I prefer if you respond on my talk page; I will probably respond on yours. Please let me know if you want otherwise.
Well, first of all thanks for notifying me. Second, let me make sure I understood you correctly. You do not like that I made the template to categorized a particular industry for the country. I thought that can be as a quick short cut for people who are interested in the industry of that country. Of course, one can use the category tab to navigate across the selections, but the template was created for convenience, primarily. I agree that it is not being followed to finish the project. I thought that some one familiar with subject will help me out with that project. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 06:20, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi Koavf. I've noticed on several templates for film directors that you've replaced the state of collapsed with autocollapse. This might be a stupid question - but what's the difference between the two?! Thanks. Lugnuts (talk) 09:55, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
I've reverted your move of 's Up to 'S Up for the time being - you can't go ahead and move that page while we're still discussing a related move elsewhere. The two pages should clearly match each other, nobody's arguing that, so let's wait for the move discussion to complete. Thanks Interplanet Janet (talk) 10:14, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
I see you are not touching stuff like the Super Bowl articles, why don't you go around changing the default sort on those? Or the Arena Bowl articles, or every other similar one? TJ Spyke 20:12, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
As Dekkappai has pointed out to me on my talk page, here and here you've announced on templates that they're nominated for deletion and in their warning templates unambiguously linked to TfD debate pagelets that . . unfortunately aren't there. Are they located elsewhere, or did you perhaps forget to make them?
Please be considerate to the hardworking Dekkappai -- who worriedly writes "Oh dear, does this mean I'll have to write an article on the sequel to Horse and Woman and Dog?" -- by explaining the matter not here, not on my talk page, but rather on his. Thank you! -- Hoary (talk) 00:56, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
The Maoist ICMLPO publishes a magasine called "International newsletter". I think removing the word "International" from the article's title was wrong. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:35, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

I'd be happy to work with you on improving the article. Thanks for the feedback, Justin. - LiveWire Legendtalk23:28, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
It doesn't matter to me whether the category name is changed or not. I actually just realized not too long that the term "EP"'s should not be used when referring to them, but instead "extended plays" like you mentioned. Thanks for asking me though =) Dottiewest1fan (talk) 03:43, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Though there doesn't seem to be any written rule that category names should match their corresponding article titles, that does seem to be the consensus of many CfD regulars; and I don't have a problem with it. However care should be taken when treating list categories as corresponding to topic articles. To take an example that you haven't come to yet, Category:DIWA-listed wetlands is for categories listed in A Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia. When reliable sources talk about the directory, they refer to it by its full name, A Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia. But when reliable sources discuss wetlands that are listed in the Directory, they invariably follow the established convention of calling them Directory wetlands, DIWA wetlands, or DIWA-listed wetlands. In accordance with the fundamental naming rule that we follow usage in reliable sources, the topic title should be the full name A Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia, but a corresponding list ought to be at something like List of DIWA wetlands. And the category, being a list category, actually corresponds to the latter not the former. Therefore I would argue that both A Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia and Category:DIWA-listed wetlands are properly titled, despite their failure to correspond.
This situation is not all that uncommon. I think the same applied to Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia / Category:IBRA regions; Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia / Category:IMCRA regions; Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers / Category:IEEE standards; etc.

Are you running some sort of bot to auto-list templates for deletion or something? Because your rationale doesn't make sense, and is identical for a tonne of templates. If not, I think your latest batch is suffering from a lack of examination. If you are running a bot, I suggest you examine the templates first, and fit the rationale to the template.
I know that you're a good user, since I've seen your work, so don't take this criticism the wrong way.
Take care.

Hello Koavf, are you really sure that dashes instead of hyphens are correct for German federal-states, e.g. here and there? At least in German language hyphens are regularly used, cf. #7 ("Zusammensetzungen gleichberechtigter Eigennamen" = conjunction of equal proper nouns) … --:bdk: 01:04, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
At the risk of also sounding preachy, it often really benefits to deeper look at the situation at hand (or maybe even ask preliminary questions) before preaching obvious to others. But anyway, I'll make it a priority to work on/around those two templates (and likely switch my vote to "delete" at the TfD for both of them) early next week. One thing is for sure—((Infobox settlement)) would be a horrible, horrible substitution in this case (unless, of course, all you care about is having an infobox of any sort in the article, which I hope isn't what's going on here). Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); February 27, 2010; 16:43 (UTC)
I notice you moved the article for the University of South Carolina football stadium to Williams–Brice Stadium, citing the MOS. I think the article should be moved back to its original title of "Williams-Brice Stadium", with a hyphen.
The stadium name is NOT a combination of the names of two separate people named Williams and Brice. It's named after one person, specifically Martha Williams-Brice, who funded the stadium's first major expansion. (See the "History" section). Typically, double-barreled surnames are divided by hyphens, not dashes. — Dale Arnett (talk) 20:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Not sure if you realize that "BGN/PCGN romanization" is actually what the system is called (with a slash); see, for example, the pdf file used as a source. I don't believe our own guidelines can overwrite actual usage. Please, take another look at this. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); March 2, 2010; 13:54 (UTC)

I see you made 73 nominations for merging/renaming/deleting on February 23. Please note that making too many nominations on one day can overload the CfD process; most days don't have more than 20 discussions. Please don't make too many nominations on a single day - in CfD, I would place it at a maximum of 5-10. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for getting in touch with me about the file. I added the tag to this file while I was in the process of compiling a volume on Meteorology, through PediaPress. This particular file was not rendering within the software correctly so I intended to (temporarily) exclude it from print. The book I was working on is now complete, so if you wish, feel free to remove the template from this image. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have created.

I was wondering, as no one else has voted to delete yet, if you wouldn't mind withdrawing the nomination and instead participating in the discussion at Template talk:Quote box2#State of the sandbox. It would probably be simpler to keep the discussion in one place, and you could always renominate for deletion if the discussion doesn't go anywhere. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:27, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Justin, I need some real tutoring. I really want to add to the Rory Gallagher article here, but know next to nothing about discographies (and computers, actually). Someone made a discography page as a separate entity here, but I'm confused as to how to go about putting together the bands that Gallagher formed before he went solo, (even some of his dozen or so solo albums don't have album pages, much less his songs)-- and his compilations with people like Muddy Waters, Jack Bruce, Buddy Guy, etc. would really be an asset to both the Gallagher article and also to the discographies of the other notable musicians he's worked with. Unfortunately, I can't find anybody to TEACH me how it's done, which is a shame since I could do a lot for many articles if I knew.. you know the old saying, something like, ".. but teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime", or something like that. Would you answer on my talk page? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 21:15, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Great! Actually, it's smarter-- if you're willing-- take a look at the article, and assess what should come first. Normally, I'm a wikignome, finishing up people's stuff, or adding to it, not the other way around. I edit about 12 articles now and then, and find photos for musicians' biographies via Creative Commons, about 350 photos. There's an incomplete list on my Userpage. Are you familiar with Rory's music? His performances were so intense they were frightening! When I found the article hadn't been touched much since 2005, I added his early biography, and 3 photos. There is a lot left needed all over the thing, though. I'm asking if you know his music, since his agoraphobia prevented him from touring the USA very much. As I did for the Derek Trucks, Cat Stevens and many other articles, I want to place photos and music clips probably later.
Hi, Justin. I posed a question for you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive248#Request for lifting ban on the assumption that you would be watching that discussion, but I thought I would post a note about it here in case you aren't. See this diff if it isn't obvious which question I mean. --RL0919 (talk) 01:04, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Justin. Since your disagreement with Tom Ruen we have been discussing the SVG vs. PNG issue here, and a clear consensus has emerged to keep the png format at least for now. As and when the svg rendering issues can be overcome, svg remains an option for the future. My initial thoughts were for svg, but the technical investigations (some by me) and follow-up arguments have now convinced me otherwise. Ah, well. I hope that, like me, you can bring yourself to live with the result. Many thanks for trying the svg route so determinedly, anyway. -- Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 20:56, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Justin
at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 March 14#Category:Irish_scholars_and_academics, I have suggested that if you withdraw the nom, I will do the fix pronto.
That's just a suggestion. No pressure, and if you want to let the CFD run, that's fine.
But if you're OK with the solution, it might be a good idea to do it now.

Maybe you missed this template move? Furthermore, I am not convinced that WP:NOTBROKEN applies to template redirects. A little further down that page it reads "Redirects for templates can cause confusion and make updating template calls more complicated." But don't worry, I am not going to do them all – there are far too many. It was merely a small morning exercise with AWB. – IbLeo(talk) 07:38, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Just so you know, when you come across an album whose artist doesn't have an article and which doesn't make a credible claim of notability otherwise, you don't actually have to take it to AFD for a full week — instead, you can just go right ahead and speedy delete it under criterion A9. I'm not sure if you're an administrator or not, but if you aren't you can still tag it with one of ((db-a9)), ((db-album)) or ((db-song)). And then you can tag the category as empty with ((db-c1)). Hope that helps a bit...should save you a bit of work, at least. Bearcat (talk) 17:42, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
There's a Category:British blues groups, but not one for Irish blues groups. I don't feel too confident in starting a list like that, but after speaking to you about the few I know of that were Irish blues bands: Rory Gallagher, Thin Lizzy, Van Morrison, could you help to start a Category for these Irish performers? I also noticed that Gallagher's bassist from Belfast, Ireland, Gerry McAvoy, and his harmonica player, Mark Feltham are in a band called Nine Below Zero, and I believe do not belong in the "British" category, but am unsure of the qualifications. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 18:34, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, In order to be a useful (and acceptable) list, List of New Zealand musical acts that have charted internationally needs to indicate which charts the acts have appeared on, together with date and song/album.

You might be interested to know that R.E.M. actually was not known as Twisted Kites during their first show, as legend has it. Buckley's book explains the band had no name until they chose R.E.M., and that Peter Buck was the only band member who advocated the name Twisted Kites. The name "Twisted Kites" appeared on one flier, but that was the only flier that made any mention of the then-nameless R.E.M., becuase thay made it a point to not promote themselves for that show since they hadn't picked a name. Mike Mills suspected Buck had something to do with that flier because he was the only one who liked the name. As of that first show, R.E.M. didn't have a name.

Hello Koavf, I'm Airplaneman. I have seen you a lot around TfD and had a question about transclusions: how do you count how many pages templates are transcluded on? Thanks, Airplaneman talk 02:23, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Koavf. I have noticed that you have listed a number of demo albums for deletion using speedy criteria A9. That criteria should only be used where the artist's article does not exist (having either never existed or been deleted). I agree that the notability of some of these albums is open to debate, but they should be PRODed or listed at WP:AFD. If you feel that demo albums occupy a grey area - which I think they may well do - you might consider making a request for comment. Let me know if you have any questions.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Remain in Light. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Radiopathy •talk• 01:24, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
