Crying Child
Sodding 'ell, I've just been laughing me tits off at your little intro.

Somehow I lost all the early stuff, including your Barnstar. Crying child? Give it a good slap and put it in the airing cupboard in total darkness for an hour—that'll shut the little monster up. Replace tears with fear, that's what I say.... Your friendly child councillor 18:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

If I remember correctly, we had a bit of a run-in at the start of my editing, did we not? "Memories, in the corners of my shed..." (Barbara Strauss-&) Life should be like that - get all the shit stuff out of the way first (like piles, anal warts, industrial accidents, girlfriends shagging yer best mate, endoscopes up yer shitter and down yer gullet, and getting a right good kicking...) and then it's all days of wine and roses. (Which is a problem, because wine makes me throw up, and roses make me sneeze.) Such is life. andreasegde 19:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Matt Lucas.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Matt Lucas.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 13:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
The Beatles trivia is now "The Beatles' miscellanea". Let the trivia zealots boil their heads in oil... andreasegde 21:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)


 * There's a massive difference between "Stuff what I done - Mummy, Mummy, Look what I've made", which is very humourous, and "Articles I have given birth to" (plus a lot of other ghastly stuff about how wonderful and unique he is). No, it's not you, Daddy Crestville... :) andreasegde 16:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Joseph's Well
I have just had a strange thought: I always thought 'Joesph's Well' in terms of a hole in the ground that one hauled water from, but now I think it could be construed as "being in good health". If you ever find yourself in the Infirmary, you will never have visitors, as they will take one look at the pub sign and then go home, or into the pub. (This line of thinking is to be reccomended whilst one is sitting on the 'big white telephone'.) IZAL was terrible toilet paper 21:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

The beat-less 'article'
So, it's now the Beatles, is it? Every mention of The Band should be changed (in the middle of a sentence) to the Band. "At the gig, Bob Dylan and the Band.... which means his 'backing band', and not The Band. Explanation:


 * "I saw the Band tonight."
 * "Which band?"
 * "The Band!"


 * "I watched the beetles tonight."
 * In your kitchen again?"
 * No, The Beatles!

It's question of emphasis... andreasegde 17:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Hey, folk are going to start calling you Respectable Joe soon! Thanks for the spot of refereeing.
 * It is a lot harder to change policy than it is to defend it. Your help at the policy talkpage (er, I'm bored with making all the links - they can be found at mine and other editors talkpages) would be helpful. To be honest, though, it is going to have to be civil and all that stuff, cos some of the other lot will just use poor behaviour as an excuse to disregard valid points. If you can't find your own references or ideas, just support the ones you agree with.
 * Actually, you may be able to help! Do you have any siblings who are doing, or have recently done, English Language GCSE? Or any of your fellow students. Can you find any decent course books which show how proper nouns are dealt with? Whilst style might vary with fashions, education sticks with the standards of the age. A course reference book may well help our cause. LessHeard vanU 23:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it's important. Upper case, lower case, I really don't think it matters. There's no need to argue over it really. There are bigger problems with the article--Crestville 23:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Bubble act
Hello, and thanks for the message. I'm glad if my comments were some help; if the use of "deconstruct" in connection with Vic and Bob was from the documentary, it might be worth giving a direct quotation.

WikiProject Rock music invitation
Hello WikiProject Alternative music member. WikiProject Alternative music, in my eyes, has proved to be successful "improving the encyclopaedic coverage of articles relating to alternative rock", and improving their quality as well. One specific example I have witnessed is The Smashing Pumpkins article. The page has gone from a mediocre work, to GA status, to FA nomination. Only appropriate, as the Pumpkins are undeniably one of the most influential alternative rock bands on the 1990's and beyond. This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently ressurected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and not only be a member of alternative Wikipedians, but the rockin' ones as well. Rock on. -- Reaper  X  03:06, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

The Bradford Sweet Poisoning
... which somebody moved to Bradford sweets poisoning while I was in the middle of copy-editing. A wrong move, in my view, which I've queried on the talk page.

A good start - as well as fixing some typos, you'll notice I've removed a number of links - there is really no point in linking to all those random 19th century Bradford people, because none of them are going to get articles, unless they're notable for some other reason. In particular Dr John Bell does not appear to be any of the 17 people listed an the disambiguation page John Bell!

I've also merged your repeated references to the same source by using named tags - have a look to see how I did it. A real reference to the Bradford Observer would be enormously more valuable than a reference to a mailing list on which somebody's quoted it: there's a complete run of Bradford Observer on microfilm in Bradford Central Library.

I've also mentioned a couple of specific matters on the talk page. One more: I know that officially there's an Arndale Centre in Bradford, but does anybody refer to it as that? I had to Google it to find which building it was - I've only ever heard it called the Kirkgate Centre.

--ColinFine 23:28, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * No it's not back at its original name: it's just that there's a redirect automatically left when anybody moves a page. I accept Dragonfly's arguments about 'the' and capitalisation, but I'd still prefer 'sweet' to 'sweets' - I may just move it again.


 * You didn't answer my question about 'druggist' - was it a contemporary term (or has it entered UK English while I wasn't looking?) To my mind it's American for 'pharmacist' or (more colloquially) 'chemist'. --ColinFine 16:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Read his (Mal Evans) page. He was their dogsbody, and Macca didn't let his wife sell the lyrics he collected. Read the diaries on the external links page as well.


 * "Despite going everywhere with The Beatles, and showing their devotion by carrying out whatever demeaning errands The Beatles wanted to be done, Evans and Aspinall were sometimes reminded that they would never totally be a part of the group. One sarcastic look, or an unkind word from one of The Beatles would make them realise what their position really was." ThE bEaTLeS aka andreasegde 17:46, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mate
Well, I think, there is a little contradiction in your own words, if you don't mind. From one point you are saying why it should be there in the article, and from the other - why it should not . Which is a bit funny and confusing. I think it is a bit early to say anything specific about this new album. So, let's say. I'd rather put something specific, because news surrounding upcoming albums are subject to a rapid change. Yeah, I suppose we can say that at the time of the album release. Why not? But, let's say it at that time, not to say it now, because in a month or two we will hear more and it might be a little bit different. You know how boastful is Noel. Let's wait.

By the way, I am considering a second bachelor's degree in England for the year 2008/2009. I saw that you are from Yorkshire. Can you recommend some decent university at your place? I am interested in learning and earning a degree in cultural anthropology. If you can recommend something - that would be very, very helpful and kind.

Thank you.
