Toupee
Have you seen the debate going on over the "list of known toupee wearers"? Please weigh in on it if you can. Now that it doesn't violate BLP anymore, it's just WP:TRIVIA. VanTucky 22:48, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

27 Club
Thanks to answer me. I'm a beginner in wikipedia. I don't know much how to use this, so thanks to edit the page of 27 club and put my information there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

RfC Janis Joplin
I put in a request for comment on the section currently titled "Very Different From Hippies and Grateful Dead Fans" due to the reversions by the section's author. I have added a POV tag, the RfC and also reported him for 3RR violation due to the arbitrariness of his stance. If you care to, would you check the talk section and the section in question and add your comments? Thanks! Wildhartlivie 07:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

AlexNewArtBot's AlbumSearchResult
Hi Cherry, and thanks for helping chip away at the rock face of AlexNewArtBot's AlbumSearchResult pages. That list can get somewhat monolithic, so help is much appreciated. Keep up the good work.  tomasz.  16:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Question
Hi, I read your userpage and you wrote that you don't know how to cite things? Would you like any help? :-) Scar ian  Talk  09:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, what are you looking to cite? Websites are the easiest . Always remember to put a space between the weblink thingy and the description. So that's basically how you cite webpages. It might seem difficult at the start but once you get using it often it becomes second nature :-)
 * It doesn't matter if you get it wrong or whatever; no one learnt anything by not making mistakes.
 * Were you more looking to cite books?
 * Bah! I'm sorry if it was confusing. I'm a crappy teacher. Hope you're well, "Warm milk and laxatives". :-) Scar ian  Talk  18:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm a big fan too :-) Just thought I'd let you know that someone gets it. Sorry I didn't reply for a while, I got a phone call [You didn't need to know that but I just thought I'd tell you just so I sound important :-D]. Okay, I'll tell you how to cite books just as soon as I remember myself! Scar ian  Talk  20:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, citing books is pretty simple too. This template: . If you basically fill in the info that you want (or delete the sections that you don't want), it'll come up as a citation. It's much harder to remember than citing a website. But, "all in all" [I really gotta stop quoting lyrics], practice makes perfect. You'll get the jist of it if you keep using it. Template:Cite book - if you wanna read more.
 * Sorry I couldn't be of much help this time.
 * If you need me for anything else just message me :-) Have a great day! Scar ian  Talk  20:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

"last=" - surname of author "first=" - first name of author. I don't think you can cite the page no. with that template. I think it just points out to the reader that it's actually inside that book [Which isn't actually any good, to be honest, is it?]. No worries. What article are you thinking of working on? Scar ian Talk  20:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup.
 * Above is an example of what sorta stuff should go where. I actually think that sort of template should go in the notes/references section in general. I don't think I've shown you the right template for citing individual statements.

Delete the sections that you don't need and you'll have your book cite :-) - btw, sorry I keep screwing up :-D - that template has a page number reference btw, so you can add the page in. Scar ian  Talk  20:50, 27 November 2007 (UTC) }}


 * Be full of questions all you want! I have nothing better to do (Well... I do... but you're a Nirvana fan, ergo better than most things on the planet).
 * Okay, ISBN, that's pretty standard... it should be on the back of your book in big numbers [possibly close to the barcode]... that needs to be written in.
 * I reckon you could scrap all of them except "first, last, chapter, page, title, authorlink" ...basically you just delete all of the other sections except those and just fill in the blanks.
 * Btw, you're right about the "authorlink" thing... only fill that in if the author is notable enough for his/her own article :-)
 * And, yup, the "quote" section is quoting material directly from the book. But that be done by just putting quote marks around the text in the prose "My name is Pat" (book citation right here). :-)
 * If you need any more help don't be afraid to ask! Scar ian  Talk  21:10, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ja, no worries. Have a nice time. Scar ian  Talk  21:29, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Survey
Hi CherryFlavoredAntacid!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!
