User talk:Macca7174
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello, and welcome to wikipedia!
I noticed that you had some trouble linking to Intermission (film) in the I Fought the Law article. I thought I'd demonstrate how to do this, so that you'll know in the future.
To make a wikilink appear with a term other than the title of the article, type the article name and enclose it in brackets [[]] as normal. Before the closing brackets, however, insert a | (right above the enter key) followed by the alternative text you wish to display.
So, the link you were trying to make in the I Fought the Law article should look like this: [[Intermission (film)|Intermission]].
You can actually put any text you want into the wikilink this way, but obviously you should try to only use this when it makes sense.

[edit] Arctic Monkeys MySpace "controversy"
Hi - thanks for the comment at Talk:Arctic Monkeys regarding MySpace. I agree that the paragraph in question was not as clear as it might have been in explaining the situation, so I have given it a work over with a few references. I think it reads a lot better now, and clarifies the situation quite well. If you want to change anything, be bold and edit it yourself. The worst that can happen is that your changes are reverted, but if they are sensible or you include suitable rationale on the talk page, they are likely to be very useful to the article. This is a wiki after all!
Finally, please remember to sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (i.e. "~~~~"). You can alter the appearance of your signature through the "My Preferences" tab.

[edit] Dufus (band)
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Dufus (band), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Dufus (band). If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

- I have amended the Dufus (band) wiki to include further information about the band, as well as external links (eg album reviews from PopMatters. However, You also applied a speedy deletion tag to the Ball of Design album wiki, and it has been deleted before I was even aware that the tag was applied. I havee links to a PopMatters review of the album, would that be suffice to have the article reinstated, and if so, can I retrieve the material I already wrote on teh article?--Macca7174 13:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
The speedy tag on the album article was applied by Ju66l3r. I will place the contents of the deleted article in to a sub-page of your user pages in order for you to edit the text. (aeropagitica) 15:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

- I see that (aeropagitica) has already gotten back to you on this. I'm sorry your album article was removed but in the initial state, there was nothing I could easily use to verify its validity and its link to the band article (which also had similar problems) further justified that I should suggest it for removal under the same process due to a lack of assertion of notability.
-
- I understand your reasoning for not more strongly assigning notability in your original draft, but that makes it very difficult for editors, like myself, who watch for every garage band guitar player who wants to list their homemade band/albums. When I generate new articles, I may leave sections blank, but I try to clearly state the "why this needs an article" factor up front. Hope that helps. ju66l3r 19:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- OK, thank you. How will I know when it is acceptable to reinstate the article? I assume it's when (if) the Dufus (band) Article for Deletion dispute is resolved.--Macca7174 18:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
The article has been reinstated and is now under discussion at the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dufus (band) page. The votes so far are keep, so it may well pass in five days' time. (aeropagitica) 21:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
