[edit] Welcome

Hello Northernhenge, welcome to Wikipedia, I hope you like the place and stay around. Thank you for your contribution on Ninekirks. You may have noticed that I deleted an earlier version of the article. This was done because you created an outline of headings, but no actual content. Now that you have recreated the article with content under the headings, it looks to be a very nice addition to the project. You might want to consider creating a sandbox as a subpage so that you can work up articles until they are ready and then create the article. This would prevent future deletions of articles in an incomplete state. Once again , Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for contributions. Dsmdgold (talk) 05:15, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Database entry

Hi there. I'm responding to what you wrote on my user page about the database entry: that it's too much about success in the marketplace. Thanks. I agree! There's also a very unencyclopedic section about database brands. There's some discussion of it already--"unencyclopedic bits"--that you might want to comment on as well there. I'm afraid Wikipedia is becoming like the yellow pages that people are using for self-promotion. --Girl2k (talk) 15:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

Thanks for your contributions to Carnival (disambiguation)! I just wanted to let you know that, according to standard Wikipedia format, "Each bulleted entry should, in almost every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link; including more than one link can confuse the reader." (See Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Disambiguation pages.) This applies even when the item has no article of its own - I find those to be the trickiest cases (I sometimes link to both the album and the artist for a song with no article), but generally there should be one link. Even if there are multiple relevant articles, they're most likely linked in the main item's article. These guidelines are often difficult to find, so I thought I'd point this one out for the future.

Yes, I was wondering about that. I should probably have created a page for The Carnival Band, but I didn't get any further than thinking about it! --Northernhenge (talk) 07:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, that's no problem, though it looks like you've done a whole lot of good writing just now. Until your article is finished, there's nothing wrong with linking to Maddy Prior and Giles Lewin. It's just things like "dark cabaret" and "marching band" that don't need links. MagnesianPhoenix (talk) 05:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
