Wikimania in Atlanta![edit]

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 09:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citizen/Soldier[edit]

Hi! I just wanted to bring up something that you edited on the 3 Doors Down article. I noticed that you removed the Citizen/Soldier title off of the music video list. A couple users were posting this information uncited and I reverted it until I was able to provide citations to support the edit. I realize that the video isn't widely knowm, but it does exist and I do believe that it is valid. Is there a reason why you think it's inappropriate for the article? --Candy156sweet 02:41, 7 November 2007

I'm sorry... I didn't realize that it had appeared twice in the list. I had already placed it a while back and I guess you added it too. Sorry for the confusion, my bad. --Candy156sweet 02:58, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice[edit]

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Vanderbilt[edit]

Not trying to spam you, but in regards to your question about Vanderbilt, I would direct you to one of the many forum on the internet about college search and admissions, as they have a wealth of information about this sort of thing. talk.collegeconfidential.com is one the bigger ones. --Ttownfeen (talk) 04:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re this[edit]

Thanks for posting that, I'm off to see what I can do to fix the chart placements (as well as to look for any reliable source that says "It's the Only One You've Got" is to be the next single from 3 Doors Down's self-titled album).

Could you please[edit]

...join my campaign for all illegal drug users to be executed, if their home state allows it, otherwise life imprisonment. Of course because alcohol and tobacco are completely safe, these would not be included, in fact I propose to remove all taxes, age limits and health warnings on these products. However we must eliminate those evildoers with their marijuanas and them ecstasy pipes. 91.84.87.110 (talk) 20:36, 9 August 2009 (UTC) My Wikibooks user name is Xania.[reply]

Um, are you really Xania? Cause I visited the userpage for "Xania" on both wikipedia and wikibooks and there is nothing about drugs at all. I don't like illegal drug use but I wouldn't say that I want drug users to be executed, a little extreme to me but that's just me. Sherlock32 (talk) 20:57, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Soundgarden[edit]

Hey, just to clear things up. The Template:Infobox musical artist is more of a guideline. Because bands like Soundgarden (or 80s/90s Seattle bands in general) have quite a few bands in common, in my opinion it is best to keep it to those directly related. Matt Cameron was one of many drummers Skin Yard had and his tenure was quite short in comparison to other members. Thats just my view but maybe it's best to discuss it on the talk page? :) HrZ (talk) 10:43, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's ok, I understand better now. It just threw me off because some bands only have a couple of bands with one or more members from them as "related" and yet I've also seen bands with a bunch of random unrelated bands, that are only similar in musical style, listed as "related". It's not something I'm terribly concerned with tho. Sherlock32 (talk) 18:30, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well if you see articles with "related" groups only in musical style then they should be removed. You can cite the Template for this if needed! :) HrZ (talk) 14:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A Message from Sherlockian87[edit]

You, sir, are my new Wikipedia idol. I saw your name on the list of native English speakers right before my own and, out of curiosity came to your user page. As it turns out, we agree on a great many subjects. For example, I too am a Democrat, an American, and a fan of Sherlock Holmes, though not in that order, more like, Holmes fan, American, Democrat. In fact, there are only a few points on which we disagree, and even those are minor. Really, it's quite trippy. Anyway, I just felt that I should reach out to another Wikipedian, as a new member of the community. (Also, I hope you don't find this creepy, as that was very much not my intent. I'm also not hitting on you, don't think that either. This is a completely innocuous fan message, although it may seem weird at times, like stressing the fact that it is an innocuous fan message. But really, no malicious intent. Seriously. None at all.)

Anyway,

Sherlockian87 (talk) 12:16, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Nice to meet a fellow Wikipedian with similar tastes and views. And no, I don't think you're being creepy :) Sherlock32 (talk) 20:27, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Foo Fighters[edit]

I was going to make the edit that you made just now, but you beat me to it. The sequence seems to have been: (i) puerile edit, (ii) your entirely correct reversion, (iii) bizarre, mistaken, but good-faith reversion of your reversion, (iv) your understandably annoyed re-re-reversion. Please see what's currently at the foot of my talk page. Thanks. -- Hoary (talk) 00:03, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate it. :) Sherlock32 (talk) 00:18, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 17[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Spiritualized discography, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arista (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
