Welcome to Wikipedia! I don't remember writing that well when I was in high school! --User:LMS

good editors help so much :) thanks -dreamyshade

Yes, welcome. I read your harp article; nice job! --Stephen Gilbert

it's still in progress: links to come! -dreamyshade

Dreamy - hahaha, you beat me to it - chrz Manning

thanks, Dreamyshade! ;) --User:AV

+1 on harp and your other harp articles --Damian Yerrick

(what's a +1? see everything2)

Nice edit on Moonies definition, couldn't have said it better myself! And excellent work on Boy band: incisive, yet comprehensive. Are you sure you're only in high school? :-) --User:Ed Poor

yes I certainly am! :) some of us were addicted at a young age - makes it harder to quit, you know... I think User:Jzcool is in high school too.


 * Yes he is, but that is where the comparison ends... :-) User:MMGB


 * just let him find a place in Wikipedia, you'll see (I think) - dreamyshade

Hey Dreamy, nice work on tidying up Electric guitar - I was going to do it myself, but it seems to be in quite capable hands already :) Cheers - User:MMGB

Thanks for your assist on the Magna Carta article, Dreamyshade. : ) User:F. Lee Horn

you're welcome - since high school doesn't teach me a lot of things that Wikipedia doesn't have already, I have to content myself with copyediting :) - dreamyshade

Well, you should be picking up quite a bit of new information just fr om reading the articles posted on here. Some, if not most of the people who have the courage to write on Wikipedia (knowing that their writing will be subjected to intense examination) are very knowledgeable in the areas in which they write. Feel free to edit to your heart's content! :) User:F. Lee Horn

Dreamyshade, message for you on user:Larry Sanger. Larry has left the building, sadly. --Robert Merkel

Hi Dreamyshade, about your question on my user page--Nupedia is sort of in mothballs at present, so the issue is moot right now. If it revives, I would recommend that you do the very best you can on the article and just send a copy directly to G. B. Lane (the music editor). He should be able to advise you further. --Larry_Sanger

Hey Dreamy I was trying to figure it out what you had changed out on my user talk page but I've failed. :-) Yes, the days of the high school make me feel even younger again. I'll read your article about Quetzal soon. --XJam 2 Tuesday [2002.03.19] (0)

Harp
Hello! Thanks for your compliments on my changes to harp. I will probably take another go at it sometime but I don't actually have that much time for Wikipedia at the moment so it's really just when I've got some spare time/can't sleep/need to relax. I once had the chance to do quite a bit of research on harps and have quite a bit of information about them stored in the cobwebby corners of my hard drive. I'll dredge some more of it up some time. Talk to you again sometime! Mona-Lynn 11:04, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Myanmar Harp
Hi Dreamyshade

Your Harp page is very impressive. And thanks for tailoring the Myanmar Harp (Saung) page. I will talk to myanmar-image webmaster (i have contact with him since 2003) and upload a few myanmar harp pictures and video-audio links after, to make it more robust.

Thanks again. - Kyaw 01:54, 9 Sept 2005

Hola!
¿Cómo estás? That is really bizarre. I got a message from Doug Thrift, and then from his website I meandered over to yours. How did you find my Wikipedia username =)?

Have a great night, and maybe I'll be seeing you this weekend.

(I assume you know who I am?) iNaNimAtE 07:31, 13 February 2007 (UTC) PS: OK, so I tried to keep the consistent look and feel of your talk page (I know how critical it is), and it took like four edits. Sorry =).

del.icio.us edits
Hiya Britta! Like you said, it was the first website-article which had a section like that, plus, in my opinion, it didn't add anything valuable to the article. I think a small link would suffice. And you're right, I should've put in a summary of my editing. --Soetermans 07:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. I added a link back in there. Dreamyshade 08:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I just want to say thanks for the congratulations. That's so sweet! :-D Happy birthday for you too! Big step, huh? Turning 20 and all. It's all downwards from here :-P --Soetermans 06:23, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi-

I saw the edits you made to my page. Overall, they seem fine.

Bertrand Meyer
hi, thanks for drawing my attention to that. I came across the picture on commons - perhaps it is wise to delete the picture itself quoting that edit? There'd be no real point in keeping it if the person portrayed wouldn't want it used. Deadstar 17:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not on en: wiki much so I'm not going to check the VP to see what's going on with it. I'll put it up for deletion on commons (which is where I hang out these days), quoting what's going on here, and we'll see what they say. Kind regards, Deadstar 09:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for stopping by my page :)
I had checked out your blog and stuff earlier, and I did notice you were 20 as well :) Pretty awesome that you work for Delicious too!

Anyways, thanks for stopping by, and maybe we will talk again! James Mowery 04:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dreamyshade, Can you let me know what was wrong with the page? I thought it was well referenced and fairly accurate description. Also the site is very relevant in the categories suggested. Sorry, this was my first page! User:djhomeless, 23rd October 2007

Please don't delete red links
If you see a list of items in a page and some of them are red, please don't delete the red items. Red link means no further information is available in Wikipedia. Even if no further information is available about the item, the item should still be present in the list. For example, in a list of fruits, you find Apple is red linked, don't delete it because even if no further information is available about Apple in Wikipedia, Apple is still a fruit! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.107.119 (talk) 16:33, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

For example, in the List of Vector Drawing programs page, programs such as iDraw (an awesome program on Unix systems, opensource, has been around for a long time) was listed, red linked (because no further details were available on wikipedia) but now it is no longer mentioned, as if iDraw does not even exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.107.119 (talk) 04:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

666 edits
Hello, I'm just curious about three edits you made about six years ago which can be seen at the bottom of this page. Did you actually save those three times, or is it some kind of software bug? (It's funny because the first revision for that page is Wikipedia's 666th.)--71.107.136.165 (talk) 23:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Coprolite image
Ah, no problem; glad you've found it useful. By the way, you can often find suitable images if you just specify a .gov parameter in a "search within a site or domain" field of your search engine of choice. Óðinn (talk) 05:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Jonathan Ned Katz
Note from Jonathan Ned Katz, the historian. You deleted a large and important section of data from the entry about me that someone had begun. I think that is a major mistake since it is very useful for interested scholars to have as much detail as possible about a person, and an online encyclopedia does not have the space limitations that a printed version does. Here's what I said in the discussion secation of my entry.


 * This is a CV dump. Is that allowed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.11.79 (talk) 18:00, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Jonathan Ned Katz comments. Someone started this entry for me and I decided to fill it out to see what happened. I would like this to be an objective narrative of my work and life, and the fullest list available anywhere of my works and the life that made them possible.
 * This is an online encyclopedia, NOT a traditional biographical entry in a printed encyclopedia, therefore it does not have the same space limitations. It is very useful for scholars and anyone interested to have available as complete a list as possible of a scholar's works. That is what I have done on the entry for Allan Berube. So if you are going to delete portions of my works listed, you should also delete the full list of Berube's works. But I don't think you should do either.
 * So I ask the person who deleted a major part of the list of my works to put that list back. Thanks. Jonathan —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnkatz1 (talk • contribs) 20:21, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Social bookmarking links
Hello. I wonder if you can give me some information on the promotional links you removed from the article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking. Da'oud Nkrumah 03:28, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Dreamshade. I was doing some reputation management for a client and in doing so I used SEO Quake/Linx to investigate what was making the offending pages rank under my clients keywords. I noticed some inbound links from the social bookmarking article. I couldn't see that Wikipedia would be legitimately linking to a non notable companies ripoff report nor the sites which linked to the report. I noticed there seems a lot of vandalism of that article including what I guess are Bots. Anyway I noticed you removed links a couple of times for being spam. So, the sites I was investigating were all related to Ripoff Report and its owner. If you drop by seomoz.org you can check all the rogue seo techniques this site and its owner uses. I couldn't find the links from Wiki to their sites so I imagine they were removed at some point. However, it may be worth following these links to the end source.

Also, anyone needing help on an article just holler. Dnkrumah

About "hemerographical": you're right, it doesn't exist in English!
Hi, Dreamyshade!

Thanks a lot for your comment about "hemerographical". You're right: it doesn't exist in English. What I meant was "... to do some bibliographical research about some issues...", i.e., a research job in books, journals, newspapers, etc. It was a copy from Spanish "hemerográfica," which means "in newspapers and periodicals" and is different from "bibliográfica," which means "only in books."

I hope we'll keep in touch. Best regards from Mexico City!!

Notepadpage and links related to my-health-software.com
Thanks for taking care of that. I'd been meaning to look into it, and was happy to see you beat me to it. I searched for all the related links and found one remaining in Antihypertensive, which I replaced. Thanks again! --Ronz (talk) 17:00, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Santa Barbara County pages
I've been whittling away at some home town pages. I've started a few from scratch (linked from my user page), edited a few, added links and references to some, and contributed some photos. Especially aerial photos, since it's great to have any excuse for flying.


 * NOTE: Moved this list and discussion to my talk page.
 * Jw4nvc (talk) 05:08, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Shall we start a list of needed pages? In case the answer is yes, here are some ideas:
 * Painted Cave (community)
 * Painted Cave (rock painting site)
 * Thanks for the edits to this one. Jw4nvc (talk) 18:37, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Stow Park
 * Lake Los Carneros
 * Coronado Butterfly Preserve
 * Ellwood Mesa Open Space
 * (the above are mentioned on the Goleta, California page)

Jw4nvc (talk) 01:35, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Camino Cielo Road (see San Marcos Pass)
 * Fremont's Cannon (see San Marcos Pass)
 * Gibraltar Reservoir (see Santa Ynez River)
 * Cold Spring Canyon (see Cold Spring Canyon Arch Bridge)
 * Santa Ynez Fault (see Santa Ynez Mountains)
 * Old San Marcos Road (see California State Route 154)
 * Others??

Thanks for starting a list! I believe that it'd be good to consolidate the related items into fewer articles, at least until we gather enough material to support splitting them. For example, it's probably helpful to add material about Cold Spring Canyon to the bridge page at first, rather than asking readers to start looking between two short articles for context and details. And argh, sorry I haven't responded to your emails yet. My energy for Wikipedia things falls off somewhat when I get back to school, but it'll probably come back during other vacations. Dreamyshade (talk) 05:19, 30 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Glad the list is welcome. :)
 * I've just now copied my list to put on my own Talk page, because changes there show up when I log in. That way you (or anyone else interested) can go there to suggest new topics or how to approach these. I like your idea of combining stuff into fewer topics, and CSCyn in particular might never rise to the level of needing its own page. I was hoping you'd suggest a page about one or more of those bridges you have great photos of.
 * I'd still like to meet sometime, so please let me know in email or on my talk page when you'd like to do that. Jw4nvc (talk) 00:50, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Favicons
In your edit to the article Favicon on February 6 you deleted not only the EL that Special:Contributions/89.122.145.34 added that same day (and see his contributions record that he is likely to be a spamer and has allready been warned), but also the one I added on January 19 after giving preliminary notice and explanation on the talk page. Therefore I restored that EL and would like you to read the talk page first. Have a nice day. Debresser (talk) 12:48, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Sproose
Hello, could you tell me which part of the Sproose article is causing the problem?

I will change it asap. Thanks User:mbelaunde


 * Hi, thanks for responding to me, I have read the COI guidelines and edited the article (removed mention of partnerships) and other stuff, please let me know what else I can do to get that tag removed from the top of the page, i want to follow all the guidelines, and i won't edit the page any further after this, i appreciate your help mbelaunde 68.227.33.46 (talk) 21:13, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello again, thanks for all the tips... as you can tell, i'm not a pro at this, but slowly learning! I would really appreciate if you could edit the page, i will wait for someone else to do it as well, but i would really like to get it going and all cleaned up.

Thanls again for all your help i really appreciate it! mbelaundeMbelaunde (talk) 03:05, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Photo of flip-flops
It was written on the talk page years back: "I guess that you wouldn't want to to throw out that pair. It wouldn't do these sandals justice after they've starred in a photo in a Wikipedia article!!!" What happened to these fellows? Are they still around? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flip-flops_(worn).jpg

UC Santa Barbara pictures
Hey, noticed that you were a student at UCSB and seem to put images onto Wikipedia. Lately I've been trying to edit a bunch of articles dealing with UC Santa Barbara, mostly athletic related, which were lacking pictures. If possible, I'd love to work with you to make the UCSB articles much better with the inclusion of some pictures. Please let me know if you're still in the Santa Barbara area and willing to help. Thanks! GauchoDude (talk) 06:38, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries, I'll keep it nice and simple for you :) Impressed with the quick response!  Anyhow, some pictures I know I definitely need now are:


 * Caesar Uyesaka Stadium (home of the baseball team)
 * more pictures of the Thunderdome (can't believe there's only one!)
 * Harder Stadium (again, only one!)
 * Rob Gym


 * Would be nice to also have pictures of:


 * ICA (Intercollegiate Athletics) Building
 * Campus Pool or whatever its called by the bus loop
 * softball diamond
 * the Tennis Courts by the ICA building
 * the track by the ICA building


 * That should hold me over for a while. Once I get around to updating articles about normal, boring stuff like the UCen, Davidson Library, the dorms, etc. I'm sure I'll hit you up again.  GauchoDude (talk) 07:11, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be perfect. If you could get maybe like 2 or 3 of each, I think that would just about do it.  No rush or anything, let me know when it's done so I can update the articles.  Thanks!  GauchoDude (talk) 04:44, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Magnolia CMS
Not sure if this is the right way to contact you - saw your comment (talk) about COI for Magnolia CMS. I have added a user page declaring who I am. I strongly believe that the content I wrote is written in a very neutral tone and lists facts and references. Let me know if there is anything else to do so you can remove your comment on the page. Thanks - BK Bkraft (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC).

Any update on this? Regards Boris —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.72.112.162 (talk) 09:42, 11 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi! The article for Magnolia (CMS) isn't particularly good or bad -- the tone and details are neutral-sounding, but the sources are somewhat weak and the article reads as a list of accomplishments instead of a more balanced narrative-style article. I don't think it's high-quality enough yet to remove the notes on top of the article, but if some other Wikipedia editor took up an interest in the article, it could be improved sufficiently. It's best to avoid editing it yourself though. I hope this answers your questions. Dreamyshade (talk) 11:05, 11 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I revised the article to be more balanced after reading the COI and neutral point of view guidelines and added it to the talk page of the article for review and suggestions. Could you take a look and see if this is better/neutral enough to remove the "advertising" note? I haven't yet added the citations, so please let me know if you would want to have those in place before reviewing it and I'll add them in. I'm not sure if I should also post on the COI Noticeboard to have others review it and remove the COI tag, so please could you advise what the correct practice is. Many thanks.

Feedback Dashboard task force
Hi Dreamyshade,

Since you were a part of the WikiGuides project, I thought I'd give you a heads-up about a new way you can help/mentor newbies on en.wiki: we've recently released a feature called the Feedback Dashboard, a queue that updates in real time with feedback and editing questions from new registered contributors who have attempted to make at least one edit. Steven Walling and I are putting together a task force for experienced Wikipedians who might be interested in monitoring the queue and responding to the feedback: details are here at Feedback Dashboard. Please sign up if you're interested in helping out! Thanks, Maryana (WMF) (talk) 21:38, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
