Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page–my talk page–as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.
Thank you!

[edit] Laqtel
Why not try a less confrontational approach on the Laqtel article? If you think the tone is too promotional, why not try re-writing it, instead of simply deleting it? Guettarda (talk) 05:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] English Policy
Hey, quick question. Is there a policy document/guideline regarding the use of British/American english around? Thanks. Rasadam (talk) 17:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Manual of Style (spelling) covers this - in general, you should use whichever spelling is more appropriate to the topic. For example, the President of the United States article uses American English, but King of England uses British English. If there isn't a specific type of English that would apply (such as Tiger), use whatever the article started with to avoid edit wars. Hersfold (t/a/c) 18:01, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Defense(The Anthem)
I'm sorry about that I just thought it was your arbitrary american influenced edits, so that's why I reverted it back to defence and changed defense on his page to the universal spelling defence. I wasn't aware he spelled it the american way as he is not from america. TeePee-20.7 (talk) 03:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tagging for speedy deletion
Hi. Welcome to the New Pages Patrol - not a formal organization, jus people who spend time watching the new pages and weeding out the hopeless ones. A word of advice about tagging for speedy - the criteria are actually quite restricted, and it's worth reading WP:CSD carefully, else you may find the admins decline your speedies. Also, it's best to use the standard tags like {{db-person}} and {{db-spam}} rather than making up reasons: if you can't find a standard tag that fits, it probably means the page doesn't qualify for a speedy, and may need a PROD or just tagging for improvement. But keep patrolling - the flood of unsuitable pages never stops! Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Unfree images in Bunji Garlin and Rikki Jai
Hi, it seemed obvious to me that those images were inserted for the purpose of showing how those persons look like, not to illustrate content about those musical works - already from the location of the image (in the infobox/at the top). Template:Non-free album cover clearly states that such unfree images must only be used for the second purpose, not for others. Even if the images had been in another place in the article: Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Acceptable_use states:
- "Cover art from various items, for identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item (not for identification without critical commentary)."
and both articles did not even mention the album in question (except for an entry in the discography list) - no "critical commentary" whatsoever.
Right now non-free pictures of the artist are unavailable - how can you be sure, where did you search? (A while ago, I found and uploaded a decent free photo of Maximus Dan [1] using this tool.) But that is not the point anyway - Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria#1 demands that no free equivalent is available, or could be created, and both Bunji Garlin and Rikki Jai are alive and well, so it is entirely possible that free photos of them could be created. The point of this demand is that using an unfree image "until a free one becomes available" would destroy the incentive to provide such a free image, and therefore damage Wikipedia's free content goals.
But thanks anyway for creating the Bunji Garlin article, you filled an important gap! Any chances for Fay-Ann Lyons too? (I liked this video.)
