User talk:Golden Pony Boy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, Golden Pony Boy, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Dogru144 talk contribs

[edit] Music of Israel

Thank you for your excellent contributions in the area of Israeli pop and rock - an area where I am personally weak.

My only contention with your edits is your references to the sexual preferences of the Israeli artists. It is Wikipedia policy to include references to a person's sexual preferences only if it is germaine to the subject, and it must be documented. In the case of Dana International, it is certainly relevant, as she herself uses it as a marketing tool. However, I don't believe it is relevant in the case of Ivri Lider. Unless you can show that his homosexuality somehow influences his music, and you can show a reference, I think you'd better take it out. --Ravpapa (talk) 04:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


Hello Ravpapa. Thank you so much for the lovely message! I included the link to Ivri Lider's wikipedia page through his name in the "Israeli Music" page! And here's the actual Ivri Lider page where you can learn more about him and his sexual orientation better! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivri_Lider

I'm also sending you a link to his latest and first song in English, called "Jesse", so you can see for yourself that he's only talking about gay love in his music... this is the link to the video in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7oGUIsNqSA

Ivri Lider is not only extremely open about his sexuality, he also sings his songs mostly for the male form in Hebrew, even when not talking about love, almost every single song he ever wrote has some kind of homosexual refernces! His sexuality never been an issue with Israelis who keep cherishing him as one of Israel's favourite pop star, so i hope it won't be an issue also here in wikipedia... :-) Thanks for your concern, and i hope i helped you feel much better about this issue! - Golden Pony Boy (talk) 09:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

As you probably noticed, I did some editing on your section, to reflect the information you gave here in your response. However, the article is getting repetitive. Look at my comment on the article talk page, and see what you think. --Ravpapa (talk) 16:27, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
