[edit] Help uploading
The first person ever to ask for my help. Anyway, click on the link on the left hand side marked upload, which will take you to the upload screen. Scroll down to the source filename and click the browse button. Find the relevant place where you have saved the image on your computer and attach it. The name that you saved it under will automatically appear in the destination filename box.
When uploading a film poster you need to go down to the licensing box and scroll down until you get to movie poster, which will tag it with the copyright status and also the http:// address where you found the poster which you put in the summary box.
Hope that clears it up for you (Quentin X 11:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Stop reverting edits without discussion
Is there a reason you reverted all my edits with no edit summaries and without contacting me on my talk page? Please revert your edits. You need to take a look at Wikipedia:Categorization and subcategories#Topic article rule and the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television. Those categories belong in the article, NOT the category. All the work I did is wasted because you have chosen to revert everything without discussing it with me. --musicpvm 07:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Country alias BOT
Welcome to Wikipedia! We could really use your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Template:Country alias BOT) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Mhking 04:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] As Time Goes By
I've noticed that you have moved As Time Goes By to As Time Goes By (TV series). There was a semi-discussion on the TalkPage about this and I think its a shame you didnt discuss it first. However, more importantly you didn't correct the links. All the As Time Goes By links that went to the TV article now go to a disambuation page, and it would have been nice if you had corrected these (using Special:Whatlinkshere/As Time Goes By) rather than just move the page and leave someone else to fix the links. --Berks105 15:37, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Useful tip
Hi, since you are working on company related info for films, I just wanted to say it would benefit more the articles if such info is entered in the main article body, instead of in infoboxes (like in Heidi's Song). Even if the article is not developed enough to have an appropriate section, such info can be just entered as a line. It's no big thing, but it helps in the long run. Cheers!

I just wanted to let you know I did a rollback on your edit to Judy Garland - not consider it vandalism or be mean, just that information is unrelated to Garland's life (who is the current owner of her films is a bit trivial to include in her biography).

[edit] Reprodding a deprodded article
Don't replace {{prod}} tags once they have been removed from an article (like you did here). Anyone can contest a proposed deletion; the system is not for controversial deletions, and once the tag's been removed, please don't replace it. You can nominate the article at articles for deletion instead if you want it deleted. Hope that helps! --ais523 16:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, that's what I was complaining about. You mustn't replace removed prod tags, as that's the method provided for in policy for contesting a prod; a {{subst:prod}} tag indicates that nobody has objected to the deletion, and its removal indicates that someone has. See WP:PROD for more details. --ais523 13:42, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Momentum Pictures
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Momentum Pictures, by TexasAndroid (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Momentum Pictures seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Momentum Pictures, 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. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Momentum Pictures itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 17:35, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kiss singles
Regarding the Kiss singles template you created - I'm curious as to whether or not such a template is currently being used for other bands, since all the other ones I've looked at incorporate the singles in the main template. Thanks. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 11:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply, I hadn't seen those. Looking at the ones for the Beatles and Aerosmith I do actually like the look of them better than the Kiss one (no offense intended). I don't suppose you'd be up for altering the Kiss one to resemble the others? --cholmes75 (chit chat) 22:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- I can help with formatting, but recommend we stick with listing them by year. With templates like these, the idea is to make them as small as possible. Besides that, albums are already listed in the main Kiss template. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 23:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Long Road Out Of Eden
Hi I moved the above page and I see you've re-moved it to "Long Road out of Eden" . I was wondering why? On Eagles Official Website its listed as "Long Road Out Of Eden" which I assume is the most authoritative source on the matter at the moment? I've left it where it is for now in case you know something I don't. Kelpin 15:06, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AWB
Hmmm, I didnt realise there were different fields etc. It's probably easier to go to WP:BOTREQ and let someone else write and run the bot, and pick a simpler task. Templates with different fields etc can be quite complex. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 06:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: How do you do it
Hi FMAFan1990, about the AWB question, what I did was to first make a list of all transclusions of the template, and then use find and replace functions of AWB to replace the template name and related fields with the new ones. Of course I needed to check every edit to make sure that they look right and manually edit some templates for which the automated process did not yield expected results. Best, --Kudret abi 06:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/EBot Task2
FMAFan1990, you may be interested in the request for an additional task that E (talk · contribs) has submitted for his bot. If approved, his bot will achieve your bot's purpose in toto, as {{Infobox Guitarist}} has already been deprecated. If you're interested in deferring to him as the more experienced bot operator, the requested task can get off the ground that much faster.
Cheers! — madman bum and angel 12:27, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Please note that your bot request was denied by Mets501 (talk · contribs). However, EBot (talk · contribs) has been approved for trial and will perform the task you requested. For the BAG, — madman bum and angel 12:52, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Replacement of deprecated templates
Could you please see the request at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/EBot Task2 in which you suggested at WP:BOTREQ. More information is needed for the change as bot errors occured with the template syntax. Please comment or the request will not be fulfilled. — E talkbots 11:08, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Breaking Template:Infobox Band
Yes, I'm well aware of your attempts. Updating all transclusions of {{Infobox Band}} to {{Infobox musical artist}} is indeed a very good idea. However, that change breaks the existing articles using the band infobox. It should be entirely possible to have a bot update the articles without breaking the band infobox. If you cannot figure out how to do this, perhaps you should leave this task to someone who can. I've reverted again. --PEJL 04:18, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Let's see if I can get some bot to make the {{Infobox Band}} look like this:
{{Infobox Band | band_name = | image = | caption = | origin = | country = | years_active = | actual_status = | music_genre = | record_label = | us_distribution = | current_members = | past_members = | website = }}
- FMAFan1990 04:23, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'll just have the image size done away with entirely for now as well. FMAFan1990 04:24, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
-
-
- Well, I wouldn't put too much effort into it, because any bot that can convert inconsistent formatting into that formatting, can just as easily convert it directly into {{Infobox musical artist}}. However, a bot that would clean up existing formatting of musical artist infoboxes would be nice. Something similar is discussed for the album infobox here.
-
-
-
- Another issue is that in most cases the image size that is in band infoboxes can just be dropped entirely when converted to the musical artist infobox. Band infoboxes need an image size to avoid using a full-size image (which is often way too big), but the musical artist infobox defaults to a suitable size, which is often better than the more or less random size in the band infobox. There are a few other such finer points that need to be kept in mind when converting these infoboxes. --PEJL 04:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Double albums
Hi, I noticed that you re-added Blood Sugar Sex Magik to the List of double albums, which I had previously removed. There was a discussion with a few editors on the talk page about guidelines for inclusion in the list, and one of the ones that was proposed was that if it takes up more than one unit of the intended format, then it's a double. Regarding BSSM, it was released in 1991, after compact discs had become the standard packaging method, so we can assume that the album was intended to be on CD. Once CDs became the most common product, an LP release of the same album generally had to be either trimmed down to fit on a single record, or issued as a double LP, so by that token, the list would need to contain a HUGE number of albums from the past couple decades, which fit just fine on a single CD. For a few examples, Tori Amos' Boys for Pele, The Cure's Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, and Soundgarden's Superunknown and Down on the Upside were all released on LP, and even though there are two pieces of vinyl in each of those, they really aren't double albums. — Wwagner 14:31, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] infobox band and user pages
You asked about replacing infobox band on user pages and talk pages. Here's my advice (and what I've done myself in a few cases). On a user page, check if the user seems to be active. If so, leave a note on the user's talk page explaining and offering to help. Otherwise, if it's the user's main page, and they're using the infobox to refer to themselves, I think upgrading to the new template is ok. If it's on a user sub page, and it's some sort of work in progress, consider proposing the page for deletion ({{prod}}) instead, because an inactive user is unlikely to ever complete the work. If you don't think a prod is appropriate or justified, then upgrading should be fine.
For transclusions on talk pages, I think subst: is probably the best choice in most cases. Generally, you don't want to mess with the historical record of old discussions. However, there may be cases where upgrading makes more sense. You'll just have to use your best judgement.
As for non-transclusions, I would leave talk pages alone, but for user pages, it can often be handy/helpful to replace the link in someone's "list of useful templates" with a link to the template they should be using. I've done this in a few cases, and nobody has complained. Yet. :) cheers, Xtifr tälk 09:19, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The mighty Van Halen!
Hey. I've noticed you edit a number of band pages I do, very frequently and our tastes seem very alike. Just thought I'd stop by, and ask if you are a Van Halen fan at all? Their page was in dire straits 4 months ago and a lot of hard work is beggining to pay off...but I'm the only guy doing much. Not just the main page, but the whole WikiProject I guess (Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen and some singles would all benefit from extra work)...it's almost there.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:SSBB box art.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:SSBB box art.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Eye for an eye film poster.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Eye for an eye film poster.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:52, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
