I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia 1.0 Review Team

Hi Doc, Thanks for signing up for the review team. We just released our test CD, which received a surprising amount of press coverage - this indicates that there is a lot of interest in what we're doing. (It's also why it took us a while to contact you) Please help to make the next release even better! Let me know what you're interested in, or if you want some guidance. If you prefer, just take a look at the FAQ page and get started.

I also see that you're interested in things to improve Wikipedia's reputation. Would you care to elaborate on my talk page? Thanks! Walkerma 03:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ambiguous link

Your recent edit to List of 2000s one-hit wonders in the United States included one or more links to the page Blur, which is a disambiguation page. This type of page is intended to direct users to more specific topics. Ordinarily we try to avoid creating links to disambiguation pages, since it is preferable to link directly to the specific topic relevant to the context. You can help Wikipedia by revising the links you added to List of 2000s one-hit wonders in the United States to refer directly to the most relevant topic. (This message was generated by an automatic process; if you believe it to be in error, please accept our apologies and report the error to help us improve this feature.) Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Russ (talk) 13:01, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah. I know. My bad. Doc Strange 13:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brianstorm

Hi,

I noticed that you added two chart positions to this page, stating that "Brianstorm" reached #56 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and #114 on the Hot 100. I believe that the Modern Rock Tracks chart only contains 40 positions and that the Hot 100 only contains 100 positions (unless you count "bubbling under"). Could you explain what the positions that you added mean or indicate the source of the information? Thanks,

Acegikmo1 18:13, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


The #56 is from Mediabase, and i AM counting Bubbling Under, read the footnote, plz! Doc Strange 12:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. Perhaps we could specify Mediabase Alternative and Bubbling Under. What do you think? I think the footnote you're talking about is the one here, could we use the same kind of footnote on the "Brianstorm" page?
Thanks,
Acegikmo1 21:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Yeah. It's my footnote. Go ahead. Doc Strange 12:24, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] La secchia rapita

Thank you for your recent contributions to la secchia rapita. Your changes, however, consisted of inserting a section of text that had been specifically excluded from the article due to lack of sourcing. Do you have a reliable source you can cite that this conflict actually happened, or even better, that the details mentioned in the paragraph you added are accurate? Thanks!

I saw your edit on that article and just wanted to say thanks :-) Keep up the good work! - Ta bu shi da yu 07:49, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Master Shake

Those two will also be put up for deletion once that one is over. They weren't put together to avoid votes that had little to do with the topic at hand. If you feel that it should be kept, can you please revise your vote to speak about the article's own merits? TTN (talk) 13:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I can't realistically see the Master Shake one ending in anything worse than a "No Consensus," so it would be unnecessary to nominate Frylock or Meatwad. Best, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 19:31, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Moros Eros

I have nominated Moros Eros, an article you created, for deletion. Contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated. However, I do not feel that Moros Eros satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and I have explain why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the open discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Moros Eros and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Moros Eros during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Guy (Help!) 18:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Advanced Theory

An article that you have been involved in editing, Advanced Theory, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Advanced Theory. Thank you. TheRingess (talk) 02:52, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of hits around the world

Regarding your comment that you made at AfD, about the vandalism to that section, feel free to repair this problem, repeatedly, if necessary. Bring it up at the article's talk page, for reinforcement of the message. For additional help, A good place to ask might be Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music. Hopefully, more people will join you. -Freekee (talk) 19:54, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thomas Tyra

Hi. Work has gone into the article to make it more encyclopedic. If you agree, please update your afd accordingly. thanks, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 21:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Western School of Health and Business Careers - Monroeville

Hi, I wonder if you would take another look at Western School of Health and Business Careers, please? I have rewritten it so it is now an article on the whole college, not just one campus, cleaned out the promotional content and added sources. TerriersFan (talk) 20:43, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Michelle Leonard

Hi. You recently argued for the deletion of Michelle Leonard on the grounds that it is largely WP:BOLLOCKS. Since then, the page has been considerably re-written. Nearly everything in the original article checked out—there was little that was bollocks at all! So I thought you might want to re-consider your position in the deletion discussion.

[edit] Articles for deletion/List of claims made by Zeitgeist, the Movie

  • I just created this page a week ago Friday (Jan 25) and so far I have been the only editor of this page, but I would like to avoid having it deleted in the hope that other editors will collaborate on it with me.
  • I want to let you know that many things have changed regarding this article since you voted to have it deleted.
  • I have fully read and responded to every Wikipedia guideline that I have been referred to,
  • I have modified my plans for the article and changed the way I view the subject in order to fit within those guidelines,
  • I have explained my position and my goals in detail on the AfD for the page,
  • and I have completely blanked the talk page of the article since most of the concerns about guidelines involved the talk page and not the actual article.
  • I am sure you will find that I have made a great effort to contribute to the usefulness and quality of Wikipedia, and that my actions are motivated by a desire to improve Wikipedia and to keep Wikipedia neutral.
  • I believe that the only guidelines my article can still be accused of violating are those concerning "notability" and "lists of random facts" and being that this is such a young article, I urge you to revisit the article, the AfD for the article, as well as the article's talk page, and make sure that you still feel that the article needs to be deleted right now.
  • Thank-you for your time, and I appreciate your efforts in keeping Wikipedia clutter-free!
Sincerely,
VegKilla (talk) 00:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Doc Strange. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. βcommand 17:23, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Patrick Alexander (poet)

I did not remove any speedy deletion notices from pages I have created myself. 203.194.7.100 (talk) 13:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Noooo. Hangons are ONLY for when contesting a speedy deletion of a page I created myself.
The article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion (because it has references that prove notabilty), and I intend to fix it further. Therefore I was allowed to remove the speedy deletion notice.
I win. 203.194.7.100 (talk) 14:00, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
It's a fair cop. Doc Strange (talk) 15:12, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Made up farce? Can you please not insult my intelligence (and yours) and do your research before labelling something as a made up farce. Thanks. Englishrose (talk) 19:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rhode Island Mall

Regarding this AfD, I'm just dropping you a note to let you know that I have rewritten the article on Rhode Island Mall and have addressed notability concerns. I ask that you please reconsider your !vote in the discussion. Thank you. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 20:56, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Strokes discography

Could you tell me your source of information for this edit you made on 20 May 2007? The Billboard website agrees with the previous entry. Thank you, indopug (talk) 05:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, Billboard agrees with me: Here [2] and [3]. This shows that "Juicebox" by The Strokes hit #98 on the Billboard Hot 100. You see, "Juicebox" hit #65 on the Billboard Pop 100, which is a different chart from the Billboard Hot 100. When people talk about the "US Charts", they're talking about the Hot 100, not the Pop 100. In fact Billboard's own Artist chart page shows no entry on the Hot 100 for Juicebox, despite All Music Guide's insistence that it does Doc StrangeMailbox Orbitting Black HoleStrange Frequencies 07:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Agreed, I've significantly reworked the article; and I've put #65 under Pop 100. Since Billboard itself doesn't list it, I'm not listing the Billboard Hot 100 entry. indopug (talk) 11:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sexuality and Space

Hey Doc, I've made a large revision to the Sexuality and Space article. It's very much not the article it was when it hit AfD and I'd like you to take a look at it and see if you feel differently about it now.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 02:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] gayelle

Gayelle (lesbian), I have added many new RS to the article and therefore I would like you to reconsider your vote that was based on a previous version that did not take your WP:NEO or WP:N and WP:RS and WP:V concerns into account.NewAtThis (talk) 04:01, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Nope, this is still a WP:NEO and you have still not produced the alleged CBS News article to prove that source's existence. Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 13:15, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
This user turned out to be a sockpuppet and the page was speedy deleted after a discussion here. By the end of the discussion, the WP:NEO, WP:N, WP:RS and WP:V violations were not fixed. Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 14:43, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nyehhh... What's up, Doc?

(Insert carrot munching here.) Seeing as you're a fan of The Doc, maybe you could help a tad with Cloak of Levitation, an article I recently rewrote. I pieced the Cloak's history together from memory, and with what I had from the references. Don't know how accurate it is. Thanks, Wakanda's Black Panther!♠/♦ 02:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
