[edit] Welcome

Hello Bonalaw, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your contributions so far, especially the excellent article on BBC Choice.

I'm not sure you need them, but you might find these links helpful in editing pages or creating new ones: How to edit a page, Tutorial, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should probably read our policies at some point too.

But don't feel you have to read every policy document before you do anything. Dive in, be bold in editing, and if you do anything wrong, someone will be quick to correct it and let you know (hopefully, politely!)

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! -- ALargeElk | Talk 10:29, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Some more tips: Check out the Wikipedia:Manual of style. Write in complete sentences. To sign a comment in a talk page, just put four tildes, ~~~~, and it is automatically converted to your user name and the date. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 07:20, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Britney

Hi, Bonalaw.

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Thanks for expanding the Britney Spears trivia section. I'm so used to reverting vandalism on that page, that it was a surprise and a delight to find that someone had actually added something polished and informative!

[edit] Best selling singles by year

Hi! Just wrote an article on UK Best-selling singles by year, and then noticed you already have a link to it on your user page. Lucky I named it the same as you! Hope you don't mind I seem to have pinched a page you were going to do -- perhaps you can add to it if you know the ones before 1970... Smb1001 16:21, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] List of Number 1 Hits (UK)

Hello. Nice work on the List of Number 1 Hits (UK)! I'm interested to know what your source is. I have a complete list of all UK chart singles 1952-2002, but unfortunately it only gives the date each single entered the chart, and hence not the date a single reached number one. I'd be glad to fill in a few of the missing years if I had this information. --Auximines 10:14, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the information! I'll be happy to fill in at least 1978-1981 (my era!), but understand if you'd rather do it yourself, as it appears to be "your" project - let me know. --Auximines 10:42, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I've done 1977-1981. Hopefully I'll get round to writing short articles for some of the broken links. I've also done the remaining years, but since I'm not too familiar with anything after about 1980, I can't really proof-read it, so I leave that task to you. They're at User:Auximines/1983-1987, User:Auximines/1989-1991 and User:Auximines/1993-2003 - ready for you to check and then paste into the main article. --Auximines 14:35, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your corrections !

Thank you for having corrected my many mistakes in Yslaire. Unfortunately, English is not my mother tongue, but I feel that if I don't give my contribution to Franco-Belgian comics here, no one will make it. I'm looking for someone to check my English in every article. Could you please check the other articles I've typed ? Here they are :

Thanks !! Helldjinn 13:30, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Hugh Laurie's "Mystery"

I want to keep the songs in List of songs that use the same rhyme throughout ordered by rhyme, yet I don't know what the recurring rhyme ending in Hugh Laurie's "Mystery" is. I've googled and googled for it, but I can't find references to a song by this name by Hugh Laurie anywhere. I was thrilled to have an addition to my list, but no one else on the Net seems to care enough about the song to post the lyrics!

[I don't know where to post this, but you can find the lyrics to "Mystery" here http://www.answers.com/topic/mystery-song ]

Oh, by the way, in my edit I'm going to add "Dancing in the Moonlight" by King Harvest. I can't believe no one thought of that song until now! Wiwaxia

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Jewish categories

Hi I noted your input in the Jewish lists so hopefully this will interest you. I started making a few new categories: Category:Jews in music, Category:Jews in science, and Category:Jews in the visual arts, however User:Lulu_of_the_Lotus-Eaters has nominated all these for renaming due to his aversion to the phrase "Jews in". The reason I created the Jews in music category was because I knew Category:Jewish musicians and Category:Jewish music existed but mainly covered yiddish/religious music. I have persuaded Lulu to change the name of the current category to Jewish classical musicians (as this basically covers the people I had added to it) but I still feel a category such as Category:Jews in western music needs to be the parent category of all classical, pop, jazz, rock, musical sub categories to avoid confusion with yiddish music, Klezmer etc. I would appreciate your views on this here Talk:List_of_Jews#Jewish_categories Arnie587 23:32, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] BBC One COW ident

Hi Bonalaw. Hope you don't mind but I've listed an image you uploaded last year Image:Bbc1cow.jpg for deletion. It's just that I uploaded Image:BBC-one-1985.jpg, the same image and decided that since it had a slightly more decriptive filename (only just ;) ) that it should replace your version. Sorry about that. Wikiwoohoo 18:14, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lynn Bowles

Nice work by you on the Lynn Bowles article. It's nice to see how an article can mushroom from nothing to a genuine article in 15 minutes! Thuresson 12:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Polygamy

Re: Your assertion on the talk page for St. Ives riddle: Polygamy is permitted in the UK, however the marriages must have been made (legally) in another country. Same goes for underage marriage. 131.111.202.113 23:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Serious Amazon

Thanks for the great lead on the serious jungle article. I would like to see a little more about the other expeditions in separate articles, but this is a good start. Could you include Angelica Bell (did I spell that right?). She narrated the first series, perhaps a later one as well before Fearne came in. Also, I'm wrecking my brain to find the article on the Ashwan tribe which featured in Serious Amazon, but apparently I'm misspelling it. Do you know where I can find the Wikipedia article about them? - Mgm|(talk) 08:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ...He's a Waterfall

[1] - very, very good point! I'm surpised anyone had the gall to put that there!--Crestville 12:18, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signing AfD nominations and comments

Wikipedia:Etiquette asks contributors to sign their contributions on article Talk pages, etc. You can take this to mean that articles in places other than the articlespace should be attributed in order to demonstrate good etiquette.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  13:34, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sun Zoom Spark

I see no references here. The style is awesome, but there needs to be some sort of external source to satisfy WP:N. If you would be so kind as to reference it, I won't have to nominate it for deletion. Nothing personal, just the rules. Callix
