[edit] London Midland

Yawn. There seems little point leaving messages for this user: they're using a dialup connection with no fixed IP address. Not that they would take any notice anyway, it seems (they're not taking any notice of the talk page as it is.....). --RFBailey (talk) 06:40, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiworld title

Feel free. People give me and Signpost writers too much power; the Signpost is merely another page on the wiki, and any copyediting is welcome. Ral315 (talk) 17:57, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:ACC

Hi,

Just to let you know that a new template has been created for one of the queries your answered to. Please see this to understand what I mean. The template explains about Capitalisation to the IP.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reminder - I'll try to remember in future. Tivedshambo (talk) 12:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Umm

Earthless.com you tagged for speedy deletion, which I dont dispute. Yet on Earthless you have reverted[1] the removal of earthless.com which isnt associated with the band, even warning the user who removed it[2]. I cant see what you are trying to achieve could you please explain? Gnan garra 15:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't recall what was in Earthless.com, but if you look at the other contributions of Drjonfrockit, it seems that he is trying to use Wikipedia as a platform to air his views about the ownership of the name [3], and making related threats [4]. I don't know whether his claims are correct or not, but obviously Wikipedia is not the correct place for this, and the previous edit he made to Earthless was reverted.[5]. As far as the removal of the link on Earthless goes, I had a look at the website, but could not tell whether it was related to the band or not (it gives the option to download podcasts, so it might well be). However, due to my concerns about the user's other edits, and the fact that he had left no edit summary explaining the removal of the link, I decided to play safe and re-instate the link. I left the standard level 1 good-faith template {{uw-blank}} on his talk page, which requests that removals that may be controversial should have some explanation. Finally, I do not see any discrepancy between removing the article earthless.com and reinstating the link to it; as far as I am aware there are no rules that state that all externally linked websites have to be notable.

[edit] speedy deletion of forbandet

Hi, i made the forbandet page, you nomined for speedy deletion. Could you explain why it should be deleted, more specific? Im completely new at starting pages. Iamlowlikeyou (talk) 18:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I nominated it for deletion as there was nothing in the article to assert why the subject was important. See Wikipedia:Notability (music) and Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7 Tivedshambo (talk) 18:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] nice

On behalf of viviparous lizards and newts everywhere, I'd like to thank you for being so nice! - Nunh-huh 02:36, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy Deletion

Happy for you to remove the tag - I was looking at the criterion for text being unsalvageably incoherent, since it has obviously just been translated from Russian into English using a very bad translator. Am now PRODing the articles instead. If that fails, i will take it to AfD . Many thanks - Fritzpoll (talk) 12:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tom MacDonald

Many thanks for your help with this. Can we delete Tom MacDonald (author)? All the links are now for Tom MacDonald (writer), so I don't think we need keep the author entry. As you'll know I am a new contributor, so I am not all clued-up yet on how things work. Thanks again for your help in saving good old Tom! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lepidus Magnus (talk • contribs) 16:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Earthless.com

Hi I'm sorry for wrongly editing a wiki that I do not control, however.. I feel it is important to note that the band who assumes the name earthless is falsly representing their online presence by using my URL.

Their link to earthless.com is not merited and should be removed. I have asked them in several ways to cease using my web URL as their own.

Thank you for your patience and I have learned the required ettiquette for using/creating a wiki.

Please forgive my ignorance... but I do intend to retain earthless.com for as long as I can afford it.

Thanks!

I have the name trademarked and plan to keep it for ever.

Understood, but please bear in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. External links are used where they provide citations for verifiable facts, or at least appear to, which was the case with your site. Feel free to carry on editing Wikipedia - it's open for everyone to edit. — Tivedshambo _(t\|c) 07:45, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re 'Welcome'

Dear Tivedshambo Many thanks for the welcome, I've been reading through some of the things you suggested (I had to print them off as would you believe it I don't actually have internet access from home, so have to wait until I can get to a computer at the local library!) I'm beginning to understand how things work a little better now, so hopefully it will help me to edit and create better articles - times is the perennial problem though. (Lepidus Magnus (talk) 12:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Re Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sól (band)

It seems that, like myself, no one saw the album nomination. So I am going to renominate it.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 15:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] George Stamatis‎

Hi - I see you are trying to clear up this article at the moment, but you appear to be engaged in a revert war. Please be aware of the 3 revert rule, and try to keep a cool head. Thanks. — Tivedshambo _(t|c) 20:30, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
