Daft Punk

Regarding your recent edits to the article, I noticed you shortened "Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo" as "Guy-Manuel". Keep in mind that the surname should always be used in shortening, rather than the given name. Just64helpin 10:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

A number of sources I've seen do use the proper surname. The key is to be consistant -- we can't use a given name for one person and a surname for another. I also noticed that the Daft Punk quote is attributed to the book, when the actual source predates the publishing date. Anyways, I'm currently adding information on "Musique" to Musique Vol. 1 1993-2005 based on a source I can verify. Please do not edit the article while I work on it. It will cause an edit conflict. Just64helpin 01:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I'm finished in the Musique Vol.1 article. I have nothing against the book, but I still haven't gotten access to it, so I can't personally verify. It also seems redundant to use the book as reference when the DMA interview (containing the exact quote) is already referenced in the Homework article. I suppose the "Musique" info could be reiterated in "Recording history" section of Homework. Just64helpin 01:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
To clarify, the "Structure" section is specifically about how the album is structured. Since "Musique" isn't on the album, the song's background doesn't really belong in "Structure". It also clashes against the existing prose in "Structure" since "Da Funk" is first introduced (and wikilinked) in the paragraph below it. I've compromised by adding the info to the "Recording history" section, as I previously suggested. BTW, I noticed you removed the reference for the "recorded in Daft House" bit. Surely the liner notes are the most reliable source for this information. Just64helpin 13:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for improperly using the given name, again. Just64helpin 21:28, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

How's life Doug?

Hey man, it's Jake! Saw you edited the GCH article. Did you know that the official GC page still links to the WP article? How's FG? - J - Bladeswin | Talk to me | 21:23, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I hear you about the tough classes. I'm taking some Information Science and Systems classes, and still working on my website floridaplayers.org

What's your major? - J - Bladeswin | Talk to me | 18:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ds MarioParty logo01.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ds MarioParty logo01.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:00, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

doug

Some people, perhaps most, would like to know that the album is leaked. With that said, I ask that you please let teh statement be until the album is officially released. I will not ask of this again. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ixlikextoxdansex (talk • contribs) 22:38, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


It's still a couple of months before the album comes out. If youwant to keep deleting the statement, I will keep putting it back up. We can keep playing this little game if you want, but I'm letting you know that it will not stay deleted. I stress that you stop wasting your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ixlikextoxdansex (talk • contribs) 22:46, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Information is information, whether people want it or not, you CANNOT make that decision for them. My intent for putting that statement up was NOT to vandalize, but simply give out information. And I am aware that you know this just as much as I do. Now, stop with your childish blackmail and threats, I will pursue this as long as I have to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ixlikextoxdansex (talk • contribs) 22:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Invitation to WikiProject recruitment for WikiProjects

Douglasr007,

Would you be interested in trying to make your (proposed) WikiProject becoming a succes by actively involving yourself in a recruitment agency aimed at establishing an active base of participants for a WikiProject?--Daanschr 11:31, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Thomas Bangalter

I noticed that you added a bit about Bangalter not making a profit on Gym Tonic. You also added information on the Spacedust release. There doesn't appear to be any source for this in the article, so I was wondering where this information came from. Just64helpin 11:52, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

I noticed you added the release date of October 15 for the live version of the single. Would you mind citing a source for this? Just64helpin 23:32, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove the list we have taken a poll and agreed to keep it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cartman0052007 (talk • contribs) 01:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

OK so you're willing to participate in polls but when they do not go your way, you delete the list anyway? And yes, the list does confine to the standards of Wikipedia:Lists So no it does not "fail." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cartman0052007 (talk • contribs) 02:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Daft Punk samples

Hi, just letting you know that someone's raising the question of whether samples uncredited in the liner notes should be added to the table at the Discovery article. The discussion is at Talk:Discovery (Daft Punk album). Just64helpin 18:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Discovery

The huge problem with the graph is the lack of context. The graph does not immediately clarify what is or is not mentioned the liner notes. Because of this, users constantly add unsourced content there, which is a problem. I still don't have access to the book, so I personally couldn't convert the "Voyager" bit into prose. My hope is to detail how the samples were used, but I haven't enough reference material for that at the moment. Just64helpin (talk) 22:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

WPTC Active Members

The Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones has changed greatly since it was first started, and according to our main page we now have 87 members. However, we only have a small group of members that are still active, and as such, I am sending this out to all users on the participants list. If you are still active, please sign your name here. If you do not wish to be part of the project any more, or if you do not answer to this, you will be placed on an inactive users list after a period of two weeks. If you wish to rejoin after you are put on the inactive users list, you are welcome to rejoin. Cheers. --Hurricanehink (talk) 18:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Daft Punk (GA)

I think the To-do list should be addressed in some level before the article is nominated. I can't be bothered to keep the article in shape and rework it for GA, however. "Homework" is more of a special case: It was (and is) hardly ever edited by other users. On a related note, please see my recent comment on Talk:Discovery (Daft Punk album) regarding your wording change. Just64helpin (talk) 13:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #12

Number 12, January 10, 2008

The Hurricane Herald

This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject and global tropical cyclone activity. If you wish to change how you receive this newsletter, or no longer wish to receive it, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list. This edition of the newsletter, after an extended hiatus, covers December 2007 and the first ten days of January 2008.

Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve monitoring of the WikiProject's articles.

Storm of the month

Tropical Storm Olga

Tropical Storm Olga was a rare Atlantic December tropical cyclone. The fifteenth named storm of the season, it developed near Puerto Rico on December 11, and quickly struck the Dominican Republic. There, it brought heavy rainfall and severe damage, and caused more than 40 deaths. Casualties were also reported in Puerto Rico and Haiti. The storm greatly weakened as it crossed Hispaniola, degenerating into a remnant low pressure area in the Caribbean Sea on December 13. The remnants of Olga passed near the Yucatán Peninsula before turning northward and bringing rainfall to Florida.

Other tropical cyclone activity

Member of the month

Cyclone barnstar

The December member of the month is Mitchazenia. Mitchazenia has been a project member since 2006. He has created several tropical cyclone related articles, including the good article Subtropical Storm One (1982). Mitchazenia significantly contributed to 1983 Atlantic hurricane season, which is currently a featured article candidate.

Categories and more The project has gone under somewhat of a revamping. We have a new, more realistic goal. The members list has been dropped from 89 to 34. This newsletter is to inform users of a change in policy with categories. Previously, an Atlantic and Pacific storm article would have both Category:Atlantic hurricanes and Category:Category 3 tropical cyclones. However, the two were combined, resulting in Category:Category 3 Atlantic hurricanes. The same is done with Pacific hurricanes. Tropical storm articles are dealt with either Category:Eastern Pacific tropical storms or Category:Atlantic tropical storms.

Storm of the month

Cyclone Gene

Cyclone Gene formed on January 26 over the open south Pacific Ocean. It drifted southward, and strengthened into Tropical Storm Gene on January 28 as it moved across the Fijian archipelago. There, it brought heavy rainfall, which caused the worst flooding in several years. Half of the country was left without power, and the cyclone killed seven people in Fiji. The storm turned southwestward, developing a cloud-filled eye and quickly strengthening by the end of the month.

Other tropical cyclone activity

  • One tropical cyclone formed in the Western North Pacific Ocean west of The Philippines, which was analyzed by Japan Meteorological Agency as a depression; it tracked southwestward and did not significantly affect any land areas.
  • In addition to Cyclone Gene, Tropical Storm Elisa and Cyclone Fuma occurred in the South Pacific ocean during the month, along with three tropical depressions.
  • The only tropical cyclone in Australian region during the month was Tropical Cyclone Helen, which struck Australia.
  • Four tropical cyclones, three of which named, existed in the Southwest Indian Ocean during the month. The most notable was Cyclone Fame, which caused twelve deaths after striking Madagascar.

Member of the month

Cyclone barnstar

The January member of the month is Ajm81. A tropical cyclone editor since he first joined in October 2005, Ajm81 plays a vital role in the project. Unlike other editors, who mainly edit articles, Ajm81 maintains and updates the track maps across the project. We thank Ajm81 for his timely contributions, and may he have some well-deserved downtime after the last tropical cyclone report is released.

Wikiwork and 1000 articles In January 2008, the WikiProject began using a system called Wikiwork, or ω. It weighs the overall quality of the project's articles, and a lower number means a greater total quality. The weighed ω, as used above, is a relative number that can be used to compare groups of this article. As of this publication, the relative ω of the project is 3.404, corresponding to between Start and B class. However, when limiting it solely to storm articles, the number drops to 2.98, which is slightly better than B class. During the month, a new statistics page was created.

Additionally, during the month, Mitchazenia pointed out that we received our 1,000th article with the creation of Cyclone Elita.
