Hey Buddy, where's my article, why did you delete it?? I see no justification for deleting it, spam my a$$!! Why don't you write a better one, instead of going around deleting other people's articles. Under what authority can you delete articles, I would like to know??? HeMan5 04:38, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, you posted a little hello note on my talk page, I think it must have been after I wrote the Montpellier Codex article. I'm not entirely new to Wikipedia, but just this week I saw a number of rather gaping holes, a few of which I decided to patch. I am more or less entirely new to the community aspect of the site. So, hello! Chubbles1212 04:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Makemi. If I could borrow 2 minutes of your time - I would like one more pair of eyes on Agrippina (opera). I'm just about to put it forward for GA, but I'd like someone else to check that there isn't anything particularly grotesque that a GA reviewer would bawl me out for. If you could just check this article out for me, that would be great.
The thing that really cheesed me off was that I wrote this from ONE source - and I have to provide a load of inline cits. Inline cits are wonderful, but not when there's only one source involved. Then it's not a little stupid. Anyway. If you could give me the green light for GA, I'd really appreciate it. Cheers, Moreschi 18:43, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

How do you archive your page? Shadin Thanks! Shadin was clueless
I talk to you because you greeted me when I (finally) signed up months ago.
I have an administrator that chastised me, undid my edits, and referred me to the style manual - which shows that I was completely correct in what I did. Now, this admin will NOT respond, and I have said that I am now going to let the sloppiness, misspellings, bad grammar, and poor writing go unedited by me.
Isn't there an element of responsibility involved with being an admin? Apollyon48 06:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

That's actually pretty funny; you could have a new cat. We have a category for year of birth unknown, maybe one for year of birth unstated ... Putting her with the "flourished" group as 20 years older might be a good idea. You have to put her somewhere. Alternatively have a separate sublist for year-of-birth-unknown-or-unstated for those who are still living. Hm ... Antandrus (talk) 04:22, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Our external links to mdmfiber.com (a 100% recycled carpet fiber) are certainly relevant and important to the articles to which we attach them. Suggest you learn about the material. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulbracegirdle ( talk • contribs)
Nonsense. I typically use the word "our", however, I am the inventor of the technology. My information that is offered is both relevant and important. I assume you failied to notice that entire page is written to self promote the writer. It actually applies to an asepct of a technology (although what is offered is not new) that is used extensively overseas. I will appreciate your replacment of my links.
Well, Mak, it looks like you are on a rampage of deleting links, but you'll have to admit that you are capable of making mistakes, and the kneejerk reaction that you made to the article I added was just such a mistake.
I take issue with your characterization of the expert articles which I referenced as "spam." I took care to isolate a specific article which is covered under the exception to Wikipedia policies regarding blog sites. It is a self-published work by an expert in his field of expertise. Frank Merriman is one of the few teachers left in the world carrying on the authentic art of Bel Canto singing and he comes from an authentic lineage traced back to the Bel Canto era. He is a full-time professori who has been teaching nothing but authentic Bel Canto for forty years. He is an expert teacher who has lectured internationally at arts conferences alongside such well-known figures as opera singer Renatta Scotto.
I did not link arbitrarily to a blog in general, but to a specific article. The article I linked to does not contain an invitation to engage in commerce in any way. It simply identifies the author and his professional reputation and experience.
I intend to do further work on these articles on Wikipedia, which are sloppy, poorly written and had very little in the way of reference material. They need work and I'm here to help! DismasMama 00:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Mak, sorry so long for a response. As to the word "rampage" please accept my apology if I offended-- I was actually chuckling as I wrote it because I had to try my edit at least three times before it got through. Other users were discussing with you the fact that you deleted links that they posted as well and I couldn't "Save Page" because of all the activity. I am glad you are not now saying that I was putting spam in the articles, because that was definitely not what I was doing. Also, I saw some articles in the area of singing that gave general blogsites as "External Links." Now, by that I mean that just a link to the ever-changing front page of someone's blog was given and not a specific article. I don't personally agree that a blog article is an automatically disqualified reference but I'm hesitant to get into the business of saying anything bad about any singing teacher. (I'm not a singing teacher, just for the record) I have found that 99-44/100% of them will say that any other teacher is completely unknowledgeable. Theres no end to it and no end to the territorialism. DismasMama 06:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I noticed you have deleted these two articles and blocked the author for spamming. As you may not be from Australia, I thought I should let you know that Triple J is a major national radio network here and these two shows/people are indeed notable - they are both linked from the Triple J article.

Hi Mak;
Thanks for the warm welcome. I did take a quick look at your viol articles tonight. Nice work. I edited the main viol article a little tonight as well (I think it could use even more still).
I'm not familiar yet with the Etiquette here, if there is any, re discussing proposed edits before-hand on the given article's dedicated discussion page. I don't know how often the fairly regular contributors show up and check such things. I do have some issues and topics I'd like to discuss with those knowledgable. Will you, Mak, participate? (I hope so, having seen your work and knowing your interest).
I'll also have to figure out where, i.e. on who's talk page, to insert my replies. I see people are indenting, and thus threading in place, on a given single users talk page. I 'll guess I'll get the hang of it soon enough ;-)

It may be 16th century italian, but in English "consort" means a spouse, which not only makes no sense in this context, but is not the meaning of the word "concerto" in Italian, no matter which century you are talking about!
Also, I note that the italian page reads "concerto delle dame", rather than "concerto delle donne". I don't know which is correct, but "dama" is properly translated "lady", whereas "donna" is properly translated "woman". There are other mis-translations in the article. Do you speak italian? I do!
If you want to respond, I am User talk:Esb, but I don't check it very often. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.171.10.147 ( talk • contribs)
I think your comments about 16th century italian refer to "concerto delle donne" vs. "concerto delle dame" (and to how to translate "donna"), and that's fine. I am aware that the meaning of "donna" varies in Italian both regionally and through time.
Having read the entry about "consort" more carefully, I agree with your statement about "concert"/"consort". Not being as knowledgeable about music as you are, to me "concerto" simply translates as "concert", but obviously "consort of instruments" is more specific and appropriate. So I thank you for teaching me something new.
I could maybe suggest that this page be made more accessible to others who might also not be very knowledgeable about music, and include the word "concert" in the first paragraph, as an alternative to "consort of instruments" (i.e. provide both words as possible translations). But at this point I'm going to leave it up to you, as you seem quite sufficiently knowledgeable and devoted to this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Esb ( talk • contribs)

I am working on a major revision of the Passion section, which strikes me as anemics and eccentric. Having set the entire text as an oratorio I think I can objectively summarize it. I am puzzled why you deleted the external reference as promotional. If I had written up my work in the music section, I would agree. But in fact my site has the only Gospel parallels on the wed (that I know of), the the reference takes you directly to the text. So what is the problem?

I'm fairly sure that between dates in the first paragraph, – is in fact what is wanted, but I will admit I haven't kept up with recent changes in the MoS and discussion thereof. I'll check.
Ah. Was used to having my own hyphens corrected but here are the rules:
Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers) (Dates of birth and death section, can't seem to get the anchor working right- maybe it's this browser)
and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dashes)
From the latter, seems clear it's a preference, not a rule. It is a range of dates in the sense of the former, from the examples given, though- from time of birth to time of death. Not definite enough but that's what I was basing that on. Schissel | Sound the Note! 15:39, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Not my family (thankfully). I know of the case because I am Swedish in ancestry (see my user page), and the Madsens were a very prominent (and extremely wealthy) half-Danish, half-Swedish clan. I think the fact of their wealth and glamor is what made the incidents so compelling, but that's just me.

Hello, If you look Frostshots up in plural on google or yahoo, you will see a couple of newspapers articles including one from the Miami Herald calling it one of the best ideas of the year. I created the name FrostShot because it was the first time I had used wikipedia and I thought creating an ID was the same as creating an article. I hope you reconsider reposting the unbias definition of this new product. Thank you and best regards.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Frostshot ( talk • contribs)
I have no idea how to send you a simple message, so I'll just edit this page and write it here: Mak, So you delete that person's nonsense, but when i delete some nonsense i saw when someone put a section entitled "jose (or whatever his name was) was here" you deny my editing and put it back.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to Grove, nor am I likely to in the near future, so I don't have a clue about the number of works that would be involved. But it might be worth experimenting with the idea if you think it's viable. Maybe we should try doing the method you suggest and the other method (i.e. the ten lists) simultaneously to see what they turn out like. I think a few user sandboxes are in order so we can see what the completed page(s) would look like before we make our choice. As I've said to Moreschi, this is a project for the medium- to long-term and now that our helpful anti-sexist friend has sadly disappeared, we don't have to rush this list. I just thought we'd better show that we had plans for it in case another overenthusiastic deletionist put it up for the chop. Cheers. -- Folantin 17:58, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry... I was not here, or your message went confused with other new edits to my talk. As for "Giammateo", is totally archaic...

Something I thought of the other day that it might be nice to a big concerto-delle-donne-style project on is Consort of instruments? Lengthy article in Grove gets virtually nothing here. Something to think about, maybe.

My brother's h.s. choir in L.A. sang the "Deo Gracias" in the early 1970s, and last year my music-major daughter's sang the "Wolcum Yole!" with hers (in Israel, incongruously enough, and certainly out of season :-) I haven't gotten up my nerve to suggest D.G. to the director as a follow-up, but as this is one of the few mixed choirs up here in the sparsely-populated north, it might go over big, and who knows, perhaps they could take it on the road...?

Hi, thanks for your block note. I am working on a bot called User:PocKleanBot and as you say it has written the same template to a few pages. The reason for this is that it does keep a list of articles for which it has already been run but at this point its obviously not recalling values from it correctly. The bot is still in development but its very difficult to develop it without testing it occasionally and observing the output. I am aware this causes something of a nuisance for users and so left it as late as I could in the development process.
I have now corrected this problem I think, but it could cause the same problem again if unblocked and re-run.

Hi, Makemi. If I could borrow 2 minutes of your time - I would like one more pair of eyes on Agrippina (opera). I'm just about to put it forward for GA, but I'd like someone else to check that there isn't anything particularly grotesque that a GA reviewer would bawl me out for. If you could just check this article out for me, that would be great.
The thing that really cheesed me off was that I wrote this from ONE source - and I have to provide a load of inline cits. Inline cits are wonderful, but not when there's only one source involved. Then it's not a little stupid. Anyway. If you could give me the green light for GA, I'd really appreciate it. Cheers, Moreschi 18:43, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Nonsense. I typically use the word "our", however, I am the inventor of the technology. My information that is offered is both relevant and important.

It actually applies to an asepct of a technology (although what is offered is not new) that is used extensively overseas. I will appreciate your replacment of my links.
Well, Mak, it looks like you are on a rampage of deleting links, but you'll have to admit that you are capable of making mistakes, and the kneejerk reaction that you made to the article I added was just such a mistake.
I take issue with your characterization of the expert articles which I referenced as "spam." I took care to isolate a specific article which is covered under the exception to Wikipedia policies regarding blog sites. It is a self-published work by an expert in his field of expertise. Frank Merriman is one of the few teachers left in the world carrying on the authentic art of Bel Canto singing and he comes from an authentic lineage traced back to the Bel Canto era. He is a full-time professori who has been teaching nothing but authentic Bel Canto for forty years. He is an expert teacher who has lectured internationally at arts conferences alongside such well-known figures as opera singer Renatta Scotto.
I did not link arbitrarily to a blog in general, but to a specific article. The article I linked to does not contain an invitation to engage in commerce in any way. It simply identifies the author and his professional reputation and experience.
I intend to do further work on these articles on Wikipedia, which are sloppy, poorly written and had very little in the way of reference material. They need work and I'm here to help! DismasMama 00:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Mak, sorry so long for a response. As to the word "rampage" please accept my apology if I offended-- I was actually chuckling as I wrote it because I had to try my edit at least three times before it got through. Other users were discussing with you the fact that you deleted links that they posted as well and I couldn't "Save Page" because of all the activity. I am glad you are not now saying that I was putting spam in the articles, because that was definitely not what I was doing. Also, I saw some articles in the area of singing that gave general blogsites as "External Links." Now, by that I mean that just a link to the ever-changing front page of someone's blog was given and not a specific article. I don't personally agree that a blog article is an automatically disqualified reference but I'm hesitant to get into the business of saying anything bad about any singing teacher. (I'm not a singing teacher, just for the record) I have found that 99-44/100% of them will say that any other teacher is completely unknowledgeable. Theres no end to it and no end to the territorialism. DismasMama 06:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mak;
Thanks for the warm welcome. I did take a quick look at your viol articles tonight. Nice work. I edited the main viol article a little tonight as well (I think it could use even more still).
I'm not familiar yet with the Etiquette here, if there is any, re discussing proposed edits before-hand on the given article's dedicated discussion page. I don't know how often the fairly regular contributors show up and check such things. I do have some issues and topics I'd like to discuss with those knowledgable. Will you, Mak, participate? (I hope so, having seen your work and knowing your interest).
I'll also have to figure out where, i.e. on who's talk page, to insert my replies. I see people are indenting, and thus threading in place, on a given single users talk page. I 'll guess I'll get the hang of it soon enough ;-)

It may be 16th century italian, but in English "consort" means a spouse, which not only makes no sense in this context, but is not the meaning of the word "concerto" in Italian, no matter which century you are talking about!
Also, I note that the italian page reads "concerto delle dame", rather than "concerto delle donne". I don't know which is correct, but "dama" is properly translated "lady", whereas "donna" is properly translated "woman". There are other mis-translations in the article. Do you speak italian? I do!
If you want to respond, I am User talk:Esb, but I don't check it very often. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.171.10.147 ( talk • contribs)
I think your comments about 16th century italian refer to "concerto delle donne" vs. "concerto delle dame" (and to how to translate "donna"), and that's fine. I am aware that the meaning of "donna" varies in Italian both regionally and through time.
Having read the entry about "consort" more carefully, I agree with your statement about "concert"/"consort". Not being as knowledgeable about music as you are, to me "concerto" simply translates as "concert", but obviously "consort of instruments" is more specific and appropriate. So I thank you for teaching me something new.
I could maybe suggest that this page be made more accessible to others who might also not be very knowledgeable about music, and include the word "concert" in the first paragraph, as an alternative to "consort of instruments" (i.e. provide both words as possible translations). But at this point I'm going to leave it up to you, as you seem quite sufficiently knowledgeable and devoted to this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Esb ( talk • contribs)

I am working on a major revision of the Passion section, which strikes me as anemics and eccentric. Having set the entire text as an oratorio I think I can objectively summarize it. I am puzzled why you deleted the external reference as promotional. If I had written up my work in the music section, I would agree. But in fact my site has the only Gospel parallels on the wed (that I know of), the the reference takes you directly to the text. So what is the problem?

Oh for crying out loud. Wikipedia:Hangman. This is the second time it's been recreated. Please delete when you see this, I'm getting seriously cheesed off. Cheers, from an exasperated Moreschi 20:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Monody! I'm impressed. That's fun. Wish I could have heard it!
Stuff going on in NYC ... wish I could be there. There's an exhibition at the Marlborough I want to see, and now I hear there's a meetup. Sigh. :) Antandrus (talk) 04:12, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm looking forward to meeting you. It is more likely now that I will be there. -- Ssilvers 00:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I love the timestamp of this edit: [6]. Methinks Cage would have been amused. Antandrus (talk) 22:21, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Does the cast list look alright to you? I'm kind of embarrassed how I fixed it, but, well, sometimes, lateral thinking works. Adam Cuerden talk 03:43, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Just letting you know that someone recreated it. Gzkn 07:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I listened to your beautiful cantata (sorry I don't remember the name of it). Where did you graduate & did you have a minor or did you honor? 100110100 03:41, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Your response here would be appreciated in the context of this proposal on the arbitration case. Thanks. BhaiSaab talk 15:12, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Whoops, that's not intentional, that's just me messing up and being lazy/an idiot. I'll fix it later on today when I've got more time: currently busy. Thanks for the note and telling me about what MOS says. Cheers, Moreschi 18:33, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. Was he on any of the lists? (Moniuszko, not Vey) Antandrus (talk) 02:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Very nice! Quite a pleasure to hear first thing in the morning here at work (where I have a new computer, which didn't even require any configuring to get the file to play). Unambiguous D Dorian; I would have used it as an example if I were still teaching ear training. Beautifully done! :) Antandrus (talk) 15:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
This is a viable and accredited method used by many people. It is simply a faster way to read and play music. Virtually every guitar player uses this method, they just dont know what to call it. Now they do. The reason I can't cite sources is because this has never been documented before, which was the reason to write the article in the first place. I am new to Wikipedia and would not like my first experience to be a negative one. Please, remove the deletion notice from my article. I will attempt to do some work on it to make it more....whatever you want MY article to be, but until then please remove the deletion notice. Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cptkrod ( talk • contribs)
I'm fairly sure that between dates in the first paragraph, – is in fact what is wanted, but I will admit I haven't kept up with recent changes in the MoS and discussion thereof. I'll check.
Ah. Was used to having my own hyphens corrected but here are the rules:
Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers) (Dates of birth and death section, can't seem to get the anchor working right- maybe it's this browser)
and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dashes)
From the latter, seems clear it's a preference, not a rule. It is a range of dates in the sense of the former, from the examples given, though- from time of birth to time of death. Not definite enough but that's what I was basing that on. Schissel | Sound the Note! 15:39, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Ok- it looked like a hyphen, not an n-dash, to me. Thanks. Anything about my contention that she may not have been the person for whom the B-flat concerto was written, that is, that Leopold's concerto is typically misinterpreted? Schissel | Sound the Note! 15:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
You too, thanks! As I understand it, Girdlestone's disagreement (in which he quotes an article by someone- I don't have my copy here- devoted to the issue- but this was decades ago, and modern scholarship may have a more certain opinion) was:
I just made my first article- about Neil Kumar, who was the first famous person I discovered not to already be on Wikipedia. Why did you delete it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Banana Peel Neil ( talk • contribs)
I don't know what you mean by Notability. If you are asking whether he is well-known or just a student, the answer is he is both. Although he is still a High School senior, he is the most prominent musical performer and composer of the region along with his band, Banana Peel —Preceding unsigned comment added by Banana Peel Neil ( talk • contribs)
Did you delete the page, I was making. I wasn't even finished, I just started really. Then BAM, gone. It is based on a real person, oh which I don't think you will ever see another person with that name. -I edited it out, because I understand why you did so. I forgot my log in, so I can't sign back onto that name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lolzibefixin ( talk • contribs)
I have no idea how to send you a simple message, so I'll just edit this page and write it here: Mak, So you delete that person's nonsense, but when i delete some nonsense i saw when someone put a section entitled "jose (or whatever his name was) was here" you deny my editing and put it back. Why is that Mak?
Hi Makemi,
Thanks for your edits to the article on Anne Boyd, and thank you especially for catching the error in her birth date; a career vandal seems to have been maliciously editing her birth date at random. Hope to see you around more Australian music articles! Ckerr 14:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, How can the description of this product be allowed on your page, it is not for advestrisement purposes it is actually a new invention, I am trying to describe it the best I can without it sounding like advertisement. It is'nt even being sold in the U.S it is only currently available in the chinese market, this is where I first saw it, I just want to share my info with the rest of the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frostshot ( talk • contribs)
Hi. User: Makemi. Jjjhjhjjhmkxzd;ds 16:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you. I have never had an AFD before and was not entirely sure what to do. I am very well acqainted with this "curse" and know that it is true. I only ask that you allow me time to find sources over the Internet. Can I submit non-Internet sources, or do those not count?
P.S. I understand that Wikipedia has a vandal problem. For that reason I ask you to please review my contributions, all of which have been made in good faith; I would not submit information I knew to be false. If you can help me in locating sources (likely on the individual cases), I would be very grateful.

Not my family (thankfully). I know of the case because I am Swedish in ancestry (see my user page), and the Madsens were a very prominent (and extremely wealthy) half-Danish, half-Swedish clan. I think the fact of their wealth and glamor is what made the incidents so compelling, but that's just me.
In Sweden and Denmark, the Madsens are still quite powerful.

Heh. In all honesty, I hadn't seen it until you pointed it out, which makes it hard to get upset =) Adam Cuerden talk 10:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for all the help and the congrats. Cheers, Moreschi 21:22, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I've commented on Antandrus's talk. Yeah, I've heard the Trobairitz one and it's fantastic. Lovely music as well. BTW, I could be imagining it, but it almost sounds as if your voice has...well...grown. The sound just sounds a bit fuller - in fact, definitely so - than it does on the Buxtehude - which was from earlier, right? More mature. Please ignore me completely if I'm talking complete bollocks. Cheers, Moreschi 15:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello, If you look Frostshots up in plural on google or yahoo, you will see a couple of newspapers articles including one from the Miami Herald calling it one of the best ideas of the year. I created the name FrostShot because it was the first time I had used wikipedia and I thought creating an ID was the same as creating an article. I hope you reconsider reposting the unbias definition of this new product. Thank you and best regards.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Frostshot ( talk • contribs)

I think it sounded very nice. The shifting worked well. I didn't notice any pitch problems but I have no ear for that. ++ Lar: t/ c 14:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I don't have access to Grove, nor am I likely to in the near future, so I don't have a clue about the number of works that would be involved. But it might be worth experimenting with the idea if you think it's viable. Maybe we should try doing the method you suggest and the other method (i.e. the ten lists) simultaneously to see what they turn out like. I think a few user sandboxes are in order so we can see what the completed page(s) would look like before we make our choice. As I've said to Moreschi, this is a project for the medium- to long-term and now that our helpful anti-sexist friend has sadly disappeared, we don't have to rush this list. I just thought we'd better show that we had plans for it in case another overenthusiastic deletionist put it up for the chop. Cheers. -- Folantin 17:58, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Nice work!! We need a bunch of work on French music of the 17th century.
I'm listening to Josquin's Missa La sol fa re mi (based on the guy who told him "get lost!" -- "lascia fare mi!") and thinking about writing articles on all these masses ... the masses never understand the masses of work to be done on masses, alas, but lesse faire a moi. :) Antandrus (talk) 18:00, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Do you mind helping me with a small problem? Today, I was working on the article for Bessie Smith. I added a musical artist box and then I noticed that there was information posted on the article more than once. Therefore, I went to delete the repeated information and then, when I saved the page, the enire aricle's information deleted. What should I do? Please respond back to me as soon as possible! Also make sure you look at the Bessie Smith article. Thanks. LovePatsyCline 21:29, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I can edit now, thanks ;-) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lazylaces ( talk • contribs) 20:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC).
Thanks for the information! I'm so glad you helped me out along with the other user. I will be sure to use that next time! LovePatsyCline 21:36, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
1. How do I create a userbox? 2. How do I create a signature? thanks! Lazylaces 03:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry... I was not here, or your message went confused with other new edits to my talk. As for "Giammateo", is totally archaic... Of course, if you google, you'll find only the old Anglicized version. But, believe me, it sounds truly bad. Nobody in Italy call him in this way, and, being him Italian, I think we should keep it. Let me know and good work! -- Attilios 18:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC) (PS: a note... using Google as measure of reliability is not always the best practice. For example, a dispute about the use of Giovanni da Verrazzano or Verrazano, in the end favoured the first one as, despite google telling the opposite, more prestigious English sources also cited him with that name (namely, Britannica). Bye again.)
Great! If I think of anything, I'll let you know. Now, if you had a slave continuo player I could really give you stuff to sing...Cheers, Moreschi 19:32, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Look for the user box on my page at the bottom (the bush one) And Here is my sigunature! Talk- Helping Wikipedians since.. um.. for almost a year! 22:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. Sure any administrator can do the undeleting, not to mention that it is quite easy to re-upload it, but I don't see why you couldn't self-revert, considering there was a consensus on talk page. I prefer try to solve things on user talk first. The administrator who uploaded the image is currently running for ArbCom, so I'd rather not bother him as he is obviously busy. Thanks, Prolog 13:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
He's ba-a-a-a-ack. Looks like unprotecting was premature. Fan-1967 14:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Now where was I? Oh, yes, there's still one ugly fact tag on Venus and Adonis (opera). I don't suppose you've got a cite for that? I also remember sticking a hidden note into Orpheus Britannicus. Not that I can remember what I said, but I do remember that it was interesting/important.
Something I thought of the other day that it might be nice to a big concerto-delle-donne-style project on is Consort of instruments? Lengthy article in Grove gets virtually nothing here. Something to think about, maybe.
Oh, and if you want to see something reasonably amusing, check out Gaetano Guadagni. Make sure you read it all the way through. Cheers, Moreschi 16:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I wrote the new page after the original one was deleted. I have no affiliation with the company other than as a user of the product.
The article should have met NPOV standards.
Notable company requirements:
* ISBN 0976830299 * http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/10/03/netezza_annual_conference_roundup/
Many database related pages on Wikipedia link to that article.
Compare to the Bizgres article.

Hi. Someone has started a new opera category called 'pastoral opera' to include some very early works. Is it viable in your opinion? Also we have a new 'Work in progress' (provisional title) box at the top of the Opera Project page amd it would be good to have your input. Best. Kleinzach 21:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Humble thanks for your reversion of my evidently uninformed "correction" of spelling. I don't have the material available to me, and indeed it had crossed my mind that "Gracias" [sic] was verbatim. I'll know better in the future, and in my editing elsewhere as well! -- Cheers, Deborahjay 23:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
To be clear - I wrote the [sic] [sic] only in my note to you, here (above) -- wouldn't have presumed to do so on the page!
My brother's h.s. choir in L.A. sang the "Deo Gracias" in the early 1970s, and last year my music-major daughter's sang the "Wolcum Yole!" with hers (in Israel, incongruously enough, and certainly out of season :-) I haven't gotten up my nerve to suggest D.G. to the director as a follow-up, but as this is one of the few mixed choirs up here in the sparsely-populated north, it might go over big, and who knows, perhaps they could take it on the road...? Or to paraphrase, "Next year in Bethlehem...!" -- Cheers, Deborahjay 05:46, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Wish I could have been there. That looks like quite the turnout. When we had one in my burg only two people showed up: Angela and me. (That was fun though.) How was it? Antandrus (talk) 05:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes, it looks like it was a big success, and why not? The NY area has many Wikipedians, so it makes sense that we would have a vital group. I hope to make it next time. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 21:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your block note. I am working on a bot called User:PocKleanBot and as you say it has written the same template to a few pages. The reason for this is that it does keep a list of articles for which it has already been run but at this point its obviously not recalling values from it correctly. The bot is still in development but its very difficult to develop it without testing it occasionally and observing the output. I am aware this causes something of a nuisance for users and so left it as late as I could in the development process.
I have now corrected this problem I think, but it could cause the same problem again if unblocked and re-run.
What would you recommend?
PocklingtonDan 18:18, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about the cut/paste. Actually I have been trying to find out the right way to do this. If you can let me know I will be grateful. (Maybe I shouldn't tell you about my other crimes . . . .) - Kleinzach 00:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
