Quotes around song titles
Hey Slabba. I've seen that you've made some edits over at Powderfinger and they're all really good, but oen of the general things that the pages do is put song titles into quotation marks (which I noticed you removed) and album titles in italics. It's actually a bit of a rule (you can read the guidelines at WP:MOS which is Wikipedia's Manual of Style). Personally, I think it looks a bit wanky, but in feeping with general improvement and alignment with the standardisation here, I'm going to put the quotes back in. Welcome to our wikiproject. -- linca linca  09:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey Linca, yeah not a problem, it does seem like a strange standard though :-) I'll go through the MOS when I've got some free time. I've been pretty busy lately so I'll try and contribute to the project when I can. Slabba 23:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Powderfinger Collaboration
You may have noticed that the project recently began its first collaboration, and this is just a friendly reminder that we would love your help in bringing Dream Days at the Hotel Existence to the highest possible standard. Hope to see some great editing! G1 gg  y  !  01:20, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Since I can't email you....
Hey Slabba. I was trying to email you to ask if you have any IM programs (MSN, Google Talk, etc.)...I'm bored, and in the mood for a chat. But you've disabled email, so I thought I'd ask here. So, yeah, if you like, you can reply on my talk page. Happy editing! G1 gg  y  !  Review me! 04:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you kidding? Your edits are awesomely useful!  Keep up the good work =D  G1  gg  y  !  Review me! 03:48, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but at least now we know what we have to do to get it up there. Are you going to be working on it now, or do you want to help remove Category:Powderfinger from all of the images in that category (since they should all go in PF albums/songs only).  G1  gg  y  !

Reference formatting
Hey Slabba. You have to be the king of formatting refs to be WP:MOS compliant. I was wondering if you could have a look over Crowded House for me, when you have a chance, and fact tag anything you think would need references and also standardise any formatting of references already there? I'd really appreciate it, as references seem to be the biggest thing stopping it from getting to GA (heck, even FA, since it's almost there, really). Thanks mate! -- linca linca  11:47, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey Linca, I'll gladly help out with formatting the refs, but I may not get a chance any time soon. I'm a bit busy at the moment with some other stuff, but when I get some spare time I'll give it a crack.  Also cheers for the 'king' comment :-) Slabba 23:31, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks man! No rush, but when you have a few free moments, it'd be great if you could see if you can reference it, even if it's piece by piece. As a plan of attack, if you fact tag everything you see that needs references, I'll provide the references and then once I've done that, if you could then format the refs for consistency, that'd be great! Does that sound feasible? -- linca linca  23:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah that sounds like a good plan, it would save doubling up. Slabba 02:01, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh mighty king, speaking of referencing, AndyZ's peer reviewer (User:AndyZ/peerreviewer) autoformats ref made using external links, and changes them to cite web. Might come in handy ;) (This is Giggy btw.). Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 08:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Process This
I'm leaning towards removing the prod and going to afd, but I think it'll be deleted there too. What're your thoughts? Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 02:30, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, we should have a These Days link in the template, and personally I don't see the problem with having links to live albums. You wanna revert, or will I? Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 03:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * RAWR, OK. Will do, then I'll go hide from him and edit my next GA :) Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 03:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I saw those, and I tend to agree. Let them go... Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 03:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * by the way, since you're king of MOS, could you possibly take a look at Young Modern and point out any really major issues. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 04:01, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm doing that now, thanks heaps. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 04:24, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

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

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
