Cool trick: Type ~~~ then hit preview. Next try ~~~~. --mav

Interesting! re: Martin Amis, will update this with more information and books/dates. Also want to add a few other authors... Will Self is missing. -- Greg Godwin


Hi Greg and welcome - great to see somebody writing about experimental music and the Mego bunch. I've been wanting to get cracking on that sort of stuff myself for a good while now, but as I said on my user page, it seemed a bit silly to write about Merzbow when there was no entry on noise music. I guess that now you've written one, I've got no excuse - time to dust off those Otomo Yoshihide records and get typing! Keep up the good work and all that --Camembert


Hi Greg! Glad to see you're making yourself at home. Thanks for merging the two Nintendo GameCube articles; that's exactly what needed to be done. --Stephen Gilbert 12:06 Sep 24, 2002 (UTC)

Re: Zelda games, etc, I know what you mean. Take a look at the history of NiGHTS Into Dreams for some torturous work I had to do. I love fans, but I do wish they'd take a quick glance at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. :) --Stephen Gilbert 15:11 Sep 25, 2002 (UTC)


Greg, all of the music articles entered by 216.229.90.232 appear to be copyrighted material taken from other websites. I notice that you've made some edits to some of them; I'm afraid they'll have to be deleted. --Stephen Gilbert 16:08 Sep 25, 2002 (UTC)

Thats a shame, i'm not checking for copyright violations myself, maybe I should before I waste time editing. Cheers! Greg Godwin 16:24 Sep 25, 2002 (UTC)


Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you can help supply a much-needed balance to articles relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict, which is lopsided toward pro-Israeli POV. I'm pro-Israeli myself, but the "other" point of view needs to be acknowledged.

About the "too many cooks" thing you mentioned in a Summary of one of your edits today: if there is an edit conflict, you can rescue your changes from the window at the bottom of the Edit Conflict page. Most old hands, such as myself, will back off if requested, so if you'd like a ten-minute pause or something just ask, okay? --Ed Poor 14:14 Sep 27, 2002 (UTC)

I tend to be Pro-Palestinian personally, but I feel NPOV is absolutely critical to Wikipedia and that claims from both side must be evenly presented. Didn't realise I could rescue my changes, and I kept re-writing it. Thanks for the advice. Other biased articles must be corrected and both points of view published. I'm surprised it is lopsided towards Pro-Israel and not the other way around actually! - Greg Godwin 14:19 Sep 27, 2002 (UTC)

Thanks for working on Kim Deal, overwriting the copyright violation. You might've noticed I put a notice on Talk:Pixies -- hopefully, some others will help too :) -- Sam


Hi. I can't take the credit for the Will Self picture. I just moved it to the right and down a bit. You're right though! Mintguy 11:42 Dec 11, 2002 (UTC)


You may be right about musique concrete being experimental, though I think that Edgar Varese wrote music with some similarities - and he's probably classed as a classical composer. Perhaps mc should be listed under both? David Martland 09:31 Dec 19, 2002 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Wikipedians in New Zealand

Hi, You might want to consider adding {{User NZ res}} to the top of your user page, which will add you to this category automatically and also add a nice graphic. Onco_p53 08:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
