Powderfinger discography

We're almost there, but we've been asked to trim the lead (now that it's merged) and remove unnecessary information. Would you mind doing the honours? I'm too fussy when it comes to that and can never know what should stay and what should go. --lincalinca 04:16, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I kind of just did it a bit blind: I closed my eyes and thought to myself "what really needs to be here" and whatever didn't come into my head went into the past. We don't really need the members listed, nor do we need to address the awards. Certifications and releases are the most appropriate things to note. I'm pretty sure the prose needs some reworking, but I'm so wrecked right now, I'm more handy with a machete than bonsai scissors right now. --lincalinca 06:32, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

When's the RfA coming? WHEN? WHEN? Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 08:08, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm rather confused as to when I should run..., I promise I'll let you nominate or at least give some form of nomination statement when I do (on the condition that you don't bookmark this diff ;)) ~ Sebi [talk] 08:11, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
In response to your question here, I do get that problem. Not sure about Linc though. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 00:49, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I mis-estimated the line-height I should use. I've fixed it now, though. I just thought it looked pretty ugly all spaces apart, but was overzealous in how tiny I made the linespacing afterwards. It's somewhat fixed now, but I'm probably not going to be done with that template for a while. I still have a few things I want to do with it. --lincalinca 02:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
re. this - I looked, but found nothing. Maybe you should buy it ;) Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 08:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Portal:North West England peer review

Thanks for the comments. Would you be willing to assist me in the development? Regards, Rudget Contributions 17:48, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

See my last edit to the talk page. Handy trick to know. :) Orderinchaos 01:20, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Haha, thanks :) ~ Sebi [talk] 02:03, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

The Chaser

I've deleted other Chaser-cruft of late (The Chaser Eulogy Song being one) and this one caught my eye as being more of the same. Perhaps the AfD was premature. I understand what you're doing now, however I won't withdraw the AfD just yet to see if anyone has any issues with the article being split up as such. -- Longhair\talk 21:38, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

It did appear to me the article was created then abandoned. This isn't the case so I'll happily withdraw the AfD if it appears the forking is warranted. -- Longhair\talk 21:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Bot notice

Moved to User talk:Spebi/Warnings archive

Thanks for the revert.

Hello again,

Thank you very much for taking the time to revert the vandalism to my user page; why anyone would blank the page is beyond me. Cheers, --Aarktica 22:13, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

GAN - Transfusion

I've put up Transfusion (EP) for GA. Hope you don't mind, but I'm certain it's ready for it. There's just not THAT much more information that can be gleaned for it. --lincalinca 04:02, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Portal:British Empire

I added the DYK box you suggested some time ago after ferreting about in the archives, although I didn't get round to noting it in the peer review page until now. Any other suggestions would be more than welcome. Cheers, -- Chris B • talk 11:29, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I'll have a look later, busy with other stuff right now. Sorry, ~ Sebi 04:54, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Australia Day is new ACOTF

Hi. You nominated Australia Day for Australian Collaboration. It has been selected, please help to improve it in any way you can. Thanks. --Scott Davis Talk 13:06, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

re. Powderfinger

Hmm...I could look, but I'm not sure if there would be anything. You can always just try URL smashing - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Powderfinger/Fanclub for what the URL should look like. Otherwise I'll google a bit more, that's all I tried before (to no avail). Best to ask Linca, I'm quite sure he wrote it. And thanks for the DYK kudos :) Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 07:45, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Haha, I'd rather not give in on this one :) If we include a discog section, I think it should be all or nothing. Including one single from each year makes sense to you, but I didn't pick that up when I looked at it, and had I not known that there were more singles, I would've thought that was the lot. Which isn't the case. — H2O —  09:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I quite like my sig too :) — H2O —  09:26, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey speb, on the main page, you undid and then re-did what I did last night with the triple j refs. I know it doesn't look good in the code, but it looks reasonably presentable in the actual references section, and it gives direct references to all of the entries. Did you revert my edit before checking what I wrote in the peer review? --lincalinca 04:36, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, sort of. I didn't think you wrote anything in the peer review at all, at one stage, then I checked back to see if any changes. Sorry ;) It does look good, makes things clearer for readers when viewing the reference. ~ Sebi 04:39, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Awesome! It's just a shame there's no "multicite" template. It'd be too complex, though, and it would most probably end up being used incorrectly. This works for this purpose. Other than this one case, it's best we continue to use the templates. --lincalinca 04:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you very much. It is much appreciated. Cheers, Mattinbgn\talk 21:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Vulture Street

They'd be typos then - the band calls him DiDia in all their productions. — H2O —  02:17, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

List of palms of the Caribbean

I was thinking that the FLC for that page should be reopened, because Circeus had just opposed the page hours ago and generally we shouldn't close pages until the nominators have had a chance to address the opposition. -- Scorpion0422 06:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

It's okay, I've been closing FLCs for over 2 months and I still forget to do things quite often (like check dates, add </div> tags, update the FL count, etc, etc). It's nice to see that other people besides me are interested in closing them. -- Scorpion0422 06:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

LOTD proposal

You either voted on the original list of the day proposal or the revised version. A more modest experimental proposal is now at issue at WP:LOTDP. Feel free to voice your opinion.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 17:42, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I noticed you voted on the List of the Day proposal. A new one has been made and your comments are welcome. The Placebo Effect 02:00, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Help me!!

He's been blocked for 24 hours for external link spamming, let's see if he's taken this as a chance to cool down a bit. ~ Sebi 21:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

RE: Zhan Li USC Survey

Hi there,

if you would like to, please can you comment on my response to concerns about my survey attempt here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Message_from_Zhan_Li_regarding_Survey

I am contacting you as you were part of the original discussion.

thank you very much Zhan Li Zhanliusc 21:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

criticism

Regarding this. Not going to revert, of course. I would however appreciate something a bit more specific. I'm fairly sure there's a good deal to criticise about my contribs and behaviour, so if you'd like to address something specific, you're absolutely welcome to do so at any time, whether in the criticism section or at my talk. — Dorftrottel⁠ 12:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't actually planning on giving criticism when I made that edit, I just pretty much... made the edit. ~ Sebi 21:02, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok, no worries. At any rate, what I said above still holds. Should you ever feel like giving me feedback, just go ahead. — Dorftrottel⁠ 12:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Feeder discography

Hi!, I know this might seem unusual, but could you please review the article in question as the nomination ends on the 12th of november and am worried it might not get enough nominations before the deadline.

Many thanks.Marcus Bowen 13:09, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

If it doesn't receive enough support, then the time will be extended for a few extra days. Nothing really to be worried about. The best thing you can do for it now is to try and implement the suggestions made into the article, and you are likely to receive support from whoever made those suggestions. I'll have a peek through and let you know what I think a little later. ~ Sebi 20:57, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
