Your article on Notsensibles -- very nice
Hey there! I was doing New Page Patrol and I saw your article on Notsensibles -- this was wonderful, an article about a band that was properly referenced and well-written! Most new band articles are a bit out-of-tune, but yours hit the mark wonderfully. I enjoyed reading it a lot -- keep up the great work! Ecoleetage (talk) 13:53, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't have to really explain why you're getting this—you know why you're getting this. It seems that rescuing articles may even be your raison d'etre here on Wikipedia. I can't say that I agree with all of the choices you make, but you play a valuable role in building this encyclopedia. Un sch  ool  20:03, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Thankyou very much - it's nice to be appreciated. Happy new year.--Michig (talk) 20:17, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * You're very welcome. HNY2U, also. Un  sch  ool  20:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

D-Irie
In your edit summary de-prodding D-Irie, you mentioned that the rapper had a hit single in German. I don't read German, but I scanned hundreds of search results and found no evidence for that. Can you please point me in the right direction? Tx, Bongo  matic  07:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reference. However, "hit" usually connotes top-40, which 49 isn't. Bongo  matic  13:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Real Radio (Scotland)
Hi there. You have reverted abusive edits on this page yourself and I merely contact you to highlight the extent of the vandalism taking place. Many edits, referring to DJ Paul Carlin, have been made. Some of these vandals have even made up offensive, Paul Carlin related usernames. These users are undoubtedly relentless with their editing. I ask for protection of this article due to the repeated introduction of false information. Thank you for reading this message. Screaming Treeman (talk) 19:38, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Years of Refusal


Please be mindful that you are skirting the limits of the three-revert rule at this article. There is an expectation that editors in an editing dispute will outline the rationale for their preferred version at the article's talk page. Reverting without doing so is often regarded poorly and I have already blocked one user for edit warring. It would thus be helpful if you could outline your arguments on the discussion page. CIreland (talk) 11:16, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I have reverted, along with another editor, the edits of a disruptive and abusive editor, who has repeatedly removed a sourced and hence verifiable review with an unverifiable one. Given that this editor has placed on their talk page the message "I don't care what any of you have to say...so don't bother", and has reverted with an edit summary of "fuck you", your request to engage in discussion on the talk page is not one that I am going to take up with this particular editor. If any other editors wish to engage in discussion on this topic I will be more than happy to do so.--Michig (talk) 11:23, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Could you explain this edit? The categories removed (that you replaced) are redundant as noted in the edit summary. "Scottish singers" is a parent-cat of "Scottish pop singers", for example.

THE GLITTER BAND
Hey, many thanks for sorting the page out it now reflects the correct history and the two bands, one band keeps trying to use the page for their own promotional gain and you have stopped that thanks.

Unknown Pleasures
It may interest you to know that me and a few other editors are working on a revamp of the article here, if there's anything you want to add. WesleyDodds (talk) 10:24, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Because we're been working very slowly in the past, and having it in a userspace allows us to let bits of rough prose and random quotes sit there without us feeling embarassed about it. WesleyDodds (talk) 10:29, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * it's just the one, although I know my friend User:Ceoil has been wanting to work on Closer for forever. WesleyDodds (talk) 10:42, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

There's a lot of ridiculous prose in the Stone Roses article. Go ahead and feel free to take out anything that looks horrid. WesleyDodds (talk) 12:26, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If you plan to do some major rewriting, use one of our Featured Articles as a model, particularly The Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M., and Radiohead. WesleyDodds (talk) 12:35, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That explains some of the early pictures I've seen of them. WesleyDodds (talk) 07:52, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You should cite page numbers from the books you reference. WesleyDodds (talk) 00:05, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Do sometimes even you get amazed by what gets put in Wikipedia?
As a frequent editor I am sure that you see the whole gambit of odd wiki edits, but that last edit by a random IP that you reverted on the reggae page entitled "Bob the Swimmer" was one of the weirdest things I have ever seen written in the English language.--Migglesworth (talk) 17:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Just random vandalism I think. Can't say I spent a lot of time reading it.--Michig (talk) 17:35, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Quite creative as vandalism goes, though.--Michig (talk) 17:53, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
