An e-mail from Doctor Jimmy
Ahh baba. It works every time ha ha .Nothing though i said is untrue and that i can guaruntee.

And some more...
Just who do you think you are.Do you really think I have a problem with Tony Ellis signing for Blackpool,it was 12 years ago for god sake.He was and still is to me and many other North End fans a hero and a legend and in my time the best striker Ive seen at the club.I'll grant you one thing,i did at the time have a problem with John Beck for wanting him out in the first place ,and succeeding and also with the board for not being big enough to stand up to Beck in regards to keeping our best player. If though Tony Ellis is such a hero on the Fylde why has it taken until now for someone,and a Preston North End fan at that,to write an article on him.Had he not played for Preston before going to Blackpool he would be classed in the same league as John Murphy, Scott Taylor and the like but due to the fact that he played for Preston he is now seen as some sort of iconic messiah in Blackpool.It seems to me that it is you who have a problem with the fact that Ellis once, nay twice played for Preston and not i should say the other way round.Having said that coming from someone who listens to REM and seems to also follow St Johnstone it really shouldn't come as any surprise. Many Preston North End fans do hold a grudge against Ellis for walking out on us but many more also blame John Beck for forcing him out.To try and replace Ellis with the likes of Mark Sale and Neil Trebble was plain criminal and it was no surprise when he was sacked just 4 months after letting Ellis go.His successor Gary Peters admitted that Beck made a mistake in letting him go solely for the reason that he was bigger than Beck at Deepdale and also more influential in the dressing room.Peters added that although Ellis could be hard work(something Owen Oyston also admitted to me)he could have lived with that due to the fact that he could guarantee you 25-30 goals a season. Believe me if I really did have a problem with Ellis going to Blackpool i would not have started the article as i did or i would have made some rather derogatory comments about him,which i didnt.

Also does my user page say i started [the Lancaster City F.C. article].Look carefully at it and it states that is is part of "My Contributions".If I had added something to it quite meaningless or just corrected something i would have put it in "Articles I Have Added To".The fact that I put a hell of a lot down is the reason i categorised it as i did.like its your buisness.You must lead a very sad and lonely life to go on as you do.Have you ever kissed a girl you prat.

Kyle Clancy/"Category:Year of birth"/"Category:Date of birth"
Greetings, Dudesleepersame as you, I'm working on a big project and, as they have it in that stub-sorting line, you can help just by continuing to do what you've been doing. My giant project, as I've written in my previous message to an administrator, is to properly organize the thousands of mis-alphabetized names in all of the "Category" listings. As you know if, at the bottom of "John Doe"'s stub or full bio, a "Category", such as "Category:Living people|Doe, John" is input as "Category:Living people" or "Category:Living people|John Doe", then "John Doe" will be alphabetized under "J", instead of "D". You've been doing it properly, but scores of other editors haven't been.

There is also another "Category" problem. We met at the Kyle Clancy edit, over the Category:Date of birth missing/Category:Year of birth missing uncertainty. Ideally for the sake of clarity, but awkwardly sounding, the Category:Date of birth missing should have been called Category:Year of birth present, but month and day missing and the Category:Year of birth missing should have been called Category:Day, month and year of birth missing.

There are nearly a thousand biographies which begin with either, for example, "John Doe (born 1950)" or "John Doe (1950&mdash;August 26, 2006)". Since the year of birth is not missing, these can only go into the Category:Date of birth missing. On the other hand, there are about ten times as many bios, especially stubs of present-day individuals, like Kyle Clancy, which then can only go into the Category:Year of birth missing.

Many editors hedge their bets by putting the no-date subjects of their biographies into both the "Date" and the "Year" Categories, reasoning that the "Date missing" Category must mean only the day and the month (August 26), and the "Year missing" Category must mean only the year (2006). At first, it seems to make sense, until we realize that the two Categories are mutually exclusive. If "John Doe" was only in Category:Year of birth missing, but not in Category:Date of birth missing, that would mean that his biography would have to begin with "John Doe (born August 26)", which, while popular when movie magazines write about actors, is never done in Wikipedia.

Also, if we were to use that method, there wouldn't even be any point in keeping both of the Categories &mdash; I recently offered a proposal to delete the Category:Year of birth missing and merge its contents into the more-readily-understood Category:Date of birth missing, but withdrew the idea almost immediately, realizing that to search out missing dates, we need every detail sorted in a separate "Category".

For example, yesterday I sorted a short entry on "Samuel Cromwell (died December 1, 1842)", who was hanged on a US Navy ship in mid-ocean on suspicion that he might be planning a mutiny. His bio was under Category:Date of birth missing, instead of the more correct Category|Year of birth missing. We know the exact date of his death, but his birth will probably always remain unknown. So I transferred him to a third, even-more-correct, Category:Date of birth unknown|Cromwell, Samuel, for long-ago individuals whose birthdate will probably never be known.

I hope all of the above provided some room for discussion on the Kyle Clancy "Year/Date" uncertainty and that you would let me know your thoughts on the subject and how you want to handle this "Category" in your future biographies and stubs. Romanspinner talk 07:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Elliott Smith
After he graduated he "worked in a bakery back in Portland with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and legal theory."

I grasped the irony in the sentence perfectly. My problem with the statement is not that it's ironic, but that it's badly contructed and doesn't cite a source for the quote. Care to correct? --S0uj1r0 04:19, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Corrected accordingly.

R.E.M. discography
What? What is the source that you provided? Even if you explained the difference between official and unofficial (and I'm not sure where that was explained either), it's a totally arbtirary distinction that you made up; it's meaningless. Why is one official and another not? Who cares? What if I think other albums aren't official? -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 17:18, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The source would be the R.E.M. website. If they don't list the three compilations in question, why should we (which we still are, for now)? If you can't take the word from "the horse's mouth" as official, what's the point in trying to reason with you any more? And the official/unofficial difference is explained on the relevant compilation pages (unless you've reverted those too). - Dudesleeper 17:30, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

R.E.M. discography, personal attacks, etc.
Posted at Talk:R.E.M. discography and User talk:Dudesleeper It's not cute or clever to pick fights with people and then ignore what they have to say when you call them on it (per 3RR complaints below.) A "poll" that lasts for a couple of days with three votes (not including the person who clearly had the dispute in the first place) is neither a legitimate poll, nor is it one with a "huge turnout." [Sarcasm missed - Ed.] Again, I have to ask if this is some kind of a joke.

I'll direct you to No personal attacks, too, since you've either never seen this before, or think it doesn't apply to you. The article talk namespace is intended for discussion about the template itself, not your personal opinions about or psychoanalysis of me. If you want to complain about me, that's why Wikipedia has the user talk namespace.

Let me "dumb this down" to "your level:" R.E.M. don't release albums. They are signed to record labels that release albums (e.g. IRS Records.) R.E.M. record music that is put on albums and then the record labels release them, with the band and the label making some money. This process is true in the case of all the compilations listed in the article; they're all official, because the band authorized the record label to release this material when they signed their names to a contract IRS Records (and consequently EMI) are appointed or authorized to act in a designated capacity. Does this make sense to you, because I'm still not seeing how this arbitrary division of "official" and "unofficial" is helpful to the reader, an actual division that exists somewhere other than your imagination, or meaningful toward editing this article. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 14:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi nice articles and categories but remember not to leave a gap between

Category:  and  Scotti   it needs to be    Category:Scottish without space otherwiese your categories don't register. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:12, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Your categories at the bottom of the page are perfect its just I had to correct the spaces


 * Yours was like this       Category:                   Scottish footballers|


 * Corrected should be       Category:Scottish footballers

no space between any of it is correct


 * Its just even though you categorised it correctly it didn't show up at the bottom of the page when you showed it so it looked like it wasn't categrized. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:19, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

There isn't actually an error here, even though it looks like there is.

Middle Names
Hi Dudesleeper

You may have noticed that all the players affected are of a certain vintage - its an old Scottish Football League Review from 1997-98. I think I’ve got a 1991-92 one kicking about as well somewhere. I'm assuming that as the all the info is correct as the league itself published the books. I don't suppose they make them anymore - like Scotland qualifying for major tournaments, sadly a thing of the past. Caledonian Place 23:47, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

football categories
On CFDU, there was a no-consensus discussion about the names of some football categories you created. I argued for changing them to the standard format in the ubercategory category:Wikipedian football (soccer) team fans: The nomination failed because some people thought the categories should be deleted entirely. Before I relist them, I wonder if you have an opinion, as they're categories you created. Thoughts?--Mike Selinker 22:40, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: Good Will Hunting
Dunno how to message you particularly, but...as far as the Mass Pike Good Will Hunting reference...there are several clues which show the scene to be on I-90 west in Massachusetts. If you pause as the car passes under a bridge, you can easily see that the sign on the bridge is for Pittsfield Road in West Stockbridge (maybe I should change that; I am referencing a map right now). Plus, the Mass Pike only has three full-highway tolls, and two are in urban areas of Eastern Mass (Weston and Allston) where the highway has three and four lanes each way. There is a sign in this scene which shows "toll plaza ahead" so it has to be out there. I have driven that section of I-90 many times, and in fact driven every section of the road which is tolled, and it matches perfectly with the scenes in the movie.

Sorry if this is misplaced...

Richard Thompson/Bonnie St. Johnstone
Nice to meet you Dudesleeper.

I'll have another listen, but he's explaining this song, written in the 1500's - 1600's, and notes it mentions Edinburgh, some other town I don't recall, and St. Johnstone of course. He then goes to explain how, in the intervening centuries, the town, once of significant enough import to get its own song, has now been mostly subsumed into Perth but the name lives on the football club. I can't vouch for his knowledge of Scottish history or geography and lord knows mine is non-existent so I apologize if I've got the citizens of St. Johnstone up in arms ("Part of Perth my ass!"), but yes, his point was the name lives on in the football club. I note when I search for it, it directs me to the football club, so he may be right. Perhaps you can add enough insight to support the removal of the word 'mostly' to clear things up.

U.K.
Why is it changing U.S. to US but ignoring, for example, U.K.? - Dudesleeper 03:21, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Dudesleeper. I think you might be a little confused. I'm actually changing "U.K." to "UK", and leaving "U.S." as is. The reason is mentioned in my talk page archives, it's simply that U.S. is the preferred abbreviation in America, and UK is the preferred abbreviation in the Commonwealth.This is documented in the Manual of Style. Hope this helps, CmdrObot 20:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was tired more than confused. To balance it up, I changed the U.S. to US after the bot had been through, not realising there was a rule against it. I'd change it back if it was of life-threatening importance, which, some will be surprised to read, it isn't. - Dudesleeper 03:25, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

 * What do you think of WP soccer in America being incorporated into a bigger project? Someone suggested it and I don't understand exactly what it would mean. XYZ CrVo 22:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

The page for WP Soccer and America User:XYZ CrVo/WikiProject Football (soccer) in the USA and Canada is up and running, but still in its beginning stages. Please leave any comments on the talk page of the project. Look how long the name is :) all because of political correctness. XYZ CrVo 03:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks and I don't think I can include myself in the list of members yet. XYZ CrVo 19:22, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

re: Category:Date of birth missing
Often, the year of birth is already in the article (and often not at the top where you'd expect it). Other times, Category:Year of birth missing is already on the page somewhere. When I notice that neither of those are present, I do try to change the category. If I missed one, please just fix it. Thanks. Rossami (talk) 22:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Cloak-&-Dagger.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Cloak-&-Dagger.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 16:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
