Hi Antandrus,
You recently showed some interest with the user message and template harmonistion program. We will be starting the actual changes, we hope within the next week. But prior to that, what we would like from yourself is instead of an evening of vandal fighting or patrolling recent changes, you monitor the RC page for those actually doing the reverts and leaving user page messages. This may involve red wine as you see fit, I'll be quaffing a glass or two for certain this evening. We would like to make as many people aware of the fact that the templates they use are going to change. If you could seek out the RCP's and Cut n Paste the following message to their talk page that would be appreciated, or reworded as you see fit. Cheers. Khukri ( talk . contribs) 09:27, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
==Upcoming template changes==
Hi, I've just noticed that you recently left a templated userpage message. I'm just bringing to your attention that the format and context of these templates will be shortly changing. It is recommended that you visit [[WP:UW|WikiProject user warnings]] and harmonisation discussion [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_user_warnings/templates|pages]] to find out how these changes could affect the templates you use. We also would appreciate any insights or thoughts you may have on the subject. Thanks for your understanding. Best regards ~~~~
Ok, my grandmother just sent me Songs from the Labyrinth. It's really...weird. It's almost not terrible. I mean, I think it might not be terrible. Then again, it might be. The lutenist has his moments, but I'm really opposed to the multi-tracking of Sting's voice in stuff like "Fine knacks for ladies", it's really just creepy sounding. I don't really understand that. Do people really think they are so good that they need to sing every part? Why? I also don't understand the spoken bits. Paul Hillier does that on some of his recordings as well. I guess they're supposed to give a feeling of mileu... but once again it just sounds to me like someone likes to hear themself too much. Sting's vowels are really strange, I can't quite put my finger on it. I guess part of it is that he lengthens all the diphthongs and uses reflexive rrrrs. Basically, I really do think Dowland's music was meant for singers whose voices were singer-ly, although it's hard to know what that really meant at the time, but Sting definitely sounds like he's been smoking a few packs of cigarettes. I'm also not particularly excited by his text interpretation, although I can imagine a lot worse. Really, it's just weird. Weird that he did it, weird that my grandmother sent it to me, and weird that I'm listening to it. I'm not hating it as much as I expected though, although I did hope for a little more original text interpretation or something.
hm, sorry for the stream-of-consciousness thing on your talk page, I thought you might be interested though. Mak (talk) 22:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, I believe the name of the song is properly "Flow, my tears, fall from your springs", but "Lachrimae" is a book he published later, as well as a number of instrumental pieces based on "Flow, my tears". I'll put up a link if I can convert the recording and upload it. I'll do it here rather than on commons so I can delete it if necessary :P Mak (talk) 17:33, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
How's that? Mak (talk) 18:34, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh! It doesn't have any categories at the moment. Argh. And of course all of the categories are based on pop music, rather than art music, and the WikiProject song people are probably going to give me grief anyway, and want to put an infobox on it. Ok, I'm really whiny today. If a good category occurs to you, stick it in there. I'm going to try to make sense of them now. Mak (talk) 01:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to write an article on the Santa Barbara courthouse. "The Courthouse has been called the most beautiful government building in America. Designed by William Mooser III, the Spanish-Moorish style building was completed in 1929, after the 1925 earthquake ruined much of the city. It occupies a square block in downtown Santa Barbara." Its one of the most important examples of California Spanish Moorish design. SB Courthouse Do you have any more photos of it which you could upload?

Hello! I made a comment on the Philippine talk page, but I've thought of re-posting it here...anyway, I would just like to ask why "Goldilocks" was removed in the section about Filipino culture. There is a real Goldilocks fastfood/bakeshop chain here in the Philippines (just like Jollibee, Greenwich and Chowking), and it's found in most major cities in the Philippines. It also has television commercials and print ads in major TV stations and serial publications. And most children's party here in the Philippines usually have cakes that were ordered from Goldilocks. If an article (even if only a stub) needs to be created for this, I'll be happy to start researching about Goldilocks. --- Tito Pao 21:38, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

A number of socks appeared during the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brad Hines affair. I tagged them and made an evidence page. To me, they were obvious, however, the reviewing admin archived the evidence page with the note "This should be taken to WP:RFCU."
I am a little reluctant to take the case to RFCU because the top of the page asks "Does your request belong here? and gives guidelines for the answer:
I may have given too much evidence on the evidence page, or the admin may have been confused by my inclusion of a meatpuppet on the evidence page (unnecessarily because the account was blocked anyway) , or it may be that there are special reasons for RFCU that I don't understand in this case. I left this note with the reviewing admin, but have not heard back, and he/she seems to be off line. My question is, how I should proceed. Should I file RFCU? If I do take it to RFCU, which code shoud I use? Should I instead refile an evidence page with the "obviousness" highlighted and the one meatpuppet removed from the list? Could you just review the evidence and block? (For the executive summary of the case, see this note). Thanks for your advice and/or action in this matter. Sincerely, -- BostonMA talk 11:15, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

from Kartcrazy in reply to your message on my talk page
Hi, the information was passed to me by my friend who is a semi-retired historian. He would have made the entry for wikipedia himself but he isnt really the computer type of person. I added a basic version of everything he had found out about Heinz Oberlinger to wikipedia. Hopefully I can find the time to add some more detailed information soon.
My friend and other historians have found the information by piecing together old pieces of scripture he found on a dig near the battle site. His main find was a box, in which were letters to and from Heinz Oberlinger, well preserved considering how long ago it was, certainly able to be read from. On translation is gave a rough describtion of him, tall, strong etc. The letters mention several times his agreement with Arminius, although unfortunatly, from the letter he couldnt establish the exact time when the agreement was formed. It detailed his plans for the battle and a few tactics he might employ. Whether he carried those particular tactics out or not, will hopefully become apparent soon as more evidence is still being dicovered, however these things if researched properly do take time. His name, which admittedly I haven't seen written down yet, was also included in the letters. I made an anglicised version of his name spelt phonetically. That was probably an error on my part, maybe im not cut out to be a historian.
I would assume you are writing this as you cannot find any references to it in any historical books. My friend is currently writing his own book on the entire subject but heinz oberlinger was his most major find, as I believe no one has ever discovered any mention of him before! Certainly he is never mentioned in any of the books i've read. It's got us quite excited I can tell you, we won't stop talkoing about anything else lol! Of course if you find any refences to him can you please let me know asap as both of us are quite keen on finding out what really happened and whatever refences, no matter how small, may well fill in a gap in the puzzle.
I put the information on wikipedia as I felt that, as the book isnt really progressing that fast, I should make a heavily abriged version to let people know the basic facts now rather than waiting for the whole book to be published. And also, to be honest, I think more people would read it if it was on wikipedia I was thinking that I could slowly add more information to the page as we got it, maybe a section about the evidence we've found and a section on what we think might have happened and perhaps a section on what we know for certain.
Out of interest is it within the rules to put a link to how to buy the book when it is eventually published on the heinz oberlinger page?
Sorry i've seemed to have gone on for ages, glad to see you're interested in my friends findings. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kartcrazy ( talk • contribs).
Look, the research is currently being carried out, he is currently documenting the evidence. I wrote the jist of what I understood from my friends phone message. I now understand that is not in the rules as it is original research and isn't in writing yet. I origianally wrote it as an unlinked page as the information was still due to be verified and I could add to it at my own pace but I was asked to put a link in which i did. By doing this it released the information too early, obviously a mistake. However I do not appriciate being called a hoax! I do not just make things up to delibratly mislead people! I also do not appriciate being laughed at before you even know half of what you need to pass judgement! I know my friend has put a lot of work into this and to judge it before you even know the facts is unforgivable. I merely gave the information he has gathered so far. There are many explanations for the evidence being found, some are crazy and some more sensible, if what you are saying is true then perhaps our early theory is wrong or perhaps i mis-understood (more likely.) Possibly there was another battle near there and the two men were drawing paralels between the two battles. I dont't know, Im not a historian, my friend is! When he knows for sure I'll tell you. Translating old languages is very hard indeed! He's sending it to a proper expert soon.
I will definitely inform you when my friends book is going to be published! Kartcrazy (talk)

Hi Antandrus,
You recently showed some interest with the user message and template harmonistion program. We will be starting the actual changes, we hope within the next week. But prior to that, what we would like from yourself is instead of an evening of vandal fighting or patrolling recent changes, you monitor the RC page for those actually doing the reverts and leaving user page messages. This may involve red wine as you see fit, I'll be quaffing a glass or two for certain this evening. We would like to make as many people aware of the fact that the templates they use are going to change. If you could seek out the RCP's and Cut n Paste the following message to their talk page that would be appreciated, or reworded as you see fit. Cheers. Khukri ( talk . contribs) 09:27, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
==Upcoming template changes==
Hi, I've just noticed that you recently left a templated userpage message. I'm just bringing to your attention that the format and context of these templates will be shortly changing. It is recommended that you visit [[WP:UW|WikiProject user warnings]] and harmonisation discussion [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_user_warnings/templates|pages]] to find out how these changes could affect the templates you use. We also would appreciate any insights or thoughts you may have on the subject. Thanks for your understanding. Best regards ~~~~
Ok, my grandmother just sent me Songs from the Labyrinth. It's really...weird. It's almost not terrible. I mean, I think it might not be terrible. Then again, it might be. The lutenist has his moments, but I'm really opposed to the multi-tracking of Sting's voice in stuff like "Fine knacks for ladies", it's really just creepy sounding. I don't really understand that. Do people really think they are so good that they need to sing every part? Why? I also don't understand the spoken bits. Paul Hillier does that on some of his recordings as well. I guess they're supposed to give a feeling of mileu... but once again it just sounds to me like someone likes to hear themself too much. Sting's vowels are really strange, I can't quite put my finger on it. I guess part of it is that he lengthens all the diphthongs and uses reflexive rrrrs. Basically, I really do think Dowland's music was meant for singers whose voices were singer-ly, although it's hard to know what that really meant at the time, but Sting definitely sounds like he's been smoking a few packs of cigarettes. I'm also not particularly excited by his text interpretation, although I can imagine a lot worse. Really, it's just weird. Weird that he did it, weird that my grandmother sent it to me, and weird that I'm listening to it. I'm not hating it as much as I expected though, although I did hope for a little more original text interpretation or something.
hm, sorry for the stream-of-consciousness thing on your talk page, I thought you might be interested though. Mak (talk) 22:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, I believe the name of the song is properly "Flow, my tears, fall from your springs", but "Lachrimae" is a book he published later, as well as a number of instrumental pieces based on "Flow, my tears". I'll put up a link if I can convert the recording and upload it. I'll do it here rather than on commons so I can delete it if necessary :P Mak (talk) 17:33, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh! It doesn't have any categories at the moment. Argh. And of course all of the categories are based on pop music, rather than art music, and the WikiProject song people are probably going to give me grief anyway, and want to put an infobox on it. Ok, I'm really whiny today. If a good category occurs to you, stick it in there. I'm going to try to make sense of them now. Mak (talk) 01:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to write an article on the Santa Barbara courthouse. "The Courthouse has been called the most beautiful government building in America.

Hello! I made a comment on the Philippine talk page, but I've thought of re-posting it here...anyway, I would just like to ask why "Goldilocks" was removed in the section about Filipino culture. There is a real Goldilocks fastfood/bakeshop chain here in the Philippines (just like Jollibee, Greenwich and Chowking), and it's found in most major cities in the Philippines. It also has television commercials and print ads in major TV stations and serial publications. And most children's party here in the Philippines usually have cakes that were ordered from Goldilocks. If an article (even if only a stub) needs to be created for this, I'll be happy to start researching about Goldilocks. --- Tito Pao 21:38, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

A number of socks appeared during the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brad Hines affair. I tagged them and made an evidence page. To me, they were obvious, however, the reviewing admin archived the evidence page with the note "This should be taken to WP:RFCU."
I am a little reluctant to take the case to RFCU because the top of the page asks "Does your request belong here? and gives guidelines for the answer:
I may have given too much evidence on the evidence page, or the admin may have been confused by my inclusion of a meatpuppet on the evidence page (unnecessarily because the account was blocked anyway) , or it may be that there are special reasons for RFCU that I don't understand in this case. I left this note with the reviewing admin, but have not heard back, and he/she seems to be off line. My question is, how I should proceed. Should I file RFCU? If I do take it to RFCU, which code shoud I use? Should I instead refile an evidence page with the "obviousness" highlighted and the one meatpuppet removed from the list? Could you just review the evidence and block? (For the executive summary of the case, see this note). Thanks for your advice and/or action in this matter. Sincerely, -- BostonMA talk 11:15, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

from Kartcrazy in reply to your message on my talk page
Hi, the information was passed to me by my friend who is a semi-retired historian. He would have made the entry for wikipedia himself but he isnt really the computer type of person. I added a basic version of everything he had found out about Heinz Oberlinger to wikipedia. Hopefully I can find the time to add some more detailed information soon.
My friend and other historians have found the information by piecing together old pieces of scripture he found on a dig near the battle site. His main find was a box, in which were letters to and from Heinz Oberlinger, well preserved considering how long ago it was, certainly able to be read from. On translation is gave a rough describtion of him, tall, strong etc. The letters mention several times his agreement with Arminius, although unfortunatly, from the letter he couldnt establish the exact time when the agreement was formed. It detailed his plans for the battle and a few tactics he might employ. Whether he carried those particular tactics out or not, will hopefully become apparent soon as more evidence is still being dicovered, however these things if researched properly do take time. His name, which admittedly I haven't seen written down yet, was also included in the letters. I made an anglicised version of his name spelt phonetically. That was probably an error on my part, maybe im not cut out to be a historian.
I would assume you are writing this as you cannot find any references to it in any historical books. My friend is currently writing his own book on the entire subject but heinz oberlinger was his most major find, as I believe no one has ever discovered any mention of him before! Certainly he is never mentioned in any of the books i've read. It's got us quite excited I can tell you, we won't stop talkoing about anything else lol! Of course if you find any refences to him can you please let me know asap as both of us are quite keen on finding out what really happened and whatever refences, no matter how small, may well fill in a gap in the puzzle.
I put the information on wikipedia as I felt that, as the book isnt really progressing that fast, I should make a heavily abriged version to let people know the basic facts now rather than waiting for the whole book to be published. And also, to be honest, I think more people would read it if it was on wikipedia I was thinking that I could slowly add more information to the page as we got it, maybe a section about the evidence we've found and a section on what we think might have happened and perhaps a section on what we know for certain.
Out of interest is it within the rules to put a link to how to buy the book when it is eventually published on the heinz oberlinger page?
Sorry i've seemed to have gone on for ages, glad to see you're interested in my friends findings. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kartcrazy ( talk • contribs).
Look, the research is currently being carried out, he is currently documenting the evidence. I wrote the jist of what I understood from my friends phone message. I now understand that is not in the rules as it is original research and isn't in writing yet. I origianally wrote it as an unlinked page as the information was still due to be verified and I could add to it at my own pace but I was asked to put a link in which i did. By doing this it released the information too early, obviously a mistake. However I do not appriciate being called a hoax! I do not just make things up to delibratly mislead people! I also do not appriciate being laughed at before you even know half of what you need to pass judgement! I know my friend has put a lot of work into this and to judge it before you even know the facts is unforgivable. I merely gave the information he has gathered so far. There are many explanations for the evidence being found, some are crazy and some more sensible, if what you are saying is true then perhaps our early theory is wrong or perhaps i mis-understood (more likely.) Possibly there was another battle near there and the two men were drawing paralels between the two battles. I dont't know, Im not a historian, my friend is! When he knows for sure I'll tell you. Translating old languages is very hard indeed! He's sending it to a proper expert soon.
I will definitely inform you when my friends book is going to be published! Kartcrazy (talk)

Just wanted to draw your attention to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of musical works in unusual time signatures, thought you might find it interesting. Chubbles1212 20:47, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
What do you mean by trolling? I don't see how you could have been thinking of me as trolling.-- Must...edit...wikipedia 00:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi there; User:Must...edit...wikipedia may not know what trolling is; he has, as far as I can see, only opened an account today. He has posted a question on his talk page; do you want to answer it?-- Anthony.bradbury 00:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi! Got three of the four days off, so I'm not complaining. Besides, I have a fun job.
I think I know who it is we're dealing with, here. I do believe that a block is warranted, know what I mean...? - Lucky 6.9 00:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting the uhhh... interesting picture on my user page. And for blocking the guy, too. =) -- Gogo Dodo 21:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps this might lighten the mood for future AfDs and re-naming debates. Pretty funny. Mak (talk) 01:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate your quick reversion of the vandalism to my user page. Too bad some people have nothing better to do with their time than foul up others' work. Anyway, thanks again. -- JFreeman (talk) 03:09, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, one of your user scripts uses the addLoadEvent( func )
function (see
[7]). This function will be removed from
MediaWiki:Common.js soon. Please modify your scripts to use addOnloadHook( func )
instead. —

I have proposed this article for deletion (if you care). -- Brianyoumans 07:19, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Did you see this Completely random user? I wonder what's up with that. I almost wonder if it's my baby brother or something. Mak (talk) 21:34, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
So... tempting... must... not... editorialize... "While Karamozov plays the archlute/theorbo quite nicely, Sting sounds like he's beating his with a dead fish," Mak (talk) 04:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't going to send thank-you cards, but the emotional impact of hitting WP:100 (and doing so unanimously!) changed my mind. So I appreciate your every confidence in me at RFA, and hope you'll let me know if I can do anything for you in the future. Cheers! -- nae' blis 00:10, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
By giving me awful ideas in conversation, if you recall. Good to see you, also! Kat Walsh (spill your mind?) 07:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Antandrus, please do not recreate this page, please do email me though to discuss the situation. It is complex and subtle, trust me...-- Jimbo Wales 22:42, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm scratching my head looking at this. Every vote is to keep, and the closing admin decides the consensus is delete? Can I contest this? Chubbles 23:47, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Antandrus! I noticed a new edit on List of choirs that looks like minor junk to me, but I'm not sure what to do about it, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention. Would you mind checking it out? Thanks! Laurie Fox 01:16, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
