WikiProject query
Hi, just wanted to run something by you as I noticed you are a somewhat frequent editor of the Mark Knopfler article. Do you think there would be any interest or need for creating a WikiProject Guitarists? I imagine something focused on cataloging all notable guitarists with their own articles, including things like: What do you think? Aguerriero ( talk ) 14:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Andrew
I noticed the post (belatedly) on the Mark Knopfler page. I wanted to work on his page, but thought his popularity would bring more editors, and instead I've been slowly working on the Derek Trucks and Cat Stevens articles, and adding info boxes and photos to pages that lack them. My userpage has a list of musicians' biographies that I'd like to see expanded. This would be one, but I'm afraid it would be massive. Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam (and his controversies) have worn me out because of his lengthy career. What are you currently editing? Perhaps I can help. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 10:45, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Andrew Spinner! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Disambiguation link notification for November 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Adventures of Tintin (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Antagonists (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:59, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Glass (John Illsley album)
Hello, and thanks for creating this article. It's been tagged for notability for 5 years now. Could you please look it over and see if you think it can be shown to meet WP:NALBUMS? Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 21:36, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 01:42, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
