[edit] Verlaines

Welcome from me, too. It's good to see someone adding some info to some NZ music pages. If, as your name and editing suggest, you're a fellow kiwi, you might like to check out the Wikipedia:New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board, too. Grutness...wha? 02:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Collateral damage from block

<<unblock|The IP address belongs to a public library and I would like to know exactly what I "supposedly" vandalised?!?!>>

Your account's block log has no entries, which leads me to believe you're blocked by IP (more than likely a shared IP involving multiple users, probably some good and some bad). I'll need to know the IP address in question before I can look into this. If you're autoblocked, I need the original blockee's username. Luna Santin 04:04, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

<<unblock|I'm not to sure if I'm doing this right but here is the IP address. 210.55.194.9. Umm and I don't know what autoblocked is, sorry.>>

<<unblock-auto|1=210.55.194.9|2=Vandalism>> Sorry if I'm doing this all wrong. The person that blocked the IP address is User:Jossi. Thank you. Also is there some way of letting people know that this IP address, 210.55.194.9 and quite a few others (all have access to the wikipedia) belong to the Auckland City Public Library in New Zealand?

That's better. :) Now that I can look into this a little more, the block was on the IP for vandalism, for one hour. It's also expired by this time, so unfortunately there's not much more for me to do, but you should be able to edit -- throw down another template if you're still having any problems.

[edit] Re:Hello Sailor

And hello ducky to you :) I can't see anything wrong with that part of the article, and I expanded it a little by adding some chart positions as recorded in "Stranded in paradise". I agree with the idea of keeping the individual musician articles separate, BTW, especially those for Brazier and McArthney. Do I take it from your username that you're connected with the recording industry? I'm distantly connected to it myself (I'm an APRA member and used to perform regularly). Grutness...wha? 05:06, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I've had a quiet word with User:Palfrey. Best I can suggest as far as making notability clear is noting any that have made it into the NZ charts. unfortunately I work from my early-edition "Stranded in paradise" for that, which only goes up to 1988 - if you have more recent chart information, adding it in would help! Ray Of Shine at least should have got into the charts. Grutness...wha? 04:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] HLAH

Hi, can you please point me to the guidelines that you are stating, in your revert. Chopper Dave 19:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Whirimakoblack.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Whirimakoblack.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:

[edit] Category:New Zealand Māori

Hi - I've just nominated this for deletion at WP:CFD (or more correctly, to merge and rename it with the long-standing Category:Māori people). For a move affecting such a large number of New Zealand articles, it would have been useful if you could have proposed this change at several of the New Zealand-related project pages rather than just going ahead and moving it! The old name may have been slightly ambiguous (in that it didn't specify that the people were New Zealand-born or New Zealand citizens) but the new name is potentially worse, since it makes no mention of the fact that it is for people at all - it could just as easily contain articles like Kapa haka or Marae. At CFD I've suggested a compromise - Category:New Zealand Māori people - which should remove both ambiguities. Being bold is good, but - as WP:BOLD points out - it works better for articles than for other types of pages like templates and categories! Grutness...wha? 05:47, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry if I came across a bit too officious. Yesterday was just a bit too tough one way an another. Editing at 6 a.m.? You do live here! Grutness...wha? 22:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Not too bad here today (cool but sunny), but it's generally doing it's typical spring weather thing (alternating days of cold winter and hot summer). Weird situation the other day of 26 degrees and icebergs visible off the coast. Only in New Zealand :) Grutness...wha? 01:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Compliment

Kudos on your great edits to Vision (Golden Age) and Blonde Phantom! Happy Wiki-ing -- Tenebrae 01:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greetings, nonfictional character!

I just saw your comment to Chris Griswold about fixing the "Fictional character history" headings. If you want help checking characters methodically, you might try List of male superheroes, List of superheroines, or. I worked my way through the first half of List of male superheroes, although I know that people who don't get the point have reverted some of those edits. Doczilla 09:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of S.H.I.E.L.D. members

Hey I just wanted to say thanks for adding all that info to the List of S.H.I.E.L.D. members. I think you made the page almost twice as big. Anyway there are just a few small problems(for lack of a better word) on what you did.

  1. The list you made for former members. The thing is with all the craziness that happens in the Marvel Universe, such as switching sides and dieing and coming back to life. We really cant tell who is a former member and who isn't.
  1. What you have added in the notes sections. The notes are supposed to be just a small explanation of who the character this, not there entire back story. If you want to add the back story to a character that you should most likely make a new article for him/her.

Again these aren't really big things, just some minor stuff for later on. Thanks again. Phoenix741 04:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, RIANZ. You do good work, and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind trimming some of the long biographical backgrounds appearing in this chart's "Notes" section. By the nature of it being a chart, the text in it needs to be succinct and at-a-glance. If somebody deserves a full bio, then they deserve their own article; most of these are infrequently seen supporting players. I've trimmed some, but it takes a lot of work to do so. It'd be great if you could pitch in. Thanks --Tenebrae 00:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two reverts

Hi you recently reverted two of my edits (on Black Bolt and Black Tom Cassidy) without any explaination. I've reverted them back, but I'm willing to listen if you want to tell me why you reverted them in the first place. Stephen Day 19:30, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I have no problem with somebody having a preference, but in this case its a little more than that to me. Since people with no experience dealiing with the background source materials will be reading these articles, it makes sense to make things as clear as possible.
To use an example; Cyclops (Scott Summers) is clear to most, but Cyclops (real name Scott Summers) should be clear to all with no chance of confusion. That thought is why I change things the way I do.
Hey, if people want to get together and decide I shouldn't be doing this, I'll stop. It not like this is a life or death situation for me. In the end though, I don't think my reasoning is wrong :-) Stephen Day 00:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure how to proceed. You're correct in saying we're both right in our own way. I've posted a message on the comicproject talk page asking for help and hopefully we can come to a conclusion and move on. :-) Stephen Day 03:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Well that wasn't any help. :-P

Do you have any ideas about how to make a compromise? I'm not sure I have any. Stephen Day 03:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Here's an idea. For a short while, I was editing articles that started as Cyclops (Scott Summers) to Cyclops (Scott Summers). Its not as clear as I would like, but I can live with it. Would that be exceptable from your stand point? Stephen Day 22:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I edit comic articles from across the board; Marvel, DC, independant, modern and historical. :-)

I don't mind you editing the articles I've already done as long as you change them to Cyclops (Scott Summers) and not to Cyclops (Scott Summers), the latter still drives me insane when I see it. :-) Stephen Day 23:02, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Damian Tryp

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Damian Tryp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. --PsyphicsΨΦ 20:58, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, since you're the other major editor of this article, could you discuss why this shouldn't be deleated. I don't really see why this issue came up with this user. (RossF18 02:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Steppin' Razor (comics)

Hi I just edited this article in a way that deleted most of what you added. I'm sorry, but the problem is neither version was around long enough, in my opinion, to justify having the article focused upon either one. Stephen Day 22:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
