Fight Club
Hi, I was wondering if you could verify your edit here by providing a reliable source. Let me know if you can help in this regard! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 18:52, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the source, but I don't see where it says that the song is based on Fight Club. There's a lot of anti-corporate songs out there -- what makes you think that this one is specifically related to the film?  Has the artist said so?  You can respond with a comment here so we can have discussion. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 20:04, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * oh, i just figured this out. ok, so i know that he has said this in an interview but i can't find it. you can remove it until i find the proof. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ogieogilthorpe (talk • contribs) 17:14, December 1, 2007
 * Awesome, that would be great. By the way, you can sign a comment by typing four tildes (~) at the end of it.  I just signed your comment for you. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 21:21, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

cool thanks... how do you get a job like this? seems pretty cool. Ogieogilthorpe 06:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not a job at all. You know Wikipedia's mantra is that anyone can edit, but there's a learning curve to creating great articles.  I just enjoy editing film articles as it helps me learn about them.  I have no special credentials -- I've just learned to write bigger and better articles by looking at Featured Articles and discussing both articles and films with other editors.  Are you interested in improving any article on Wikipedia?  I can give you a few tips if you want. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 06:55, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

oh thats pretty cool. yea i'm new to editing, i love wikipedia though. it's good there is people like you that make sure everything is legit. i havent noticed to many articles that i want to change yet, but i'll defiantly let you know so i can get some tips. how do you get updated so quick on changes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ogieogilthorpe (talk • contribs) 03:00, December 2, 2007
 * If you look at the top right corner of the website, you'll see links like "my talk", "my preferences", etc. If you click on "my watchlist", you'll be taken to a list of articles and the latest changes to them.  Now, go to an article -- let's say Fight Club (film) -- and in the middle top of the article, there will be a tab that says "watch".  If you click on that, you can see the latest changes to the article on the watchlist.  I have over 400 articles on my template.  I know that you leave a new comment here because I have your user page on my watchlist.  You can also talk to me on my user talk page, but I'm centralizing discussion here to make it easy for the first time.  Let me know if you have any questions! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 07:09, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

ohhh, cool. quick question. i tried creating an article for a local band that had a pretty big influence on the local scene but it was deleted because of sector A7 or something. what determines what is worthy of being an aricle? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ogieogilthorpe (talk • contribs) 03:14, December 2, 2007
 * I guess that's the message you got below, right? Wikipedia limits content based on the topic's notability.  For the band in particular, you may want to look at Notability (music).  Also, it would be a good idea to find reliable sources covering the band.  Try to Google phrases related to the band and see what you can find.  (Fan websites are generally discouraged, though -- you want something like different local newspapers covering the band in question.)  You can start the article on your user page at User:Ogieogilthorpe/Dixon (band) and start editing until it's notable enough to be moved into the public eye.  I've done this with User:Erik/Nottingham (film) because the project is not in production, and there are factors that usually stop a film before it reaches that stage.  For the band, I can help you research it to see if it meets notability standards, but I need to get some sleep for the night.  Feel free to leave some more questions here, and I'll answer tomorrow. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 07:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

awesome thanks man.. i know they have had a article in the news tribune from like 2006. thats all i know about though. i'll search though.

I finished making the article as User:Ogieogilthorpe/Dixon (band), i just posted it as Dixon (band), we'll see if it gets deleted.

Speedy deletion of Dixon (band)
A tag has been placed on Dixon (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
