Category:The Clash singles
Hello, Pjoef. A while ago a decision was made to not categorize single releases separately from non-single songs. As such, I've suggested that the two The Clash categories be merged, here. That discussion has a link to one previous discussion, which in turn has links to a few others. If you have any comments about this move, or would like to discuss it, please do not hesitate to join the active conversation. Regards ×Meegs 01:42, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Clash singles chronology
Hi Pjoef and welcome to Wikipedia. It's an official policy here on Wikipedia that all claims should be attributable to a reliable, published source. It is helpful to other editors if you cite sources for your claims so that we can verify them.

I notice that your edits to the Clash singles chronology in various articles appear to conflict with this source. Can you please let me know what source you're using so that we can verify your claims? Thanks, Sideshow Bob Roberts 16:03, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, Sideshow Bob Roberts
 * I'm working on The Clash discography and I'm editing songs and albums articles to fit the Wikipedia standards. About the Clash singles chronology the main source are labels, sleeves, booklets and covers of 7" and 12" singles, albums and CD. Today I found this source . Now I'm comparing and working on that data.... (Pjoef 17:27, 5 September 2007 (UTC))

Redirect
Hi. I just want to tell you that you shouldn't create redirects of songs to the album page except for in rare instances. They give the misleading impression that the song has a page and it's even worse when they are linked from the album page (Thus, Garageland (song) redirects back to The Clash (album) when it's linked from that page. I will try to delete them when I have time. gren グレン 04:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Gren,
 * I'm so sorry, but right now I have little time to work on WikipediA, but I hope to work on these pages more in the next months. The redirections were intended as a temporary solution. Otherwise:
 * "“Linking to the specific album on which the song appears is preferable and linking to the artist should be done only when the album does not have a page on Wikipedia."


 * "There is consensus that the majority of songs do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Songs should only have an individual article if there is enough material to warrant a detailed article."


 * "To add a redirect to this category, put R from song after the redirect but on the same line (The redirect works only if in the first line, and any lines following the redirect line are ignored).” — from Redirects from songs (that's the opposite of what you wrote!)"


 * I think that we must add the redirect but to the relative album and a redirect to the category R from song on every page without enough material to be a good article. Today, I worked on this, but the result is little good. Also, I made some changes in your Watchlist about The Clash (User:Grenavitar/Watchlist:The Clash). Songs, EPs, Compilations and Albums are retrivied, in alphabetical order, from their categories, Category:The Clash songs and Category:The Clash albums.


 * Cheers, and have a nice weekend!

Too many line breaks
Hi there. I notice you keep inserting multiple line breaks when you edit articles, for example here. Note that inserting that many line breaks causes the articles themselves to get extra line breaks, which is inappropriate. I've reverted such changes of yours on multiple occasions, for example here. Please take care not to insert that many line breaks. Thanks in advance. --PEJL 12:23, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi PEJL,
 * Thank you for the information. I retrivied more from Manual of Style:
 * "“Spaces above and below headings are completely optional. Spaces between the==and the heading text are also optional ( vs ).  With the current MediaWiki software, these extra spaces will not affect the appearance of the heading in any way; the rendered page is identical.  Multiple blank lines will add white space, ...” —  see more"


 * Inserting one or more line breaks after a heading doesn't causes the articles to get extra line breaks. It only facilitates the editing, and the source code becomes easier to read. Otherwise, a selective inserting of more than one line break before a Heading produces, in some cases, a more legible articles. — Thank you again, (Pjoef 14:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC))


 * Inserting one or two line breaks in succession generally doesn't cause the article to get extra line breaks. Whether doing so makes the code easier to read is debatable, and not something I'd like to debate here. But inserting more than two line breaks in succession generally causes the article to get extra line breaks, which is what is inappropriate. If articles needed more line breaks to be legible, they would have that extra margin by default. Editors should not add additional margins into articles. I see on your user page that you consider yourself an HTML/CSS professional. As such, I'm sure you'll agree that  (which is what additional line breaks generate) is inappropriate HTML markup. --PEJL 14:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * OK PEJL! In any case, I haven't inserted more than two line breaks, and if I did it was on my error and I am sorry.
 * Thank you again, and peace to you! — (Pjoef 15:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC))


 * No problem. --PEJL 15:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Clash song articles
Hi, and thank you for your contributions. However Notability (music) has "Most songs do not merit an article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for a prominent album or for the artist who wrote or prominently performed the song. A separate article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; permanent stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album. Wikipedia:Verifiability states: "If an article topic has no reputable, reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on that topic.”" and I think these would be better as redirects to London Calling. --John 03:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I've now done that, and I am truly sorry to have had to undo so much of your well-intentioned hard work. I think there may be other ways you can help improve our coverage of The Clash which will be more beneficial to our users than creating articles on every single song they released. --John 05:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, John
 * I don't think so! I want to explain to you from my point of view:


 * A song without its own article could be not categorized;


 * if an user wants to know more about a song, find those informations on the relative album/artist article is not a good choice;


 * if someone wants to add some information about a song, its own article is the right place to do that;


 * the extra track listing template (you have deleted) is (IMO) the best way to navigate across the tracks of an album;


 * there are a lot of stubs on Wikipedia and the majority of songs do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines!


 * In my opinion, an article for all of the songs recorded by The Clash is the best (and right) choice! — Cheers, (Pjoef 12:34, 12 October 2007 (UTC))


 * I appreciate your opinion but I'm afraid the notability guidelines take higher priority as they constitute a consensus formed over a long period by many users. It may be true that many song articles do not meet our notability standards, but that is not a case for keeping poor articles but perhaps for changing the other unsatisfactory ones to redirects or deleting them. Let me know if there are specific ones you have in mind. --John 18:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

The Clash
Hey, thanks for your message. I have removed the intro length template. It would have helped if I had left a message on the article talk page addressing my concerns, as was my intention, but I got distracted, and failed to do so. I appreciate your edits (all of them, as you have done great work recently on the article), and the fact that you discussed the matter with me rather than simply removing the template yourself. Cheers! --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive'  23:26, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: French spacing
I have never set out to edit an article merely to remove the double spacing, but have only done so if I was in the midst of making other edits. I do not even really do it consciously, it has just always been a change I've made as a matter of course. I do not see the necessity for it, but if you would prefer, I'll not do so on The Clash article. --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive'  15:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

London Calling 01
The main concern was that the books weren't cited in the article yet, hence the section retitling. I've noticed some editors like to list books even if they aren't used in the article, and it confuses things. As the article is up for a GA nomination, I thought it was best to make a distinction. By all means list the books if they are cited directly in the article, but it's best not to do it before, because they haven't been used yet. WesleyDodds (talk) 09:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

London Calling 02

Motto of the day
Hello, I notice you're using one of the motd templates, run by Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hers fold  (t/a/c) 03:36, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure, there's no rush - it looks like my notices got the attention I was looking for. :-) MOTD is a really very informal project. Anyone can suggest a possible motto at WP:MOTD/N - it can be serious, funny, a quote, anything, but the only requirement is that is has to somehow reflect Wikipedia's purpose or community. Often we help this along with links to various pages (e.g. "→Another One Bites the Dust" - that one might not get used because it's a bit negatively toned, but you get the point). Other editors then come along and decide whether or not they like the motto, and vote for or against it. Sometimes suggestions get made on how to improve the motto, and those are voted on similarly (I say vote here, because even though this is technically based on consensus as well, all the comments are essentially "I like it" type things). After two weeks discussion, the motto is either approved for use and put in the schedule, relisted, or rejected. Once an approved motto's day comes up, it appears in the template for everyone to see.

Message from WikiProject Punk music
Hello!

You may be interested to know that WikiProject Punk music has recently undergone a major revitalization. Please visit the project page to see our new look and check out some of our helpful new features, such as the Assessment Department and the Collaboration of the week. There are also a number of tasks on our Things to do page that you may be interested in helping with.

We are currently holding a roll call to help gauge how many active project members we have. Please visit the project's talk page and add your signature to the roll sheet to express your continued interest in the project. Also, if you have not already done so, please take a minute to add your name to the Participants page along with a brief summary of your punk-related interests, so that other project members will be better able to collaborate with you. If you do not add your signature to the roll sheet by November 30, 2008 your name will be moved to our list of inactive members. We may also take the liberty of removing the project userbox from your userpage if it appears there, to prevent you from automatically appearing in Category:WikiProject Punk music members. Of course you are free to rejoin the project and re-add the userbox at any time if you would like to become active in the project again.

Thank you and we hope you will continue to support WikiProject Punk music!

Motto of the Day Free Ice Cream Day!


By Imperial Decree of His Divine Majesty, our Most Sublime Padishah God-Emperor, Car'a'carn, Editor-in-Chief, etc. (may he live for ever) of the Dominion of the Motto of the Day, every Thursday is Free Ice Cream Day throughout the the Realm. Therefore, our glorious ruler (may he live for ever) has caused to be delivered to you by the Ministry of Frozen or Otherwise Cold Desert Treats this ice cream treat (which may include gelato, depending on one's interpretation of the picture). Let it be eaten without delay, lest the heat of the servers melt it. Let it not drip onto the Article Namespace, lest you suffer the Death of a Thousand Edits for allowing unencyclopedic melted desert treat to get into the wiki.

Hello
Hi, I had a hard time finding someone with js experience. You see, I have this Java script that lets me edit Wikipedia that someone gave me to help me make large amounts of Insect species. But I want to learn how it works, sense I have no prior experience with programming. I also want to know how I can make the abbreviation, if you need further elaboration, or you want me to send you the script via E-mail (Because it would be like gold to vandals) just tell me on my talk page. Buɡboy52.4 (talk) 04:17, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I tried learning it, but its just a bit to difficult for now. But the script isn't loose. Meaning that I could only insert infermation that will be replicated for all the pages, and were I had ***, will be replaced by the name of the articles. For example, If you compare Bactromantis virga & Bactromantis mexicana, they have the same content except for three places the page title is, were I put the ***. If you look down to the references, they both have the same reference, and now compare them to Bantia chopardi & Bantia fusca, they have the same references, except for the name of the previous genus replaced by the new genus. And as you can see, the genus is stated as the first part of the binomial name, as Bantia fusca's genus is Bantia, is it possible to program it to remove the last part of the binomial name, from Bantia fusca to just Bantia; possible indicating this action with only two, **. Another problem is the taxobox, were the species is indicated, the binomial name should be abbreviated to B. fusca, can this be programed too, maybe with only one, *. Tell me your E-mail, or some other way to give you the script. Buɡboy52.4 (talk) 19:32, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Armenian infrastructure
Hi,

I was actually passing by to discuss this edit. I don't think it's noteworthy; since every government needs infrastructure, it stands to reason that every government, every administration would maintain existing infrastructure and build new one. It only becomes relevant in an encyclopædic article if the infrastructure is in some regard noteworthy -- perhaps maintained exceptionally well or exceptionally poorly, or based on unusual technological solutions such as the Sharopoyezd. Would you agree? ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 10:42, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I regret that you confused my remark as being of political nature. I would like to emphasise that it is not; the question is only what and how should be reflected in Wikipedia articles for them to be appropriately encyclopædic.
 * With that in mind, would you agree that a baseline level of infrastructure construction is not something that would need to be explicitly mentioned in the narrative of Armenia? ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 11:08, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I see. I admit I'm a bit new to this; perhaps another way to approach this should be used.

If you're not interested in discussing it, I won't bother you anymore with this topic. ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 08:08, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Discogs
Hey, thanks for the reply. Of course exceptions can be made for certains cirumcstances, and I completely understand your viewpoint, but we do have to maintain consistency. If we allow this for the Buzzcocks, do we allow it for every list that is missing articles? It's a quite large inclusion you have there, and in my opinion (and i believe the general consensus around Wikipedia) the releases that do have articles for that exact information should not have it repeated in a discography. As it stands however, they are only guidelines, not policies, so if you wish to provide this extensive amount of information, i guess you have every right to for now. But if someone, someday decidesto contest the content, then you have a case on your hands. You're probably best to take it to the MOS:DISCOG talk page and hopefully you'll get some replies/opinions. Who knows, you might make a major difference?

Also, I've had a quick look over The Clash discography, some major things I observed: The three sections should be condensed into the lead - read WP's rules on leads, it needs to summarise the content of the list (which is what has been done in those sections, it just needs to be moved to the lead. You could probably find some more international charts, surely they charted in my home country of Aus back in the day at least? Only the original release date, label, and version needs to be listed on a discography - it doesn't need to be concise per say, just enough to give people a general outline. I've seen this done in many older articles, but I rarely see it now, probably because it has been outlawed - the sections being separated into UK and US that is. Music videos table doesn't require an Albums column. And I wouldn't encourage including a Filmography in a Discography - two entirely different things - should just be in The Clash article. Feel free to ask for more comments, I'll help whenever I have the time. Cheers. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 13:12, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Looking over the Filmography, they're not all actual films. The Video albums (live DVDs, self-made docos) should be included in a section title Video albums. As for any proper films, in a Filmography in the main article, if it gets deleted we have a case - they have articles and do not belong in the discog. The problem is going to be deciphering what belongs where.
 * I think having track listings included is just way too much in the list/table, even if they are hidden you have links inside links inside sections inside tables, it's just too much.
 * Music videos are still primarily used for the promotion of the single - which just above have the album listed right beside them. It's just repeating info really?
 * That Beatles discog is never going to be featured the way it is, there is just too much. It's supposed to be comprehensive yes, but not so extensive. And I can't stand things being split into UK and US, such a small scope. k.i.a.c  (talktome - contribs) 04:14, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I have posted a section asking about the box sets, I'm not too sure. You'll probably have to assess them, make sure they're official, notable and I'm sure they'll be okay to list. Let's just wait and see what they say. k.i.a.c  (talktome - contribs) 13:38, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

About Latin Mottos
First of all the English word "MOTTO" derives from Latin! More precisely, it derives from Italian, which in its turn is derived from Latin! 2nd: Ask to some Colleges, Universities, Schools, States, Countries, Armies, Organizations,... to do not write their mottos in Latin! 3rd: I'm "exploring" this Category (Latin mottos) and the List of Latin phrases (full), and I'm also trying to propose a quote from Literature works and a Latin motto every week. I think that a Latin motto per week is not too much.... But, if they are going to be a problem... then I can put them away! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 10:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * My opinion of the matter is this: the more obscure of them should probably be translated from Latin. For the more well known of them I'm happy if they stay in Latin with the English translation alongside. I probably made a mistake to oppose Carpe diem. ;)
 * Sometimes, but not often, the sentence structure is a little confusing, so in those cases it may be worth linking both the Latin and the English translation. All in all I'm okay if we keep having the Latin motto's (after all our wide readership hasn't come and burnt WP:MOTD down, yet!), but I do think that for some of the less well known quotes we would do well to maybe have them in English. Obviously this is only my opinion, kind regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 10:53, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Pepsi Motto Approval
Pjoef, I don't usually do this, but I must object to your approval of the Pepsi motto. Two Weak Supports, a Very Weak Support and an Oppose to not make consensus, in my opinion. At best, that motto should have been re-opened for further discussion. I won't undo your decision, but I strongly urge you to return it to the in review page for further consideration. Nutiketaiel (talk) 12:02, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * What is "bland" consensus, anyway? It just seems to me that three people weakly supporting it and one person outright opposed would be no consensus, not a "bland" consensus to use it.  I'm not saying it can't pass, I just think that, with such a lack of consensus, it should have been reopened for further discussion rather than approved, and it's not too late to do that.  I know that sometimes we get a little hard pressed for mottos, but the answer is not to approve bad ones without consensus; that will just make the situation worse by lowering our standards.  I again urge you to return the motto to the in review page for more discussion.  Nutiketaiel (talk) 17:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Core films parameter
Hi - noticed that you may have added the "core" parameter to the Film banner on several talk pages. However, the parameter isn't added to articles on a per-user basis. For more information on how the parameter is used, I'd refer you to WP:FILMCORE. Generally, the list is relatively static over time, and usually reassessed on a yearly basis. This is essential so as to keep our core article list stable, uncontentious, and limited in number.

Template:Pink Floyd
I can't figure out the meaning of the edit summary on this change, "unbolding members (or the template doesnt show the status correctly)". What do you mean by status? If it has to do with current vs. past members, bold text does not imply one or the other, especially since there is not a mixture of bold and non-bold, before or after the edit. When questions about navbox standards for musicians have come up, it has been noted that there really are no rules or standards; the few that exist are found here, and they say nothing about how a list of members is to be formatted. The old version of the template looks a little neater in my opinion, because all text in the grey area above and to the left of the main big white box was bold, and therefore in uniform font. Sorry for waiting a few days after the edit to ask this; I was trying to decide if it was too trivial a point to raise, but it's been bugging me. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 09:04, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Got it. Next question is, shouldn't the list of headings along the left side, and the navbox title itself, be unbolded since they are also links?  I notice there is no advice about this at the link above, nor at WP:NAV which has more general info about navboxes (it doesn't even mention the feature of the current article's name becoming unlinked and bold), nor does the former help page link to the latter.  There seems to be room for improvement in the documentation. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 19:40, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Scratch the above; I just realized headings are bolded automatically, so it's a deliberate feature of navboxes and a non-issue. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 13:19, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Talkheader + WPBS
Hi. I noticed the work you do to assess films and tidy talk pages. I would like to write you 2-3 things mainly as an advice:
 * Not all talk pages need talk header. Better add it only to those which you think are visited by a lot of viewers and/or to those who have a lot of forum-like messages
 * Better use {tl|talk header}} instead of "talkheader" (add a space between) to make it easier to read for other editors
 * For the same reason add WikiProjectBannerShell instead of WPBS. Certainly don't do this! -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:32, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Great. Thanks. Happy editing! -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:57, 8 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I've also notice your additions of Talk page headers . Please remember that Talk header should not be automatically added to talk pages. It should only be added to talk pages that have a clear need for it. Also, The banner shell should not be added if there are only a couple of project banners on a talk page. Even with three banners its use is marginal and probably best left alone. —Farix (t &#124; c) 19:05, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Book:Louis Armstrong
Hi, thanks for creating Book:Louis Armstrong. However, as of now, no one knows it exists, so it would be a good idea to go on relevant Louis-Armstrong-related pages and add in the See also or External links sections. This way, other people will be able to read this book. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 08:22, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Same for Book:Johnny Cash. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 08:27, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And probably the same for all these. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 08:48, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

 * BTW, good work on finding these books covers and fixing problems as you came across them. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:33, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you so very much! I think that this idea of collecting articles into books is really great. Time permitting, I hope to contribute to creating new books and fixing problems on already existing books. There are some issues to sort out. It would be great if we could include only parts/sections of an article. For example, to skip an entire section when it contains the link to the main article about it, so we cold be able to insert the main article into the book, and then return to the next section of the previous article... and so on. I have other ideas more or less useful and more or less feasible. Maybe one day I will write something about these ideas on the WikiProject related to books. Cheers! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 16:25, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

By the way, it's become pretty standard to link the book in the relevant navbox (such as in Lady Gaga), and it's much effort than placing Wikipedia-Books in zillions of articles. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 17:58, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

MOTD Problem
The Motto that I suggested, this one, was copied to the specials section, and the one you approved was meant to be ignored, unless the other failed. And of course, I didn't catch it. Before you closed the one that you did, that motto already was scheduled to be on May 25, Towel Day. Since mottos supposedly can't be reused, can this one not be on Towel Day now? Or do we just get to all hope that nobody notices? :) Hi878 (talk) 21:34, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

You can review and comment the nominations in the following sections: In review and Specials. The second section is for mottos/nominations for a specific date, but the most of the nominations go in WP:MOTD/N/IR. The discussion process is the same as on Featured picture candidates. If you approve or oppose a nomination, just write Support or Oppose followed by your reasons. You can also suggest changes to improve the existing nominations. If you have an idea for a new motto place your suggestions on those sections for review and consideration, and follow the instructions there for the correct procedure on how to do this. A nomination should be not approved if it has been used before, and it's also a good idea to create a set of links that points to Help, WikiProjects, Policies, Guidelines, Essays pages and NOT TO ARTICLES IN THE MAINSPACE (The encyclopedia part of Wikipedia.)

Are you hiding from us? There have been thirteen nominations since you last nominated one. :) Hi878 (talk) 00:28, 28 May 2010 (UTC)


 * No, I am not hiding from you (^___^). Usually, I nominate a couple of quotes and do all the work for the discussions, approval and archive processes once a week on every Tuesday or so. But, in the last three weeks I had to be back on the approval process again and again, and in a couple of times I had to approve a motto for the same day in which it has been scheduled. So, on May 13, I have decided to invite some editors, who placed —and are proudly showing— a MOTD's template on their user/user talk pages, to join our project for revamping it. Now that things seem to be going well and it is all clear, I think I will return to my weekly job (^___^). However, yesterday I was pretty busy, but I remain at your disposal.

Support (both versions, there is not a big difference between them) + comment: I think that the Poet of Piano was not paid for his Étude Op. 10, No. 12. La Pianista, check out this link when you get a moment. I would like to know your opinion. It's not Richter, Ashkenazy, or Pollini... but he is studying this Revolutionary piece of Art, and IMHO he is making progress. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 07:49, 13 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Re Pjoef Yes, he's making progress (is that perchance you playing? :). It's better than many others' renditions I've heard - believe me, I've heard many. Sure, there are more than a few things I disagree with, in which I will indulge myself by speaking in uncomfortably large detail.


 * Better right hand legato - he has the hand for a 5-4 octave pair if he wanted to. He should relax the lower voices in practice and work on that legato between 5 and 4. It is supremely important to keep the other fingers relaxed, else the legato will not be natural, he'll hit wrong notes, and some notes won't even sound. Purely as an exercise, he could play the chord, play every voice but the top staccato, and keep the top molto legatissimo.


 * More voicing in top of right hand - he can do this by subtly angling his hand towards the smaller fingers, thus putting more weight there.


 * More carefully-planned resolutions - 0:40, for example. The D should be softer than the E-flat before it. If you were to sing this passage, you wouldn't do the opposite, would you? It is ungraceful (not that he was doing that - he was playing them at equal dynamics).


 * Better tone control by keeping the hand close to the key - this mostly applies to the right hand. If he put his hand on the key before playing it, he wouldn't have that wooden, physical bump that comes purely from a quick descent straight into the keybed. It's that "knock-on-wood" sound that's barely perceptible but makes a huge difference in the end. In addition, a lot of energy is wasted in the force that is rebound, per Newton's third law. If he kept close to the key, he could play loudly with a quick burst of energy and immediately relax (after all, what use is there for tension after a key is played? The sound decays immediately, there's nothing you can do) and prepare for the next chord.


 * Reduce the amount of extraneous movement in the left hand, especially the chromatic 1:07 section- it's good to keep the arm free, but too much movement is more of an impediment than a help. It throws the hand off balance and creates more tension as the pianist tries to keep things straight. Like Dr. José Feghali once mentioned in a masterclass I attended, capable pianists don't have to convince themselves of relaxation with unnecessary movements. Freedom should be felt within and observed through paying close attention to what their body is telling them. Of course, total relaxation is impossible (else, pianists would be reduced to a drooling, half-awake mess that has fallen off the bench), but we should strive for minimal tension at all costs.


 * Most minor thing of all - I would recommend not letting go of the right hand during the left hand "solo" passagework. For one thing, it is slightly unprofessional, and his body language shows that he is struggling. Inner dialogue: I'm so focused on this left hand right now. In the meanwhile, let's get this right hand out of the way.


 * Overall, relatively small things, besides that bit about relaxation - as you say, he is no Richter. If this etude has caused him any pain - even a tingly sensation in undesirable - I would strongly advise him to be careful and start some relaxation exercises, which he may find in Alan Fraser's book, The Craft of Piano Playing (which I cannot link to on WP, since it would be spamming :P ). &mdash; La Pianista  ♫ ♪ 06:42, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Also, I think we should award some old contributors who are now not so "active", but with a different motivation. For example :

"This award is given to you for your long time and outstanding support to Motto of the day. We hope you will be back soon!"

Summer 2010 MOTD Barnstars Discussion
Thanks for your attention. I've placed 11 (eleven) talkback templates on the talk pages of the decision makers/archivists of MOTD and the most experienced/long time contributors to MOTD: <ul> <li>✅ – </li> <li>✅ – </li> <li> </li> <li>✅ – </li> <li>✅ – </li> <li>✅ – </li> <li> </li> <li>✅ – </li> <li>✅ – </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> </ul> ✅ (per consensus; 8 in support and 0 opposed; ROFLMAO) –p joe f (talk • contribs) 07:12, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

I would like to award our participants with the MOTD Barnstar because we have mottoes until the end of the summer, but I would like to do it on behalf and in the name of our project. So I need/want your support and I will wait for your suggestions and opinions about it. For more info and a comprehensive list of eligible contributors please CLICK HERE! (I copied most of the contents here in the above section.) Please, reply here on this talk page (you can also edit these sections, of course, because, if we go on with this proposal, we will use these lists and messages.) Thank you in advance. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 12:27, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for the offer. On the sandbox page, numbers are listed beside the names of each user, for example mine is 4 (4/0). I understand that the number represents the number of edits each user has made in a specific time period, but what are the numbers in brackets? Also, do we just take a barnstar with the message shown on the page and timestamp it? I do realize I created this barnstar, by the way. xD Thanks. ~ A  H  1 (TCU) 14:47, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I'm asking all of you the permission to do it on behalf of MOTD. Then, either I or one of us will deliver the barnstars. The lists come out from the following two queries:<ul><li>In review Contributors since 2010-05-26 00:00:00, until 2010-07-20 10:00:00 </li><li>Decisions Contributors since 2010-05-26 00:00:00, until 2010-07-20 10:00:00 </li></ul>I think that the first number into the round brackets is the number of "good" edits and the second is the number of deleted/reverted edits on that page(s). Please, check out if I did it right or not! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:16, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Btw, the number of contributions to the decisions section by person may not be respresentative of how many they close. Whenever I've closed mottos in the past, i do not do them individually but close them in bulk when there are more than one to close. Also, what of other older editors that have contributed to the project in the past but have not been seen in the past few years? Or am i blowing this out of proportion? Simply south (talk) 17:28, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, what of the deletionists who have contributed through deletions? E.g. ? Simply south (talk) 17:31, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I've copied and pasted both lists from the toolserver.org page. The number of edits (IMHO) is not very important, the sum of 3 edits in the Nominations and Decisions/Archives section and not in the same day seem to be enough to me. I think that the barnstars/awards will "spur" (a bit) new & old contributors. It was something I would liked to do on last Christmas/New Year Day, but I was very busy (as always ~ lol) and I didn't. I copied the list on top of this section... and Amalthea is not in that list. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 18:23, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Amalthea is the current resident deletionist i go to when the schedule has been archived. They do batch deletions on the months, hence why previous months in the schedule are redlinked. Simply south (talk) 19:35, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Well i thought this was just about recognising people who have contributed to MOTD, especially recently. I think he should but i don't know where he should be placed. Simply south (talk) 22:00, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I think he is the man who increased my number of deleted edits from a couple of dozen to 381 ~ lol ~ I added his username on top of the firt list. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 22:23, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Wait, so you want to give us barnstars, but you want my support for it? I can't find a reason for me not to want barnstars. :P <font face="Verdana"> Simon KSK  17:39, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, something like that ~ lol ~ I could give you ALL the barnstars but (porbably) I will receive back tens of barnstars ~ lol ~ and that is not my intention, so I would like to form & have the consensus for delivering the barnstars in the name and on behalf of MOTD. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 18:31, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * This is a great idea. I support it.-- LAA Fan  01:26, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Nice idea. BTW what are the ticks for?  Kayau  Voting  IS   evil 09:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * There is not a scale or a unit of measurement. The idea is to award all the contributors and supporters of our project. I took into consideration the period from the nominations (25 May 2010) approved for the first day of summer (21 June 2010) until yesterday (20 July 2010). Then I crossed out who did just one edit and only in one day. In any case, the list is above, any suggestion for the inclusion or exclusion of usernames/editors/participants is more than welcome. Feel free to edit the above list(s) and to write a rationale (here or there.) –p joe f (talk • contribs) 10:35, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think this is a great idea, even though it would leave me with two MOTD barnstars. Don't forget one for yourself! But in that case, if you're the one giving out the barnstars then wouldn't the message be shown as self-awarded? ~ A H  1 (TCU) 14:28, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That is NOT a problem (^___^)!!! Anyway, I would like to ask Simply south (as senior editor of MOTD) if he is available and want to deliver the barnstars on behalf of MOTD, and, in this case, I will give the award to him. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:04, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I like the idea. I'm all for it. And yes, the "Hi878 isn't home" account is mine. Unbelievable that you weren't sure about it. :) I don't think that I need one of them, though, unless you think I need a third one of these. :)  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 00:48, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * So...the candidates for the barnstars are voting on whether or not they'll get one? Sweeet. Strong support fifty barnstars going to La Pianista. I don't know her very well, but rumor has it she's Tabasco.
 * Hot.
 * Sauce.
 * In any case, great idea, pjoef! I only have one complaint, though...where in hell's bathroom are you? I demand to see pjoef on that list immediately, or I shall play John Cage for forty-eight hours straight. In your bedroom. &mdash; La Pianista  ♫ ♪ 04:20, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm a huge fan of John Cage and I was on his train, in search for the lost silence, together with a progressive rock band, musicians, poets, actors, and artists of (or closer to) the Fluxus movement. The train was stuffed with loudspeakers, microphones, tape recordings, amplifiers... all producing random stuff and sound, and all under the direction of John Cage. So, it would be a great pleasure to listen to you playing (for 8 hours ~ not a minute more or less!!!) the Music of the MAESTRO!!! Seriously, I think that the consensus has been reached. Now, I will ask Simply south, if he wants to deliver all the awards, otherwise I will do it. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 07:12, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

I just realized something. You seem to have forgotten about the Specials page. :) Seems I'm the only one who doesn't. ;)  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 17:28, 22 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it's all encompassing. Btw, i can't really award myself though but i will do all the others. Also there is no top person really although i suppose i could be called senior for being the project's oldest (lengthwise) still-active editor. And I'll do the others. Simply south (talk) 17:35, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

My goodness, La Pianista! Why did you have to do that! Pjoef was the only one with a higher number of edits to the In Review page than me, so now I'm number two... Sniff... :P  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 20:48, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no problem with the Specials page. I copied the two lists and their codes on Simply south's talk page. And, he is delivering the barnstars. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 21:16, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Norfolk Coast
Hi

I noticed your edits to the Norfolk Coast db page. It may have escaped your notice but the Norfolk coast does not stop at Winterton - It may be that "some people describe you as a genius" but I think that genius sometimes leads to missing the obvious :¬)

Can you perhaps return there and change it ? While I appreciate that the majority of the coast of Norfolk is indeed covered by the AONB but Hemsby, Newport, Scratby, California, Caistor-on-sea, Great Yarmouth, Gorleston and Hopton-on-sea could get very upset if they are not included as part of the coastline ?

This was something I tried to keep in mind when I edited the db page - it needs changing to become factually accurate.

Are you something to do with an association linked to the AONB?

Chaosdruid (talk) 15:41, 30 July 2010 (UTC)


 * And of course the point I was making is that "the Norfolk coast" is not the same as "the Norfolk coastal AONB"
 * You have changed the definition of "the Norfolk Coast" to be "the Norfolk Coastal AONB" which is much shorter.
 * "Thanks for the advice, but... ~ lol ~ I've just copied the first line from its own article " - No you did not. You copied the first line from "Norfolk Coast AONB" and put it in a disambiguation page for "Norfolk Coast".
 * You may not have noticed but the article "Norfolk Coastal AONB" is not an article on "The Norfolk Coast" and is not about the whole of the Norfolk coast? I should correct your mistake ? I do not think that your idea is appropriate. I think you should fix your own mistake.
 * Chaosdruid (talk) 17:51, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Please see: Organization of disambiguation pages. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 19:01, 30 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Why ? do you think that a Stranglers album is more notable than the coast of Norfolk or is there some other point you are trying to make. Chaosdruid (talk) 19:19, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That was the reason why I added the introductory line with The North Norfolk Coast area, but that is just a portion of the Norfolk Coast (I did not know about it before.) So, it is not the primary topic. Also, entries should be ordered to best assist the reader in finding their intended article. And, IMHO, the alphabetical order is always the best solution. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 19:54, 30 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for understanding my point on the coastline being more than just the AONB - the reason the rest is not included is that many of them are true seaside towns with beach–fronts made in the classic Victorian style and piers etc as well ending at Gt Yarmouth and the "wonderful" docks (lots of oil and gas pipeline supplies and terminals). I am also a Stranglers fan and have been since I saw them in Manchester in the late 70s - although my brother was a much bigger fan and was inspired by JJB to take up Thai boxing later that year :¬)
 * I can see your reasoning there although the small point of factoring notability in on that matter can also be mentioned. I would prefer that the stranglers album is not at the top due to the Google search results. I know that the Wiki traffic is marginally higher for the album but I'll let you see what I mean.
 * Norfolk coast by the Stranglers : Google search gives 36,400 results : Wiki traffic 306
 * Norfolk coast : Google  gives 2,830,000 results (although you can subtract the 36,400 that are prob in there from the stranglers also)
 * I cannot really do a Wiki traffic to summarise the coast itself but if we were to take just Happisburgh alone that would give 742 and Great Yarmouth would give 5,707. To be more fair we could do one on just one beach in the AONB say Holkham and Holkham bay gives 966 +75
 * Perhaps you can see why I seem a little insistent now Chaosdruid (talk) 20:19, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes! Great band! One of my favourites. The Stranglers' album is now at the bottom of the list, but I think that a factually accurate introductory line about the Norfolk coast would be the best solution. I tried to find out something about that place, but I found articles about the North Norfolk Coast and a lot of family resorts (^___^). –p joe f (talk • contribs) 21:12, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

the Public Policy Initiative Assessment Team wants You!
Hi Pjoef, I got your name from the Editorial Team participant list, and wanted to tell you that we will be testing out assessment metrics in the Wikiproject: United States Public Policy. It looks like a lot of your interests are policy related, and I was hoping you would be interested in assessing articles with the Public Policy Initiative. There is more info about assessment on the 9/13/2010 Signpost. If you're interested or just curious you can sign up on the project page or just contact me. Thanks! ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 16:26, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for joining the PPI Assessment Team. There is a request for you to review some articles and a description of assessment logistics on the WP:USPP Assessment Page. ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 16:50, 23 September 2010 (UTC)


 * You raised some important points about assessment in PPI, I responded on the assessment talk page. I hope the peculiarities of the project don't discourage you from wanting to participate in assessment. ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 22:28, 24 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi pjoef, thank you for assessing articles in the   Wikiproject: United States Public Policy. This project is probably different than other assessment drives you have worked on, it involves more assessment of lower ranked articles, it has input and staff from the foundation, and specific goals to improve and measure content of public policy articles. It also involves collaboration from some university classes, we are using an experimental assessment rubric, and most articles will be assessed by multiple reviewers to get a range of scores for each article. I have learned a lot from many of the  assessors comments and am really excited about the insight from this group of Wikipedians. I hope you are finding some benefits to involvement in this project. 1) your assessments are part of research that is attempting to increase credibility of Wikipedia in academic circles, 2) there is a great group of assessors involved in discussion of what is article quality and how to measure it, 3) WP:USPP is also piloting the Article Feedback tool, so if interested, those involved in assessment on the project will be asked to help improve and rate this tool as well, and 4) subject matter experts are assessing articles alongside Wikipedians and comparisons of results will provide some insight as to the rigor of Wikipedia quality rating.


 * To give you an update on assessment, about half of the assessments are complete for the first part of this first assessment. I had some trouble finding public policy experts to join us in assessing, but finally managed to recruit a group last week, hopefully some of them will join the discussion on the assessment talk page. Next week, I should have some preliminary results to share with you, I will also post the second assessment request very soon. The discussion on the talk page is very exciting, and I hope if you are interested, you will provide input on the Article Feedback Tool which is being piloted on articles in WP:USPP. Please let me know if there is anything I and the project team can do to make working on this project a more positive experience. Thanks again, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 23:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject:The Clash
Hi...I haven't actually contributed anything yet but I used to hang with and work for them from the earliest days of making The Clash album to when Mick got kicked out/Cut The Crap so I know a lot. I was especially close to Joe Strummer; he was like a big brother to me. I was even in his short movie Hell W10. The problem is, most of the stuff I can contribute can't be sourced since we didn't have the Internet then. I guess I could best help in an advisory capacity if you'd like to use me for the Project. Plus I have a bunch of pix.--Piepie (talk) 18:42, 23 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Very cool. Yeah, it's a shame about Wikipedia's stringent citation rules cos most of the stuff I could bring to the table is non existent on the Interbutts. Did you read Strummer's bio Redemption Song? If not you should pick up a copy. Chris Salewicz did a bang-up job. But I should at least get my old pix scanned and uploaded to Commons. As for Hell W10, it's on YouTube y'know. --Piepie (talk) 17:27, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

PPI Assessment Update
Thanks for contributing to WP:USPP, your assessments are a part of a deeper look at assessing article quality in Wikipedia. The quality and rationality behind the assessment scores by the Wikpedians on this project is really impressive, it is an insightful and knowledgeable group. There is some information about preliminary results of assessment data on the project assessment talk page, I hope you check it out and add your thoughts. There is also an additional article assessment request for you. This assessment set will wrap up the first experiment which analyzes the consistency of the quantitative metric and compares subject matter expert assessment to Wikipedian assessment.

The second experiment will start in November and you will be asked to assess articles and also provide feedback on the Article Feedback Tool. The results of that experiment will compare your idea of article quality to the ranking from the Article Feedback Tool and your input will help improve that tool. I hope you enjoy being a part of this research, I am pretty excited about the results so far, and am looking forward to continuing to work with you on assessment.

 * My pleasure! I didn't know about ThermaHelm before. I hope it will help save many lives. Thank you for this innovative technology, and all the best for its future.

A couple of "annoying" things: The article needs more information and to be expanded, otherwise, I fear that it will be deleted. If I understood correctly, ThermaHelm is both the name of the helmet (hey, what about designing a lighter version for heavy-duty works [construction, mining, ...]?) and the name of the Ltd. company. I think that it needs a proper and good introduction (see: Lead section) to summarize its most important aspects, then a section about the company and the company history, and a section with possibly one or more 3rd level subsections (code: ) about the helmet(s) and how it works (see: Manual of Style (layout)). Lastly, I want to remind you, but I'm sure you already know that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for propaganda, advertising, and showcasing (see: Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion). So, we can only publish balanced third-party verifiable materials written in an objective and unbiased style, and with a neutral point of view, of course (see: Notability (organizations and companies) and Conflict of interest).

If you need help... just drop me a line, I'm here and ready to help (when it is possible). –p joe f (talk • contribs) 10:58, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

All good points. Do note that we are simply making the public aware of the technology and that we sell nothing through our website or anywhere else. Once we have the technology ready for consumer rider protection, we hope to. Would very much like for you to add to the article. Can email you more information...would that help?

ThermaHelm progress
Hi there Joe, is it?

Thank you for your kind comments.

I understand completely your points about commercial promotion and agree completely that such activity is Totally inappropriate, wrong and want no part of promoting same on this uber-cool altruistic site. As a matter of fact, the owner of identySOL added a link to his site without using a registered account and I instructed him to remove it and he has done so.

ThermaHelm is the name of the technology (think Intel Inside) and also the company. However, ThermaHelm as a company will soon cease and Cool Technologies Limited (established) will be the issuer of licences to use the brain cooling patent for individual application as shown here on the World Intellectual Property Organization http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?WO=2009095690. Perhaps this link or information should be added? Any help or guidance would be most greatfully appreciated. As we are deep into development and having a soft launch at the NEC International Motorcycle Show from November 27 - December 5th, I am unable to pay the correct attention to learn all about Wikipedia, however, am honoured that you have chosen to create the page for it. Indeed, lives will be saved - rest assured.

Perhaps I should send you our Executive Summary. We intend to change the status quo of head protection for children by con vesting kids to full face head protective head gear and the sales of the adult helmets will subsidise the child helmets which will be offered for 75% less than the adult's models.

Good idea about construction hats. We have also been approached by a firefighter (and motorcycle) helmet company in Germany called Schuberth. F1, equestrian, bicycle and many other applications are all possible. Very exciting for us all. Feel free to come down to the University for a chat. I have some friends to are in the music business from Norman Cook to those who actively write lyrics for common names in the industry and this may be of help to your research.

 * Those are great news! Children are our future!!! Very well done and thank you once again. I had the "enable email from other users" option disabled, but I've now activated it, so feel free to send me anything you think would be of interest for that page and Wikipedia. The "email from other users" option is available from the "Toolbox" on the left column, when a registered user is viewing any User page or User talk page (or "just click this link to send me an email" [max 4.5 MB per email]. If possible, send me the citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged. Books, academic and scientific journals and publications, newspapers, and magazines are the best sources, their web sites are good, while blogs and other web sites are unacceptable.

Next WP:USPP assessment
Hi ! Since Amy Roth's out on maternity leave, I'm pushing out the next round of assessments she needs. This time, we're comparing your assessment to readers' assessments. And instead of us assigning you articles, we're letting you pick! The full list of topics is on a subpage of the Assessment tab on our WikiProject. Please choose 10 of the articles to assess. Use the link in the section title to go to the appropriate version of the article.

Also, as a thank you for all your help, I'd like to send you a small package of Wikipedia swag. Please email me your address.

Please let me know if you have any questions! --Ldavis (Public Policy) (talk) 21:47, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

M. Makeba albums
Hello Pjoef, nice to meet you, just a quick note: i didn't fill in the previous/next albums in Makeba's entries because I am not that much sure we have a full discography. Back when I wrote Makeba's entry for it.wiki i mainly referred to this for discography, but every now and then I bumped into other albums that source didn't mention. There is also quite a mess about compilations, reprints with different titles, you name it. This is quite common for artists who were popular in the 1960s or earlier, and for African artists, and for artists who have relocated far and wide in their lives, and with Makeba you've got the full house. That said, I might be fine with the decision to fill in "previous/next" based on what we've got in the article, so, it was just for the sake of clarity. Thank you, see you! Moongateclimber (talk) 16:10, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, you are right, and I think the same of you. I started with the intention to expand the lead section of that article. So, I have started editing from the bottom... External links, References, See also, Discography ... with the intention to arrive to the lead section ~ hahaha. For her discography I'm using the following websites as sources: 1. allmusic MM discography; 2. discogs MM; 3. rateyourmusic MM (I find it more accurate than the previous two, especially for release dates and record labels); 4. akh's makeba (a great website about MM... I've to thank Spacini for it!) While the first two websites are considered reliable sources, but very often they have (as in the case of MM) incorrect data, the other two ~ hum ~ I'm not sure if they are considered "good sources". The "last/next" thingY in the chronology of the Infobox album templates now follows all her albums which are already on Wikipedia, and seems to be working fine. Thank you so much for your (much appreciated) message. All the best. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 17:23, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Third WP:USPP Assessment
Hi ! Thanks so much for your help on the Public Policy Initiative assessments. I really appreciate all your help -- we'll be in great shape when Amy gets back, thanks to all of your efforts! The next round of assessments is ready for you to review. Like the previous round, please pick 10 of the articles to review from the list, and it's especially critical that you use the version I've linked to for these.

This round measures the baseline quality of articles before our students started working on them. Many of these articles have undergone drastic revision already, so it may not be useful to leave comments about them on the talk pages. We'll be asking you to review the same set of articles once students have finished them too, so please be sure you're using the links provided so you're getting the versions immediately prior to when the students made their first edits. Ideally, these assessments should be completed by December 1.

I anticipate this taking a lot less time than previous rounds, as many of these articles are quite short. If you have extra time and want to help, please go back to round two and do a few more assessments -- especially on any articles that have only one or two assessments completed. I need a minimum of three assessments for each article, and some of the articles farther down the list still need attention.

Once again, thanks so much for your help and let me know if I can clarify anything at all! --Ldavis (Public Policy) (talk) 18:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Article Feedback Tool Help?
Hey Pjoef. I noticed you signed up for the Article Feedback Workgroup. I was wondering if you'd like to help us with Phase 2 of the feature. A goal for this phase is to better understand how these ratings reflect article quality. To do this, we're going to be applying the article feedback tool to page which we are fairly certain will undergo substantial revision in the near future (e.g., upcoming elections, movies, etc.). We can then evaluate the ratings before and after the substantial revisions and see if the revisions actually impact ratings.

Would you have time to help manage the articles that we're putting the feedback tool on? We're created a list of Additional Pages, but there are some other ideas that are floating around as well. It would be great if we could get some help coordinating these additional pages and then communicating with the English Wikipedia community. For more background, please check out this post and the Phase 2 design doc.

Let me know if you have time and we can chat more. Thanks! Howief (talk) 00:32, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Expand tag is redundant when the pages is a stub
Hi. I would like just to inform you that Expand is redundant when the page is a stub per instructions. Happy editing. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:31, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Very well!!! That's okay, because many people who read Wikipedia did not see the stub templates (they are too little and too small, and, you know, they are placed at the very bottom of a page.) So, I think that being "redundant" here is a very good thingY (especially because readers will notice the banner on top of a page, and, probably, will help by expanding it.) I do not like a lot of templates, but, IMHO, Expand and Expand section are the most useful of all templates. Anyway, thank you so very much for the advice, and happy editing! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 18:05, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

happy holidays from PPI
Thanks pjoef, for all your work assessing articles with WP:USPP over the past few months. I will have some results to report to the assessment team in January. The next semester should be pretty exciting there are over 25 university classes signed up with the project. Your input is helping to gauge how successful the project is, not just at improving the quality of public policy articles, but at incorporating Wikipedia as a teaching tool and recruiting and retaining college students as editors. we still need you in 2011, but it will mostly be assessments of student articles. Currently, there is another round of assessments to look at the improvements students made to their articles. If possible please assess by 5 January 2011; these results will be presented at an international conference later in January!

hi Pjoef, Thank you for all your work on assessment with WP:USPP. You assessed more articles than anyone else. I will write and report the results soon, but we have strong numbers that show that Wikipedians rate articles 4 points tougher on average than experts and Wikipedian scores are more consistent, these results are statistically significant. There will probably be mostly pre and post assessment of student work in the spring semester. You were on my mind because I entered your username so many times while working with the data.

 * I know that each article needs at least 3 assessments and that the deadline was on the 5th of January (2011), so I decided to do "overtime" (^___^) a day before the deadline to achieve the maximum possible number of reviews. I am very sorry if I have "bored" you, and squattered and illegally occupied your mind with my "username" (^___^).

PPI Research Update
First, thanks Pjoef, I am in awe of the work the assessment team did for this project. The results from the quantitative metric assessments were amazing, really. Check out what your work shows about Wikipedia article quality - I think it’s exciting, but you’ve probably figured out by now that I’m a bit of a nerd. A summary is posted on the Assessment page and a report will be on the Outreach wiki.

Second, I wanted to ask if you haven’t done many assessments on the Student post articles,I know you've probably done a bunch I really appreciate your work. So if you feel like it, articles toward the bottom have only 1 or none assessments. I know some of the material is pretty dry, but this assessment is the most important one for the fall semester and this assessment will be the primary method of showing article quality to the project grant funder. I am going to try to recruit a couple more assessors for the spring so you don't have to do everything ;) HUGE Thanks - ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 07:58, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Slits, Innocents, all girl bands or not?
Hello, I added The Innocents as all girl band because, like the Slits they were seen as allgirl band, but both bands had a male at times. Should I undo this? Should the Slits be there? Am I answering my own question? Is there a category that they could be in that represents predominantly female-centric bands. Thanks again for all, EstherLaver (talk) 20:54, 2 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I don't know. When I think of all-female bands the first bands/groups that come to mind are The Shirelles, The Ronettes, The Shangri-Las, Martha and the Vandellas, and The Supremes. But, they all were all-female singing group from the 1960s. In the 1970s there were The Shaggs, Sister Sledge, Heart, The Runaways, The Go-Go's, and The Slits. I think that if The Slits are listed (and categorized) as an all-female band, then The Innocents should be listed there too. The only difference between The Slits and The Innocents is that The Slits started (in 1976–1977) as an all-female band and then Budgie replaced Palmolive in 1979, while The Innocents had Greg van Cook within their ranks since the beginning. And, what about Delta 5? They started as an all-female trio, but are not listed nor categorized as an all-female band. My opinion is leave them where they are and then see what happens. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 10:16, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Mathematics in medieval Islam
Don't ever move books from a carefully selected Further reading section into the References section. I'd prefer it if you just stop editing that article altogether. This article has some serious content issues and your trivial cosmetic changes are only making matters worse than better. —Ruud 14:03, 15 February 2011 (UTC)


 * What? You are totally wrong!!! Next time, check it out better!!! I'm trying to clean up that article. Yes, I moved two references/books from the Further reading section to the References section, but they BOTH are used as online citations. So, it is more than RIGHT! Please, revert only when necessary. In any case, it is my intention to group all the notes, quotes, and citations. So, it would be easier to see if there are any incorrect information and sources. By the way, I have not found incorrect info, excluding the Fibonacci thing about the fractional notation. But, this is exactly what I'm doing there. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 14:38, 15 February 2011 (UTC)


 * The article is full of factual inaccuracies. If you didn't spot any, you should really ask yourself if you're the right person to clean the mess. —Ruud 14:55, 15 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I read that article line by line, word by word. In my latest edits I was trying to consolidate and group all the references, and to move quotes into Footnotes, sources (in a simple notation style: Author(s) last name, year) into Notes, and cited books and journals into Sources, and they all were linked together. Most of those sources are available online (for example on "gigol" book), and by using this method, it was very simple to verify all the sources. It was a really hard job, I spent about 12 hours of my time on it, and I WAS STILL WORKING on that fucking article. Who the fuck are you to say to me: "your trivial cosmetic changes" or "you should really ask yourself if you're the right person to clean the mess" if you are not able to see and understand what I was doing on that article? Well, to respond to your second question, I'm an intermediate mathematician and an Atheist, so I do not think there are many people who are better than me at that. Anyway, I've reported you for vandalism. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 16:06, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry for having reported you, but I was really upset and this was the first time that something like an edit conflict happens to me. Do you think I am "eligible" to apply for trying to cleanup that page at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Jagged 85/Cleanup1a? I've checked out the first 27 edits (from 2006-02-23 13:17 to 2006-04-10 04:06) and I found that they all are good (or bonafide) edits. Sorry once again, if I could help I would. P.S.: I came across that article because I'm participating to the February 2011 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive and for no other reasons. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 17:43, 15 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Honestly, the fact that you have to ask doesn't give me much confidence. The main problem with these articles is that the editor who wrote them was rather terrible at "summarizing" the sources he found into something that still accurately reflected what they said. For example, could you point out what would be wrong with the statement "The first known proof by mathematical induction was introduced in the al-Fakhri written by Al-Karaji around 1000 AD, who used it to prove arithmetic sequences such as the binomial theorem, Pascal's triangle, and the sum formula for integral cubes."?
 * Verifying the statements against the sources also requires you have access to them via JSTOR and a (university) library. The original editor based many of his claims on books fragments from Google Books, but that's not good enough you need to have the whole book to be sure you don't miss the context. Cleaning this up properly is much more important than cleaning this up fast. —Ruud 18:02, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, your point of view is right, but it is also my point of view. Well, I would like to explain what was my intention with that article. I was trying to group references starting from the top of the article and I did about 4-5% of the whole thing. For example, you wrote that I moved books from Further reading section into the References section, but those books are cited inline so there is no need nor reason to include them into a (NOT so carefully selected) Further reading section (it is also too big and with too many redlinks), while, on the contrary, it is NECESSARY to include them into the References section. In the 4-5% I did (and I'm not talking about the wikification drive because I "wikified" the article before the "cleanup-1a" template was placed and appeared on top of it) I found out a lot of inline REF TAGS or citation templates with the same name or with different names but exactly the same content (including the page number(s), volume, edition and etcetera). This was what I was trying to do. When this kind of work would be finished, then I would liked to start a much harder and longer process of verifying all sources (including the "/" sign-Fibonacci assertion, but if you or other editors delete it while I'm working on it, all become very-very difficult), which should certainly be better than some of the edits I've seen there (see ); edits that deleted references, threw away some portions of the article based on POV of editors who are not mathematicians, and involved a couple of bots to correct part of those edits. Who was that talked about a "fast cleanup"? I repeatedly placed under construction and In use on top of the page and I stopped editing the page when you "stubbed" it. Anyway, there is no problem. If I can help, then you are welcome to PM me, otherwise I will save my energy for something else. Cheers, and sorry once again. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 19:24, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I had a quick look at the article (I have been watching Jagged related articles for some time) and while I did not take the time to work out exactly what was going on it did appear that there was a lot of moving text around which can be very confusing to anyone trying to properly clean it up. If some editor performs significant changes to the article, the implication (when they are finished) is that they are happy with the sections edited, including the most fundamental point, namely that material is properly sourced (WP:V, WP:NPOV). That does not help clean Jagged's POV from the article. I prefer any reply to be here, with no talkback thanks. Johnuniq (talk) 23:46, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The Jagged 85 cleanup is based on the difference between the edits made by Jagged 85 and the previous versions, so it has little importance to know how is the current state of the article. If we will find a problem, it would be easy to find it out on the latest version of the article, and, as you know, the article was edited thousands of times and was reviewed and assessed as B-class, and I read it line by line, and word by word. As I wrote before, my current work on that article was referred only to the References sections (grouping and consolidating), so it was not moved any text visible and readable from the front-end, in other words by readers, anywhere. Before the article was tagged for cleanup, I moved the Biography section at the bottom of the article (above the See also section), but its contents remained the same. However, I said that I can manage and take care of the whole process related to that article. What is the importance of the method I use? I know what I did, and the important thing is the end result rather than the process used to achieve the goal, so I think I can help. Cheers. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 08:30, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * In some articles, like Mathematics in medieval Islam Jagged has written 80% of the article. —Ruud 14:20, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know. I checked out his first 27 (out of 338) edits on that article (all dated back in 2006) and they all seem to be good edits. If you want, I can check the remaining 301 edits later this week. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:49, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I can point out several factual inaccuracies in the article. I don't know in which edit they where introduced, so they might well be in one of the 300 or so remain diffs you have not yet looked at. The diffs, however are most useful for the many articles where Jagged made only a small number of edits. For the articles where he is the main contributor is going to be easier to just verify each and every sentence in the latest version. —Ruud 17:59, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I read it all and many times. I think that the several factual inaccuracies are problems related to the subject than to the revisions of a single editor. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 19:37, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * What? Are you disputing the statement at WP:Jagged 85 cleanup where it says many edits involve the undue promotion of Islamic and other non-European scholarship and achievements ... severe misuse of sources: misrepresenting what a source has asserted; reporting only one side from a source; quoting out of context; inventing claims using a source related to the topic but which does not verify the claim.? Or are you suggesting that this article is an exception where these problems did not occur (highly unlikely)? Johnuniq (talk) 02:22, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I said and I repeat that:

Mathematics in medieval Islam is mostly well-sourced, comprehensible and reasonably clear, and follows the NPOV policy, with only minor exceptions. It's the subject (History of mathematics) that is controversial. About the Jagged85 "cleanup", I don't know and and I'm not interested at all. What I know is that a good article has been stubbed and now readers can not enjoy, usufruct and make use of the content of the page, and you know this is not good! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 08:11, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Many editors would be horrified if told that a user had systematically added "facts" to articles with sources, but it turned out that many of the facts were made up POV nonsense, and that the sources plainly did not support the claims. This issue is not one of a "controversial topic": it is one of deliberate fabrication. That is much more damaging to the encyclopedia than a bunch of vandals going around and inserting nonsense. Your equanimity under the circumstances is puzzling, or are you saying that you are sufficiently expert in the topic that you can assess that all the claims made in the article are accurate? I do not want talkback. Johnuniq (talk) 09:49, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am more than sufficiently expert in mathematics and a bit less in history of mathematics. Furthermore, the period taken into account in that article is one of the most obscure in human history, the Middle Ages, which saw so many books to be burnt to ashes. And yet, mathematics in medieval Islam is not "fully" part of the so-called "Western philosophies of mathematics", and it has been greatly influence by Indian and Chinese mathematicians and philosophers. About the references used in that article, it was exactly the work I was doing on it, when I was trying to tidy up all the quotes and group all of them into a proper Notes section, and to eliminate double citations (I'm talking about templates that had the same values and the same page(s) but different name identifiers) when I was stopped from working by Ruud. In fact, I was accused by Ruud of moving two books from the Further reading section to References, when they both were used as sources in that article, and of messing it up, when I was working on it. At the end of the work that I could not complete due to Ruud intervention, it was my intention, as far as possible, to check all the sources one by one, line by line, word by word. As I said before about the Jagged85's thingY, I'm not interested at all. I think that an article on Wikipedia has its own life.

Charles S. Herrman and stewardship
Mr man1951 (let's chat) 17:33, 24 February 2011 (CST)

Wikipedia:Talk:Charles_S._Herrman Wiktionary:Talk:Stewardship

First, I hope I haven't messed up terribly on the above links. Am totally new at attempting to contact Wikipedians such as yourself. Please forgive my ineptness!!

Dear Sir, You are one of many who have done yeoman's service for Mr. Herrman's Wikipedia page. I have taken a lead in trying to deal with coding that others cannot or will not do (pics, references/citations, minor corrections, occasional inserts), yet I am hardly an expert, as the numerous corrections by you and yours attest! The point, however, is that Mr. Herrman is a remarkable philosopher and the traffic to the page is wonderful given its recent origin. He is coming to be a renown authority in several areas. In this case I put up a page on Wiktionary based on his extraordinary theoretical work in the concepts of office and stewardship. Of course, I may have made mistakes or unwittingly committed violations of Wiki policy. At any rate this page, which everyone who I showed it to thought was fantastic, was summarily taken down, why I simply have no idea. Mr. Herrman lauded the effort and in fact asked me to undertake it because he has observed questionable press on the Wiktionary project and he desires that it gain greater credit, and his way of helping out is to demand of me, for example, to create the very highest quality pages that really highlight the potential for this project. Because you are one who has done so much for the quality of the Charles_S._Herrman site, I wondered if you could offer advice to me for what I may have done wrong on the Wiktionary "Stewardship" page, or perhaps intervene on our behalf with the person(s) who erased the page. And please let me thank you in advance. Mr man1951 (talk) 23:48, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay, some of my questions are no longer valid, so do not pay any attention to them. I saw the revision history of "stewardship" entry on Wiktionary. I do not think the dictionary/wiktionary is a good place to put all that information, but I am not an expert at it, and did just few edits/contributions there. Also, the dictionary uses its own syntax, style, forms and format, and they differ from those used here on Wikipedia. I think it is possible to add there a link to the Stewardship article here on Wikipedia and "move" all the great work you did on that article on Wiktionary to the Stewardship article here on Wikipedia. About the Wiktionary entry, first of all try to contact Msh210 on his/her talk page and ask him/her why he/she reverted your edits on that page. I hope it will be possible to bring back some of the good parts of the content that you had put in there. My advice/suggestion is to work on the Stewardship article here on Wikipedia, which is certainly more suitable for "storing" all that information. In any case, I am at your disposal, and please keep me informed about that. Cheers. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 09:00, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, I am a bit confused. Do you really mean Wiktionary (the English version of our multi-language dictionary), or are you referring to Wikipedia (our multi-lang encyclopedia)? What is the URL (full URL: http://www.somedomain.ext/pathto/pagename.ext ; please, copy and paste from the address bar in your browser) to the page that has been taken down? I found a page on Wikipedia named Stewardship (theology), but I do not think it is the page you are referring to. And, when you say that I am "one who has done so much for the quality of the Charles S. Herrman site", are you referring to the Wikipedia page? Do you know that Wikipedia or, more correctly, the Wikimedia Foundation has other projects such as Wikibooks, which is an open-content textbooks collection, Wikisource, our online library of free content publications, and Wikiversity for learning resources, learning projects, and research?

Well, it's been a while, but the Wikipedia piece at entry Stewardship took some real old fashioned effort. I believe you will approve the changes. Also, I have recently heard from an acquaintance who said that the article on Charles S. Herrman (that I mainly manage) is the "best Wikipedia article" he has ever seen!! Wow, what a great feeling to get responses like that! Also, I find that some editors turned that site into a book, which I hope will be a feather in someone's cap.

Thank you for your assistance, and again I apologise for ignorance in handling these talk pages. Mr man1951 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:04, 8 April 2011 (UTC).

Oh dear me. Wonder if somebody is taking out a vendetta on Mr. Herrman. I know it is not my place to ask for intervention, but the recent events are so utterly alarming I at least wanted to keep you abreast. Within two days (and less than a week since Mr. Herrman had a serious falling out with someone who tried to displace his lead position in proposing a legal remedy for abuse of office) two of the Wikipedians erected five flags. One of the two suggested that the content wasn't even about Mr. Herrman - well, actually, every stitch is about him and true. Of course we do not know of any animosity for a fact, but do wonder at the timing. Anyway, one of Mr. Herrman's strongest advocates and myself will be sending very polite questions to those two, requesting whatever information will be of help. We will keep you abreast. Thanks as always for your attention. Mr man1951 (talk) 18:08, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

It appears, in the breakneck pace of recent events, that a civil approach with simple questions asking for the rationale behind several sloppily defended complaints was not in the cards. That is unfortunate. If I understand their comments on the talk page/removal page they will be examining all Wiki pages for evidence of my hand, and they will find several, one of which will be of interest to yourself as you were involved in it. While you may feel yourself abused by my duplicity - fully acknowledged now that the page and recent events permit the rationale to be persuasively presented, and which they simply could not have been were I to have stupidly followed an outdated piece of discriminatory nonsense, I can, while feeling for your position, not only not apologize, but remind you of your office. Please attend to these matters by doing the right thing. You are a reasonable interlocutor and honest voice it seems to me. Let's see if we cannot all achieve an acceptable outcome.Mr man1951 (talk) 12:08, 14 April 2011 (UTC) If I can give you some free advice, talk with and try to solve the problem, and eventually ask for the intervention and reviews by participants to WikiProject Philosophy (talk) and WikiProject Biography (talk). Regarding the sockpuppet investigation, I'm not an expert on the subject, and I do not know if you have more than an account or if it is forbidden to have multiple accounts on Wikipedia. I do not think so, I think it is more important what you do on Wikipedia, your contributions to Wikipedia, and not the number of accounts. If you haven’t yet, please read Sock puppetry and all related links. Sorry for not answering sooner. Cheers. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 16:57, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I hope my two cents on the discussion will help.

I thank you, Pjoef. My expectation is that those (including me!) who have little knowledge of the inner sanctum works are going to direct themselves to what logic and common sense direct, namely, to place remarks/comments on the 'remove' page. After all, the link is given in the remove tag on the Charles S. Herrman site. Folks understandably prefer simple logic to refined complexity, metaphysicians not excepted. Your higher brass might need to know, for example, that though I am far from being the dullest blade in the drawer, the process of learning page creation and editing was nothing less than a nightmare and that was, quite frankly, not appreciated. I would be happy to assist in correcting all such nonsense (for frankly that's what it amounts to. There is NO REASON to have to read a book or two in order to accomplish what is in point of ultimate fact brutally simple). After the period of comments we will proceed based on the behavior and suggestion of the editors immediately concerned.

Again, many thanks for past and present services.Mr man1951 (talk) 18:38, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry to see the tenor of exchange reduced to caviling but it is all too human, isn't it? Having researched the guidelines governing notability I now believe you and I are fully vindicated. I suspect you took a portion of what you sourced from the 'notable people' and the rest from 'notable academics'. I, too, observed the distinction and made something of it, with justification I believe. Tomorrow an advocate is apparently set to give a full analysis fully crediting your observations. I am not slightly chagrined that your colleagues went after your first statement, or so it seemed to me. I note also the glib, I might have said arrogantly snide, comments as to the process itself. My goodness gracious but this is disturbing. I feel sorry for you, Pjoef, I have done what places you in the middle and I regret any negativity caste your direction by your peers here at Wikipedia. I also recently read that a certain sort of deletion request, 'proposed' presupposes no disagreement from editorial staff. But now I am uncertain just what sort of 'deletion' we are dealing with. I wonder if you can set me straight. Always my thanks for your impartial objectivity and willingness to keep your offices open, certain and unsullied. I respect you, and for the moment that says rather a lot.Mr man1951 (talk) 04:36, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions on my talk page (I nearly never learned of it because I so rarely go there!). And then I saw that G.M. entered directly under yours. Nice. But hey, he at least seemed willing to listen to what third party evidence I could muster. Point is, except for the Hartshorne recommendation there was never any reason to insert them in the Charles S. Herrman page. They simply aren't relevant, though they do speak to notability. And after G.M.'s recent remark instructing me to stop offering logical explanations, I decided I should just give him what I have right to his talk page. That was an extensive missive that I hope got where it was supposed to go. It detailed OKC Daily Oklahoman report on my moderating a small event, listing me as 'Philosopher and Behavioral Theorist'. Also mentioned Joe Ransdell's backing of an NEH project of mine (he is the late Peirce scholar who ran a major Peirce listserve and a site devoted to Perice's work and secondary work on him. Stuff like that. I hope it helps. As ever... Mr man1951 (talk) 02:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

–p joe f (talk • contribs) 14:20, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Hope all is well. Am awaiting only a comment from overseas folks and even with email it has been bothersome and time-consuming. As I mentioned, I wrote a long list of things to G.M. as I can't find any trace of it or evidence. And, frankly, I really don't even know if he is the right destination. At length I created a file with all the information save one that eluded my best efforts. But because it is a file with everything from images to links and text, I have no earthly idea how to make it available, let alone to whom. I can email it but I doubt that is considered kosher in these quarters. Have you any ideas here? Thanks so much in advance, and As ever... Mr man1951 (talk) 23:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

A note to express my deep appreciation to you, Pjoef. I apologized for the mix-up trying to get information to G.M. I got your message re trying to list the notability material on the removal talk page, and I am unsatisfied that of course it remains hearsay without the actual evidence. I hope it can be presented without undo difficulty given my comparative lack of technical expertise in computer management, etc. Not exactly a Luddite, but none too swift, either. I hope I didn't berate anyone terribly but I must say all of this does pain me, frustrates me and occasionally infuriates me. I just can't get these folks to realize that I value Wikipedia and strongly believe that my work (and others, to be sure) can add to its status in no violation whatsoever, given a moderate interpretation and clarification of the already existing guidelines. I notice a consistent presumption of bad motives, and an almost reckless refusal to give reasonable counters to reasonable facts and arguments. But I will try to persevere and your integrity will have been as or more important than all of my efforts when the day is done. For that I am flabbergasted, for no one else was prepared to come forth. Again, my deepest appreciation. Mr man1951 (talk) 22:06, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Public Policy Initiative Recruiting Assessors for Spring
Hi Pjoef, I hope you are up for spring semester. I really appreciate your input. Your work assessing article quality is really valuable and generated some excellent results from fall semester. The assessment process has been streamlined and dates are clearly posted for the upcoming assessment rounds. The Initiative has a lot more classes signed up for spring, so I would like to recruit some more Wikipedian assessors, and I was hoping you could help with that. I think community members would be more likely to participate if they are recruited by Wikipedians like yourself who have a good reputation. The strategy that worked last semester was to leave an individual message on the talk pages of non-adversarial Wikipedians. I looked for people by contributions to public policy related articles and those active on the 1.0 Editorial Team. I usually mentioned in the message what specifically about their work history made me think they would be a good assessment team participant. This is super time consuming to contact like 50 people, but only doing a few is not so bad. Also, I am looking for feedback about assessing with PPI, so please check out the discussion on the assessment tab, and let me know there if you have a chance to recruit some other assessors. I hope you are looking forward to another great semester working on this project. Drop me a line - ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 06:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

PPI invite
Thanks for the PPI invite, it sounds interesting, but I don't think I'd be a good fit. I hail from Canada, disagree with a lot of American policies both foreign and domestic and probably would be too opinionated/angry in assessments (not that I wouldn't have a point, I just don't know if I'm up for feeling angry about American policies during my Wikipedia time, since I spend lots of other time doing that) But thanks again for letting me know about it. Nihola (talk) 05:11, 4 March 2011 (UTC) I understand what you mean but maybe (certainly) I expressed myself badly. WP:USPP serves as a pilot project for assessing Wikipedia articles with a system's rubric and quantitative metric based on multiple fields (comprehensiveness, sourcing, neutrality, readability, formatting and illustrations) throughout the WPs banner within their talk pages, and "currently" at the bottom of their "front" pages (eg. see Fair Sentencing Act) by using the Article Feedback Tool (home page for the Article Feedback Tool at MediaWiki). It does not necessarily require a specific knowledge of USPPs, but knowledge about wiki syntax, pages layout, sourcing, comprehensibility-neutrality-readability, images and graphics, and etc.. The "required" work is slightly easier: to review c.a. 5 articles in a month / 4 times a semester. Also, professors at USPP programs in universities in the US are now participating in this initiative by asking their students to improve English Wikipedia articles about USPP. This will serve for both tracking changes to the article quality based on the "massive" and hopefully good quality edits made by these students, and testing out the assessment metrics for both the WP:USPP assessing banner and the Article Feedback Tool. If the experimental phase of the project will be successful, this new metric and tool will then be extended to and used by all other articles on the English Wikipedia. In other words, this pilot experiments with a new mechanism of quality assessment and it's more about statistics and mathematics. In any case, thank you for your prompt reply. Cheers. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 09:58, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Requesting assistance on a new RFC/U for Mathematics in medieval Islam
Hi Pjoef,

Thank you for your participation in the RFC regarding the stubbing of the Mathematics in medieval Islam article, and speaking out against this outrageous behavior. The issues surrounding this RFC are complex. I believe it is important they be dealt with in a way that provides support for further actions in the near future. This problem goes beyond the Mathematics in medieval Islam article, but it needs to be dealt with one step at a time in order to avoid confusion and build a comprehensive foundation for further action.

I need your help in order to move forward. The next step I hope hope to take is opening a separate RFC/U (user) to deal with inappropriate behavior in the original incident involving Pjoef, Ruud Koot and WMC (William M Connelley). The proposed RFC would deal with the sequence of events that led up to the intial stubbing, as well as the repeated re-stubbing of the article when I have attempted to revert it.

The subject matter must be narrowly limited to that appropriate for an RFC/U (user behavior) action. It covers the provocation of Pjoef by RK, the insults and attempted intimidation of Pjoef by RK and others, the lack of discussion on the talk page before the stubbing occurred, the lack of proof of problems with the article, the agreement of RK and WMC between themselves to stub the article, the way the article was initially moved rather than being stubbed (causing the temporary loss of article history), and their refusal to subsequently revert the article.


 * Remedies should include reverting the article to its pre-stubbed state, and I also firmly believe Pjoef deserves an apology.


 * In addition, I also suggest these two users should withdraw from the editing of Islamic articles and JAG-related issues.

In order to proceed, I need at least one other user to agree to certify the RFC/U (the more the better). This is done by placing specific language on talk pages at the right time, after the RFC/U has been prepared and we agree on its contents. I cannot proceed to RFC/U by myself. I also need suggestions on how the RFC/U should be worded and what should be included. I can write the RFC/U and drive the process, but I need you support.

Please reply on my talk page to let me know if you are interested in helping me recover this article and correct this injustice. If you know anyone else who would like to participate, please invite them to reply to my talk page as well.

Thank you very much,

Aquib (talk) 04:13, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Reply From Berr (also cc'd to Pjoef): I am an infrequent editor and so, I've never participated in an RFC. An RFC/U might be needed if Pjoef thinks it would help to start one; My inclination would be to deal with all the pages involved and addresses the overzealous editing without respect to individuals (as was the case with the apparently flawed Jagged process). That doesn't mean these individuals aren't abusing a blind spot in the system though. I am simply too new to the discussion and too unfamiliar with the "cleanup" crew's edits to make claims against them personally. However I will happily participate in an RFC/U as an unbiased observer of the recent discussion.
 * I would more happily participate in a process that allows us to suggest remedies to all pages in question, since at the very least folks cannot accuse me of having an "axe to grind". An AfC listing the pages that were deleted or stubbed in response to the Jag cleanup would be a great place to start. On the two talk pages for math and science, I listed the ones mentioned upthread on the talk page for Talk:Science in medieval Islam.
 * Regarding the RFC/U, I suggest that [Aquib] confer with Pjoef on how best to proceed, since he seems to be the editor whose work was most affected, being the person who took it on to review and clean up the article (which I don't have the expertise for) and the persons who deleted it wouldn't let him. I only know enough about the subject to criticize the process, and the persons involved seem to be using that loophole (what I like to call WP:BLINDSPOT) where there is a lack of expertise (compare WP:BATHWATER) by placing the burden of proof on anyone attempting to add anything even when citations are properly sourced.
 * Also note that the existence of a /  template,  used to tag individual claims in an article, makes the entire Jagged 85 verdict unnecessary (to completely stub all pages on the subject, and revert pjoef's good-faith efforts).
 * Like I said, I'll happily participate, but I can only speak to what I've seen and read in the recent discussion on the Islamic science and math talk pages, not to past shenanigans. And I'll actively second any request for a new AfC (??) addressing all the "Jagged" pages. Part of the problem is that the guy who actually went deleted some of the pages as part of the "cleanup" was a hit-and-run.
 * I wished to cc' this to Pjoef's talk page to request input, feel free to respond on my talk page. Yclept:Berr (talk) 05:18, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

I would just like to add that my jaw dropped when I saw that the following had been added to the official verdict underpinning the Jagged85 cleanup: many edits involve the undue promotion of Islamic and other non-European scholarship and achievements...
 * I would encourage Pjoef not to abandon your good faith attempts to wikify the article, because I think the math article could use your expertise. I do not have similar expertise (as I used to have -- I did great in Calculus II but hit a brick wall shortly thereafter) but I am deeply concerned about the process that would result in such a statement as above. Sadly, my level of non-expertise is all that it takes to guard a stub like an attack dog and place the burden on others to add anything.
 * I also find it quite telling that all of the persons involved in the "cleanup" are limited to a small group of editors guarding the "cleanup" process for over a year now while simultaneously saying they know more about the inaccuracy of the material and simultaneously saying that none of them know enough to clean up the article themselves. something is amiss there. Yclept:Berr (talk) 05:46, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Pjoef, If you don'thave time, but support the idea of an RFC/U or more neutral process affecting all the Jagged pages, I'd be happy to participate in that process, since my concern is not the people, but the process which led to the "Islamic world scholarship" pages' wholesale deletion, and treating similar pages similarly across-wiki. Yclept:Berr (talk) 06:14, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you both for taking the time to write to me. Unfortunately, I am not an expert on RFU and AFC processes, and I don't think I've ever participated in similar discussions and processes, and my free time is very limited. I read something about Jagged85 "cleanup" process (but without taking a deeper look into) and I think that he has provided and is providing its full cooperation. I also think that an editor who made more than 60,000 edits on Wikipedia is to praise, thank and reward, rather than "investigate". But, as I said before, I have not read everything very carefully. In any case, we all know that many (or most) of the articles, featured here on the English Wikipedia, get a large number of edits and revisions during their history. My opinion is that the inaccuracies, if any, are "cleaned up" with the passage of time and edits. Consequently, a work of "cleaning", if needed, should be done in daylight and with the greatest transparency and without ever losing sight of our most important task, which is to provide readers with the best and most valuable tools (the articles) possible. I think that as a first step, we should ask for the participation and involvement of all Wikipedia Projects concerned with all of those articles. Once again, thank you, Aquib and Yclept Berr. Cheers and happy editing. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 10:04, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * (butting in. If you'd rather I didn't join this conversation please remove this) Jagged85 "cleanup" process ... he has provided and is providing its full cooperation. This is wrong. Jagged agreed to That the editor will agree to undertake a systematic programme of correcting the errors that they have inserted into Wikipedia articles Requests for comment/Jagged 85 but (as far as I'm aware) that didn't actually happen. Re 60k edits: valuing editors by edit count is discouraged. But if you believe Jagged deserves "praise, thank and reward" for his 50k, I hope you will extend the same to me for my 50k. Re having another RFC, or an RFC/U, along the lines of Aam's deal with inappropriate behavior in the original incident involving Pjoef, Ruud Koot and WMC (William M Connelley [sic]) - as far as I can see, the inappropriate behaviour has all been on Aam's side William M.

 * All: Thanks! Aquib, not to say an RFC/U isn't needed, but if we bring in the various WikiProjects associated with the pages then the best way to do that is to try a depersonalized approach first, to deal with the issue. Revisit the Jagged 85 issue through an article-centric RfC (is that called an AfC? see, I know little about the admin rulebook) addressing all the issues that have come up post-"Jagged 85 cleanup", and invite the various WikiProjects to participate. This would especially help dig up persons with additional subject matter expertise to comment on the underlying issue. If that fails to get off the ground or persons insist that the old Jagged 85 thread is the only proper forum for the issue, then you can still pursue further action. Not to say I wouldn't support an RFC/U if Pjoef does, simply to clear the air. But, pjoef and I are unfamiliar with the ins and outs of an RfC, which makes one about an article instead of a person easier to start. Also, no one has actually started a (depersonalized) RfC about the issue as a whole:
 * Is this a dispute about verifiability, or is it a disputed topic, i.e. a debate about historical revisionism and undue weight inherent in the subject matter?
 * If the former, the template /   obviates (renders unnecessary) the need to stub the entire series of articles, which also makes it difficult for editors to figure out what material was at the source of the dispute.
 * If the latter, one possible solution would be to put all disputed claims (if the dispute is essentially an academic dispute over revisionism and presentism and sources can be found for both sides) in a separate section in each page labeled "Claims for additional discoveries by Islamic scholars" wherein a caveat can be clearly stated with the opposing sources.

 * Thanks, Aquib... but that "heroes" thingY reminds me of The Stranglers' song "No More Heroes"... great band and song!!!

I agree with Yclept Berr 110% and I am unfamiliar with RFC either. As I wrote on my reply to William M. Connolley, I feel responsible in the incident and I'm so sorry for all the readers who were deprived of that article. In my humble opinion, a depersonalized approach, which will involve some WPs, should be the best solution to fix all problems. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 13:25, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

A Copy of My RFC Request
Pjoef, thanks. Aquib has requested an ArbCom hearing appealing the old Jagged RfC and concerning the users involved in the edit disputes. As for finding a way forward, to follow up on my proposal, I formally requested a new RfC on the page for Wikipedia_talk:RFC/Jagged_85 to deal with the Islamic scholarship articles specifically, including the math article. (with "Islamic X" as a redirect with a hatnote for people seeking contemporary Islamic scholarship, which is usu. not differentiated from the larger, non-religious field of study)
 * Here are my (expanded) bullet points for the new RfC: (note that unlike ArbCom and RfC/User, this is not a request for action "against" something, so it should be easy to get others to help since I've never started one before)
 * Is this a dispute about verifiability, or is it a disputed topic, i.e. a debate about historical revisionism and undue weight inherent in the subject matter? For instance, the official verdict underpinning the Jagged85 cleanup begins: many edits involve the undue promotion of Islamic and other non-European scholarship and achievements...
 * [I noted] that an RfC devoted to cleanup of all edits by a specific user is not the proper forum for fixing the overall issues surrounding the Islamic scholarship articles specifically, as a topical matter; because i. Jagged edits aren't necessarily restricted to those articles that have been stubbed; ii. the accuracy of specific "Jagged edits" is contested by various editors -- Jagged doesn't own those diffs, and neither do the people contesting them, it only matters if useful and factual info can be restored; and iii. to deal with overzealous edits in the wake of the Jagged cleanup (e.g. the user who deleted Islamic metaphysics outright ["per" the Jagged RfC; also, Ruud contesting your good-faith article cleanup]) so a new RfC is needed to deal with those articles specifically.
 * Similarly, user User:Pjoef who tried to clean up one of the articles writes, "[the article which was deleted] is mostly well-sourced, comprehensible and reasonably clear, and follows the NPOV policy, with only minor exceptions. It's the subject (History of mathematics) that is controversial. About the Jagged85 "cleanup", I don't know... What I know is that a good article has been stubbed and now readers can not enjoy, usufruct and make use of the content of the page" (User:Pjoef)
 * If the former, the template /   obviates (renders unnecessary) the need to stub the entire series of articles, which also makes it difficult for editors to figure out what material was at the source of the dispute.
 * The cleanup in [the old RfC devoted to Jagged 85 edits] can continue using those tags, or we can retire [that] RfC since it is based on a user dispute. (Depending on how the new RfC is resolved -- this RfC could still be needed to deal with tagging and verifying the Jagged edits, whereas the new RfC is about restoring deleted content and making sure a whole section of Wikipedia isn't stubbed because of it.) Another reason a new successor RfC dealing specifically with the Islamic scholarship pages and canvassing the affected WikiProjects (Middle Ages, Islam, History of Science, etc.) would move things along.
 * If the latter, one possible solution would be to put all disputed claims (if the dispute is essentially an academic dispute over revisionism and presentism and sources can be found for both sides) in a separate section in each page labeled "Claims for additional discoveries by Islamic scholars" wherein a caveat can be clearly stated with the opposing sources.
 * Additionally, the new RfC would have the scope to consider page action to standardize the naming of all these pages so they can actually be found. On either the Science or Math in medieval Islam talk pages, I made a proposal which I would wish to incorporate into the new RfC (severally from the rest), namely to rename the key pages at issue, most or all of which are affected by the Jagged RfC, Medieval Islamic X:
 * Medieval Islamic mathematics
 * Medieval Islamic science
 * Medieval Islamic metaphysics (deleted and replaced with a redirect, needs to be restored)
 * ... etc.
 * This has the added benefit of being one of the few naming conventions which all sides could agree on (Ruud, one of the "curators" of the Jag-affected pages, suggested it, the person who came in opposed the page on general principle because they thought it was a "religious science" page liked it, and the persons concerned about the recent stubbing) could tentatively support when the issue was repeatedly brought up on one of the talk pages. It also meets WP:MOS for conciseness and clarity. Only reason it hasn't been tried was because the old, old discussion drifted off into the "Arab vs. Islamic as an adjective" issue, which since got resolved in favor of "Islamic".
 * Oh Yeah... and I asked them, "How do I start one?" Yclept:Berr (talk) 14:11, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Music venue page
Pjoef, it's funny you should mention punk / alt rock, which I see you are a fan -- I happen to be involved in setting up a community center in my home town (DC area) which is (or used to be) a notable center of the American punk scene. So a lot of punk bands play there at the venue. In fact, I've been working on a wiki page for the venue which is a nonprofit, but I have to be careful to check my sources, since wikipedia has rules about starting a page on a subject you're involved in, and one of the local editors probably will pick up on the fact, so I'll have to sun it by him, which I'm dreading.

Sorry for spamming you with replies, on the Islamic Math article. :-) No need to ping me back Yclept:Berr (talk) 14:48, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

In your account ...After other twelve edits, Ruud stubbed the article and... you appear to have neglected to mention that you removed the cleanup template, declaring IT HAS BEEN CLEANED UP!. Do you believe this to be a matter of no great importance, not worth troubling arbcomm with? William M. Connolley (talk) 20:07, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No, no. You know, I wrote about this to you, on your talk page. I removed the banner and declared it clean for the Wikify drive of February 2011 (this edit/version.) Then, I read the "Jagged 85 cleanup" and I decided to try to solve that problem. After some other edits and only 1 post by Ruud (14:03, 15 February 2011 (UTC)), and while I was consolidating and grouping sources... Ruud stubbed the article at 14:31 ("radical approach") (my first reply to Ruud was at 14:38). I edited Mathematics in medieval Islam at 14:02 just one minute before Ruud's post on my talk page. I got his message when I saved Mathematics... at 14:23 (and this was my last edit of that article; check out my list of edits 14-15 February 2011) It's all in the revision history of Mathematics in medieval Islam and related talk pages. I have not been "so very accurate" on that part because I think there is no point in putting salt in the wounds. In other words, I'd rather solve the Jagged 85's "problem" (if there is one), rather than "impeach" or "accuse" a Wikipedia administrator for his conduct. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 10:42, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You declared the article clean, in all caps. Yet you fail to mention this provocative act in your evidence to arbcomm. That looks to me like you're deliberately trying to hide it. In your arbcomm evidence you're pretending that you were just peacefully editing, and you have no idea why Ruud acted as he did. But in fact you know full well why he did, yet you're deliberately not mentioning it. That isn't good faith William M. Connolley (talk) 10:55, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I confirm, IT WAS CLEAN, but I was also working on it for the Jagged 85's "affair" when I was declared "unable" (plus other judgements) by such "authority" (see on my talk page or read your posts), and I decided it was better to let it go. What have I got to hide? It is better for Ruud if I do not mention it in the most accurate way, but it's all in the pages history. Check our conversation out. His "action" (the stubbing of the page) was an abuse of authority, but this is not the issue that interests me. I have nothing to hide. And, if you believe that there was something hidden... well, it was to protect him (Ruud). –p joe f (talk • contribs) 11:32, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You're hiding from arbcomm (or rather, discretely failing to mention) the fact that you falsely asserted the article was clean. Pretending that you're doing this for Ruud is untrue: you're doing this for your own embarassment William M. Connolley (talk) 12:34, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * click on this to check there is nothing hidden! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 12:48, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Just ignore him Pjoef. Intimidation of people who disagree with him is just one of his tactics. The incident happened because you were provoked. Thank you for stepping forward. I encourage you to put this behind you, and please know you are held in very high regard for your courage and candor. -Aquib (talk) 16:56, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You're praising his candour for hiding info? How very unfunny William M. Connolley (talk) 17:19, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Dear William. The first (not the second but the first) message (a very kind one; sorry if I'm laughing among the lines) Ruud wrote to me about Mathematics in medieval Islam was this: "Don't ever move books from a carefully selected Further reading section (ROFLAMO) into the References section. (ROFLAMO) I'd prefer it if you just stop editing that article altogether. (and Wikipedia? Why not?) This article has some serious content issues (POV) and your trivial cosmetic changes (ROFLMAO) are only making matters worse than better. (POV) —Ruud 14:03, 15 February 2011 (UTC)" I replied to Ruud at 14:38, but Ruud deliberately stubbed the article seven minutes before at 14:31 and without a discussion. This was not an incident, Aquib, but an abuse and a vandalism. (Sorry if I forgot to say this to ArbCom.)

Anyway, the sequence of my edits is as follows:


 * This was my 45th (and last) edit of "Mathematics in medieval Islam" (1st: 2011-02-14 11:19 – 45th and last: 2011-02-15 14:23) ... I spent hours there! And (probably), this was the first time I saw the "You have new messages" banner, but I didn't read Ruud's message immediately (As everyone, I was and I am still busy doing other things outside Wikipedia.)
 * 14:23, 15 February 2011 (diff | hist) Mathematics in medieval Islam ‎ (Gandz 1931, 1936, and 1938 consolidation)


 * My reply to the "kind" words of Ruud + talkback on his talk page
 * 14:38, 15 February 2011 (diff | hist) User talk:Pjoef ‎ ( →Mathematics in medieval Islam )
 * 14:40, 15 February 2011 (diff | hist) [[User talk:Ruud Koot] ‎

"Probably this is not the right place, but I have very little time. Please, check out the revision history of Mathematics in medieval Islam and see what he did. A B-class article is now a stub. I was working hard on it in the last two days and I had not finished working on it yet, when he 'stubbed' the page. I placed Under construction and In use many times on top of that page, about 12 hours of my 'precious' time has been thrown to the wind and now we ALL and Wikipedia got a STUB. I think it is a 'beeping' religious war. Please help, I'm really upset! –pjoef (...) 15:28, 15 February 2011 (UTC)" "This appears to be a significant content dispute. Reporting a good faith editor as a 'vandal' is unlikely to be helpful; please continue your disscussion with the other editor. If you feel you have reached an impasse, there are several forms of dispute resolution available to you. Kuru (talk) 15:48, 15 February 2011 (UTC)"
 * I reported Ruud as a vandal (it was) + Admin reply.
 * 15:28, 15 February 2011 (diff | hist) Administrator intervention against vandalism ‎ ( →User-reported )
 * Reply

At that point, I immediately apologized to Ruud for my report, I continued to offer my help, it was refused and I gave up. What's better than forgive and forget? If I may give you a word of advice William, may I suggest you that you do not pass judgements so easily. There's a lot we don't know about ourselves... and to judge others is always a very difficult thing to do. I'm still uncertain... some old and certain things of my past are now uncertain. Please, no vested contributors, no edit warring, but happy editing. Wikipedia is a community. Isn't? Cheers. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 11:40, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/ThermaHelm
Hi Joe,

I need your help on this.

I posted: KEEP. "fringe" is not the correct way to describe start-up companies. If they'd been around for years and achieved nothing, then maybe. As far as "offering something new and revolutionary", most would argue that these words applied tightly to a British innovation in the form of a motorcycle helmet with an endothermic reactor that cooled your brain on impact, let alone it's ability to call emergency services and transmit riders' GPS coordinates. The helmet is not "at prototype stage" just because it takes 12-16 weeks to make a bespoke, hand made carbon fibre and Kevlar helmet from the results of a fitting kit dispatched to buyers days after purchase (I brought one and thus know). The industry standard for bespoke CF helmets is 16 weeks from order to delivery, as set by 43.6% market leader Arai. The British patent is Granted it is not possible for "anyone [to] do" that. The Daily Mail don't "reprint" articles and thus that article is genuine. Notoriety is prolific as the are literally thousands of articles on this innovation in the motorcycling and general press. Biker Biker removed links to 90% of them and then claimed there aren't any(?) Odd. In this month's (April 2011) Fast Bikes magazine, ThermaHelm's Halo helmet was ranked the best in a hands-on test of all the top helmets. Just because articles like these don't get distributed on the net by the publisher in order to keep printed readership up, does not mean articles on this products are not marking its notoriety daily. Despite this, a web search shows 57,000 results Spendthrift Biker Biker then claims this university-based, life-saving innovation company has hoodwinked the public by not yet launching a less expensive version and has thus, in his opinion, has "faded to nothing" - despite totally selling out in 3 days of an 11 day show at the Carole Nash International Motorcycle Show in November last year, according to a Cisionwire news release. Hailypaige (talk) 07:26, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

New Assessment for article improvements with PPI
hi Pjoef,

Another assessment round is posted. This round is the follow-up to the previous assessment, so it should reflect some big improvements to the articles. WP:USPP Post Assessment 2.1

There is a group of about 25 subject matter experts who are assessing, and last week I sent them a tutorial video on how to leave comments on talk pages. So if you see any newcomers on the discussion pages, please help me welcome them.

You are doing a really amazing job, in fact, here at WMF, we are using your ratings as the “gold standard” to test the Article Feedback Tool and see how well it works. I will be presenting lots of research in the coming months. Thank You! Best, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 21:22, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

PPI Assessment research gets some attention!
hi Pjoef,

I wanted to let you know that FactCompany.com reported the Public Policy Initiative research. They noticed all of our hard work on article quality assessment! And, I presented some preliminary results of the Public Policy Initiative today at the Wikipedia in Higher Education Summit; it was very well received by academics. They were impressed with the rigor of the research and that is due in large part to your efforts. So yet again, Thank YOU! I will keep you posted as I continue to get the results out there. Also, if you would like a token of appreciation (aka Wikipedia swag) send me an email (aroth@wikimedia.org) and I will get a package out to you later this month. all the best, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 02:09, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Garageland (song)
Hi Pjoef! I noticed that you created Garageland (song), and put a redirect to The Clash (album).

I have created a draft for the page Garageland (song), currently a draft at User:Benzband/Garageland. It doesn't have a great deal of stuff, but i thought it might do, just so people who like the song/are interested in it can visit an independent page and maybe expand it. Could you please visit my "draft" and tell me if it's ok to put instead of your redirect?

Thanks. Benzband (talk) 14:24, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Joe! (is it joe?) I've come seeking help. I moved the Appearances (other) and Covered by sections to the talk page for further editing. I don't quite understand them. Are they just a list of appearances/covers by bands other than The Clash? if so, can i merge the two lists? or are they something more?

Oh, and thanks for all the work that you put into Garageland… you really have made it AWESOME  :)  - Benzband (talk) 19:31, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Should we let User:Benzband/Garageland into the main namespace? It can still be improved there, with the advantage that more editors might take an interest in it.  Benzband (talk) 16:17, 1 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll notify you when i move it, but first i thought i'd get the DYK right. How about:  Did you know…  "...that NME critic Charles Shaar Murray once said of The Clash that they ought to be 'returned to the garage with the engine running', prompting them to write the song Garageland?"  There are 179 characters but i'm not sure this is an as a good nomination as my wholly biased instinct made it first seem…  if you happen to think of anything please say so because it can surely work.  - Benzband (talk) 18:56, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Motto of the Day Motto Shop
Hello! My name is Belugaboy, and by now, you and I both have heard of the Motto Shop, and if not, there's a Motto Shop! It's an exclusive place where users can get their own motto to live by on the wiki. It's great, but we're really running slow, in fact, we haven't seen a customer in months. So we thought YOU, the contributors to Motto of the Day, could spread the word to your WikiFriends, heck, order yourself one, whether you have or haven't before. Thank you and warm regards to all of you!

Hi. In School of Engineering Technology of MSU-IIT, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page SKAT (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

Discussion on linking to streamed copies of albums
Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums.  SilkTork  <sup style="color:#347C2C;">✔Tea time  02:30, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia birthday
Hello,.I recently have uploaded a file to Wikimedia Commons.It shows celebrate my 11th birthday.I'm searching for some New Year motto's compatible with Wikipedia.This reminds me of my birthday; I was also born on 1st January.Get a look at it here:
 * Here I have fallen into a trouble.I have gathered a good,nice motto:Be at war with your vices; [[WP:PEACE|at peace with

your neighbours]], and let every new year find you a better man.This will do it, won't it?By the way,this motto is not coming in the contents.If you can,try to post it.If you've done it,I'll look over at MOTD to see if it's coming.Night Of Darkness 06:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Novus ordo seclorum
In the talk page of the article Novus ordo seclorum you created a new section: Seclorum or Saeclorum? I think you may be right. I'm no Latin expert, but Google Translate doesn't have anything for Seclorum, but it does have a translation for Saeclorum.

I think that this was a bit premature. I put the other nomination under as a subsection because it was for the same day; you should have let discussion occur with the second one before deciding what should happen for that day. The fact that you even considered having that be the motto for Wikipedia's birthday when we actually have an alternative now is astounding. I really think that you should undo the closing of that.

MotD-SOPA initiative
Hello there, and happy Wikipedia Day! There's a motto in Specials for January 18, 2012 (in 3 days time), so i thought i'd call for comments. Thanks in advance,  benzband  ( talk ) 18:55, 15 January 2012 (UTC)


 * . As for the obscuration, this occurred to me just as i was typing (well, pasting) the motto… especially as i had just gone and supported a full blackout for that very same Jan 18 (yes, lol). However in the event that the blackout should be only partial or even non-existent, the motto would be visible.
 * if the blackout does take place, we can report it to the day after when everyone will be going back to normal :-) benzband  ( talk ) 19:43, 16 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I thought i could contact some frequent MotD contributors about the nom but only a couple came to mind… i shall see what i can do.
 * PS. yes, i like the userbox :-) but i didn't notice it until you mentioned it (honest). i have copied/tweaked it into my page too - i think x10 is very effective ! benzband  ( talk ) 20:34, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

I believe we were possible going to have the motto be on the 19th instead; in the nomination I suggested that we have it for both the 19th and the 18th, so that it is there on the relevant day, and people still see it. What do you think? Hi 8 7 8  (Come shout at me!) 23:01, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Request for a look at my attempt to wikify List of products by Dapol
Hey, there. I've been doing a little bit of wikifying of some articles and was wondering if you would have a look at List of products by Dapol and let me know if there's any more wikifying I could do to this article. I have no knowledge of the topic, so can't really add any content or even judge the existing content. Also, I have no interest in the topic, so I don't have much motivation to research a lot to add any more. I've done some extensive research already to find the accurate links I've added.

If you could have a look at the article and leave some advice on the talk page, it would be much appreciated. :) Matt (talk) 09:26, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

dabs in Classics articles
Hi pjoef, thank you for the work that you've been doing with disambiguations in classics related articles (and the 1,000-or-so others over the past 5 days)! I wonder if you might leave a few wlinks alone in cases where you aren't positive that you're pointing people the right way. For example, in the case of "oratory", it will rarely warrant a link to "eloquence" in articles about Greco-Roman antiquity. In other places a link to a | dab page probably needs to stand, the sentence | needs to be researched and rewritten or the wlink simply needs to go (like several instances of "canonical", which is simply an English word that should never have been linked in many cases). I'm sure that neither I nor any of the other people who watch these classics pages would be peeved if you simply mass-tagged the doubtful links "dab needed". I do, whenever I run into these tags, try my best to solve the problem, and I know that other people who edit in classics do, too. Still, I appreciate your efforts with these reams of dab links you're fixing. Yours, — cardiff &#124; chestnut — 19:49, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * And I'll keep an eye out, too. I know you're just trying to efficiently clean up the lapses and laziness of the rest of us, so if I see one of yours on my watchlist I'll be sure to give it the attention it deserves.  (It'll keep me honest so far as writing wlinks and make me think, anyway.)  And happy diambiguating, to you! — cardiff &#124; chestnut —  20:38, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey there Pjoef, and first I wanna thank you for consistently helping out in the Wikification drives. Now, real quickly, I apologize for not having clearer instructions but the wordcount leaderboard award thing is for actual words in the article prior to wikification, not characters added or anything else. Again, I'm sorry we weren't clearer, but the article you posted only had a wordcount of 522 prior to your work, short of the other submission. Do you know how to use the wordcount tool? I can go through the articles you've wikified if you'd like them to be checked.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  04:49, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

It's an emergency in MOTD
I was quite satisfied with the MOTD, when suddenly, it appeared red linked. I immediately rushed to get one motto approved. Well, fine, that was for that day. Other days.....

MOTD unwritten rules
Hi there user:Pjoef, thanks for the comment: now -- there is an unwritten rule that prohibits linking to the main/article namespace with the exception of Wikipedia. -- I personally find that understandable in the main I guess, but perhaps we can do better to  ignore it occasionally. For instance check WP:CON which links to good purpose to (3) articles in the See Also. Maybe should make this as a suggestion at a suitable venue? Thanks again NewbyG  ( talk) 21:11, 11 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi again, I have made a proposal about loosening the "rules" about linking for Mottos, but I may have put it on the wrong talk page (having trouble navigating).

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Pjoef


A tag has been placed on User:Pjoef 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 person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  Yash t  101  :)  10:06, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

<poem style="background: lightgreen; color: #400000; height: 250px; overflow: auto; margin-left: 1.5em; padding-left: 4em"> Easter, 1916 by William Butler Yeats

I have met them at close of day Coming with vivid faces From counter or desk among grey Eighteenth-century houses. I have passed with a nod of the head Or polite meaningless words, Or have lingered awhile and said Polite meaningless words, And thought before I had done Of a mocking tale or a gibe To please a companion Around the fire at the club, Being certain that they and I But lived where motley is worn: All changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born.

That woman's days were spent In ignorant good will, Her nights in argument Until her voice grew shrill. What voice more sweet than hers When young and beautiful, She rode to harriers? This man had kept a school And rode our winged horse. This other his helper and friend Was coming into his force; He might have won fame in the end, So sensitive his nature seemed, So daring and sweet his thought. This other man I had dreamed A drunken, vain-glorious lout. He had done most bitter wrong To some who are near my heart, Yet I number him in the song; He, too, has resigned his part In the casual comedy; He, too, has been changed in his turn, Transformed utterly: A terrible beauty is born.

Hearts with one purpose alone Through summer and winter, seem Enchanted to a stone To trouble the living stream. The horse that comes from the road, The rider, the birds that range From cloud to tumbling cloud, Minute by minute change. A shadow of cloud on the stream Changes minute by minute; A horse-hoof slides on the brim; And a horse plashes within it Where long-legged moor-hens dive And hens to moor-cocks call. Minute by minute they live: The stone's in the midst of all.

Too long a sacrifice Can make a stone of the heart. O when may it suffice? That is heaven's part, our part To murmur name upon name, As a mother names her child When sleep at last has come On limbs that had run wild. What is it but nightfall? No, no, not night but death. Was it needless death after all? For England may keep faith For all that is done and said. We know their dream; enough To know they dreamed and are dead. And what if excess of love Bewildered them till they died? I write it out in a verse -- MacDonagh and MacBride And Connolly and Pearse Now and in time to be, Wherever green is worn, Are changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born.

WikiProject United States/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012
There are more than 80K unassessed articles about US. I had a idea to start a contest regarding Assessment.

I thought that United States has a good number of articles now and needs clean up.

This will be beneficial for articles as well as editors as they will be able to interact with editors in their country and will learn new things and can obtain a lot of knowledge about their country.

Please add your name here if you want to take part in this contest: and

If you are interested then please let me know. And if you want to take part in its coordination then please tell as I'll need help in coordinating it, because currently I m the only coordinator.

Don't you think you are closing the mottoes too early? It seems to be an unwritten rule that they have to have at least three supports, you know that. Simply south...... going on editing sprees for just 6 years (as of 28/03/2006) 10:13, 11 April 2012 (UTC)


 * @Simply South there just aren't enough people reviewing mottos these days. If a nomination receives only supports, and can't really hope to get any more reviews (seeing the current state of things), isn't it logical to just accept it? Also, maybe you are referring to the "crisis" period when MotD ran out of nominations ~ if so then i think it was justified by the simple fact that we can't have our templates going red. benzband  ( talk ) 11:32, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

What's the difference between my latest approved nominations and Everything goes there approved on 9 April 2012? Fortunately, we've managed to put aside something for a rainy day..., but the maximum number of reviewers is actually 3 (including the nominator), and I don't want to send more "invitations to participate" anymore. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:20, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of Filmizing for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Filmizing is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Filmizing until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article..  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:55, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Consensus on MOTD
I would say as we are rather low at the moment then yes after two support on top of the nomination and no objections once the 14 days are up they can be approved. I see no reason at the moment to increase the time of the mottoes as we have mottoes still spanning into next month.

New quality assessments for the education program
I'm leaving this message because you were one of the editors who assessed articles for the Public Policy Initiative last year. The Education Program is running a new set of assessments to evaluate the impact of the current set of courses on Wikipedia. If you would like to contribute assessments, please take a look at Ambassadors/Research/Article quality and do as many assessments as you have time for. Please also let anyone else know who you think might be interested in being an assessor. Thanks -- Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:20, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There's no deadline set yet, and I'm not sure there has to be one -- unlike the PPI, the EP has no obligation to produce a statistical report by a certain date. Of course it would be good to have the data sooner rather than later.  There's a meeting of the Education Working Group in July, and it would be good to have the numbers well before then, as I'm sure they'll be discussed there.  Thanks for helping out again!

Still need reviews for the Wikipedia Education Program research project
Hi, Pjoef! Thank you so much for reviewing some articles for the Wikipedia Education Program research project! The results of this project are vital for planning the coming semester in the program, and we'd like to review as many classes as possible in the next week.

I have gone through each class to prioritize for various projects, and everyone on the Education team at the Wikimedia Foundation would be extremely grateful if you could participate further by reviewing a few more articles ('pre' and 'post' versions). If we can rally a lot of editors to review one or two articles each day, we will be able to make the most use of this research for our tight timeline. We are really eager to find out which classes have been successful according to the Wikipedian standard.

Here is the list of priority articles if you're interested in helping out. Thanks so much for your consideration! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 01:39, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Someone has customized the article (and the edit summary suggest they have a conflict of interest). benzband ( talk ) 10:05, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I've tried to merge the two, see what you think. It's just that the "new" version was poorly formatted, unsourced, and read like a POV push in favor of Rhodes. benzband  ( talk ) 14:58, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * That's great! Cheers :-) benzband  ( talk ) 21:53, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Yeah. I put the note into  because the sentence it was originally refer(enc)ing to had been deleted when the "new" version was created.

Also, I removed the sentence at the end of the biography because qualifying Rhodes as an "enigmatic" humanitarian and supporting that by linking to his website is kinda original research. But i've found this on the Jewish Museum opening: http://www.jewishmuseum.org.uk/?location_id=519&item=76. benzband ( talk ) 18:49, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Richard Manitoba / Caribou
Hi Pjoef, Thanks for the greetings. I'm recruiting for extra comments on a content dispute at Richard Manitoba. Apparently there was some flare up over use of the name Manitoba some years back, and the aggrieved party has been repeatedly and persistently inserting snarky copy into the Handsome Dick article. Since he has also done press interviews, he has refs. If you could assist on consensus, much appreciated. Wwwhatsup (talk) 13:27, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

You
have been awarded the seldom coveted THUMBS UP AWARD for your exemplar editing at Louis Satterfield. I started a tinsey weenie stub about him just because he was a red link on a list of bass players and I typically remove those, but did not want to remove him from the list, so turned him into the cheapest blue link imaginable. And then you arrived shortly thereafter ("Why?" I wondered, but the answer didn't really matter) and turned the article into a fitting tribute to the man and his music. Right next to Satterfield, you rock the most. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:17, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

RfA
 smt cha hal  (talk) 12:47, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Just a heads up for next time, the pedigree of the nominator is often just as important. A good nominator will assist you with preparing your RFA questions because they actually know what the community is looking for.  They will typically guide you for a couple of months before actually submitting your name.  I'm terribly afraid that your RFA is going to crash and burn - that's NOT a reflection of your work on Wikipedia, it's a reflection on your ability to explain why you need the tools, how you showed the community that you're ready for them, and sometimes the reputation of both you and the nominator.  Don't be discouraged - your work is appreciated here, and an RFA will never say that (✉→ BWilkins ←✎) 21:33, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

You can decide what you want to do with the RfA without causing me any embarrassment
If you wish to withdraw your RfA nomination and are not doing so merely because you think I might get embarrassed if you do, please don't stop yourself. I really do appreciate your kindness (and I always have; I've not yet forgotten the barnstar you gave me about a year ago which I don't feel I deserved at that time), but I wouldn't have felt embarrassed at all if you would not have accepted the nomination for any reasons. It gets embarrassing (if it does) only when the candidate accepts and then fails.

Though you are (unfortunately) unlikely to succeed this time, I'm sure that if you gain a few months' experience of working in administrator-related fields (as a few voters suggested), you are at least more likely to succeed in your second nomination (which might even by made by an administrator, if you work hard enough). The only real reason I could conclude from the discussion (but that's just my opinion, and I'm apparently not experienced in RfA discussions) why one should oppose you was the fact that you did not have experience in administrator-related activities. I apologise for having made a premature nomination and for giving the impression that your refusal to accept the nomination will cause me some sort of humiliation, which ultimately resulted in all of this. Also, I want to clarify that although I (still) do believe you will make a good admin, I'm not saying you should re-apply some time later or that you should try working in admin-related fields at all. I request you to take all decisions about your user rights on your own without being influenced by anything I do or say (that I am a lot less experienced than you is just one reason for this). With kind regards,  smt cha hal  (talk) 14:00, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I noticed this edit to the RFA. If your intent was to withdraw, you can leave a note at WT:RFA or just add a note at the top below where you accepted the nomination. Your nominator offers good advice, above - if this is something you want to pursue, it's a simple thing to ease yourself into AFD and AIV, perhaps commenting occasionally at ANI or the like. Of course, given how the RFA went, I would not be surprised at all if you told us to go to hell - but I remain convinced that you'd be a good admin. So, either way, good luck.

RfA afterthoughts
Hello Pjoef! I'd like to thank you for the emulable manner in which you stood as a candidate for RfA. You demonstrated a remarkable strength of character under adverse conditions. I can not imagine a better answer to have given your critics. I understand the emotional drain, having stood as an RfA candidate four times; unsuccessfully. I wish you the very best and look forward to seeing your future contributions. With esteem, My76Strat (talk) 16:05, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

 * 1) Within the header, the phrase "On the first If you would like to contribute..." it would be better to add a link that points to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U2 → &hellip;join the discussion &hellip; or contact us OR contact Miss Bono [and NOT pjoef :)];
 * 2) U2 News seems to be okay. Isn't?
 * 3) There is a page Portal:U2/Did you know that perfecly fits your U2-DYK needs :). Take a look at it.

WP: U2 Newsletter for May 2013 II
I thinks is ready to be posted <span style="font-family:'Segoe Script',cursive"> Miss Bono   (zootalk)  12:10, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Check the new U2 barnstar I made and tell me what you think User_talk:Miss_Bono<span style="font-family:'Segoe Script',cursive">  Miss Bono   (zootalk)  12:19, 2 May 2013 (UTC) The copyright license template placed on File:NoLineU2Promo.jpg says that "[it] is of a cover of an audio recording, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the work or the artist(s) which produced the recording or cover artwork in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers solely to illustrate the audio recording in question, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement." See Non-free content for more information. So, we eventually have to remove the file (declaration) from the source code of the newsletter. I'm going to see the barnstar.... –p joe f (talk • contribs) 12:46, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Really? Great!!! I'm going to take a look at both of them. I fear I must be the harbringer of bad news because we cannot use album covers for the newsletter but only in its own article, rarely in discographies, and in very special cases such as the article about The Clash album London Calling where it is shown the artwork for Elvis Presley's debut album for comparison.

DOne!! :P What does the DO NOT ASK FOR its deletion mean?? <span style="font-family:'Segoe Script',cursive"> Miss Bono   (zootalk)  12:52, 2 May 2013 (UTC) What others think of the barnstar? The instructions on how to make a new barnstar Ver. 2.0 are very simple and remastering older or non-compliant versions is also possible, so there is nothing to worry about. I made some minor changes to the newsletter (sandbox 6 ver.). It seems okay. , I do not like the difference in vertical space of the two columns. The right column has too much empty/unused space at its bottom. What do you think if we move down one row the Picture of the month thing, occupying the full row above Article Statistics and Notes? –p joe f (talk • contribs) 13:57, 2 May 2013 (UTC) There are two main formats for a newsletter: the first type is an announce/a simple text message containing the |link to the newsletter. Each member will see (and probanly read) the newsletter only after he/she makes a click on this link. This is the less aggressive. The other will post all the contents of WikiProject U2/Outreach/newslettermay13 within the member talk page, which means that each member will have the entire newsletter and its source code all on its talk page.

 * I was referring to the physical deletion of the file :) Don't mind :). How did you do it? It's good and ways better than the previous version.

So, I decided to move the DYK? section at the very bottom of the right column, and everything seems fine. Isn't? I do not know when. It must be first copied to WikiProject U2/Outreach/newslettermay13. Also, I have to see how to send it out. Does it need to be substituted or trascluded? And, who will send it to all WP:U2 members?

Also, the little stars placed around the central ring are not positioned in the same way (I noticed some small differences in their positions).

New Information for Bono's Article
I've heard that Bono sold his New York duplex in 5.5 million USD. I need more information about that. Can you check out?? "Ref:
 * Please, read this article.

Result: Abelson, Max (7 April 2008). Beautiful Deal: Bono Finally Sells El Dorado Co-Op for $4.9 M.. New York: The New York Observer." –p joe f (talk • contribs) 09:43, 10 May 2013 (UTC) By Max Abelson 4/07/08 5:09pm [for The New York Observer]
 * I couldnt read that. Sorry--<span style="font-family:'Segoe Script',cursive"> Miss Bono   (zootalk)  16:04, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Oops [[File:Kopfschuettel.gif]] sorry I forgot &hellip; so here it is for you to read: <blockquote style="background: whitesmoke; border: 1px gainsboro solid; padding: .4em 1em">Beautiful Deal: Bono Finally Sells El Dorado Co-Op for $4.9 M.

New York suffered a brutal blow to its ego last week when Madonna said she was totally over Manhattan. “It’s not the exciting place it used to be,” the singer said. “It still has great energy; I still put my finger in the socket. But it doesn’t feel alive.”

So when The Observer found a real estate record filed just this morning that said Bono and his wife Ali Hewson had sold their Central Park West apartment, it seemed crushing. Could Madonna and Bono both be abandoning New York in the same short span? No.

According to the $4.9 million deed, the co-op is Bono’s old 2,322-square-foot apartment at the El Dorado at 90th Street and Central Park West.

He first bought the place for $3.4 million, but left it five years ago for Steve Jobs’ old apartment at the San Remo down the block. (Mr. Jobs sold the place for around $14.5 million, less than the reported $15 million he spent on renovations that involved both Robert A.M. Stern and I.M. Pei.)

Even though Bono bought that co-op in April 2003, he put the El Dorado apartment on the market in March 2006 for $5.95 million, a brokerage database shows, though the price was reduced to $5.5 million in June. Instead of the 12-foot, 800-pound doors in his new co-op, this littler place has two petite bedrooms, a nicer-sized master suite, and a 320-square-foot terrace and living room facing Central Park. All that now goes, the deed says, to a couple from Westchester.

But life for Bono at the San Remo hasn’t been entirely perfect: He squabbled with neighbors, including lesser arena rock star Billy Squier, over hazardous smoke wafting up into his penthouse duplex. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 16:41, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

This does not apply to all web pages and all websites, but it could be useful to you –p joe f (talk • contribs) 19:10, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Please, read WP:NSONGS first. Also, there is stll a list of songs recorded by U2. I will check them out and get back to you on whether they are notable. Also, we need to see if there is enough material. We could collect the material about these songs on a sandbox and then move contents to newly created article and/or to the article of the related album, on a case-by-case basis. In case we are certain that a song is notable and there is enough material for a non-permanent stub, which means an an effective article, then we can add the song to the project to-do list as a red link. Also read The "Croughton-London" rule when you have time.
 * I have access to google only when I go to a school near to my house, not at work. I go there once in a while to download some cached oage for me to read about Bono and his mates ;). But I can't go there too often.

 * The first thing that comes to my mind is that two collabs departments are, in fact, too many to run. I think that one is enough and may work better in the long term. Both have never produced any results. whereby, a merger of the two would be desirable. Their "bad success", or rather their failure depends on many factors. Despite the fact that Wikipedia is a community I have noticed in recent times that participation in WikiProjects is diminished. I'm participating in several WPs and it's always the same thing. For example the last drive of the WikiProject Wikify involved only a few number of editors when compared to previous editions. It's the same at WP:MOTD where there are at most four to six contributors, while in the past there were at least a dozen of participants. This is something that I would like to bring to the attention of Wikipedia, but I have not yet found the time to make a more accurate investigation. Time is a tyrant! And, I have very little time now (e.g. for this). –p joe f (talk • contribs) 11:38, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Contents form EDUN, DIESEL, and etcetera are WP:PRIMARY, but I know that you do not have full access to the Internet, so I'll also post them for you. Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Louis Vuitton, and LVMH articles should be used as templates (sections, style, contents, and etcetera) for EDUN.

EDUN
Hi, Thereoadislong says the headquarters are in Ireland. But you or TheOriginalSoni post it was in Kenya, Morocco, Madagascar, Uganda, Tunisia. Where can you get the exact information?? <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono   (zootalk)  13:25, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I think you may have miss-understood the meaning of headquarters? The company is based in Dublin Ireland but products are made in all those other countries. Theroadislong (talk) 13:32, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, Theroadislong. Thanx. I just wanted to make sure because I don't have internet to make the proper research by myself. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono   (zootalk)  13:34, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

The Clarence Hotel and Ali Hewson
Hello Pjoef. Thanks for the link the other day. Hope you have had a good weekend. If possible I need you to find for me any info you can get about The Clarence Hotel, I want to start the article. And as for Ali Hewson, I am palnning to take it to FA Class, maybe you can help me finding info about this sections (seems like they have a lack of info compared to the other sections in the article):... Thanks! <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Ms.Bono  (zootalk) ☆ 19:09, 1 July 2013 (UTC) The following is taken from the press page of its website: <blockquote style="font-size:x-small">Built in 1852, The Clarence had last been refurbished during the late Thirties in the Arts & Crafts style originating from when the hotel was first built.
 * A google search for "Clarence Hotel" "Ali Hewson" returns 7,760 results. Are you looking for some particular information? What happens if I find something? Where can I post the most relevant of them? → User:Miss Bono/sandbox8 or User talk:Miss Bono/sandbox8 or wherever? Is this hotel related to EDUN's article?

By the Seventies, while still retaining a sense of Old World charm and dignity, it was past its prime. At the same time, the ranks of the original clientele, once drawn primarily from the clergy, judiciary and visitors from the provinces, were swelled by the artists, musicians, writers and designers who began to make the Temple Bar area their own.

Among the regulars were two members of the rock group U2, Bono & The Edge, whose fond recollections of their youthful haunt led them to assemble a consortium of Irish investors and purchased the hotel in 1992 with a view to restoring it to the former glory of this Dublin city hotel.

To realise their vision, the owners assembled a team of professionals from both Ireland and abroad. The result of their collaboration, guided by the owners' directive that the design respect the country's quintessential Irish heritage and character.

A hotel like The Clarence is inevitably a personal vision, and for the owners, The Clarence is where they would choose to stay when visiting Dublin - a hotel in Temple Bar that is at once simple but elegant, unpretentious but luxurious, that is modern but also embodies the best of traditional Irish hospitality. Of course it is a primary source, but it can give us an idea of what we are trying to find. Bestest! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 06:50, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello Joe. I am bothering you cuz I dont know if I should revert the las change made to Bono's article. Some user added the Irish Christians catergory. What do you think? <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  (zootalk) ☆ 19:24, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Category:Irish Christians features 9 pages only, including Bono and The Cranberries' singer Dolores O'Riordan. Is Bono an Irish Christian, a Catholic, or a Roman Catholic (his mother was a member of the Church of Ireland [Anglican] while his father was a Roman Catholic)? Some of the other pages/persons listed there belong to that category. In any case and by reading his article the only link is that when he was young he served for the Church of Ireland. I'm dubious and I personally think that this categorization is irrelevant. What do others think about this? –p joe f (talk • contribs) 06:52, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

WP:U2 2013-07-16
Hello, 'P'. I was surfing Wikipedia for new things to do and I found this. I was thinking about creating one of those for our WikiProject, I think it'd be cool. What do you think? <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [zootalk] ☆ 13:42, 16 July 2013 (UTC) A-tishoo! A-tishoo! We all fall down." :) The following list shows some possible solutions (in reverse order): <ul><li>there is a tool at toolserver (Wikipedia article traffic statistics, which is in alpha version) that can show the views counts (per page). I tried it out, but it does NOT function; </li><li>Wikipedia article traffic statistics at stats.grok.se runs well but it reports at least the last 90 days. For example: U2 has been viewed 356101 times in the last 90 days. This article ranked 3637 in traffic on en.wikipedia.org; </li><li>It would be easy to me to run a query and extrapolate (extract) data from the database, but I'm not a database administrator or operator on Wikimedia and Wikimedia servers. I could download the whole database (it's a BIG file) or data dumps from Page view statistics for Wikimedia projects. </li><li>WikiProject Popular pages lists is my favourite choice. It automatically makes queries to the database for hitcount data (per WikiProject), makes graphs, and some minor operation like a summary count of the views for all pages in the WikiProject, adding page views of a redirect page to its related page or per day/per page average. It is the tool used by some Wikiproject for this scope (including WikiProject_Sociology/Popular_pages). </li></ul> The last option is my favourite&hellip; I will make a request for adding WikiProject The Clash to that list of WikiProjects on next November. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 11:18, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:SOCIOLOGY has some 4,000 pages so it is simple (and useful) for them to have a page like that, while WP:U2 covers 400 pages (including categories, files, portal and project pages, and templates). Are you able to create that kind of list/table and do you have access to the proper tool[s] at toolserver.org? If your answer is yes and you are not sure about the final result, then start it from a sandbox of yours and see what will happen. If you will get a good result then start the project page immediately. Otherwise, I will (try to) help you with this. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 18:22, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Regarding U2's song
Do we have an explanation on why Bono named the song "Bullet the Blue Sky". Isn't Bullet a noun instead of a verb? <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [zootalk]  17:13, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
 * "Bullet" is also a verb that means to speed at great velocity or to make a fast shot. The song is an anti-war song that takes its cue from Reagan/US foreign policy and nazi-fascist/military dictatorships in El Salvador and in Central America during the 1980s. Its title (and lines) in my opinion means to fill the sky with bullets/projectiles. Why are you asking me this? Do you want to improve its article? Or is it related to the newsletter, or just curiosity? The Only Band That Matters, who wrote the "rule book" for U2, faced this theme on "the triple" (catalogue number: "FSLN1"; and my all time favourite album) in 1980. Bono was in El Salvador in 1985 (circa) with Amnesty International. The song and its album (TJT) were released in March 1987. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 08:11, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep, I knew what the song is about. And knew what happened in El Salvador. I was thinking about improving the article, use it in a subsequent Newsletter and just for curiosity... I didn't know that bullet was also a verb... Bullet the Blue Sky is the #1 in my list of favourite songs in TJT :) <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [zootalk]  12:29, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

I have a concern. This is what Bono says in the book: Bono: It's like cell divisions, our songs keep shedding their sking and a new song emerges. 'Native Son' was inspired by leonard Peltier, the Native American rights activist, and it was an interesting idea for a song. On its way to becoming 'Vertigo' it stopped off at the mezzanine floor and turned into 'Shark Soup'.

Here's the deal, I understood that the song was first Native Son and then Shark Soup and then Vertigo, but, as English is not my native language I might got it wrong. What do you understand after reading it. If I got it wrong, feel free to change the DYK. Thanks! :) <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [zootalk]  13:45, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Do not use books or other sources. I could search the web for DYKs about U2 and find tons of ready-to-use materials. We need to extrapolate and create our DYKs from all Wikipedia articles related to U2. About your question, see "Vertigo". "Shark Soup" is an unreleased demo (but also a version of "Vertigo") from that period/album. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 14:07, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi! (2013-09-03)
Welcome back. How was your vacations? <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [zootalk]  17:32, 3 September 2013 (UTC) I'm a db admin on a dozen of db servers, so if you need help with databases please contact me! What book[s] are you using to study database and/or PostgreSQL? The full documentation for pgAdmin III 1.16.1 is available online at pgadmin.org/docs/1.16. I suppose you do not have access to this resource due to your firewall and internet connection related problems. Please PM me if I can help. This world is full of too many idiots, just ignore all of them! I've added more articles and biographies to Portal:U2. One of these days I would like to add the random portal component for quotations and DYKs →( 11:52, 4 September 2013 (UTC)). I've also taken a look at WP:U2/Outreach/newsletterdraft and U2 by U2. I'll let you know what I think, especially with regard to the latter. Best!!! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 08:24, 4 September 2013 (UTC) Regarding U2:Portal... It's a big thing the random portal component 0_o... I will take a look at what you've add to the portal :) and... as for the newsletter draft: Two users left the project and 2 more joined us... so... I guess it's karma :). Let me know if i can do something there. Best! <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [zootalk]  12:28, 4 September 2013 (UTC) We are now using the random portal component for Articles, Bios, Pictures, and DYKs sections. I've copied all the quotations related to U2 from WikipediA's articles and WikiQuote. Now, I'm removing all the duplicates and trying to group all of them by period/date, album, and/or author. Even if I copied them from WikiQuote, which is in the public domain, I am not sure if we can use U2's lyrics. Also, the multi-line lyrics will produce a very tall quotes box, and, subsequently, the column to which the quotes box belongs would become too tall either. We have several possibilities: 1. to not use the lyrics at all 2. to use the lyrics but writing them all on one line by replacing new lines with slashes "/", 3. to show only one quote at a time. When I have finished to organize that page, then we will take care of this problem. If you want to know how it runs then check out the DYK section of the U2 Portal. There are (atm) 25 subpages (one for each of the DYK) and 5 random portal components (rpc). The first rpc calls subpages from 1 to 5, the second → 6–10, the third → 11–15; the fourth → 16–20, and the fifth and last → 21–25. We will change these values ​​depending on our future needs (5 groups seems to be good both for DYK and quotes). –p joe f (talk • contribs) 13:46, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

There have been severla incidents since you were gone. I first decided to quit Wikipedia and then I didn't and... too confusing :) <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [zootalk]  19:09, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * No worries and take all the time you need to reply.

 * It is a very good idea to study db by yourself. My advice is to study SQL language, which applies, with minor differences, to all major RDBMS such as Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL and DB2/Informix.
 * This is a full list of [Special:Search?search=U2&prefix=Wikipedia%3ARecent+additions&fulltext=Search+archives&fulltext=Search DYKs related to U2] <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [zootalk]  14:41, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

 * There is no problem! The portal DYK section has been now completed. Right now, it features 56 facts related to U2 (33 appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page; all others are from our past newsletters). I've also added more info to the portal peer review. I'm now working on portal quotes. All quotes are now grouped by author/album/date except for those coming from our past newsletters (atm they are at the bottom of the page, but I'm working on them). Some quotes are too big and lyrics from U2's songs have the same problem. I'm not sure on how to proceed, but I would like to complete this section in a couple of days. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 12:50, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * What about the /s for the lyircs. Having them on the same line separated with /, as you said before. I can find shorter quotes for you. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive">  Miss Bono  [zootalk]  13:04, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think I'll go with slashes for lyrics, but I am not 100% sure about the use of lyrics as free content. Yes, Wikiquote uses them and it is in the public domain, but this is the English Wikipedia and it is far more important (and visited) than Wikiquote. Also, there are some quotes that are very-very long, I think that I'll reduce them. I'm going to work on a case by case basis.
 * I can find short quotes for you in U2 by U2. It clearly says at the end: NO part of this book may be used or reproduced in any manner whatsoever without written permission except in the case of brief quotations embodied in critical articles and reviews. Also we can choose the shortest lines of the lyircs, I think that there are a bunch very short but touching. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [zootalk]  13:38, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * We do not need more quotations&hellip;

&hellip;but to short the existing ones, and remove duplicates and unnecessary and irrelevant quotations (or parts of them). Can you help me with this? –p joe f (talk • contribs) 14:04, 5 September 2013 (UTC) Well, some of the quotes taken from Wiquote have some parts in boldface, but I removed it. I think it is best to go with the ones (or parts of) we like the most. Just do NOT remove all quotes tagged as Used before or with a small text indicating one of ours newsletters. Those quotes have been published on the portal and/or on our newsletters, so I would like to mantain all of them. If you want I could change the colour of the font to RED for quotes (or pats of) that I do not like, and, if you agree, you'll delete those parts. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 17:32, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Well, I'm using another strategy: I opened the Wikiquote page for Bono and transformed the normal text into RED, which means that our normal text is in boldface on Wikiquote. Now, I'll do the same for U2 and other members quotes on Wikiquote. The answer to your green question is NOooooooooT :D because I would like to use all of them and the most important thing is to group all of them to avoid that Bono (in particular) appears in all sets of quotes at the same time. Anyway, make them green , blue , boldface, boldface+italic or whatever you like! :D I'l now change the headers to avoid edit conflicts. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 18:24, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Let's talk about formats! We have two cases: citations made ​​by people and songs' lyrics (part of).

Here are two examples: Which do you prefer? –p joe f (talk • contribs) 18:41, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * "quotation..." —Author, reason or theme (if exist), source (year or date)
 * "lyrics..." —"Song" (Author), album (year)
 * "lyrics..." —Author, "Song", album (year)
 * The author must be Bono, right?... so I prefer the first-- "lyrics..." —"Song" (Author), album (year)
 * Also, you have message below the four letter words comment.

<span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [zootalk]  18:50, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, he (probably) is the author of all of their lyrics. There is a third option: we could eventually remove the Author part:

I could be wrong but some of the quotes within U2 by U2 are taken from their archives. For example: "I thought “pop” was a term of abuse, it seemed sort of insulting and lightweight. I didn't realise how cool it was.&hellip;" is featured on this book, but it was part of an article, "Growing Up With U2", written by Neil McCormick for The Daily Telegraph and Propaganda fanzine on 1 January 1997. Miss Bono, it would be great to know what are the original sources for all quotes taken from U2 by U2 (if you can). Thanks for your help! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:42, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It could be that Neil used some quotes from their early interviews and added them to the book. I will try to find some in the pages I downloaded when I was at school when I had Internet access... You're welcome. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [zootalk]  18:41, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Miss Bono, I've added more quotes but now there is another hitch at: "A lot of the songs on our last album were quite abstract...". Please, take a look at it.

I've updated the "U2 News" at our newsletterdraft and I would like to add some DYKs about Rattle and Hum, taken from Portal:U2/Quotes. Hopefully, we will use Portal's DYKs and Quotes for our future newsletter. All the best and thanks again. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC) Sure. I would like to add quotes related to Rattle and Hum and transform them into DYKs. I think that there is only one quote that is suitable for this scope: "Rattle and Hum was conceived as a scrapbook, a memento of that time spent in America on the Joshua Tree tour. It changed when the movie, which was initially conceived of as a low-budget film, suddenly became a big Hollywood affair. That put a different emphasis on the album, which suffered from the huge promotion and publicity, and people reacted against it." Best! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:27, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

 * b3 = <yes/no>
 * b4 = <yes/no>
 * b5 = <yes/no>
 * b6 = <yes/no>

 * I'll be glad to do so, but, how would I know whether to say yes or no <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  13:40, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, at least it's the same as reviewing an article :D (^_______^)! Articles assessments are based on two main things: Quality, which is expressed by the "class" parameter, and Importance. The first refers to the overall quality of an article, and for Start/C/B-class articles can be extended with the 6 parameters above. How can I decide whether it's "yes" or "no"? :) By reading the article... :D of course :D !!! Some articles are tagged by editors... and this could help. For example, if you are logged in, you can find hidden categories within the Catgories box at the very bottom of an article, and if this article is tagged with cn then it is very likely that the answer to the first question, "b1", is "no" ... and so on. The importance (and its "Low" to "Top" scale) were introduced (if I remember rightly) by Wikipedia Version 0.5, a CD containing the best and most impotant articles taken from the English version of Wikipedia. It is my personal opinion that the "Quality" must be the same for all WikiProjects, but this is a controversial question. Imprtance varies (eg. a song by U2 has different importance values for WP:U2 and WP:Songs). Read the instructions at Template:WikiProject U2/doc, and also Peer review and related links. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:44, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Rummaging through Wikipedia's "paperwork" I found some articles about women and their marriages within the opening line of the lead section. The most of them were queens consort (Catherine de' Medici, Alexandra of Denmark, Anne of Denmark, Caroline of Ansbach, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, Mary of Teck, Mary II of England, Olga Constantinovna of Russia, Teresa Cristina of the Two Sicilies). The only article that I've been able to find, and that is similar, albeit only partially, to that of Ali Hewson, is: :Rachel Chiesley, Lady Grange "Rachel Chiesley, usually known as Lady Grange (1679–1745), was the wife of Lord Grange, a Scottish lawyer with Jacobite sympathies.

 * You better log in :). Oh, I get it now, but what's so funny about listening a song for a week, it's rather ridiculous, I must confess, but I can't help it, I just can't.

Lo siento :)
Hola Pjoef... I'll take a look at it very soon. I'm busy with work and (on the Wikipedia side) with the October wikify drive, and I'm also trying to update the discography of the only band that matters (godfathers of U2 and &hellip; &ldquo;the greatest rock band, they wrote the rule book for U2.&rdquo; — Bono [Vox] in Let Fury Have the Hour: The Punk Rock Politics of Joe Strummer by Antonino D'Ambrosio (2004). :D ;) A couple of weeks ago, I've copied all articles (their links, of course :D) that belong to WPU2 here. All articles are listed by the "importance scale". My idea is to remove all articles that are properly assessed (for example, U2 main article and all members' article correctly belong to "Top importance", and can be safely removed from those lists) and tag and move all others&hellip;. To learn more about the importance scale please read: WikiProject_U2/Assessment and Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Release_Version_Criteria. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 13:26, 17 October 2013 (UTC) P.S.: I hope that you soon get over the flu! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 13:38, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I hope you are doing great. I have a flu. I didn't want to bother you, but I am stuck in the draft of U2 by U2 and wanted to know if you can still help me :) Best! <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  12:46, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ¡Hola L.!
 * Miss Bono, at first glance it seems to be okay. Just remove the Table of contents section and the "small" text under Chapter twelve. Chapters from ten to twelve seem to be not ready, then summarize and merge all contents from Chapters into Summary, and you have done.
 * Can't remember if I've told you before that I like The Clash, they are very powerful. I will read the importance scale and the other link you pointed out.
 * So, that's it? Just removing, writing and merging? Wao! That's fast. Thanks! But... what about the Book reviews section, it is hard for me as a non-native speaker of English. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  14:00, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Miss Bono, this is "phase 1" of the reassessing task. In phase 2, we will change the "importance" fields for the moved and tagged articles&hellip;. About the book, I'll see what I can do. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:14, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Oooh! Cool! <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  15:18, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I have left you some messages at the page you linked. I need help with a WikiLove template I created myself, everytime I post it on anybody's page, it says John Doe, Miss Bono has given you... but when other user post after me, the name on the template is replaced by the name of the user who posted. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  16:42, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it's because Template:Blank WikiLove has been using REVISIONUSER since the 23 May edit by Jerem43. --Stfg (talk) 23:45, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

U2 by U2 Summary
When can we start working on the summary, I am so excited about it! Hope you are good. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  15:15, 24 October 2013 (UTC) Miss Bono, is your book of 2009? We will use your book to get the page numbers for all citations. If your book has been published in 2009 then I will provide you all parts that are in needing of their own page number. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 14:45, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * /O\ Oh, dear &hellip; I left a message on your talk page a couple of days ago (see the last line on that section) and there are a few questions that are waiting for you (to answer) at User:Pjoef/Sandbox/WPs. I think it's almost ready for the main namespace. Bestest! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:48, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I have responded a few of those questions and I've asked a couple of questions as well to you. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  15:52, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Miss Bono, I've replied and added one more question and a DYK suggestion. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 17:58, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I've replied<span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  18:17, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Did the quotes I gave you work? See this Template_talk:Did_you_know and Template_talk:Did_you_know <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  14:07, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I've added the quotations (taken from Portal:U2). Now we need one more quotation only (for the 1982–1989 period). The most suitable seems to be: "We knew the world was ready to receive the heirs to The Who. All we had to do was to keep doing what we were doing and we would become the biggest band since Led Zeppelin, without a doubt. But something just didn't feel right. We felt we had more dimension than just the next big anything, we had something unique to offer." by Bono (and I think that I'm going to use it.)

All the quotes I gave you were from 1982-1989. I'll keep looking for more. and yes, my book is a copy of the smallies :P 2009 from !t books <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  14:53, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Miss Bono, I've used a quotation by Bono about The Unforgettable because I prefer to use quotations that are featured on our portal instead of using new ones. I'm sorry for that, but, you know, there are copyright problems with quotations.... The summary section is ready for the main namespace. I just need the page numbers or positions (front/back cover...) of them. The numbered list (1 to 8) is at the end of the section (the part for the main namespace), under the "Page numbers/positions" header. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:14, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

P.S.: I've asked you to nominate U2 by U2 at DYK because I know that many editors count their successful DYK nominations. I just wanted to give you all credits for it. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 18:49, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Why thank you, but all the credit for the article and the DYK goes to you. You have done a great job. I regret I haven't been so involved in the creation process. I even feel ashamed for not helping you that much. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  19:54, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Probably because I'm an inobtrusive worker. :D All is well that ends well! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 20:34, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I've just removed the section on my sandbox, but I read your latest message. You are welcome! And yes, the coffee table and paperback versions have different page numbers because of their differences in size. Bestest! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 20:39, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Newsletter 2.0

 * Yer welcome lol... Hey, should be add some non-free picts of the inside of the book to the article? Also, I am ready to keep working on the Newsletter, I have a couple ideas on the back of my mind. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  13:23, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It is not a good idea to use non-free media and images on this article, even if it is in needing of one or more images (and of a proper WP:LEAD!!!). In my opinion, the book cover is enough at the moment. Search Wikimedia Commons for free pictures that are suitable for this article (if there is one). The newsletter is ready for publishing, and U2's new album will be released in 2014. Please, tell me what's on your mind? → Show me your ideas! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 14:03, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I will look for sure. I will show you in a tick :D... Let you know when I am done... Have you thought about the idea of making a preview and deliver it at the members' pages with a link to the whole newsletter like The Signpost? <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  14:05, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Forgot to add this to the newsletter. Can't wait to hear the song:
 * It was revealed on 17 October 2013, U2 had written a song specifically for the film entitled Ordinary Love..
 * Subscribers of the band's official website were able to hear it first.
 * <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  14:15, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The Signpost way to deliver newsletters is the best way possible. Yes, I know, it's a film about Nelson Mandela, and the song is its main theme. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 14:39, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

I can't wait to watch the film either. I am a fan of Mandiba. Have you heard the portion of the song? Oh, I am finishing the idea for the newsletter. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  14:52, 29 October 2013 (UTC) The DYK is okay (gr8) :D, but what if the newsletter theme is not an album? –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:53, 29 October 2013 (UTC) P.S.: It could be "Featured content" or "Featured carticle"??? "Ordinary Love" (full version) will be released tomorrow 30 October. I've added two more news to the newsletter. Do you want to send it for the first days of November? If yes, then choose 2-3 quotes from Portal:U2/Quotes (a list of quotes that we have used before —on our previous newsletters— is here; do not use them, of course). Write me if you encounter any problem. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 19:01, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have watched the film trailer, which also features that song, on YouTube. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:08, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * How's the song? Is it good? I cannot hear it :'( <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  15:17, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I will give it 6 out of 10, but the trailer is too short, it's about 1 minute and 20-30 seconds, and there are actors' voices that are clouding the song for the most of it.
 * Aww, only 6... I wish I could hear it. I am praying for the song is included in the new album. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  15:28, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I've been too generous with my 6-star rating. lol –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:38, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Awww... why? Take a look at the newsletter's DYK section and tell me what do you think... be generous lol <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  15:40, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Because there are countless (if not infinite) super-ultra-fantastic songs in this world.
 * Heheh I know. It was a joke. So what do you suggest, creating something more general or me crating a new one as we create future newsletters? With more general I mean something like the subject or main subject<span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  15:58, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Miss Bono, it surely is an article, but "The Article", "Article", "Issue's Theme", or "Theme" do not sound very good. Probably, it would be great to use the title of the featured article (except for albums, of course :D).

Miss Bono, see WikiProject Punk music/Zine, when you have time. I think we can use it as our template. It is delivered in small format and has a nice badge that is used for the Zine, the small version and as a badge on users' pages. We also have our badge. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 19:19, 29 October 2013 (UTC) Whaaat?

I'll be choosing them right now :) <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  19:24, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

 * 1) We have to add our usernames to User:EdwardsBot/Access list We need to request access at User talk:EdwardsBot/Access list.
 * 2) Update the "Spam" page with the message at User:EdwardsBot/Spam
 * 3) Update the bot status to "Start" at User:EdwardsBot/Status
 * The key gets placed by the bot at the bottom of the message like this:  (in this case it's 0629). I think it's there to tell the bot that he has already delivered the relevant message to said page, so that if the delivering process gets interrupted and has to start over it won't add the message several times to the same page. Adding 1 to the previous one each time (e.g. here, it's 0628 so change to 0629) gives a unique key string and keeps it simple for the next user.
 * Nutshell.png Nutshell TL;DR: The key is +1 to the previous key.
 * Also they're working on an easier way to deliver messages called Extension:MassMessage, which shouldn't require a key or spam page. :) benzband  ( talk ) 23:22, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

The sleeve artwork features a striking painting of Nelson Mandela by Irish artist and illustrator Oliver Jeffers. Oliver, along with Mac Premo, has also directed a lyric video for Ordinary Love which we'll carry on U2.com during November. The band wrote the new song at the invitation of movie producer Harvey Weinstein and the b-side of the Record Store Day release will feature a second track, Breathe (Mandela Version). from: http://www.u2.com/news/title/ordinary-love-on-vinyl
 * Ordinary Love on Vinyl
 * Ordinary Love, a new song written for the upcoming movie Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom, will be released in a 10-inch vinyl pressing to mark Record Store Day on November 29th.
 * Aww I thought we were going to have a digital release by now. :'( Thanks for the info. I will add it to the article. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  19:10, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Fonts Test
Since I am at work, using Ubuntu and don't have those fonts installed, can yu take a screenshot of the examples you added and uploaded so I am able to see them? <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  16:38, 6 November 2013 (UTC) Please, tell me the name of the fonts used in File:WP U2 Newsletter.png, File:From the editors wpu2.png, File:U2.svg, and (possibly) The Unforgettable! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 17:25, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * That's exactly what I need! :D ...and that's the reason why I've started the test! :D You can find all of those typefaces on Wikipedia (Clarendon (typeface), Egyptienne (typeface), Rockwell (typeface), Palatino, Georgia (typeface), ...) and on various other websites about fonts.
 * Oh, but I would like to see how does "WikiProject U2" look like with the different fonts.
 * The font for File:WP U2 Newsletter.png is "Engebrechtre Bold", for File:U2.svg is Clarendon Light (my favourite and used for How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb), for File:From the editors wpu2.png is BudHand Bold, as for the font used in TUF, I will tell you after I ask at the RefDesk. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  17:44, 6 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Here! there is a link they gave me at the RefDesk: the name is "Bolide". I cannot follow the link, but that's the name they pointed out for TUF. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive">  Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  18:11, 6 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Now I see al the fonts as if they were only Arial. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  18:31, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Look at what I made <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  14:22, 7 November 2013 (UTC) I WANT!!! → (I would like to have) :D 6 articles/sections per newsletter, The first/opening section should be "Featured content" I'm studying the others. You can see something about this on the header section on top of WikiProject U2/Outreach/newsletterdraft. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:01, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I've heard of that Mephisto[pheles] somewhere over the rainbow, but I didn't know it was Bono! Kidding a part, it looks GREAT!

Please take a screen shoot of the fonts Claredon and Bolide for me to see it. <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  14:46, 7 November 2013 (UTC) P.S.: I see Rockwell, Perpetua and Perpetua Titling MT, Baskerville, Bodoni MT, Century Schoolbook, Brush Script MT, Tempus Sans ITC, and Mistral. Anyway, I moved all the tables with web safe fonts at the bottom of that page, in Resources→Fonts. I will build the CSS fonts stacks for the generic families of fonts (serif, sans-serif, cursive, fantasy, and monospace), as soon as possible. <br (>P.S.2: Miss Bono, we need 6 sections to get something like the headers on Wikipedia Signpost/Single and Wikipedia Signpost. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:01, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't have those fonts intalled on the computer I'm using right now. It is possible to see all kinds of fonts on some websites such as http://www.fonts.com – http://www.dafont.com – http://www.1001freefonts.com – http://www.fontsquirrel.com – http://www.myfonts.com and many others (but I imagine that you do not have access to them). See Clarendon (typeface) and Bodoni, and tell me if these pages are good enough for you.

No, I don't have access to those sites. I like both fonts, specially Claredon
 * Sorry the late reply I was having some Macaroni salad for tea. Wao, thanks for your thoughts on my MacPhisto drawing.

I was thinking about giving an award to editors per nl, for their contributions or something like that

As for the sections:


 * Featured content – I would like to open the nl with this section/article. It will cover several aspects of the so called issue's theme (an article related to U2 in the main namespace): the lead, its rev. history and rating and statistics... interviews to or thoughts and words (things) by editors involved with this article. It can also include the "best of" → quote, picture, and DYKs *:(Agree)
 * From the editors – this is a good section, but we do not have enough participants to make this section runs, right now.
 * (We have to do something, we'll never going to have enough members)
 * Best of – same as for the above "From the editors", not enough members atm.
 * Best quote – this can be included within the issue theme or a "Best of" article (see above). (Agree)
 * Best picture – same as the above. (Agree)
 * Did you know... – same as the above. (We have DYKs in the WikiProject main page, (and also quotes, pictures, and themes) @Portal:U2, and here in the Outreach department.)
 * (Agree)
 * News and notes – I like the idea of closing the nl with this (including the references section, now "Notes"), as the last section before the nl footer, but I also like "WikiProject report" as the very last article/section.... (where this news and notes will come from? very poor section atm)
 * (I have no idea, give me some time so I can think about it')
 * U2 news – within the above section "News and notes" or on the right side of other articles.
 * Project news – same as the above or within "WikiProject report". (News and Notes)
 * In the media – Will we be featured on the media? :D Yes... but... in "very very bad crime news" (^_______^)
 * (Sorry, it is frustrating when I don't get jokes. Do you mean us memebers of the WikiProject, in the media (tv and so)?)
 * Yes, WPU2 in general. WPU2NL follows the structure of The Signpost. See its current issue or search its Archives. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 07:58, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Recent research – Which one? The next research will be conducted in Apr 1/Feb 30 2114 :D It's unlikely to be done.
 * (I don't understand quite well this)
 * Irregular articles – sometimes or rarely lol
 * (Can you please give me an example of an irregular article?)
 * All articles that do no belong to other sections. For example an opinion piece.
 * WikiProject report – Tasks, to-do list, articles allerts and tools, statistics, logs, reports, new members and their interviews (why-tf did you join and what do you wanna do for WP:U2?) and etcetera.
 * (Love the why-tf part. Totally agree)

Are there more songs by U2 about XMas, other than the 1984 and 1994 Band Aid? –p joe f (talk • contribs) 00:50, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

I don't know Achtung Baby very well and its deluxe edition even less, but if it is your favourite album...! Well, it's a long stroy to tell... I was writing a novel about the end of the world and the plot was completed, when one of my favourite film directors (especially for his poetical Der Himmel über Berlin (The Heaven/Sky Over Berlin, also known as Wings of Desire) released Until the End of the World in 1991. I then stopped to write the book, but also to watch Wim Wenders and —in part— to listen to U2) P.S.: Der Himmel über Berlin was written by Wim Wenders together with Avant-Garde novelist and playwright Peter Handke. And here is a short passage from the intro of the film:

 * (^_______^) Okay, here we go...

Many super great authors (poets and writers) wrote about places that they didn't know. Think to the Odyssey and the Iliad both attributed to Homer, the Bible by various authors lol, the Aeneid by Publius Vergilius Maro, the Divine Comedy by Dante, many of Shakespeare's plays (comedies and tragedies, but also other works) are set in different places from Britain (The Merchant of Venice, Pericles, Prince of Tyre, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Romeo and Juliet, Coriolanus, Titus Andronicus, Timon of Athens, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Troilus and Cressida, Othello, Antony and Cleopatra, Othello, just to name a few :D). Yes, Jules Verne and his Voyages Extraordinaires series, but also Italian writers Emilio Salgari, who described Malaysia in his two series the Sandokan and The Tigers of Malaysia and the The Black Corsair without moving from Turin (Italy), and Edmondo De Amicis, also from Turin, in his tale From the Apennines to the Andes. This is what comes to my mind now, but I'm sure that there are many other good examples. And, this also means that you can write about every existing and non-existing places, as you like it. So the question is: how they wrote about places that they didn't know (except for fictional places, of course)? I think that they went to ask other people (most pobably sailors/seamen) abuot those places, and read everything there was about them. So you can start from Wikipedia (the best starting point ever created), and the internet, books, mass-media, films, and etcetera to acquire the necessary knowledge about the facts and places you're telling. Another chance is to move your story into the future, so maybe in a hundred years you will appear as a Sibyl, a seer/clairvoyant, a soothsayer, or a prophet, but plz not as a doomsayer. :D In summary: 1. read and collect info about it; 2. move your story into the future; but there was a third point that I can't recollect. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 19:06, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Do you want to change the image for XMas? I searched Wikipedia for a slide show but I have not found anything yet.

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:34, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Teach me SVG 2013-11-23
Hey Pjoef, remember me? I recently uploaded an SVG - File:T-series-logo.svg but its not perfect I mean its not scalable. I traced it using Inkspace bitmap tracer and saved a plain svg.  Sohambanerjee1998  10:44, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Sohambanerjee1998, hope you are well. I think you could remove the JPEG image from the SVG, but I also think that for its use on T-Series' article and being a copyrighted logo it goes well as it is. Well done anyway! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 09:46, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh you could call me Soham, BTW if it was'n't a logo how would I convert it in inkspace? I have two problems -


 * 1) While opening a image it gives me two options which one should I use?
 * Embed (results in larger SVF Files)
 * Link (Link references a file outside this SVG document and all files must me moved together).


 * 1) How should I save the file?
 * As an Inkscape SVG?
 * As an Plain SVG?
 * Compressed versions of the above two (.svgz)?

Now these are two of my specific queries.  Sohambanerjee1998  09:55, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Soham, all of the above, in general, work fine. Inkscape and Plain SVG are about the same format. The Inkscape SVG introuces a few extra commands, so if you are not using them then it is not necessary to save a file as Inkscape SVG (for the supplementary commands and the differences between these two formats see this page at the Inkscape Wiki). When I use Inkscape, I usually save in the default format (Inkscape) as long as I'm working on a file/draft, and as Plain SVG when I've completed the work. SVGZ files are compressed SVG, and I don't know if this format is supported on Wikipedia. About the use of SVG files on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, I suggest you to read: SVG help and commons:Help:SVG. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 10:31, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay thanks. .  Sohambanerjee1998  10:32, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Just joining U2 WikiProject - Any suggestions on where to begin?
Hi there! I am currently taking a WikiPedia based college class, and we were assigned to join a substantial WikiProject. I love U2, and thought this would be a fun one to work on. Any suggestions on where to start contributing? I've already done a bit of supplementing to early song articles. C meindl (talk) 16:00, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello Cameron and thank you for joining our WikiProject. Here are some suggestions:
 * WikiProject U2/to do – a list of improvements suggested for U2 related articles, and WikiProject and Portal pages.
 * WikiProject U2/Assessment – the assessment department of WikiProject U2.
 * Cleanup Listing – a bot generated list of cleanup listings for WikiProject U2. This list shows all articles related to U2 that are marked for cleanup of various genres (references and citations, styles and formatting, contents violations or sizes [too big/too short], and etcetera).
 * Portal peer review/U2/archive1 – a review for improving Portal:U2. Note: a WikipediA Portal and its pages are outside the Wikipedia main namespace.
 * Check out the Manual of Style and, in particular, Manual of Style/Music, WikiProject Albums/Album article style guide, and WikiProject Songs (its guidelines section). These are guides about style, usage, and formatting of Wikipedia articles.
 * Check out the discussion page for the article that you intend to edit. It sometimes contains some helpful suggestions on how to improve the article itself.
 * Use a Sandbox for testing and experimenting with wiki syntax and in case you intend to write an entire new section (or rewriting an existing one). Just create your own sandbox in your usersapce (eg: User:C meindl/Sandbox [note: it's a red link because the page does not exist at the moment.]) and when it is ready for the main namespace (The Encyclopædia), copy (or cut) and paste it into the proper article within the main namespace.
 * Some great tools and templates:
 * WebReflinks - WebReflinks with citeweb=on
 * Reflinks - Edits bare references - adds title/dates etc. to bare references
 * Checklinks - Edit and repair external links
 * Dab solver - Quickly resolve ambiguous links.
 * Peer reviewer - Provides hints and suggestion to improving articles.
 * Find sources
 * Find sources 2
 * Find sources 3
 * Check out Featured articles (FA) to see some very good examples of the best articles on the English Wikipedia, and also Category:FA-Class Album articles (for albums), Category:FA-Class song articles (for songs), Category:FA-Class U2 articles, and Category:Top-importance U2 articles.

May 2014 disambig contest: let's do it again!
Greetings fellow disambiguator! Remember back in February when we made history by clearing the board for the first time ever, for the monthly disambiguation contest? Let's do it again in May! I personally will be aiming to lead the board next month, but for anyone who thinks they can put in a better effort, I will give a $10 Amazon gift card to any editor who scores more disambiguation points in May. Also, I will be setting up a one-day contest later in the month, and will try to set up more prizes and other ways to make this a fun and productive month.

A Motto Barnstar for you

 * Thank you so very much, TheQ Editor. I would like to work more for MOTD and have a full schedule for, at least, a couple of weeks in advance. Quite frankly, the situation is not good enough and, in recent months, we are in a continuous state of emergency. Once again thank you for The MOTD Barnstar, it was very, very much appreciated. Best wishes and happy editing. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 09:09, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Kannada films of the 1950s, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bhakta Prahlada (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

U2 Newsletter (Issue X)
I would be glad to work in a newsletter for December, and gather all info about U2´s new album and next tour. I wont be around wikipedia much, but I might help from time to time. Greetings... <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  13:40, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi L., I hope all is fine with you. The draft of the U2 Newsletter is at the same point where we have left it, which coincides with the time when you left WikiPeida in Novenber-December 2013. There are 11 subscribers (including me and you) for the delivering. Sorry, but I think that at this moment it will be just too much effort for too little. You know they wrote "With or Without You" in 1987 for The Joshua Tree album, but I'm really thinking it was written for you (sung by WikiProject U2; "it can't live without you" :D). If you have any further suggestions about this, please let me know as soon as possible. All the very best. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 15:00, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi P, I will think about something that doesnt require so much effort but worth the little effort we put into it. I am excited about the new album. It is really amazing.
 * P.S. Haha, I wish they had written that song for me.
 * I´m doing good. Thanks for asking
 * All the best to you too :D <span style="font-family:'Arial',cursive"> Miss Bono  [hello, hello!]  17:00, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, thank you! Also, take a look at the draft and tell me what you think. It would be great to interview the main authors/editors of the article and ask (a few questions) about its development. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 12:47, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
