Hello. I've removed the Uncat tag which you placed on the Young Justice: Legacy article because I now have added some categories. Feel free to check them. KidXap ( talk) 02:33, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello again. I've also changed the style of the citations on the Young Justice: Legacy article and removed the tag. If this has not been done right, feel free to add the tag again. XapApp ( talk) 12:22, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi Derek, a John Taylor has been added to the " Players earning international caps while at Hull Kingston Rovers" section of the Hull Kingston Rovers article, would you know whether a John Taylor did play for Hull KR, Great Britain, and Yorkshire? If so, what era did he play in? I don't believe anyone of that name played in a Test Match for Great Britain, but tourists to Australia & New Zealand are less well documented. Best Regards.

A. Sandham played Hooker for Wales while at Hull Kingston Rovers in the 5-31 defeat to England at The Watersheddings, Oldham on Saturday 20 January 1912, would you have any more details on this player? His forename would be a start! Best Regards. DynamoDegsy ( talk) 15:03, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I'm a Master Editor here as well. I've recently taken an interest in Scots WP. Years ago, I was present at a Burns Night where our haggis was Addressed, and I understood very little.
I am embarrassed to say how few active users Scots WP has, and how few are Scotsmen. (My family's originally from the Cotswolds and Brummagem.)
I have seen you repair some of my Linkrot tags here. (Thank you very much for that.)
I have recently introduced that tag to Scots WP, but do not have the manpower to do more than just tag.
Any interest in applying your technique to our shocking degree of rot?
The vast majority of Scots articles are translations from here, so a tagged article in Scots is likely to have (or have had) an untagged article here. (Killing two birds, as it were.)
I don't want to impose on your time, but if you are available at all we could certainly use a helping hand.

Ring any bells? Not a noticeably successful recording career, but interesting now as she was co-host on J. Savile's first TV appearances in 1960.

Dear Derek,
I would like to show my appreciation for your multiple edits. I would like also to ask you to act on my behalf and to accept my edit request published at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Eric_Dill#Edit_request_on_2_November_2012 I would appreciate you understanding. Best wishes, Daniel Dwdimov ( talk) 14:49, 5 November 2012 (UTC) |
Thank you for the barnstar. I think it would be better for those more familiar with the subject matter, and possibly the viewpoint of an independent administrator, to assess your dilemma. Unfortunately, I fulfil neither criteria. Regards,

Hi. I became aware of the Reflinks tool when you used it on a page I'd recently marked for linkrot. So I tried it on The Village Market and only got the deadlinks marked. I see you reapplied it to the same article and got all the bare urls fixed, too. I must have not used it properly. Rest assured I will try it again some time: this seems like a very valuable tool.

I am somewhat closer to the sheer nonsense of it all, when you mention the Eurovision Song Contest. However, I am rather puzzled how those in Sweden think that resembling "Japanese musicians, characterized by the use of make-up, elaborate hair styles and flamboyant costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics", will find favour with the Eurovision audience. Particularly bearing in mind the Oriental connection - not an obvious choice for a vote winner in European circles. I suppose it is vaguely similar to Dana International. We British think Eurovision is a strange joke at the best of times, but if he prevails what do we know. Presumably the song - which I think the contest is meant to be about - is equally bizarre ?
I can not believe that Swedish make-up, elaborate hair styles and flamboyant costumes could ever triumph at Eurovision !

Derek, this edit removed titles, publications and dates from a few references, leaving bare URLs. Not sure you intended to do that. -- Michig ( talk) 13:51, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
I don't understand why you marked three perfectly valid links as not working in your edits here [2] and here [3]. Even though you marked them as dead, the links are still working. As I said, I don't understand. I've reverted the article back to an edition before these and one other edit made by another user. ...William 18:43, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi D, Glad to see you are going strong. I'm recruiting for extra comments on a content dispute at Richard Manitoba. Apparently there was some flare up over use of the name Manitoba some years back, and the aggrieved party has been repeatedly and persistently inserting snarky copy into the Handsome Dick article. Since he has also done press interviews, he has refs. If you could assist on consensus, much appreciated. Wwwhatsup ( talk) 13:29, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
I do not know if you still have a passing interest in this article, but I have added various references, mainly regarding Howard's pop music involvement. I noted your comment on the article's talk page, but thought it more prudent to post a reply (of sorts) here. The user you identified has not made any edit since May last year. Any thoughts ?

Sad news. He produced the first album I ever bought with my own money - in the days when I used to pore over record covers and wondered who these strange people were. And of course he introduced The Shangri-Las to the world - which to my mind gives him an honoured place in the highest echelons of rock'n'roll heaven... Ghmyrtle ( talk) 22:51, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
If I remember correclty at one time I was one of the editors who tried to get Category:African-American female singers renamed to Category:Afircan American female singers, but a bunch of people objected. Actually I had forgotten it, but I was the one who back on Aug. 22, 2011 made a prposal seen at this line [4] to rename to Category:African American people and then rename all its subcats to not use a hypen. The proposal was to get rid of the hyphen. What actually happened is that they then turned around and imposed the hyphen everywhere. We now have Category:African-American people but also Category:Native American people. It does not make sense to me, but it makes sense to someone, and attempts to change either of these categories are not likely to make progress. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 03:11, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
A user (IP address 46.65.58.76 and previously Dancingqueen100) repeatedly removes references details regarding the collapse of Nude Records falsely claiming every reference to any such detail to be either untrue or can't be trusted. I believe the facts regarding the aftermath of the label and it's affects on it's bands is quite relevant, and if wanted I could research every artist signed to the label adn add details on what happened to them (I'm not going to though). Previous references to the band Lowgold (from archived pages from the bands official website - the site was later redesigned with new content) were also previously removed. I believe Wikipedia is based on references, not people making baseless claims and removing anything that they do not happen to like from an article because it relates to them. Based on what the user removes, I believe the user is the label boss Saul Galpern, who has claimed to know who I am based on my IP address, despite me having no connection with him, the label or any artist signed to Nude.
92.8.29.174 ( talk) 13:56, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
The same admin who just removes the content, I see. Any reference to anything regarding the collapse of the labe and affects on artists are just reverted - I would also state that Saul Galpern and user Smartarse (or however they spell it) are the only people to remove such info.
92.8.29.174 ( talk) 14:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
I would also point out that it seems strange for an admin to "side" with an anonymous editor whose only edits are to remove content from this article. The text isn't controversial, is referenced and it's removal is only on the basis of it suiting the other user who could actually be just about anyone.
92.8.29.174 ( talk) 14:35, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure a fanzine interview with a band member is "reliable". Based on the criteria you're claiming, I'd imagine about 80% of all references on Wikipedia are not valid therefore making the whole website useless. I think the issue you should be looking at more closely is why a user, who hasn't revealed their identity yet takes on the persona of someone connected to the article in question, is removing the info - which is correct regardless of whether you think the references used are "reliable" (which they are).

Derek, this edit removed titles, publications and dates from a few references, leaving bare URLs. Not sure you intended to do that. -- Michig ( talk) 13:51, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
I don't understand why you marked three perfectly valid links as not working in your edits here [2] and here [3]. Even though you marked them as dead, the links are still working. As I said, I don't understand. I've reverted the article back to an edition before these and one other edit made by another user. ...William 18:43, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
Mean anything to you? I've been listening to some of his 60s records - excellent! More info here, here, and here - not much though. Over to you, or leave it to me? Ghmyrtle ( talk) 21:20, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
Have another Wee Willie - unrelated! This one also sounds great, if you can find any of his stuff to listen to. Great story too. Can you add anything from your multiplicitous sources? Feel free to tweak it if you like! Ghmyrtle ( talk) 09:17, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi D, Glad to see you are going strong. I'm recruiting for extra comments on a content dispute at Richard Manitoba. Apparently there was some flare up over use of the name Manitoba some years back, and the aggrieved party has been repeatedly and persistently inserting snarky copy into the Handsome Dick article. Since he has also done press interviews, he has refs. If you could assist on consensus, much appreciated. Wwwhatsup ( talk) 13:29, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
I do not know if you still have a passing interest in this article, but I have added various references, mainly regarding Howard's pop music involvement. I noted your comment on the article's talk page, but thought it more prudent to post a reply (of sorts) here. The user you identified has not made any edit since May last year. Any thoughts ?

Hi, if you could help me with the Murder of Gerd Johansson refs and Olle Möller refs I would appreciate it. Im no good at making refs and combine several into one basically. :) Thanks again!-- BabbaQ ( talk) 14:40, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
I see that User:Chrismariejones1 has an email address enabled. I think one of us should contact her to explain that we need reliable sources. What do you think? Ghmyrtle ( talk) 14:45, 31 January 2013 (UTC) PS: Have a good time? Sadly, you missed most of the snow.....
Sad news. He produced the first album I ever bought with my own money - in the days when I used to pore over record covers and wondered who these strange people were. And of course he introduced The Shangri-Las to the world - which to my mind gives him an honoured place in the highest echelons of rock'n'roll heaven... Ghmyrtle ( talk) 22:51, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
If I remember correclty at one time I was one of the editors who tried to get Category:African-American female singers renamed to Category:Afircan American female singers, but a bunch of people objected. Actually I had forgotten it, but I was the one who back on Aug. 22, 2011 made a prposal seen at this line [4] to rename to Category:African American people and then rename all its subcats to not use a hypen. The proposal was to get rid of the hyphen. What actually happened is that they then turned around and imposed the hyphen everywhere. We now have Category:African-American people but also Category:Native American people. It does not make sense to me, but it makes sense to someone, and attempts to change either of these categories are not likely to make progress. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 03:11, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
A user (IP address 46.65.58.76 and previously Dancingqueen100) repeatedly removes references details regarding the collapse of Nude Records falsely claiming every reference to any such detail to be either untrue or can't be trusted. I believe the facts regarding the aftermath of the label and it's affects on it's bands is quite relevant, and if wanted I could research every artist signed to the label adn add details on what happened to them (I'm not going to though). Previous references to the band Lowgold (from archived pages from the bands official website - the site was later redesigned with new content) were also previously removed. I believe Wikipedia is based on references, not people making baseless claims and removing anything that they do not happen to like from an article because it relates to them. Based on what the user removes, I believe the user is the label boss Saul Galpern, who has claimed to know who I am based on my IP address, despite me having no connection with him, the label or any artist signed to Nude.

The same admin who just removes the content, I see. Any reference to anything regarding the collapse of the labe and affects on artists are just reverted - I would also state that Saul Galpern and user Smartarse (or however they spell it) are the only people to remove such info.

I would also point out that it seems strange for an admin to "side" with an anonymous editor whose only edits are to remove content from this article. The text isn't controversial, is referenced and it's removal is only on the basis of it suiting the other user who could actually be just about anyone.

I'm pretty sure a fanzine interview with a band member is "reliable". Based on the criteria you're claiming, I'd imagine about 80% of all references on Wikipedia are not valid therefore making the whole website useless. I think the issue you should be looking at more closely is why a user, who hasn't revealed their identity yet takes on the persona of someone connected to the article in question, is removing the info - which is correct regardless of whether you think the references used are "reliable" (which they are).
