopefully, the same thing will happen here...--Longman391 15:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikinews Interview with John Vanderslice

You edited the John Vanderslice article. Wikinews is schedule to do an interview with Vanderslice this Wednesday, September 26. If you have any questions you'd like to ask John or know about John, please leave them on my Talk page. Thanks. --David Shankbone 15:24, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect of Ain't No 401K For A Hustler

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ain't No 401K For A Hustler, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ain't No 401K For A Hustler is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Ain't No 401K For A Hustler, 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. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 00:00, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The two articles are the same. Wouldn't it be better to delete the S/T one? Or if it's relevant, create a redirect? PeterSymonds | talk 05:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, why's it called S/T? PeterSymonds | talk 05:54, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah okay. In that case I'm going to tag it for deletion as a redundant redirect, if that's okay with you? PeterSymonds | talk 05:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please use edit summaries

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. -Phoenixrod (talk) 05:22, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Seriously, use edit summaries. It's not hard. -Phoenixrod (talk) 16:10, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
