Richard Baker (Businessman)
Nice save. I've just closed the AFD as keep & am going to move the article to sort the capitalisation in the dab. Nancy talk  18:25, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No I'm not - Richard Baker (businessman) already exists - any ideas for a suitable dab? Nancy  talk  18:28, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Jaco Pastorius
Replied, thank you very much. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 23:04, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Dustin Robbins
Hi Catfish Jim, I'm afraid that I can't delete Dustin Robbins under A7 as there does appear to be some claim to notability. Whether that is enough, I cannot say. I would suggest taking this to AFD if you still feel that there is a problem with the article. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 05:07, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Isam Mostafa
Hi Catfish Jim, the artist that I have chosen to write a wikipedia article on is an American Hip-Hop artist living in Dundee. He has nominated for 3 NME awards. As you wanted references for why this wikipedia page should be kept. Here are some links to prove that the rapper Doe Boy has been nominated for 'NME awards  video's might not be able to be streamed because the artist might of removed the video's but theres the link. If you have any more problems please feel free to contact me again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Isammostafa (talk • contribs) 20:59, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Kenshiro Abbe
Hello Catfish Jim and the soapdish, thank you for your note about the Kenshiro Abbe article. It does seem that political/organisational factors did make things complex in the subject's later years. I appreciate the help you have offered and the links you have provided, and will include those documents in my research. As an aside, you might be interested to read the article on Gunji Koizumi, which I rewrote in February. Thanks again for your note. Janggeom (talk) 13:56, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello again, I notice that you have joined WPMA—welcome to the group. I think you have joined at a good time, as there are a few people actively involved at the moment (it had been quiet for some time). Currently, the main drive is reviewing martial arts article stubs and deleting them where appropriate. Janggeom (talk) 13:01, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting the Otani/Goodbody (1967) reference. Janggeom (talk) 01:01, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the link to the article translated by Syd Hoare; a pity he does not include the original reference. Janggeom (talk) 00:24, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the link to the article by Elio Lamagna. Janggeom (talk) 08:06, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

New photos
Hey, check out the Jaco Pastorius article. I've got a few other photos in mind, but I think the one next to "Portait of Tracy" is most fitting.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 22:09, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Uncle John & Whitelock
There are 3 kinds of photos hardest to find: decent photos of drummers, people who died young (and a long while ago), and band photos. That being said, I found a bunch of photos in Flickr of Uncle John & Whitelock, but the photographers nearly always want to only photograph the guitarists up front. I have never heard of this band, but am willing to try to obtain the pics. I found these that seemed best:, , , ,  Anyway, you think about them. There really are a LOT of photos of them on Flickr, but it's hard to find a band page, and a couple of those photos listed above are really small altogether. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 20:48, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Photos
I sent out requests to three people for the photos you requested. One has already responded and I've sent the criteria for changing the copyright to Creative Commons. Just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you!--Leahtwosaints (talk) 22:42, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * You are welcome. There may be more coming, particularly of individuals in the band too, I hope. Glad we Wikignome types get some appreciation! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 20:24, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * The photographer I contacted (I'd never heard of them, BTW), gave permission now for upload for this photo and also said he was willing to free up photos that we need in that particular photostream of his on Flickr. How far would you like to go with this?  Will you be starting articles for band members or putting together a photo gallery? I think you should look at the photostream, then tell me which if any photos you would like to use, since I don't have a clue who any of them are.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 13:25, 18 June 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, well since he did put a Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license on it, I'll upload it, and put it here, and leave it to you to add the keyboardist to the article. Perhaps you should consider adding each active member's name on the band site with a redirct back to the band site? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 18:54, 18 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I really think you should add enough text to place at least one of these photos in your article. Oh, BTW too, I've had some contact with a photographer of Laki Mera (primarily the female guitarist). --Leahtwosaints (talk) 02:37, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:There Is Nothing Else.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:There Is Nothing Else.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 "file" 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 "File" 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. Image Screening Bot (talk) 13:27, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

How kind of you!
That music barnstar is lovely, and very much appreciated. I don't get much credit as a participant or editor in the giant catalouge of articles I work upon, since often my time is consumed with hunting for obscure photos. Thank you so much for thinking of me. I think your article looks nicer, too. The photographer is happy and says to just let him know when you wish for more photos for the page! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 21:20, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Calmer  Waters  14:29, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Comment from the photographer for Uncle John
The photographer of Jamie Bolland wrote today, saying, "hi just had a thought, I see you have plenty of references etc. but if you need any more there's at least one review of the band here: Also there was a track on one of the isthismusic? cover CDs which could be added to the discography. And... there was an interview of some sort in the magazine - I would have to find the file and upload it onto the website for it to be any use, but it's a possibility if you're wanting to make the wiki page completely comprehensive!"

Just so you know! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 17:50, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Possible Creation of WikiProject Tayside and Fife
Hi! It would appear that you are a regular contributor to articles regarding Tayside and Fife. I have proposed the creation of WikiProject Tayside and Fife to improve the quality of all of the articles which fall into the scope of the project. I would hope that you and other contributors would like to indicate their interest in the project. If you would like to join please add your name on WikiProject Council/Proposals/Tayside and Fife. If the project gets a reasonable amount of interest I will create a draft of the WikiProject (after consultation with editors who are interested) in my userspace and then will create the WikiProject. Thank you.  Andrewmc   123  14:23, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
