[edit] Your "move" of Church of the Holy Family to Church of the Holy Family (Singapore)

Please do not "move" pages by copy and pasting them to a new article name. That will damage the history of the article, which is required to be preserved under Wikipedia's GFDL license. Instead, use the "move" option which will do everything nicely and properly for you. Read Wikipedia:How to move a page for more information.

I have listed the page as "wrongly done page move, to be repaired" for an administrator's attention. Kimchi.sg 16:17, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Awfully sorry. I plead ignorance of the rule and I promise to take the correct path next time.--Ariedartin 16:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries - use them :)

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

Edit summary text box

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. Kimchi.sg 06:22, 2 June 2006 (UTC)


Whoops again. I'll keep that in mind too. Thank you very much. (= Ariedartin 06:25, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cathedral stub thumb

Hey there. I agree re making a cathedral stub. Good call. I think the Saint Francis Cathedral in Santa Fe

photo is pretty well done,and it covers Old and New World. Plus, its page is a stub. -Murcielago 13:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guitarist deletions

It is almost impossible to imagine a lead guitarist better known than Hendrix, or a band more notable than the Who, and there is absolutely nothing US-specific about this. If anything, both were even more popular on the other side of the Atlantic, and certainly far better known internationally than many of the names you left in (Alexander Kapranos?). I find your judgement in editing that list very questionable. Also, given that I'm not American, your accusation of a US bias on my part would be funny were it less offensive. PurplePlatypus 04:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

You forget the other side of the Pacific. The only time I ever saw Jim Hendrix's name was in a Time magazine, and that was only in passing mention in an article regarding a deceased left-handed guitarist. I sincerely apologise if I have offended you in any way. I only intend a view that is as internationally-minded as possible. There is no problem with Wikipedia articles on bands or band members with localised reputations, but that is not what Lead guitarist is about. Ariedartin JECJY 05:17, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yisrayl Hawkins

What is a "NOR rule"? And who was "flouting" anything? I was just trying to keep the article up to date.

BouncingBeatnik 21:27, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

NOR is "No Original Research". A statement such as "perhaps it is broken" is already indicative of No Original Research. If you need to place a hypothesis such as that, you will need a citation to back it up. Ariedartin JECJY Talk 15:04, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Christian views on contraception

I believe the Wikipedia policy is targeted toward material that is doubtful or harmful. To me, the material deleted from the article Christian views on contraception was credible, and I do not currently see how it could be construed as harmful. I had interpreted the fact tag as a request for sources rather than a step on the path to deletion. I assume the editor who had been doing extensive work on the article had used that interpretation also: (s)he tagged the material but had not made any efforts to remove it, and the talk page currently has a request for more citations without implying that uncited material should be deleted.

We're all here to make Wikipedia better, and as frustrating as different editing styles may be, I think that ultimately they are the reason Wikipedia is so successful. For example, your deletion of the material in question prompted me to spend time looking for sources, and now the article is better cited. End result: a plus for Wikipedia.

As an aside, I did not add the material in question. I would like to think that I source most material that I add to Wikipedia, especially things as easily sourced as those two statements. Lyrl Talk Contribs 17:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Palestine TfD

I hate to keep bothering you like this, but I think there may be a bit of confusion here. This isn't an attempt to delete the template - TfD is merely the technical process used to rename a template, much like CfD is the means of renaming a category. Right now you are actually opposing a renaming, even though you stated you are in favour of such a move (might I be so presumptuous to suggest you change your vote?). Cheers, TewfikTalk 18:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry that you withdrew, but I appreciate your candor about being confused. If you ever want to discuss the issues, I would be more than happy to oblige you. All the best, TewfikTalk 20:43, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject invitation

Hey there, I have noticed your work on some guitar-related articles, and I wanted to let you know about WikiProject Guitarists.

[edit] Meetup on 24 November

Hello, please confirm yourself for the meetup on the 24th by November 18. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please list them at the meetup page yourself. Thanks. --Terence Ong (C | R) 04:27, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Tele.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tele.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Abu Badali 17:18, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Tip of the hat

InfernoXV saying hi :) There's an event happening in December that as a RC in Sg and a choirboy you might be interested in. Msg me for details. By the way, all the best for the Os. InfernoXV 06:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop major changes in articles formatting

You seem to change style of formatting of every article you edit, removing spaces used to format headers and distinguish paragraphs and parts of article, i.e. you make

==Header==

from

== Header ==

That leads to unnecessary crumbling of article's history with lots of diffs - official Wikipedia policy says that boths styles are acceptable and it heavily recommends to stick to whatever style an article uses for minimal diffs. Moreover, all automatic editing tools I know of maintain style with spaces.

Please revert articles you've changed to their original spacing style. --GreyCat 09:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Diocesan Infobox

To the Members of the WikiProject Catholicism

I have proposed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism an infobox for Catholic Dioceses. I have not gotten any feedback on this proposal, so I’m culling feedback, advice, corrections, etc. for this. If you have the time, would you check out User:SkierRMH/Diocese_Infobox and give me some feedback! Thanks much!!
