[edit] Sex Pistols

Hey Quercusrobur, I reverted your renaming of that Pistol's section, sorry about that, but the article is undergoing a WP:FAR and needs to be 'just so', ie WP:MOS etc. They WERE hit singles, but that needs to be a narrative statement, rather one in the heading. I noticed you have made good contributions to this article before, could do with a hand in avoiding the article becoming a WP:FAR victim. :( , anyway, (Coil00 20:57, 21 September 2006 (UTC))

Oh christ, just relised you deleted 'Hit' rather than added! (was using 'pop ups', sometimes a bit confusing). I'll delete that word again later. It'd be great if you could add a few refs, but more than anything the language needs to be toned down a bit. Anyway, always good to hear from another old punk, take care Coil00 07:41, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kronstadt Uprising

I don't know if you ever met them or not, but it wouldn't suprise me. Anywho, I just got one of their CDs and there are not lyrics in the book, and I swear not a single place online has any of their lyrics (not even their official website). Their website doesn't have any contact info either, otherwise I'd email them. Do you know of how I can find the lyrics and/or how I can get in contact with them? Thanks.

Awesome! Thanks a lot. The website looks pretty cool, haven't checked out the message boards yet. I just had my birthday so I splurged at Amoeba Records in San Francisco. It was my first time there and was almost like a religious experience. I felt bad spending so much money on CDs, but they had so much cool obscure stuff I've never seen in any record stores. That's where I found the CD. The best one I got was probably the Oi Polloi album I'm listening to right now. Well, have a good time this weekend, that sounds pretty cool. And if I ever find anything by either of your bands I'll be sure to snap it up if I'm not broke, but something tells me I'll have trouble finding any of your stuff here in the states. Damn anarchist bands doing indy labels and self-releases ;) Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 06:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anarcho-punk and sXe

[edit] Punk rock

Hi Graham, I notice two pictures taken by you are currently featured on Punk rock. The article is currently up for FAR, one of the issues I'm trying to get around is the number of fair use images being used. Was wondering if there are anymore free images in the Quercusrobur vaults, in paticular one that could be used for the Oi! section. Thanks. + Ceoil 23:55, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help Resolving a conflict

I have read the pages about this on wikipedia and I have came to you because you seem to be a person who knows how wikipedia is supposed to work and are most likely 100% neutral on this matter. I am involved in a rather intense edit war with two other editors of the article Miriam Rivera. In the last days the user User:Jokestress has quite reasonably asked for the article to be backed up with more reliable sources. Well I found them and that seems to have placated her. She has acted in 100% reasonable way in all of this. The problem arises in that she has asked in the spirt of resolving the conflict we were having other people who are not 100% neutral it seems to comment on the matter. These being the user User:Longhair and the userUser:Alison in particular who have not bothered to justify anything that they have done. Longhiar being an admin seems to feel no need to discuss anything and I feel is abusing her powers. Is there anything you can do? --Hfarmer 04:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for peer review

Hi, I put an article up for peer review, Date cultivation in Dar al-Manasir, and found your name in the horticulture wikiproject list of people. If you have some time, I think it would make a great FA and wanted to get some expert advice. cc: user:SB_Johnny, user:NoahElhardt, Cas Liber, User:Doc Tropics, Lynnathon, Benjamin, HelloMojo, Strobilus.

[edit] Jesus fuckin wept!!!

Does anybody else remember when contributing to wikipedia used to be FUN????? I don't even understand half of the gobbledegook above and certainly don't have the energy or time to start to undertake the labyrinthine process of meeting whatever obscure criteria is being demanded above, even though I know that all of the images uploaded were done in good faith according to the guidelines specified at the time, and all the images illustrate relevant points in the articles in question, but if the wikip[edia project will be enhanced rather than diminished by their deletion, do what you have to do. i think I'm out of here. quercus robur 00:37, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

If you still read this, Quercus, let me assure you I have always appreciated your input, it's always been of been of the highest quality. I am sorry to see you go. Dieter Simon 23:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Dieter Simon 23:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
