May I suggest that you create a user page, even if it is just a simple hello? It makes others take you more seriously because the red link to your page stands out so much.--naryathegreat | (talk) 04:01, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Your welcome. I'm glad you've decided to stay and help out. By the way, if you'll notice, user pages are in the form of User:Name -- This means that Naryathegreat is a red link to a blank page. You have to type User:Naryathegreat to get the link to the page. You can also do Naryathegreat. When you format any link in this way, place the real page name before the | and what you want the link to say after it. For instance, click here to find out a lot more about this. Obviously the page is not named "here" what I wrote was here. For links in a namespace (the prior link is in the "Wikipedia" namespace, or the part before the colon). If I wanted to link to my user page, I could use a little trick called piping. If all I want to do is get rid of the namespace, in this case User:, then I can type User:Naryathegreat, and the software automatically fills in the part after the | with Naryathegreat. This is a cool trick it took me a long time to learn. I hope it helps you. I told you all this because of the link of your user page, which is "broken". I would fix it, but it's taboo on Wikipedia to touch other people's user pages. Feel free to contact me with any questions.--naryathegreat | (talk) 02:50, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

Military Bands
I'm trying to find some sources for this. Also, you seem to have some knowledge about bands and band music. I've worked a lot on the Turkish crescent article, and have become a bit of an expert on the (pretty obscure) subject. I'm looking for some additional sources on it, especially about its non-musical role as a symbol of conquest, and about its use in Sousa's Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. If you happen to have any information on this stuff, please do let me know. Lou Sander (talk) 13:15, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
