[edit] Cleanup Taskforce
I hope you don't mind, but I was bold and did some setup on your desk. Also, you have been assigned the article English Heritage. Please look at the article and either accept or let me know and I'll reassign it. Thank you. RJFJR 04:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, you already knew you had that because you assigned it. And I was at a wrong subpage which was why it didn't seem to be setup (I redirected that page to your real desk, again - I hope you don't mind.) RJFJR 05:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

- Since you asigned it to yourself, I'll assume you accept the article English Heritage. Thank you.RJFJR 02:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

- I finally got the taskforce subpage for No Exit (Blondie album) working (the comments were on an incorrectly named page and the correctly named page was blank). Since you are working on that article would you also like to work on the Blondie (band) article? (Which I notice you submitted to the taskforce and which has been assigned though the editor it was assigned to hasn't gotten to it yet). RJFJR 03:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No Exit (Blondie album)
This article is amateurish. It is badly written, is very confusing - at times it makes no sense at all - and needs a complete overhaul. Paul75 23:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the problem is off hand. Note, however, that to a degree the names are case sensitive. If you use the copy and paste technique for grabbing article names it should take care of spelling and capitalization. Does that help? RJFJR 20:55, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hung Up
I just wanted to warn you about what may happen when you attempt to clean up this article. I gave it a go a few months ago, but a circle of Madonna fans reacted negatively to any attempts to reduce the amount of info; as can be seen on Talk:Hung Up, they reverted me without any discussion and became rather uncivil, so I just gave up on it. That said, I know I would appreciate any attempts to cut down this bloated-beyond-belief article. Extraordinary Machine 23:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Madonna (entertainer)
I have unprotected the Madonna article. - Mark 03:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blondie
Thanks for your comments about the Blondie article. I hope to do some more with it when I have some more time. Rossrs 15:40, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gus Black
A tag has been placed on Gus Black, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Gus Black is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Gus Black. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}}
to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. Irongargoyle 02:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup Taskforce
How are the projects on your desk going? RJFJR 15:46, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm just checking in to see how things are going with the articles on your desk. I've got an article on British hip hop if you are interested. RJFJR 22:23, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tags
Cleanup taskforce tags are usually put on the talk page of an article. Please use edit summaries. RJFJR 23:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Video 040b.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Video 040b.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Chard, Somerset
Would you like to tell me why you reverted my edits please? It looked fine to me? FYI Template:Infobox England place with map redirects to Template:Infobox England place. The use of co-ordinates is a newer addition to the template than MapX and MapY. IMHO: 1. It is a better contrasting map. 2. It is easier for users to edit than MapX MapY. 3. The use of co-ordinates is useful as it allows the article to link into other applications such as Google Earth. Pit-yacker 00:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Agnes-strickland-1-sized.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Agnes-strickland-1-sized.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] RE Kat of Aragon
As per your request I've left my comments on the talk page. Thanks for notifying me. Walton monarchist89 10:50, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image tagging for Image:Mw06106.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mw06106.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Hi Paul, I edited the Nelly Furtado article, per your cleanup request. Is it looking any better now? --Otheus 21:48, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
