Here's a bit of sunshine to cheer your talk page up ;) Hope to talk to you later! Hugs, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 17:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC) Thank you for cheering me up, my dear Stevie boy! You are worth gold to me Phaedriel Ooh, thanks Sharon! What's "Orane"? (sun? a mistake? :P). If you see me on MSN drop me a hello, whether marked as "away" or not. Chatting in private is better! ;) --kingboyk 17:26, 5 July 2006 (UTC) Hahaha! I knew it! I have a word for women like you but let's save it for offline, lol. --kingboyk 17:30, 5 July 2006 (UTC) Truly a treasure to be privileged to know? ++Lar: t/c 18:55, 7 July 2006 (UTC) Lol, no, copy and paste mistake derived from 18 hours in a row with no sleep, Steve hun ;) I´ll catch you in MSN in a matter of seconds then! Hugs, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 17:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC) (edit conflict) Aww shut up! I'm embarrased enough as I am... ;) Thanks [1] For making me smile. Werdna (talk) 22:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC) Thanks! I was worried you might not consider it amusing, glad to know I was wrong on that count :) --kingboyk 11:02, 6 July 2006 (UTC) Hi, Question from new member Hi, sorry if im mistaken but is this the way to ask you a question? Am i supposed to write here? I posted an external link in beatles discography and you deleted it. I read the policies about external links and didn't find any reason for this. The content of the page is free, it has no popups and stuff like that and it contains info that you dont have in your discography. It is the only page in the net where you can find all different covers for every country and exact catalog numbers. Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Issovia (talk • contribs) . I'll reply at User talk:Issovia. --kingboyk 13:14, 8 July 2006 (UTC) Beatles trivia Any chance of you popping in and rating it? Thanks.. andreasegde 09:17, 12 July 2006 (UTC) WP:Beatles article classification migration Well, a week went by and no one did any migrations. I was a bit stressed and did a few more letters in the background... but at this rate it will take forever because it's not very exciting. Shame to lose the info though. I am NOT asking you to do any but I AM asking you for ideas as to how to motivate others. I don't think I even got any replies. ... ideas? ++Lar: t/c 17:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC) Beatles trivia on the chopping block Dear Beatles editors, I have just seen a header that “The Beatles trivia“ is being considered for deletion. I would like you to take a look at it and vote to keep, or delete. The consensus will win the day, as they say…. I will not vote, as I have been personally involved in the construction of the page. andreasegde 01:43, 16 July 2006 (UTC) George Toogood Smith up for deletion Now Then! How's tricks me old china plate? Just to let you know, the article on George Smith, John Lennon's uncle, who raised him as a son, is up for deletion. While I in no way wish for non-notable people to be given articles purely on the basis that they are related to someone famous, Smith was like a father to Lennon and integral but oftern overlooked key in The Beatles mythology (if that's the right word). He features prominantly in any other work on or about Lennon. Vital information that cannot reasonably be included in the Lennon article. The main problem is the unfortunate article title, which highlights close connotations to the fact that he is mainly famous for his relationship to Lennon. Other than that it is a desirable article for anyone wishing to learn about John Lennon. I just thought I'd give anyone interested the oppertuninty to voice their opinions here: [[2]]. Ta very much. Ps: Nothing.--Crestville 14:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC) The JAMs logo Hey there Kingboyk, I was wondering, since you uploaded Image:The JAMS- 1987 (What The Fuck Is Going On?).jpg, whether you have a high-res copy that I could get my hands on. OzLawyer 18:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Replied at user's talks. --kingboyk 12:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC) Oh well, thanks anyway. OzLawyer 14:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC) Libya Hi, I've recently added Libya to the list of featured article candidates. Overall the candidature is going well with many of the objections now sorted out. The final concrete objection is with the article's prose. I have been the main contributor to the article and have been looking at it for the previous 9 - 10 months. My eyes no longer see it freshly, so I am not a suitable copy-editor! To meet the final demand of copy editing, I have been advised to ask different people to edit parts of the article. I would really love to get this article featured as you can probably see from the page's history! I've worked very hard on it and I see this as possibly being the final hurdle. You can see the prose objections, mostly raised by Sandy, on the candidature page. If you have the time, please choose a section (Politics, Religion, Culture etc.) and copyedit, perfect, ace it! I would be very grateful with any help I can get. Thanks a lot, --Jaw101ie 16:44, 20 July 2006 (UTC) Help Should Wiki be in British English (as I have read) or American when it deals with American subjects? I have been told: (American president, American history. We use American spelling. Put your fibres in Churchill articles) Pertaining to the different spelling of "fibres" (GB) and "fibers" (USA). Is this right? andreasegde 18:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC) I'm not Steve, but use your best judgement. The manual of style has some thoughts on this but if the topic is commonwealth related, use commonwealth spellings, if American, use American. if the topic is unclear as to what it's related to, use whatever spelling the first major contributor used. Avoid revert wars over spelling, they're not really a good idea Hope that helps... happy editing! ++Lar: t/c 15:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC) Thanks Lar. --kingboyk 12:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC) no problem, mate! and welcome back!!!! We missed your wit and good cheer. ++Lar: t/c 16:52, 27 July 2006 (UTC) The Beatles article discography section There is a dispute involving where or if the Magical Mystery Tour album or double EP which be in the article list. I say no. The current version as I type this mentions albums and double EPs released in the UK. What do you think? Steelbeard1 10:56, 26 July 2006 (UTC) I don't know. Where's the discussion? --kingboyk 12:58, 27 July 2006 (UTC) Here Got a round tuit for you. Whispering 19:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC) Lol, thanks. I know I mentioned round tuits today, but I forget where... had no idea we had an article on them though! Cheers for that. --kingboyk 19:54, 27 July 2006 (UTC) The No Music Day AfD. Whispering 23:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC) Ah yes, indeed. Well, Bill will get a great article soon enough. Unfortunately my co-conspirator in articles pertaining to The KLF - User:Vinoir - has disappeared. Hopefully this round tuit will hasten his return! Cheers mate. --kingboyk 21:58, 28 July 2006 (UTC) Beatles Newsletter - sweet FA There are two "top story" areas, one in the newsletter body and one in the editors area. Chose whichever you want to put the FA in (my choice would be the newsletter "lead") and put the Article Assements in the other (the editors hot topic since it is a follow on from last month). However, if you feel that the FA needs special attention then the AA will have to be dropped. The "From the editors" section could be used as a call to arms if you think the matter warrants it. Lastly, for the moment, lets use the review to get some momentum going again!LessHeard vanU 22:16, 28 July 2006 (UTC) Indeed. The FA issue has to be the lead; it would be a blow to the Project to lose Featured status for our eponymous article. I think we can and should mention the AA again, however. --kingboyk 15:16, 29 July 2006 (UTC) Okay. I am carrying on this discussion over at the newsletter talkpage. Cheers. LessHeard vanU 16:00, 29 July 2006 (UTC) Welcome! Welcome! Hi, and welcome to the Biography WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of biographies. A few features that you might find helpful: The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available. There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like: Starting some new articles?

We look forward to seeing you around! great to have you on board Kingboyk! plange 18:41, 30 July 2006 (UTC) Good Memory! How you doing Steve? hope you're well. Indeed, a first time for both of us! Best wishes Lion King 11:11, 31 July 2006 (UTC) P.S. Where's the best Pie 'n' Mash Shop in Cheltenham then? Lion King 21:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC) Blimey, dunno if we have one. We have some great pubs and some nice eateries though. --kingboyk 10:55, 1 August 2006 (UTC) I'll bring me Wife then, wot wiv 'er being the posh one of the fam'ly- stand a chance of being served then:) Lion King 15:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC) Importance criteria Mmmm... thanks for changing some of my "Importance" judgement calls on some of the BioWikiProject templates. I get the increasing impression that I have mis-interpreted the guidelines! It may be an idea to re-word those guidelines, cos I read andre-read them 4 or 5 times, and I still could not make head nor tail of them. You may be interested in this sub-project, cos I would not like us to get off on the wrong foot here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Medieval Scotland/BioProject Thanks. --Mais oui! 11:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC) Unfortunately, the importance ratings are very much judgement based at the moment, so there are going to be some disagreements along the way. Hopefully, some consensus/standards will emerge, so it's important to have some consistency in the early ratings if we're not to have a right mess later on :) I wouldn't want you to think, though, that I have some special understanding of the situation and that I'm right and you're wrong, as it may turn out to be the opposite! I do, however, have the feeling that for biographies, "Top" class should be the legendary historical figures that the average man in the street would know the name of, the icons of the twentieth century (Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, Mohammed Ali, etc), US presidents, etc. Lesser known historical figures, celebrities, sports champions who aren't household icons and so on I would consider "High". I might be wrong! :) --kingboyk 11:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC) PS I'll take a look at your Project, thanks for the headsup. OK. From what you are saying, Mary, Queen of Scots would be Top, but perhaps John Knox would only be High (even though he isarguably far more significant in history). Jack McConnell: High or Mid? Sean Connery: Top? Alex Salmond: High or Mid? Ordinary Members of the Scottish Parliament: Mid (surely not Low, because hardly trivial to be a legislator?). Members of the Scottish Executive (ie. the devolved govt): High? Kings of the Picts: Mid?--Mais oui! 11:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC) Mary, top. John Knox, would be top or high - would an enyclopedia be worthy of the name if it didn't have an article on him? Salmond should rank around the same as Prescott or Kennedy I would have thought, which is currently High but might be Top if I'm horribly wrong! :) Ordinary MSPs, mid. Connery I would put as high, in the same bracket as Iggy Pop, but maybe he's Top. Geez, this is difficult isn't it?! Perhaps I should stick to WP:KLF with our 45 or so articles :) (Which, with you being a Scotsman, begs the question - what importance is Bill Drummond? Mid? High? Say Low and thou shalt be forever ignored, lol.) --kingboyk 11:55, 1 August 2006 (UTC) K Foundation redirect Sorry about that! Obviously I suffer from advanced Mommy Brain. Anyway, perhaps someone should create at least a stub article for the book. ♥ Her Pegship♥ 19:34, 1 August 2006 (UTC) No problem. We haven't decided what to do with the K Foundation articles yet. I doubt we'll give the book a seperate article but we'll certainly be endeavouring to improve the layout. You can be forgiven for not realising there was a book too as it's not at all clear right now :) Cheers. --kingboyk 19:38, 1 August 2006 (UTC) British Royalty {{BRoy|rec}} DBD 11:12, 2 August 2006 (UTC) Editing comments page Hi. What's going on at Talk:Pablo_de_la_Llave/Comments? I had to look up "refactor". Wiktionary says it implies not changing the meaning, but you did. Originally I said I couldn't find images of Pablo de la Llave and and Plange suggested incorporating images of associated places. Now you have me saying I couldn't find images of associated places, either. (In fact I've done so, but adding them to the article is a very low priority for me.) Maybe a note to let me know that "comments" pages shouldn't contain pleasant conversations would have been a better way to handle this. —JerryFriedman 17:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC) What? Is this such a big deal?! I was making a comments page shorter for transclusion, and made it clear that I had, end of story. Totally unimportant and not worth getting irate over. A /comments page isn't a talk page so I consider myself at liberty to edit mercilessly: they are like to do lists, and contain details on what is right or wrong about an article. --kingboyk 08:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC) If it's a big enough deal for you to work on, it's a big enough deal for you not to change a true statement into a false one. (And not to put in a typo, which I just corrected, though I can't object to that too much since you edited out a typo of mine.) I'm sure you have a very high standard in editing articles. I suggest that your standard in editing things signed by other people should be at least as high. —JerryFriedman 17:14, 3 August 2006 (UTC) WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter, Issue 4, August 2006 WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter Issue 004 – August 2006 Issue of the Month Despite it being the lead news article of last month, there is still help required in the assessing of articles and the migrating of comments. Lar is willing to provide assistance to those unsure how to do this. Beatles News The Beatles in the news. Suggestions: [3] [4] Project News The Beatles article, the "Flagship" of the Project, is currently under review with regard to its Featured Article status. It is hoped that the review will identify those areas that need some(/lots of) remedial work, and that the Project participants and those editors who are involved in the the FA admin pages to can work together to "save" the status of the article. At the moment there is some discussion as to why it has been listed, and what may be needed to help it retain its FA status. It may well be that some work is going to be required in formulating a plan of action, and then some more in achieving those aims. The FA status is obviously quite important to the Project, and it would be appreciated if participants are able to provide assistance in keeping the article up to standard. The editors would be grateful if those persons receiving this Newsletter could spare some of their time, energy and brainpower in keeping this jewel in our crown in its proper place. Please go to Wikipedia:Featured article review/The Beatles and get involved! Thank you. Notable updates The compilation album The Beatles 1962-1966 has been adopted by PhattyFatt. Four new articles have been listed in the Project Log since 1 July: All You Need is Ears, the George Martin memoir (Stevage) Radha Krsna Temple, the ISKCON headquarters and album (Simon123, Kingboyk) A Cellar Full of Noise, the Brian Epstein autobiography (El Slameron) Wings Over Europe Tour, the Wings concert tour in Europe (Danthemankhan) Two Beatles related articles, The Beatles trivia [deletion debate] and George Smith (John Lennon) [deletion debate], were nominated for deletion. Both were kept on the basis that no consensus was reached. Member News New members to the project since the last issue include Doctorfreedom, Red Alien, dure, PhattyFatt and Caesar.

That might be too difficult really. All I was planning to do was... well, have a look at this: [5] Basically a run through Living People tagging with living=yes and no more (remember, it's over 100,000 pages). Then perhaps a similar run through Dead People.

Re: [6] -- Ned Scott 08:40, 6 August 2006 (UTC) Refactoring is allowed. I changed no meaning, only the name of a template. I'm sure it's perfectly proper. --kingboyk 08:44, 6 August 2006 (UTC) I guess that's no problem then.. It just seems to have been a bit of an issue lately, mostly with typo checking, though. I guess it's a bit of a grey area. -- Ned Scott 08:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC) Yes. I think fixing people's typos in talk might be a bit much (unless the editor in question signed at the end and stated they had done it).

Dismas|(talk) 18:09, 6 August 2006 (UTC) Yes indeed, sorry about that. --kingboyk 18:15, 6 August 2006 (UTC) Templates appearing on talk pages Your bot has placed a template on the talk pages of several articles I have written, telling editors to obey WP:BLP. Do any of these articles not obey WP:BLP? I am all for maintaining standards, but this approach does seem a little heavy-handed.--Runcorn 15:51, 6 August 2006 (UTC) Hi. I've no idea if they do or don't obey it, I'm sure they do. That's what gets output if the WPBiography template is added with a parameter of living=yes. In essence, I'm the messenger and you're querying the message: a message which can be changed if consensus dictates, certainly, and very easily - simply by editing the template. At the present time, the standard is that bios of living persons get these warnings - and, in fact, to make it not appear to be aimed at any one article or set of editors and to be not heavy-handed but normal, it's best if they all have the message I think. If you still disagree with that message however please raise it at Template talk:WPBiography, Wikipedia talk:Biographies of living persons, or Template talk:Blp. Cheers. --kingboyk 15:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC) Apple logo This logo need only be used on the article about the company. Everywhere else is decorative.

There's no need for copyright paranoia. --kingboyk 14:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC) Legally perhaps, but Wikipedia tries to avoid Fair Use whenever possible as we are trying to provide free (as in freely reusable) content. ed g2s • talk 14:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC) Tom Hess Howdy, this was speedied, contested, undeleted, and taken to Afd. I noticed it'd been deleted again and undeleted to let the Afd run it's course, but after that I saw it was already closed. Most people at DRV wanted to delete it via Afd, but I found a few sources for this and wanted a chance to work them in. Would you object to unclosing it and giving it a bit of time? Friday (talk) 14:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Hey, I hate to leave this in a confusing state- no offense, but I'm going to unclose since there's no need to hurry this (the speedy was already contested). Friday (talk) 15:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC) There's no sign of DRV in what links here! Looks like a straightforward A7 to me but, of course, I have no objection given what I've been told. Cheers. --kingboyk 15:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Ahh, looks like nobody linked to it. No biggie. So far I'm the only one who things this isn't pure junk, so maybe I'm wasting my time, but I'll work on getting some sourced in there. Thanks for being understanding. Friday (talk) 15:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Hey... Hey... do you have quick access to your e-mail account so I can send you an e-mail? -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 17:02, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Yes, fire away. --kingboyk 17:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC) I hope it got sent; I experienced some technical difficulties. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 17:08, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Yes, I got it (and got an edit conflict when was writing to say so :)). I'll get back to you but not right now so please be patient. --kingboyk 17:09, 9 August 2006 (UTC) No problem. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 17:11, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Not to pester you, as a response is not needed urgently, but I was just curious as to what you meant by "not right now" (I was thinking a couple hours, but obviously that wasn't correct). Do you mean several days, a week, a couple weeks? I just wanted to make sure you didn't mean to get back to me, but just got swamped with e-mails and forgot. Thanks in advance. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 23:01, 12 August 2006 (UTC) What's the rush? :) My advice would be to chill out for a while longer. As for the email, I'd half forgotten but I'll answer in the next few days. I'm terrible at answering emails, sorry. --kingboyk 23:20, 12 August 2006 (UTC) Alright; I have no problem at all waiting. Take your time. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 23:27, 12 August 2006 (UTC) Yes, it's me again, but I'm just saying that I'm pretty much retracting the e-mail. This is not at all because you haven't responded, but simply because recent events regarding admins (particularly the Jtkiefer affair, the discussion regarding Nathanrdotcom's block, and my fears over fallout from RfA 2) have cooled my ambitions for adminship to an all-time low. I'll wait for when others judge I'm ready and needed, rather for when I personally feel I'm ready. So essentially, disregard the e-mail. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 15:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Yikes! Sorry mate! I think it's probably for the best anyway. I'm reasonably confident that if you wait for a longer period (perhaps 6 months from RFA 2) before RFA 3, you'll get it. Come back to me then and I'll see about nominating you - you can contact me on-wiki since I've offered. Cheers. --kingboyk 15:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Request Hi Kingboyk, Could you please semi-protect the Transylvania article? The banned User:Bonaparte is editing again. —Khoikhoi 17:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Done. Please remind me to unprotect if it's still protected tommorow. Cheers. (I also blocked the IP address). --kingboyk 17:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Ok, sure. Semi-protection would be fine, but there was sort of an edit war as well, so I guess it's ok. Thanks again. —Khoikhoi 17:29, 9 August 2006 (UTC) I changed to semi probably as you were writing to me :) Made a mistake, haven't protected a page for a while. --kingboyk 17:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Don't worry, when I came back from Israel about a week ago I could hardly type! :p —Khoikhoi 17:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC) I would like to ask you to permanently ban the two new sochpuppet of User: Bonaparte, User: 203.106.52.102 and User: 211.180.51.14. You can see a lot of disruptive edits all over Wikipedia:Romanian Wikipedians' notice board, Transylvania, and the user pages of two Romanian editor, User: Dahn and User: Ronline. Not only edit wars, but personal attacks, blackmailing, threats, vandalism etc. I think that is more disgusting than what we get used to from Bonaparte's clones in the past months. Thank for your help. Zello 18:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Also User:195.78.228.23 with homophobic comments against Ronline. Why we have to hear this again after 1 week exoiry time? Zello 18:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Anthony Ulwick Hi there. I have restored the article Anthony Ulwick which you speedily deleted. You may not be aware of this, since whoever closed the discussion unfortunately forgot to link to it, but this article was listed on WP:AFD and then kept after there was no consensus to delete. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Ulwick. —Stormie 21:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Bot Is there any chance you could slow your bot down some? It's going at such a speed that it's been filling up my watchlist every day lately, which makes it rather difficult to find actual new edits. Rebecca 00:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC) Sorry about that. I'm taking a break for a few hours anyway, and will slow it down a touch. The problem, though, is that we have so many articles to tag it will take probably a week even at speed, so if I were to slow it to a pace such that people wouldn't notice the edits the job wouldn't be done in any reasonable time period. I hope that's OK. --kingboyk 13:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC) Disambiguation problem from Beatles newsletter I trawl the High Court disabiguation list from time to time, fixing the links to High Courts all over the world. Your article on the Beatles that ref to the High court, presumably High Court has been replicated a large number of times. Would you please do the disambiguations. ta FedLawyer 12:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC) There's no need, it's only on user talk pages. --kingboyk 12:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC) It looks like we (the Newsletter editors) all got this message. Since you and Lar have the Wiki experience I shall be guided by you two.LessHeard vanU 12:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC) There's no need to dab it, and I have better things to do! :) --kingboyk 12:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC) Fatiha Boudiaf I've added the corresponding sources to the stub above, as requested in the Talk page. Please proceed with the prescribed procedure. Yours, User:Ejrrjs says What? 21:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC) Thanks. I've rated it stub class. Please note that the message on the talk page is a general warning that's being put onto all living persons biographies, I see nothing problematic in your article :) --kingboyk 21:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC) iTunes Originals. I have to dispute you on your restructuring of the iTunes originals article, and all related articles. I made the article and I checked up to the best of my ability. The official title of the albums (as listed in the "Album Title" field of the tracks) is iTunes Original - [Artist name]. The "Cover image" may make it appear that it's just iTunes Originals, but since it's iTunes exclusive, I purport that the album title field should be followed rather than the album cover. It's just like on a self titled album, an artist doesn't usually put "Joe Smith" twice to list the title and the artist name. TheHYPO 23:15, 12 August 2006 (UTC) This is my thanks for sorting out the categories for you is it? I did indeed go by the cover shot, and also by Wikipedia convention. I don't think it matters a great deal either way, and redirects are still in place so people should have no trouble finding the articles. --kingboyk 23:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC) It has nothing to do with thanks, and you really shouldn't take things so personally. I merely brought up up something I thought you probably didn't check (the album field - which you say you indeed didn't check). For me it has to do with what I think is a conversion for the worse. Now you have a big pile of albums all titled iTunes Originals and need a (Bjork album) tag after them. Either way, it's merely about wikipedia being a source so the album titles should be as accurate as possible. I believe the album field is the official album title. TheHYPO 23:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC) What do you mean by the album field? In the MP3? On the website? I came over from WP:ALBUM in response to the categorisation request; I've never used iTunes in my life and intend to keep it that way! :) --kingboyk 23:38, 12 August 2006 (UTC) iTunes Originals are iTunes exclusive tracks. They are ONLY available for download. As such, they have information built in just like mp3s, but the info is put there by iTunes (or the music label selling the album which in this case is iTunes itself). Since it's iTunes exclusive, and iTunes is the origin of the audio files (they aren't mp3s, but an apple audio format) I believe that the info tags in the song files themselfs are the official sources of the song titles, album title, etc. TheHYPO 23:41, 12 August 2006 (UTC) I'll show you screenshot - note that next to the cover image it actually says iTunes Orignials - 3 Doors Down, and then under that, the artist name 3 Doors Down. It can also be seen in the album column of the songs at the bottom. This image TheHYPO 23:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC) One final note, in the infoboxes and first sentance of the articles on specific iTunes releases, it still contains the original dashed names so either those have to be changed, or the titles should be changed back to the dashed versions (which of course, is the change I'd support making)... TheHYPO 00:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC) Let me know what your thoughts on this is considering the title with the new facts presented - I am inclined to reverse the titles back to the dashed form, but I'm not here to start a conflict, so I'm waiting until I hear your opinion on the matter. TheHYPO 11:11, 13 August 2006 (UTC) Sorry, I'm a bit busy at the moment (working on an esoteric template) so haven't had time to think about it fully. However, if you want me to move them back I'm happy to do so. --kingboyk 11:13, 13 August 2006 (UTC) I understand your reaction to the cover art (which since the albums are not physically existing, is merely an image that pops up when you play the files) and assuming that that is the title, but the official title based on how the files are tagged and how the releases are titled is iTunes Originals - Artist Name - I don't think there's any rush to set them back, but I do think that they should be returned to those titles when you get the chance. TheHYPO 11:20, 13 August 2006 (UTC) Done. --kingboyk 11:27, 13 August 2006 (UTC) PS: If you're marking esoteric templates, you might want to look at infoboxes - I've seen a number of if-based infoboxes that do not have the esoteric tags I know that the music ones don't such as template:Infobox Album TheHYPO 11:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC) I'm actually working on one specific template, {{WPBeatles}}, in my sandbox if you wish to look... Yesterday I edited {{WPKLF}} in a trial run, this one is rather more complicated :) --kingboyk 11:27, 13 August 2006 (UTC) That does look rather messy. The Simpsons project has a much simpilfied similar template. I've had to work on template logic a lot as I've been working on propagating articles in my own wiki which has results in importing a number of templates (and adapting and modernizing them often). It's annoying enough. I'm not super at wiki-programming, but I'm pretty good with programming logic in general, so if you have any issues you can't figure out, I'm here if you want a second opinion. Might be out of my league, I don't know. :) Thanks for reverting the iTunes articles too :) TheHYPO 11:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC) RfA thanks Thanks so much for voting, Kingboyk! Thanks so much for your support vote on my request for adminship! With a final vote count of (82/5/0), it succeeded, and I'm now an administrator! I am thrilled with the overwhelming positive support from the community, and sincerely thank you once again for taking your time to voice your opinion. Feel free to contact me with any comments/suggestions in the future! —Mets501 (talk) 03:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC) MySpace - Macca/Beatles I think you called it right re Macca's mySpace (or however the wretched thing is supposed to be). With his money you would think he could get someone to create a decent page, and I agree that the bio jars more than a little - far too throwaway regarding Lennon and the impending divorce and, hey, George is ignored again. Something a fan might do, but not Macca. I also note that Lennon and Harrison are "friends" but the site has only been in existence since after Georges death... I have my reservations regarding The Beatles mySpace too, but it is linked to the "official" (per Wikipedia entry) website so I suppose it is legit. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LessHeard vanU (talk • contribs) .
