[edit] Nice work!

I like all your good work on the music articles, especially the Duran Duran-related articles I like to keep an eye on. Great additions all around; feel free to drop a note on my talk page or on an article talk page if you have questions or comments on any of my changes or additions to your work. Keep it up!

Good work on the DD song articles; I'm enjoying watching your progress and adding what tidbits I can. Cheers! — Catherine\talk 10:03, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
Good to see you editing in the DD neigborhood again...thanks for the work! — Catherine\talk 23:38, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Edit summary

Dear contributor, first I would like to say a big thank you for your time, care, and enthusiasm in editing Wikipedia articles. I hope you find it just as much fun as I do.

I am writing with a small suggestion. I wonder if you could write an edit summary every time you make changes to an article (or when you start a new one). Even a short summary helps. To see how often you have done so in the past, you may go to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=YOUR USERNAME.

Edit summaries are important for a number of reasons. Every time you change an article, a record of that change propagates to every single person who has that article on their watchlist. Most people have an article on their watchlist because they care a lot about it, so they would like to be informed about what is going on with it. Accurate summaries help people decide whether it is worthwhile for them to check a change. This is why your edit summary, which will take you maybe 15 seconds, is a time-saver and a great act of candor to the other people interested in the same article as you. Accurate edit summaries are important because they create trust regarding your contributions and help resolve disputes.

There are other, very convincing reasons for putting an edit summary. More information is available at Wikipedia:Edit summary. If at any point you have any questions about this rule (or anything else for that matter), please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you and happy editing! Hyacinth 20:22, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

I'd like to second the previous poster - change comments are helpful.

Thanks much for filling in the missing info on the Spoons discs. I'll be putting in a couple more, probably in the same state of incompleteness. Your help would again be appreciated! I don't suppose you listen to Jesse Cook? Canadian, but totally different music.

I'll see you around the music pages.  :-)

[edit] Stone Roses single discography

Hey good job with the track listings for each of the singles releases... just make sure you that the Track Listing is the first thing after the intro blurb... I don't believe you should leave it as the last thing at the bottom of the page.. Cheers.. --Madchester 12:01, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)

[edit] re: 4AD artists category

I am interested in your rationale for beginning a musicians category labeled "4AD Records artists." I think we probably should instead strengthen the history on this label located in the article 4AD.

– Emerman 06:16, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your explanation at my page. I have just now moved my lengthy comments in reply over to my own page so as not to clutter yours so much, after considering how much space I was taking up here. Emerman 16:18, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category deletion nomination

Hi, Feduciary. Just letting you know that I have nominated Category:Singles by record label and its child Category:Mute Records singles for deletion. Their CfD is here: Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion#Singles_by_record_label I thought as the creator of one you might like to know. cheers. pfctdayelise 04:05, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sources for Serious

Hello, good work on Serious, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. Can you list in the article any websites, books, or other sources that will allow people to verify the content in Serious? You can simply add links, preferably as the inline citations, or see citation templates for different citation methods. Thanks! best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 03:43, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 04:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Def Leppard Rocket.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Def Leppard Rocket.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duran Duran articles

Hey there, Feduciary! I've been doing a bit of work on the {{Duran Duran}} singles, standardizing the layout of the articles and blueing the red links. For the moment, I've left behind a lot of empty headings, and I could use some help filling in the information. I'll be working on them too as I can, but could you browse through the articles when you get a chance, check my work, and add anything that seems to be missing? Many of the articles still use the album infobox, which needs to be converted to {{Infobox Single}}, and most of the infoboxes are half-empty too.

No rush on this, but I'd be glad to have a little expert help. Thanks very much! — Catherine\talk 17:48, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Wow, you weren't kidding! Keep up the great work! — Catherine\talk 20:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Singles

Hi there. I'd like to ask you not to create categories that follow the convention "(Artist name) singles." We just went through a long process to replace all those with "(Artist name) songs," which everyone got behind. So categories like category:Foo Fighters singles just make people cranky. Cool?--Mike Selinker 23:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Understood. But the singles nomenclature was rarely followed, and so with a few well-categorized exceptions, some singles were in songs, some non-singles were in singles, and so on. It was a mess. Now it's clean. And for any artist you want, you can easily do a discography that puts singles in release order, rather than alphabetical.--Mike Selinker 15:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation

Hi! Thought you might be interested in joining a proposed New Wave music WikiProject -- if so, please come add your name to the list.

Also, thanks for adding "Nice" to the DD menagerie; I wasn't sure whether it should be counted in the list or not. Keep up the good work! — Catherine\talk 17:02, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
