Additionally I noticed you a fan of Michael Jackson. You might be interested in joining WP:MJJ to help improve articles relating to the singer. Have a good day. — Realist² 16:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I replied on my talk page. — Realist² 16:37, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

BTW, I'm very impressed with your edits thus far at Wikipedia, you seem to be getting the hang of it. It's nice to see you improving articles with sources as well. Also, have a wonderfulwinter holiday. — Realist² 17:20, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Well done on creating that article btw, it's always been one I wanted to get around to creating. I've watchlisted it, but be aware of the anti Jackson pov pushers that might stalk it. — Realist² 22:01, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

If you can find anymore info for Blood on the Dance Floor (song) it would be really helpful. I can't find any more info on the song, and would like to take it to WP:GA. — Realist² 02:44, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

I think we could do an article for the title track to the Dangerous album. Although it was never released as a single, it remains one of his most recognized pieces because he has performed it live so many times. Some might argue it's not notable, thus, if we were to write it, it should be done in a sandbox, to see if we have enough reliably sourced info to sustain an article. — Realist² 18:58, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

OK, we can build it up here. I've watchlisted it. If we get enough info together we could create it properly. — Realist² 19:38, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Sanjay Pandey

A tag has been placed on Sanjay Pandey, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. Bongomatic 00:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Steven Hoefflin

You should nominate this article for WP:DYK. — Realist² 19:05, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Well done, hope it get's on the main page, like I said, I'm very happy with your efforts thus far, you've really got the hang of it. Seeming as you love creating new articles, DYK could become your new best friend. ;D. If your nomination is successful you will get a notice like this. It's best to keep checking your nomination, they might leave comments/questions on it. — Realist² 01:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll assume this account doesn't belong to you? Some prankster?. I can try and get it blocked indef if you like. — Realist² 16:43, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Fried. :D — Realist² 17:11, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Welldone! — Realist² 04:04, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks and good luck with your DYK for Thriller - Live. Pyrrhus16 15:09, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Articles to create

I think we should make some article for Jackson's books, moonwalk and that 1992 book as well. Send them to DYK. Thoughts? — Realist² 18:20, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Nice start, I'll add some more info to it before we send it live, there should be plenty available, I'll try google news. BTW, read Thriller – Live, I've already sent it to DYK ;D — Realist² 23:30, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I've had a look and I really can't find anymore information. It's best to go ahead and create the article now. Nominate it for DYK as well. Best. — Realist² 23:52, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: Edit

In what way was this unconstructive? Proxima Centauri 2 (talk) 15:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Replied here. Pyrrhus16 12:30, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Since when does adding an infobox....

to Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award and filling it in constitute a deconstructive contribution? Is switching from two columns to one for {{reflist}} unconstructive? I might have been terse with my edit summaries but they were specific ("add infobox" and "References: single column"). Perhaps your WP:HG trigger fingers was itchy? Feel free to post a retraction to User talk:67.101.6.132 if you think you might have erred in this case. Thanks. 67.101.6.132 (talk) 11:18, 25 January 2009 (UTC).

Henley Business School

Why was this entry deleted? Pls clarify. Henley Management College (HMC) has officially changed its name to Henley Business School, and the old entry under HMC is outdated, incomplete and incorrect. Kindly undo this deletion.

I've fixed it for you. Pyrrhus16 13:48, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Page blanking by author

Hi. Though page blanking is usually vandalism and needs to be reverted, it is worth looking first at the page history, because quite often the author has blanked his own page, as was the case with Harvey mason, jr. just now. In those cases the best thing is to tag it {{db-author}}. It can be confusing for an author who realises his page is inappropriate and blanks it, if his page is at once restored and he is accused of vandalism for the blanking and told it was unconstructive. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:01, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

• It was a duplicate - he has also got Harvey Mason, jr., and though that has a copyvio tag he has posted on the talk page that he has sent an email with permission. JohnCD (talk) 19:08, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Moon Walk (autobiography)

Are you planning to expand the article with other material from the book you've cited multiple times? If not, it's probably better to change the notes section to a references section and cite the same page multiple times. - Mgm|^(talk) 21:23, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I did this, to make things neater. — Realist² 23:45, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Cheers. Pyrrhus16 11:05, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Word of advise

Regarding this, rock on the net is not reliable source. However, you should be able to find a list of all his awards (up to 2004) in the booklet of his 5 disk box set. I agree this needs a major overhaul.— Realist² 00:39, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. Yes, it really does need a good clean. Pyrrhus16 11:05, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I've got it watchlisted and will take a strong read of it, give you some feedback in the coming days. Note, I have never got an article to FL, I did try once with the list of the best selling albums worldwide, but it wasn't a success. Still there's lot's I can help out with. — R² 17:03, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
