[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Buckingham Big Love solo.ogg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Buckingham Big Love solo.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:31, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I could use some help with this guy on the MCR article, he is absolutly refusing to cooperate, or even be civil, and has broken the 3RR. Zazaban 18:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, you left a comment on my talk page regarding the proposed deletion of the aforementioned wiki page, however I am not too sure as to why you have done so; any help would be appreciated in clearing this up. Thanks Tiburon 03:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Guitarists newsletter

The WikiProject Guitarists Newsletter
Issue IV - December 2007
Project news

Hello all! Time for the next installment of the WikiProject Guitarists newsletter. I recently went through and trimmed the member list again to remove inactive participants. I haven't been too active recently because I'm finishing a Master's degree but I'll have some more free time coming up. I will probably spend some time cleaning up equipment articles since many of them read like adverts or contain no useful information.

We have a lot of great people working on the project, including professional guitarists and even luthiers. We have the potential to write a lot of great articles. If you are looking for something to do, see the open tasks on the main project page or see the column to the right for specific suggestions. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 23:30, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox Music genre

Hi and thanks for the alert. I think I've realized what's happened: the infobox had been set to use {{{color}}} for the background color and {{{bgcolor}}} for the text color -- i.e. back to front -- and I switched them without noticing. I think I can set AWB to switch "color=" and "bgcolor=" in the pages affected, so shall I give that a try? Sardanaphalus (talk) 14:14, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

  • My apologies too for forgetting to update you. I imagine you've realized that soon after your alert User:DH85868993 mentioned an idea which I was able to use with AWB to sort out the color parameters. At least, I hope they're all fixed successfully, but there may be one or two that didn't quite work out. If so, they should be the exception and straightforward to amend. I'm glad you spotted the change as it's something I wouldn't have noticed. Sardanaphalus (talk) 19:32, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Hi again. The reason is here and I've left messages about it in the "Template:Infobox Music genre" thread here, to which I'm awaiting a further reply. Sardanaphalus (talk) 02:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, that user has some strange edit history? Copyvio uploads resulting in a block. I think their undiscussed revert of the work done on the infobox should be undone. Peter Fleet (talk) 03:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I think it should be okay if you restore the working version rather than me and give him (I think he's a him) the reason in the edit summary. It might also be worth repeating it in the thread on his talkpage. Sorry about the hassle caused. Sardanaphalus (talk) 03:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sheredes School

Hi Peter, thanks for your excellent work keeping the vandals at bay from this article. Just as an FYI, it really is located on the unfortunately-named "Cock Lane",, as you can see here! Best, Gwernol 17:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Who knew? Thanks for following up. Peter Fleet (talk) 18:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yay!

[1] Pro comma ;-) ScarianCall me Pat! 19:22, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I apologize for the late reply. I do not go near my computer on weekends. I have read and voiced my opinion on the formatting issue before. My views seem to follow the majority. I do not look at Wikipedia very much and that is not a major issue with me. The edit you noted was actually me following up on the edit history of a user named RattleAndHum who doesn't read any talk pages and edits based on his own opinion. His edits usually contradict previous discussion and I was following up an a few of his edits to make sure he wasn't ignoring prior talks. I do not like the infobox looking like a receipt from a supermarket so I changed that one page to a comma spacing. I think they should all follow that but there is one user who keeps edit warring that it should be the other way. I am just ignoring him and editing how I feel. If an actual constructive discussion comes up again on the topic I would take part. Otherwise I am not going to pay any attention to it and just edit the way I always have.

[edit] Minor edits

Please mark an edit as minor only if it genuinely is a minor edit (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one, as you did here, is considered rude. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Adding or deleting sentences or paragraphs in an article is not a minor edit. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 17:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

It's checked by default and I forgot to uncheck it. Besides, removing soapboxing isn't rude regardless of whether it's marked minor or major. Just as long as someone deletes it. Peter Fleet (talk) 17:46, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Outlook club

I've relisted this AFD, which you contributed to, as there were some new sources added close to its scheduled end time. Can you please have a look again and note whether your opinion has stayed the same or changed? Thanks. Stifle (talk) 08:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
