Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:
Thanks for adding the hatnote and other fixes to this article. It's one of the little delights of Wikipedia that you can write on the most obscure thing and finds it and makes it better.
Also: shelf skewed. So thats what it's called - who knew? Cheers, Herostratus ( talk) 06:04, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi -- I know you are a seasoned editor, so I imagine you are familiar with one of the rules that has escaped my attention. I was wondering why you unpiped the link at The Kid.

Hello - I see you made a minor edit to the page for Jay Benedict - disambiguating the reference to the film Only Love. It now leads to a currently non-existent page. As a complete newbie to editing this seems a little odd. Is it sort of sitting there waiting for someone to come along and create a page for the film? Mickledore ( talk) 06:51, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
New issue, that you may have thoughts on.
When there are lists of people, the guideline calls for immediate removal of entries that lack both a wp article and a ref.
That struck me as a bot-worthy task. I've started a conversation on that regard, with my first focus being "Lists of people of nation x". But dab pages that are strictly of lists of people could, it would seem to me, benefit from the same bot attention. Thoughts?-- Epeefleche ( talk) 06:56, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Please do not cite Fowler for what he does not say: This is Fowler's class E ("Hyphens", p. 245): [Hyphens] attach closely to an active or passive participle an adverb or preposition preceding or following it that would not require hyphening to the parent verb (you put up, not put-up, a job, but the result is a put-up job). Fowler's proposed rule is to hyphenate if and only if there is a single accent on the first syllable; he observes that this is not usage, but that usage is so variable as to be better named caprice. Neither, therefore, will support "never hyphenate." The endnote to the 1998 edition suggests that matters have worsened, if possible, since 1926. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:51, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
I am making my 99,999th edit to thank you for offering support on the topic of hyphenation (though I noticed your anti-editcountitis userbox). You are rapidly approaching the 6-digit count yourself.

Hi Shelf, I read the pages you suggested, but did not raise a discussion about changing the page names. There are a lot of people who have been only slightly more than idle in discussing the "Athletics" page names and contents for years-- so I boldly tried to change the names again. The "move" function did not change that name as I thought it would, and now I have a little mess. Would you mind reading my talk page, and perhaps helping me out of the mess ? I have read the page on disambiguation, and your response here (just above) regarding dab pages. I agree, and believe a Google search should not land on a disambiguation page, as it does with "Athletics." TommyKirchhoff ( talk) 14:58, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
If you're going to remove the main definition of the term " fly-by-night" because it doesn't fit the tone of a disambiguation page, then at the very least you could move the definition to a separate page and point to it. Having a disambiguation page that doesn't include the most common meaning of the term (you know, the one that is referred to 99% of the time the phrase is used) is quite an oversight. I'd consider your change more harmful than good as you're sacrificing vital information for style.-- Subversive Sound ( talk) 16:21, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

I see you really think of yourself as a very wise and confident moderator who can simply delete pages without consent with the authors! And even more, you or someone else has deleted the main artist page! Look, I don't care who you are in real life, but I spent a lot of time filling out those pages and making them look cute, and you, sir, haven't even contacted me to back them up! What kind of a dork are you then?— Preceding unsigned comment added by A3000 ( talk • contribs)
If you would like to try to reintroduce these articles, beginning with the performer's article, you can contact an administrator who will provide copies of deleted articles, and then improve the articles by adding sources that establish notability. And if you need time to find those sources, you can work on the articles in your user sandbox (follow the link on that page after "find your user sandbox")--where they will not be subject to article standards for deletion--before putting them into article space.
And as to what kind of dork I am, I thought my user page made that clear: I'm a book dork. Cheers!-- ShelfSkewed Talk 17:10, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
I would like to point out to you that disambiguation pages are not articles; they are navigation pages for directing users to articles. I took your point regarding Fly by night, because there was no existing article, and split the material off to a separate page (although why you didn't just create an article in the first place, I don't know). But the extended definition you added to Weight (disambiguation) is unnecessary because the term itself links to the article on the subject. All that is required is a brief description to identify the topic--the content is already in the target article. Before you edit more disambiguation pages, may I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the Manual of Style of for disambiguation pages. Regards, -- ShelfSkewed Talk 17:38, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
On both I Need You (album) and I Need You (LeAnn Rimes song) were unnecessary removals, especially on the I Need You album as that has to do with Rimes' album and not the song so to put the disambiguation and the best example to show is Speak Now there's the album by Taylor Swift then the song by her. And I suggest not removing the one on Speak Now as a consensus was made on the talk page. So please stop removing things that shouldn't be removed. Thank you!

Sorry but my stand is this: Do it for all or do it for none. You can't just pick and chose on Wikipedia. That's how edit wars start because of all that picking and choosing of the rules. It really needs to stop cause it's ridiculous. JamesAlan1986 * talk 22:16, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Tree (set theory)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other uses, see Tree (disambiguation).
In set theory, a tree is a partially ordered set ( poset) in which there is a single unique minimal element (called theroot) and in which the set of elements less than a given element is well ordered...
Here, the hatnote is inappropriate because a reader who is following links within Wikipedia or using Wikipedia's own search engine would not have ended up at tree (set theory) if one were looking for other types of trees, since tree does not redirect there.
However, a hatnote may still be appropriate when even a more specific name is still ambiguous. For example, Matt Smith (comics) might still be confused for the comics illustrator Matt Smith (illustrator).
A hatnote may also be appropriate in an unambiguously named article when an ambiguous term redirects to it, as explained in the " Proper uses" section above.
Look at their example then look at what your saying and see how you are wrong. No where does it say that what I have posted is wrong. JamesAlan1986 * talk 22:25, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
I'd also like to point this out: I Need You (LeAnn Rimes album). Click that where does it go? JamesAlan1986 * talk 22:28, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Here, the hatnote is inappropriate because a reader who is following links within Wikipedia or using Wikipedia's own search engine would not have ended up at tree (set theory) if one were looking for other types of trees, since tree does not redirect there.
This is a lie cause I've actually done that before by mistake which people do clicking on the wrong thing when they hit the other. Been there done that several times and to say they wouldn't is WRONG! LOL! JamesAlan1986 * talk 22:32, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
If I'm quoting this right. <blockqoute>A hatnote may also be appropriate in an unambiguously named article when an ambiguous term redirects to it, as explained in the " Proper uses"</blockqoute>
So since I Need You (LeAnn Rimes album) redirects to that page to post what I have posted isn't wrong. And I also wanna add that I don't start discussions on here to change things as no one listens it's all about rules instead of respecting peoples opinion and I've been bashed enough on here so screw doing that. JamesAlan1986 * talk 22:36, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
From now I'm just gonna sit by and let crap happen and when everything gets vandalized or changed I ain't doing nothing about it cause what's the point? I'm just gonna let things go by and not change what people do cause there's no point. I'm tired of being bashed for my opinions cause I don't think we should set guidelines that contradict themselves and I'm tired of bowing to other people who wanna do that.

I am terribly sorry that the above name does not have More or More Radio in its title name, even if it has a new name. You should only put in a name thats similar like More Radio and More FM. In articles like "More - may refer to" in theory should start with "[[More" followed by a different name - like a surname for example. All articles with " - may refer to" in general usually start with same word at the front you may find or sometimes within the title.

I like to further comment that The Breeze (Frome & West Wiltshire) is now under a new ownership "Celador" see also: The Breeze (radio network), has different DJs with 'local' progamming now from completely different studios Bristol in the south west, UK (includes the breakfast show and the drive home show) and and 'networked shows are from Southampton in Hampshire located in the South, UK, so therefore it is a completely new station on the same frequency, but is not the same station, while More Radio stations in Swindon, west Wiltshire and Bath used to be owned by One Gold Radio Ltd and have nothing to do with one another. You could try to rephrase it in another way perhaps. You also forgot to put in the country the "United Kingdom" in the about sources within the artices as not all New Zealanders know that Swindon is in the United Kingdom.

I really hope you do forgive me and what I have done has not offend you in any way. I like to tell you a bit about myself I live in a small market town in Devizes, Wiltshire in the UK. I am 44 years old and took an interest in radio stations (sounds sad I know), so I know somethings about radio but not everything I have to say. But I do have other things that interest me like cars (especially old cars). I sometimes watch Top Gear on BBC Two which is different to the one in the US. I also love computer games both on Xbox 360 and Playstion 3 like Call of Duty, Need for Speed and Tiger Woods PGA Golf, to name but a few. I am generally a very nice person, but at the same time 'to the point' kind of person and sometimes I like to be fair. I understand that you are American from Missouri. I hope I spelt that correctly. It has been nice talking to you. I been on Wikipedia only for a few months and I am still not sure to upload images properly. I still trying to understand what a "Non-free Rationale" is, please forgive me. For a person that knows about Wikipedia more than I do whose been on it for five years, I would like some help please, if you don't mind. Thank you.Steveojavano 22:29, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
I know one article name like More Radio (Swindon) does not have to have disambigs, but that not what I am getting at. I am simply trying to explain that More Radio and The Breeze are two totally different stations. The Breeze Network is a group of Breeze stations that includes: The Breeze (Frome & West Wiltshire), The Breeze (Bridgwater and West Somerset), The Breeze (Bristol & Bath) and The Breeze (South Coast). These operate as one station, with simultaneous programmes, except for breakfast and drive home shows which separates The Breeze (South Coast) from The Breeze (South West) and all operated under Celador Radio. Look up the website http://www.thebreeze.com More Radio on the other hand only now serves in Swindon (a stand alone station) and not West Wiltshire nor Frome and not even Bath for that matter. So why do you think I am trying to hide something from someone? I am not trying to hide anything. But it does not have to be there A hatnote should only be included when two (or more than two articles are very similar or have a similar name . Please try to understand my point of view. But to settle this argument peacefully, I added two former More Radio stations now called The Breeze in the More Radio article, but not the More FM article, because in New Zealand they already have a radio station with the same name, see: The Breeze (New Zealand), it might get a bit confusing. It usually does help to add another location. Okay, so there might only be one Swindon on the entire planet, but how many Westburys or Bristols or Christchurch's do you know of?. I know there are several of them, so it does help to add a region, a state or even a country and therefore helps the 'user' more comfortably. All I ask is, please try to be happy with it. It wouldn't hurt, not really. I am only trying to be helpful and not trying to hide from something which isn't really necessary.Steveojavano 00:24, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Look at their example then look at what your saying and see how you are wrong. No where does it say that what I have posted is wrong. JamesAlan1986 * talk 22:25, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
I'd also like to point this out: I Need You (LeAnn Rimes album). Click that where does it go? JamesAlan1986 * talk 22:28, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Here, the hatnote is inappropriate because a reader who is following links within Wikipedia or using Wikipedia's own search engine would not have ended up at tree (set theory) if one were looking for other types of trees, since tree does not redirect there.
This is a lie cause I've actually done that before by mistake which people do clicking on the wrong thing when they hit the other. Been there done that several times and to say they wouldn't is WRONG! LOL! JamesAlan1986 * talk 22:32, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
If I'm quoting this right. <blockqoute>A hatnote may also be appropriate in an unambiguously named article when an ambiguous term redirects to it, as explained in the " Proper uses"</blockqoute>
So since I Need You (LeAnn Rimes album) redirects to that page to post what I have posted isn't wrong. And I also wanna add that I don't start discussions on here to change things as no one listens it's all about rules instead of respecting peoples opinion and I've been bashed enough on here so screw doing that. JamesAlan1986 * talk 22:36, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
From now I'm just gonna sit by and let crap happen and when everything gets vandalized or changed I ain't doing nothing about it cause what's the point? I'm just gonna let things go by and not change what people do cause there's no point. I'm tired of being bashed for my opinions cause I don't think we should set guidelines that contradict themselves and I'm tired of bowing to other people who wanna do that.

Thanks for improving that - I should have done it that way myself, but was in the middle of a discussion about SHAPE (molecular biology) itself and it didn't occur to me... -- stillnotelf is invisible 15:38, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Disambiguation for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview?

Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. - Mabeenot ( talk) 23:23, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
I am terribly sorry that the above name does not have More or More Radio in its title name, even if it has a new name. You should only put in a name thats similar like More Radio and More FM. In articles like "More - may refer to" in theory should start with "[[More" followed by a different name - like a surname for example. All articles with " - may refer to" in general usually start with same word at the front you may find or sometimes within the title.

I like to further comment that The Breeze (Frome & West Wiltshire) is now under a new ownership "Celador" see also: The Breeze (radio network), has different DJs with 'local' progamming now from completely different studios Bristol in the south west, UK (includes the breakfast show and the drive home show) and and 'networked shows are from Southampton in Hampshire located in the South, UK, so therefore it is a completely new station on the same frequency, but is not the same station, while More Radio stations in Swindon, west Wiltshire and Bath used to be owned by One Gold Radio Ltd and have nothing to do with one another. You could try to rephrase it in another way perhaps. You also forgot to put in the country the "United Kingdom" in the about sources within the artices as not all New Zealanders know that Swindon is in the United Kingdom.

I really hope you do forgive me and what I have done has not offend you in any way. I like to tell you a bit about myself I live in a small market town in Devizes, Wiltshire in the UK. I am 44 years old and took an interest in radio stations (sounds sad I know), so I know somethings about radio but not everything I have to say. But I do have other things that interest me like cars (especially old cars). I sometimes watch Top Gear on BBC Two which is different to the one in the US. I also love computer games both on Xbox 360 and Playstion 3 like Call of Duty, Need for Speed and Tiger Woods PGA Golf, to name but a few. I am generally a very nice person, but at the same time 'to the point' kind of person and sometimes I like to be fair. I understand that you are American from Missouri. I hope I spelt that correctly. It has been nice talking to you. I been on Wikipedia only for a few months and I am still not sure to upload images properly. I still trying to understand what a "Non-free Rationale" is, please forgive me. For a person that knows about Wikipedia more than I do whose been on it for five years, I would like some help please, if you don't mind. Thank you.Steveojavano 22:29, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
I know one article name like More Radio (Swindon) does not have to have disambigs, but that not what I am getting at. I am simply trying to explain that More Radio and The Breeze are two totally different stations. The Breeze Network is a group of Breeze stations that includes: The Breeze (Frome & West Wiltshire), The Breeze (Bridgwater and West Somerset), The Breeze (Bristol & Bath) and The Breeze (South Coast). These operate as one station, with simultaneous programmes, except for breakfast and drive home shows which separates The Breeze (South Coast) from The Breeze (South West) and all operated under Celador Radio. Look up the website http://www.thebreeze.com More Radio on the other hand only now serves in Swindon (a stand alone station) and not West Wiltshire nor Frome and not even Bath for that matter. So why do you think I am trying to hide something from someone? I am not trying to hide anything. But it does not have to be there A hatnote should only be included when two (or more than two articles are very similar or have a similar name . Please try to understand my point of view. But to settle this argument peacefully, I added two former More Radio stations now called The Breeze in the More Radio article, but not the More FM article, because in New Zealand they already have a radio station with the same name, see: The Breeze (New Zealand), it might get a bit confusing. It usually does help to add another location. Okay, so there might only be one Swindon on the entire planet, but how many Westburys or Bristols or Christchurch's do you know of?. I know there are several of them, so it does help to add a region, a state or even a country and therefore helps the 'user' more comfortably. All I ask is, please try to be happy with it. It wouldn't hurt, not really. I am only trying to be helpful and not trying to hide from something which isn't really necessary.Steveojavano 00:24, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
