I am still quite new at this but hope to get better. Still not sure about a lot of things so I guess I will play it all by ear and do lots of reading to catch up. Thalia

[edit] Evanescence article stuff to do

Hey Childzy,

You and I have recently been collaborating on the Evanescence talk page. I'd just like to praise you for being bold and getting several Evanescence-related chores done. If you need any assistance, for example with creating Evanescence discography or changing references to their genre of music to alternative rock, just let me know and I'd be more than glad to help out. —Lantoka ^{( talk | contrib)} 07:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Awesome. I'll look over everything sometime this weekend and see if I can be of further assistance. Regrettably I haven't been on much lately due to university finals, moving home, then starting my new job, but the weekend is finally here and I'll have substantial time to catch up on Wikipedia. Keep me informed. =) —Lantoka ^{( talk | contrib)} 20:13, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Cool, but, why have you deleted the info I added? It's real and i can prove it, i have pics of the cover, back, inter and the CD —eacz12

[edit] Marc Pugh thanks

Thanks for the help with the references on the Marc Pugh article, I'm trying to make a really good, in depth article and it needed referencing like other good articles. I'll see what you did and play about with it in the sandbox, so again thanks for the help.--Childzy 15:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem. You basically put the website/book/newspaper you're referencing in tags like this <ref>www.example.com</ref> and then <references/> at the end where you want the references to be printed. See m:cite.php for more detail.--Cherry blossom tree 22:29, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chelsea F.C.

First of all, the article was not stable so I removed it from the GA list, it will have to be renominated. Second of all, please review the oldest nominations on the GA nomination page since it is fairer for those who have been waiting for an assessment or a review of their article the longest. Lincher 14:08, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poutsa

The user who'd made it had just vandalised an article and borderline-vandalised a few others, so I was mopping up. If you think it's worth an article, go ahead. However, is there anything that wouldn't be handled better at wiktionary? Morwen - Talk 14:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re user_talk:207.165.35.157

childzy, you actually gave user_talk:207.165.35.157 a {{test5}} warning, which tells the person that they have been blocked. please don't use this in the future if you are not an administrator. i replaced it with a {{bv}} warning since the person had actually been vandalizing. thanks, --Alhutch 17:34, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recycling

Regarding this edit. You (accidentally I'm sure) deleted a large part of the article when trying to edit the image. I've reverted for now, so if want to doing the image edit again feel free, but be careful not to remove any valid content (use show preview and/or show changes button before saving to check). Cheers, Petros471 18:17, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Arghhh crap I'm sorry it keeps doing that to me on the Evanescence article, I think its to do with FireFox. I always show previews but generally to see if what i did worked, not to see if I deleted the article, again my apologies.--Childzy ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 18:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

That's ok. I heard something about a bug with Firefox and the Google (think it was google) toolbar being installed caused a bug that has that effect. I sometimes edit using Firefox (usually Opera), but don't have any extra toolbars so never come across that problem personally. Petros471 18:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your vote on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Bruno Senna

Hi Childzy,
Sorry to bother you, but I've updated the captions on the edits to make it perfectly clear which version you support. Please update your vote and state which version you support. Please use the naming located under the main caption in bold, large text. Thanks, --Fir0002 09:05, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] All Music Guide links

Please note that there is no reason to italicize All Music Guide in the professional reviews section of the album infobox. Only the names of magazines should be italicized (see the archived discussion at WikiProject Albums and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (titles)). Jogers (talk) 23:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit of Towneley Hall pic

Hi Childzy,
Thanks for asking, how's this: Image:Towneley Hall edit.jpg? I didn't want to go too far with the brightening as it brings out the noise too much. --Fir0002 07:46, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stars

I've reverted a few of your edits. I put what I have to say about the matter here. Regards, Jogers (talk) 15:00, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] HELP

Please see these two articles and their talk pages. Ultra Rare Trax Vol.1 and Ultra Rare Trax Vol.2. This is a big edit war and its going nowhere, the articles need deleting, they are not encylopedic and are causing problems. --Childzy_talk^contribs 20:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I've deleted the articles. --Pilotguy ^{(roger that)} 20:49, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Football AID 9 July - 16 July

Thank you for participating in the Football AID vote this week.

FA Premier League has been selected as this week's collaboration. Please do help in working to improve it.

[edit] The Fake Sound of Progress

Hi, you're probably sick of me by now but I gotta ask this. You made articles for all the lostprophets singles today (I just made the last two), but the links you made designated the fake sound of progress page to The Fake Sound of Progress (song). I conformed with this for now, but is the (song) bit necessary? The Fake Sound of Progress is just a redirect to thefakesoundofprogress, so cant The Fake Sound of Progress be used for the single? The topline dabs i put on the pages can stay, allowing access to the page they're not on. Is there a problem with doing this? U-Mos 16:17, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed *merges pages* BTW thanks for finishing them, i started getting tired.--Childzy_talk^contribs 18:12, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

No probs, they were easy pages to be my first! I'm going through the links to the (song) version now. Btw, I made a couple of changes to that lovely lostprophets template you did - you managed to get lee's name wrong! I also removed ilan rubin and several links that redirect to lostprophets or go nowhere. I won't take offence if you revert it, but i think that's how it should be. U-Mos 18:50, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I reverted some things, such as the Red links bacuse they are there so people can create article, i have also been working on the band members artciles. and BTW who is ilan rubin, is he the drummer??? --Childzy_talk^contribs 18:53, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

AH I keep removing red links so oops! Personally I don't think band memeber articles are a good idea as none of them have done anything outside lostprophets. Ilan Rubin drums for the band, but he is not OF the band. He's not in their promo pics, or listed as a band member in Liberation Transmission etc. Therefore it is believed (by me) that he shouldn't be in their infobox or template or suchlike. U-Mos 18:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Something else! IF band pages are deemed necessary, Richard Oliver should be Jamie Oliver, as for some reason that's what he calls himself. This will probably cause many chef-related problems, but that's how it should be I think. U-Mos 19:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmm it would cause big problems but if you are sure thats his name i will move it. --Childzy_talk^contribs 11:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I am sure about jamie oliver and ilan rubin U-Mos 17:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Yep agree, good work. BTW Just wondering but who is lostprohpets current drummer??? Childzy ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 18:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I try! They don't really have a drummer: Mike Chiplin left over a year ago, josh freese drummed on the new album and ilan rubin is currently touring with them, but he is not a member of the band. U-Mos 19:21, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Very strange Childzy ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 18:13, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stu richardson.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Stu richardson.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images lacking such an explanation 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.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to point out that Ilan Rubin did do two tracks on Liberation Transmission and he is thanked, along with Josh Freese.

[edit] Fair use images in userspaces

I've removed the fair use images of a football team's logo from your userspace. Sorry, but such images can't be used outside articles, for the reasons in WP:FU. You might want to resubmit your nomination to WP:ESP/U. Actually, as I've nominated my own userspace there, I hope you won't take this as sabotage ;-). But someone else would have had to if I didn't. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 19:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

*cries* my beloved burnley badge *cries more*. you did what you have to do

what about if i took a photo of the badge i have on my shirt?? Then it would be a self-made image thus allowing me to use it hmmm? Or what about the fact the bagde is more than 100 years old, wouldnt that make it be in the public domain?? Please get back to me --Childzy ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 19:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry - to quote Wikipedia:Image use policy, "copyright is generated only by instances of "creativity", and not by the amount of labor which went into the creation of the work". If you take a photo of a logo, the creativity, and therefore the copyright, still lies with the logo's creator. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 19:58, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Should have read the whole post... I'm not sure about the 100 years thing. The image's page currently claimed fair use rather than public domain, so I removed it based on that. Maybe ask on Wikipedia:Request for copyright assistance whether the image is actually in the public domain? --Sam Blanning^(talk) 20:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Sinclair

I have restored the NorthAm stub. As explained on the talk page, this is necessary because we have the unusual case of an England-born player who played in the World Cup for a North American team.--Runcorn 19:35, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re

Hey buddy, I've been pretty busy lately so I haven't been around much. If you need help with Ev articles just leave me a message with what you need done and I'll do it in my free time.

[edit] System of a Down / discography

I've responded to your comments and edits to the System of a Down page. The gist is that there is a consensus for merging the discography page to the main article page. Please see the talk page for the main article and the discography article for details. -- H·G (^words/_works) 19:38, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear your wikistress is so high. :(

Vandals are a thorn in everyone's side. I'll keep an eye or three on the articles for you: I only really drift in and out of Wikipedia at the moment anyway. Have a great holiday! EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 20:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I've added them here: feel free to add any more you're having trouble with! EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 20:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the extra info, it'll save me trawling through the page history. I know the feeling of frustration when an article gets targeted like that, so I'll be sure to keep eyes, nose and possibly ears on it. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 21:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Esperanza/Coffee lounge

Thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Coffee lounge, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the Sandbox to get started. I hope you can help us out!  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  15:03, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Since when did the coffee lounge become a serious place, its a place to chill out and have fun. Also another admin changed the joke (great touch), so this is a matter of opinion. Overall the coffee lounge is for joking and relaxing and i am complainging about the warning you gave me, i do not feel it was justified. Childzy ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 15:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I will accept that there is a difference of opinion - you thought that the practical joke was funny, I did not. The coffee lounge is for fun and games - chess, hangman, etc. The practical joke does have its place and I have seen it multiple times on User pages. I was even fooled by it once or twice and laughed along too! The fun aspect of the practical joke is subjective, as indicated by this correspondance. What might be funny on a User page isn't so funny on a Project page. The {{joke}} template was the mildest thing that I could find. I didn't intend any offence by it, as you didn't intend any with the message bar. My mood is very light for the hottest day of the year! Everyone has an opinion as to what is and isn't funny, so there's no point in arguing about it. Regards,  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  16:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out! It would be great if you could take over the whole thing since my schedule as predictable as stock market :) So, let me know. I scheduled the mottos for the whole month of July. Renata 21:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Gosh, I am so behind at getting bact to all the people... :( Anyway, be my guest to take it over. Few things though: something needs to be done with a load of Latin mottos that are now on the talk page of MOTTO. Also, there might be a need to "recycle" some mottos as only few are comming in. Also, advertising. There was and idea initially to put it on the community portal, but I never got about to do it... If you need some help or something, be sure to ask. I will try to monitor things, but these days simply cannot promise anything :( Renata 20:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

How about we create a page called Under Review and put mottos under review there.Geo. 20:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Yep, me again... Anyway, you recently took out the unofficial lostprophets links, and quite right too I say ('cept for dragonninja), but they're starting to be added again.
