[edit] Formatting of track listing sections

In regards to your changes to Black Sabbath (album), please see WP:ALBUM#Track listing for guidelines about how track listing sections should be formatted. Have a nice day. --PEJL 17:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Note specifically the phrasing "All songs were written..." --PEJL 16:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trower

If you want to contact Robin, do what I did : click on his webpage, and his agent's e-mail is listed as the contact address... Best regards, Sub* Mark Sublette (talk) 21:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 21:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arthur C. Clarke

We do not "out" people here. If you have a reliable source that Clarke was gay, please cite it, but innuendo is unacceptable. Thanks. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 14:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment, I have moved it to its proper chronological place on my talk page. The acid test for a reliable source is whether it has a reputation for checking its sources. There is also the issue of verifiability. Just as we require multiple such sources to establish notability, it is my opinion that we should require no less in relation to allegations of this nature. Personally I don't think the primary purpose of Playboy is to print the truth, but you are welcome to argue it on Talk:Arthur C. Clarke. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 18:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

And now my input: I know what Clarke's quote is, I have never argued against his admittance of having an experience. However, as I have said at least twice already, having a bisexual experience does not A) make one bisexual or B) make one gay. You say yourself that you think something should not be added unless properly sourced, yet your edit to the Arthur C. Clarke article has no source. Even your edit summary, let's not ignore the fact that he was gay, whether or not he admitted it., is absolutely original research and a gross assumption on your part. You cannot factually state someone is gay without their admittance of it. At the very least you can assume, but you have no factual proof from which to assume either. So your entire edit was malicious and unfounded.

If you don't want to be treated harshly, do not make biased, unsourced statements about a dead man, and then reprimand others about the requirement of using sources! The359 (talk) 19:01, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Would you stop being so harsh?

Look man, I think you shouldn't be so harsh to me, as you were in Talk:The Trindade Island's UFO and Talk:UFO sighting in Central Idaho. If you do not believe the grammar is OK, just edit it. And if you really feel the need to create an issue in the talk page, you should say "this article is badly written" or "this article needs grammar improvement", instead of writing a personal comment on me and my skills (see Wikipedia:No personal attacks). I'm not saying that you are wrong by correcting the mistakes, but I just won't accept rude comments, because I've been dedicating myself to Wiki for over two years now, and I was never treated like that. Also, see WP:babel to see that I'm an advanced English speaker, which means that "though I can write in this language with no problem, some small errors might occur". Remember that everyone is welcome to contribute here. Thank you, Victao lopes (talk) 22:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind. As English is an universal language, the english Wikipedia is full of foreign people who may not speak it properly but are really good-intended (just like me). And you are sadly right about people's thoughts towards Ufology. Cheers and happy editing! Victao lopes (talk) 18:13, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
