Message from WikiProject Punk music
Hello!

You may be interested to know that WikiProject Punk music has recently undergone a major revitalization. Please visit the project page to see our new look and check out some of our helpful new features, such as the Assessment Department and the Collaboration of the week. There are also a number of tasks on our Things to do page that you may be interested in helping with.

We are currently holding a roll call to help gauge how many active project members we have. Please visit the project's talk page and add your signature to the roll sheet to express your continued interest in the project. Also, if you have not already done so, please take a minute to add your name to the Participants page along with a brief summary of your punk-related interests, so that other project members will be better able to collaborate with you. If you do not add your signature to the roll sheet by November 30, 2008 your name will be moved to our list of inactive members. We may also take the liberty of removing the project userbox from your userpage if it appears there, to prevent you from automatically appearing in Category:WikiProject Punk music members. Of course you are free to rejoin the project and re-add the userbox at any time if you would like to become active in the project again.

Thank you and we hope you will continue to support WikiProject Punk music!

Only a Northern Song
Nice work on "Only a Northern Song". I reluctantly added the unreferenced template when I saw an edit that added some POV to the article and discovered how bad it was. I was reluctant because I'd rather remove the POV stuff and add some sources instead of adding the template and leaving it for someone else to do, but I just didn't have the time. I came back later and you've done a major fix. Bravo. As it turns out, I don't have the Southall book and so your fix is far better than what I could have done. &mdash; John Cardinal (talk) 04:36, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi DaveG12345. I've started a new section over at Frankie Goes to Hollywood on a topic that I think you've commented on before (a long time ago). I'd be grateful for your thoughts now. Best regards, --P LUMBAGO 08:26, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Frankie Goes to Hollywood photograph
Sure, feel free to change the photograph back. I think we could keep my replacement photograph somewhere in the article. Edward (talk) 14:32, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of songs in English labeled the worst ever
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of songs in English labeled the worst ever. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/List of songs in English labeled the worst ever (5th nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:20, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Alexei Sayle
Hi Dave - love the new articles! A while back someone added that he appeared in Not The Nine O'Clock News as 'Comedy Chestwig'. Do you know if this is true? I'm a fan and I wasn't aware of it. There's nothing about it in the info on his website. If it's untrue then the statement should be deleted. I'm asking you as you may know more about Sayle than me.

Fair use rationale for File:SmithsPromoPhoto TQID 1985.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:SmithsPromoPhoto TQID 1985.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. JD554 (talk) 11:56, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Non-free use rationale should help. You need a fair use rationale for every article the image is used in and you need to be explain in each rationale how the image meets the non-free content criteria for each article. --JD554 (talk) 12:58, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice work, that's one of the best written rationales I've seen in a long time! --JD554 (talk) 06:49, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Only a Northern Song
Re: cites. What exactly did you not like? "Cited in" for Southall is not standard practice; editors should cite what they saw. If Southall quotes some other author, we cite Southall unless we review the original, and then we cite the original in place of Southall. For MacDonald, I verified all the cites in my 2005 copy, and as far as I know, there has been no "2008" edition. (A 2008 reprint of the 2005 edition is still the 2005 edition.)

In general, the cites are sloppy and unprofessional in the state you left them after your revert. &mdash; John Cardinal (talk) 02:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd like to tone-down my criticism of the present state of the cites. They are not "sloppy", but they are not what they should be. &mdash; John Cardinal (talk) 02:34, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Re: your comments on my page:
 * Like you, I prefer "p. 28." over "p28", but the latter style has been adopted by many of the other Beatle article editors, and I've tried to stay consistent. We can use the version with the period and space if you prefer.
 * The "p. 216" in the References section was sloppy on my part; I moved the full citation version from the article and forgot to remove the page number which no longer applied.
 * It's not that "cited in" is not allowed by WP; I don't think it's against policy and I bet it's done in other articles. Still, it's best to avoid it. When used, "cited by" should be part of a citation where the editor saw source "A", and "A" explicitly identified source "B" as its source: "A citing B" or "B cited by A." The editor adding such a citation evidently wants the reader to understand that the material being cited is really from source "B", which usually has a better reputation or is more direct than source "A". It's frowned upon because the editor adding such a citation didn't see source "B" first-hand&mdash;if he did, he could cite it directly&mdash;and so we are still relying on source "A" and the reader should assess the material based on source "A"... which they can do just as well without the inclusion of source "B". None of that may apply in this case. The citation didn't indicate an original source, an so you may have been simply indicating that Southall quoted Harrison. If so, you don't have to include the "cited in" part: standard practice is to simply quote the source where the quote appears. The statement in the article indicates who said it.
 * Thanks for being open to some changes. I'll update the refs again. Let me know what you think. &mdash; John Cardinal (talk) 13:55, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Twotribes nixon.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Twotribes nixon.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator 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. Stifle (talk) 15:02, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi DaveG12345!

I am working on the Hungarian version of "The Smiths page" here on Wikipedia. I would like to use the picture about the group you used in your article. What should I do not to violate any rights by using that picture? please help me. Thanks.T-reborn — Preceding unsigned comment added by T-reborn (talk • contribs) 13:23, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Re: Port Vale
May I ask why you reverted my edit? My update on the Port Vale kit is correct for the 13/14 season. --RichardOwen97 (talk) 10:27, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Re: Port Vale (not)
Apologies, clicked wrong person. I didnt see the third kit source, so thanks for pointing out my mistake. However, my update on the stripes were correct, so I put that back ;) --RichardOwen97 (talk) 10:40, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Alex Nicholson
Just to let you know, I moved the page you just created to Alex Nicholson (football), as that is more in line with the title policy. If anyone else creates an article in the future about a different AN that plays football, that article would be titled with the birthdate in it. Good job, by the way. You should now go insert Wikilinks to your new article in appropriate articles! Have fun! Gtwfan52 (talk) 18:54, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ryan Croasdale, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lancaster (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
