Anarcho genre

Thanks for restoring the genre on the Crass page. If you wouldn't mind keeping an eye on it, I'd appreciate it. This guy is seriously beginning to annoy me.  Channel ®   23:44, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

He's perhaps done the right thing now by raising this on the Talk page for anarcho-punk - you may want to contribute to the discussion there. If consensus is reached that we keep it as a genre, then that should be the end of it.--Michig (talk) 06:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I see you already have - I would suggest a couple of weeks should be sufficient to reach a consensus view.--Michig (talk) 06:24, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

WP Computing

Greetings. You are receiving this note as you are a member of this WikiProject. Currently there is not much of activity in the project and I am hoping to revive the project with your help. I have made a few changes to the project page Diff. You are welcome to make suggestions of improvement / changes in the design. I have also make a proposal to AutoTagg articles with {{WikiProject Computing}} for the descendant wikiprojects articles also. Please express your opinion here -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 12:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Downfall (band)

Thanks for the note on my talk page. I usually check the history, but obviously not carefully enough in this case. There are too many unchecked pages like this - I've found some that have been "re-written," both as good faith and as vandalism and not been reverted for over a year! It's a total weakness of WP. Sorry, I had to say something to somebody and you gave me a chance!!! --Richhoncho (talk) 06:46, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Rollerskate Skinny

Michig, thank you for taking the time out to clean up and properly cite the Rollerskate Skinny entry. It serves their legacy well. Cheers! -- Hawkbreeze (talk) 23:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blueboy (band)

Hello Michig!

I think that you should know that while your original comments were not directed at me, and while I would not say that anything you wrote violated WP:CIVILITY, I would say that the tone of your writing was not in keeping with WP:AGF, whether that was your intention or not; and I am saying this strictly as an outsider. When someone nominates an article for AfD, it is quite possible that they do so without fully realizing that the article was fine. Goodness knows I did that once before. What happened: a few editors heaped a torrent of abuse on me for nominating something that was to them so obviously notable, when in my eyes was absolutely not notable. I have never again bothered to nominate an article again. I would ask that you keep this in mind. The particular criteria that are establishing the notability are not the most commonly used criteria for assuming notability in this area. My two bits of worthless advice: if you have a problem with someone nominating an article in the future, educate them .... explain why they made a mistake. Have a good day. LonelyBeacon (talk) 10:10, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for arguing for and improving the Blueboy (band) page so quickly - you beat me to it (I'm the guy who asked for it to be restored.) With respect to the discussion about it, including the above admonition, I specifically pointed out to Stephen that it should be restored on the grounds that it satisfied the "two albums on a significant indie label" criterion, so I am puzzled why he would restore it and then immediately nominate it for deletion... Robort (talk) 02:05, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Re. Menwhopause

I've removed the AfD notification of the article. Thanks for the notice. Much appreciated, and happy editing, Leonard^(Bloom) 15:01, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Hi, Michig! Nice to meet a person from Wikiproject Jamaica and interested in reggae! I made a proposal here few days ago. I think, that the project is essential, so I'll appreciate any support (=. Thank you! --Nagasheus (talk) 11:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Straight No Talk

Hello Michig, I see you have been commenting on the deletion of the Straight No Talk article. I know it's not easily verifiable once the show archive is taken off the BBC website, however, Gilles Peterson mentioned Straight No Talk as "legendary" on his September 4, 2008 Worldwide show on BBC Radio 1. It came in the 2 minute discussion around the 58th minute of the show. As some might regard Gilles as influential in the music biz, I thought it might be relevant in the discussion about the deletion of the article. Seems to me the article just needs improvement. Kmeditor (talk) 19:52, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Best Kept Secret(Leona Lewis album)

Hey, just wanted to say that's nice to see not only someone try to improve the article first in a deletion discussion, but then also to be able to go back and change your mind rather than sticking to your guns is impressive, too. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 15:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

You are on the right track.... NYT and AMG did not use the same review.

The NYTimes source actually IS a Reliable Source in this instance. It certainly does contain a review written by Jason Buchanan of All Movie Guide, but All Movie Guide does NOT contain that review. They have their own concerns for COI and their reviewers often write outside reviews that they cannot use themselves. That makes this review independent and unique from AMG. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:09, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Alton Ellis

Thanks for removing that. They edited the article and it says he is not dead yet now. However, it honestly did say he had died earlier. It now says he's likely about to die. DavidWS (talk) 20:31, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

It seems likely that his death may be reported prematurely again. Waiting until a number of reliable sources confirm his death seems sensible.--Michig (talk) 20:35, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. DavidWS (talk) 21:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Disruptive editing?

I'm sorry but you need to back up articles with reliable references and many of them articles have a huge lack of references, and now apparently I'm in the wrong? References are needed please because anyone can edit Wikipedia so references are needed to help make wikipedia more reliable. If I was you I would read Wikipedia:Citation needed, Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources before performing any more edits to articles. Regards Ijanderson (talk) 12:24, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Im just trying to make you aware of the importance of referencing. Regards Ijanderson (talk) 12:30, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Honorific titles

I had to remove you addition on the grounds that no page numbers were given, it would be near impossible to find the page numbers for the alleged honorific title and other info. If you could reinstate it with page numbers (particularly for the title) that would be very helpful. — Realist² 13:25, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, you could have just requested page numbers. Most of the book cited is in encyclopedia format with artists listed alphabetically, so it would be incredibly easy to find it. I'll reinstate it with page numbers, although I believe the title is already also sourced in the Dennis Brown article.--Michig (talk) 13:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I see someone has already reinstated it. I didn't put any claims in for sales figures, btw.--Michig (talk) 13:43, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Kinobe

I built it from the ground up, as I even wanted to delete. As it stood, the article would not have survived, save your hard work. It's short, it's concise, and it should pass. I struck my vote. As someone who enjoys writing articles, I'm asking that you may have to add to this to save it. I did pretty good man. ^Law _shoot! 10:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Lotus (rock band)

Strongly (but respectfully) disagree. No indication of signing by a major label or significant indie. Article is promotional in nature with peacock terms. The article in its current state indicates little more than a college band. A speedy-tag was easy to justify, and I would do it again without hesitation. I'll keep an eye on this article for now, with an eye toward deletion via prod or AfD if things don't improve. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:38, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Keith Elam's birthday is 1961 from his latest lawsuit. American Express Travel Related Services sued him in Rockland County's Supreme Court and won a judgement against him for $27,000.00. The actual court record shows his date of birth to be 1961. You can foil the court for the transcript should you want to read it. You can also red the judgement against on the County's web site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmwsn26p (talk • contribs) 21:26, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Cordis (band) and other work

Hey Michig,

You've done a great job already with Cordis--and I looked up at the rest of your Talk page, where your help was asked for Art punk, and on the Talk page there I saw why people ask for your help. Admirable job you've done finding stuff. Re: Cordis, I'm quite sympathetic to the subject of the article, despite my AfD comment and my edits to the actual article... Anyway, thanks for all your hard work on these and other articles. Drmies (talk) 19:54, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Kendra Smith

A tag has been placed on Kendra Smith 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 a person or group of people, 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 biographies.

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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Fatal!ty ^(T☠LK) 09:43, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy tag undone. The artist is covered by mainstream press. --Efe (talk) 10:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Kendra Smith

I have nominated Kendra Smith, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kendra Smith. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Fatal!ty ^(T☠LK) 10:09, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Michig. You have new messages at Fatal!ty's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

As one of the involved administrators, I regret that the above deletion nominations had ever been placed -- the article was among a large group nominated for deletion contrary to policy by a user who has now been blocked for doing so, by consensus at WP:AN/I. Deletion has been prevented, and please feel free to remove the notices. DGG (talk) 18:30, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

As you are on attribution removal patrol...

To be fair I am not going to list all of the several thousand Wikipeadia articles that contain images (including image of paintings and other works of art) that are attributed but to get you started here are some of them. As you want to be the attribution expert I expect you will be busy removing not only my photo credits but these, and the other several thousand I have not listed, as well.

Article with images that have photo credit

1. Photojournalism
2. Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima
3. Joe Rosenthal (Article on a photojournalist, with photos. Better remove all credits and mentions of any images he took and why not send the article to AfD for "Blatant attribution" too)
4. Fred Reid
5. New York's Village Halloween Parade (See also Photo credits)
6. Days of Rage
7. Huỳnh Công Út
8. Stewart Shining (An article about a photographer so you might want to do a AfD nom for this too)
9. Rick Benjamin (conductor)
10. Marie Daulne
11. Joe Cocker (album) (See "Art & Photo Credits")
12. Rille
13. William Thompson (New York)
14. Josué Sánchez
15. Sylvia (ballet)
16. Médanos (geology)
17. Henri Cartier-Bresson
18. Streptanthus niger
19. Still Pending
20. James L. Jones
21. Belgian Naval Component
22. Jeffrey Morgan
23. Mount Ararat (Pennsylvania) (See "References")
24. NS 50 Years Since Victory
25. United States Air Force Academy
26. Douglas Hopkins (Article on a photographer. Another AfD nom for you to make)
27. Budd Dwyer
28. Itezhi-Tezhi Dam
29. Tania Libertad
30. Melody Thomas Scott
31. The Rolling Stones (album) (Contains the line "The album cover photo was taken by David Bailey")
32. David Bailey (photographer) (Another article on a photographer)
33. Ultimate Kylie (See Album credits)
34. North Sea
35. Tom Wilkes (See Album Cover Credits for a list of album cover photo credits)
36. Ira Hayes
37. United States Marine Corps (Not only attribution for the photographs but for the images of paintings as well. And I bet if you look close the paintings have some sort of embedded attribution as well)
38. Franklin Sousley
39. Rene Gagnon
40. Hearts and Minds (film)
41. Tiananmen Square
42. Tank Man
43. Jeff Widener (Yet another case of "Blatant attribution")
44. The Falling Man (Article contains the lead line of text "The Falling Man" is a story about a photograph taken by Richard Drew at 9:41:15 a.m., on September 11, 2001.")
45. Andrew Diey
46. Enfin Réunis (See Additional credits)

No need to reply or thank me for the help in locating all of these violations. When you get done with the images you should start on song article because these article give attribution to the artists who recorded them as well to the labels that released them. Then you can start on all article about films as they may give attribution to the producers, directors and studios involved. Oh, and I almost overlooked the issue of having any artwork that has any form of attribution on it - such as an album cover that may have the name of the artists on it. I am sure you will figure it out though. Just being helpful Soundvisions1 (talk) 00:30, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I have nominated Destructors 666, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Destructors 666. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Kelly ^hi! 22:59, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Your hard work is about to be deleted from Wikipedia

The article you created, Destructors 666 is about to be deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Destructors 666.

The faster your respond, the better chance the article you created can be saved. This is because deletion debates only stay open for a few days, and the first comments are usually the most important.

There are several tools and other editors who can help you keep the page from being deleted forever:

1. You can list the page up for deletion on Article Rescue Squadron. If you need help listing your page, add a comment on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
2. You can request a mentor to help explain to you all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted, here: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond on the deletion page.
   
3. When try to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you.
   Here is a list of your own acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.
   Acronyms in deletion debates are sometimes incorrectly used, or ignore rules or exceptions.

If your page is deleted, you still have many options available. travb (talk) 02:26, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Shoegaze and scene that celebrates itself

hi, I guess I don't mind retaining the "scene that celebrates itself" article, but the talk page discussion is generally negative about retaining it as a separate article. I hadn't read the AfD log, but I should have. As to "shoegazing" vs. "shoegaze" -- the discussion on the talk page seems to resolve in favor of "shoegaze", as do the most relevant sources.

Sorry for making unilateral changes - I didn't realize the controversy. I'm trying to improve the article using the December issue of XLR8R, which is reasonably comprehensive. Thanks for not reverting my other additions. Let me know if you find anything else problematic. Aryder779 (talk) 19:28, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
