Classic Rock

I've updated my Classic Rock List with your songs. You might find that some of your votes aren't present. If that is so it is because I felt that those songs weren't truly classic rock. If you have any comments feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. RENTA^{FOR LET?} 02:26, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Woah.

I've seen you've recently been editing the RS Battle section. Well I did a little spying on that website and found this, maybe it might entertain you...

"Deadmaninc2411-For some reason though, it's suddenly "up for deletion". I guess that would be to random people just editing it, taking stuff away from it, and adding senseless things. I'm still working on the "History of", but hopefully the page will still be around by the time I get it up.

Well, apperently, someone named Jdcooper just keeps messing up the page. I spent over 15 minutes writing an overview, I walk away from my comp, came back, and he deleted it.. and put this as the "comment": "(the "overview" title is unnecessary as per manual of style. comparison to RuneScape is not necessary, remove mention if it is illegitimate)"

I'm about to give up on this, it seems the people on Wikipedia are even more jerks then the people on GameFaqs."

Oh and even funnier this one.

"Elfmaster-Don't give up hope yet Deadman!

I signed the Deletion thing, in favor of keeping it, I am pretty sure there is some way to report people who are abusing their editing powers..."

Hey, I found them funny. Yours Sincerely,J.J.Sagnella

Babylon Zoo and Stiltskin

I made a small section on the top of the one-hit wonders page mentioning them. Happy? RomeoVoid 18:30, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Regarding the article Daithi O Muiri, which you tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "it is an article about a real person or group of people that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject. (CSD A7)", I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This article does not qualify for speedy deletion because the article claims he is a TV presenter, which is an assertion of notability. If you still want the article to be deleted, please use the WP:AFD process. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 21:19, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Cannabis Culture

I'm actually having trouble finding a source connecting cannabis to kayaking. As a white-water kayaker myself, I've personally witnessed it, although it may be better to reference it as "river-culture" in order encompass a broader spectrum than simply kayaking. But if I'm going to do that, I may as well encompass the entirety of "outdoor/hippy-culture." I'm not sure how to reference that. Any advice?

Cwiddofer

Well, the company is based in britain, but the white-water kayaking market is incredibly strong in America. I'd have to do some research, but I'd be willing to bet that the majority of the company's profits are from America, so their marketing would be directed to Americans.

And the other boats that the company sells usually aren't actually named numbers. In general, the way it works is that the boats come in different sizes of the same design. For instance, the "InaZone 220" and the "InaZone 240" are essentially the same boat, but the number following the name is actually the volume of the boat itself in cubic centimeters. Higher volume boats are better for larger people.

The difference between those boats and the "4 Twenty", is that the sizes for the "4 Twenty" are listed as "S/M" or "M/L," presumably for "Small/Medium" and "Medium/Large" respectively. Also, the "4 Twenty" specifically spells out "Twenty" in the name so that it's pronounced specifically the same way as the cannabis term "420".

If that doesn't convince you, I'll take your word for it that I'll need more sources before I can put that there. I am a new contributor and I'm not an expert in policy here. I'll leave it up to you.

---Just a correction - the numbers usually represent the lenghth of the boat. Those numbers wouldn't work out and they usually measure volume in liters. In anycase, a 420 cm boat wouldn't be incredibly useful in the purposes of the "4 Twenty" because it's designed for aggressive "rodeo" boating. I here's a link ( http://www.lozer.com/buyer's_guide/whitewater_kayaks/pyranha_-_4-twenty.html ) to a "review" of the kayak that describes the process of turning it into a hookah-like device, but all of the author's so-called reviews are mostly in jest. I don't know if this would be reliable enough.

External links in The Game (game)

Hi.

I added some external links to The Game (game), and you removed them because they're unencyclopedic. I can't find anything in WP:POL that could be the policy you followed in doing so. Can you point me to the right place? It seems to me those links were useful and relevant - they demonstrate the existence (and thus wikipediability) of the game. --Hughcharlesparker 10:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Corporate Fascism

Hi, you added a merge tag to Corporate fascism but didn't suggest a merge location (as far as I can see). Do you have any ideas? I don't think the current title is at all suitable to have a NPOV article. Pseudomonas 15:53, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

AfD probably, then. It's a bit polemicky at the moment. Pseudomonas 18:12, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Deleted topic, J-Lo Booty

J-Lo Booty is a slang term that is quite common and is a significant part of pop culture. I spent my valuable time adding this contribution to WP and I don't understand why it was deleted without explanation. The information in it was quite accurate. Such rash removal of material can easily take the air out of the sails of a new user. I realize you are a major contributor but there is no reason to be so judgemental on whether or not content valuable.

• Ok, I understand why you "changed" my article but I was trying not to clutter up the main article. Is that unacceptable? Using subtopics for something like that seems to streamline things. Maybe you could offer some advice on this.

Dartford

You're welcome. There were some slightly strange things going on there, not your average run-of-the-mill vandalism. It's probably worthwhile continuing to keep an eye on that one: I've added the article to my watchlist. Regards, --BillC 19:03, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Hitler & 420

Why are you so stubborn about including this in the article? The fact of the matter is that it has been suggested as an origin, so it should be included in that section. --LakeHMM 23:51, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

New Zealand statutes

As far as I'm aware, the size of the page, in kilobytes, is based on the amount of characters in it, be they actual text or wikicode, so removing the links will reduce the size of the page. Jude (talk) 00:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Many thanks

That's okay, and please don't get stressed or worried about this. I want to help you but I only became an admin very recently, so I think the best option for you would be to go to WP:AN/I and leave a message explaining the situation. Extraordinary Machine 22:32, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Athlete categorisation

Hi, good work on filling in the gaps in athlete biographical articles, just one small thing: when categorising biographical articles, please use Category:Year of birth missing for those articles where the birth year could potentially be known. Category:Year of birth unknown is for those articles where the birth year is obscured by bad records or the sands of time, or is disputed by historians and will never be known. Cheers, and happy editing! Jdcooper 17:42, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Whoops, hadn't even realized there were two separate categories (I only knew of the "missing" one). I must have accidentally put "unknown", saw a blue cat-link, and not thought anything more of it. Think they're all fixed now. Thanks for the heads-up! -- Jonel | Speak 19:20, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about the copyvio, I thought since I've seen that review on other sites as well it wasn't under copyright violation, but as I am wrong I have removed all the allmusic.com bio's from all of the other Calla albums. Kflorence 05:49, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

You need to look again

That website is from something called the Korean Friendship Association, not an official site of the North Korean government. It's not clear exactly what that association is, but it is not a Reliable Source. Fan-1967 16:20, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

David Kreuger

Hey, there! On David Kreuger, you added an interwiki to Cheiron which doesn't seem to go to the right place. What is Cheiron? From the context, it sounds like a company or a music school. Please advise, and many thanks! --Graham^talk/mail/e 08:00, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry 'bout that --- the edit history shows you wikifying it, but it had already been linked. Whoops! Cheers --Graham^talk/mail/e 18:08, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Human Rights in the Middle East

Hi,

I think that the list of countries belongs there, because:

1. All other articles about "Human Rights in..." have similar lists.
2. The template includes all the countries in Asia, not just the Middle East.

Having a list makes it easier for readers to access each Middle Eastern country individually.

Please let me know if you agree before I go and change it.

Thanks, --Gabi S. 13:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Changed. --Gabi S. 05:59, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Categorising peers

The way you're changing it is simply not the way it's done (as you'll find as you systematically work through every single article on a peer on the entire encyclopaedia), and for a good reason: British peers are simply not referred to by their surnames. Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury is referred to as "Lord Salisbury" or "Salisbury". No one would know who you were talking about if you called him "Gascoyne-Cecil". Until you can come up with a logical justification for what you're doing I'm going to rollback your edits. Proteus (Talk) 14:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello Jdcooper/Archive 2! I saw your userspace article User:Jdcooper/Most prolific murderers by number of victims. You could shorten the name to Most Prolific Murderers By Victim Count. Just a thought. Happy editing! --T_{Talk to me} 21:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Jj72.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Jj72.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

British/American English

Hello JDCooper. I left you a note on Dr. William LoneFight's discussion page, but I thought I would also drop you a line here. You corrected a quote enclosed comma ("blah," blah blah.), but in Universal American English commas are enclosed within quotes--a punctuation oddity that differs from British English. Bear this in mind as you go about correcting American English Wiki entries. Best. 68.118.254.216 04:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Your changes to Peaches Geldof

The myspace page was deleted for a couple of specific reasons following a minor edit war with an anonymous user who was blocked as a result of insisting the page was included. These reasons are detailed on the talk page, including references to policy . If you want to comment please do, but in this instance I've reverted yr edit as you have not given a reason and have not contributed to the discussion on the talk page , arguably giving a sense of justification to a abusive and uncomprimising vandal who did not feel they needed to follow policy : )

Hi, it looked like you had reinsterted it; i think i may have been a bit confused by the history as to who was responsible , or whether it was reinserted at all - i hope you are not offended by my mistake. Was it hidden on the page? I can't figure out what was going on?
