What Goes Around Video Summary

thanks for letting me know i need to organize it better, but you really need to read it all and see that it is in a wikipedia manner and that is so long due to fact of the video being NINE MINUTES long. I will revise it though but its not outta control as you may have suggested. -- Gregxscene 02:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Need people with an opinion

Hey there. I noticed that in the past, you have participated in a discussion about Filmoraphies and lists of works in general here. There is now a RfC discussing this and more aspects here. It would be nice if you took a look and gave your comments on those matters. Thank you. theroachman 11:09, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Prince and biting newcomers

Hi. First off, let me say that I appreciate all the hard work that you have done (especially with reverting unsourced material from the Billboard-associated pages every Wednesday evening). However, please use caution when deleting people's hard work, as a simple revert can give the message, "Your addition is not good enough, get lost." (Not that I'm implying that this is/was ever your intention.) Now, regarding the Prince article. Looking at the history, it is evident that User:Lexlutha was trying to add to the article, not destroy it, but didnt know how to properly format the sources. Instead of reverting all his additions, the least you could have done is to show him how to properly format the information, or better yet, simply do him the favor of personally formatting the source. It would save a lot of time, and it also won't give new, inexperienced uers the feeling that their work is no good. Again, I appreicate your hard work, but hope that you'll take what I've said into consideration. Thank you. Orane (talk • cont.) 06:03, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I guess it's just a simple misunderstanding then. And as I said, don't worry, I know you do good work. Cheers. Orane (talk • cont.) 06:30, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

hey

im guessing you edit a lot of music pages

i find something annoying in music wikipedia pages, which is unofficial remixes that are editted by ameteur musicians attempting to recieve exposure, therefore adding themselves to music pages with "remixes" which are not official remixes. That is what i delete, that is not vandalism - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LightSpeed1 (talk • contribs) 18 Feb. 2007 22:49 UTC.

Your insistence that Shakespears Sister was a duo is inaccurate.

Since writing my first Shakespears Sister biography in 1998, I have been priviliged to be-friend Siobhan Fahey having become involved in the curation, construction and maintenance of her official website siobhanfahey.com. As a result I have gained addditional knowledge of the history of Shakespears Sister. Of course, in reversal, it could be said that I have provided Siobhan with knowledge of Shakespears Sister (back catalogue, release dates, chart positions etc) and all the things that an avid fan "would" know. However, I have also gained much inside information that a fan wouldn't necessarily know. Of course, as Shakespears Sister was seen as a duo and having gained additional knowledge from only one member, critics might add that an biography written with one member's "inside" information may result in the biography becoming bias. The fact is that Shakespears Sister was formed by Siobhan Fahey and it was in fact for only one song "Stay" that the group was a duo. Whilst it could be argued that Marcella made an essential contribution to Shakespears Sister's first UK hit "You're History", if one were to look at her overall contribution to the debut Shakespears Sister album and indeed direction of Shakespears Sister it would not meet the criterion of being termed a duo. Alas, my biography will be based on my knowledge of Shakespears Sister's career backed by information found in magazine, newspaper, television and personal interviews. It could be said that much of what is wrote in such media could be, by its very nature inaccurate. However, when using such sources in correlation with one another it is easy to spot inaccuracies (Siobhan's birthdate being one)on more than one occassion.

Dean Lucas - geocities.com/djohnl_2000/ and siobhanfahey.com. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.47.31.5 (talk) 06:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

Ummm OK, I really don't know what you're trying to convey here, but the only objection I really had to some of the changes made to that article (which occurred months ago at this point) was the complete removal of all references to Marcella Detroit. Regardless of what her official status was in the band during whatever phase or album, she did make contributions to the band, performed right up front with Siobhan during live performances and appeared in the videos and on album/single covers. I don't know the behind-the-scenes politics, but to delete Detroit from the article completely shows a bias in my opinion. - eo 13:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Mims

Stop changing Mims to direct to a disambiguous page. Mims the rapper is more well-known than some city in Florida and Mims, Florida links from his article. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.2.165.38 (talk • contribs) 10:54, 1 March 2007.

Um, okay, it isn't just my personal assessment that Mims the rapper is more well-known than Mims, Florida. He had a number one hit on the Hot 100. Mims, Florida is some stupid city in Florida. On top of that, both link to each other. I'm really sure when someone wants information on Mims, the hot 100 number 1 artist this week, they are in reality interested about the city in Florida. It all makes sense now, or maybe people are just stupid. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.165.38 (talk • contribs) 11:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and since you feel there needs to be disambiguation pages for every article, I will make sure to change all of them for you. Like "No Doubt" directs to the band, but perhaps the band isn't so well known! Perhaps albums by other bands are more popular and so we shall fix that. Rihanna links to Rihanna, but maybe the user meant Rhianna! And we need a disambiguation page for that! Jennifer Lopez links to Jennifer Lopez, but maybe the user meant the meterologist! So we better create a disambiguation page for there too! Oh all these examples, yet Mims and Mims, Florida need a disambiguation page.. it all makes so much sense! I'll get to work on creating all these disambiguation pages though just for you. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.165.38 (talk • contribs) 11:29, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

So what is your argument towards Jennifer Lopez the singer and Jennifer Lopez the meterologist? How do we know for sure the metereologist is less well-known than the singer, huh!? - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.165.38 (talk • contribs) 11:35, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm just saying, he is more well-known than a city in Florida, and his popularity is growing. Why is THAT so hard to understand? Besides that point wasn't to relate him to Jennifer Lopez, it was to provide an example of a name where a disambiguation page doesn't exist. Jennifer Lopez the singer is to the meteorologist as Mims is to the city. They are both more well-known respectively. DUR? - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.165.38 (talk • contribs) 14:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't mean to be insulting, it is just that you rush into fixing a change someone has made without considering their point of view, and if some step needs to be taken (such as having the Mims (rapper) page moved to Mims) then you should explain that to the person without immediately reverting what they have done. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.165.38 (talk • contribs) 18:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm sorry if I was rude. It just happens all too often that any changes I make are undone. I guess if they go against policy than that should happen, but it does get frustrating. I really appreciate your contacting an admin for me! I'm glad this was resolved, and again I apologize. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.165.38 (talk • contribs) 21:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Here we go 'round the Mimsy-grove

I performed the move. The disambiguation/redirect history is buried in the deleted edits. If that page gets turned back into a disambig or a redirect, they should technically be undeleted. Jkelly 23:36, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Your turn -- Fall Out Boy favour

Hi. I have a bunch of images of Fall Out Boy to upload, but don't which band member is which. Can you help me identify them? The first is at commons:Image:Fall Out Boy 2006 1.jpg, but there are a lot more, including nice closeups of members like this one and this one. Can you help me out here? Jkelly 00:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I think that I've figured this out. Jkelly 21:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

It took me a while with Google images, but I'm pretty confident I identified them correctly. At least the drummer is always easy. Thanks anyway. Jkelly 22:01, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Hot 100 running total

Hi Eric

You replied very quickly to my correction! I was still putting an explanation and link on the talk page when your message appeared. Let me know what you think. -- Phildav76 19:33, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
