Hi there - I've restored this; I deleted it a while back as it was starting to get a little out of date, but it's generally still relevant. Black Kite 21:02, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Sure, delete her if you want. I don't really understand people like you who seem to have a mania for deleting articles which some people might find interesting but you feel that the presence of this article makes Wiki a significantly worse place then go ahead. I don't care. SmokeyTheCat •TALK• 12:22, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
I very much doubt that Giselle Lorimer will ever become notable. Her books are very much minority interest and will probably stay that way. She seems uninterested in publicity anyway. There are numerous hits on her but all they just just cite her three books and her publisher. Not a word of biographical information. She interests me tho and I wrote her a snail mail but I doubt I'll ever get a reply. One of those many little small mysteries of the WWW. Anyway, thanks for the information, happy Wiki editing and I'll see you around no doubt, George George aka SmokeyTheCat •TALK• 08:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Too often great editors like you are overlooked and not given the credit deserved for all their great contributions. So I am awarding you this barnstar to let you know I greatly appreciate all you do for Wikipedia, and please keep up the outstanding work!! CTJF83 chat 03:12, 17 November 2010 (UTC) |
When reviewing and I accept or reject an edit, I usually check the history after to be certain it 'took'. After rejecting a top-level edit of Mike Arcuri for vandalism, I spotted a tangle of 9 stacked edits in the history. On the surface, it appears User:Edgarde vandalised the article, but that's not the case. Both User:Edgarde and User:L Kensington tried to revert vandalism but stepped on one another's edits.
To be clear, no one's at fault (except the bloody vandal). This happened to me and once done, I've not found a graceful way out except manually accept what edits could be accepted and then using brute force to clean up the rest.

Hello, was just curious what the specific reason was for removing the info about how many albums Hammer sold to summarize the "big picture" of the statements made about him in the beginning of the article? What "copyright" was violated? To avoid an "edit war", I'm discussing it with you first. If just the portion about the total amount of albums were sold is enough, I can remove the rest of it. Thanks, happy holiday(s)... 63.131.4.149 ( talk) 07:14, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Gotcha, makes complete sense. I merely moved the statement to "enhance and complete the thought" of the intro. I hadn't confirmed if the sources were legit &/or still working. I can do some checking to see if there is in fact a cite claiming it's 50 million worldwide, and not just 30 million nationally. Seems in my research I've read something about that somewhere for sure, but whether it's a reliable source or not is another story. Thanks for the time to research and explain, I really appreciate it.

After a quick search (and from sources I've perhaps used in the past for Hammer-related articles), these two seem to be sufficient: [1] [2] Others I found are: [3] [4] In my opinion, I think some of the "30 million" confusion also comes from the amount he banked after releasing Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em as well. At any rate, let me know if they suit you. Can remove the other "hype" words from the previous sources if necessary and add this back to the intro and award section as you seem fit. I can let you, or do it myself. No biggie, thanks. P.S. I'm in agreement with "demonstrating hip-hop's potential for mass market success". 63.131.4.149 ( talk) 23:20, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
I discovered two things. First was that the A&E source provided originally was ok. I didn't see you comment on that one but was included as one of those rejected. [5] ( [6]) Second, the Word Press cite I mentioned previously isn't acceptable. [7] I'll go ahead and revert/fix the edit(s) and keep the portion you changed. Let me know if you have any issues with it afterwards. Thanks, take care! 63.131.4.149 ( talk) 00:07, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:The Green Pajamas - Kim the Waitress.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:30, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
