Hello.

I'm here. The comment has been deleted. I am currently working on ferreting out the last month's U2 news, I can write an item for this month's newsletter if you like. Neranei ^T/C 22:26, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

newsletters

the august newsletter will be released on the 10th august and the september newsletter will be released on the 1st sept. all newsletters from then on will be released on the first of the month. you can help writing the u2 news section. we are doing themed newsletters so we dont want anybody to know until they are released. the august newsletter is here and september is here. do not edit the newsletters, just view and then put your ideas here.

OK, I will be happy to do the news; I spend way too much time reading fan sites. :P. So, do you want an item in the AUgust newsletter? I've got one (pretty important) piece of news, and have got info on a couple more. I will go check out the newsletters now. Neranei ^T/C 22:32, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Ummm, just FYI, the red is a bit painful on the eyes with the blue links. Otherwise, it is really cool. I really like the idea of the themed newsletters! Neranei ^T/C 22:33, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

put your full news article (as you would present it in the newsletter) here and me and joelster may use it (i still have to get an ok from him). if he agrees, you can write news on this page and we will put it in the newsletter. also what do you think of themed newsletters??? we have the newsletters up to september finished and a draft of the rest up to december.

(edit conflict) I just read the ATYCLB issue; it is awesome! Are you just going to go backwards? Um, I've got some more specific stuff on the new album; I am just writing it up right now. I'll post any more news I find here; I've got a few good ones, I think. I love the themed newsletters, especially the idea of using pictures from that era. I can find "did you know"s for any and all albums, if you want, I can find some. Neranei ^T/C 22:40, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

i agree ATYCLB is really cool. we had more time to work on it! we hope to go backwards and do all the albums. also we will release a special edition on the same day as the new album (how cool is that). put news here and we will use as much as we need. i dont know if we are doing 'did you knows', joelster just put it in and i thought it was cool. if you have any very interesting ones just put them here. Smithcool 22:46, 4 August 2007 (UTC) (i fixed the colour in the august newsletter)

It is awesome! I can/will help with the new album edition, atu2.com has a nice little feature on the album, wiht possible songs, etc. Here are the news items I have, they were all that's come up this month that is worthy of mention.

• The band have returned from Fez, Morocco, working on their album. According to Adam, “There’s definitely an album in there.” Some possible songs include : “Mercy”, “If I Could Live My Life Again”, and “North Star”.
• The Republican National Committee has taken the first step to endorsing Bono’s ONE initiative, with a potential donation of 30 billion dollars in U.S. taxes.

thanks for that, both bits of news were added to the august newsletter. it will be out on august 10th if there are no more delays. Smithcool 23:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome; if any more news comes out between now and September, I'll let you know; I am working on Did You Knows for earlier albums, you don't have to use them if you don't want to. Neranei ^T/C 03:28, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

new topic

any ideas for the outreach dept.?? Smithcool

Well, what were your plans for it? Neranei ^T/C 22:54, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

i dont have any. i thought you may have an idea or to. maybe find out if people are happy with the newsletter or if they want to put there own bits into it. also dont tell people about the themed newsletter. Smithcool 23:02, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I won't tell anyone about it; it'll be a great surprise! Perhaps we could make one of those cool little ads- like at Wikipedia Ads- that tells people about out project. That'd be cool! Neranei ^T/C 23:05, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

if you know how to make an ad, tell me and we will. im off to bed now (i dont know where you live, but its late here in ireland). try to think of ideas for the outreach dept and ill talk to you tomorrow. Smithcool 23:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, I will be on sporadically tomorrow, but if I catch you we can talk, if not, you can just leave a message here or on my talk page and we'll communicate that way. Um, I think that making ads is simple; I'm not sure how to do it though. We can work on that tomorrow, I guess. Good night! Neranei ^T/C 03:27, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

delete

if it is ok with you can i delete the past few convos of this page?? nobody else will look at it anyway. Smithcool 22:48, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Sure, you should probably archive it though. That way, if we forget something, we can find it again.

ill just leave it then.

If it gets too long, we can make a page like User_talk:Smithcool/Newsletter/Archives or something like that.

ok
