Royal Records
Hello. Are you a representative of Royal Records? If not, may I ask what your username means? --Geniac (talk) 03:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I had a label called Royal Records International once, yes. But it was disbanded. It was a hobby, and the record companies were behaving unfair towards me. So I gave it up. But I have credit for "Jesus Christ Superstar" (Swedish) and "Geh' mit Gott" (Agnetha Fältskog; German Songs) under licence. Nobody else released this on CD.

Now I support Vanilla Ninja. And I co-operate with all people working for them in order to promote them world-wide.


 * Thank you for clarifying that. What do you mean by "co-operating with people working for them in order to promote them"? Please see Conflict of interest. --Geniac (talk) 15:26, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well that means that they have a Chilean promoter, and I do some work for him, and help him keeping the Wikipedia file up to date, etc. Taking care of fans that they find it interesting and so on, and all without getting or asking money for that. I have no conflict of interest what soever, and I will not make Wikipedia a commercial platform, if you mean this, and as you can see in the article yourself.


 * Thank you for being open about your (tenuous) connection to Vanilla Ninja. I just wanted to make sure that your username didn't match the name of a real (non-disbanded) record label. When you make edits intending to keep an article up to date, please make sure to include references for information you add. --Geniac (talk) 18:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:RecivingTheSeagull.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:RecivingTheSeagull.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 20:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Mind you I am the Admin of VN-LINN, the International Vanilla Ninja Fanclub. I am obeying any copyright. Thanks for understanding. Could you help me with this tagging? So that I do not make a mistake?
 * I have the right to use this official press photo (by Hector Faune, Santiago de Chile, Chile), and it is not forbidden to use this at Wikipedia. Besides, THIS is a recent photo, the other one was 3 years old.

Proposed new policy
As a recent contributor to Deaths in 2009, you may be able to help decide on a proposed new policy. It is proposed that:
 * A month should be deleted from the "Deaths in [CURRENT YEAR]" page ONE WEEK after the month ends.
 * A month should be deleted from the "Deaths in [CURRENT YEAR]" page ONE WEEK after the month ends.

Please opine at Talk:Deaths_in_2009. Don't just say or Also state your reasons and participate in the discussion. Michael Hardy (talk) 16:31, 2 March 2009 (UTC) Keep as it is now. There are many deaths in one month, and the list would become quite long. I go the the previous month to see what happened there, as I know where to find it...
 * Support.
 * Oppose.
 * Oppose

Deaths in 2009
Per this diff, please don't change his nationality to British from Welsh, as his family have made it quite plain that he identified as Welsh. Thanks. Rodhull andemu  21:41, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

your AFD comment
You posted a comment to Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Taylor Mitchell, but it should have probably been on the main page (Articles for deletion/Taylor Mitchell). Do you want to move it? If so, make sure to sign your post. If not, let me know and I'll move it for you. tedder (talk) 00:53, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi... well I have just found the right button...

It is nice to be able to contribute... but sometimes it is hard to find the right "edit" button. Thanks anyway!!

Recent death tag
The template Recent death should only be used when many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) are editing the article on the same day. It shouldn't be used merely to tag the article of a recently deceased person. - Crosbiesmith (talk) 20:37, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * OK. But then a question: would it then not be good to have a time stamp with regard to the latest change? I mean that would be a nice feature, using UTC. It is not visible for "normal" users when opening the article or when editing it.

August 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Deaths in 2010. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

 * I have stated that it was SPAM. The link given as source for information led to nothing. And so it was intention to remove a joke-content.

Yes, excuse me, I have repaired the link and added the country, is it ok now? WP:SPAM is something else though, no worries, thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 16:34, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

The use of those brackets ... has a special sense here.
 * No, it is not. There are 144 examples on this page. It is nice that you try to form a sentence. But this is a list. And please always test the link you give. Thanks!

Thanks
Thanks for cleaning up my bad reference, I pasted the wrong URL. Regards, WWGB (talk) 12:08, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Ancestry
The Frisian ethnic group has very unique and distinctive names that are easily recognized. Simon Heere Heeresma carries such a name. This clearly indicates Frisian ancestry, as is confirmed by several sources. Polozooza (talk) 08:45, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes I know. I lived in the Netherlands for 8 years. But Frisian is not a nationality. Names like Dijkstra, Veenstra etc. all are Frisian. But Frisia is one of the 12 provinces of the Netherlands. But also in Germany, there are Frisians.


 * Indeed it is not an official nationality but the Frisians are an officialy recognized ethnic minority group and there language has the same official status, as presented to them by the EU. Polozooza (talk) 10:13, 29 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I am not arguing about that. I am German, I live in Estonia... And here also are minority language groups. Estonia has 3 languages (not dialects) etc. But in my correction, I referred to the use of Frisian-Dutch as a denonym. Even in the south of the Netherlands, there are Dutch people with Frisian names... My ex-neighbours for example. It is nice to have some old traditions. And regions that do not give up their identities, despite of being an integral part of a country.

Disambiguation link notification for June 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Genaro García, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chihuahua (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Reverting edits in Deaths in 2023, and fact-checking
Hey, please carry out deeper research before you revert edits in the Deaths in 2023 list (both of the subject and of the edit history of the list, during which latter search you would have found a full summary relating to my earlier edit there). Checking the article for Luxembourg shows you that the demonyms for someone originating from that country can be either Luxembourgers or Luxembourgish. (The word Luxembourgian does not exist and is a confection.) As 'Luxembourgers' relates to citizens of Luxembourg in the singular, it must be Luxembourgish. Thanks. Ref (chew) (do) 13:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh, sorry! You are right!
 * But then the Wikipedia categories:
 * Luxembourgian academics
 * Luxembourgian journalists
 * which exist are wrong, are they not? Royalrec (talk) 13:34, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * They are indeed. Do you expect me to edit everything within that theme? I think not. Let someone else realise and make the changes. By the way, please use my talk page for commenting rather than my personal user page . Thanks. Ref (chew) (do) 08:07, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Pay attention
I don't know who you think you are, but you need to learn to pay attention. You came to my talk page, claiming I am dead because I hadn't put anything on the talk page since 2018. Do you even know how to look at edit history? I clearly had edited the page in June 2023. Or do you know how to look at a users contribution history? My last WP edit was just 2 days before. On top of that, you go to an article and make the same comment on that talk page. Even if I had passed, it wouldn't change the status of the page, so your comment was not only false, it was not needed. Try paying attention next time. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:42, 23 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi! No - I have just asked. With no bad intentions. I have written to somebody once who died of a heart attack - as I learned later. I am just a regular user who contributes from time to time. I am really happy to hear from you! Thanks a lot! Royalrec (talk) 13:48, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You didn't ask, you made the statement "The last person to modify the page is dead". Checking the contribution history would have taken less time than spreading false information. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:43, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

French domains of the Holy Land
Do you wish to have French domains of the Holy Land moved to draftspace while it is under construction so you have more time to work on it? Chaotic Enby  (talk · contribs) 23:23, 14 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Is time limited? I did not know that. I have to prepare the article offline and check everything and then I put it on the page - that is the plan. Royalrec (talk) 23:57, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Best to have it as a draft while you're constructing it, usually the article is created in mainspace once there's enough stuff to put on the page, not the opposite. Chaotic Enby   (talk · contribs) 00:22, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to French domains of the Holy Land. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and it is empty. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
