Re: Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance
Thank you for helping to review this list. I responded to your concern on the FL nomination page--feel free to let me know if you require any additional feedback or if you have any other concerns that need to be addressed. Thanks! --Another Believer (Talk) 04:24, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks again. You are welcome to review another Grammy Award nomination for FL status here, if interested. Keep up the great work! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:20, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:37, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello GreatOrangePumpkin, thanks for your message. It may be worthwhile you looking at User:The Rambling Man/FLC things to check to see what you need check on your list. I see several things that could be fixed. Go through the advice on the checklist one line at a time and see if your list is okay. All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 15:40, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Hello again. Yes, sorry, I meant the list of awards. That was the page I was looking at. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:56, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Doesn't look like you've taken any of the advice on the the page I linked to...? The Rambling Man (talk) 17:15, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
I took a quick look at List of awards and nominations received by Santana and do not think it is ready for FL. The language is rough in spots ("major" spelled as "mayor", plus other examples), and why is the British Guinness World Records book called "american" (if it were "American", it should be upper case), and why is the Guinness book mentioned and linked twice in the lead? This is just a quick glance. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 17:09, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Brussels sports
Hi. I was hasty in deleting your edit about the Brussels Ladies Open. I just assumed it was non-notable and didn't actually check. Sorry. And yes, Brussels should have a sports section, but given that I don't really care about sports, I'm not the one to add it. Cheers, Oreo Priest talk 13:20, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Van Morrison
I understand that you want to assist and improve the photos here- I can point you to a whole bunch of photos in Wikimedia Commons that I recently talked a German photographer to allow us to upload with the CC-BY-SA license from Creative Commons, and there are over 200 photos in his collection! However, User:Agadant brought that article on Van Morrison to GA status with the work on it being mostly hers! Even though we should not WP:OWN, I know it is hard to allow others to make big changes in our own little work area. Do you know what I mean? I would leave her in peace for now; she deserves it only a few months after getting the page to GA rank. I will mention to two great photograph editors here to have them look to see if they can improve on the photo. Honestly, Van Morrison is very shy and it is difficult to find good photos of him; she did a great job! So I hope you understand, and I'll ask another editor about improving that photo, OK? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 04:07, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Peer review request
Hello GreatOrangePumpkin. I hope you can review the article of So Yesterday. There might be problems with the Background and composition section. It'd be cool if you could check the sections and point out my mistakes. If you could, please correct the composition section (assuming you're into music). Thanks.. Novice7 Talk 14:30, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- I saw you're working on Santana discography. Can I make a suggestion? In the studio albums section, there are too may certifications for Supernatural. It'd easy for readers to understand if certifications of only the regions given on chart positions are included. Just my suggestion. Novice7 Talk 14:34, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks.. About composition, can you do anything? Novice7 Talk 14:46, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, okay, see the edits I just made here, we've got to make sure there's no redirects, if so, then they need fixed (changed). Then, yes, I think this can be an FL. Best, --Discographer (talk) 16:09, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, here's an example: say you click on this Shango, and it says redirected in very small writing under the title. This then must be corrected to avoid that redirect, so when you click on it next time, after it's corrected, it will show as Shangó. Comprehend? Best, --Discographer (talk) 16:52, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think two versions can be nominated simaltaneously, as it comes into conflict with the nomination process itself. Might you merge the best parts of both into one and take it from there. Best, --Discographer (talk) 18:13, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Edit summary
A recent edit you made to Hasna(film)2010 used the edit summary "Disambiguated: Santhanam → Santhanam (actor), panel → panel painting, psyche → psyche (psychology) using Dab solver". However, the edit removed a speedy deletion tag, so the edit summary was very misleading. I don't know anything about Dab solver, so maybe it has a bug which caused this problem. You may like to be careful to look out for this problem. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:44, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry I missed out the title of the article when I first posted the above message, but I have filled it in now. The reason you can't find it in your contribs is that the article has now been deleted. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:31, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Could you please fix the licensing, sourcing and author information on the images you uploaded? Thanks. J Milburn (talk) 16:28, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- Erm, well, sorry, but there is. You incorrectly list yourself as the author, incorrectly claim to release it into the public domain, and so on. If images have improper licensing, they will wind up deleted. You're just creating a lot of work for everyone else in uploading them improperly. If you are not willing to abide by the image policies, please don't upload any images. J Milburn (talk) 19:29, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
I've just seen that, as well as the fact you're yet to deal with this, some of your other images have this problem. Could you please take this seriously? It's not the job of other editors to run around cleaning up after you- could you please not upload any more pictures until you have dealt with the issues?

List of Ambassadors from Russia to South Korea and North Korea
Please see Talk:List of Ambassadors from Russia to South Korea and North Korea#AfD. I turned the page into a redirect, which makes sense if you speculate that someone else is likely to make the same kind of mistake.
In my view, the better option is to delete the page entirely. DGG seems to suggest that this is an issue you and I can resolve. If you agree with redirect, you need do nothing more. If you agree with deletion, you will find two plausible options for a speedy deletion of the page. Simply post one of them at the top of the page and someone else will handle the technical aspects of removal. --Tenmei (talk) 03:21, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Eric Clapton discography
This is not vandalism, it is a content dispute, and you are both now in breach of 3RR. I've just reverted the latest addition on the basis of "No consensus" and will advise the IP to justify his edit on the article's Talk page. If he doesn't, I'll block for disruptive editing, but he clearly is not getting it that he should discuss this properly. Cheers. Rodhullandemu 17:48, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:01, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
