[edit] Re: Francis Healy
First of all, welcome to Wikipedia. Secondly, I believe the only material I removed from the article was:
Healy has been the creative centre of Travis and has written all of the songs on their four studio albums. From the chirpy, bouncy feel of 1997's Good Feeling to the dark and more sober mood of 2003's 12 Memories. His humility and devotion has been another factor in the band's success. Although detractors like to criticise his band for being 'inoffensive', this would be perceived as half the point of the band with Fran being at the forefront of it all.
I find this material blatantly POV (not neutral) and to use excessive weasel words. If you could rewrite it neutrally and cite some sources for the material in it, that would be great. Johnleemk | Talk 06:56, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, this "chirpy, bouncy feel" ist definitely POV, yes. And we do not know whether poor old Fran feels any kind of "humility and devotion" while he is writing all the songs. But can't we just keep the first sentence?? This is a pure fact or is it not???

[edit] Erection
Hi. I reverted your "Some scientists doubt this very much..." sentence on Erection. I don't object philosophically, but if we're going to claim scientists doubt it, how about we include a source? If you can add a source with that, I'll have no objection. Thanks. Nandesuka 13:44, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Oh, I DO have a source. Unfortunately it's only in GERMAN. Can I add a source written in German in the English WIKIPEDIA?? Or doesn't make that much sense?? --Fromgermany 17:10, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Endlich hast du mich gefunden!
Sure, anything in particular you wanted to know? --Angr (t·c) 11:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
At least a thousand things!!! :-))) Are you familiar with the German WIKIPEDIA as well? I have found out that there are some great differences between the English WP and the German one. Ich habe von dem ganzen "Computer-Zeugs" nicht so viel Ahnung. This is my main problem. But I'm willing to learn. --Fromgermany 11:25, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I work on de: as well too sometimes (see de:Benutzer:Angr). --Angr (t·c) 11:35, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, there's {{attention}} and {{attention see talk}}, but it's better to be more specific about what the problem is if you can. There's a whole bunch of cleanup tags you can use listed at WP:CR. --Angr (t·c) 11:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

- So it's the word "attention" I've been looking for. Great! Yes, the clean up tags are confusing for someone still not used to talk "Wikipedian". But So far you have been of a great help. Thank you very much. --Fromgermany 12:05, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Chris de Burgh
Reputation sections are common in articles about musicians/entertainers. The paragraph you removed contained reputation detail, it is therfore valid, IMO. The paragraph may be too long and top heavy with detail, but due to the distaste that the man is viewed with by a significant number of entertainers in both Ireland & Britian and who parody him regulary, to include an example of this is encyclopedic, IMO. If you feel the paragraph is excessive, by all means edit it down. The article at this stage of its development is little more than a stub, so I would think any detail, as long as its factual, which this is, is worthy of inclusion.--KaptKos 08:58, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] oliver kahn
Hi. I don't know what EXACTLY would make the page look better, but I guess more facts would be useful, like more information regarding his career, his early years etc. I looked on the German WP, obviously didn't understand anything :) but if there's any useful material there it could be incorporated in the english article. Why IS Kahn such a tabloid delight, more so than other sportspersons? Is it because of his personal life? I was under the impression he isn't too keen on media exposure. Thanks Kinda crazy 18:10, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Really?! That bad?! Man! Sad...he's been a great keeper. Is Bayern Munich as unpopular in Germany as well? I found a better souce of info than the German WP, Kahn's official website - www.oliver-kahn.de. Unfortunately for people like me who know precisely six words in German its pretty difficult :) So should I copy paste whatever I think will be useful and post it on your user page? I'm not able to open the page right now, so I'll do it later. Thanks! Kinda crazy 06:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Randy Harrison
Wow, considering all I did was add a category to the page, I don't know why you had to attack me when it clearly says in the history that I made the one minor categorical edit. Get your facts straight.

[edit] Three revert rule
Please be aware that you have made the same edit to Morrissey three times. Wikipedia has the Three revert rule which is there to stop a 'war' between editors repeatedly changing back to their version: this rule says that no editor can revert a page more than three times in any 24-hour period. Please continue discussing your edit rather than repeatedly making it. David | Talk 20:25, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kicking out users
Hi Topbanana! At the moment there's problem about Bob Geldof. I made a few edits today concerning his year of birth, added sources to prove it was in fact 1954 etc. It seems the little edit war is not over yet. As there's this funny habit on the English WP that users are "kicked out" after three vandal edits, I would like to state that MY edits I have done so far today are NO vadalism at all. You're an andministrator/sysop so I thought I'd drop you a line to inform you that I am NOT a vandal. --Fromgermany 10:58, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, Fromgermany. I'm glad you've found a debate that interests you. Wikipedia admins are not babysitters; if someone disagrees with your opinion on a matter, that's for you to deal with. Personally, I've no idea when Sir Bob was born, sorry. - TB 23:23, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
