Community Band(s)

REF: your edits of Community bands There are now two pages, community band and community bands with different content. Which one should I edit? Can they be made one in the same? I did want to include references, since that is what I will draw additional content from. G. Moore 13:46, May 1, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your edits on the Brian Wells article - small steps towards the perfect collection of knowledge. -- BD2412 ^thimk 04:36, 2005 May 2 (UTC)

User:King Jimbo

Hey, mindspillage. Just wanted to give you notice that I warned User:King Jimbo a second time (after your mild warning), because he had defaced User:Isaac Rabinovitch's page (this edit [1]), inserting a picture and claiming Isaac had "vandalised" his own (which, to some extent is true. [2]). I don't want to take sides in that rather ridiculous skirmish, but judging from his contributions[3], King Jimbo is not a very productive user (albeit his edits were until now were also pretty harmless, if somewhat asinine), while Isaac seems to make more useful edits. Short story long, I'm turning to you because I saw your name on King Jimbo's page, and because I'll be away for the next few days (see my user page). I know vandal-watch probably isn't your field of expertise, but it would be good if you could keep an eye on these two for a while. Cheers. Phils 18:50, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome

Hey, just wanted to thank you for the kind welcome. Yes, I am a musician of sorts, currently at college studying composition. I play viola and piano, with varying degrees of success. I heard a recital which featured several Rebecca Clarke pieces, which is how I learned of her music. I'm not sure I can contribute much more to the Clarke article, but here's hoping it gets featured article status; there's already more here on Clarke than on some composers of greater reknown and stature. It ought to be nominated for inclusion in Wikipedia Omnimusica. Bobhobbit 23:36, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Verified?

Hi! Your vote on the Pandeism vfd says "Delete unless verified". Is the article as it stands now "verified" within your meaning of the term? (or at least, more so than Endorian Holocaust?) Cheers, -- BD2412 ^thimk 18:37, 2005 May 3 (UTC)

Nice decision

Hello.. This page warns me - "this page is 30 kilobytes long" - so, I will be brief - lol. I am happy at your decision to keep Family traditions. Somehow, I could re-do the article. Thanks. And, wish you all the best in your role as an administrator.--Bhadani 17:38, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

• • Thanks mam, have a nice day.--Bhadani 18:06, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Rebecca Clarke FAC

Hello again. It occurs to me that I should perhaps have posted my comments here or on the Rebecca Clarke talk page rather than under the FAC. What's the Wikiquette on such matters? I hope I made it clear enough that I like the article! --RobertG | (talk) 18:56, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Your RfA

Your welcome Kat, part of the reason why I voted for you is because you seem like a good user; I've seen quite a few of your edits on the RC too :)! Sorry I didn't respond recently..(finals).--Comrade Nick @)---^-- 20:56, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

I've seen you tirelessly clean out VfD—knowing that this is one of the more ungrateful jobs on the wiki, a hearty WikiThanks goes out to you for your efforts. Keep up the good work! JRM · Talk 20:13, 2005 May 7 (UTC)

About KIONGA Stamps

Hi! I'm the one who put Kionga stamps in such big discussion. And I'm informing you that you have create a duplicate entry with redirect that page to List of people on stamps of Portugal. If you see List of people on stamps of Mozambique you will find an item dedicated not only to Kionga but also to all the minor 'countries' (Inhambane, Lourenço Marques,...) who becames today Mozambique territory. This seems to be the wright think to do in order to avoid not only single line pages but specially to form the wright groups of countries.The teritory belongs today to Mozambique not Portugal. As List of people on stamps of Kionga was on VfD I decided not to redirect to Mozambique group while the discussion was going. Another think that I don't understand is why redirect that page to List of people on stamps of Portugal.If you considered this a correct grouping why not put in the same list Angola, Mozambique and all the others portuguese colonies? And what about France, Belgium, England, Italy, with their colonies??Can you consider the same for those countries? Or is Portugal a special case?--JPPINTO 00:10, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

re: If I've assumed correctly

--<Shush!>-- Don't tell anyone. If you don't tell I won't. :-)

Oh, wait, you advertize it on your home page...

p.s. That isn't always me, but it usually is.... at least till I move again.

Mazda Marimba or broomstick

That was hilarious!! Would that I knew just one person here in the office who would get it. Alas, not a one. Nada. Nice job! And on the seventh day J.K. Rowling saw that it was Good, and Petals fell in Petaluma ... Antandrus 15:48, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Possible impostors

I've been doing some impostor hunting lately, seeing as how we've had a rash of them lately and all, and you got the following hits: MindspiIIage (talk · contribs), MindspiIlage (talk · contribs), MindspilIage (talk · contribs). Of course, this may be nothing, but I thought I would let you know. – ClockworkSoul 05:06, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Hello, INTP

I'm INTJ. (Did the test years ago.) That is the most useful personality test that I've found. The only weak attribute is the P/J.... it just seems somewhat vaguely defined and of limited use--but that may have just been the book I was working out of. INT-s are the coolest personality type. All other personality types should bow before the INT-s.

- Pioneer-12 22:34, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Every time I take the MB I get a different type. I don't put much stock in it. Kelly Martin 23:51, May 11, 2005 (UTC)

Maybe you just have a split personality. :-) - Pioneer-12 23:58, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Hm, I just took the test again a couple nights ago (always used to be an INTP) and now I'm an INFJ (J borderline P). I think I'm going nuts ... no, I feel I'm going nuts .... aagh. (According to this, [4], maybe I should run for ArbCom. Not.) Antandrus 00:03, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Maybe your personality is changing, or maybe you are under some sort of covert external influence. Do you hear voices in your head? I used to hear voices in my head. I was worried, then I found out it was just a transceiver secretly implanted by the government to beam signals into my brain. Apparently, I was a part of "Project Centaur", a plan to create a covert army of superwarriors to fight the commie nazis should they ever invade. The project was a bust, but I did learn some kung-fu from all the hypno-training I received. I can break cinderblocks with my forehead and balance on one thumb--but I am psychologically unable to boil an egg... something about communist spies transmitting codes via eggshells and flowerpots. I used to be scared of flowerpots, by the way.... by I overcame that fear when I saved my superior from an attack by leather-clad, flowerpot throwing fem-nazis. (They're actually quite nice, if you get to know them.... Just don't insult der fuhrer or they'll put you in a legscissors.) I've told my tale to Dan Rather, but no one believes me, because all the evidence self-destructed in five seconds. But... if there's no evidence, then how do you explain the continuing existence of Antarctica? What's the Frequency, Kenneth? - Pioneer-12 00:19, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

p.s. Thanks for the source, Antandrus! According to that site, I am the "Mastermind Rational" [5] Hey, this personality test is even better then I thought! According to the profile, I should start raising an army... that or find an assistant named Pinky. - Pioneer-12 00:33, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

What are we going to do tonight, Pioneer-12? Mindspillage (spill yours?) 01:34, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm dead easy to peg, I think; I always get the same result and most people who know the test can guess me. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 00:08, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

I just checked my logs, the last time I took it I was an INTJ, but the time before that was INTP. I've also been ENTP. I think my E/I score depends on how depressed I am at the time I take the test.

As to a split personality, I've worked hard to avoid that. :) Kelly Martin 01:13, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

Deletion

That is unfortunate the deletion of Sports Internet Destination!, but thanks anyway. Alex Hammer, CEO, Sports Internet Destination!

Redlinx

Thanks! Yes indeedy. I was just about to go for a wander and think it through in my head ... hope you're having a good weekend as a newly minted B.A.! Antandrus (talk) 15:47, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Violas, jokes, and more

For most excellent humor in the field of music

Have a cookie. Ok, the joke about the various musicians standing in the field was about the funniest joke I've heard in a long time. It's so true: no first violinist is going anywhere for $100 :). Also, thanks for the excellent article on Rebecca Clark. I was a bit shamed after seeing this article on FAC, knowing that I'd never heard of this composer before. Whoops, now I know. Great, now I'll have to go out and buy some music just to absolve myself of this ignorance. Well, thanks for stopping by and saying hello. Cheers, Bratsche^{talk random} 17:50, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

WP:VIP

Hey. The user who created the article Iranian physics news has listed you as a vandal, since you closed the discussion of the vote and deleted the article. The ugly details can be seen at Wikipedia:Vandalism_in_progress#Vandal_voters. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 20:27, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Protected

Thanks for unprotecting them for a friendly - they were protected to the counter process bias vis a vis hasty deletion. I wanted them kept because even the small task of sorting the external links to their proper pages was still (small as it was) work in a positive direction, in contrast to hasty presumptive deletionism as an expression of excessive negativity - particularly in cases where the material is so plainly academic and valid. Thanks -SV|t 19:39, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Re: Welcome back

Thank you for welcoming me back. Sorry that I hadn't written to you sooner since your message seemed to get lost with the other messages. If you saw what I wrote on my user page, I put in a few self-imposed restrictions on myself so I would not get a very high wikistress again that caused me to leave in the first place. See ya around.

Military history of Puerto Rico

Hi, how are you? I submitted the above mentioned article to be considered for featured article status. I would be honored if you could take a look and express your opinon here: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Military history of Puerto Rico, Thank you very much Tony the Marine

Your welcome back

Thanks for your welcome back. I found the five pillars which helped enormously, and found that a time away from Wikipedia works wonders. By the way, I'm curious, did you ever see my reply to your detective work? --RobertG ♬ talk 16:56, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

No, I really wasn't worried about maintaining my secret identity! I was just making sure you'd got my congrats on your graduation… --RobertG ♬ talk 12:05, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Neofascism_and_religion

I am proposing a redirect from several endlessly contentious pages to a new page: Neofascism_and_religion. The three pages directly affected are Islamofascism, Islamic fascism, and Christian fascism. Any help you can give would be appreciated. :-) I am also posting this to several other folks. --Cberlet 17:24, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Lindsay Ashford

Hi Mindspillage!

I have closed the VfD on the Lindsay Ashford article. No complaints on your decision to declare it a "no consensus", there were 21 deletes and 11 keeps, but remember to close the debate. Sjakkalle 13:55, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome!

I wrote a paper on Der Corregidor this semester, so I had it on the brain. Looking forward to may happy edits. Microtonal 08:38, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

VFD wrapping

In the interests of saving your fingers and keyboard, might I draw your attention to {{oldvfd}} which is handy for labelling a page which has survived WP:VFD? HTH HAND --Phil | Talk 11:49, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

WTF happened here

I was just wandering around and found Dork. Has a VFD thing on it, but the VFD was over a long time ago. I haven't looked at it in depth, but since you work on VFD and such, I figured I'd just pass it off to you while I go code :p CryptoDerk 07:15, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

Tanks for the greetings

Hi there, and thanks for the greetings! If you play the basoon - why not do some simple recordings of it and publish them here? Just as an example on how a basoon sounds, not very many have heard a basoon (or know what it sounds like). --OverDriv3 10:32, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Greetings as well

Greetings! Having read your user page bio, I don't seem to know you. I'm also from the Central Florida region- Winter Springs, to be exact. I'm a high school student right now and I'm (now) the assistant principal cellist of a youth orchestra. Also, I'm a All-State musician. Right now I study with L. Stanton, maybe you've heard of her? She recently moved to Deland, though she only has a few (2 or 3 I think) private students right now. Ahh, I see you've taken Music Theory... fun fun fun. I took AP Music Theory last year, and dictation killed me... I'm surprised I got a 4 though... As you can see I'm an avid classical musicianist (is that a word? sounds cooler than "musician"...), and I'm also a "Brain Bowler" (term for academic quiz bowl in our county's competition)... thanks for dropping by and thanks for your dedication to Wikipedia!

New bassoon pics

Thanks a lot, i just added your Fox-Bassoon to the de:Fagott-Article. The Reed-photo is great, too (nice idea to put a ruler beside). If you are searching for soundfiles: i added Image:Bassoon_beethoven.ogg (4th Beethoven, 1st movement) and Image:Bassoon_rimsky.ogg (Sheherezade Solo) to the commons a month ago. Don't know, if the sound is clear enough for an 'expert', i just recorded it with a mini-microphone, but i think it's enough to get an impression of how a bassoon may sound. (Sorry for my english, i never learned it properly). Best wishes, 83.164.16.249 07:40, 31 May 2005 (UTC) (commons:User:Mezzofortist)
