[edit] Praise

You did an excellent job rewriting the Rollie Free article; I touched it up a bit more, and then moved it into the place of the original. Good work. DS 22:09, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Rollie Free, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

--Cactus.man ✍ 19:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

No problem, it was just too interesting a fact to leave out :-) A wee dram or two sometime would go down well. !! --Cactus.man ✍ 06:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The "bathing suit bike" shot

Hi, I saw the discussion on the Rollie Free talk page. This is not my area, but if the Photo really is significant as one of the most famous photographs in motorcycling history, then we would have a pretty good fair use claim, as long as the article makes this point and discusses the photograph. See the {{HistoricPhoto}} template for further details of the appropriate image copyright tag. The photograph would definitely benefit the article. Hope that helps. --Cactus.man ✍ 14:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Johnny Mathis

good job with the edits *thumbs up* Drmagic 00:40, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for reverting Elton John vandalism

Thanks! You beat me to it, always nice to see a few new faces in that area. Every little bit helps. Luna Santin 10:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

After so much effort has been put into the page, it such a shame some need to show their own limitations. I'm not gay, but he is a great performer! Thanks - Rgds, - Trident13 10:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good work cleaning up Kelsey Grammer

I had this down to do on my list of projects, but I see you and a few others have done a mighty fine job cleaning this article up. There were just too many facts that were either the deliberate work of stealth vandals or not quite right. Additionally, some very important aspects of his life were not mentioned (such as growing up in Broward County, Florida).--Hokeman 17:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow!

Diolch yn fawr (one of the only phrases I know in Welsh)! Thank you so much for the barnstar! - Tapir Terrific 18:38, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 FARC

Hi there—Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 is currently on the Featured Article Removal list. Attempts to improve the article since its nomination for FA Review have been insufficient, by consensus.

I note that you have contributed to the article, and I wonder whether you're able to assist at this crucial stage. It would be a pity if the article were no longer featured after all of the work that was put into having it promited. Tony 05:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elton John

Thanks for that. I've filed a AIV on him. Hopefully if an admins agree with us, e'll be blocked soon. -Abstract Idiot 08:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aberthaw Cement Works

HI mate I like what you have done to Aberthaw Cement works. I live near it in Barry but I didn't really know anything about it- just started the article with my photograph. I'll get a better photo some time as I am driving past it!! Thanks. You don't live near me by any chance? Ernst Stavro Blofeld 09:41, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Motorcycle "Thumbs Up"

You get a "thumbs up" personal user award from me due to your contributions to motorcycle related article here on Wikipedia! -Roguegeek 18:58, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! It's a bit of a passion...! Rgds, - Trident13 20:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Football AID 8 October – 15 October

Thank you for participating in the Football AID vote this week.

Bill Shankly has been selected as this week's collaboration. Please do help in working to improve it.

[edit] Nightstar (train) article

Just wanted to say well done for writing the Nightstar sleeper train article. I've been meaning to create and add to such an article for ages now and excellent that you've done it! Have slightly modified it a bit, adding wiki links and mention of the Class 92 planned usage etc but again good work. --Achmelvic 23:02, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James Blunt

Nice clean-up of the article; I had it as a to-do, but I think you've done a better job than I would have. I see your point about the "Personal Life" section. The only concern I have is the statement that Camilla Boler was the subject of the song "You're Beautiful," and the lack of a reference for that, particularly as an interview with Boler indicates the subject was Dixie Chassay [1]. I have not found any references indicating that Boler and Blunt were in a relationship prior to the writing of that song, which seems to have occurred prior to Blunt leaving the military. Do you have any published information that would support those statements? Thanks. Risker 14:58, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmm - one of those "fan" articles that just keeps growing, and then needs a lot of pruning. In retrospect and looking around, I agree - Boler is pretty clear the song is dedicated to her on one occasion, but about Chassay. Suggest you rewrite - Rgds, - Trident13 18:44, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Motorcycling Wikiproject

Welcome to the Motorcycling WikiProject. Hopefully you have a good time, start many new articles and can contribute lots to the existing ones as we need that. Cheers ww2censor 21:42, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Manic Street Preachers - Gigoraphy

Hi! I am looking at your various edits around the Manic Street Preachers, and particularly contribution around the Gigography page which you created. The information you are adding is great, but I am not sure it justifies a separate page for each gig - if everyone did the same, we'd have thousands of pages of lists of songs, which wouldn't be a great idea. Could you not list the various gigs/songs on one page as a list, which is split by year/venue? Rgds, - Trident13 14:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes you're probably right, do you think it'd be better to create a separate page for each year, then simple link to that year? I'd like to keep the main page as a normal list just for reference.

You can put it all in one list - and then keep the Gigoraphy page, and just reference out to that single list. If you section the list correctly (ie - by year probably to keep it encyclopedic - would be difficult by gig venue), then the referencing from the main page becomes very easy. If you need a hand, just ask! - Trident13 15:12, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

With wiki, can you link to sections on the same page like with html? Sorry I'm not all that experienced with it. Dead passive

OK, say you want to link to an article called "Apples" with a sub section called "Granny Smith". You insert a link between double square brackets, linking to it with text Apples#Granny Smith - the hach sign does the linking automatically. So, write an article called "Machic Street Preacher Gig Guide", create a series of subsections with each of the gigs, and link to them using the same prefix.

[edit] eezetv

Do you have a reference for the joint venture? Agathoclea 19:05, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Have a look at the developing article on my user page - a couple of references there. Rgds, - Trident13 23:05, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

There is a little bit of name confusion. Kleeneze plc is EHR not Kleeneze ltd. It be interresting to find out whose baby this now is after EHR went bellyup Agathoclea 23:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, agreed - Kleeneze, EHR - always a good sign: NOT! BCCI and Leeson at Barrings were our versions of WorldCom/Enron, but this one is an apparent piece of white collar crime. The big question for me is - why did they think they could trade out post the July profit warning; and secondly, why did people (savers) keep giving them cash? eeZee TV is not my kinda thing, other wise I'd watch - they do give out the odd "we're still trading" message - and the studios/registered office are within JML's HQ premises. I bet there's a share holders agreement which covers this eventuality. PS - love the UserPage photo! Rgds, - Trident13 23:32, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks :-) I spoke to a Farepak agent today, and she said she had had no idea of the troubles. As far as the whole EHR mess is concerned, I know that they obviously became unstuck when Choice went bust[2]. Sofar I have not found out who owned Choice and who the "major purchaser" who did not pay was. If you search for the directors names you will find another company that is a subsidary of Farepak and still in operation. As far as the apparent crime goes - legal issues and moral issues are not always the same. Agathoclea 23:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
