Welcome!

Hello, RGCorris, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Hi, I thought I'd drop you the official "welcome to Wikipedia" notice. I see from your edits that we share a common interest in the Corris railway and its associated topics. Many thanks for the excellent improvements you've made to Wikipedia. I'm a life member of the Corris Railway Society myself, though from your username here I'm guessing that you've had a lot more involvement in the society than I have over the years! Anyway, thanks again for improving Wikipedia's coverage of the Corris and many thanks for all your hard work helping to lead the revival of the railway. Best, Gwernol 14:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Herbert Greenhough Smith

I suspect the parental information seemed out of place at the time but I see your point. I don't have an objection to adding it back. Also, a question: any sense why he's not mentioned in Dorothy Greenhough-Smith's article? Addere 21:56, 30 May 2007 (UTC) 'Cos someone deleted him, along with her birth and death details.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Herbert Greenhough Smith.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Herbert Greenhough Smith.jpg.

[edit] David Williams (Dewi Heli)

Hi. If you create a page that consists solely of an external link, it will be deleted, no matter how notable the subject. Deb 11:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

You are too quick off the mark - the page was in the process of being constructed

I'm just explaining to you how wikipedia works. Deb 17:04, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: Dorothy Greenhough Smith

Heh. That's cool. I was wondering why I wasn't seeing anything contaminated. By the way, the vandalism there was to Template:MedalSport, not the article itself. :) Kolindigo (talk) 20:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture Discs

You wrote: "Although there are a number of internet sources suggesting that Saturnalia's Magical Love picture disc came out in 1969, it was actually released in 1973." Okay, that's possible. I used to have a copy, but I wouldn't have bought it before '74 or '75 by my recollection.Rcarlberg (talk) 05:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Russell Mael

Thanks for adding the comment to the Modesty Blaise article, but something like that requires a citation. Could you please indicate next to your edit the book and page number? Thanks. 23skidoo (talk) 17:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I will look it out at the weekend RGCorris (talk) 23:05, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

PS - I have just bought the LP with the song on and it is very clearly "Blaise" that he is singing - which is what reminded me to add the note. I will probably add the lyrics at some point, unless that might cause copyright issues ?RGCorris (talk) 23:21, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Marriages

It just hasn't ever been done; I think you might be surprised by how few people would consider it encyclopedic enough to merit categorization. Bearcat (talk) 10:16, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why I changed the link

Hi. Just so you know, the reason I changed the URL on Last Day in Limbo is because the exact page in question included links that could be interpreted as copyvio by Wikipedia's URL police, so I changed it to the top level of that particular site in hopes of avoiding the link being removed by a bot or someone else. Cheers. 23skidoo (talk) 20:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Boyd and the Corris Railway

Hi, yes, I am aware of that. I'm going to run through Boyd, then reconcile it back with the other books. I just happened to start with Boyd, as it was nearest to hand :-) Gwernol 12:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Triumph Renown

I was originally going to give the 1800 a separate article but there is a good argument to include it with the Renown as they are so similar. If you have any knowledge of the 1800 please add it to the Renown entry. If in the unlikely event of lots of people adding to it we can always split the article in the future. Malcolma (talk) 17:21, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arnold-Forster

I put the link there but did not have a suitable image. Left the link there to irritate people into finding one :-) Bletchley (talk) 06:24, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Saturnalia date

I was worried about correcting the date as EVERY ref. says it was 1969. I have corrected it. Please support me if anyone challenges it.

Best wishes. Aimulti (talk) 08:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bolding spouse/relative names

Hello. In bio articles on Wikipedia, the manual of style does not permit bolding of any names other than the subject of the article. See WP:MOSBOLD. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:45, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Nice job adding info to the Asche/Brayton articles. Let me know if you start/have started any more articles about early musicals or actors in them. Best regards. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:41, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Zombies

I think it's pretty obvious that Odessey & Oracle is a psychedelic album. Just listen to it, it's a masterful piece filled with excitement, happiness, confusion, uncertainty, and melancholy that simulates the psychedelic experience. Psychedelic music isn't just about trying to recreate the experience of "tripping out" on some psychedelic drug like LSD, as many think (This music is more likely to fall under the Acid rock category), but to induce emotions that overtake and encompass the listener. The Zombies' unique brand of lyric wit and daring arrangement expanded the limits of pop, hence Psychedelic pop. Every song on Odessey & Oracle album induces feelings and emotions that send the listener on a journey. While it wasn't exactly "freakout" music, like the psychedelic sound of Hendrix, The Doors, and Jefferson Airplane Odyssey and Oracle is still notable for its experimental compositions.

[edit] The Misfit (TV series)

Excellent work on this article! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:07, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
