Begin it (and each paragraph) with a colon (:), or with one more colon than was on the previous comment, to indent.
Just thought I'd quickly mention something: I noticed that you contributed a lot to the Hipgnosis article (great article by the way). Well, I host/produce an internet radio program called "Fewsh" that airs 6-8pm EST Monday evenings on gtownradio.com (it's run out of Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) and tomorrow (June 22, 2009) I happen to be spinning only albums with covers by Hipgnosis! Check it out if you so desire. BurtonM (talk) 16:27, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
In response to your query, I added the link because I felt that it was appropriate to have the band's site there because not enough information had been provided on the band members, particularly on the 'Horns of Dilemma' who had not been mentioned at all in relation to the Violent Femmes. I have added a more specific link now, which pertains to more personal information on the band, the HoD, and also anecdotes about the band and their experiences together.
I am aware that Wikipedia articles should stand on their own, but when discovering the Violent Femmes I think it would be helpful to have a link to the Violent Femmes site itself, perhaps at the bottom of the page under 'additional links' or something. Being relatively new to Wikipedia, and having had my edit challenged, I leave this to the discretion of more practised Wikipedians.
I have to say, on looking at the discussions here concerning the Violent Femmes, it seems that some excessively aggressive debating is going on, and I think that the page should not be so aggressively disputed. It seems that I stepped onto a bomb site when editing, for which I apologise. Ecoelen2k 23:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
It's on my watchlist. If you are interested in working on music articles, you should check out WP:ALBUM, and its talk page, which is where the guidelines for albums are, and also take a look at Smile (album) which is, as far as I know, the only featured article on an album that we have (not ideal!). Revolver (album) is currently having a lot of work done upon it, and may be close to featured article status as well. As for creating articles on re-issues, I would encourage people to expand the original album article with that information, and only when that article becomes too long to split any information off.

I'm pretty bad about previewing my changes. Jkelly 04:54, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
I thought I would answer your question here since you are probably not checking back on the talk page for WP:Albums. - As far as I know, quotes are required on the discography lists for singles as well. As for the redlinks on albums, they are probably a bad idea, and they are probably not mentioned here because most redlinks for albums would be found on the band's page and not an album page. So I would try to refrain from redlinking albums unless you plan on making a page for the album in the near future. I hope this answers your question. Weatherman90 00:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Violent Femmes' first album was released in 1982, see http://vfemmes.com/disc-vfemmes-1.htm. Let's not get into an edit war on the release date. Mike Garcia 05:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Now I replied on Talk:Violent Femmes. Mike Garcia 02:54, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
How did you hear about The Gufs? They seem to be limited to Wisconsin. I think its funny how you found that article's author by checking out the author of a seemingly unrelated article!! Do you like my pic from the pits? Do you think its too gutsy displaying my pic? Royalbroil 22:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Do you know if there any's consensus or policy on this? It seems to be a total mishmash at the moment. Please reply on my talk page or at Talk:Jimmy Cauty. Thanks. --kingboyk 15:21, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. Thanks for the comments about Gorcrows. I agree that having it at the plural name is wrong. I will correct that when I have the time. As for the category, well, that part of the category system is not perfectly organised yet. There are several other things there that aren't really "races", but have been put there until someone puts them somewhere better. I've got that on my list to sort out as well. As for whether or not Gorcrows should be in the category system (by categorising the redirect), I think they should be. The category system is not meant to be used instead of a search, rather it is a browsing tool to complement searching. ie. browsing is different from searching. I think readers should be able to find Gorcrows by: (a) browsing (hence the category); (b) searching (hence the mention in the Mewlips article); and (c) following links from existing articles (only one article links to Gorcrows at the moment). I don't really mind if you put the redirect up for deletion, but I would present these arguments against it if you did. Plus the argument that the edit history before redirection needs to be preserved (not so important here, but often important in other cases). I hope that's answered some of your concerns, and thanks again for the comment. Carcharoth 23:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
It's still there. I don't know what you're talking about. SilentRage 22:18, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that they got rid of all of the states' articles. Check this out: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States musicians. I thought about doing an administrative review of the deletion, since they didn't bother to add the article to all of the states' pages. How could anyone have know that their state's list was about to be deleted? I decide not, because 1) the article was so difficult to maintain, 2) frequent vandalism, and 3) needed constant checking to keep off the red links. Doing it by categories FORCES the band to have an article, so I think its a better way. The down side is that noone thinks to look for a category, when it should be a list. You can review the administrative review procedures somewhere on the WP:AFD article if you choose. I gonna let this one pass. Whoever deleted the article should have cleaned up the dozens of red links that they created in Wisconsin. I wonder how many hundreds of red links they created nationwide. I wonder if I could use my AWB to clean it up.
I'm still listening to The Gufs CD in my car since you contacted me. I saw them a few weeks ago at Oshkosh for the first time! They were excellent. Thanks for your comments! Royalbroil 03:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for creating categories for those articles. It looks like the lists are gonna be deleted. I have awarded you the "outspoken barnstar" for your efforts! --Royalbroil 02:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
I stand behind giving you a barnstar. I have changed it to a THUMBS UP award, though. Per Wikipedia:Barnstars: "It is the custom to reward Wikipedia contributors for hard work and due diligence by awarding them barnstars." You were bold and your diligent actions set a wonderful precident for something inheritantly wrong with AFD. I don't think that barnstars should be given out easily, just in rare exceptional cases like this. --Royalbroil 02:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I am contacting you as you have expressed some interest in the current arguments over lists of X-Americans.

I'd like to consult with you on your recent edits to Wisconsin state park system pages. There's a wonderful neatness to the changes, but officially all state parks and state recreation areas, some of the state forests, and a few other oddball designations (e.g. the Scenic Waters Areas) are all part of the Wisconsin state park system. The official list is here on the WDNR website. I'm concerned that separating out the various designations masks that they are all administered together as one system. Whether a site is designated a state park or state recreation area sometimes seems to be a matter of legislative expedience rather than a difference in quality. Moreover, some WI state forests are administered by the Division of Parks and Recreation as part of this system, and others by the DNR's Division of Forestry as non-recreational, sustainable forests. Listing the Parks and Rec forests together with the other state park units clarified this division. Just something to think about; I'm interested to hear your views. McGhiever 13:22, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
You made a comment on my talk page (User_talk:Ron_Johnson) about putting nowiki tags on something I'd uploaded. I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I presume you can just go ahead and do whatever you were discussing. Again, I'm not sure what you were referring to exactly, so I can't be more specific.
I'm sorry, I don't contribute to wiki* projects anymore, the deletion activities I've seen piss me off, so I choose to make no further contributions, other than the odd comments, like this one. I also don't check my talk page very often anymore. --Ron 22:28, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm confused by your message. The article has only one source. I used the one-source tag. Why would I want to use a different one, and which one would you recommend? If I'm missing something, please point it out. Rklawton 04:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments re the long list of certification awards at 10cc. Can you please clarify a couple of things, though: what did you mean by saying "I think a better place for charting info is the album article." My question was specifically about the list of UK certifications rather than chart details. I think the chart details for their discography works OK, but I think gold/platinum etc certifications (if they're important at all) belong in the Wiki article for each album rather than the 10cc article.
Could you also please elaborate on your suggestion that "The band article could use a summary". The 10cc article is a fairly comprehensive one, but it has become rather come complicated in the last month or two with the addition of the large number of subheads that split up the band's early years. Your thoughts would be appreciated: reply here and I'll put your talk page on Watch. Thanks, Grimhim 04:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I've just created this page but the redirect from The Nice took me to an empty page for Elegy, which is a different album. I'm sure this will turn up in your watchlist but if I've goofed badle, please let me know. --Rodhullandemu 15:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
This should be just about finished; I've also put up a page for Elegy_(Nice_album) and put a lot of stuff into Second_Light if you'd care to check it out when you have time. In particular external reference 3 is in fact an internal reference but I wanted it to link without showing the title & I'm not sure this is the right way of doing it!

Hi there, FreeKee, I wonder if you can have a look at this for me & see if it can be taken out of stub; I'd put it on the WP:Albums Assessment page but it doesn't look as if anyone is picking these up just now.

The song was released as a single by Hoodoo Gurus off the band's 1991 album, Kinky. The single reached No. 3 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in that year - check the article on the album or the discograhy listing.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jumpinjive.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 07:02, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

You asked me to comment about the article's potential at DYK. Length is kind of short but long enough (around 1760 found, 1500 minimum). A DYK can't be a stub, so I removed the stub markers. It meets the date criteria. The DYK needs to be cited with an inline citation, so be careful. I read through the references, and they each reference way more than the one sentence that they are attached to. I recommend that you add them to multiple lines. I provided you with a sample of how to use several inline citations from one source. Let me know if you need more help. The picture is striking and should be recommended if you decide to list the article.
The first thing that caught my eye was: "How is this notable?" There were hundreds of gas stations brands at that time. I dug around and found 2 things that weren't noted: the brand eventually became part of Mobil Oil which makes it notable, and at least one station became a registered historic place (RHP) which is notable. I would create a section for RHP station(s), then add the article to Category:Registered Historic Places in Wisconsin. See Herman C. Timm House for the various templates related to RHP in Wisconsin. Let me know if you need help with anything. You have 5 days from creation to list it. Royalbroil 12:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Check out the image at flickr for a detailed map: http://www.flickr.com/photos/royal_broil/2157750157/ . On the lower right, click on (map) after Taken in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Then zoom in to the extreme detail. It's located at the last gravestone in that section of the cemetery. You can see the road behind the gravestone. It's a family gravestone. He's buried next to his mother and brother. I wonder if his father Gerry got buried there, too, to complete the last of the Kulwicki's. You can find a map of the cemetery at findagrave.com [2]. Kulwicki is located at the extreme left side of Section 15. There's also congressmen Klezka's grave nearby in section 12 or 13, baseball hall of famer Al Simmon's beautiful huge gravestone in section 14 or 17, and congressman Zablocki has a beautiful statue in section 15 (I think). These other people are buried in that general area. Royalbroil 03:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on HushPuppies requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Closeapple (talk) 13:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I was going to come here and thank you for your efforts in continuing the discussion, and making sure my fears (that the discussion would end and the guidelines cease to evolve) were unfounded. But then I noticed that you stopped participating. This doesn't seem like a coincidence. This was at the same time that I admitted that I was a bit upset. (Maybe I shouldn't have said that you "correctly detected the harshness of my original statement." I don't really know how harsh you thought I was being.) Would it help if I told you that I was over it? I stated my unhappiness with your actions, and you defended yourself over those actions. I made one last defense of my statement (hoping that it wouldn't be taken as trying to get the last word in), and we continued to hone the guidelines. That all seemed reasonable to me. But... I'm a consensus builder, but I should have recognized your preference for bold action, and tempered my response. -Freekee (talk) 00:13, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! - Kevin Weight, Planner III, City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office, 200 W Washington St, 17th Floor, Phoenix AZ 85003. website: phoenix.gov/historic. 148.167.2.10 (talk) 01:16, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
I noticed your photographic work on the List of Milwaukee County NRHPs. Please keep up the good work, and when you are finished, please post the results at the Fully Illustrated lists section at WP:NRHP
I also noticed that you suggest splitting the county sites off of the city sites. I've done some of this type of thing before (e.g. in Chicago) and thought I'd see how far I could get. See User:Smallbones/Milwaukee nrhps for the Milwaukee city list, renumbered up to 60 - I hate renumbering, so there are about 100 to go!
What you'd need to do now, if you want to continue, is finish the renumbering, and maybe put in neighborhoods in place of all the "Milwaukees", then create the article with a copy of the sandbox. At the old county list put in a notice that the city list is at the new page. Then give me a note and I'll strip out all the city entries from the county list. I might even be able to renumber them all! At that point double checking the numbers, and rewriting the intros is all that's needed. Smallbones (talk) 20:32, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

There is a discussion going on concerning a guideline that you were originally involved back in 2008 when it was established. You are kindly invited to comment over at WT:ALBUM#Capitalization of foreign-name albums and songs. – IbLeo(talk) 22:52, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi-The Oneida Street Station article is excellent-well written and research. I review an article on an Australian plant life on DYK on befalf of yourself and the article. I hope this will be helpful. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 11:49, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
On 10 May 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Oneida Street Station, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the ASME describes the Oneida Street Station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as the "first central power station in the United States to be equipped and successfully operated with pulverized coal?" You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi Freekee, I noticed that you mentioned something (back in 2009) on the talk page for The Rave that there should be a history section and I agree. The first time that I saw a concert there (Siouxsie and the Banshees) it was called the "Central Park Ballroom" [3], however I can't find any RS to justify adding that info to the article. The National Register of Historic Places has it listed as "Eagles Club" [4] Robman94 (talk) 14:31, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
"WikiProject Report" would like to focus on WikiProject Albums for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Other editors will also have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 00:08, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. SilkTork ✔Tea time 02:15, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
By long-established convention we have listed USA lighthouses under "X Light" rather than "X Light Station" as this is how the Coast Guard names them. You are however welcome to add a redirect from the "light station" name. And please, be my guest: work on lighthouses has flagged in recent years and there are many more to write! Thank you for your interest. Mangoe (talk) 14:56, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

For you excellence in photographing sites on the National Register of Historic Places in southeast Wisconsin. I hereby award you the Photographer's Barnstar. I was in the Milwaukee area recently and found that you have photographed almost all of the sites in the city. Also you have an excellent photograph of the Greendale Historic District which I added to its new listing as a National Historic Landmark. Also nice job with producing a photograph the stable at the Lohman Funeral Home and Livery Stable which is being razed now. Incredible combination! Royalbroil 17:43, 20 October 2012 (UTC) |
Do you ever go to the Cedarburg area? Could you take a photo of the Cedarburg Bog? Also, Lizard Mound County Park is nearby. I saw those mounds once and I was VERY impressed. Royalbroil 03:48, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello! I have a question about your old edit, the statement about "six-note motif that alludes to that work", with the reference to Tales Of 1001 Nights, Volume I liner notes. Do you still have this compilation? If yes, could you please make a picture of this fragment? I'd like to see what is stated there exactly. --Yms (talk) 05:53, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Robert Burns memorials, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Garfield Park (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

On 26 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Statue of Robert Burns (Milwaukee), which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that U.S. general Arthur MacArthur gave an address at the unveiling of a monument (pictured) to Scottish poet Robert Burns in Milwaukee? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
