[edit] Regina Spektor article

Whatever your claims, we are here to make the Regina Spektor as good and useful as we can possibly do, so that it may be (as many Wikipedia articles are) the best article available on the Internet about the subject. The lyrics website is the best and comprehensive that could be located and since her music is, by her own account, driven by its text, it is of signal importance that these texts be available in print form to the reader. If the site is commercial in nature, so be it; the value to the reader in adding to his/her knowledge about this artist and her work outweighs any qualms one may have about the site on which the lyrics appear. It would be most unusual if the artist (or any musical artist, for that matter) would object to the lyrics being linked (not reprinted) in her Wikipedia article. Your comment that one can find lyrics by doing a Google search is disingenuous because all of the links added to her Wikipedia page were painstakingly dug up and added in order to add to the article's usefulness. Of course they could all be deleted and Wikipedia readers could simply find all their own articles about her, but that would largely defeat the purpose of what the External links section is for. We all have our own expertises here, and contribute accordingly. I hope you will do so as well. Badagnani 22:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thanks so much for the barnstar. You're right, I haven't gotten that one before, and I really appreciate it. And I've actually only been here for about four months -- don't give me too much credit! Thanks for helping out on patrol, by the way. Again, thanks, and let me know whenever you need another hand in any vandalism revert wars. Thanks again, and take care -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 21:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concering From First To Last entry

Sorry, I don't have MSN, only AIM, but whatever. I was wondering why you decided to add back in Nu-Metal? Also, the old band is called First Too Last not First To Last. Ender1490 02:08, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad that you have joined forces with Teke and his dark side to try and convince me to edit more. But as for Abbie, she's definitely on my side. :D —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pentwirler (talk • contribs) 05:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Becoming a Contactor

Hi HawkerTyphoon, I got your message about being a contactor for WP:AbRep. It's great. We are always looking for new contactors, but being an investigator is just as important. To add yourself, just edit the section on the page, and add your name: Simple :). As to the work it entails, well you can go about it several ways, one is to email, which means just letting the ISP et al know what's going on.. the other is by phone, (depending on where you live), and talk to the administrator or whoever that way. There is info at WP:GAR, take a look. Let me know if you need anything else :) --Deon555^talk_Review 22:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I would like to point out

First thanks for the comment, but i would like to point out that the article was about Britian. The Battle of Britian was fought on british soil. And to the extent of my knowledge I would like to point out that no americans was in this battle. Unless you prove me wrong, I still think my ajustment was acceptable, with you saying that I use american spelling for american articles and vise versa. Is the Battle of Britain an american article?Terminator50 07:07, 3 September 2006 (UTC)Terminator50

Why don't you tell me what you don't like instead of vandalizing my edits for no reason. 65.185.190.240 21:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

And you think 99.9% is not rigged? What would you call it? 65.185.190.240 22:18, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Using your logic, I should be allowed to remove the entire paragraph about the (rigged) vote because it does not comply with WP:RS, right? 65.185.190.240 22:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

According to WP:CITE any material that is challenged and has no source may be removed by any editor. Theoretically then, I can remove all but ten sentences from the article. Would that be better?

[edit] What are you talking about

What are you talking about? MelForbes 21:59, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, see your point. In any case, I was never a heavy editor of the page, I always supported Robdubar, Jtdirl and Dave Souza as being the more sane editors. That was a rv on Thar. MelForbes 22:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hero Clothing

Ah, yes, I guess maybe it could qualify under WP:CSD:A8, I hadn't realized it was copied from his site even though I'd read it; must be getting old :-) At this point I'd rather let the AfD complete. An AfD with a delete consensus has the advantage of allowing us to delete it on sight under WP:CSD:G4 if it is recreated. Gwernol 03:32, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Trust me, you have my full sympathies. I am a block-on-sight kinda guy for spammers and have no sympathy for those using Wikipedia to advertise. None. AfD lasts 5 days, unless a kind admin snowballs it. I would, but its not appropriate given I've expressed my opinion in the AfD discussion. Good luck, Gwernol 03:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Hawker--yes, indeed, I agree with you on this one. I wish the founder the best of luck getting his company off the ground but Wikipedia isn't the way to do it. (I'm uncomfortable speedying it; it's not obviously CSD to me.) Antandrus (talk) 03:51, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging Of Fall Out Boy Band Members

Hello. You've recently tried to have the members of Fall Out Boy merged into the main article. If I can recall correctly, this has been attempted in the past, and was not gone through with. Each of the members, esp. Pete Wentz, have extensive articles, and/or are notable on their own. I also ask why you removed the links from Pete Wentz that linked to his other ventures outside of Fall Out Boy, it is seeming that you are trying to make him appear NN. I'm not sure why you'd do that, or why you'd edit Wikipedia to influence your opinion, but I reverted the edit nonetheless. I'm sorry if I took this the wrong way, I'm just letting you know the bad decision. You can reply on my talk page if you'd like to discuss this matter further. Thanks. --DieHard2k5 01:38, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Khatri

I first noticed that one a few days ago, I think. The nature of those edits will inevitably attract RC patrol attention, which is how I stumbled across it. :) I'll watchlist the page, and will keep an eye on it -- whatever's going on, I don't like the apparent sockpuppetry. Let me know if there's any other needs you have in that regard, and I'll respond as I'm able. Thanks for your help, by the way. Luna Santin 09:38, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LyricWiki.org

Although the lyrics are copyrighted, we deal with publishers to pay royalties. Even if a publisher for certain lyrics has not contacted us or responded to our attempts to contact (there are apparently hundreds if not thousands), they can at any time stake claims to their artists and we will track their work (and therefore the royalties). The publishers I've talked to so far don't seem to mind the delay before they find us since only us and two other sites even pay royalties at all (and we actively email publishers asking for lists of the songs they have rights to publish). So yes, 'tis legal

[edit] Khatami

personal analysis? what are you talking about? read the paragraph that you removed again. i believe the note must be included somewhere in the article to prevent confusion for many readers. if you think that's not the correct place in the article for the note you can move it to another section.

that's probably because my native language is not english. would you please help to improve the tone and wording to remove any doubts of pushing a POV? i put the note there only because i know many people (people that are not familiar with the politics/culture of middle east) will be totally confused when they read khatami's quotes on the hizbullah and i think the note contains important pieces of information that makes the reader realize why khatami (a person with a reputation of moderation) has praised hizbullah (known as a defacto terrorist group in many western countries). that's all.

[edit] quntar

no problem to add pro stuff. There's a section for it.. Amoruso 11:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

My friend . :

• Him being convicted by Israel can be added if you wish, but I think it's redundant as it's obvious who convicted him from the article. Authorities is what - police ? It's Israel's court of law (not military).

• As for suffocated to death, well, suffocated doesn't mean to death is it, so if it's not correct - suffocated and she died... something like that.

• burst into means they went in by force... they didn't just enter as the building was closed you know. They broke the door. This was used by kuntar himself, I saw in his site link in the external links. ((((I see you already changed it though now....which is a shame. I think "enter" implies walked in...}}}}

• as for the daughter's death description - I really think that it sounding horrible doesn't mean it's not WP:NPOV - Kuntar himself talked about the incident this way, he's the one in the interrogation that from his words the whole incident is made clear. I don't think we should omit details that aren't disputed by anyone, from the article. If someone would say that he didn't do it in this way, then it can be disputed, but his supporters don't dispute the event, just the cause or motive maybe, not the details of the killing which he recounted himself.

• it might sound a bit WP:POV, but it's one of these cases when it's impossible to treat it differently I think, since both sides acknowledge the facts for the full extent. Look at other articles here : [1] - this is what child murderers in cold blood are described like.

Amoruso 12:30, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm with you on suffocation definition in the grammar sense, and your "entered" suggestions. I'm not in agreement to change anything that has to do with the murder of the child. I think it needs to stay gruesome as it is, and in fact can be described much more grusomely. I won't support any other changes... Amoruso 12:53, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ABBA Fact, not Fiction

I am amused/alarmed to see that the war over two adjectives has elicited such melodramatic responses.

For fear of adding to the ridiculousness of the situation I will be brief.

I am a BBC journalist, and am well aware of the concept of objectivity in writing. And like many people, I have listened to ABBA since 1974. I have also followed public and critical opinion of them since then. And watched documentaries in which Benny, Björn, Frida and Agnetha discuss the music etc. There is no doubt that ABBA are widely seen as purveyors of uplifting, buoyant pop. But there is also more than occasional mention of the sad and melancholic strands in and aspects to their music/harmonies/melodies/individual voices. [they are from Sweden after all] A kind of joyous melancholy in the tradition of the Mamas & the Papas, the Beach Boys, the Hollies etc. I'm sure that a music theorist could back up what I, for the last week or so, have unsuccessfully been trying to put across in a single half-sentence. My controversial [to a few of you] Wikipedia words have been merely descriptive. I do not consider them the least bit conroversial or irresponsibly opinionated. They are certainly not 'first-person' in the way that much of the flowery and bloated language of ABBA's Wikipedia entry reads.

In my Edits I have identified several Google links to prove my point, but my efforts have been ignored by those who, I strongly feel, appear to be personalising the ABBA entry in a way that I find a bit scary, actually. From where I'm sitting it appears that this tiny, all-male ABBA revolt smacks of double standards and nerdy hypocrisy. As you should know by now, the website is loaded with examples of personal opinion doubling as received opinion and fact etc. And in most cases they are not wrong. They serve an adjectival, descriptive purpose. And on this occasion, 'melancholic' is not merely a personal opinion.

I do not know my way around Wikipedia beyond the basics, but I think it is almost worth taking the matter higher up. And how does one get the power to use those funny little Warning signs, I wonder.

Tisk. Tisk. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DavidOPerson (talk • contribs).

DavidOPerson 19:07, 15 September 2006 (UTC)Thank for your informative input re: 'uplifting/melancholy' in the music of ABBA.

However, you have confirmed my suspicions regarding the repeated removal of my half-sentence. You mention a 'consensus'. As far as I have noticed, there are merely a core few who have objected to my observation. I assume they are in fact different people, but whether or not they are, their number hardly constitutes what I would call a consensus. I have elicited laughter from several people when informing them of the extremist – and at times childishly worded – assaults on my ABBA contributions. And I know too many people who agree with the 'uplifting/melancholy' tag for me to allow a few hardcore – and perhaps philistine – bulllies to have their way. Happily, I have just noticed in the 'I'm Giving up on This Article' section that an anonymous person has called 'uplifting but melancholic' a "great description of ABBA's music".

The real issue here appears to be one of control, which is obscuring the more vital point involving a broadly accepted view about the true nature of the ABBA sound.

At some point I will take the matter higher. DavidOPerson 19:07, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi HawkerTyphoon, I said in my edit summary that I removed the literature as it was A) in German and B) there was no relevance established to the article.

[edit] German Navy

Why did you add a GeoCities link to this site? You know full well that GeoCities is unreliable and shit. Don't do it again. StalinsLoveChild 20:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

It is against the rules use bad language toward me or call me an idiot - Especially when I am clearly neither. You've shown your true colors as a poor Wikipedian today, rest assured that I will be keeping a close eye on your edits in future. StalinsLoveChild 21:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I am fully aware of WP:CIVIL, more so than your arrogant self it would seem. I have said no personal insults to you whereas you have said "shit" twice and "idiot" three times now. You have broken numerous rules which I will list below:

• Rudeness (calling me an idiot, telling me I don't know what I'm doing)

• Judgmental tone in edit summaries (calling me an idiot)

• Taunting (calling me an idiot telling me I don't know what I'm doing)

• Personal attacks (calling me an idiot telling me I don't know what I'm doing)

• Racial, ethnic, sexual, and religious slurs (yes, you have noticed my ancestry so you think you can belittle me in an article related to German history. This has not gone un-noticed)

• Profanity directed at another contributor (calling me an idiot, which i consider very personally insulting)

• Lies (saying I don't know what I'm doing when I do)

• Giving users derogatory names (Calling me an idiot)

Also, for the record, "GeoCities" is spelled with a capital C, and "vandalism" is spellesd "vandalism". So I suggest YOU read WP:CIVIL, "cadet", and come back when you've got something useful to say (though I'd prefer you didn't). StalinsLoveChild 21:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

You are skewing the truth now with sarcasm and tyranny. I never said you were a racist, I merely pointed out that you broke the racist rule. If I'm from a German family then I think I know what I'm talking about in the German Navy, don't you? Thought so. Stop twisting the truth and digging yourself a deeper hole. Do something useful to Wikipedia instead, like cancelling your internet subscription (note that is not an insult it is fact). I can't believe I'm now being accused of racism, a complete flip-flop. Don't bother replying, I know exactly what you're going to say already. StalinsLoveChild 22:13, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Right first of all let's correct your childish errors (once again) -

"nsult" is spelled "insult", "Ancestry" does not need to be capitalized, and there is absolutely no point in redlinking "warfare officer", or providing any links at all, it's patronizing. You think I don't know what the Royal Navy is? Further proof of your perceived superiority to me. If you were a real German you wouldn't be a part of the British military and that's fact. I have been contributing to Wikipedia since before you were born, buddy, so i don't need a lecture on what, what not, or what not to do. And I certainly don't need to be told what to do. It would be best for you if you took back your numerous accusations and insults, because we both know you clearly don't know how to conduct yourself appropriately.StalinsLoveChild 22:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

You've captalized "ancestry" again, and I'm not even going to bother poiting out your other spelling mistakes ( "aroudn", capitalization of "Wikipedia", "Thankyou" should be two words). And not that it's any of your business, but I have had numerous past accounts on Wikipedia, which usually get shut down due to the ignorance of people like you not knowing what's best. I accept your humble apologies for your futile attempt to proke a reaction from me - but I myself have nothing to apologize for, I made a simple click error (which was the blame of my mouse, not me, so more fool you - no offence, of course). The only thing I have to apologize for is wasting my valuable time and intellect on this page. StalinsLoveChild 23:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

You've been here longer than I, so I don't have much right to say anything.

Maybe I need this explained to me, but how is an official fansite (keep in mind that it's a fansite in name only), endorsed and updated by the band themselves, that posts news, tour dates, and other important information considered an inappropriate external link? I can understand why you'd remove the less prolific and informational ones, but removing that one seems a tad on the daft side.

Yeah, usually with images from websites the url is given. I think you already found the actual person that took the photo? You said "copyright is held by 'Jordan, IGN, Microsoft'". If that's the photographer that's great, although you might want to state it more clearly. I think with the source url and fair use claim everything should be ok though. I don't think it's a good candidate for speedy delete anyway. - cohesion 18:53, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concerning Sonny Moore Deletion

Why do you keep suggesting that his page be deleted/merged? (I assume, based on the history section, that you're the one who suggested it should be deleted.) Shouldn't he be allowed to have his own page even if it's only a small biography? MusicGirl21 22:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SONNY MOORE

U dont have very good reasons either. If Sonny Moore walked down the street in an average town it's unlikly he'd need a body guard, RING A BELL. Well if u walked down the street in an average town its unlikly YOU'D need a body gaurd YET u still have a page similar to Sonny's as does every wikipedian.Emo girl101

Yea i no what kind of pages wikipedians have, but they are still considered pages. Just because hes not notable to u doesnt mean he isnt to others. My reasons r that he is still famous and if u have a problem with the page just dont look at it. Simple as that.Emo girl101

[edit] User:Tajik vandalizing article on Afghanistan

OK, about using minor edits warning you explained. I need help with User:Tajik, who is repeatedly vandalizing my hard work on Afghanistan's article. He wants to remove all the major Encycolpedia sources I attached to my edits and refuses to accept that Mahmud Ghaznavi was born in Ghazni, which is in present-day Afghanistan. Every Encyclopedia states that he was, every source related to Afghanistan says he was, in fact, even his tomb or grave is still there. Meaning that Mahmud Ghaznavid is burried there until now. I have no idea why this User:Tajik wants to deny this? Please help me stop this person from destroying my hard work that I did on Afghanistan's article. I think he just did 3RR's by now on the Afghan article. Thanx! Pashtun Dec. 1, 2006
