Chaztempest

Welcome!

To administrator, Am thinking of putting the following into your literary page/history: C.B.Tempest had a book published in 2002, `Trouble: the King's Cross Journals' on `larkin' publishing. His play, `Burst: a warning from recent history' was performed by the `South London Theatre' in March 2003.

Please let me know if this may go in your article. Chaz TempestChaztempest (talk) 14:40, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Chaztempest, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

I also noticed your comment at Administrators of Wikipedia. Usually such comments are reserved for the respective article's talk page. In this case, it is Talk:Matt Johnson (singer) and I moved it there. I should also note that there is not a single administrator on wikipedia. There are close to 1,000. Ordinary users like you and I are called editors. As to the copyright issue you raise, I do not know the answer, but I suspect it is not a problem. Feel free to leave me a message if you need any further help with wikipedia. Cheers and happy editing! --Kchase02 (T) 09:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean linking an external website into a wikipedia page, you'd do it with a single pair of square brackets: [http://www.google.com] which produces [1]. If you want to name it something other than a number, then add a space and put a name, like so: [http://www.google.com Google], producing Google. Check out Wikipedia:How to edit a page for more info or feel free to ask me again. --Kchase02 (T) 19:38, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see you've figured it out. Well done. --Kchase02 (T) 21:05, 6 June 2006 (UTC) Spoke to soon. Msg me if you need help. --Kchase02 (T) 21:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Hopefully have figured it out! IE tho' it shows in `my contributions' - the history - because I wiped it on version 3 it now doesn't exist. Q: When I edit a page then mark `watch this space' and save the page, does the edit go immediately onto your wiki web site/internet? Q: Is it different for sign in/login people?

If you check "watch this page", then the page is added to your watchlist, which you can view by clicking "my watchlist" next to "my contributions". Anonymous IP editors don't get watchlists, only those with accounts, like us. Whether you watch the page or not, when you click "save page", the new version is the one that is viewable. Check out Wikipedia:Introduction 2 and Wikipedia:Tutorial. Just leave a note here if you have more questions or need help with something. Cheers and happy editing! --Kchase02 T 10:14, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Spirits (The The album)

From Spirits (The The album) you posted,

Does this album exist? Before The The/Matt Johnson signed to a major label only three records were made: Singles: `Controversial Subject'(V. rare)

        `Cold Spell Ahead'

Note: the first half later re-made as `Uncertain Smile'. Album: `Soul Mining' 4AD Records. HOWEVER Matt did make a highly experimental recording circa 1978 (one track being the Marble Index as a four piece, various doodles, ends with `Space Monkeys' ie various voices hi/low pitched!). Another recording: various outakes gigs/home/studio with Keith Laws. (Featuring `Myra's got an aunt?') Q: What ever became of Keith? Chaztempest 10:30, 8 June 2006 (UTC)Chaz Tempest.

• This (Spirits (The The album)) is the wrong place for a discussion a better location would have been Talk:The The. How ever the addition to the article The The of the Spirits (The album) was by a anon editor and there is a chance that it is bogus and if unverifiable WP:V should be deleted.--blue520 11:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

After a quick look around via google I found this [2], so it may not be bogus, but that web ref would not count as a reliable source.--blue520 11:34, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Dear administrator, re thethe.com. It looks like Matt's legit website. He writes about the early days/recordings with alacrity; it's in the details...

Hi Chaztempest

Sorry to contact you in this inappropriate way, but I've been trying to track down an email address for a while with no success. I've no idea how to use wikipedia so please accept my apologies for just dumping this message in the wrong place. Feel free to delete it. I'm writing (or more accurately editing) a book about The The. It's not a biography of The The, more a collection of mini-biographies of fans and contributors over the last 30 years. You're on page 1, and I am absolutely sure you have a million more stories to tell than most about the early days and it would be great if you could get in touch (even if you don't want to contribute, it'll save me trying to stalk you for another month!). My email is the does-what-it-says-on-the-tin thethebook@gmail.com.

Keith's a Professor of Psychology at Univ of Herts now, if you didn't find that out yet.

Thanks in advance

Lee Harrison

Stewart Home

I fixed things up a bit on the section of the Stewart Home article (it had some signature tags which should just be on talk pages.) Do you have some reference for the material you mention? --Larrybob (talk) 17:37, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
