Illinois assessments
Yep, that was what I was talking about. :) Thanks. Your scale looks good to me, obviously, as you noted there are exceptions, and stuff like this is easily switched around if some people reasonably disagree. You may want to get with User:Kranar drogin if you haven't already, he did all of the backlog clearing in quality assessments, you two might make quite the team, and I think he has some sort of plan for some mass importance tagging too, for obvious articles, or categories, you'd have to talk to him.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:710nsns.jpeg)
Thanks for uploading Image:710nsns.jpeg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:42, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Van Halen
I saw your comment on the talk page. I think information on the Roth era 74-85 features too much information on albums and needs a little trimming. But your comment on the Hagar era album coverage...I see your point. It needs reshaping so we can add some details without making the page any more bloated than it already is.

It's now a HUGE 59kb long. When I started working on it months ago it was about 70kb. I trimmed it to 54, but keep finding more details to add. (The Elfoid 01:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC))

The basic problem is it goes into specifics on the post-Cherone stuff and could possibly be generalised a bit more.

However, I think it's worth considering the fact that half the interesting stuff relating to Van Halen is the music, half is the social side. Controversy, fighting etc.

The Hagar tour and delays to the new Roth tour can be cut down I agree. But a lot happened in that period between those events and before them that everyone was scratching their head over. In the Hagar era, it did reach a point where a new Van Halen album was 'just another Van Halen album' and each one lost noteworthiness. Did F.U.C.K show any major changes in the band or affect their career? I don't think so personally.

Hagar Reunion tour is the one to trim down. We can say Eddie was drunk, Sammy ruled, promoters sometimes lost money, tickets were overpriced and it was a fairly-long 80 dates. What else NEEDS saying, really? (The Elfoid 10:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC))

After some serious consideration, I think the reunion tours should be trimmed down. Not erased, just had a lot of the information ported into the tour articles. Could possibly do this with Gary Cherone era too, though I'm not so keen on that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Elfoid (talk • contribs) 20:20, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Walkthiswaybook.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Walkthiswaybook.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. --OrphanBot (talk) 10:07, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:158logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:158logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Zedla 03:45, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Swing State
Your opinion does not decide which state is a swing state and which is not. "But I'm sorry...Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas...these places are not going to go Democrat in 2008", that is clearly speculation and POV. An Indiana poll shows a Democrat leading a Republican so at this time Indiana should be listed a swing state. Just for reference Texas is not listed as a swing state on the article. Until you get some references that Indiana is NOT a swing state please stop reverting it. TheHoosierState89 (talk) 21:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Apology
My sincere apology. I misread the history on what you reverted, and have removed. Nevertheless, my removal of the song was not vandalism, and I don't appreciate it being called that. I hope we've both learned to be more careful from this incident. Again, my apologies. - BillCJ (talk) 08:28, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I see now that the user I reverted was an IP, and since he made two edits to add that item, the undo feature doesn't work. Instead I used the new Rollback feature to revert him, but this doesn't allow for edit summaries. I almost never use rollbacks on registered users, but on IPs it's usually OK. This is a case where it wasn't vandalism, so I should have manually reverted, and left an explanjatory edit summary. I'll have to be more careful with the Rollback in the future - I know I have hit it by accident before, but I don't think this was such a case. Well, I am glad we could get this settled on our own, even if it started out badly. Thanks for accepting the apology. - BillCJ (talk) 08:49, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks (regarding Duke Ellington)
Thank you so much for swiftly catching my horrible attempt at removing vandalism while actually re-adding vandalism at the same time. I don't know what went wrong, but it pains me that this befoulment of an article on one of my personal heros is now forever part of my edit history. ---Sluzzelin talk  05:14, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
