Fair use rationale for File:Kalmah 12 gauge album cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kalmah 12 gauge album cover.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.

Miley Cyrus photo
Hey, I was just wondering about your recent edit at Miley Cyrus where you had to create a new version of the Academy Awards picture of Miley because you said the original crop was "squeezed"? When I cropped the photo it was weird what happened... it looked squeezed at first but then when I refreshed the page or went into another browser altogether, the newly cropped picture fit normally. Can you check my revision here once again and see if the photo still looks "squeezed" to you? I just wanted to know if it looks normal now to others as well (it did look squeezed for me at first). It's weird how Wikipedia works... I'm not sure what went wrong. We can still keep your newly created picture but I just wanted to see if the image still looks squeezed. Thanks for your help. &mdash; CIS (talk | stalk) 15:43, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi CIS, I checked your revision and it looks normal. I really don't know what the cause of the squeezing was.  If it hadn't been squeezed, possibly I would have fixed the contrast in the image anyway.  (As subtle as I kept the sharpening, when the image is shrunk down to its current "infobox" size, it begins to look "over-sharpened.")  If you think the alternate looks better, feel free to change it!  I really only got involved because the squeeze stood out so much. – Ker αun oςc op ia◁ talk  21:05, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey again! Yeah, I can't figure out what was wrong with that picture and why it was getting squeezed (at least for the first little while), but it's happened to me before when cropping photos so I just wanted to find out if others were still seeing a squeezed photo after refreshing the page. The contrast and other editing you did to the photo looks great! I have no problems keeping it, I was just curious as to the squeezing issue. Thanks again for your help with that! Cheers. &mdash; CIS (talk | stalk) 12:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

You can change the wording if you don't like it, but do not remove entire sections simply because you don't understand where the source is coming from.

Glad to see that the LDR citation style is what you wanted.

Genre changes
As you may have noticed, Babyjazspanail changed all genres for Avril Lavigne singles to a list (I did the same for her albums). I just changed all of the genres so that they now start with a capital letter. I asked Babyjazspanail before I did it and they seemed okay with it but I just wanted to check with you to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong.

A doubt
Hi there KERAUNOSCOPIA, VASCO here,

I have a doubt that i hope you, as the (last) main editor on Core (album) can solve: i saw, some years ago, in ONLY ONE site, that the track "Where the river goes" had been written by a MARTIN WEILAND.

I know that Scott Weiland had (at least) one brother, that passed away while Velvet Revolver was being formed, but that's about it; moreover, all the other sites (i do not have the official CD, just a copy) credit the track to only WEILAND, so one assumes it is SCOTT.

Can you enlighten me on that one? Have a great weekend, from Portugal,

FYI
Just an fyi for you. During the discussion on filmography tables on WT:ACTOR, I copied your comments on the table heading from Talk:Miley Cyrus where you endorsed the color filmography table heading here.

 * Hey Zylo! Sure, I think that one is suitable... but what I would do first (if you haven't already done so) is check to see what other barnstars he's already received, and then check out personal user awards and other awards, just in case there's something a little more eye-catching or one that he hasn't received yet that you'd like to give.

I know you must be tired of my constant questions but I just wanted to check I was doing everything right...for the last point about not having a source, I thought that maybe if a single really needed a genre but there was no source to be found (the case with 'Losing Grip'), everyone could discuss its importance on the article's Talk Page and maybe add it into the article with a 'citation needed' caption - what do you think?

Thanks and again sorry for bothering you Zylo1994 (talk) 07:22, 26 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Zylo, you're not bothering me with questions at all, you're always welcome to ask anything. : ) I'm a pretty big proponent for anything to stop genre warring, and I find that having citations for each genre is one of the most effective ways to stop people throwing in their opinions. All that's left is to crack down on the references which aren't reliable, and that can be as subjective an argument as which genres to include. If there's no reliable source to be found, then definitely a discussion is a great idea, because that can be used to keep genre warring at bay. I wouldn't even use the citation needed template (not in the infobox, at any rate) because if it's been discussed, then that should be good enough. The citation needed template, though, can be tagged in the article body itself, if needed. So everything looks good to me : ) –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5100CC;">galaxies  16:40, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

I'll put the genre warning into all singles and albums now...thanks! Zylo1994 (talk) 18:01, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

consensus between us
listen here. I don't want to get in trouble for this. u do know that Billboard is consisted of individual charts. There are three rock charts: Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks, Alternative Songs and Rock Songs. I don't consider these charts component to others. There are songs that peaked higher in Rock Songs than in Alternative Songs. For example, Between The Lines by Stone Temple Pilots, Your Decision by Alice In Chains, The Good Life by Three Days Grace. Just because they peaked higher in Rock Songs, doesn't make the Alternative Songs more vulnerable. If u noticed STP's discography page, the Alternative Songs chart is there. Every rock song's wiki page have all the 3 rock charts, which is where I request the Alternative Songs should be back in the Between The Lines page.David1287 (talk) 19:47, 8 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi David 1287. I've already stated my reasons why the Alternative Songs chart should be removed from the article. You just stated above, "I don't consider these charts component to others." This is your opinion, not necessarily fact. Consensus on the "Between the Lines" article was already reached, including support from an admin you brought in and a third opinion from an outsider. So you need to take the good fight elsewhere: begin a discussion and reach consensus on the WP:CHARTS project. Ignore "Between the Lines" for now... start from the source. Why do you think the Alternative Songs chart isn't a component to Rock Songs? If it is a component, why do you think it's important enough to be listed on discographies and album articles? Go over there and talk to the editors who know the chart stuff inside and out. With good research (don't ever feel rushed, take your time) and a convincing or strong argument, you may be able to persuade people to accept the Alternative Songs chart as a viable and notable enough chart to be mentioned alongside major charts. Your goal would be to have the AS chart acceptable for inclusion in articles, and for the project articles to be updated to reflect this. Does that make sense? If consensus were reached that Alternative Songs can be listed on articles, then you can add the AS chart to as many articles as your heart desires, and even I will be in support of it. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  22:34, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Airplay, Billboard & Digital Charts review
Hello, i was wondering if you could give your opinion of the following as part of the final review process for WP:USCHARTS before it is fully promoted to policy. |A.B.D Discussion. Thanks. Lil-unique1 (talk) 21:08, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Intersecting arrays
Thought you might have taken this off your watchlist. If you want to get Excel to look up the intersections for you, then paste your data into two columns (you don't need to sort them). Do a create name for the two columns (say 'Lot') and create a name for the second column (say 'Two') (you can just use the arrays, but its clearer in the formula). In the third column, first row, paste the following

=IFERROR(INDEX(Lot, MATCH(A1,Two,0), 2),)

Copy the formula down to the bottom of the array. You should see a line of 0's, except where the entry appears in both columns.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:44, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

State of
The official title of 46 of the United States is "the State of X", while four of the states use the title "the Commonwealth of X". These are the official titles of these states as written in U.S. law. For example, see Seal of Texas. The capitalized "state of X" should only be used in an informal sense, such as discussing more than one state (e.g., the states of Illinois and Indiana) or one of the four states that use the title commonwealth (e.g., the state of Massachusetts.) Yours aye, Buaidh (talk) 18:34, 22 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is written in lay-English, not in legalese, where capitalization of nouns is almost inherently incorrect and always done anyway. Formality has nothing to do with it. If you look at ANY grammar book or website, you will see that "state" is always lowercased, unless it is part of the actual name or clarifier: New York City. Washington State. The city of New York. The state of Washington. It has nothing to do with "more than one state," that is a total fabrication. What's really frustrating is you actually believe this. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  18:39, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

I happen to work for one of the 50 states in question, and the states adamant insist on capitalization. Frankly, I don't care, but if Libya gets to call itself the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, I think we can let the 50 U.S. states call themselves whatever they wish.

 * Yes, I already referred to state documents in my other reply... let's continue this conversation on either my talk page or your talk page exclusively, not both places.

David1287 and Diamond Eyes
In my three years of contributing to Wikipedia, every disruptive editor I have ever encountered either turned out to be a sockpuppet of a banned editor, in which case an editor familiar with his editing behavior filled out an SPI and the disruptive editor was banned again OR an admin happened to be monitoring the situation for whatever reason and blocked the disruptive editor. So to be honest, I have no idea what to do with David1287. He seems to be under the impression that (a) he does not need to source his contributions (b) if for some odd reason he does need to source his contributions, he can just post whatever he wants in a forum and link that in the article and (c) there is no discussion to be had. I have tried communicating with him on the talk page of the article and the talk pages for both him and his IP. And I know have had this exact same conversation with him before about another charting single, though I cannot remember which one.

He is obviously getting his information SOMEWHERE, but will not add or mention the source. Every week he performs the exact same edit to a handful of modern rock bands. A while back there was an admin who was going to create WP:SLOBBERINGFANBOY, an essay (similar to WP:HAMMER or WP:GWARRIOR) that was going to be about editors that feel compelled to create articles or contribute information before reliable sources are readily available. Just to be the first. (The essay has been comically mentioned in several deletion discussions ) Billboard releases charts on Thursday, yet every Tuesday or Wednesday, David1287 is here to be the very first to update chart positions. Neat.

So, in general, I think the information he is adding is accurate. Occasionally, early Billboard reports can be off by a few positions. He just has a pesky little problem with ignoring consensus and adding sources, just to be the first. Can an editor be blocked or banned for contributing valid information, but being unwilling to verify it or communicate with other editors? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Fezmar9 (talk) 23:26, 28 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how to handle David1287 either. If you're finding that his edits are actually accurate, but just unsourced, then I suppose the simplest thing would be to tag his edits with citation needed and leave it at that for a few days until an actual source can be used. Blocks shouldn't be used as punishment, although WP:BLOCK states, "Blocks sometimes are used as a deterrent, to discourage whatever behavior led to the block and encourage a productive editing environment," so if he's been warned enough times on his talk page (four times or so) about adding unverifiable material, then that itself should lead to a temporary block. As for him being a sockpuppet, I don't really know. I'm pretty sure he uses IPs to edit at times, though, either because he forgets to log in or some other reason. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  03:07, 29 April 2010 (UTC)


 * He generally likes to update Alternative Rock and Mainstream Rock charts early. Alternative Rock is still published by Billboard.com, so adding citation needed is one way to go about this, it just seems counterproductive to add something that I know I will be removing in two days. Especially if I have to do this every week to several articles that David1287 edits. Mainstream Rock is no longer published by Billboard.com, and a citation needed tag would be sitting there for a long long time. Supposedly this chart is still published at Billboard.biz, but to my knowledge there are no Wikipedia editors that subscribe to this site that would be willing to provide refs. And be able to fact check David1287's edits weekly.


 * As of yet, I do not believe his sock IPs are any reason to cause concern. He isn't claiming to be someone else as a different IP, and isn't trying to persuade consensus or anything. In my experiences, puppetry can really only be disruptive if the multiple accounts communicate with each other to create the illusion of consensus among multiple editors. That, or it's a new account from a previously banned editor. So my guess is that he uses multiple computers, but is just lazy about logging in.


 * A temporary block sounds like the best action. Do you know if WP:ANI would be the correct place to request a block? Fezmar9 (talk) 17:09, 29 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I can see where the cn tag would be more of a hindrance than anything. Besides, that would essentially make you his babysitter.


 * Well, regarding the Mainstream Rock and Alternative Song charts, just FYI, I had the same issue with David1287 including this information on the "Between the Lines (Stone Temple Pilots song)" chart table; meanwhile, according to the guideline WP:CHARTS, component charts shouldn't be listed. According to the working draft WP:USCHARTS, the component charts mentioned can be listed so long as certain criteria are met. I held α discussion on the song's talk page, and David1287 started a discussion on the charts guideline talk page, and consensus was reached in my favor. Someone did mention somewhere that these component charts can be mentioned in a section lead-in (for the Charts section of an article), and I decided what the hey, and these charts are therefore mentioned on "Between the Lines", but not in the actual charts table. (Since you mention that Mainstream Rock Tracks isn't easily sourced, then I may remove this from the article since it's been tagged cn for a while now.)


 * Otherwise, in seeking possible resolution, according to Dealing with Disruptive Editors, and as long as WP:3RR isn't being violated, "a rapid report to WP:ANI may be the best first step". So maybe that would be the option you'd like to go with. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  18:31, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of specific image version
Regarding, Is there a way to delete specific versions? In this case, "15:10, 29 April 2010" (the first upload, uploaded by me) may be a WP:HOAX image and hasn't been verified as legitimate artwork for the cover. Also, "15:05, 30 April 2010" (the current version) is the exact same upload as 's upload. The explanation behind that is it's my mistake; my browser shows the birdcage image being his newer upload, so I ended up thinking he uploaded the wrong image again. This was either a cache problem or a Wikipedia problem; either way, in hopes of saving even the tiniest bit of server space, the two images (first and last versions) should be removed. I just don't know how to tag or request specific versions to be deleted. Thanks. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  21:19, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Second album
Can't Be Tamed is Cyrus' second studio album. Read my justification in the talk page. Many sources like Billboard, Allmusic, and others will agree with me. The only reason why previous editors, which were frankly inexperienced and the administrator was correct, considered it a studio album was because it was her first material not credited to Hannah Montana. That doesn't make it a studio album. Since when have soundtracks and studio albums been sold together? It's a soundtrack. Disney may have marketed is as Cyrus' first release but they never, ever, ever did they state it was a "debut studio album". So leave it as her second album. -- <b style="font-family:tahoma; color:LightBlue;">ipodnano05</b> * <sup style="font-family:tahoma; color:SteelBlue;">leave@message 00:07, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Hunster beat me to the punch. I couldn't find any mention of that anywhere either.  Personally, I prefer "2009-present" over "2009 onwards" but I could really care less as to which is used.  But trying to verify the 'rule', I could find nothing at all referencing that "onwards" should be used over any other format.

 * Right off the bat, Huntster, I agree that "onward" is preferable to "onwards" — it's not unlike "toward" vs. "towards". I believe I've been using "onwards" because I type that without really paying attention. Now then, to the "–present" issue. I'm actually at a loss for words. I picked up the "–present" --> "onward" change from another editor earlier last year. I'm positive I checked this change with guidelines, and I remember being in the same boat as you guys: "onward(s)" was *not* mentioned in the guidelines, but I figured it was an unlisted option for not using "–present". I recall reading "–present" should not be used anywhere within the body of an article except, in some cases, in infoboxes, for the purpose of succinctness. I've checked WP:MOSNUM and WP:Albums (where I thought it may be listed), but I can't for the life of me recall where I've read this. So I will have to do some digging and locate the guidelines. (I did check the history of WP:MOSNUM through to August 2009, in case any changes had been made.) Until I find this info, I'll refrain from making any more of these edits. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, I'm sort of stunned at not finding anything. But the information does exist somewhere, I'm sure of it. : ) –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  20:45, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

 * No need for a revert. It's fine either way, I just prefer the "-present".  There's a possibility you may be right, as I've seen the "onward" format used in various other places so we might as well just leave it how it is for now since there's no concrete rule found so far.

Rescaled fair use image not deleted
Hello. This image was reduced in size, but the historical images weren't deleted. I have no qualms with this because backlogs exist, but I was confused in this case since the Category:Rescaled fairuse images shows that "more than 7 days old" is empty.

Images not being deleted
Hello, I've had this issue before. Several of my non-free images are not being deleted after their size has been reduced. Again, I went to the Category:Rescaled fairuse images more than 7 days old and it is empty. The images that have revisions that need to be deleted are listed: I am using the {{subst:furd}} template, and in my edit summaries, I just write "furd"... are either of these causing the problem? Should I have a more specific edit summary? It's no problem at all, especially if a bot is looking for something in the summary. Otherwise, I don't know what I'm doing incorrectly, or if this is just a temporary thing. I have more image deletion requests coming up in the next few days; I'll keep an eye on them as well.

 * (Edit conflict - so ignore the bits about me leaving stuff not deleted...) Hmm, it is a puzzle. I don't have a definite answer, so I'm leaving the admin help template in place to see if someone else has a more conclusive one. I started by checking Template:Non-free reduced, which does say subst:furd is the shortcut, so that should be ok. I would be very surprised if edit summaries had anything to do with it, that's not how categories work. I checked an image that got placed correctly in the over 7 days category and the main thing I notice different from most of you edits is the format of the time stamp - on yours it only gives the date, not time as well . There is at least one exception though, so don't know if that actually explains it... I'll now go and delete the all except those couple, which I'll leave as examples to allow another admin more knowledgeable about templates and categories to have a look.

 * Thank you guys very much, I appreciate it. Peter, you may be on to something. I didn't always used to use the subst. The Hilary Hahn image (the one you pointed out as the exception), I wrote in the edit summary "tag nfr", which means to me that I didn't use {{subst:furd}}, I used . If the resulting date/time is in a different format, or missing components of the time  (I hadn't noticed until now), then maybe the subst template needs to be corrected.

As for that specific diff, I'm not sure but i think it might have something to do with the code in your signature.. because when I test it it seems to work fine for me.

Titanic (1997 film)
Hello, Keraunoscopia. Regarding this edit you made, as I stated in my edit summary, "It is a close-up, seeing as it is not the full drawing, which shows her fully nude." The reason I added "close-up" is so that readers who have not seen this film will know that that is not the complete sketch. The complete sketch shows more.

Anyway, I wanted to come talk this over with you before adding "close-up" back. I do not mind you having removed the other stuff from the caption; it was more so personal commentary. Sorry about that. Flyer22 (talk) 23:32, 21 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Flyer22, not a problem! My original intent was to remove the dangling modifier—"As one of the more romantic scenes within the film, Cameron drew the portrait himself" (Cameron is one of the more romantic scenes?)—which was confusing. The other edits were just secondary to me, so please, by all means, re-add what is necessary. I wrote "detail?" in my edit summary because I wasn't sure if "close-up" was referring to a detail of the original sketch or if it was a close-up shot (like the film term) of the drawing. Anyway, thanks for getting in touch with me, and apologies for modifying an otherwise fine caption. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  09:26, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Stone Temple Pilots
Thanks for your message. No problem organizing the chart table. Regarding what charts to include, I prefer only the main national chart, in this case the Billboard 200. I do agree that the Digital Albums chart is unnecessary, especially since it's charted so well overall; however, you've got it all sourced, so I won't remove it. I wouldn't put it back though, either, if someone does decide to remove it. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 02:42, 3 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Sounds good to me. What is your opinion on charts being mentioned in the prose, but not listed in the table? For example, if the Digital chart isn't really necessary, I could just move that into the prose section. I did this with the Alternative charts, which I know is a component chart, but which I also recall reading somewhere (talk pages of WP:USCHARTS maybe?) could be mentioned in prose, but shouldn't be used in the table if the album charted on Rock charts. Or should I leave it as-is, and if it's eventually removed, leave it as-is as well? Thanks very much for your input. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  07:41, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The chart table I think is a great way to summarize various worldwide chart positions from a country's principal and/or official chart provider. When discussing the chart performance in the prose, the information should be coming from a source other than the chart itself, meaning that it's actually written about elsewhere. This gives substance to its chart position beyond just a number, so if it's mentioned in a source (even if it's within Billboard apart from the chart itself) that it's the second best-selling digital album for a week in June then mention it. I'm also not a fan of a prose section for charts that just repeats the chart table: "it reached #2 in Canada, #6 in New Zealand, #21 in Australia, and #35 in Finland, etc." I'm not sure if I'm being of much help here, but I do appreciate you asking my opinion. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 09:13, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't know that the size issue is raised anywhere. The 400px number is just the middle ground that most folks feel comfortable with.

Hello friend
I was recently at an informal Wiki participants  meeting in Toronto and there was alot of talk about articles with listed references like Avril's (it was not mentioned per say). Apparently there might be a big push on to stop this practice. As a recent independent poll has stated that new users find the coding overwhelming (as its a 2 step process to add a ref). I guess they say 2 steps because if you dont edit from the top..you have to edit 2 sections to add reference and this is not user friendly. Y i am telling you this....because i have made copies of Avril's page toady with normal ref format so if the list format is abandoned we can quickly change it up so the GA level will not be affected. I personal like the listing format but had to admit at the meeting that its not the norm and might be over coded for a newcomer - because most newcomers  just add  to the end of a sentence. From what i understand they will be pushing this view point soon on the grounds that its not user friendly (To newcomers). They were also saying there tends to be ownership problems when it come to articles with this types of references and new info is simply deleted if the format is not followed. Again just heads-up so if you see a tag saying ..."This references format is up for discussion"  you wont be surprised. I personally will vote to keep the listed references format if it goes that far. Moxy (talk) 04:40, 9 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the notice. I don't think they have much of a case. LDR supports regular referencing as well as list-defined, so it works to both editors' advantages. If an editor decides not to use a two-step process, he or she may simply leave the reference within the text. No one's forcing them to make that second edit. Also, newcomers sometimes correctly assign references with a "ref name"... why go through all that trouble of using a shortened ref name for most of the references except for one, when they can do it for all of them. It's not like this is rocket science, and it doesn't take up more than five seconds to add a reference to the References section. As for the "ownership" issues, I could just as easily consider non-LDR articles to be "owned" by non-LDR supporters. In addition, this would be like arguing that the Avril Lavigne article is "owned" by Canadians because it uses Canadian spelling. I find the whole thing to be rather silly, and somewhat in the vein of "nothing else better to do". But thanks for the heads up. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  08:52, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

It was merely to be used as an example for a discussion on the Avril Lavigne talk page.

 * (Ah, okay, my apologies, it was hard to tell.) I saw that the template had been moved, and had I participated in the TfD discussion, I would've requested the template be removed and a redirect placed there instead. If there is a similar history with Template:Cite Facebook and MySpace, etc, then I'd think that redirects would be fine. To me, template redirects show that someone had already gone through that thought-process already and that a more specific template was simply not needed.

Phil Taylor
Hi, I was citing a video from Youtube as a reference to a 9 darter hit by Taylor. It is reference number 28 and I never cited a video before and was hoping you would check and see if I am doing it right. Mr.Kennedy1 talk 11:45, 15 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Mr.Kennedy1, the citation itself looks okay to me. I would actually change the  parameter from "Motion picture" to "Television production", since the footage was most likely aired on TV, not part of a feature film release. I would also add the   parameter and include the time on the video when Taylor makes the 9 darter. As for the placement of the citation in the phrase, I believe it to be incorrect. Currently, the phrase reads: In 2004, he repeated the feat in Bolton again live on television in the UK Open against Matt Chapman, making him one of only two players (the other being van Barneveld) in the game's history ever to have achieved the feat more than once on television.[28] However, nowhere does the video state that Taylor is one of only two players in the game's history to have achieved the feat more than once on television, and I don't recall hearing van Barneveld's name either. This means that the reference should be moved to the end of the first part of the phrase, with a  tagged on the end of the second part of the phrase until a suitable reference can be found. For example: In 2004, he repeated the feat in Bolton again live on television in the UK Open against Matt Chapman,[28] making him one of only two players (the other being van Barneveld) in the game's history ever to have achieved the feat more than once on television.[citation needed] Hope that helps! –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  16:38, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Private information
Hello. Can someone permanently delete the above discussion. An email address and private medical information is mentioned. I also have no idea what the topic is about. I don't have a strong memory for past collaborations with users online (I retain memory "space" for more useful things!). Thank you so much. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  04:49, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:38, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Fallen trees
Hi Keraunoscopia, just saw your post at WP:RDS, but as you've marked it as resolved thought I'd post here instead. Obviously they are knocked over by wind, but it sounds to me as though the most likely cause would be an ice storm which massively increases the weight of the tree (by coating it in ice) and makes it much more likely to be blown over by the wind as a result. You might want to take a look at this paper as the ice storm article doesn't particularly cover this effect. Smartse (talk) 10:49, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, though that paper was free but it isn't. Try looking at the 1998 section in the examiner article in this search. (Can't link to it as examiner.com is blacklisted). Smartse (talk) 10:54, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * This is great, thank you so much. Your suggestion would require that I actually inquire around regarding the history of ice storms around here, or maybe the combination of heavy snowfall and wind. I hadn't thought of this at all! I suppose, also, that it's entirely possible the trees had not fallen all at once, but have collected as a result of similar storms over time. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  18:38, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Avril Lavigne articles
Hello there, thanks for leaving me a message. First I'd just like to wonder when on earth was the dates changed, because I recall, not too long ago they were all normal. But anyways, I brought it up on the talk page. How is her website blog not reliable? I'm sorry but that makes no sense whatsoever. I put a link to the exact page it was on, not just her main page. And for the with, I'm fine with that. I've just seen with being lowercase in titles. And pretty much with everything else, I didn't think would make such a big deal. Great to see you are an amazing contributor to the article! ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT  (Talk)  14:01, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * The article went under a "revamp" last summer, when several of us expanded it. The dates may have changed around that time, so fairly recently. I mean, not more than a year. Her website blog is still a primary source, and secondary sources are used to establish notability. Having said that, I misconstrued the URL; I thought it went to the main page, and that's my mistake, so I apologize. But in any case, a secondary source is almost always preferred, especially if it can be used in place of a primary source. As for I'm With You, I know, it can be frustrating when it comes to song titles and grammar, and honestly, I don't think there is a straightforward answer sometimes. For the sake of consistency, and to avoid any warring (especially if the song's article were to be moved for the umpteenth time), I figure it's best to stick with a capital W. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  20:34, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

12 Gauge (album)
Hi. this is just a template. when numbers are exact like (8/10), there is no difference between digits and stars, unless scores like: (8.7/10). many articles for mainstream bands & singers use this template though scores aren't stars. however i don't change your edit because of Template:Rating. sorry, my english isn't good. PAK (talk) 16:36, 25 November 2010 (UTC)


 * That's not true at all. If a reviewer does not use a star system, then the rating template must not be used. This has been discussed countless times on template and article talk pages. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  21:34, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Copying/Pasting text into new article
Hi. I copied and pasted the edit-window text of the Goodbye Lullaby section of the Avril Lavigne article into  this sandbox to allow users to begin editing the future article. Upon publishing the article, we would go back to the Goodbye Lullaby section of the AL article and remove unnecessary and over-detailed information—and I assumed we would simply put a tag in the talk page explaining that some of the text in the article had been moved to another article. In other words, this would eventually become a cut-and-paste.

But suddenly I realized that this may have been the wrong thing to do. What about the edit history made to the Goodbye Lullaby section, these were obviously not going to be moved to the sandbox. Should I have done this differently? I was looking at WP:HISTMERGE and realized that I think I have messed up royally. Is there any way to fix this? Or because the edits are so few on the sandbox, with everyone's consent, would we simply be able to start from scratch? Thank you so much. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  21:24, 28 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Should I add and explain what I said above? –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5E1FFF;">galaxies  21:28, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * No need, move the sandbox to mainspace when it's done but make a note in the move or edit log that it incorporates text from the parent article. This is fine for a split-out. Guy (Help!) 21:43, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
