The Moody Blues
Are you sure your recent edit of The Moody Blues is entirely fair? Given that this was a band that enjoyed most of its popularity in the UK and the US, US-centered phrasing is not entirely inappropriate (at the very least, the American POV should be given some heed). I agree, however, that the reference to the so-called British Invasion belongs in the body of the article, not in its first paragraph. -- Itai 17:45, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Re: Ken Doherty (engineer)
He went through a phase a few months back of receiving a lot of coverage, however I think it has all died down and he has probably receded to being "non-famous"

Infoboxes for snooker players
Thanks for the effort that you put into creating the infoboxes for all of those snooker players. However, they could probably look alot better if you added a little colour to them (eg: some shade of green). A very good page which lists loads of examples of infoboxes can be found at Infoboxes.

Snooker articles
Nice work on all the Snooker articles. Burgundavia 08:48, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * I frequently watch New Pages so I see lots of dross going by. It is nice to see a page that I have to do nothing to. Burgundavia 08:55, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Still at it I see. When is this epic project of yours going to be done? Burgundavia 09:24, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Sorry for not getting back to you before about the categorisation stuff. I was just using the Nigel Bond page as a test to see if I could get the snooker players category to format properly. If you are interested there as an in-depth article on this subject at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization  ChicXulub 22:48, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I'm sure we've made a mistake with the nationalities of many of the snooker players. All of the people who come from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland should have a British nationality (which should link to the United Kingdom). ChicXulub 14:52, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

John Williams
With limited apology, I deleted the Snooker referee from the disambiguation page for John Williams, - I'm trying to create at least a biographic stub for each name listed. If you've got enough info, then create the page John Williams (snooker) then we can add him back. Thanks... Lou I 22:50, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Could you say which license you are uploading photos under - whether they are GFDL, Public Domian etc. See Image copyright tags for a list. Thanks. Secretlondon 08:38, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

My source was the Historical Maritime Society. Of course, they may be wrong as well - I'll have a look next time I'm in Trafalgar Square. --ALargeElk | Talk 09:17, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * Excellent work with the flags. One question - is Popham 8 just plain white? If so, perhaps it might be better to put a hairline border round it - on a white background, it doesn't show up.--ALargeElk | Talk 11:22, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Wow! Thanks a lot for your work on that. I've looked over the pages and made a few changes (mainly splitting collaborations so each collaborator has a link to their own page). I'm leaving it to you to cut & paste as I don't want to steal your credit. Bonalaw 18:05, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Welwyn Garden City grammar
Good to see someone is on the ball regarding grammar.

On Japan and related stuff
The user 4.23.83.100 is trolling, and he has been at it for over three days without any change in his behavior. I was wondering if we can block his IP. He is doing it from a static IP, Evergreen Medical Group Inc. EMG-83-16 (NET-4-23-83-0-1) 4.23.83.0 - 4.23.83.255 and a company can probably do without the wikipedia. Any ideas on how to do it?

Mark Williams disambiguation
There are quite a lot of people in the world called Mark Williams. Any objections to me creating a disambiguation page and redirecting all the snooker links to a page like  Mark Williams (snooker player) ? --The Brain of Morbius 07:29, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I take issue with you restoring faulty information concerning the circumstances when a free ball is allowed. In particular, I'm referring to this edit. -- Dissident (Talk) 01:41, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Unverified image
Thanks for uploading the image I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GFDL, or  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the image and I'll tag it for you. Thanks, Kbh3rd 04:03, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Cat Stevens external links - silly?
Can I ask why you think my external links (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cat_Stevens&diff=0&oldid=9565618) were, in your opinion, silly? I looked up this article specifically to find out about Cats in the Cradle and, not finding the answer on Wikipedia, had to find out via Google. This misattribution is common, and a link (Did Cat Stevens sing/write "Cat's in the Cradle?") to further info would, in at least my opinion, be useful. I now realise that the second link to further info about Cats in the Cradle (Behind the Song: Cat's in the Cradle) was not relevant, and ought to have been reverted, but this irrelevence (silly?) criteria does not apply to the first link IMO. -- Slark

Cat Stevens wrote and sang dozens of songs. Why have a link regarding a song he didn't write? Anyway, catstevens.com is already linked. --Auximines 19:53, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

More Cat Stevens
I noticed you've edited and dealt with some issues regarding the Cat Stevens article in the past, and thought that the peer review I started might interest you. I'm going to try to get the article to featured status, and hopefully you can offer up some comments or suggestions here. Thanks in advance, Mrtea (talk) 17:53, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Twelve Level Cap and Rank System
At best, I think both are acceptable (although I suspect that rei is only becoming popular because most people nowadays only think of rei when they see that kanji.) For example, see this []. If you are studying Japanese in addition to Japanese history, you will quickly learn that there are often several accepted pronunciations for a lot of older terms and names. For example, I routinely see both Umayado and Umayato for Shotoku Taishi's given name. Anyway, if you want to add rei, that's probably okay, but please do not delete rai.-Jefu 07:33, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Strachan Open
Was just browsing here, and it contains the phrase "Most of the top sixteen players did bother to enter." Is this a typo that should be "did not bother", or do you mean "most of the top sixteen players entered nonetheless" ? Could you maybe clarify it please? Smb1001 18:56, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Remove link to insecure page?
Auximines, why did you remove my post ("Happy holiday everyone!")? You said, in the edit summary, that it was because I linked to an insecure page. But how is http://www.huumor.com/joke_3517 "insecure"? (It's OK--my post was not a question anyways. I'm just curious about how that joke page is "insecure".) --Bowlhover 00:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hidenokuni and other sumo bits
I might activate that list at some time in the next week or so, but I haven't worked on it in a while (and I've missed the coverage of the last few basho). There's a bit on Nathan Strange here. There's very little else on him, unfortunately ... and his short participation in the sumo world probably explains that well. -- Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 02:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Sumo-bio-stub
Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created a new stub type. As it clearly states at WP:STUB, at the top of most stub categories, on the template page for new Wikiprojects and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and whether better use could be made of a WikiProject-specific talk page template.

In the case of your new stub type, it is well named and sensible, but there is no indication that it will reach the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there about it. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha?  23:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:ELO A New World Record album cover.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:ELO A New World Record album cover.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 '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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 12:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Please be informed that I have a WikiProject Sumo Proposal outstanding. Please join me and others in trying to make wikipedia a better place for sumo! thanks XinJeisan 20:47, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Terao
Thanks for fixing Terao's Izutsu entry. I knew he never made ozeki, but I was so amazed that he wasn't even on the list that I got ahead of myself. He is still my favorite yokozuna who never was (and a lot of people's of course). Malnova 23:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Hitodama
Yes, I can see how silly the long lists are, however, I do not fancy the idea of deleting it without any discussion. I understand that most of the items in the list are just not hitodama at all but just look alikes, and that could be shortened. MythSearchertalk 16:07, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Discussion at manual of style/Japan
Hi Auximines. Prompted by your recent deletions of the trivial "In popular culture" sections in some articles, I started a discussion at the project:Japan talk page, and the discussion has since moved to the manual of style page, where, if all goes well, it is likely to develop into at least a basic guideline regarding these sections. I started the discussion this morning (well, European time, I'd say about 12 hours ago), had to leave the computer for the day and was too late in realising I forgot to notify you of this. Hope you don't mind the delay. Since you were the kikkake for my even starting the discussion (which is coming along great, seems there's plenty of people out there irked by these lists), it would be great if you contributed your views. Hope you don't mind me pointing you out in the opening of the discussion as I did :) TomorrowTime 18:14, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Nathan Strange
Thank you for starting that article on Nathan Strange-- very interesting. I remember seeing him interviewed on TV a while back in which he said the reason he left sumo was he "didn't like getting beaten up every morning". It was on one of the many "I Love The 80s" shows and it was taking a nostalgic look at Channel 4's sumo coverage. Don't suppose it counts as a reliable source though. I do, however, have a bit of info on him from a book called "Giants of Sumo" by Angela Patmore, which I'll add to the article. Pawnkingthree 09:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I know you're not around much these days, but if you ever pop back I thought you might be interested to know that Nathan Strange himself appears to have edited the article!--Pawnkingthree (talk) 22:38, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
