We did it, my friend! Thanks for your help throughout - it was invaluable and irreplaceable ! :) Lovz ya, — Ed 17  (Talk /  Contribs)  19:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Aw, Eddie, you shouldn't! Congrats on that article, but there is no way that my work is "invaluable" or "irreplaceable." Icy could have done a better job, and surely plenty of other c/e-rs out there could do the work faster, better, and...politer(?). Just thank me simply, if at all - it's nothing that merits any special treatment, hon. :) &mdash; La Pianista  (T•C) 17:19, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Question
Why do some people devote themselves to deleting userpages when they could add to the encyclopdia. They have no need. Unless smething is harmful to people who don't want it then why delete it? Chubb enna  itor  18:50, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Every person finds different things to their liking. I like adding to articles about old warships, J.delanoy loves to Huggle, La Pianista likes to copyedit (and occasionally contribute real stuff :P), Icy likes to copyedit and contribute to cloud-related articles, and MZMcBride likes to delete stale IP talk pages. Everyone has their niche that they like to be in&mdash;for example, don't ask me to Huggle, because simply editing isn't fun for me...it's the research behind ship classes and the finding of a good source that makes me love to contribute. Finding out why x class of ships was designed a certain way intrigues me. Working within MILHIST and reviewing articles isn't quite as fun, but reading the articles I review teaches me stuff, and it's the learning from researching and reading that keeps me here. Otherwise, I would have left lonnnng ago. :) — Ed 17  (Talk /  Contribs)  20:10, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah. There are lots of jobs on Wikipedia that need to be filled besides mainspace article editing.  Like talk page stalking.  Nutiketaiel (talk) 20:46, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

 * (@ Icy) - I love you. <3 :) Really, it's not that hard to review article, especially when you go through just looking for prose problems (don't have to know anything about the topic!). :)

 * It's more than adequate. Love you all! (well, not Julian....!) Anything helps...PR and A-class are both backlogged there. :( So many people are starting to use that A-class review page, it's scary (but also good!). There aren't so many PR requests, but that's prolly because they sit there for a month and garner only one, maybe two, reviews. :/ So, if you wanted somethingto do that was quick in your limited spurts on, milhist PRs could call your name if you want.... ;)

Why are articles under MySpace categories deleted? They don't destroy the encyclopedia. As long as they aren't offensive and open to the public then the problem is... If the user devotes themselves to the MySpace then they should be deleted. Only then. Chubb enna  itor  16:55, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * (@ Ed, Queeneh): Yeah, I was thinking the same. Perhaps one of you (:D) can design a new one for me? Not too colorful please - and I would like to maintain the "Dolce ma non troppo" part (meaning "Sweetly, but not too much.").
 * (@ Chubb): MySpacey pages are disruptive. They detract from the real purpose of the project - writing articles. They aren't blatantly harmful, like vandalizing and POV-pushing are, but they can be distracting. Users who wish to use Wikipedia as MySpace should, well, look to MySpace. / La Pianista  Dolce, ma non troppo 17:02, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, but isn't it even more pointless to go round deleting them. I'm sorry. I stated that as soon as they get too distracting then I agree they should go on that users' pages. It doesn't affet anyone. What's wrong with this place being too myspacy. As long as we have users who contribute to the encyclopedia then the problem is... Chubb  enna  itor  20:41, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * affect ;)
 * An element of myspacey-ness is kind of unavoidable when you've got on your hands an enthusiastic community full of people who inevitably are going to make friendships. Even if it doesn't directly affect the project, it's going to distract from the focus. We can't have users running around the community who do nothing but chat all day - not that we have any, I'm just saying - though I stick around and talktalktalk, I pretend to make up for it by doing minor rewrites and copy-editing whatever I can. If pages that have nothing to do with the project pop up all over the project, then it's not Wikipedia anymore. And we can't have that on our hands, either. Icy  // ♫ 20:45, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

WP:CM
Hi, just wanted to drop a note that I've begun work on the revamp. I've reworked WikiProject Classical music/Assessment and I have a modified version of the Project's mainpage at my sandbox, but I had a few quick questions first. Is it just me, or is the existence of the WikiProject Contemporary music kind of pointless? I'm moderately annoyed that Glenn Gould isn't even rated under Classical Music at all. While I can see the purpose of a WikiProject Composers, wouldn't it just be easier to break these into work groups? I'm slightly disgusted by the raw amount of overlap with projects here and I'm sure this causes confusion for other users as well.

In any event, I've begun rereading Peter Oswald's Glenn Gould: the Ecstasy and Tragedy of Genius, so expect some changes to that page in the near future. ɳ OCTURNE ɳ OIR (t • c) 22:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

 * O.o Oh, teh blinking! /me goes blind. Pianista : Chat  04:38, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Pianista, why has everyone got a sig in the style of Pedro? p.s. /me has joined the firefox revolution and now enjoys the round corners and ed's nice userpage. Queenie  11:56, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * We are from teh Pedro Cabal . Err... no actually there is no cabal, of course not. Chamal : Chat  11:59, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * So why? April Fool's? Queenie  12:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * There is no cabal. NocturneNoir : Chat  12:05, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, yeah. Things are a bit crazy here today; just take a look at the main page. It started with this discussion (which someone later removed from that page and brought us back to this world), and then this, and finally this. There's probably a lot more happening, but this are the most ridiculous ones. Chamal : Chat  12:44, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, right. Fair enough. Queenie 14:22, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Queenie, one would think you have been disillusioned by your years of IE usage. There is no cabal, except in the imaginations of the puny. Pianista : Chat  04:21, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Your support is required...
My Empress-

I require your support in my current bid for absolute power over the Wiki. As your Glorious God-Emperor and Editor-in-Chief, I expect a favorable vote from you during this vital process. Thank you. Nutiketaiel (talk) 12:58, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I'd just like to announce...
...that I love you all. Super srs. Glass  Cobra  13:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello again. (I've gone mad)
One little niggle. . Chubb enna  itor  16:34, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Chubby! Glad to see you back. I knew you wouldn't have left for good.
 * As to that message, I'm not sure I understand the context. Your edit notice is supposedly offensive to him? &mdash; La Pianista  ♫ ♪ 04:58, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. And since I've come back no-oe has treated me with any sort of respect ad it's been telling off here etc. Chubb  enna  itor  16:27, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * IMHO, don't expect respect. Try to earn it, but don't expect to get it all the time. When you get into a conflict with a user more experienced than you, he is naturally going to have the upper edge. That has nothing to do with you, it's just how things work here and in this world. The gravity of the problem depends on how you take it too. Either you go "OMG accusation!" or you can go "Oh wow, opportunity for improvement" (at least that's the way I see it, but I might be weird). It's always good to make sure that you leave no chance for others to see a fault in the way you act. Anyway, problem here seems to be about re-reverting without discussing first. Looks to me like both parties have missed that point and started arguing about some edit notice and respected editors. Discussion should have been about the edit and why it was reverted and the reason that no discussion was needed for it, and not about the accusation or each other's faults :(  C h a m a l  talk 00:24, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Chamal's right. I can say no more; if I did, it would only be a pointless reiteration. Take what he said to heart, Chubby. &mdash; La Pianista  ♫ ♪ 03:14, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Happy 's Day!
For a userbox you can put on your userpage, please see User:Dylan620/Today/Happy Me Day!. After all the humor I've seen surround you, I couldn't help but give this to you. Your track record as a great contributor and excellent adoptee isn't too bad, either. :) Dylan620 : Chat  00:17, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Eeeeeh! Nice! Happy La Pianista's day, everyone :) Chamal : Chat  01:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Haha congrats dear Pianista. :-) — Ed 17  (Talk /  Contribs)  02:32, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * What in the name of...?! I can't even thank you guys enough. Dylan! Chamal! Eddie! What is this for? I haven't done anything awesome recently. &mdash; La Pianista  ♫ ♪ 05:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Haven't done anything awesome recently other than being awesome... Look, you're awesome if we say so. If you complain you will be taken to ANI or someplace (yeah, I know April1 is over, but the mood's still there. Which reminds me I have to change my sig again). BTW, how many people declare awesome Wikipedians? Biblio, Rlevse, Dylan... Chamal :  Chat  11:20, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Congrats Pianisteh! It'll be ed's turn next :D Anyway, well done, you deserve it :) Queenie  12:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Congrats!  L ITTLE M OUNTAIN  5  review! Happy Pianista Day! 14:47, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, gosh, you've even changed your sig, LM? Srsly. I'm blushing now. You people. :P
 * Thanks ever so much Dylan. I was far from expecting something like this. (And I would insert a humble rant here, if it were not for the apparent way it ticks you fellas off whenever I do that. But then, if it annoys you, I should...) &mdash; La Pianista  ♫ ♪ 03:07, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Question
Do you think this sig for my alt account is too squiggly or is it all right? Deacy Amp   Queenie  16:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Quite squiggly. I would suggest something like Deacy  Amp  perhaps. :) &mdash; La Pianista  ♫ ♪ 04:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Nocturnes Op. 27 (Chopin)

 * That's a nice little article you have there :) — Ed 17  (Talk /  Contribs)  17:21, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Before my rant, I'd like to make a couple of things clear. Don't worry, it's not dangerous to read. :) I've pledged not to defer compliments because it is, to be frank, annoying. In real life, as matter of fact, I'm tired of getting scolded for denying compliments. So, for once, I thank you, Eddie for the note, and Panda for your help! Beautiful article, as Ed has said.
 * However. Panda, why did you do that?! I don't need that nom. I barely touched the article four times. Anyone looking through the history can see that. I don't mean to be ungrateful, as I am very happy with the DYK. But please. I find it unsettling that I am taking credit for something to which I hardly contributed. It is not for the points - it's for my own conscience. From now on, whenever you are starting any "Nocturnes" articles, I wish not to take the credit unless I wrote up a section or two.
 * This may make you mad, and though provoking that might bring me regret somewhat, at least I have said what I believe. I am not playing the humble card, and I am certainly not trying to be artificially sweet or deferential. I'm simply speaking my mind. :) &mdash; La Pianista  ♫ ♪ 22:25, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Haha, that hardly would be make me angry. Whatever makes you happy! ɳ OCTURNE ɳ OIR  talk //  contribs 22:32, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
