Hi. I replied to your comment at Talk:Positive_organ#Various_Historical_Organs. Tomgally 05:31, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. This was my first attempt at creating templates and I thought I had followed the instructions exactly but hadn't checked the instruments page. I think the problem is now fixed, but let me know if you can spot any other problems with it. Bluewave 08:21, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
I'd make a note on the talk page that you want to respect other editors' work, but that you intend to be bold, respectfully. Then go ahead and make the changes. If the anonymous editor objects, he/she will let you know, hopefully in a civil fashion. You may be able to work together to make a fantastic article. Have fun! And Merry Christmas!

Hi - Would you be interested in uploading image:Henry_Purcell.jpg to commons (under a different name)? Sounds like this, followed by deleting the local copy of the image, is the solution to your problem. After it's uploaded on commons (and the references fixed), the local copy can certainly be deleted by listing it at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. "Duplicate exists at commons" might be sufficient for speedy delete as well, but I'm not sure about this. If you're interested in using and/or providing images for articles, you should probably have a login at commons anyway - so this might be a useful exercise for you. -- Rick Block ( talk) 04:03, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Good job. I would fix the links now, because one the local picture is deleted, they will point to a different image (of the same guy, but a nontheless...). If you need any help on commons, feel free to ask me (I can but try!). I have the same username there. cheers, pfctdayelise 10:36, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Makemi! First of all, welcome, it's good to have someone else interested in early music; I particularly appreciate that you're looking at 17th century English music, an area I haven't really touched yet (there's a lot more needing to be written!) Nice job on V&A; I'll have a closer look when I'm home from work and have access to my books. (I also have that Grout History of Opera, but like to cross-check it with something else). Happy editing!

3RR does not apply to reverting vandalism. (NOT content disputes! - then 3RR does apply.)
To request page protection, if a page is being repeatedly vandalized - more than editors can keep up with, say one per minute - request page protection at WP:RFPP.
Hope this helps! KillerChihuahua ?!? 20:23, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Reverting vandalism does not count towards a violation of the 3RR. so you can keep reverting those anons. If you want the page protected, you can ask at WP:RFP. -- GraemeL (talk) 20:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. I am fairly new here myself and I haven't found any wikipedia lists etc. I have been wondering about this as I would like to do a page on The Record of Singing a famous compilation of vocal recordings of the 78-era. (I'd also like to work out an effective way of referring to recordings at the bottom of the opera articles, which doesn't involve ephemeral links etc.)
If you make any progress on this please let me know. I'd be delighted to know more.
Keep in touch and good luck with your research!

Hello! Yeah, those articles are rather obtuse, aren't they? I will take a look at improving them, although I don't know a whole lot about them; I might recommend asking User:Cor anglais 16 about them, too - he might be more familiar with them. Thanks for the welcome! - Sesquialtera II 22:26, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
i thought i could submit articles i was just submitting articles in accordance with their topic... and i thought i could freely submit them ... why put me as spam?
i cant submit my site now? my boss told me to submit every article we have to the topics related to it... what will i do now? should i submit still the articles we have? or you will put me into spam if i do? Intiendes 07:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

How cool is it that you made an article on the Fairy Queen! At Oberlin, we are putting on our own production, set to go up in a couple weeks. The advisor, Steven Plank, studied with Curtis Price, and we are making sure everything is historically informed. My girlfriend is designing the costumes, and I have several friends in the cast. Neat that you just made the article today...
Also, I did see your comment on the Grove Music Online template talk page, and it seemed fine..thanks for your help with templating. - Sesquialtera II 23:04, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, we have a couple copies of Grove 2001. I'll update them when I'm in the library next. And, indeed, they are doing some serious Baroque dance. It should be excellent. - Sesquialtera II 04:31, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Didn't mean to delete your AFD. It was overwritten when I finished an edit. It was only after I read the "code" on the next page that I even noticed it. Yes, I'm new (hope this is the right place to say this...). You might be right on the need to delete; I just expanded it from three to 50 states, with a ton of edits (I'd save the page, then see that they were in alpha order). Robhmac 07:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Makemi. I am not a very technical person, nor indeed even online permanently as many Wikipedians seem to be, so I would like to thank you for your work on my behalf. You have been usefully reverting the changes that an anonymous user persists in making to "John Hervey" (see how untechnical I am -- I don't even know how to do the links, and copy and paste didn't work). You may also like to know that the same user (or I suppose I should say ISP number) has been doing the same thing to the article about this character's father, "Victor Hervey". If you would keep an eye on this and revert any inappropriate changes that Anonymous makes, I would be grateful. Thanks. BrainyBabe 16:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Any idea why my info on IV was deleted???
I wonder why would any one delete my entries in Wikipedia on Information Visualization. I wish you leave a message for me if you have any doubts.
I would appreciate cooperation and compassion in dealing with content contributed by others.
I do understand what is spam. My scholarly blog link, on Info Visualization, that was deleted, is NOT a spam. I would request you to restore my content.

Stop screwing Chopin's birthday you uneducated ignorant.
Thanks for the note, I have to admit that I didn't read very far into the article. If you'd like to edit the article to conform to consensus I'll back you on it. If he continues to attack and make personal attacks I'll take care of it. But please keep civil and take the high road, that'll give you the leverage you need...and it's the right thing to do anyway ;0 I'm sure you would anyway....

Sorry, when all the images on the George W. Bush page have some public meaning in terms of his presidency, that one does not. Also, threats over legitimate editing are not allowed on Wikipedia. 67.163.110.126 05:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Makemi. As I was patrolling Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, I came upon Gabe Rivera, which you nominated for speedy deletion. It appears to me to have enough of an assertion of notability that it must go through Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. I've added it there, and if you'd like to comment on the article or explain your reasons for deletion, the discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gabe Rivera. Thanks for your help. — Cleared as filed. 13:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
I moved this to
Talk:Just intonation because I thought others might want to comment on this.

As you suggested I had the topic for "discussion." Did you read a comment from an editor on my IV content? Restore the item please. ( Mtindia 13:53, 5 February 2006 (UTC));
Nice job on Gabriel Faure! It's a rare pleasure to see a non-minor edit in our "classical music" area, and this is a bio that has needed enhancing for a while now. Happy editing, Antandrus (talk) 00:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to thank you for your contribution to the article. I've opened up a request for peer review. Wikipedia:Peer review/Joan of Arc/archive2 Would appreciate your feedback. Best wishes, Durova 03:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
James Urbaniak himself has stated that he thought his old entry was laughable. This one is based on information from his livejournal, and hopefully the man himself will like it more. Also when deleting information, you deleted certain facts which are in fact necessary, such as the Drama Desk Award, and I should note that those lines improvised are in fact true.

I did not create two accounts at one time. That other account is someone else. You are confused. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aculag ( talk • contribs) .
Dude, we're friends and both created accounts at the same time so we could edit the wiki. There's no great mystery here, and you're not going to win some award from the mods for being some super sleuth, so cut it out already. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aculag ( talk • contribs) .
While open to discussion or following a precedent, I did rather carefully consider which name to use for the article and felt that as the name Little Church is the much more common name in use by the general public that perhaps it was the one to use.

The author of this article has removed the AfD notice on the article. I didn't notice your official withdrawal of AfD-ness on that article, but I'm hesitant to replace it in interest of not biting the newcomers. Would you check it out? Thanks, Mak emi 06:28, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the article " Flarians", I cannot find any reference pertaining to both "Flarian" and "Orc" in Google. This leads me to believe that the article is just made-up information, invented by the poster. I'll let you call it. -- Mas T er of Puppets Peek! 01:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for doing RC patrol. When reverting vandalism, please try to make sure you get all of it. I usually do this by comparing the current version to the last version by a logged-in user. Check it out [1]. I've done the same before :) Mak emi 01:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
No hard feelings, but check WP:NOR for why this page probably got deleted. CrypticBacon 06:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
My apologies, I didn't read the article history clearly enough. Take care! :-) CrypticBacon 06:53, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about that, sometimes I forget that someone else might read the occasional edit summary and my snarky comments can be confusing. Here's my edit, with the removed, misspelled, mispunctuated sentence. I was just asking if anyone knew if it was true that The White Stripes occasionally use Leadbelly's Boll Weevil to finish off sets.-- The Grza 22:08, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
I didn't understand your reversion at [2]. The addition of a link to an article by Churchill seems perfectly reasonable to me, not vandalism in any case. I guess you could argue about whether every article link by the subject of the bio needs to be included, but that doesn't seem like an automatic rollback thing. I added that link back in, but in a more appropriate section, and using the {cite journal} template rather than as a plain link.
As prod is specifically and exclusively for uncontroversial deletions, you aren't supposed to restore the notice, even if they did nothing to address the concerns. Any objection sends it to AfD. Which is where it is now. NickelShoe 20:22, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Heh, unfortunately I can't change that, AFAIK. Unless maybe I restored and deleted it again. But I guess it shouldn't be too much of a problem to point people to the right AfD discussion, should they cry foul.-- Shanel 19:14, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey Makemi, I recently checked in with two editorial assistants at LiP who were working on a project to link relevant articles we've published to various Wikipedia pages. After looking at their history, I can see why you immediately took most of them down! Neither of them are familiar with Wikipedia, and didn't realize they were, essentially, spamming these pages. Rest assured that it was not their intention to do so, and that they were honestly trying to provide relevant resources for Wikipedia readers. LiP is an all-volunteer project, so it's not like anyone was trying to make money off linking to our website. I've told them both to only post LiP pages in the future after better aquainting themselves with Wikipedia and being certain that it (a) is in the right place and (b) is *really* something that would be beneficial as an external resource to the page they link it to. Thanks!-- DinoMo 07:38, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Makemi -- I left Ross a note and also left a comment on the AfD page. I think you're right about how to handle the article, and it's an interesting issue: it's outside of the jurisdiction of our ArbCom, and I honestly don't know where the best place to handle the conflict would be. Wikimedia Foundation maybe? The article implies he's already tried to get them interested. Thanks for trying to help him anyway. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 03:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Greetings! Answering your questions: if the articles haven't changed between 1980 and the online Grove, I think one reference is enough. Sometimes though they are different articles; for example right now I'm writing one on Cornelis Verdonck and there is good, and different, content in both. (I only used the 1980 Grove until I got myself a subscription to the online one at the beginning of last year.) Regarding being an admin: the edit counter was down this afternoon, but have you been here 3 months yet, and have, say, 2000 edits to the article space? Three months seems to be the "golden ratio" for getting by, especially if you haven't been in any nasty conflicts (and I certainly don't remember any). I will nominate you myself at 3 months if you like! I think you'd be a great admin. Antandrus (talk) 23:31, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Very fine work: I finally got around to looking at this article (prowling around redlinks on my to-do-list, and checking what-links-here). It reads well, is extremely interesting, and I learned something from it. Strange, I read through the long section on the troubadours in Ezra Pound's The Spirit of Romance, and didn't find a single mention of a woman except as an object of a song by a man (maybe, writing in 1910, he just didn't know about them?) Interesting stuff: thank you for spending the time to write the article! Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 05:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I just noticed that in your Request for Adminship, you stated that "Godmode light has it's problems". I just wanted to let you know that in the past few days, a code change in the MediaWiki software broke the functionality of certain conditions of Godmode-light. To fix this, go to edit your monobook. Copy all of the code of godmode-light.js, and paste it right in your monobook. Then, go to User:Lightdarkness/GML Fix and read the instructions, then you'll be all set! If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page. Cheers! -- light darkness ( talk) 15:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough — I was probably feeling irritable anyway, and seing the subject of the article remove negative comments about himself didn't go down well. I expect that, if the accusations have any substance, they'll be replaced with citations. -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 10:16, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I think it's one of those inconsistent Italian spellings. Google is about equally mixed; Bukofzer's Music in the Baroque has prattica; this [4] has both spellings; modern Italian seems to have it with one t. My Harvard Dictionary of Music has prattica. I've seen it both ways; I think it's ok to leave it with a single T and make redirects. Thanks for writing prima pratica -- you caught an important redlink! :-) Antandrus (talk) 02:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd tag them as copyvios rather than AfD them, but when I do that, the user takes the tag off of it or blanks them. This guy really needs to be blocked, he has made thousands of edits today, almost all of the copyvios or AfD removals. -- Descendall 06:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Way to move the works! Did you see the silliness on the talk page? Oh well. By the way, and article that I mostly wrote, Trobairitz, is in Peer Review right now. It would be great if you could take a look at it. Mak emi 22:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Afraid my interest in early music is more interest than knowledge, being more of a 20th century person... I looked it over and rather like it. I can't think of anything to suggest; it reads well.
Oh, and I ran across Antandrus's talk page and noticed a couple lovely sound files posted there. Wow, a real singer on Wikipedia—those are lovely! Nice to hear from you and best of luck with the admin mop. :-) (Afraid I spend more time with that than in classical music lately, or I'd've said hello sooner...)

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 04:31, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

You have been usefully reverting the changes that an anonymous user persists in making to "John Hervey" (see how untechnical I am -- I don't even know how to do the links, and copy and paste didn't work). You may also like to know that the same user (or I suppose I should say ISP number) has been doing the same thing to the article about this character's father, "Victor Hervey". If you would keep an eye on this and revert any inappropriate changes that Anonymous makes, I would be grateful. Thanks. BrainyBabe 16:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Any idea why my info on IV was deleted???
I wonder why would any one delete my entries in Wikipedia on Information Visualization. I wish you leave a message for me if you have any doubts.
I would appreciate cooperation and compassion in dealing with content contributed by others.
I do understand what is spam. My scholarly blog link, on Info Visualization, that was deleted, is NOT a spam. I would request you to restore my content.

Stop screwing Chopin's birthday you uneducated ignorant.
Thanks for the note, I have to admit that I didn't read very far into the article. If you'd like to edit the article to conform to consensus I'll back you on it. If he continues to attack and make personal attacks I'll take care of it. But please keep civil and take the high road, that'll give you the leverage you need...and it's the right thing to do anyway ;0 I'm sure you would anyway....

Sorry, when all the images on the George W. Bush page have some public meaning in terms of his presidency, that one does not. Also, threats over legitimate editing are not allowed on Wikipedia. 67.163.110.126 05:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Makemi. As I was patrolling Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, I came upon Gabe Rivera, which you nominated for speedy deletion. It appears to me to have enough of an assertion of notability that it must go through Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. I've added it there, and if you'd like to comment on the article or explain your reasons for deletion, the discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gabe Rivera. Thanks for your help. — Cleared as filed. 13:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
I moved this to
Talk:Just intonation because I thought others might want to comment on this.

As you suggested I had the topic for "discussion." Did you read a comment from an editor on my IV content? Restore the item please. ( Mtindia 13:53, 5 February 2006 (UTC));
Nice job on Gabriel Faure! It's a rare pleasure to see a non-minor edit in our "classical music" area, and this is a bio that has needed enhancing for a while now. Happy editing, Antandrus (talk) 00:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to thank you for your contribution to the article. I've opened up a request for peer review. Wikipedia:Peer review/Joan of Arc/archive2 Would appreciate your feedback. Best wishes, Durova 03:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
James Urbaniak himself has stated that he thought his old entry was laughable. This one is based on information from his livejournal, and hopefully the man himself will like it more. Also when deleting information, you deleted certain facts which are in fact necessary, such as the Drama Desk Award, and I should note that those lines improvised are in fact true.

I did not create two accounts at one time. That other account is someone else. You are confused. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aculag ( talk • contribs) .
Dude, we're friends and both created accounts at the same time so we could edit the wiki. There's no great mystery here, and you're not going to win some award from the mods for being some super sleuth, so cut it out already. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aculag ( talk • contribs) .
While open to discussion or following a precedent, I did rather carefully consider which name to use for the article and felt that as the name Little Church is the much more common name in use by the general public that perhaps it was the one to use. Even their web page uses "littlechurch.org" however as before, I am open to discussion Doc 08:25, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

The author of this article has removed the AfD notice on the article. I didn't notice your official withdrawal of AfD-ness on that article, but I'm hesitant to replace it in interest of not biting the newcomers. Would you check it out? Thanks, Mak emi 06:28, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the article " Flarians", I cannot find any reference pertaining to both "Flarian" and "Orc" in Google. This leads me to believe that the article is just made-up information, invented by the poster. I'll let you call it. -- Mas T er of Puppets Peek! 01:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for doing RC patrol. When reverting vandalism, please try to make sure you get all of it. I usually do this by comparing the current version to the last version by a logged-in user. Check it out [1]. I've done the same before :) Mak emi 01:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
No hard feelings, but check WP:NOR for why this page probably got deleted. CrypticBacon 06:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
My apologies, I didn't read the article history clearly enough. Take care! :-) CrypticBacon 06:53, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about that, sometimes I forget that someone else might read the occasional edit summary and my snarky comments can be confusing. Here's my edit, with the removed, misspelled, mispunctuated sentence. I was just asking if anyone knew if it was true that The White Stripes occasionally use Leadbelly's Boll Weevil to finish off sets.-- The Grza 22:08, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
I didn't understand your reversion at [2]. The addition of a link to an article by Churchill seems perfectly reasonable to me, not vandalism in any case. I guess you could argue about whether every article link by the subject of the bio needs to be included, but that doesn't seem like an automatic rollback thing. I added that link back in, but in a more appropriate section, and using the {cite journal} template rather than as a plain link.
As prod is specifically and exclusively for uncontroversial deletions, you aren't supposed to restore the notice, even if they did nothing to address the concerns. Any objection sends it to AfD. Which is where it is now. NickelShoe 20:22, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

you posted the following on my user page : "Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do.

u didn't say what i 'tested' and what page you are talking about? - 137.205.148.15
edit: i see it was refering to the article on the streets, which i edited accurately, and cleaned up.
continued discussion on my talk page. - 137.205.148.15
Good call. I was a bit fast on the trigger finger there. Thanks for catching it. -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 23:49, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Heh, unfortunately I can't change that, AFAIK. Unless maybe I restored and deleted it again. But I guess it shouldn't be too much of a problem to point people to the right AfD discussion, should they cry foul.-- Shanel 19:14, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey Makemi, I recently checked in with two editorial assistants at LiP who were working on a project to link relevant articles we've published to various Wikipedia pages. After looking at their history, I can see why you immediately took most of them down! Neither of them are familiar with Wikipedia, and didn't realize they were, essentially, spamming these pages. Rest assured that it was not their intention to do so, and that they were honestly trying to provide relevant resources for Wikipedia readers. LiP is an all-volunteer project, so it's not like anyone was trying to make money off linking to our website. I've told them both to only post LiP pages in the future after better aquainting themselves with Wikipedia and being certain that it (a) is in the right place and (b) is *really* something that would be beneficial as an external resource to the page they link it to. Thanks!-- DinoMo 07:38, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Makemi -- I left Ross a note and also left a comment on the AfD page. I think you're right about how to handle the article, and it's an interesting issue: it's outside of the jurisdiction of our ArbCom, and I honestly don't know where the best place to handle the conflict would be. Wikimedia Foundation maybe? The article implies he's already tried to get them interested. Thanks for trying to help him anyway. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 03:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Greetings! Answering your questions: if the articles haven't changed between 1980 and the online Grove, I think one reference is enough. Sometimes though they are different articles; for example right now I'm writing one on Cornelis Verdonck and there is good, and different, content in both. (I only used the 1980 Grove until I got myself a subscription to the online one at the beginning of last year.) Regarding being an admin: the edit counter was down this afternoon, but have you been here 3 months yet, and have, say, 2000 edits to the article space? Three months seems to be the "golden ratio" for getting by, especially if you haven't been in any nasty conflicts (and I certainly don't remember any). I will nominate you myself at 3 months if you like! I think you'd be a great admin. Antandrus (talk) 23:31, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Very fine work: I finally got around to looking at this article (prowling around redlinks on my to-do-list, and checking what-links-here). It reads well, is extremely interesting, and I learned something from it. Strange, I read through the long section on the troubadours in Ezra Pound's The Spirit of Romance, and didn't find a single mention of a woman except as an object of a song by a man (maybe, writing in 1910, he just didn't know about them?) Interesting stuff: thank you for spending the time to write the article! Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 05:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

If you're still looking for his death date it's probably 1913. Confirmed here Böhler, Otto 11.11.1847 - 05.04.1913 and here. Or 1911? Hope this is good enough for the bot.-- HJMG 10:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

... for adminship!
See the directions here Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/nominate at the end (four steps) ... and I look forward to seeing you join the Broom Brigade of the Musicabal. Happy editing! :-) Antandrus (talk) 03:21, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I just noticed that in your Request for Adminship, you stated that "Godmode light has it's problems". I just wanted to let you know that in the past few days, a code change in the MediaWiki software broke the functionality of certain conditions of Godmode-light. To fix this, go to edit your monobook. Copy all of the code of godmode-light.js, and paste it right in your monobook. Then, go to User:Lightdarkness/GML Fix and read the instructions, then you'll be all set! If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page. Cheers! -- light darkness ( talk) 15:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough — I was probably feeling irritable anyway, and seing the subject of the article remove negative comments about himself didn't go down well. I expect that, if the accusations have any substance, they'll be replaced with citations. -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 10:16, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I think it's one of those inconsistent Italian spellings. Google is about equally mixed; Bukofzer's Music in the Baroque has prattica; this [4] has both spellings; modern Italian seems to have it with one t. My Harvard Dictionary of Music has prattica. I've seen it both ways; I think it's ok to leave it with a single T and make redirects. Thanks for writing prima pratica -- you caught an important redlink! :-) Antandrus (talk) 02:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions to the Ives article and comment at Wikipedia:Featured article removal candidates/Charles Ives. You have not voted though on if the page should be FARCd. It would be helpful when reaching a concensus if you did. Thanks. Giano | talk 07:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I'd tag them as copyvios rather than AfD them, but when I do that, the user takes the tag off of it or blanks them. This guy really needs to be blocked, he has made thousands of edits today, almost all of the copyvios or AfD removals. -- Descendall 06:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Way to move the works! Did you see the silliness on the talk page? Oh well. By the way, and article that I mostly wrote, Trobairitz, is in Peer Review right now. It would be great if you could take a look at it. Mak emi 22:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Afraid my interest in early music is more interest than knowledge, being more of a 20th century person... I looked it over and rather like it. I can't think of anything to suggest; it reads well.
Oh, and I ran across Antandrus's talk page and noticed a couple lovely sound files posted there. Wow, a real singer on Wikipedia—those are lovely! Nice to hear from you and best of luck with the admin mop. :-) (Afraid I spend more time with that than in classical music lately, or I'd've said hello sooner...)

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 04:31, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
