Welcome and thanks edit

Let me be the first to welcome you to WP and thank you for your recent contributions to various ambient music-related articles. As you've probably noticed there are several editors with serious ownership and original research/POV-pushing issues with a number of these articles, so expect to be attacked if you dare to disagree with them. Don't be intimidated though - they're full of hot air; just keep doing good work and your efforts will speak for themselves. If you have any questions feel free to drop me a message. --Gene_poole 06:35, 15 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi and thanks for your response. Don't worry - nobody is going to attack you if you stick to WP editing policies - you seem to have made a good start in that regard. My message was just a heads up; there are a number of editors who think they "own" any article relating to ambient music and actively attack people changing the content of those articles if they don't "approve". Just be aware of it, and try to ignore it if it happens. --Gene_poole 23:35, 15 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Invitation edit

Hi again. I'd like to invite you to take a look at Hearts of Space when you get a chance. There's a discussion on the talk page there concerning a proposed interview of the show's producers that might benefit from your input. This also has relevance to Space music and some related ambient music articles. --Gene_poole 06:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please don't be put off by the idiots. If you have some questions you'd like to include in the proposed interview, please feel free to add them. We need more good WP contributors like yourself. --Gene_poole 11:06, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Gerrard etc as spacemusic edit

Hi there. I really have a serious issue with your continued adding of Lisa Gerrard, Oregon and others to the spacemusic list on the basis of a single source. Unlike others on the list these artists have not created any space-themed recording, nor does anyone apart from one source refer to them as space music. If lots of other comentators refer to them as something other than spacemusic and one source says something else, we cannot give undue weight to that one source. Referring to them as spacemusic artists is misleading and wrong. We cannot continue promoting that notion in WP. --Gene_poole (talk) 00:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of INgrooves edit

 

A tag has been placed on INgrooves requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
