Hi Chiok

Thanks for your input on the Neal Morse pages - you have been able to teach me a few thing I didn't know, Glad to have your input! Excuse me if this is not the place to get in touch - very new here myself.

Regards (Kevinalewis 14:23, 31 October 2005 (UTC))[reply]

No problem. I read Neal's message board, so that helps. Chiok 19:07, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merry Christmas From The Morse Family[edit]

Hi could you check out the action being proposed on Merry Christmas From The Morse Family (album) please and make your comments - not trying to influence you but - you'll see what I mean I hope. :: Kevinalewis : please contact me on my Talk Page : 10:17, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Objectivity[edit]

Your comments and criticisms are welcome, while your questions point to interesting things: as you noticed, objectivity has various meanings, among them what you qualified as "weak journalistic sense". It is, of course, the most common meaning, and certainly has a philosophical value. But there are others ones. The page certainly should'nt be turned into a Ayn Rand page. But - it's not personal susceptibility - i must comment that if i contributed to this page in the first place it is because like all of us i thought is was a disaster, which has no excuses as NPOV is a central policy of Wiki and should therefore be explained in philosophical terms; i don't know what's the use of it, but i'll simply add that i do have a philosophical degree! Anyway, Amerindianarts' version deals only with one definition of objectivity, which is legitimate, but does not account for all the other ones. Lapaz 17:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Transatlantic or TransAtlantic[edit]

If that is the case they have only recently changed it. Have a look at the cache of the site on Google. I am finding www.transatlanticweb.com/ by the way and using google.co.uk. It is possible that the name is undergoing change dues the issues with the "TransAtlantic Bank, Member FDIC. Equal Housing Lender" or "The TransAtlantic Business Dialogue (TABD)". However all the way through the actual bands actual career the band was known as TransAtlantic. What they do now as it has ceased to be an "operating company", is another thing. Sorry if caused a problem, just like us all I'm trying to seek accuracy. Perhaps we should ask one of the band themselves. I might be able to get through to Neil Morse and ask him a direct question. Would that help. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 09:55, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the google.co.uk cache of the Transatlantic website. All the 'Transatlantic's have 'a' lower case in the main text, except for the meta tags in the header of the HTML which are "TransAtlantic". The text on the page all have a lower case 'a'. Chiok 10:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Radiant Records, Neal's discography page, and Mike Portnoy's site discography have a lower case 'a'. Wikipedia is the only place I've seen the captial 'A'. This doesn't look like an issue we have to bug Neal about. Chiok 10:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok what I'll do is try to get an answer from Neal - one way or another that should settle the matter, Ok. Watch this space :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 10:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Four official sites versus one meta header... I think the matter is settled. Chiok 10:14, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not really - this is just where we have found the reference recently. I "know" it have been used extensively in the past. I'll do some more research and ask Neal. Let's not get hasty, I'll certainly abide by whatever we find out - not problem. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 10:23, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's weird. Twice when you replied, my comment about the other sites disappeared. I thought wikipedia doesn't let you skip edits. Anyway, 'Transatlantic' is spelt that way on the Transatlantic site, Neal's site, Radiant Record's site, and Mike Portnoy's site. Even if it was spelt a different way before, that is the way it is currently spelt on those four official sites. Chiok 10:30, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I upset your edits, not at all my intention. If you wish to revert the names, I will carry on with my research in the background. Maybe asking Neal. If you put it back I will not interveen. If I find out different, I'll just get back to you. How's that, sorry to be a cause for concern, accuracy was and is my only aim. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 10:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me this is currently resolved, at least until Kevnalewis receives contact from Neal Morse. I'll go ahead and move the page to Transatlantic (band) and take care of the links to the pages. But first, some breakfast. --Snaxe920 18:25, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kevinalewis asked the question on a members only Neal Morse message board and while Neal didn't reply (he's on tour), the people in the know said 'Transatlantic'. Chiok 23:39, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From what I have seen of the responses I agree with tou. Sorry for the agravation. I did think at the time it was correct, but I was wrong, sorry. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 07:30, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Send the Fire[edit]

I'm sure you are right I haven't got my copy of that yet only the "80's" Inner Circle release. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 17:03, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have either yet. Send The Fire was available during the European tour and was available from the Radiant website when they got back (March 10th). They shipped out the 80s CD a week later (the exact date will be on the packaging). Chiok 17:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Morse one.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading Image:Morse one.jpg.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:57, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:NealMorseHodgePodge.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:NealMorseHodgePodge.jpg. 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. BJBot (talk) 06:43, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

December 2009[edit]

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to List of best-selling video games. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. VG Chartz is not a reliable source, they pull all of their numbers out of their ass. TJ Spyke 01:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did. VGChartz is a reliable source. Nothing on Citing Source page rules out VGChartz. Please read their about page about their methods rather than just saying that they pull their numbers out of their ass. The article is two years out of date and really should be deleted unless it is updated.Chiok (talk) 07:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a discussion of it on the List of best-selling Xbox 360 video games talk page.Chiok (talk) 07:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable fan club album

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
