Barnstar? Really? Cool. Here's where I put them all (the one) edit

  The College football Barnstar
For all you do to support college football and for never getting anything more than light applause, I award to the entire Wikipedia:WikiProject Marching band the College football barnstar. College football would not be the same without you.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:35, 27 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I'm trying to get members of the Psychology Project together and rate both the quality and importance of the Tree of Knowledge System. Hope you're interested. Have a great day! EPM 22:11, 17 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Robert W. Smith edit

Thank you for your effort to cleanup this article. However, upon closer review, Activemusician.com cannot be used as a source for this article, since all it does is mirror the Wikipedia article. For greater explanation, please see Talk:Robert W. Smith. If you can find any other sources that can verify the statements in the article, please use those instead. Again, thank you for your work on Robert W. Smith. -- Johnny06man 16:55, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Troy edit

No problem, regarding reverting that Troy "controversy". I haven't been active on the article lately, but I edited it a bit when it was back in its stub stage and its still on my watchlist. I grew up in southeast Alabama and both my parents are Troy alumni, so there's a bit of a connection there for me. AUTiger » talk 03:05, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

KKPsi Honoraries edit

Even if Chuck Norris was inducted at Gamma, he'd have to be registered with Nationals, and he's not on the prominent members list. We had the same issue with Dave Chappelle being voted in by a chapter (Central State) but not confirmed. — BrotherFlounder 03:15, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I am willing to accept your word on Chuck Norris, but Wikipedia demands a reliable published source. I'm not sure how one could be found in this instance. Cmadler 15:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I suggest that you add an image of his shingle to the article, in the prominent members section. (The article does need more images, after all!) As a side notes, do you know that this is THE Chuck Norris, as opposed to some student who happens to have the same name (it does happen), and also, how did you get a picture of his shingle? Cmadler 10:29, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
I undid your edit from August 26 that again added Chuck Norris to the Prominent Members section of the article. Reiterating what Cmadler said, I think we would all be willing to take your word for it, but until it is cited from a reliable source, it can't be in the article.

San Jose Task Force Invite edit

  You have been invited to join the San Jose Sharks task force, a task force under WikiProject Ice Hockey. We are dedicated to improving the San Jose Sharks-related articles on Wikipedia. You received this invitation due to your interest in San Jose Sharks and/or your many edits to San Jose Sharks articles. If you would like to join, please visit the task force page, and add your name to the list of active project members.

Thank you. LegoKontribsTalkM 04:22, 16 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

 

Please note that this task force is still unofficial, and I would like to have at least five members before asking for approval from WP:HOCKEY.

Thanks for signing up, and now it is official at Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/San Jose Sharks task force. Thanks LegoKontribsTalkM 04:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

You are not an idiot edit

A whole bunch of us trying to get vandals.... we stumble over each other all the time... I lost count how many times I have made a mess ;-) So no worries and keep having fun stomping on vandals. ;-) --CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 17:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Accusation of vandalism edit

Regarding this edit, it was not vandalism as you accuse in this edit summary. I noticed the category redlinks and removed them as a courtesy, thinking that the categories had been deleted or had never been created. This is not an uncommon practice here as Wikipedia even has bots to perform such housekeeping. As far as I know, there is no Wikipedia policy that prohibits you from including your user page in non-existent categories, so the fact that you reverted my edit is fine. The fact that you accused me of vandalism is not. Wikipedia is a community and things like that are divisive. Please read WP:VANDAL to understand what vandalism is. Also read WP:AGF since assuming good faith is so important to the project. Thank you and I look forward to working with you on WP:Marching band and other areas of Wikipedia. →Wordbuilder (talk) 20:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I don't make a habit out of going into other peoples' houses and "fixing" things such as lining up their wall art or dusting their mantle. Therefore, I find someone coming into my User Page, this tiny corner of Wikipedia that I call my home, and "fixing" things up rather vandalistic. Fliry Vorru (talk) 21:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
I guess that's the difference between you and me. If I'm at someone's house and the door to their fridge doesn't quite shut or a glass is precariously near the edge of a table or the faucet didn't get completely shut off and I happen by, I'll take a moment to help out. So far, no one has filed charges with the authorities, accusing me of vandalizing their property.
While you apparently still fail to understand or choose to ignore WP:VANDAL and WP:AGF, I'll steer clear of your little corner of Wikipedia. →Wordbuilder (talk) 21:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Oh, and reporting editors for non-vandalism doesn't make their "Wikipedia life hellish", it just makes admins wonder what you're getting so worked up about. →Wordbuilder (talk) 22:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your opinions and advice. Enjoy your Wikipedia and have a nice day. Fliry Vorru (talk) 01:07, 3 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

{{Marching-band-stub}} edit

Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. This is partly in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and partly so that those who regularly deal with stub articles know what stub types are likely to need re-sorting soon. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 04:16, 16 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image tagging for Image:2005 Atlantic hurricane season.ogg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:2005 Atlantic hurricane season.ogg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Phi Boota roota edit

Thanks for the correction. I was scanning the page to see if anything was out of place and that was the only organization that doesn't have a page built on Wiki--plus I was tracking the changes made by an anon IP that had been associated with vandalism. That's what I get for assuming. Maybe someone should create a page on it since it is an oddly-named group and probably has lots of members.Atlantabravz (talk) 11:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of National Band Association Hall of Fame of Distinguished Band Conductors edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article National Band Association Hall of Fame of Distinguished Band Conductors, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

File permission problem with File:Sound of the South Logo.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Sound of the South Logo.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 06:24, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
