[edit] Welcome

I am willing to listen to logical discussion...SteinAlive 08:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Janis Ian

Greetings! Just wanted to let you know that I replied to your message at Talk:Janis Ian. It's nice to meet another fan (I assume). Best, --Rkitko ^(talk) 07:05, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi again! Well, then I must formally welcome you to Wikipedia. You're doing a great job so far. And as you can see, I've been here for over a year and still don't claim to know everything. So there's always much to learn. Let me know if you have any questions or need direction. You may also want to consider Wikipedia adoption. Some people see that as an easy way to learn the ropes a bit faster with a good guide.

From what I understand, the colon markup in category and image links is so that we can talk about categories and images on talk pages and in discussion without placing those discussions in the category or placing the image on the page. Let me dig around a bit more in Wikidom and see if I can find some guideline on linking to a category. Once again, welcome. I look forward to possibly expanding and fact-checking the Janis Ian article with you. I assume once her autobiography comes out, we can easily add info and cite sources. But as far as I know, she's basically finished cleaning the house and researching at the moment. Still has to write. (I'm listening to an oldie but goodie, "Photographs" from Night Rains). Best, --Rkitko ^(talk) 08:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 30 Seconds to Mars

Thanks, it's good to know people like the edits and things I do on Wiki. :) User:Ss112 04:25, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Nanaimo, British Columbia

The thing is, CIVI-TV doesn't broadcast terrestrially on channel 12. Its transmitters are in Victoria on channel 53, and Vancouver on channel 17. And if you look in the CHEK-TV article, you'll find its transmitter list, and none of those transmitters broadcast a signal on channel 6, except for the one on Saturna Island, and I don't think the signal from that transmitter even hits Nanaimo. --  Denelson83  16:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption

Well, I can adopt you. Leave a message on my talk page if you have any thoughts.

[edit] Adoption

If you're interested checkout my user page and my talk page to see if you'd like to be adopted.Sam ov the blue sand 00:05, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeh what ever floats your boat. Good luck.Sam ov the blue sand 22:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Internet radio

The vast majority of terrestrial radio stations these days also stream on the web. If we added Category:Internet radio to every one that does, the category would have thousands upon thousands of entries. A separate category for terrestrial radio stations with web streaming might be justifiable, if you feel the urge to create one, but it muddles things to mix Internet radio services and conventional radio services in the same category. They're two very different things. And if the category currently contains some other terrestrial radio stations, the proper response is to correct that by removing them, not to perpetrate it by adding more.

[edit] Adoption

I can still adopt you if you'd like (it's not very much work at all; my other adoptees have only contacted me once or twice in the few days that I've had them). I noticed that two other editors made offers, though; you might want to ask them.

Anyway, here's some starting advice. Regarding Rumours/Fleetwood Mac, I would advise against directly copying content over from one article to another. You should probably find a way to fit whatever is in the FM article into the Rumours article by paraphrasing and so forth.

If you want to organize your userboxes, try this:

{{Boxboxtop|Userboxes}} {{Userbox 1}} {{Userbox 2}} etc. {{Boxboxbottom}}

That'll create a box like the one on my user page. You may find it easy for organizational purposes to separate each userbox with a separate line. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 21:05, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption

It looks like Goldenglove is on a wikibreak, if not completely inactive, so sure, that sounds great. Anyway, I see you've joined the U2 WikiProject; that's a good start. Too bad that they don't have a to do list up and running yet. Anyway, I also see that you've got Twinkle, which is a great tool. You can view the recent changes list and revert vandalism with it pretty easily. Do you have any other specific questions for me? -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 19:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

You can do this by adding some text to your monobook page. This is a copy of what I have:

TwinkleConfig = {

       revertMaxRevisions              :       50,
       userTalkPageMode                :       'window',
       showSharedIPNotice              :       true,
       openTalkPage                    :       [ 'agf', 'norm', 'vand' ],
       openTalkPageOnAutoRevert        :       false,
       openAOLAnonTalkPage             :       false,
       summaryAd                       :       " using TW",
       deletionSummaryAd               :       " using TW",
       protectionSummaryAd             :       " using TW",
       watchSpeedyPages                :       [ 'g3', 'g5', 'g10', 'g11', 'g12' ],
       openUserTalkPageOnSpeedyDelete  :       [ 'g1', 'g2', 'g10', 'g11', 'g12', 'a1', 'a7', 'i3', 'i4', 'i5', 'i6', 'i7', 'u3', 't1' ],
       watchRevertedPages              :       [ ],
       markRevertedPagesAsMinor        :       [ 'vand' ],
       deleteTalkPageOnDelete          :       false,
       markWarningsAsMinor             :       false,
       markAIVReportAsMinor            :       false,
       markSpeedyPagesAsMinor          :       false,
       confirmUsernameToAIV            :       true

};

The key line there is "markRevertedPagesAsMinor". Normally, 'agf', 'norm', and 'torev' are also present within that bracket, but I only have 'vand' there. You can leave out the other lines if you're not interested in further configuration (I changed some of them from their defaults), but if you are, you might want to check out WP:TW#Configuration. It has some computer jargon, but you can always ask on the TW talk page if you have any questions (or ask me, but I can't guarantee you that I'll know the answer).

As an aside, that edit you reverted looks like vandalism to me, so I would mark the edit was minor. It doesn't have to be obvious vandalism; as long as it's probably vandalism, I think that suffices. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 01:42, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

You're quite welcome! Just holler if you have any other questions. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 03:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

If hematophagia is the more popular spelling, then hematophagy should probably redirect there. But if hematophagy is to be the title of the article, then hematophagia should redirect to hematophagy. In other words, there should not be two separate articles. When a page is a redirect, whenever someone types the title of that page into the search box and presses "go," they are redirected to whatever the page redirects to. For example, if you type "Beethoven" into the search box, you will be redirected to Ludwig van Beethoven. Does that make sense?

So if I were you, I would follow the procedure at Wikipedia:Requested moves in order to move hematophagy to hematophagia. In the meantime, you should redirect hematophagia to hematophagy. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 04:17, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abeles matrix formalism

Best of luck wikifying Abeles matrix formalism. Thank you for taking this on. I also have made a request at WikiProject Physics for help working on the article. -- GURoadrunner, fellow member of the Wikification project

[edit] Fleetwood Mac#Fleetwood Mac (white album)

Hey there...Just a heads up... I re-added the link to The Beatles (album) which you had removed. I don't disagree with your edit, however for potential confusion between these two album's names, I thought the link was necessary. I reworded the text for clarity. I trust that you will find this ok. Thanks for your attention to this page. SteinAlive | ☎ | ☉ 06:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the message but I do not think that the link was removed by me? My recent edits to that page were just removing some of the vandalism. Yamaguchi先生 03:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the reworked version looks good. Thanks! --Mwalimu59 14:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

“Can you, hear, me, when I, sing You're the reason I sing You're the reason why the opera's in me” U2 News "PopMart: Live From Mexico City" will be released on DVD on September 10 (except for the U.S.A). A list of U2's other video releases can be found here. The band have returned from Fez, Morocco, working on their album. According to Adam, “There’s definitely an album in there.” Some possible songs include: “Mercy”, “If I Could Live My Life Again”, and “North Star”. U2's new film, U23D, is due for 3D theatre release later this year. The Republican National Committee has taken the first step to endorsing Bono’s ONE initiative, with a potential donation of 30 billion dollars in U.S. taxes. Their most recent song is a cover of the John Lennon song, Instant Karma! for the album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign To Save Darfur. All proceeds go to Amnesty International. Find out more at www.amnesty.org/noise Project News The Collaboration of the Fortnight Department has just been set up and is run by smithcool and neranei. If you have any questions or suggestions, or if you would like to nominate an article, go to the Collaboration of the Fortnight Talk Page. Member News A Portal still needs to be set up. People are also needed to help out in the Outreach Department. If you or someone you know is interested in joining the project, you can sign up on the Project Page. Join in the Collaboration! For the fortnight of August 3-17 the goal is to promote the U2 article to FA status. Remember, we need as much help as possible so don't hesitate! If you have any ideas, tasks or concerns to put forward, or if you just have something to say, visit the Talk Page.	From the Editors Welcome to the August edition of the U2 WikiProject Newsletter. As you may have noticed, we are now doing themed newsletters. This one (if you haven't already guessed) is How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. Every month the newsletter will have a different theme. There will also be a special edition when the new album is released. Also thanks to Neranei for some of the U2 news. New Members We have two new members since the start of the month! They are Vero444 and MC. We now have 38 members! The Album It was released on November 2004. It was distributed by Island Records and Interscope in the U.S.A. The album was a critical and commercial success. It went to #1 in many countries and sold over 9 million copies worldwide. Bono described the album as "our first rock album. It's taken us twenty years or whatever it is, but this is our first rock album." The album deals with love, war, peace, harmony, and approaching death. The singles released from the album are: Vertigo, All Because of You, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, City of Blinding Lights and Original of the Species. More info from the album page here. Corrections Last month's newsletter incorrectly stated that there were 34 members. This should've been 36. Also, under the "U2 News" section, line 3, instead of saying most recent single it should've said most recent song (this has since been corrected). The editors sincerely apologize for any misunderstandings this may have caused. The correct version of the July newsletter can be found here. IMPORTANT NOTICE All members of the U2 Wikiproject please note that voting for the next collaboration of the fortnight starts on THE 12TH OF AUGUST. Please visit the collaboration department for more details.

“I am not afraid Of anything in this world There's nothing you can throw at me That I haven't already heard” U2 News "PopMart: Live From Mexico City" will be released on DVD on September 10. A list of U2's other video releases can be found here. U2's new film, U23D, is due for 3D theatre release later this year.

This is a reference to verse 33 of chapter 3 of the book of Jeremiah: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things which you have not known."	From the Editors Welcome to the September Edition of the U2 WikiProject Newsletter. The theme for this newletter is "All That You Can't Leave Behind". We hope you enjoy reading it! New Members Our new members this month are Keeper76 and Jort227. We have now reached 40 members. The Album The album was released on October 30, 2000. It debuted at #1 in 28 countries and sold over 12 million copies worldwide. This album marked the end of U2's experimental phase in the 90's. However, they did not really return to their more traditional rock sound until How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. Rolling Stone called it "U2's third masterpiece". The song "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" was written by Bono for his late friend, Michael Hutchence. On several occasions the band said that they were "re-applying for the job of the best band in the world" with this album. The singles released from the album are: Beautiful Day, Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Walk On and Elevation. Take a look at the All That You Can't Leave Behind article for more info.

[edit] WikiProject U2 November Newsletter

The U2 WikiProject Newsletter Issue VI - 1st November 2007 If you would like to help out with future newsletters, please contact the Outreach Department.
U2 News On September 28, Bono was jointly awarded the Philadelphia Liberty Medal along with DATA. The medal is awarded to recognize leadership in the pursuit of freedom. Three U.S. Presidents, Nelson Mandela, Viktor Yushchenko, Colin Powell and Kofi Annan are among those who have been awarded it. In his acceptance speech, Bono spoke of those who don't have their liberty and urged Americans to keep working to solve the world's problems. More info here. U23D, U2's upcoming movie, will not be released until early next year. U2's recent biography, U2 By U2, is now available in paperback in the U.S. The 20th anniversary edition of The Joshua Tree will be released soon; the bonus content includes the Red Hill Mining Town video, often sought by fans. Project News Larry Mullen has reached Good Article status! Our first piece of featured content; List of U2 awards is completed. Where the Streets Have No Name is our latest GA. Member News There were no new members this month. Did You Know? Bono is the only person to have been nominated for an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe, and Nobel Peace Prize.	From the Editors Welcome to the November edition of the WikiProject U2 Newsletter. This month's theme is Zooropa, one of U2's most experimental albums. We hope you enjoy reading it! New Members The Album Zooropa was released on July 6, 1993. This album, along with Pop, is considered one of U2's most experimental. It was originally slated to be an EP, but expanded into an LP. It was recorded in between legs on the Zoo TV Tour. Zooropa features a rare lead singing performance by The Edge, on the song Numb. The names of three unfinished songs from the recording sessions -"Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me", "If You Wear That Velvet Dress", and "Wake Up Dead Man"- appear superimposed on the cover; "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me" was used in the Batman Forever soundtrack, and "If You Wear That Velvet Dress" and "Wake Up Dead Man" were included on 1997's "Pop". "Numb" was released in an unlikely format as the first "video single"; the "Numb" video is thought of as one of U2's best. "Some Days are Better Than Others" is the only track to have never been played live. The singles from Zooropa are "Numb", "Lemon", and "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)"
