Joy Division
With regard to your recent edit to the Joy Division article. In British English band names are plural, therefore band x "are" or "were". I know this isn't the case in American English, but as the article is about a British band, we use British English. For other examples see Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Radiohead. Thanks.

 * Cool. I definitely didn't know that before. --Gimme danger 07:03, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Emma Booth (Actress)
Thank you for putting a note on my talk that the page may be speedily deleted WHILE I'M STILL WORKING ON IT. Pejorative.majeure 04:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't know you were still working on it. I apologize. --Gimme danger 04:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've gotten everything I could find from news articles. There will presumably be more information coming out as more feature films with her as a star hit the theaters. I do think she's notable enough according to the guidelines. Pejorative.majeure 05:50, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Since she's been in only one film and few television shows, the article strikes me as uncomfortably close to crystalballery. I would rather wait and see how she turns out thanprematurely introduce an article, but that's probably just my deletionist nerves twitching. --Gimme danger 06:05, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Above the law blog
Trust me dood Above the Law is a very widely read legal blog. it might be the number one legal blog in the world. I don't know how to check website ratings, but if you do you should check them and you will confirm. It's also noted in a bunch of mainstream media articles. I don't feel like creating a polished page for it, but by starting it, someone else will finish it. Dont' delete it dood. --Yardsspan 06:20, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has rather stringent requirements for including web sites or blogs. I don't feel like doing any major digging, but after a cursory search I can't find any second-party references to the blog nor have I found any awards that it's won. If you can make the case that the article fits one of these criteria, add a tag to the article and explain on the talk page.--Gimme danger 06:30, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

AfD already?
Wow, you put that tag on Dreadstar (graphic novel) the very same minute I created it. Give an editor half a chance, wouldya? ;) Dreadlocke ☥  06:57, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. As you can see from the above comments, I've been a little trigger-happy lately. I'm new to new article patrolling and haven't quite figured out how long to wait... or where to look to find out how long to wait. --Gimme danger 07:00, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, no biggie, I understand - and you probably aren't familiar with Dreadstar or the Metamorphosis Odyssey, from which the article is spun off. I guess you can't retract the AfD?


 * I'm still working on another Dreadstar related article, The Price (graphic novel). I'd like to get the whole 'Metamorphosis Odyssey into FA shape.  So it's a big project, and I've got few helpers.  Anyway, hopefully it won't get deleted.  Dreadlocke  ☥  07:17, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

LOL! I was just reading some of the other comments on your talk page, and man, you are quick on the trigger aren't you! Sorry, other posters, but some of your comments are pretty funny...but then it's after 3am here and should be in bed! Dreadlocke ☥  07:20, 9 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hopefully you won't mind, apology and all, I'm going to remove the AfD tag, but if you really feel strongly about it...you can put it back and we can go through the process. I don't want to worry about it when I'm supposed to be sleeping...;) Dreadlocke  ☥  07:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I have no objections to that. I should be sleeping too. --Gimme danger 07:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks man! Get some sleep! Dreadlocke  ☥  07:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Notable Kenoshans
THANKS for erasing so many famous Kenoshans from the NOTABLE KENOSHANS page, GD. Of course, if *you* never heard of the ones you disposed of, it's understood they can't matter to the rest of the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.123.81.17 (talk) 16:22, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. But I think that your thanks aren't sincere, so I'll explain. Lists of famous persons need to contain notable people. Notable, in the context of a list, means having a page on Wikipedia, since no references were included. I haven't heard of anyone on that list; in my edit summaries I explained that I was removing people without articles. The removed persons can always be added back when they have articles. If you have more questions, feel free to reply on the article talk page.--Gimme danger 17:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Straight Edge
LOL, Tryin' to, anyway. There's still a bit to go. I'm pretty sure I can handle the "criticisms section", but the history bit is...a bit daunting.

But yah, it was in dire need of some work. It was fairly obviously being used as a propaganda page. --ScreenwriterJeb


 * Actually take a look at it now, would you? I split up the "Backlash" part into "Violence and gang classification" and "Criticism" but most of the criticism stuff wound up being crap, and now it's kinda small.  Should it be restructured it again? --ScreenwriterJeb
 * I'm thinking that Backlash is a pretty good designation, at least until a criticism section is large enough to merit splitting. Yeah, the criticism section seems to have fallen flat, which is surprising. How hard is it to find someone panning straight edge in the press, alternative or mainstream? I have a bunch of other projects in the air right now and don't feel like dredging through that sort of schlock. But I think the only way to breathe life into the criticism section is to find examples of people actually criticising straight edge. I seem to recall some good interviews with MacKaye that might give up some good material. --Gimme danger 23:13, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Andrew being himself
Wow, Madalyn. —Preceding unsigned comment added by amalex5 (talk • contribs) 14:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You can sign your talk page posts with ~, btw. It's generally considered good manners. --Gimme danger 19:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Official Kinks Fan Club website
Hi, I'm PB and I have just finished the new Official Kinks Fan Club website. I was asked to do so by those that run the club and Dave Emlen et al will know about it. You are obviously very keen on Wikipedia (some great entries, BTW) but PLEASE, if you are the one who has been changing the link, it really is genuine. Go to the page and send email to the link. Bill Orton will confirm the changes - just check his details on the old site, too. If it isn't you, please accept my apologies. Thanks, Phil
