Slurp!
Hmmm! I like cookies!

Of course, being French I prefer pancakes

But thank you indeed for your welcome!

I'm contributor since 2006 in the French Wikipedia. And occasionally on the English Wikipedia. Having been biologist of the wildlife and the evolution (now retired) and remaining amateur astronomer and musician (pianist, keyboardist and flutist) it is of course in these domains that I'll contribute the most often. And always humbly.

And I'll keep preciously the useful links you've provided in your text to watch them each time it will be necessary.

Cheers! Jacques Prestreau (talk) 23:06, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

List of new-age music artists
Please stop editing this page. I am trying to clean up the extraneous information and non-notables you are adding.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  00:59, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

August 2015
Your recent edit to List of new-age music artists appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. ''

Also please follow the general style of the rest of the list, listing the person and the most basic of who they are. Their article will be the provider of information.  &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;   &#9743;(ring-ring)''  01:14, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello. Ok for the style. I understand now. But... you say that I added a "non-notable" musician? Who, please? All those I've added are very known musicians, and all award winners, not simply local or unknown musicians. I've even added the sources in references for them all in wait to create their Wikipedia pages. So... humbly I'd like to ask you... who was this un-notable musician? Thanks.Jacques Prestreau (talk) 01:46, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * List articles contain links to existing wiki articles. You added a number of entries that did not have such an article. The reasoning is given in the above message. For example, Thierry Morati and Shastro do not have articles on the English Wikipedia. They may be (and are) new-age artists, but really need to have an article showing their notability for inclusion on a list. Take what you have and make their articles!-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  01:55, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello. Yes, and it was planned to make them. As you have certainly seen I had even already prepared their internal links! But was it a reason to qualify my additions as vandalism?Jacques Prestreau (talk) 02:10, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Vandalism was never a term used in reverting/undoing the edits.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  02:17, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * But when I use the comparison tool (here) I see clearly the term "vandal"... and written in uppercase and in red!!!Jacques Prestreau (talk) 02:21, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That will appear on any comparison, and is a link to undo a change with a reason (specifically vandalism). Your edits were not vandalism and the reverting message gives the reason.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  02:25, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, I understand better this point now. But when you reverted back to the version which was before my first contribution... you not only deleted the additions I had made but also deleted many corrections I had made to the present entries. I did not do only additions... I also did corrections to that page. Larry Fast (no information at all), Michael Flatley (the same), Jean-Michel Jarre (his main activity was missing), Michael Hoppé (he is not only composer), Asher Quinn (a totally wrong comment was present)... And what about huge famous musicians who ARE already in the Wikipedia pages but were missing in the list?: David Darling (musician), Ron Korb, Riley Lee, Yuriko Nakamura, Anthony Phillips, David Pickvance... they too are now deleted. Why not having letting me the time to finish what I was doing (I had planned to make the pages of the missing musicians in Wikipedia) rather of deleting absolutely everythind including the musicians who HAVE already their pages and the corrections added to the other entries which were wrong?Jacques Prestreau (talk) 02:42, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
