Your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unitarian Universalists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

I liked your merger idea. There are quite a few of these articles. I contacted several editors who work a lot on UU articles a day or so ago to see if we could do something along the same lines (although I did not know about that list). Only one has responded so far. I nom'ed a few of (what I thought were) the cruftier articles for deletion, but there are a lot more that probably don't rate their own articles. I'm not sure how much coverage "Unitarian Universalists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals" should have. JChap2007 02:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note! Not being a UU and not having a lot of interest in these articles, I wasn't really volunteering to do the leg work. I found the Affiliate article from a link in the UUETA article. You might just try merging some of these yourself and seeing if a redirect sticks or gets reverted. At this point its up to you though since the various AfDs are already in motion. Good luck, -MrFizyx 21:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Even if you don't want to do the legwork, I'd appreciate your voice at Talk:Unitarian Universalist Independent Affiliate organizations for discussion. HellaNorCal 04:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

On second thought, I'm not sure merging to the list is a good idea. Wikipedia: Lists (stand-alone lists)#Selection criteria says that list items should have their own articles or that its reasonable to expect an article to be forthcoming in the future. As this topic is not covered in relable sources, we would not be able to write an article on it. JChap2007 14:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, those criteria seem pretty cyptic, too many X's. I think this depends on how things are done. You're right. We probably shouldn't compose a mere list of topics that don't deserve an article. It might, however, be possible to produce a good article on Unitarian Universalist Independent Affiliate organizations that mentions many of these organizations and is descriptive of the rich diversity that exists within the larger UU church. Most of these organizations have their own web sites that provide basic descriptions. While we would ideally like to rely on secondary sources to do our fact checking, in some cases the primary source may be the best source (we allow this sort of thing for living persons with their own web site for example). To mention them in the Affiliate Org. article, we would still need some source outside of the organization to at least acknowledge that they exits though. Well, these are my opinions at least. I'm curious what our friend(s) have to say about the sock puppetry business that you've observed. -MrFizyx 17:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

This listing at uua.org, for example, could serve as one filter to weed out hoaxes and groups that the UU doesn't recognize. -MrFizyx 17:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Or maybe actually this page. -MrFizyx 17:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

My initial reaction is that I like that idea, but we would need to find reliable sources that describe the UUA as diverse. And of course there is still the link farm concern. Merging all that content just to see it get deleted would be a waste of effort. I don't think I'd nominate the article in AfD, but there are editors who would just for being a linkfarm. Working discussion of some of the organizations into Unitarian Universalism and Unitarian Universalist Association where relevant may be a better way to go. JChap2007 00:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

By the way, their response to my concerns about the sockpuppetry was underwhelming. [1] JChap2007 00:40, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Shiny new buttons

Two weeks ago I couldn't even spell administratur and now I are one (in no small part thanks to your support). Now that I checked out those new buttons I realize that I can unleash mutant monsters on unsuspecting articles or summon batteries of laser guns in their defense. The move button has now acquired special powers, and there's even a feature to roll back time. With such awesome new powers at my fingertips I will try to tread lightly to avoid causing irreversible damage and getting into any wheel wars. Thanks again and let me know whenever I can be of use. ~ trialsanderrors 06:32, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

from kmzundel RE: Ellis Paul page

I am so embarrassed that I was talking to myself. Thanks for the reply. At first I started to leave my comment (about author Stephen Thanabalan) on the Ellis Paul talk page - would that have been appropriate? I find this whole Talk thing very confusing. I promise I am NOT a moron.  :-) I'm going to be enhancicng the Ellis Paul bio and am researching and studying up on Wiki-format. The first thing I noticed was the unverified source. As I said, I'm a librarian by profession, so I understand the importance of citing/verifying references. Thank so much (again). I did print/read the Help page for Talk. I think it's simply going to take some additional experience using Talk until I get the hang of it. Kmzundel 22:39, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

MrFizyx, Thanks for the help on the Ellis Paul page. I wanted to make an internal link for David Wilcox (musician) but could not figure out how to do the disambiguation thing. Help with that would be most appreciated. He's mentioned in the last paragraph of the bio under Current Career. Also....please know that the Ellis Paul article is a work in progress for me. I will be beefing up the other bio sub-sections as time allows. Kind regards, Kmzundel 03:04, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the assistance (again!) and the kind comments. Kmzundel 10:32, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Roger Manning

I guess my edit summary was a bit authoritarian, but it was really just a judgment call rather than any hard-and-fast ruling and I don't have anything against putting both lines there. The thing is that there are only two blue links at Roger Manning (disambiguation) and one red link (with little explanation), so don't the specific link and the disambiguation link amount to the same thing? (Or do people tend to confuse the keyboardist and the anti-folk musician often?) –Unint 01:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

request for peer review

MrFizyx, I've requested peer review for my Ellis Paul article. Would appreciate feedback from you at your convenience. Kmzundel 12:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for helping to tweak the Ellis Paul article. I've seen Westborough spelled both ways in reference to the Old Vienna Kaffeehouse and am fine with the edit. From what I've been told the number of winners in the Kerrville categories has changed many times over the years....so it's hard to say how many "new folk" winners there were in 1994. I'll try to ferret that out. You're right about the 1st Legacy CD which, in my head, I always refer to as Legacy I.  :-) Thanks again. I hope I'm getting close to GA status. The Wiki learning curve has been unbelievable. Who knew?  ;-) Kmzundel 23:45, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

A history of the KFF winners can be found here. Winners in '94 also included Slaid Cleaves. I watched the competition in '95 and '96 and I can assure you that the format hasn't changed lately. I don't know much about rating articles as GA, I haven't gone through that with my own work here yet. It really looks to me like you've done a fine job.

If you're still having fun here you might enjoy improving some other articles on Paul's singer-songwriter peers. Then again, you may want to write short articles for some of his albums. Or you may want to research something completely different. In any case, thanks for your contributions and try to keep having fun. -MrFizyx 16:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the link to the Kerrville winners! I may work on some other Wiki articles when I feel like I know a little more and am comfortable navigating in the Wiki environment. I still feel pretty shaky - especially in this Talk environment. Kmzundel 18:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

mandolin thing...

how did you get the thing that says"this user is a passable mandolinist"? Piratebob13 22:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Methodist Colleges tp box

I notice you participated in a prior discussion on the Template talk page for Methodist Colleges. I just posted this on the talk page and hope that you could return.

I discovered two sources listing Methodist colleges and universities the first is the International Association of Methodist-related Schools, Colleges, and Universities (IAMSCU) founded in 1991 which describes its members as Methodist-related schools, colleges, and universities and those with a Methodist tradition from throughout the world. the other is the directory of untied methodist related colleges, from The Untied Methodist Church in the US. Both are from the General Board of Higher Education websites:

• IAMCU website
• USA Methodist directory

From these sources this template seems pretty accurate, however it is missing several universities

Both the University of Puget Sound and Duke University are listed and the last elections for board of Directors are January 25, 2007 see here so this list seems pretty up to date, any objections to adding them back to the template?

- thank you Astuishin 18:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

The Concubine

I am satisfied with the additional sources you have added and have changed my vote to Weak Keep. Walton monarchist89 19:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Ellis Paul FA

Thanks for the kind words of congratulations. I am thrilled and humbled. Kmzundel 04:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Mr. Fizyk, I see that you added some internal links to articles that don't exist. Is that how you encouraged editors to write articles? I didn't know it was a good idea to do that. Thanks! Kmzundel 16:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, as you might guess, opinions on this topic vary. For an essay on the subject, you can take a look at WP:RED. If nothing else, red links allow you to go to where a page should be and check "what links here". It is my opinion that Jimmy LaFave, The Burns Sisters, Joel Raphael, and Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion should all be included in Wikipedia (LaFave in particular already has quite a collection of red links). All exceed the minimum criteria in the music notability guideline and have been written about in many independent, third-party sources. I would hope that we could create some short articles on each of them before your article appears on the wikipedia main page. So I guess, yes, I was encouraging you to think about them. :)

Another thing you might consider doing is writing a few short articles on Paul's most important/most frequently reviewed albums. If this interests you, take a look at WP:ALBUM for suggestions on where to begin.

Ellis is a cool guy. He handed me his guitar to play once when I asked him about an unusual tuning he had just used on stage. Your article is a nice in-depth read for someone wanting to learn about his music. Adding more supporting articles would also improve wikipedia's breadth on the topic. Regards -MrFizyx 17:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I started a stub article for Jimmy Lafave and Joel Raphael. Will try to work on them and the others as time allows. One thing I need help with though. Instead of "Jimmy LaFave", I mistakenly typed "Jimmy Lafave" (without the capital "F".) I tried to edit it, but couldn't. Can you help with that? Thanks. Kmzundel 12:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh wow....thanks for doing that and for explaining how it's done. I was feeling a bit of angst that I really screwed things up. Kmzundel 16:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

blind, lazy comment

I appreciate the apology. The problem is, I really was being lazy. I saw that there was a badly formatted inline link in the text, and I was too lazy to click on it. But again, thanks for apologizing.  :) —Carolfrog 23:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

• And I should behave better myself, and not be so sarcastic in deletion debates.  :) —Carolfrog 23:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

RfA thanks - official!

Hey, MrF, I know we've already spoken today, but this is The Official Bubba hotep RfA Thanks section, as promised to all! Thanks very much! Well, there it is. Keep fighting the good fight on the music front. :) Bubba hotep 21:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

long song titles - preserved

I saw your comment on the VFD for List of long song titles, and thought you might like to see the old list in table format. I saved it on one of my user pages. --Gbeeker 07:08, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, pity it had to go. It was good clean fun for a while. -MrFizyx 07:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

new stub articles

Mr. Fizyk, I did think that providing a reference would make the stub articles passable until I (or others) had time to really research and add content. Every time I think I have a handle on things, it seems I get my hands smacked. I'm very sorry. I would appreciate your assistance since I have a very full plate right now. Kmzundel 23:52, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I noted the articles as needing attention today hoping to enlist the help of others. Kmzundel 23:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

It's OK. Probably me since I'm stressed right now. Kmzundel 00:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Nice work on the Joel Rafael! And Thanks for catching the typo on his name. I have tons of folk magazines to scour through and will continue searching online to add content as time allows. Kmzundel 10:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Another thing....a few days ago it took me quite a while to figure out how to redirect Sarah Lee Guthrie, Johnny Irion, Sarah Lee Guthrie _and_ Johnny Irion ALL to Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion, but I did it.  :-) Kmzundel 11:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

AIV

My mistake, I meant to leave it onto your page instead. Still, it didn't meet the qualications for AIV, and he's involved in an edit war with biochemnick over the content on that page (which seems to extend beyond just removing sourced materials, it doesn't appear that cut and dry). It's a moot point anyway, as the IP vandalized again after final warning and is now blocked. ⇒ SWATJester ^{On Belay!} 22:36, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Its moot. Thanks for correcting the error on biochemnick's page. -MrFizyx 22:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for stepping in. Biochemnick 01:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

thanks

Thanks for letting me know. I would have missed it  ;) ⇒ SWATJester ^{On Belay!} 22:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Redesign of UserPage

Hey, you redesigned your UserPage! I like your music intereststs....although I don't see Ellis Paul on your list of favorites.  ;-) I'm still pouring through old issues of Dirty Linen, No Depression, and Performing Songwriter in hopes of beefing up the stub articles I started. Hopefully I'll be adding content soon. (Will be seeing Richard Shindell this Friday night!) *swoon* Kmzundel 17:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Richard Shindell said Friday night that "south of delia" is now available on his website and that, although he didn't have any copies with him in Pittsburgh, he would have them at shows by this week. Kmzundel 22:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Aware Records

Hi. I did the Aware list and yes, i was lazy and did it by first name (using Excel). I'll change it, since I just didn't think about the fact that most lists are done by surname.

Radoslav Lorcovic

I'm very familiar with Rad. I've seen him play with RS once or twice, (RS was solo when I saw him last week) but I've seen Rad play with EP quite a few times - including 4 shows at Club Passim in Boston this past Dec. 30 and 31 and the past several years at the WoodyFest held every July in Okemah, OK. Rad is part of the house band at WoodyFest and everyone, (and I mean everyone) wants him to play with them: Jimmy LaFave, The Burns Sisters, on and on. Fun, fun, fun. Kmzundel 01:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Nice resources page! I'll try to determine if there's others that should be added. Kmzundel 01:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I added 3 resources. Where would you put Internet radio links? (Like Folk Alley) Another category? Kmzundel 10:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band

Hey Mr Fizyx

Thanks for cleaning up my corrections to the Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band post. I wanted to make sure that Tim Germer did not get forgotten. I did not figure I needed a reference, because I was speaking from personal experience. I knew all those guys at Moravian. In fact, by my wikipedia "handle", you might identify me as the source of information for that obscure Moravian College Class Notes that you dug up. I was in touch them all as we were planning our 25th ReUnion, but none could attend.

Mr Fizyx is an interesting handle...do I know you?

Cheers,

Methodist Colleges

I created the article for the IAMSC, I know its been a long time but I've been on a break so have not gotten a around to until now. So far I have only included the US members however I realized that there are over 700 university internationally that are in this organization. In the US there is the another organization called the "National Association of Schools and Colleges of The United Methodist Church", seems to encompass the US colleges. However it does not have a separate website to draw from, and it has been fairly undiscussed. What are your thoughts? - thank you Astuishin 10:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Jimmy LaFave

Mr. Fizyk, I added an infobox, diocography and some content to Jimmy LaFave...but still didn't get a Contents box...so I added "Biography" as a section....moving the section break back and forth a couple times...but I don't like how the whole page is displaying. Take a look when you can. Kmzundel 19:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I just added a photo to the infobox and am unable to re-size it! Drat! I tried making the pixel size smaller with no luck!Kmzundel 21:19, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I was at Mary Jo's Pancake Breakfast too in 2005! 2006 also! (I uplaoded a smaller photo, but I still don't like how it's displaying.) Kmzundel 22:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I checked my WoodyFest online albums from 2005 and 2006....and Jimmy *is* wearing the same t-shirt! Too funny! BUT....in 2005 David Amram was wearing a red shirt (as in your photo) whereas in 2006 he was wearing a blue one. So, yes, my picture is definitely from 2006.  :-) I have quite a few good ones from the 2006 Pancake Breakfast. Kmzundel 22:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Ohio Wesleyan University

I'm thankful for your joining in the discussion on the OWU talk page. I am one of those people who is critical of this page as it has a definate bias/tilt with numerous sock puppets who only come out when there is something semi-controversial. So don't be surprised if you find yourself a victem of attack as several of us have been! Also, you might want to look up some of the stuff on activism on the talk pages... namely look up the activism 3rd archive and see everything from Activism still needs a lot of work on down (including the review of the end/foot notes which show a history of questionable interpretation on other references.) The article has come a LONG way thanks to the efforts of some, but it does have a few radicals.Balloonman 17:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement. I think it is important that we do not ignore abuse if it arises again. If you would like to, you can help me watch and if push comes to shove support me if action needs to be taken. Hopefully none will be needed.

I certianly won't be able to double check everything on the page, but I do plan to follow up on what appear to me to be inaccuracies. We'll see how it goes. Regards, -MrFizyx 05:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Rotary telephones

I hope that you don't mind me borrowing your rotary telephone tag for my user page. It goes even further than using a typewriter in describing my age. Not necessarily my maturity or political acumen. Although we may disagree on some finer issues, it sounds that we may agree on the overall goals. My advocacy of some compromises don't fully reflect my personal stance, but I see some resolution as better than none. Please take the time to stick with the WP:N discussion. Talk to you soon. --Kevin Murray 23:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Missing Jimmy LaFave photo

Mr. Fizyk, do you have any idea why my Jimmy LaFave infobox photo is gone? I took that photo and am sure I indicated that I owned it when I uploaded the file. I didn't do anything different on that upload than I did on the Joel Rafael, Sarah Lee Guthrie, and Ellis Paul photos...which were not remeoved. The Jimmy LaFave photo (file) seems to be gone. (And the History page does not show that it was removed.) Kmzundel 00:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

KMZ, this is very strange. I don't know why it no longer appears in the info box for the Jimmy LaFave article. When I go to the page, Image:JimmyLaFave4.jpg from the search bar I can view the document just fine. I have seen something like this once before, it may be some sort of error on Wikipedia's servers. -MrFizyx 01:15, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your help. Thank you. Kmzundel 01:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Bill Miller

Sorry - I misread and missed the grammy. There's no proper references, though, so the information in the articles not yet verified - if you could add some more refrences, etc, that would be great.

The mention of the Grammy's the only assertion of notability at all at pressent. No more bongos 17:01, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

You're right about the status of the article. I will keep it mind as another thing to get to eventually... For now i have piled on a few stub tags. Rest assured that an article on Miller does belong here and that there are sources out there to support it. It is not by chance that when you google the very common name "Bill Miller", the first hit is this guy's web site. -MrFizyx 17:21, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I was wrong to tag it. (No more bongos 17:25, 3 May 2007 (UTC))

Userfying lists

Hi. You noted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs about weather that you would like the lists userfied if the closing decision was to delete them. I have closed the discussion, deleting 15 lists and retaining 11 lists as "no consensus, relist at discretion". Which of the thus far deleted lists would you like me to userfy? I'd be happy to userfy all 15, but am concerned that the fix-up of so many lists simultaneously could prove overwhelming. However, if you want them, just let me know at my talk page. Cheers, Black Falcon ^(Talk) 23:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Black Falcon, thanks for giving a very thoughtful response and closure to the debate. I'm disappointed by the still large deletion, but I appreciate that you spent literally hours struggling with the issues. Although I did make a point with the "weather songs" example, that probably isn't my highest priority. On a whim I've written a new intro for the List of songs about divorce article based on a journal article dealing with the subject. If you recreate that page I'll add the into and start to cleanup/improve the sourcing of that list first.

I would be interested in having the remaining deleted pages userfied. I don't have a time-line for fixing them though, and will likely pick some battles and let go of others in the end. There are a few that I edited during the debate though I didn't mention them there. Deleted ones I recall are motorcycles, astrology, and criminals. I also see significant potential for disease, children, childhood, death, prostitution, and automobiles. (--That makes for an odd sentance read out of context.)

I'm not familiar with any hard rules on userfied articles (how long you may harbor them etc.), but I'll start to look at what ever you give me (assuming the text and edit histories can in fact be unearthed a good while later). Thanks again. -MrFizyx 00:19, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Heh. That is indeed an odd sentence, but it would make a great conclusion to a speech, wouldn't it? ;)

There are really only a few hard rules for userfied articles: compliance with the biographies of living persons policy, compliance with the neutrality policy, and evidence of intent to improve the content and to reintroduce it into the article mainspace. I may have skipped one or two, but the bottom line is that userfied articles may be kept only as long as there is the intent to reintroduce them to the article mainspace at some point. Anyway, please specify a subpage or folder you want me to userfy the lists to and I will do so. Cheers, Black Falcon ^(Talk) 02:09, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

By the way, another editor has asked that List of songs about weather be included as one of the deleted/userfied pages. He contends, and I agree, that it will almost certainly be deleted if sent to AfD in its current state. Would you agree to have it userfied as well, to avoid an (in all likelihood) excess AfD? Since you were the only to (sort of) argue that it ought to be kept, I would feel comfortable modifying my closure if you don't object to its userfication. Please let me know. Thanks, Black Falcon ^(Talk) 04:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Done! Best of luck. Black Falcon ^(Talk) 15:00, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

response from Mandsford

Glad to make the acquaintance... there are a lot of great ideas that are poorly presented, and I like the approach of improving rather than deleting. I was recalling your name as Mr. Fixyz (fix 'is) rather than Mr. Fizyx (physics). The Mr. Mxyzptlk reference is, as DC comics would remind us readers decades ago, to be pronounced "mix-yez-pittle-ik". (Mark Ford, aka Mandsford 12:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC))

AfD nomination of Dromedary (band)

I've nominated Dromedary (band), an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Dromedary (band) satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dromedary (band) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Dromedary (band) during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Videmus Omnia 15:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

There's no need to list that article; I'll delete it since it was included in the nomination. Thanks for the heads up. Sr13 21:10, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Mexican?

Just so you know Fiel a la Vega is not a Mexican band,[2] the band is from Puerto Rico, there is a huge difference between both, better do some research next time before you offend someone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.198.206 (talk • contribs)

Sorry, I don't follow. Are you saying that you were offended by my mis-statement in the edit history of a redirect page? My concern was finding a reasonable place to redirect some redlinks to Tito Auger. I don't pretend to have thoroughly researched him or his band. Lacking an article about him, this was a good redirect. Perhaps you should just get over it. -MrFizyx 21:03, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I know you have some history with this article. It's been vandalized again, but I really do not know how to contact an administrator or protect the page. Would you take a look? Thewikichicky —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 03:54, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey Wikichicky, so long as the vandal is only making one or two edits a day, the vandalism is easy to clean up. Lets make the next warning a "final warning" (like {{uw-vandalism4}}) and if he/she persists after that we can make a post here and they will likely permenantly block the account given that it has been used only for vandalism.

This may not solve the problem if the vandal simply creates a new account. I think the real hope is that the person doing this will just get bored. I'll continue to keep an eye on the article/editor from time to time. -MrFizyx 16:02, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Coltrane-Last Trane.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Coltrane-Last Trane.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BetacommandBot 18:58, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

LIST TRANSFER

I'm planning to transfer most of the list of songs on your userpage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MrFizyx/songs) to my userpage and I'm willing to do my own work on it, plus with willing collaborations. Specifically, the sites under "songs" that are earmarked for deletion.

Please contact me through my user talk page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ianlopez1115) for further coordination.

Wikipedia questions

MrFizyk, I have a couple questions about Wikipedia that I'd like to ask you offlist. I checked your User page for an e-mail address, but is your User page gone? Anyway, would you please shoot me an e-mail at kmzundelatcomcastdotnet? Thanks! Kmzundel (talk) 16:12, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I've never enabled e-mail because I don't like to talk wikipedia off-line. I already waste too much time here. I suppose I could though for you. -MrFizyx (talk) 19:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Soultans:

I don't know if you remember or not, but you commented on the Soultans article, saying that it might not meet the notability guidelines etc. I've just gone through everything and managed to get a few sources of what their chartings were and which albums they've released (I was surprised to learn they signed up with BMG for an album, but the source doesn't give much info, so I'm unsure if it's true or not, but the source is reliable). Things might not be 100% correct (Due to language barrier of the sites) but I tried my hardest etc. I'll try and see if there's any more info, but it'd be great if you could check it out to see if 1) It does finally meet notability standards and 2) everything seems okay? (It was my first time doing chart tables). Cheers, Spawn Man (talk) 09:19, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Well I checked it out and the Soultans did sign on with BMG, so I guess that makes them notable in itself - I mean signing on with the record company who are associated with Elvis and others etc isn't something unnotable riight? Well not that the article's bigger, I can put it on DYK. It'd still be great if you could check it out though. Cheers, Spawn Man (talk) 09:34, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Nope, that sounds fair. I think the note to go to Soultans will be enough. :) Cheers, Spawn Man 04:35, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
