You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Beefheart edits
Hi Sir Richardson I note your corrs to my 1st para here Captain Beefheart. The main point I am trying to make early here (I touch upon it in a later edit) is the FACT that the band are titled in two different forms. "His" & "The". Whilst it may seem superficial at first glance, it does seem to have profound effect on how some discographies of his work are constructed. "The" is the primary reference, whilst "His" was a short-lived 'fad'. It is also a distinct 'tracker' to the release of archived works. It also strongly indicates Beefheart's emergence from simply being a band member & a recognition of the members 'in their own right' i.e. "Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band" to "Captain Beefheart" & "The Magic Band" Maybe you can consider? Thanks Webcor (talk) 22:59, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

PS: You are aware that Janet is later to become writer & co-writer of works? (aka Jan Van Vliet) That's the reason I introduced her (& the timing of their marriage) which coincides with his solo departure... Webcor (talk) 00:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Sir Richardson Thanks for the style pointers. A veritable 'newbie' & not yet 'Wiki literate, I shall apply myself to it forthwith. Guidance always much appreciated. Question: Understand the 'title' of a recording is italic, with its tracks in quotes - however, for singles should the titles not be in italics? (As this is the 'title' of the work) I'm a bit confused on that one! Regards Webcor (talk) 02:56, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Sir Richardson A number of singles, I refer to, are 'stand alone' titles and not issued from albums. Thus, I believe they need to be italicised (for the A-sides at least)? Webcor (talk) 01:35, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

I would like to add this artist to the Wiki User:Webcor/Jan Van Vliet Links awaiting in Captain Beefheart article. Advice/help appreciated. It appears there is already a different Jan van Vliet - I am now unable to add (musician) to header (for example), to my work. Guidance appreciated. Webcor (talk) 05:30, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Re: David Icke
You recently claimed that the addition of David Icke to the category Antisemitism in the United Kingdom was "unfounded, libelous and POV". However, it is a matter of historical fact that 1) antisemitism in the United Kingdom is an acceptable category, and 2) David Icke has promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories in his books, such as claiming that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is real, and he has flirted with Holocaust revisionism, etc. If you disagree with that category, perhaps you can recommend another category that is reflected by the sources?

Replaceable fair use File:AngerFireworks.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:AngerFireworks.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 20:24, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Copyedit Talk:Jack_Parsons_(rocket_engineer)

Just started with the lead, have left it at that while people take a look and, if no-one has any objections, I will carry one tomorrow, or later tonight if I get a quick reply :¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 20:44, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for correcting those additions (Parson's->Parsons') - that was a bad error on my part.

 * Hey, no worries. It happens to the best of us. JJARichardson (talk) 13:20, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I came in a couple of times last night, but saw you were working on the article, so left it - RL took most of today, just went to look and noticed you are working on it. I'll leave it for a few hours again. Chaosdruid (talk) 19:44, 21 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I see...when I'm done with my edits for now I'll give you the heads up. JJARichardson (talk) 19:45, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thx for that, will carry on in a cpl hours (19:00 BST) and will drop you a note here once I start, just in case :¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 16:45, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Oh dear, that situation must be a serious pain. My best wishes that it's resolved. JJARichardson (talk) 20:54, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, USB problems fixed, back sorted, RL commitments cleared, free to edit. I will start in an hour or so, just single sections which I will put the GOCE tag on so you know where I am working - that way you can work on other sections without me affecting you. Chaosdruid (talk) 13:52, 25 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I was going to try a couple of hours yesterday, but noticed you had been working on the article, so left it until today. I will start on 1.4 - 1.7 after the Grand Prix at around 15:00 UTC. Chaosdruid (talk) 10:45, 11 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I've finished the main copyedit run, and ran scripts (as noted on the talk page). I have also asked a coordinator to take a look as it is my first major edit after a break, and am intending to take another read through tomorrow to make sure I didn't miss anything, as well as make any changes off that talk-page list that we agreed to.
 * Best wishes, and thx for the x-metal comment - I do have to wonder what he wanted that for though! Great article, well-written, really interesting with some interesting facts and links and a great insight into the start of the "Sci-Fi religions". Chaosdruid (talk) 22:13, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Apologies for the lack of communication, as well as the time it took to get the copyedit done. I have had a few RL issues, and will have to call it quits on the article for now. I had hoped to get back to it over the last two weeks, but I fear that is not going to happen unfortunately. I have explained my situation more thoroughly on the GOCE coordinators page and linked it as I feel you also deserve an explanation.

I have loved reading the article, I thought "hey, a rocket scientist, that will be cool", then JPL, Thelemites, open relationships & "witchcraft", intrigue, and Ron Hubbard - I have never told so many people about a Wiki article before! Thanks for being so understanding, and I hope you manage to get it through FA before I return! Chaosdruid (talk) 12:12, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

2014 Year In Review Awards
Thank you, I appreciate it. I didn't think that my first barnstar would come from the military history people! JJARichardson (talk) 14:15, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Unless laziness gets the best of my I usually take a lap at the end of the year to check the articles, lists, topics and pictures that get promoted to Featured status and match the relevant material against our project. If the material is within our scope then I add the editor's name to a list of contributors who should be recognized for the contributions to military history. In this case, two of your featured picture credits for 2014 - Neil Armstrong after moonwalk and Richard Nixon and Elvis Presley - pinged on my review radar, in the former case because Neil Armstrong was an officer in the US Navy before joining NASA, and in the latter case because Nixon served in the US Navy before becoming president. In both cases, your contributions for the project were noted, thus you were awarded a barnstar from us for helping us even though it appears that you were unaware of the assistance you provided.

 * As a general rule, categorising a living person as a criminal should be done cautiously and sparingly due to the WP:BLP issues involved.

Crowley and the New Age
Hi JJA! Regarding Crowley and "New Age", I'm really not sure if the link between the two is strong enough to warrant the actual inclusion of this box. The New Age (movement) draws heavily upon a huge range of earlier esoteric and in particular occult influences, but of them Crowley is certainly not a major influence, whereas (for instance) Theosophy and New Thought were. If you look at the academic studies of the New Age phenomenon by the likes of Hanegraaff, Heelas, or Sutcliffe you will see plenty of mentions of Swedenborg and Blavatsky but very few of Crowley. Crowley was instead a far greater influence on esoteric currents like Wicca, Chaos Magic, modern religious Satanism, and various other forms of ceremonial magic. Thus, I do think that the tag is superfluous here. Best, Midnightblueowl (talk) 14:08, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Categories
Hi,

Could you point me to a rule which states that this category "is for real life subjects" only? If there is such a rule, we will also have to remove (for instance) Category:Child abuse in fiction from Category:Works about child abuse (because the latter is a subcategory of Category:Child abuse).

Thanks. Apokrif (talk) 16:47, 20 January 2016 (UTC)


 * That seems like a stretch of logic. It is appropriate for a piece of fiction about child abuse to be included in a category about child abuse in fiction, as a subcategory of general child abuse topics. However the category "Child sexual abuse in the United Kingdom" is about actual real life cases of CSA, which is why a novel should not be there. JJARichardson (talk) 19:35, 21 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Re: Hitler classification (criminal), I had already put a message on the article talk page as to whether the classification is apt. My reasoning is that 'criminal' as a noun, usually refers to a professional criminal, rather than anyone who has, at some time, been convicted of a crime or spent time in prison (Gandhi? Mandela? + many other political figures, both attractive and notorious). Had AH lived of course he would have been tried (and almost certainly found guilty), of war crimes. But let us see what other editors think about the aptness of the classification.

Recent edit to Jeremy Corbyn
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content from Jeremy Corbyn without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

There is no need for you to repeatedly declare consensus. Once is enough. Please don't do it again. I've never seen that done repeatedly in a discussion. It's bad enough that you made edits to the article that likely impacted the discussion. Are you so afraid that you won't get your way that you have to repeatedly declare consensus?

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Kanye West. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. ''I've re-added very long. Regarding Barack Obama, please see WP:OSE; although the readable prose size of that article is only 84K, feel free to add very long there too if you wish. If you still feel strongly that the template should be removed from Kanye's page, please first establish consensus on Talk:Kanye West. Thank you!'' —Unforgettableid (talk) 05:34, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I still have this on my watchlist but hadn't had time to check much recently. I notice some anonymous edits from April, one of which introduced the overview heading that you've rightly removed -- are you able to check those other ones, as I'm not sure if they improved the article either? Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 14:29, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
