[edit] Greetings
Hello SaxTeacher, Thanks for your amendment to Saxophone. I wonder if you would care to take a look at Big Band to see if Ive got all my facts straight on saxes?--Light current 01:54, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] New Trier article
Hello SaxTeacher. Regarding New Trier High School, while your statement that "The school serves New Trier Township" is true, parts of the high school district (Sunset Ridge School District [which includes more than half of Northfield and a few streets in Northbrook] and the Wilmette Golf Course area) are actually in Northfield Township. Take a look at the high school district map [1] and the township map [2] to see the differences. The township line is also shown on the high school district map. It would be better to revert to the original sentence. -- unsigned
[edit] Saxophone article and Eugene Rousseau (saxophonist)
Hello SaxTeacher. Thanks from France for your edits. That's a good surprise and an enjoyment to see your interest for the saxophone. For Eugene Rousseau, I gave the right title of his book ("Marcel Mule : sa vie et le saxophone". As you know, I suppose, it was a american book but written and published in french language. I gave too the other book about this master (so essential, as you know too, for saxophonists and music lovers). I think the page is quite serious, with good informations.Best regards. -- User XXXXX 131
[edit] Saxophone embouchure
Hello SaxTeacher. The world needs more like you. May you spread the word of Saxophone across the nations of the world!
Anyway, I've just added a paragraph to the "embouchure" section of the saxophone article on the effects of an embouchure in which the pressure is applied primarily with the lower teeth, as opposed to the chin muscles. I wrote this based on information in Larry Teal's "Art of Saxophone Playing," as well as my own experience on the alto. After seven years of playing, I'm still nursing a sizeable callus.
I was just hoping that you could check the paragraph for completion and accuracy, as you are in fact an actual bona fide saxophone teacher. Thanks. --Mixolydian 5.25.06
[edit] Carillons
I'm afraid we were editing the article at the same time. I assume most of your edits came into place, except your major input: The description of 'similar instruments' fits mostly into the already existing article Campanology; you might like to take your latest edits from Carillon's history, and incorporate some of it in either Campanology or Carillon (as far as still needed). See also the newly introduced definition references in Carillon (largely borrowed from the talk page). The List of carillons still needs some clear reference to the definition, I think that list should be split in a chapter for traditional carillons, and one for other true carillons. -- SomeHuman 2006-07-04 18:50 (UTC)
[edit] Paul Cohen (saxophonist)
Is this the some guy mentioned in "Lila Downs"? -MrFizyx 03:32, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Actually I think there are two different Paul Cohens who play the sax. See this conversation I have had with myself here. I also altered the Paul Cohen disambiguation to reflect this, see if all this makes sense to you. -MrFizyx 07:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, SaxTeacher, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
[edit] Saxophonic
Do you have any idea what has happened to the online presence of the London Saxophonic? There's nothing to be found except for references to the Moondog CD. Badagnani 19:45, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request
This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I may have found your page based on your contributions or your link repair user box on your user page. If you are not a member, please consider including your name on the project page. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 23:19, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User 150.199.193.10
Hello. You've left vandalism warnings on this user's talk page and reported them to WP:AIV, but they haven't edited Wikipedia since November 7. I believe that there was a mistake and you went after the wrong IP. Also, I should recommend that you refrain from using {{test4im}} unless in the presence of extreme vandalism. Regards.--Húsönd 01:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lebensborn
Please keep in mind that sometimes vandals flock and stack. You better watch out for both anon IPs and redlinked user names in article history. Your well-meaning edit masked a previous hoax. `'mikkanarxi 02:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gyrodynes - spelling
Hi. I notice you made some spelling changes to this article. Please would you note that Wikipedia policy is that changes to spellings on the basis of national preference - eg "programme" to "program" - are not permitted. This is to prevent update wars.
best wishes; OrangUtanUK 18:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reeds
I am concerned that the section on reeds is incomplete, inaccurate, opinionated and is potentially damaging to students' and players' development. You should not have removed all the updates I made to the section on Reeds, saying that it was inappropriate to mention 'who plays what reeds' whereas you have left in an unsubstantiated opinion of yours implying it is a good thing 'to progress to numbef 5 reeds' which is very bad advice. The players I mention: Bob Berg, Iain Ballamy and Mark Lockheart are all well-known jazz players with exemplary sax sounds who either studied at or teach at recognized acadamies: Julliard and The Royal Academy respectively. Since I know what reeds these players use and that Joe Henderson, Johnny Griffin, Sonny Rollins all used Med-Soft or Med reeds respectively these facts should not be left out and should replace the unsubstantiated and damaging comment currently in the article about No 5 reeds. Perhaps you would be kind enough to write to me to explain what is your motive for having taken this action - which, as you can see has quite annoyed me. Is there any sense in which you 'own' the information in the Saxophones entry? Trismegister 23:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Admin coaching, etc.
Are you ready to get started?
The waiting time over at Admin coaching is long (some people have been waiting in line since July). I'm an admin coach with the project, and for my students I set up a group discussion page so that we could all learn from each other. The scope of this concept has expanded into the Virtual classroom, which is an open forum for the teaching and learning of advanced Wikipedia skills.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate, as a student, as a coach, or both. Every week or two a new major topic of discussion or classroom assignment is introduced, usually with a guest writer who presents his or her expertise on the current subject and who remains on hand to answer questions. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the discussions, such as sharing your expertise, asking and answering questions, etc.
The current topic of discussion is vandalism, and our guest writer is Budgiekiller.
All discussions are open-ended, so all previous discussion topics and classroom assignments are still there for viewing and further participation. There are also sections for posting miscellaneous topics and questions, requesting coaching assistance, etc.
In addition to inviting those who would like to learn, I routinely invite experts from all over Wikipedia to come and contribute for the benefit of all. The VC is rapidly turning into a clearing house of the best resources, methods, and techniques known for working on Wikipedia.
You are cordially invited to participate.
Here's an announcement box which you can place on your userpage or at the top of your talk page for keeping up to date with classroom assignments.
I hope to see you there. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 08:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Concordia Newsletter
NEWSLETTER
Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.
[edit] Help out now!
- Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
- Give people the Civility Barnstar.
- Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
- Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
- Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.
We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.
[edit] Decision Making
The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.
If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.
