[edit] Bluegrass albums

I reverted your second edit to The Telluride Sessions as "[" and "..." are generally the symbols used for one-album bands. Currently, Telluride Sessions is the only album listed in Category:Bluegrass albums. -Acjelen 21:35, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New Grass Revival, etc.

If they had an award for most improvement to an article in a single edit, I would nominate you. Anyway, I emptied Category:Strength In Numbers albums, though I'm not sure if more is required to completely delete it. I wonder if there's a category for supergroups with one album? -Acjelen 20:55, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Interwiki?

Ah, I missed that one. It should have been an interwiki link to the Swedish Wikipedia. // Liftarn

[edit] influencial czech bluegrass bands

if what you said in July on the Music of the Czech Republic discussion page is true, perhaps the wording that "poutnici is one of the most influencial czech bluegrass bands" should be changed to something like, "Notable is Potnici, whose early success lead to the continued embrase of Bluegrass music in the Czech Republic, as well as the fact that many of the members from that band have recorded or toured with Druha Trava, which has brought Czech bluegrass to the modern world music stage." of course that is way to flowery, entirely unencyclopedic, and also uninformed, as I am not familiar with poutnici. In any case, perhaps you would like to take a look at that page? Smmurphy 19:39, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requesting comments on template alteration

Hello. I see you are using one or more of the User instruments templates in your Babel box. Inspired by some recent developments, I want to rework all the templates in there (including ones used on user pages), to make them more like the regular Babel templates. However, I thought I should hear from the people this would affect before actually doing it. Please weigh in at User:Ddawson/User instruments.

[edit] Thanks

Thank you for your comments awhile back. I haven't done anything on Wikipedia because this information overload if fairly intimidating. I would, indeed, welcome any comments or suggestions that you may have. I am also happy to contribute to your bluegrass pages (I did my senior thesis in college exploring bluegrass music and whether it is a "folk" music). Again, thanks for the encouraging welcome. Daben

[edit] Peter Rowan

Thanks, that was a typo. I found the correct date for the San Antonio album and removed the other as a suspected duplicate. -- Dave C.talk | Esperanza 01:35, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Schools - try voting merge

If you want to work towards a compromise on schools, stop voting "delete" and start voting "merge". Deletion implies "erase all trace of this school from wikipedia" which can never be acceptable to school inclusionists, including myself. Kappa 13:42, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "University of Kentucky/Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Arboretum"?

So... how do we arrive at a consensus? I responded at Talk:University of Kentucky/Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Arboretum. --Robby 06:18, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Music recordings copyright issues

Hi, I saw your question at Wikipedia_talk:Copyrights/Can_I_use...#Music_recordings. Since you might not be watching that page, I'll repeat my answer here. See Template:music sample. I have seen, and uploaded myself, several music samples under this template. (I assume you're talking about popular music; classical music and the like is a bit of a different story). My guidelines are - make the clip 30 seconds or less, only one clip per song (and usually, only one clip per album is necessary), and check the artist's website - if they have song samples available already, you may as well use them. No need to reinvent the wheel. See User:Pfctdayelise/Music_guide#How_to_contribute_sample_music_files_for_a_band. cheers --pfctdayelise 14:18, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New user box

Hello Cmadler, It's SWD316. Im giving you the user box for your user page called Template:User Member. It's a user box that says your a member of the AWWDMBJ.... Hope you like it! SWD316 03:55, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WP:USCOTW

I am not sure why you removed Jim Brown. Counting the nominating vote it has enough votes to stay another week. Also, should we not leave on the old votes that were there from September, for King Cotton and Mount Rushmore? We need any supporter we can get on this collaboration.--Fenice 14:18, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I think it is a good idea to give the 'old voters' a voter template if the article wins - that way the votes are not lost. If you want to handle the renominations the way you do (eliminating old votes) that's fine with me. --Fenice 17:40, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

Thanks a ton for helping me vote for RI, which I am pretty sure I did correctly now. When I just changed the number, I figured I was doing something wrong. Phantombantam 20:21, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:TCF Bank/TCF Financial Corporation merge

Err, try commenting on the talk page topic, Talk:TCF Bank

[edit] Earl Scruggs

Thanks for the input Cmadler. After a bit more reading I think Snuffy should certainly get a mention. My banjo-playing brother instantly mentioned Masters of the Bluegrass Banjo and the interview with Earl. I will take a look shortly. I also found a 1984 article in British Bluegrass News (Vol 8, number 3) by John Atkins (erstwhile UK student of bluegrass) in which he writes "Earl hailed from North Carolina and his mentor was Snuffy Jenkins from Charlotte, N.C. who had popularised three finger banjo picking through his work with firstly JE Mainer, and then Byron Parker's Mountaineers. Both Scruggs and Don Reno learned first hand from Jenkins, and they both worked for a while with the Morris Brothers, another N.C. duo."

I'm new here but I've been playing, singing and writing bluegrass for around forty years, so it's fun to be helping out with some of the editing, and I've recently kicked off a couple of short articles on crosspicking and flatpicking. Thanks for sorting out the Don Reno links and I'm sure we'll be comparing blue notes soon. Regards Ophir 23:49, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Economy of West Virginia

Use the move option instead of copy and pasting articles. Youngamerican 20:04, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

It makes it easier to find the sources of the original info. Youngamerican 02:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
I put in a note at requests for moves for someone with admin status to fix it up a bit. It'll work it out eventually. Cheers. Youngamerican 13:04, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History of New Jersey FAC

Thanks for your great work on the History of New Jersey article during the USCOTW! I have placed the article up for FAC after a peer review. Please vote and include any other comments. I started to add some of those trends mentioned in the todo of the talk page, and most of them are now subtley mentioned in the article. Thanks a lot, AndyZ 21:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kappa Kappa Psi

Oh, I was looking at http://kkpsi.longhornband.org/History.htm where it says Ira. I don't care nearly enough to get into a revert war. The only reason I found it was because vandalism had just happened from the same IP address, User talk:129.2.241.11. Just a wild coincidence I guess... Kappa Kappa Psi is all yours. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:09, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

You'll probably want to revert my revert to Maryland as well. It was also from the same IP address. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:11, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Well that's a hell of a coincidence. The only three edits by an anon all come within 12 hours - one is obvious vandalism, the other two aren't. Oh well, my bad. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:22, 4 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Ill-formed message

I think your message on my talk page needs some more... what's the word? fleshing out. --maru (talk) contribs 23:04, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My oops!

Thanks for including the College of Arts and Sciences in the UK article. I don't know how I forgot that one. I was a Mechanical Engineering major in the mid 70's, and we referred to the College of A&S as the "College of Arts and Crafts" :). Thanks again, and go Big Blue!! (I see you live in Michigan, so I mean the Cats, not the Wolverines!) --rogerd 17:39, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the moves

"Please explain your deletion of the content in Math, Science, and Technology Center and the redirection to Paul Laurence Dunbar High School (Lexington, Kentucky)! At the least, this should be subject to a vote or advance warning through a Merge template! I also have to question the move from Paul Laurence Dunbar High School to Paul Laurence Dunbar High School (Lexington, Kentucky). I understand the desire for disambiguation should articles be created for other schools of the same name, but I believe preferred style is not to disambiguate until it is needed (i.e. until an article is created for another Paul Laurence Dunbar High School)? Cmadler 13:45, 5 March 2006 (UTC)"

I moved right away since I didn't think it would be controversial.

NOW, isn't MST just a program at Dunbar? If so, why did it have a separate article?

And as for the disambig, it doesn't matter if nobody has created an article for the Fort Worth Dunbar. The Lexington Dunbar should have the "Lexington, Kentucky" bit at the end.

"but I believe preferred style is not to disambiguate until it is needed (i.e. until an article is created for another Paul Laurence Dunbar High School)?"

Already is, because I'm linking to the Fort Worth Dunbar article from Fort Worth ISD.

[edit] Lexington, Kentucky Cityscape

I did significant updates, mainly rewordings and condensings of the Cityscape and summarized the most vocal projects under "New Developments." Seeings as you are heavily involved with Lexington's ongoings, you should take a peek at it :) Seicer (talk) (contribs) 05:14, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I went to MSTC @ PLD. You obviously did too - who are you? --Anthony5429 16:33, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] University of Kentucky

You want those biased statements in the article University of Kentucky, then you need to correct the statements by introducing a neutral standpoint. The previous editor who inserted the text in was banned for introducing information that is slanderous against the University without proper citations and without doing it in a manner that is fair and balanced. Good luck. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 22:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

See talk:University of Kentucky for guidelines on improving the two mentioned sections. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 22:17, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the NPOV addition, but how can the discrepancy between the report in serious crimes and the survey be that wide? There is something fishy here and IMO it needs looked into. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 19:21, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
I searched on the Kernel's site but couldn't find anything to explain the discrepancy. I'll see if one of my friends who works as an editor there knows anymore about it. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 19:37, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
