[edit] A welcome from Sputnik

Hi, Technohead1980, Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, bonjour, salut, privyet, konichiwa, shalom, hola, salve, sala'am, bonjourno, and hi! I'm Sputnik. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful. If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. Here are a few links to get you started:
And remember:
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
  • P.S. I'm happy to help new users. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Happy Wiki-ing!

[edit] Computational group theory

Thanks for your message. I have just finished a PhD in Computational Group Theory at Birmingham, and enjoyed it greatly. My supervisor moved to QMUL about a year ago, so you probably know him. Huppybanny 10:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for {{{1}}}

Thanks for uploading [[:{{{1}}}]]. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disagreement with User:62.25.109.194

You might start by asking him to provide a source for the information. Failing that, since it seems to be a dispute between just two editors, you can post a mention of the problem at Wikipedia:Third opinion, so someone outside the disagreement can look at it from a fresh angle. Joyous! | Talk 15:05, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Then I strongly recommend listing the problem at Wikipedia:Third opinion, so you don't get caught reverting more than 3 times in 24 hours. That's a blockable offense, and I don't want it to happen to you, since you seem like you want to find a reasonable solution. Joyous! | Talk 16:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • At the bottom of the "third opinion" page, there's a space that says "active disagreements." Use the listing that's already there as a model for yours. It may take a few days for someone to comment, though, so don't expect immediate miracles. There's also WP:RfC, where you can ask for other people to look at an article to get a consensus on what works best. Joyous! | Talk 16:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Hi

You're welcome. I was bored last night and couldn't sleep so I went through a lot of recent number one singles and added/completed chart trajectories and succession boxes to the ones that needed them. I update several of them on a weekly basis anyway. -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I use the Radio 1 website to check the Singles and Downloads Top 40s every week, then on a Monday I check Yahoo! because they have the Top 75 Singles and Top 200 Downloads but not until Monday. On Fridays I check the Irish Singles Chart on the Irish Recorded Music Association's website. There's also a website linked from there where you can get the peak positions of any single in the Irish Chart. Then in addition to that, there's a site called polyhex.com which gives chart trajectories for all singles and downloads! I tend to forget about albums though! Damn it, now you know all my secrets! I try to be quick because I don't like people doing it before me!!! -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah that would be cool.... what's yours? :) -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 17:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't want to put mine on here either... if you activated your email on here you could email it to me or I could email mine to you or whatever... The only site I can think of where you could possibly send me a message is last.fm. I've got a link to my profile there on my user page. Not sure if it would work though. Email through here would probably be best. -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
I sent an email, so I hope it went through ok :) -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 00:02, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Maybe you could try emailing me too... I think I emailed someone once and they never got it. -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 00:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Big Brother (UK series 7)

Hey there. I'm leaving you this message as you were a part of making the article Big Brother (UK series 7) and I've had the crazy idea of trying to get it to featured status, or at least a good article. I've made a peer review page, and comments there for improving would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you see I have left anyone out could you message them as well? Thanks. --Alex (Talk) 11:36, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree! I think that the List of Housemates would be even better to be featured. Triangle e 13:24, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
The list would probably need a lot more work on it - could you leave a comment on the peer review page? Thanks. --Alex (Talk) 13:48, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Helena Paparizou and Mambo

Hi! Do you have the link that shows Mambo getting the 185th place on Uk Chart? Is the Singles Chart?--Chronisgr 12:00, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer. So it's the Singles Chart,isn't it? Do you know how many copies it sold the 1st week? Any prediction for the place she will get the 2nd week?--Chronisgr 14:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deal or No Deal UK, potential deletion

I wondered whether it would be worth setting up a separate wiki for this sort of thing via [[1]] - it would be unregulated by Wikipedia, but still linkable to here. I actually have copies of all three stats pages up to yesterday, if we need them. Elcondor 20:35, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Right, I've set them up on http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Deal_or_No_Deal_UK - obviously if the AfD goes our way there's no need to do any more, but if it doesn't, it may be possible to get a full Deal or No Deal wiki on www.wikia.org, which I can then copy this stuff to.

[edit] Fitlads

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, Fitlads, has been tagged for speedy deletion because its content is clearly written to promote a company, product, or service. This article may have been deleted by the time you see this message. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service. Thank you.

[edit] 2 Unlimited

Hey,

I saw you've changed my info on Romy and Marjon .. I had to re-change it because all my new text was gone.

I knew that about Marjon and Marion, but I thought that she was still working under the name 'Marion' because here name was spelled that way in the articles I read about her jazzband .. but I was wrong, I checked the 'official' website of the jazzband (on http://www.neworpheans.com/tno/archive/cat_bezetting ) and saw that you are right and that her real name is Marjon and that she is currently working by her real name.

So sorry for the 'uncorrect' correction.

And actually I don't like jazz and I don't like Romy and Marjon .. I only wrote the added info, because everybody asumes that Romy and Marion were two new Belgian girls. But they're also Dutch .. I only liked 2 Unlimited with the real Ray & Anita

Cheers

[edit] AFD

Hey theres currently an AFD debate in progress for an article on Ill.Skillz. Don't know if you're familiar with them but please take a look at the debate, they're pretty high profile Austrian producers.--OriginalJunglist 16:43, 25 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Fitlads again

Hello, Thanks for your message re: fitlads. The page has now been deleted so clearly an editor agrees with me on this. I also note that another person has also tagged fitlads as non-notable in the past. There are millions of websites out there, and merely having thousands of users is not, I feel, grounds for notability: Wikipedia would become a stupidly large directory of websites if that were the case. Thanks for the gaydar pointer, I will take a look at that page too. Ooooooooo 11:37, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Style note

Hi. I have just a small note about the use of capitals. Per WP:MoS#Sections and headings, one should use lowercase except for proper names. For example,

==Over finite fields==

is preferable to

==Over Finite Fields==

This is a small thing but I thought I'd let you know. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Bonde Do Role

The version of Bonde do Role that I deleted was created by User:Rvoid17, an employee of Domino Records. Rvoid17 had created a spammy article based on an advertising blurb, so it qualified for deletion per WP:CSD#G11. If someone were to create an non-advertorial article on the band that explained their notability, then the article would likely be kept. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 10:21, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: BB8 Criticism and Controversy Section

Just so you know, I put this here as there was nowhere else to put it, and may be seen by some people as controversy. No need to be rude. And I have moved it to a more appropriate section. Babygurl1853 23:45, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion of my edit to Big Brother 2007 (UK)

Just wondering, why did revert my sorting of the contestants by last name in this article? Official policy is to sort people by their last name unless there is a compelling reason not to (e.g. Madonna is not usually known as Madonna Ciccone so is sorted as Madonna) so I don't really understand why you reverted it (in future it might help to say why in the edit summary). Thanks - EstoyAquí(tce) 21:54, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

It being Wikipedia policy, and part of English sorting rules, I didn't think it needed to be discussed (similar to how you thought your reversion didn't need to be explained maybe? ;) ). Anyway, clearly I was wrong. There's a discussion on the relevant page now. - EstoyAquí(tce) 22:02, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Acen Razvi

I'm very confused. This wasn't the page I moved, the page I moved was a proper article which I remember editing! The deletion log says User:Jimfbleak deleted this article today as patent nonsense[2]. I'll ask him about it. - Zeibura (Talk) 17:52, 8 July 2007 (UTC)


Hey there , I am the publisher for Acen Razvi & the original text regarding Acen's details are blatantly wrong & misleading - If you have any queries - please get in touch with either me or Acen himself thru myspace/acenmusic. The original article mentions a full name which is wrong & also that he recorded under the name Appleheads. We will consider legal action to get this resolved as it shows Acen in a misleading way not to mention the rather tame article. We would rather it be deleted altogether or left as Acen wants it , which is the bio we replaced the original article with. User:Acenfacts) (Talk)

for the moment I've deleted and protected the article against recreation, I need to check exactly what action to take about the totally out of order attempt to threaten Wikipedia, but I'm out all day, so this is a holding action to halt the edit war. Jimfbleak 05:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
As you are probably aware, User:Chaser has restored the article, and Acenfacts has been advised on a legitimate way forward. If the text dumps continue, one of us will block him from editing. However, please also bear in mind that words like "garbage" are not likely to improve the situation. Jimfbleak 06:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Acen Razvi

Please post the reference to Acen's real name , this will at least resolve one issue ( which is incorrect , especially since Wikipedia is supposedly based on fact ) We will then take it up with Guinness , If this is the case. On the other hand - we are satisfied that the Appleheads entry has been erased. Please understand that an Artist such as Acen, has the right to defend the misleading representation that has appeared in this case & Wikipedia should maintain its integrity by insuring its fact based knowledge is, indeed so. Typing 'Acen Razvi' into a google search, throws up the Wikipedia article 2nd from the top result - this is therefore damaging to Acen's profile entirely. We will work on an alternate write up shortly & understand that we do not want any ill will with Wikipedia & its public forum but im sure, incorrect entries of this kind shouldn't be a problem for Wikipedia to resolve. Thanks. Daimen Wilcox: Bucks Music Publishing. (Acenfacts 10:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC))


[edit] Acen Razvi

Likewise to your ' misrepresentation ' comment - we don't understand how the article we replaced it with is not appropriate  ? Maybe you could send us a list of 'Q's , which I will get answered direct from Acen - maybe this will help resolve any misinformation & help us understand how the facts/info on Acen Razvi should appear on Wikipedia. We would be happy to help.

Btw "misrepresent" in dictionary : misreport, misquote, quote/take out of context, misinterpret, put a spin on, skew, warp, falsify, distort, misstate, exaggerate. In other words ' to misrepresent ' we mean to 'falsify' from unofficial & unconfirmed sources Thanks : Daimen (Acenfacts 12:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Stempelkissen

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Stempelkissen, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. B. Wolterding 16:43, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of DJ Dougal

An editor has nominated DJ Dougal, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DJ Dougal and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 16:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Too lazy to google?"

No, I wasn't "too lazy to Google". I simply marked that statement as requiring a citation because the source provided didn't exist. That's a legitimate thing to do, and if you want to go around calling people names, I would suggest otherwise. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:44, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome to maintain that view, but the fact remains that you have removed warnings from your Talk page as well as called me names. It is your behaviour that is the problem. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
