re: Alicia Keys
I redirected a lot of the singles articles because each was about two sentences or so long, and the articles for Songs in A Minor and The Diary of Alicia Keys are very short (Songs in A Minor is only a sentence long itself). We should include the information on the singles in the album article until that article becomes big enough to the point that the singles need their own articles. Here is an example I did with Psychedelic Shack: I described the album (and the singles information) in detail, and redirected the single to the album. I didn't redirect all of them, though: "Fallin'" has a nice long article, and "My Boo", while short, is more than a short paragraph long. --FuriousFreddy 18:53, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Change to Common.css
Per recent discussions, the way in which Persondata is viewed by Wikipedia editors has changed. In order to continue viewing Persondata in Wikipedia articles, please edit your user CSS file to display table.persondata rather than table.metadata. More specific instructions can be found on the Persondata page. -- ShakingSpirit talk  on behalf of Kaldari 01:27, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:22, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
