Re: WikiProject Enigma
Not sure there needs to be a full-fledged project on this but expanding the articles is always good. Crystallina 22:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Enigma cover art
I have a few CDs that you don't appear to have scanned (some of the rarer ones)... would you like me to try and upload them? Also, in case you were interested, I found the source of the art from the Principles of Lust cover. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Dante, thanks for adding the info for the "Principles of Lust" single cover, wasn't aware of the art origin until you pointed it out there. :P Anyways, by all means do please upload the scans of the covers!

WikiProject Enigma
Hey Andy --

I've been absent from Wiki since December, but I'm starting to return back to work slowly but surely. Your project sounds like a good idea, and I'd be happy to join you! Enigma's newest album is due out later this year, so I eagerly look forward to it!

User:Andylkl/Gallery
Hi, please turn the fair use images on this page into a list of links or something like that as soon as possible. Wikipedia policy doesn't allow fair use images to be displayed in userspace (see Fair use), and acording to this report you have 49 of them on that page (if you have fair use images on other userspace pages please fix those too). Thanks in advance. --Sherool (talk) 20:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Sherool, thanks for your note at my talk page. I changed all of the fairuse images into links so that it'll not be displayed there. The rest of the images are not on the fairuse licence though. Regards, Andylkl [ talk! | c ] 09:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC) (Note: Reply left on user's talk page.)

F1 portal featured article
The F1 portal (in which I assume you have some degree of interest, as your name is listed on WikiProject_Formula_One) is intended to have a regular rotation of a 'featured article'. I've swapped a few in and out over the last couple of months, but I think it would be better if there were more of a community attempt at deciding this, proposals, votes, that kind of thing. So - why not pop over to Portal_talk:Formula_One and make a suggestion. Ta. 4u1e 00:22, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Selected articles on Portal:F1
Hello again.

I dropped notes round a while back to those who have listed themselves at WikiProject_Formula_One to ask for suggestions for selected articles on portal:Formula One. There was a pretty good response, both in terms of how it might work and of articles suggested. Damon Hill came out with the most support and was brought up to Good Article standard after a lot of work by Skully Collins before going on as the F1 portal selected article a couple of weeks ago. It is now at Featured Article Candidates as a Featured Article candidate (why not drop by and see if you can help polish it further?).

Several people who responded to the original request suggested that a monthly or bi-weekly 'Selected Article' could act as a catalyst for an improvement drive to get more articles up to a higher standard. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I started, this seemed to work pretty well for the Damon Hill article, so I've drafted up a process for doing this more regularly. See Portal_talk:Formula_One/Management_of_selected_articles for details. Essentially the suggestion is that we vote for an article to improve every couple of weeks and at the end of the improvement process the article goes on the portal as the new 'Selected Article'. I'd be grateful for any comments on how this might work - I'm sure some of you are more familiar with things 'Wiki' than me - as well as your votes for the next candidate (by 16 July).

You may also want to help with the article Gilles Villeneuve, which was the next most popular after Damon Hill. The idea is to try and get it up to GA standard by 16 July and then put it on the portal as the 'Selected Article'. I hope you can help! 4u1e 15:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Proposal on Notability
Because you're a member of the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians, I'm notifying you that the inclusionist proposa Non-notabilityl is in progress to define the role of notability in articles. Please help us make this successful! Also note the proposal Importance is a deletionist proposla that seeks to officially introduce notabiltiy for the first time. Make sure this is defeated! --Ephilei 04:38, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Michael Cretu The Rivers of Belief.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Michael Cretu The Rivers of Belief.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. meco 07:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi,Andylkl. I would like to say thanks because you reverted the TV9 (Malaysia). Actually, I did the wrong thing by making a redirect page from Channel 9 to TV9. Thank you. acs4b (Talk) 03:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request
This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 21:15, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject query
Hi there, I am doing some clean up on the list of proposed WikiProjects. I noticed that WikiProject Enigma has been listed for more than 60 days. Unless you object, I would like to remove it from the list since it is unlikely to receive further feedback. Thanks! -- Aguerriero  ( talk ) 18:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Removal of Sandbox content
Hi there. I would like to ask the favor of removing the album infobox from your sandbox. The reason for this is that page shows up in Category:Non-standard album infoboxes, and it is unnecessary. Thanks. -- Reaper  X  17:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Whoops, I just removed the infobox. Thanks for the reminder. :) --Andylkl [ talk! 17:48, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Tour de Langkawi
Articles in the New Straits Times by Arnaz are not a reliable source balanced fact-based reports relating to the Tour de Langkawi. It's bets not to rely on them at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.83.203 (talk • contribs)


 * Thanks for informing me of your edits, but I'm afraid that I have to revert them. You have to back up your claims that the NST have printed wrong facts about the race. Current Wikipedia policy is that we accept edits that are backed up with a reliable source. --Andylkl [ talk! 18:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

The NST stories are not reliable source of facts as normal journalistic practice of verification and balance are absent. You may report what has been written & who said what, but it is wrong to given the statements the standing of being fact.

Consider this article: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=features/2006/langkawi_future

The law may be different in Malaysia, but where I come from, you could be joined in a libel action for repeating statements that are untrue. So, you personally should be very sure of the facts. You cannot rely on them being published in NST as a defence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.83.203 (talk • contribs)


 * You should also note that the sections which you've previously entirely removed had 3 sources: NST, CyclingNews.com's editor, and lastly BERNAMA, which is Malaysia's national news agency. I do not quite understand the urgency of a libel threat when all 3 sources seem to be consistent in their reporting. And to make things clear, I am not part of the editors who inserted the info regarding the fiasco in the LTdL article. --Andylkl [ talk! 18:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

The three sources are consistent as Bernama and CN's earlier stories are both based on biased reports by Arnaz in NST. It's incorrect to single out Simon Donellan without knowing the role of Datuk Wan Lokman in the story. The facts of the story are much more complicated and are not entirely in the public domain.

The Wikipedia entry should stick to undisputed facts, such as how long the event has been organised, where it goes, what the results were.

Opinions and disputable assertions based on media reports, especially those in NST may be linked but I do not think it right to give them the same prominence as actual facts.

I'm not familiar with how WikPedia quality is controlled, so sorry if the errors are not yours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.83.203 (talk • contribs)


 * By all means, feel free to edit the article as you see fit. I do not admit that I fully know the background scenes. However I still do not recommend outright deletion unless you've found new evidence that directly refutes the previous information. --Andylkl [ talk! 19:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
