The Minor Barnstar For catching the tiny but significant things on Wikipedia, I award Keraunoscopia this tiny but significant star. Liquidluck✽talk 01:33, 19 January 2010 (UTC) Because tiny things have a habit of growing. Thanks again! Liquidluck✽talk 01:33, 19 January 2010 (UTC) Fair use rationale for File:Kalmah 12 gauge album cover.jpg Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kalmah 12 gauge album cover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILYsock(TALK) 06:48, 20 January 2010 (UTC) Y Thank you for the quick response! I added the {{album cover fur}} template to bring the album cover in accordance with Wikipedia policy. I also removed the no-fair-use template. – Kerαunoςcopia◁talk 07:17, 20 January 2010 (UTC) It's alright with me. It's just good to know the concern has been addressed. -FASTILYsock(TALK) 07:33, 20 January 2010 (UTC) Miley Cyrus photo Hey, I was just wondering about your recent edit at Miley Cyrus where you had to create a new version of the Academy Awards picture of Miley because you said the original crop was "squeezed"? When I cropped the photo it was weird what happened... it looked squeezed at first but then when I refreshed the page or went into another browser altogether, the newly cropped picture fit normally. Can you check my revision here once again and see if the photo still looks "squeezed" to you? I just wanted to know if it looks normal now to others as well (it did look squeezed for me at first). It's weird how Wikipedia works... I'm not sure what went wrong. We can still keep your newly created picture but I just wanted to see if the image still looks squeezed. Thanks for your help. — CIS (talk | stalk) 15:43, 20 January 2010 (UTC) Hi CIS, I checked your revision and it looks normal. I really don't know what the cause of the squeezing was. If it hadn't been squeezed, possibly I would have fixed the contrast in the image anyway. (As subtle as I kept the sharpening, when the image is shrunk down to its current "infobox" size, it begins to look "over-sharpened.") If you think the alternate looks better, feel free to change it! I really only got involved because the squeeze stood out so much. –Kerαunoςcopia◁talk 21:05, 20 January 2010 (UTC) Hey again! Yeah, I can't figure out what was wrong with that picture and why it was getting squeezed (at least for the first little while), but it's happened to me before when cropping photos so I just wanted to find out if others were still seeing a squeezed photo after refreshing the page. The contrast and other editing you did to the photo looks great! I have no problems keeping it, I was just curious as to the squeezing issue. Thanks again for your help with that! Cheers. — CIS (talk | stalk) 12:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC) Speedy deletion declined: Stone Temple Pilots' sixth studio album Hello Keraunoscopia. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Stone Temple Pilots' sixth studio album, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Does not redirect to a different or incorrect namespace. Thank you. GedUK  18:40, 23 January 2010 (UTC) I misunderstood the definition of WP:R2; I thought it was referring to redirects in general, except those for Category:, Template:, etc... Thank you for letting me know! – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 19:06, 23 January 2010 (UTC) That's alright. Redirects for Deletion is probably the best venue for this. GedUK  19:10, 23 January 2010 (UTC) Avril Lavigne I understand what you're saying, but for instance Lavigne's started recording her first album in 2001, but the section says 2002.......and she started recording her second studio album in 2003, but the section says 2004.....so, why shouldnt the section of her fourth album be the same??.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Detty2.0 (talk • contribs) 16:41, 29 January 2010 (UTC) Barnstar The Original Barnstar For your excellent work on the Wintersun article :) Mushroom (Talk) 04:05, 31 January 2010 (UTC) Orphaned non-free media (File:Mary_fahl_the_other_side_of_time.jpg) Thanks for uploading File:Mary_fahl_the_other_side_of_time.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 17:51, 3 February 2010 (UTC) You guys are so quick! I am in the process of starting up the article and thought I would throw the cover up first as a means of efficiency. I noticed it wasn't happy with that; next time I'll add the cover after the article page has been created. Thank you for notifying me! – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 17:59, 3 February 2010 (UTC) Mary Fahl I believe as the author or creator of the category, you can simply add {{db-author}} to have it speedily deleted. For the most part, eponymous categories are just unnecessary. As for my username, nice job figuring that out. I'll split it up this way, and you should be able to see my various geek interests. -- Star|Cheers|Peaks|News|Lost|Wars 21:01, 4 February 2010 (UTC) Thank you I will delete it : ) I like peaks too (Colorado native) – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 21:18, 4 February 2010 (UTC) File:Weilandsuit2008.jpg Your speedy tagging of File:Weilandsuit2008.jpg was inappropriate, because you tagged it on en.wiki. The image is not hosted on en.wiki, so therefore en.wiki admins cannot delete the image. The image is hosted on the Commons, and simply "shows through" to en.wiki. Therefore, you need to repeat your deletion request at the Commons. -Andrew c [talk] 17:38, 7 February 2010 (UTC) Of course, I should have realized that. Thank you for letting me know! – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 18:34, 7 February 2010 (UTC) Category:Mary Fahl albums I restored the category. MrKIA11 (talk) 13:00, 9 February 2010 (UTC) Thanks MrKIA11 – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 15:18, 9 February 2010 (UTC) Wintersun Track list No problem, it's what I'm here for. I have a copy of Wintersun's debut album so I knew there was a track missing on here. Glad I could be of help, even if it was only a small contribution. King of Judah —Preceding unsigned comment added by King of Judah (talk • contribs) 12:13, 12 February 2010 (UTC) Bill Why the need to remove the wiki link ? The word 'bill' has numerous, and sometimes totally unconnected meanings, in English. Might not the 'international' reader somewhat appreciate this clarification ? Derek R Bullamore (talk) 02:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC) It needs to be disambiguated, but "bill" being wikilinked to Billboard is incorrect. I'm merely undoing the "Billboard" connection. I don't know what "bill" would link to otherwise. Obviously you can reconnect it, but it would need to be more specific than "Billboard." Apologies for the hassle. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 02:15, 14 February 2010 (UTC) unwelcome welcome Seriously, I appreciate your welcome but do you always talk like trade agent or school teacher? Just revert mockery and move on to something else. Don't make wikipedia sound like serious business™, kthx —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.89.101.156 (talk) 09:05, 15 February 2010 (UTC) Alice The link is working but it needs an account to verify it. Wikipedia is not againt that kind of reference. It's the only reliable source for Bubbling Under positions. Decodet (talk) 14:12, 16 February 2010 (UTC) It works fine now; I swear that yesterday, clicking on it took me to a "Bad Command" page or something... just a glitch I think, possibly on my end. I re-read the WP:PAYWALL policy and you're right. Verifiability doesn't always equate to ease of access. I re-added the information (someone had removed it completely). Cheers! –Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 18:42, 16 February 2010 (UTC) I should have clarified: this is in regards to the article Alice (Avril Lavigne song). I'm not sure what happened on the singles section of the Lavigne discography, whether you wanted the information included or not. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 22:13, 16 February 2010 (UTC) Response to message here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:58.165.122.22 Hi. I actually didn't mean to revert your edit - just the one before yours, but I dunno, I must have noobed it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.191.90 (talk) 09:13, 18 February 2010 (UTC) Hello. No problem : ) –Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 09:51, 18 February 2010 (UTC) Re: That text, didin't have the tag Ref, so i think that doesn't stay here. See pt:Alice (canção de Avril Lavigne) for more imformation, all the text have ref. Vitor Mazuco Msg 21:55, 19 February 2010 (UTC) I think I explained it to you already: the entire section "Concept" is covered by a single source, the YouTube video. Why on earth would paragraphs need to be referenced each and every time there's a new paragraph? You can change the wording if you don't like it, but do not remove entire sections simply because you don't understand where the source is coming from. And you can do whatever you want on your language Wikipedia, but on the English Wikipedia, the article to Alice (Avril Lavigne song) follows the guidelines very closely. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 21:59, 19 February 2010 (UTC) Re: Alice Didn't know that, thank you ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 03:53, 21 February 2010 (UTC) No problem, Cheers! – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 04:01, 21 February 2010 (UTC) Exclamation points Hi, I saw your edits last night about the "!vote" exclamation points, and I want to explain what was going on with that. Strange as it looks, it is a custom at Wikipedia, intended to indicate that consensus is not determined simply by counting votes. It's explained at Wikipedia:Polling is not a substitute for discussion#Straw poll guidelines, near the bottom of that section. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:02, 23 February 2010 (UTC) Wow... whoops! Apologies for removing those; I was wondering why there were so many examples of them. Thank you for letting me know. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 23:59, 23 February 2010 (UTC) LDR Glad to see that the LDR citation style is what you wanted. (this discussion) I've love to see it taken to the next level, so that only a footnote number appears in the edit window, but I was happy to see they could create the LDR concept within the existing software. I'm slowly trying to push this concept, hope you will join me. If you are interested in citation styles, you may be interested to know that there is work on a new version of the reftools gadget. Wikipedia_talk:RefToolbar#Please_try_the_new_version.21. I just found this today, and plan to look to see what new features it has, and to propose ways to automatically create in LDR format. Not sure whether it is feasible, but always helpful to ask when they are working on a new version.--SPhilbrickT 22:23, 26 February 2010 (UTC) Hi Sphilbrick, the LDR style is definitely something I've been wanting for a while now, again thanks for informing me of it. I'll be converting "stable" articles to LDR as I find the time. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 23:19, 26 February 2010 (UTC) Genre changes As you may have noticed, Babyjazspanail changed all genres for Avril Lavigne singles to a list (I did the same for her albums). I just changed all of the genres so that they now start with a capital letter. I asked Babyjazspanail before I did it and they seemed okay with it but I just wanted to check with you to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong. It just makes sense to me that, as it's now a list, they can all start with a capital letter. Zylo1994 (talk) 16:52, 3 March 2010 (UTC) I hadn't noticed (busy in real life) but I agree completely with the capitalizations. The list format helps readability too, I think, especially since citations sometimes clutter up the small space afforded in the infobox. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 22:13, 3 March 2010 (UTC) Shawn White Shaun White cropped and centered. Off2riorob (talk) 22:59, 4 March 2010 (UTC) HELP the page "I Wanna" for the All-American Rejects has charts availible on billboard.biz, and you seem to have access.

I know that Scott Weiland had (at least) one brother, that passed away while Velvet Revolver was being formed, but that's about it; moreover, all the other sites (i do not have the official CD, just a copy) credit the track to only WEILAND, so one assumes it is SCOTT. Can you enlighten me on that one? Have a great weekend, from Portugal, VASCO - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 21:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC) Sorry for bothering you, was just trying to get my facts straight...VASCO - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 18:09, 7 March 2010 (UTC) Hi Vasco, sorry for not responding sooner. I've been busy in real life. I own a CD copy of Core and can check this information out eventually, but the CD is currently in storage. I've otherwise never heard of Martin Weiland having written anything for STP. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 23:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC) Don't apologize my friend, i should have for being so hasty. I think it may have been a typo of that site, must have been S. WEILAND. Thanks for your kindness, and sorry for any incovenience on my part. Regards from Portugal, VASCO - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 02:34, 8 March 2010 (UTC) FYI Just an fyi for you. During the discussion on filmography tables on WT:ACTOR, I copied your comments on the table heading from Talk:Miley Cyrus where you endorsed the color filmography table heading here. I thought it would helpful for you to know that Jack Merridew responded by saying that the IP I mentioned was blocked for personal attacks (which has since expired) and dismissed your valid comment as meatpuppetry, saying "The others you quote were set-up by the troll." If you care to respond, the comment is there. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:39, 18 March 2010 (UTC) I consider the above to be canvassing and a bad faith mischaracterization of what I said; I in no way implied that you were a meatpupet, only that the troll-IP misled you; i.e. that the troll was engaging in improper behavior. Cheers, Jack Merridew 01:55, 18 March 2010 (UTC) Hi guys. I made my opinion on the matter known on the Talk:Miley Cyrus page. Otherwise, I'm not too interested in getting involved, thanks. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 07:11, 18 March 2010 (UTC) Which Barnstar? Hi, I wanted to give Scott M. Howard a Barnstar to let him know we appreciate all his recent deletions and the new template for Avril Lavigne articles but I'm not sure which Barnstar is suitable. Would the Editor's Barnstar be appropriate? Zylo1994 (talk) 07:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC) Hey Zylo! Sure, I think that one is suitable... but what I would do first (if you haven't already done so) is check to see what other barnstars he's already received, and then check out personal user awards and other awards, just in case there's something a little more eye-catching or one that he hasn't received yet that you'd like to give. It's all personal preference, of course. No matter what, though, it's a great way to show your appreciation. : ) – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 07:45, 24 March 2010 (UTC) Genre warning Hi I've added this genre warning to the Avril Lavigne single 'Complicated' (and hope to add it to all the singles and albums) and wanted to know if I was doing the right thing...
