DYK for Garageland (song)
Thank you from me and the wiki Victuallers (talk) 00:02, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks mate :-)  benzband  ( talk ) 10:03, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations Benzband, and... When you have time, we can work together to expand its lead section (per MOS:LEAD) so we can include it within Portal:The Clash/Selected articles section, reach (at least) the B (or better) A-Class (the article has been mostly reviewed by the DYK process), and make "Garageland" eligible for both the Version 1.0 Editorial Team [sets of Wikipedia articles for offline release (CD, DVD, printing...)], and hopefully for Featured articles. Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday season and a wonderful new year. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 09:51, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Pjoef :-)  benzband  ( talk ) 10:03, 4 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh /o\... it was NOT necessary (to award me the barnstar)... but greatly appreciated!!! Thank you for your kind words about me. That is my intention, to expand the English Wikipedia in the "kindest" possible way. All the best! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 10:41, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

May I have advice, Quasar Barnstar?
Oh, for a bit of help. 1. Can I add ribbons for barnstars received to my own talk pp. and how do I do it? 2. How do we get a ribbon for the Quasar? It should be a blue ribbon with thin silver edges and the Quasar-type design in the centre, like a rosette. I seek your help because the Quasar doesn't seem widely available and I have no idea how to introduce a ribbon idea for a star "in limbo" like mine. Djathink imacowboy  23:51, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I forgot to ask, please come over to my talk if you wish to respond. Cheers. Djathink  imacowboy  23:51, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Yes, but that was intended. Thanx anyway :) benzband  ( talk ) 11:11, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Nawesome
In what way did you coin this word? Simply south...... dropping heavy trees for 5 years 13:06, 28 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't coin anything. It's a real quote (here on wikiquote) benzband  ( talk ) 13:30, 28 December 2011 (UTC)


 * According to MOTD, you did. ;p Simply south...... dropping heavy trees for 5 years 17:41, 28 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry if i made it appear confusing (seemed clear to me but obviously wasn't)... however i have added a little note to the nomination stating that it was this guy who said it and not me (though i did think you'd see when hovering over the arrow :D) ~ benzband  ( talk ) 01:14, 29 December 2011 (UTC) ''....trying to catch all those trees Simply south keeps dropping on me :)

Quasar
Djathink imacowboy  (yell)  01:59, 31 December 2011 (UTC) Oh the heck with it, I mean here. Djathink imacowboy  (yell)  02:01, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Quasar needs work...
Mind telling me why I was not notified of this discussion? I'm not angry or anything... but don't you think I should be in the loop of this issue? Djathink imacowboy  (yell)  04:36, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Quite right. (i'll bear that in mind next time ;-) benzband  ( talk ) 08:42, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

what's wrong with a infobox in a section ?!
There is nothing wrong with including a infobox in a article section, see History of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi for example that article includes a section infobox about coup of 1969 Arab editor 9212 (talk) 16:49, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
 * ✔️ ok —BTW it wasn't me who removed it. benzband  ( talk ) 17:03, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
