[edit] Andrew Diey

Hello. I noticed that you are a participant on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Electronic music. I have come across this article which may be a candidate for this project. I did not see how to add an article to the project, however. Can you take a look at it and possibly adopt this article to love? Thanks! James084 14:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for your kind words!

[edit] Godot

Hi! I was just looking at a slightly old edit you made on the Beckett page, removing the pronounciation of "Godot". I think you took it that the anon-user was trying to imply something about Godot and a relationship to the Christian God, but I should point out that, according Beckett, it was indeed pronounced with an emphasis on the first syllable, as in "GAWD-oh" (there's a weblink somewhere on the actual Godot explaining this). The "Guh-doh" pronounciation is apparently (also according to SB) a (North) American invention. Anyway, I don't think it's actually necessasry to place that information in the Beckett article anyway, as it's discussed at some length in the article to which the name pertains. Sorry, don't mean to be nitpicky, but I thought you'd be interested to hear that little piece of trivia.

Cheers!

Sure, point taken, I just think that if pronunciations are desired then phonetics should be used... not a transliteration, especially so when it puts GOD in capital letters in this context, where people have questioned if Godot represents God. Martin Hinks 16:56, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Beckett

No need to apologize for not helping—everyone has their own schedules, of course, and we can never predict illness, can we? (Well, usually not, anyhow.) I hope you're feeling better now and that you have a pleasant holiday.

I think I can probably handle the task of creating a "Works" section on my own this evening, but thanks sincerely for the offer of help; even if it didn't materialize due to personal circumstances, it is most appreciated. Take care. —Saposcat 10:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks a lot for the awards; I appreciate it. And welcome back. —Saposcat 06:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:The KLF.jpg

Hi. I believe you uploaded the image Image:The KLF.jpg and tagged it as a promotional picture? We've got The KLF article up as a Featured article candidate and the copyright status of that image might be a sticking point. If you can tell me any more about the origin of that image and why you believe it to be promotional/fair use please drop me a line on my talk page or at Image talk:The KLF.jpg. Thanks! --kingboyk 16:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. We got in touch with the owner of the image and he isn't happy for it to be used. Shame but c'est la vie. We've gone with the "Why sheep?" picture instead. I'm nominating the image you uploaded for deletion - don't worry about it, and you don't have to do anything (unless you object) but the guidelines say I have to let you know by placing this here (it's just a formality) -

Thanks, I posted my views on Talk:The_KLF/The_KLF.jpg about the "why sheep" image - apologies again for all the hassle with the image! Martin Hinks 10:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

No worries mate, it's not your fault. It's just that when an article comes up for Featured Article status these things get more closely scrutinised. No harm done! Thanks for supporting our nomination by the way. --kingboyk 10:20, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Geez, I have such a bad memory - I'd forgotten you uploaded the original picture. Can't remember fully what it looked like either - Jimmy staring off into the distance with Bill stood beside/behind him? Was the car in the pic? Hmm... --kingboyk 15:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:The KLF.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:The KLF.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Fluke (band)

Hiya again. As you've probably noticed, I was having a shifty through your contributions and have made some edits to articles about Fluke. You're doing a great job but there's a couple of consistent issues you need to be aware of:

  • Style. Albums should be in italics, "Song Titles" in quotes. That's the Wikipedia way.
  • Please don't redlink every song Fluke ever recorded. I think you'd probably agree that The KLF are a bit more notable than Fluke, but that we don't have articles for every song the band ever recorded (see e.g. The White Room). The reason is that unless a song is very notable, and lots of interesting things have been written about it, it's never going to result in an article that is any better than a stub. Write about individual songs in the album article, unless they are very notable and can easily fill an article (such as "Last Train to Trancentral").

Hope that helps! --kingboyk 12:12, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi again, thanks for the feedback - at the time I redlinked every song in Puppy I was a little less familiar with Wikipedia - so thank you for delinking. I am planning to create pages for released singles to create a chronological record via the singles boxes, but not for every song! Thanks also for the style conventions - I'll have to go through and change all those. I'm just trying to send a message to the band at the moment requesting promotional photographs that we could use as (again) I am not 100% sure of the copyright of the image that is used at the moment, and with all the KLF fuss I thought I should sort that out now! Gonna try and get them to clarify the sources for the Peel sessions as well cos that is bugging me (spent like 4 hours tracking down known sources only to find inconsistencies - bloody BBC!) Thanks again for the feedback, I'll continue to improve the article and make this page the definitive Fluke source. Martin Hinks 12:19, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
P.S. The KLF may be more notable than Fluke is terms of historical posterity but they play a larger role in my record collection hehe! Martin Hinks 12:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I'd change "may" to are definitely, with the proviso that "notability" does not equal "quality". The KLF were, of course, not only commercially successful but masters at the art of media manipulation... :P Anyway, good work man, see you around! --kingboyk 12:35, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I have very little by them sorry to say... But, to celebrate our interraction I'm now listening to "Groovy Feeling" (my only Fluke single, and it's a corker). --kingboyk 12:31, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Hehe, good stuff! I'm just redoing the style in the main article now - so much more fun than doing the work i'm *supposed* to be doing! Martin Hinks 12:32, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The KLF

Thanks! Please take a look at WP:KLF, see what you think... ?  :) --kingboyk 13:15, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moby: Talk page

I'm sorry for blanking the Moby talks page. It was unintentionally. Probably, some problems with mine browser... Or with my hands... - unsigned - User: WFrag

No problem, as I said in my message don't be put off, just wanted to make sure you were a "goodie"! :p Martin Hinks 17:53, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] quote from TCM per Leftfield

If you wanted to say, for example, that Scott Kirkland made that quote, I have a page I've been putting together. I didn't consider it worth adding to the encyclopedia yet. Scott and Ken are both very private people and finding information about them has been hard. ... aa:talk 15:12, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] *A barnstar!*

The Original Barnstar
I Andeh, award you this barnstar for your excellent contributions to music related articles, especially Fluke. Keep up the good work! Andeh 09:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Congratulations! --kingboyk 09:50, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Cheers kingboy! Martin Hinks 10:21, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Articles needing context - football

Well, I have no objections over this. Thanks for informing me about this. --Siva1979Talk to me 17:31, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

That's cool - I actually already did the edits this afternoon - thanks for getting back to me. Martin Hinks 17:32, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Air Marshal S. Radhakrishnan

Thanks very kindly for you attention. I suspected he was part of the Indian Air Force, but I thought it was very unclear.

My second objection, I think, remains fairly valid. Although he is the rough equvalent of a lt. general or rear admiral, the article still doesn't explain his particular signfigance.

Cheers: V. Joe 17:02, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Indeed - I added a significance tag to the article so hopefully someone can address that. Martin Hinks 17:07, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leftfield

don't worry bout it, happy to do it, was just browsing and noticed the discography needed some work and as I still like their music a lot I thought I may-aswell update it to how it should look :D. --Chappy84 16:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kylie Said To Jason

Should you be interested, there's a new KLF article available for your perusal - Kylie Said To Jason. --kingboyk 15:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Ooh very nice - I'll take a peek in a bit - just going to do some referencing to a Thomas Pynchon related article. Martin Hinks 16:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Against the Day

Hi,

I notice you've made some very good contributions to the Gravity's Rainbow article, so you may be interested in a discussion over at the Against the Day article. I've added more sections to that article than are usual and there have been some complaints, so some of those sections may be deleted. If you have an interest, please take a look at it and at the discussion in the "Abstruse Words" section on the talk page, and if you have an opinion, I'd value it, whether you agree or disagree.
