I need user boxes for my user page damnit!!!!!!!!
[edit] cools!
Hiya, thanks for your work on the San Diego-related articles. When you make comments on talk pages, put them at the end of the page. Thanks Kellen T 11:01, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Don't even get started with userboxes; WP people are freaking out about them at the moment. Kellen T 11:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
There is also a request to delete Mika Miko. Kellen T 12:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment - i left a vote and will try and write more of an extended response/flesh out the articles. I kind of think it's ridiculous that someone believes these articles are self-promotional as these are non-profit COMMUNITY-run spaces while bars like the Casbah have pages and that seems to be accepted?? Thanks though!! I will try and integrate that Che info on the article page too, just havent had time lately! hotdiggitydogs 01:15, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Krist Novoselic
In this article you wrote Cobain and Novoselic started a Creedence Clearwater Revival cover band, in which Cobain played drums and Novoselic sang and played guitar. . Is that true? I researched this information, nothing has been said regarding this. I removed that sentence off of the article. If you can provide reliable sources, then it would be alright to reinstate that information.
- Michael Azerrad, Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana, p 54-55:
- "Noting that the Melvins were awarded the princely sum of eighty dollars for a night's work, Chris and Kurt started a Creedence Clearwater Revival cover band aptly named the Sellouts. They figured CCR was country-rock and therefore would go over well in rural Aberdeen. The band was Kurt on drums, Chris on guitar, and a fellow named Steve Newman on bass (Newman later lost his fingers in a woodcutting accident). They practiced at Chris and Shelli's house, but it only got as far as five or six rehearsals. They broke up after Kurt and Newman got into a big fight one day at Chris and Shelli's. They were sitting around drinking when Newman tried to attack Kurt with a vacuum cleaner. Kurt grabbed a two-by-four and brained his much larger opponent."

Thanks, I've skimmed though a few books myself on grunge, if you reinstate that information, please site your source. I'll have to go check that information out myself, it's certainly interesting RiseRobotRise 05:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- No worries. Come as You Are is probably the definitive Nirvana bio, as Azerrad spent several months on tour with the band talking to them about their history. Some of it is flawed, given that Cobain and Novoselic admittedly embellished some of their stories, and it's sometimes hard to split the fact from the fiction. But, even in those cases, it's their fiction, not something somebody else invented (which is part of the problem with Charles Cross' Heavier than Heaven). -- ChrisB 06:05, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Swing Kids afd discussion
Hey, thanks for your help and support in keeping the article. As you're aware, this is my first article on Wikipedia so I'm painfully "noobish." This has been a great learning experience I must say. Curtyv 17:44, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Request for edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:TheCasbah.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TheCasbah.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 01:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- I see you've placed a tag on the image, but you need to include a source as well, so other can go there and verify its accuracy. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 09:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trunk Space, Modified Arts, and Paper Heart Gallery
Hello. I was hoping for your opinion on the articles I created for these venues, seeing as I used Che Cafe, The Smell, 924 Gilman Street, and The Casbah as models for them. Please respond on my talk page, or, any corresponding AfDs. Thanks! PT (s-s-s-s) 00:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] HeartattaCk
Would you be able to lend a hand on either contributing reliable sources for this article or providing your opinion on the corresponding AfD? PT (s-s-s-s) 00:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] response
Hi! Sorry for the delay. My IP was autoblocked and I've been trying to get that fixed. Anyway, yes, I'm very interested, as much as time will allow. We will be in touch! PT (s-s-s-s) 21:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] HeartattaCk
I believe the decision to delete this article was made in error, so I have asked for a deletion review. Since you were involved in the AfD on this, I wanted to inform you so that you might weigh in. PT (s-s-s-s) 17:29, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: The Casbah
hey dude - go ahead and remove the "references needed tag". take care! Shamrox 19:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] thanks
I appreciate that! I'll keep watching... Parsssseltongue 01:00, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Sbarkfe
I've noticed that you wrote a message to that user and told him that his/her article will be soon deleted. Although he may be a vandal. I think it should be necessary to assume good faith and allow him/her the opportunity to contest any kind of motion to delete the article.
The article is currently going though AFD. Please allow the AFD to stand for a week or so, unless if no supportive information is supplied. Thank you RiseRobotRise 03:50, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Your message to the above editor makes an assumption that I have "an agenda" against the article. Upon what evidence do you base that accusation? The article was deleted because it was unsourced nonsense of no encyclopedic value. Citing and referencing sources would demonstrate a degree of academic rigour on the part of the contributing editor and would also allow for the information to be verified. The AfD process gives the author or other interested party five days to perform this task before consensus is reached.
- If you would like to discuss my reasons for deleting an article then please leave me a message to that effect. It is not good practise to encourage an editor to repost speedily deleted material whilst making assumptions about the reasons an admin deleted it in the first place. (aeropagitica) 09:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to make you think I'm a vandal, I had no intention...I should of taken more time to plan this out before I made the page...but I didn't know wiki works that way...I thought I would just be able to start the article and people who know what they are doing could go through and add what they know about it. --Sbarkfe 02:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- The article was deleted at 00:25, November 19 and recreated at 00:41 the same day. Your message was left at 04:17, by which time the article had been recreated, so the red link would have turned blue again; the recreation had already occurred by the time that you left your message. The message left for Sbarkfe is a standard deletion warning, left for hundreds of editors every day.
- You didn't just leave a message asking for sources to be stated, you questioned my reasons for deletion without questioning me, making an assumption without my rationale. I haven't assumed that the editor knows anything about policy or how to write good articles because if they did then I wouldn't have had a reason to delete it and the article wouldn't have gone to AfD with an overwhelming delete consensus, the only two keep votes from yourself and the author. I haven't bitten any newcomers or made assumptions about their knowledge of process or emotional state. I deleted an encyclopedic page and informed the author of this process, something that I and many other admins do on an ongoing basis as a daily task. The standard warnings are part of the process. If you want to debate the merits of the wording of standard warnings then you can do so at WP:ANB for starters. (aeropagitica) 05:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
