Peter Cox Bio edit

Hi there. Love the Go West pic you've uploaded. Great stuff! I remember when they looked like that; they both look different now, but then again so do I. I have been communicating with Peter's rep asking for a recent pic to be uploaded-still pending alas. Also have a bio from them that needs editing (*cough* lots of it!) for tone. Do you have any interest in helping with a rewrite? BTW Pete & Go West have a great FaceBook following with lots of adoring fans that upload pics from their gigs all over the UK. Don't you just love Twitter? Bye for now. ~Geaugagrrl talk 04:20, 3 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Introduction edit

Hi, I'm a member of the musicians work group, but found far too many pages missing infoboxes and photographs. I've been (mostly) copyediting for style, and grammar the best I can, but found myself a few months ago irked at the lack of images in an online encyclopedia. I was 99% computer illiterate when I began editing around 2006-7 (first I had an IP address, but registered in 2007). Would you be willing to give me advice about rather simple things I never learned? I've uploaded hundreds of photos and placed them in the past couple of months, but I go searching on Flickr mainly, and am unsure of other methods to upload both SA-BY-CC images and don't know how to fill out the justification forms for reduced album covers for album pages or sound clips on pages (copyright issues even when the clips are only seconds long; and the images are shrunken and unusable in any other fashion). Would you help me with this, or at least answer foolish questions from time to time? I'd be very appreciative. --leahtwosaints (talk) 23:34, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, forgot to mention that I know absolutely nothing about Commons. That's the real problem for me. I asked several Admins here on en.wikipedia, and they admitted they'd never used it. Amazing. But I don't know how to put things in categories or anything, and it appears that you and I have attended to quite a few music pages here so we have some of that in common. Please help me learn? --leahtwosaints (talk) 00:12, 24 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

David Bryson edit

Greetings- I wanted to thank you for adding such a fine photo of David Bryson -something I'd long planned to do, but was slowed down after adding Vickrey, Immergluck, and others. Thanks for your support of the Counting Crows, and the Wikipedia!--Leahtwosaints (talk) 09:37, 27 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi! edit

I am an italian user. I watch your photos with Quinn, the autistic boy. For the case, you see it yet? You can make him another photo to enrich the topic of autism? By Super-Enciclopedico — Preceding unsigned comment added by Super-Enciclopedico (talkcontribs) 13:37, 18 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Crowded House photo at Commons edit

Your file File:Crowded-house1.JPG is being used in Crowded House and List of awards and nominations received by Crowded House. I adjusted the old url to a newer position on the same overall website. Is it possible to provide a WP-friendly licence per OTRS? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 20:25, 23 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Your content in Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision museum exhibition edit

Good evening,

My name is Lotte Baltussen, and I work at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. We are the archive of Dutch public broadcasters and hold many other types of audiovisual heritage as well. We have recently opened our new exhibition "3FM Presents: Your Serious Radio", which looks back at the last 50 years of pop music on the radio.

One of the interactives of our exhibition is a videomapping installation that depicts a teen room. When visitors enter the exhibition, they provide information that builds up their profile: their year of birth, gender and the favourite radio show, song, musical genre from their teens. This information is used to recreate their teen room; a sparse white space with 25 different elements such as a white bed, desk, and couch that are projected upon when a visitor activates his or her profile. We've divided the teen room into 10 time periods: 1965-1969, 1970-1974 and so forth.

In creating the videomapping, we have used countless free to use images, textures and patterns, among which is your picture of Robert Smith. We'd like to thank you very much for making your content available and thus making it possible us to use it. You can find a complete overview of the content used here, a blog post about the whole process here and pictures of the videomapping here, so you can see your content in action.

Thanks again!

All best,
