Hi, Leo44, Welcome to Wikipedia!
[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:


I hope you like this place--I sure do--and want to stay. If you need help on how to title new articles check out Wikipedia:Naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and The FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check The Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or The Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on My User talk Page.

Additional Tips:

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • You may want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

[edit] Trans link

Mea culpa. When I see an anon deleting info I usually assume its vandalism. Tnx for catching this one. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 03:39, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of works by Johann Sebastian Bach

Hey, I was doing massive edits to the article today and have been planning to do more edits in the coming hours. I noticed you added some things that conflict with what I did (we were both editing at the same time), could we maybe work this out somehow? I could stop editing and let you do the things you want or you could stop editing and let me finish what I began. Jashiin 19:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I thought it was weird there was no section for 'late contrapunctal works' and just started editing. If I had checked, I would have seen that you were in the middle of something. Keep going! --Leo44 (talk) 19:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Its allright, these things can happen to anyone. Its not like people should check article history before making even the smallest edit. The article did lack a section for late contrapunctal works, in fact, The Art of Fugue and The Musical Offering were part of "Canons"! :) I moved them to a separate section and was thinking about giving both the canons and those two works a separate heading but you beat me to it by like, a couple of minutes :) Jashiin 20:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I tweaked the structure a little, does this look better? Why I keep "The Art of Fugue" and "The Musical Offering" in the heading is because I want a casual reader who heard about these works to be able to find them quickly in the contents tab. As for sources, well, I'm using Dave's page (which sadly has some mistakes) and [1] (in French, I can understand some things, but not everything). I compare the two and use my Bach audio collection to filter out random mistakes. Thanks for the encouragement :) Jashiin 10:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, I can't remember exactly what mistakes were there, I believe they were mostly minor details like a wrong number for Vivaldi's original composition or a wrong movement number in some description. So don't be worried too much, its still a very comprehensive page :) Jashiin 11:03, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translation request

Hi. I wrote the article Regent Parrot mostly by translating the Dutch article at nl:Bergparkiet. There were some words etc. where my Dutch let me down, and those remain commented out. I'd appreciate it if you could edit the article and finish the translation. Thanks for your time and attention. Cheers, Tomertalk 09:58, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

If you looked in on the article, thanks for your time...my questions have been answered. :-) Tomertalk 20:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VWN en WCN

Beste Leo44 Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven.

Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, effeietsanders 16:32, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jandek album covers

First thing, it's now easy to undelete deleted images. I haven't done any mass deletions before we got this feature. So if any image is actually contributing significantly to the articles, it can be undeleted by any admin in just a few clicks.

Second, Wikipedia fair use policy which has been a compromise between pro-fair-use and everything-has-to-be-free factions puts very high standards of when fair use images are appropriate:

The material must contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose.

Because in the past fair use CD/DVD covers have been uploaded just for decoration, in spite of Wikipedia policies, I'm all for deleting all of them en masse right now, and selectively undeleting only those that actually significantly contribute to articles. One cover actually contains a photo of Jandek (as used in article Jandek), and I have nothing against using that one. But most of them seem to be simply a decoration

Now I find your claim that Jandek's album covers are somehow significant rather dubious, as there isn't a single word about significance of the covers in Jandek article. If the covers are actually significant, something would be written about that in the article.

Enjoy :-) Taw 13:56, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jandek

Thanks so much for the comments! I don't think it will be too hard to edit these pages to these specs. I already did "Ready for the House" if you want to check it. For everything I learn, I learn something new. My goal (as you've guessed) is to post comments on every Jandek album to date, and then to keep that going.

I'll make a small change to Down in a Mirror. I've never QUITE been able to figure that "tick" out. You hear his shoes tap on many songs but that song (and one on the following album) sounds like something more "timed" - but as I can't tell quite what it is, I'll edit slightly.

And thanks for reminding me about The Rocks Crumble! I've certainly heard the Trubee interview but had forgotten that anecdote. Will get that fixed right away.

Thanks for the comments and for helping me out. My goal is for these to look professional and help anyone trying to sort through this increasingly massive catalog. And there's more coming - I'm going to both upcoming shows so we'll see what lies ahead for Corwood.

Thanks, Disink 15:48, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


Wow, I think I'm finally getting the hang of "User Talk." I suppose I need to relisten to the whole damn thing again myself. The problem, for me, is the way it's presented on the DVD, where you can't pause it or search it. At least it was split into two parts! And, of course, I appreciate having it at all. Thanks SO much for the info - I'll make the changes right away.

Disink 16:54, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


I would LOVE this. I'll add that not only would I appreciate it, but you'd be aiding in the novel I'm writing, which is a fictitious biography of Jandek (done with Corwood's assistance and approval). Listening to this interview has proven frustrating more than once, so I am in your debt if you could find it in yourself to do that. Thanks so much!!!

Disink 17:04, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


Thanks so much for the YSI. In return, I'll get "The Cell" up - will take me a bit (I only have a 256k connection - doh!) but you'll have it all by day's end.

As for the book, I've got some pretty heavy confidentiality agreements in order to use the Jandek name, lyrics, and cover images BUT I can tell you that there will be cool stuff in the book that will hopefully elucidate this artist more clearly. As to its "factual" or "fictitious" nature I can only say that it is a fictitious biography, and meant to be taken as a work of fiction. For instance, the name "Sterling Smith" appears nowhere in the book.

Though it's not been publically announced yet, I've been booked to do a reading from this book in Chicago at 7PM on the 19'th at Quimby's Books. I'm having some gorgeous chapbooks (with, if all works out, a cover by Corwood) printed for the reading that will be available at no cost. I'm trying to work out a place for Toronto as well. The Quimby's thing will be announced in the next few weeks, but I'm free to discuss it now. more than a little excited about that!

In fact, my work here on the discography helps with the book - I was going back through the catalog one by one anyway and decided to see what was here (I always love alternate hearings), only to discover great looking sites with little info. So I'm trying to fill in the gaps. Thanks again SO MUCH for the mp3 and I'll give you links for the Cell (why oh why couldn't he have just called the album that?) ASAP. You will be AMAZED. Thanks in advance so much. Disink 17:49, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Album article names

I noticed your recently created album The Letting Go (album) and thought I'd point out that Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums#Naming discourages the pre-emptive disamb. I don't think you need to redirect it, but since The Letting Go isn't a "taken" article name, you could have used that. Anyhow, just FYI. --Fisherjs 19:43, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
