[edit] Wondering about Outlaw Country Music and how women artists are not mentioned

I honestly think that Outlaw Country should include women as well as men. Perhaps I've read that area wrong, but it seems a bit gender biased.--leahtwosaints 13:05, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Hot Band

A tag has been placed on Hot Band requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Jonathan 18:28, 23 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Guthrie article

Thankfully there is more than enough information for the Woody Guthrie article, but thanks for your kind offer. Kmzundel (talk) 22:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Old Grey Whistle Test

Hi there. If this is the Emmylou special from 1977, Bob Harris (radio) would still have been presenting. Watched the YouTube but didn't see him, or anyone else I remember, on it. The only co-presenters were Mark Ellen & David Hepworth but they weren't around until the early 1980s. An actual date for the YouTube clip would be useful as I don't have a full list of OGWT appearances. Also left a coupla comments on Talk:Hot Band. Hope that helps. --Rodhullandemu (please reply here - contribs) 23:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. The reason I included the link was because I have no idea how the clip, not in complete form ended up on You Tube, but it did have some nice quotes. I can't decide whether I am ready to complete a page or.. what? I have given consideration to adding the information about the Hot Band to Emmylou's page instead. Probably smarter just because although the members of the Hot Band were a great talent pool.. Ricky Skaggs and Rodney Crowell alone are good examples.. unlike other backup bands like The Band or The Eagles, the Hot Band did not perform solo.

I do remember the "whisperer" who I saw from the OGWT interviewing Elton John in 1971. Good way to describe him. LOL. As you can see, I've asked for a mentor, but I doubt people want to get involved in such stuff, so I'm just trying not to screw up in the wiki. Thanks for answering. --leahtwosaints 00:02, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

  • I am confused by the descision on the talk page for merging the Hot Band piece with Emmylou's page. I thought it was agreed to merge the two, but the last comment confused me. --leahtwosaints (talk) 11:11, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Klezmatics

I don't see the problem, other than that the photo appears fairly large. It was great to hear them on NPR the other night, doing the Woody Guthrie stuff. If you think something is wrong with the article, feel free to fix it. Badagnani (talk) 01:10, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:LGBT invitation

Hi Leah, I noticed your post on the talk page of the LGBT Studies project. Since you seem to be interested, I'm inviting you to join the project if you like. You can, of course, help without joining, but we'd welcome you! :) Aleta (Sing) 15:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citing references

Hey Leah, is it finding references you need help to do, or putting them in the article correctly? (Or both?) If it's putting them in, you might want to read WP:REF. I'll try to take a look and help out with what I can. If you've got any specific questions, I'll be glad to try to answer them if I can! :) Aleta (Sing) 05:28, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question--- Japanese

There are
  1. {{Notenglish}}
  2. {{Cleanup-translation}}
  3. {{RoughTranslation}}
Which you can use on the page, but I'm afraid I can't think of anyone of the top of my head. Rich Farmbrough, 13:41 30 January 2008 (GMT).

[edit] Sharon Gilchrist

Hi Leah,

I have for now probably been the main contributor to the Sharon Gilchrist article and I see that you are doing a lot of editing there currently. It's good to see someone takes the time to improve it (especially since I am not a native English speaker). Would you mind to look into Uncle Earl as well, I'm sure it could use some brush up.

Thank you very much

--Krautmaster (talk) 22:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Leah,

I'm truly sorry I had never responded to you message. I haven't touched Wikipedia much in recent times and to be honest with you I really had forgotten about your message at some point.

I guess I will use the weekend and do some research on Sharon and Troy and see what I can update.

Update:

I have information on Troy, it's not a lot though. It is raw material, everything with sources, but not edited at all, merely a bunch of copy & paste snippets. Can I send this somehow to you?

--Krautmaster (talk) 22:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes!! Please, send the stuff about Troy. It seems that although I'm always interested in stray articles, and feel a compulsion to edit the flow of the English prose, finding great references are not my best attribute. I'll put the references in, if you want to send me the information. Ask: what is the best place? Here is OK, I guess. You can also reach me by email at: leah2saints@yahoo.com I will be happy to help and learn this wikipedia editing with you! --leahtwosaints (talk) 21:43, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm wondering if you got my e-mail
--Krautmaster (talk) 22:04, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
I don't see it. I delete everything in the Bulk area, so it might have gone that way. Check your talk page, OK? I'm not sure I can help much right now. I just found the Dixie Chicks page has been Plagiarized for the past two years. OH GAWD! --leahtwosaints (talk) 10:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Response

I have left you a response on the Blue Peter Badge article. Joshuarooney2008 (talk) 16:31, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Lowell George 1976 with slide.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Lowell George 1976 with slide.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 04:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I made a mistake trying to upload the photo. What must be done? --leahtwosaints (talk) 04:16, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey Leah, that was a bot that posted that message. I don't think a human will be watching your page for questions. I've never uploaded an image, so I can't help you with it. I suggest you repost your question at the media copyright questions page as suggested in the bot's message. Aleta Sing 13:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dixie Chicks changes

In reply to the note you left on my talk page asking two questions: how to make a separate page for a subject's political controversy, and where to find historical Dixie Chicks info. On the first, I have no idea -- you've spent more time on Wikipedia than I have in the past few months. However, I would suggest leaving the info about the political controversy in the main article, since the controversy redefined the group entirely. That's why I call this era "Dixie Chicks v3.0" on my site. As far as historical info (Dixie Chicks v1.0), that's what my site is about, so please feel free to use it as a reference as much as you would like. I only have a small "pictures" section, though, and I don't think most of the images would work under Wikipedia's strict copyright rules. --Robertb-dc (talk) 15:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your request on my page

Hi Leah,

I sent the mail again to the other address. Regarding the subject of adoption I had left you a message on my page a while ago

Take care

[edit] Re adoption/mentoring

Hey there, got your message earlier, but was unable to reply until now. I would be more than happy to help you out/assist you with anything Wikipedia related. If you wish to make it a formal adoption, just let me know. If not, then you are more than welcome to bug the heck out of me with questions : ) Wisdom89 (T / C) 05:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello again! What I'll do is set up a subpage on my userpage for adoption. There you and I can get acquainted and see what your goals are for Wikipedia. Sorry it took me a day or two to respond, I've been a little busy, but that should change this week, don't worry. I'll let you know when the page is ready. In the meantime, if you have any other questions, you may drop them on my talk page. I'll probably answer them there. I'm leaving you this message here just in case you didn't have my talk page watchlisted. Cheers matey. Wisdom89 (T / C) 00:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UMCP Motto

According to the University of Maryland Archives pages, http://www.lib.umd.edu/univarchives/macmil/letm.html , the State motto *is* the university motto. I marked your changes as good faith, and reverted with the additional reference.Naraht (talk) 15:27, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
