[edit] First Choice

Hi, your article First Choice was speedy deleted for no apparent reason. I've listed it on votes for undeletion. Kappa 00:06, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Jahsonic 00:28, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hi to Wayland

Hi User:Wayland, I just found out today, that aside from excellent history of subcultures in the 20th century, you also did the history of literature and alternative society. So you could say I am a fan. Could you check upon some edits I have made on Underground culture and transgressive art, please? Thanks in advance.--Jahsonic 11:03, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

thanks, very useful indeed --Jahsonic 08:19, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

I just rewrote the entry for Underground music and I get the feeling that we need to differentiate between underground culture and underground cultural products. These include underground film, cult movies, underground music and a curiously absent article: cult fiction. In short, all products that develop a cult following. Thanks for your input. and if you have any ideas to start the cult fiction article. I guess it would include such authors as (long list omitted)

• Okay, I haven't had much time to do much editing recently but I did have a little bit of time today. I've created Category:Underground and placed quite a few related articles together in the category so they can be navigated easily. I'm thinking these are all to do with "square pegs in round holes" (or round pegs in square holes) or the relationship between odd individuals and an over-normalising society so the category spans various divisions.

[edit] Just saying hello

I've just stumbled upon your userpage. I've been an admirer of the Jahsonic site for some years. Didn't realise you were a wikipedian too. Cnwb 11:31, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Je me joins à ce message pour vous faire part de mes plus vives félicitations à propos de votre site Jahsonic. C'est une mine d'informations sur beaucoup de sujets. Votre page sur l'histoire de la house music est-elle disponible en français ? Je serais très intéressé par cela. Serait-il possible aussi de crée une page sur le DJ français Laurent Garnier, un grand merci pour ça !!!! Alsop

Un autre site intéressant: http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/

Merci pour les commentaires. I will not at this time translate parts of Jahsonic in French. Feel free to translate the house music yourself, but please credit the original authors. --Jahsonic 12:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Critical Theory

I'm a little bit confused as to why you are editing the content of discussions... Voyager640 15:42, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi Voyager, Yes I see what you mean. I meant no harm. I changed cultural theory to culture theory because of the redirect

[edit] Nanostubs

Hi! Sorry to keep blowing off that article on the French director, but an article about a guy like that needs more than just his birthday. It's pretty useless unless you can tell a lot more about this fellow. - Lucky 6.9 07:39, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

You are referring to the Claude Miller article. I disagree with you. Birthday is where every article starts and I provided the link to the French entry as well. Furthermore, Ludivine Sagnier, Lino Ventura, Patrick Dewaere, Lumière and Company and Elsa Lunghini were incoming links to this page, and for those pages my entry provided real info. Build the web, not just the article. See Wikipedia:Build_the_web. I resent that you deleted an article that I had just begun to edit and which was 2 minutes old. Was my article inaccurate, POV? No. --Jahsonic 07:49, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Your article was neither inaccurate nor POV. It was, however, a speedy deletion candidate for lack of content all three times. If you had put half as much effort into the article as you have defending it here, you wouldn't be taking a 24-hour time out for breaking the three-revert rule. I tried being nice and you jumped down my throat. - Lucky 6.9 09:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

• One friendly suggestion: If you were planning on expanding this anyway, you should have done so on a temporary page, such as the sandbox or your talk page. I'll go ahead and lift the block so that you can expand your work. - Lucky 6.9 09:19, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

• OK, you're unblocked. - Lucky 6.9 09:21, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, but the only page I can edit now is this one, was that your intention? --Jahsonic 12:36, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

This was the article how I had written it:

Claude Miller is a French film director who was born February 20, 1942 in Paris. fr:Claude Miller

[edit] Mannerism

Hi! at the risk of being dropped from your list of favorite Wikipedians I restored the statement that Mannerism is "one of the few style designations whose label was self-applied." I'm trying to think of others besides Art Nouveau and all the self-conscious self-designations within Modernism. It seems such an unexceptionable statement. Should we discuss it at Talk:Mannerism? --Wetman 20:53, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

• Wetman, no offense taken, I have added an entry at the Mannerism talk page. You are still one of my two favourite Wikipedians. (and you both recently contributed to an article I started: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Modern_novel&action=history)

[edit] Deconstruction

Sorry for reverting your edit to this page. It's not exactly wise to remove so much content without giving any reason in your edit summary or discussing it on the talk page. Johnleemk | Talk 19:21, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

You are, of course, completely right, sorry for not discussing it, the intro to this article, however, reads as pure gibberish. --Jahsonic 19:23, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sentiment and the Sentimental

Just a note on the change of sentimental novel to sentiment in Augustan literature: I understand the change, as a red link is annoying, but we (those few folks doing 18th century literature) keep waiting for one of us to break down and attempt an article on the sentimental novel. I know that I'm something like the last person on earth who could do a fair job on it, because I'm a satire fan, and the sentimental novel was one of the drippiest, most insipid things on earth, from my point of view. Bishonen knows the material better, but she likes it not much better than I do. I hope the red link, spread out now across 12 articles or so, will spur someone with training in feminist theory and the novel will jump in. (Generally, the feminist literary historians praise the sentimental novel to some degree, or find it interesting, while unreconstructed old historians and Marxist literary people like me think of it as a sign of mass psychosis.) I'm not going to change the link back, as I really have no objection to the change, but I thought I'd explain why that red link is so prevalent in articles I've been the primary author on (and a little bottle of oil (put in so the sentence doesn't end on a preposition)).

[edit] Vanity

Is this page vanity or not: Mikhail Lebedev --GoOdCoNtEnT 08:02, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

not my field of expertise --Jahsonic 08:05, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rémy Belvaux (I)

Has Rémy Belvaux really passed away? Please cite your sources in the article. --Edcolins 13:44, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

ooops, cannot confirm for the moment, have reverted Belvaux's page to present tense, I like this from your page "All in all, Wikipedia is a terrific, addictive, Borgesian project..." and your touching the issue of notability. --Jahsonic 13:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

found source [1] --Jahsonic 14:09, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. --Edcolins 14:37, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rémy Belvaux (II)

Thank you for pointing out that IMDB now contains the date of birth of Rémy Belvaux. It wasn't there a couple of days ago... I didn't check again. How do they know that by the way? Is IMDB a kind of wiki? Cheers. --Edcolins 09:47, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Not a wiki, but edited by humans nevertheless --Jahsonic 10:12, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Anyway, I have added a footnote. Even if the piece of information is wrong, at least it relies on a (relatively) reliable external source (see however IMDB#Criticisms, a bit scary I have to say). --Edcolins 11:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

Hi. I've noticed a redirect pointing to a page in your user space (1001 Books to Read Before You Die). Redirects such as these are discouraged except temporarily after moving a page to user space. The reason for this is that either the redirect is an potential legitimate article title – in which case it should not point to a user page because they are generally considered to be "owned" by that user, not freely editable by everyone as articles should be – or it is an inappropriate article title, in which case it shouldn't exist at all. Redirects to user pages may be speedy deleted at any time under the criteria for speedy deletion, so it will probably disappear at some point. If the user page is intended to be an article, please move it out of user space (requesting deletion of the redirect first if necessary). Thanks – Gurch 11:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I've removed the redirect. I do not know if the page meets the criteria for making a Wikipedia article, but would consider moving if the answer is yes. --Jahsonic 11:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

It might be suitable... looks like it could be useful material, anyway. Almost all the items on the list have links, which is good (lists full of red links don't go down well). It certainly wouldn't be speedy deleted, though obviously I can't promise someone won't send it to AfD. I recommend you see if you can fix it up so the numbering works without having to indent like it is, before you move it, as it would look better without everything being monospaced – Gurch 12:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
