I prefer if you respond on my talk page; I will respond on yours. Please let me know if you want otherwise.
By the way, I'm not an admin--once a month, I get a request for admin help. See WP:AN.
Your edit here is not referenced in the article. The original vinyl, nor the cassette copy, or the CD version of the album had ANY liner notes, other than a list of the musicians etc. There is nothing in the article to substantiate your claim that Greil Marcus wrote any liner notes for the album - or a few others you have tagged with this claim. Staying within the realms of semi-politeness, I can only describe some of your recent additions to WP as "mindless editing." If you are really interested in getting your edit count higher I suggest you look at your edits over the past few months and see which ones need undoing! --Richhoncho (talk) 10:22, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Spot the typo :) I'd fix it, but it seems I can't. Regards, Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:35, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
I'll quote: "Be careful about citing this principle too aggressively. Just as one can incorrectly judge that another is acting in bad faith, so too can one mistakenly conclude that bad faith is being assumed, and exhortations to "Assume Good Faith" can themselves reflect negative assumptions about others if a perceived assumption of bad faith was not clear-cut." Your continued actions and the OTHER people's comments in the section give plenty of suggestions to support my assumption of your motives . . . which were not even part of the question I posed. This was not a personal attack. I didn't even name you in the comment, it was a passing statement to advance beyond to short term issue that had been resolved. Resolved with you being penalized for your misuse of the AWB tool, I will point out. Perhaps knowing what motivates your own actions, you protest too much.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The Big Day (album) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Big Day (album) (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. --Gh87 (talk) 05:59, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, Justin. I'd be happy for you to come by the museum on any Tuesday or Wednesday, if you're able, to touch base and just to allow us to host you for a fun visit (just couldn't be a whole collections tour.) We'd definitely like to keep you in the loop as we move forward with sharing more content. We need to gather up a solid contingency of helpers (even if everyone just does a little.) Also, there's talk of a city-wide Wikipedian-in-Residence position that we may need this fall in preparation for the super bowl. (Shhh... :) So keep that in mind. Thanks Justin!

On the basis of your recommendation below, i incorporated some information into Name of the Czech Republic article, that were (as in the case of the original article) completely (word by word) deleted without any discussion or notice by Mewulwe user. I think it is sufficient proof, that the war has been continued, but not from my side. As the incidence of deleting facts is so frequent, that nothing i write endures on the page longer that one hour, i hope you will understand, that my patience is over and i don´t need to feel paranoic, if i declare, that it is an arbitrary act of that user.
Edit-war It looks like your draft of this article has some good content, but I think it would be more better to incorporate that into Names of the Czech Republic rather than create an article for this term itself. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:14, 18 August 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neewi (talk • contribs)
In this edit you broke links to three audio files, which have all consequently been deleted as unused fair-use files. Similarly in this edit. Presumably there are many similar edits that I haven't come across yet. Please could you fix the links that you have broken, and get the files undeleted (e.g., at WP:REFUND). --Zundark (talk) 13:44, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Koavf. Can you please ensure you check the edits you make using AWB... You appear to have added duplicate ((linkrot)) tags to a load of articles, here are some examples: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]... Cheers, Nikthestoned 11:40, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
I think your query might be wrong; first page I was about to reflink after my last batch: Stealing Fire (Boy Hits Car album)! Nikthestoned 14:44, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
Digital Population (EP); Funeral (album); Inside the Station – Remix EP; Iron Flowers (Repeater album); Lemar discography; Motionless Hour EP; Sacred Groove; Sally Can't Dance; Tesla discography; The Pistol; Thunder discography;
I can't be positive but based on the information provided and that I've found, I am fairly confident the albums such as BG and Big Tea in NYC are released as compilations of earlier recordings and not actually released in the years stated in the Benny Goodman article.
My feeling is that the release dates came from bennygoodman.com, which they seem to be listing the earliest recording date and not necessarily the release date. I'm going through the entire Benny Goodman discography list and will be updating it as soon as I can with correct release dates, or maybe both recording and release dates. Thanks. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 19:11, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Julius Salik requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I've declined your speedy request, as I think it doesn't fit in the category. It's a test record, not a record with a 'performer' who would be expected to have an article. If you still feel strongly that it should go, you should use PROD or AfD. Peridon (talk) 15:37, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey Justin. I do still plan on working on the Breaking Bad articles, and I've been saving the articles as they've been written about that show (and podcasts as they've been recorded) so I can write about the individual episodes later. I needed to take a bit of a wikibreak because of real-life circumstances, but I do plan to go back and work on them down the road, probably within a few weeks. If you'd like to work on them in the meantime, by all means go for it, but I definitely haven't forgotten about them and hope to work on them again soon. — Hunter Kahn 17:08, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Koavf. Thanks for alerting people to which articles contain bare urls. It's worth noting that the advice is to tag the reference section rather than the top of the article. And while I understand that sometimes one is too busy to do the work oneself (I will often tag an article I am reading with issues that I don't have time to deal with myself, but which I feel I shouldn't simply ignore), I have noted that you sometimes have focused simply on tagging. It is more helpful to the project as a whole if people spent some time working on correcting the issues. If people have a choice of using their time to tag a hundred pages, or cleaning up one article, it is better to clean up the one article. A bare url reference, while not ideal, and discouraged, is better than no reference at all. A person may have simply put in the bare url because they were busy, or didn't have the knowledge to format the reference properly; they may have hoped that someone else might come along and do the right thing by formatting the reference for them. That is how Wikipedia improves and gets better. While your tag is intended to help improve Wikipedia, in effect it is doing less than the person who added the reference in the first place, as it is simply adding to the huge backlogs that we have on the project. The genuine improvement is to do the formatting that is required. Perhaps when the bare url backlog is reduced to a few hundred articles you might consider tagging again (in the appropriate section). In the meantime, if you really want to help the linkrot situation, there are over 16,000 articles needing attention (over 13,000 of those were tagged in August, and appear to be mostly by you). None of this is a complaint, as we each help Wikipedia in our own way; but simply a pointer as to how you can help more productively, and by creating less work for other editors (each time I come upon an article with a bare url tag at the top, I move it down to the reference section).

I just noted that you removed an appropriate and encouraged link. See WP:ELYES#2: "An article about a book, a musical score, or some other media should link to a site hosting a copy of the work, if none of the "Links normally to be avoided" criteria apply." No worries, I've put it back. However, would you please let me know if you have removed other such links so I can restore them. Regards. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:33, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi Justin! It was a pleasure to finally meet you the other night! I hope you don't mind some friendly (but important) spam: The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is considering adapting a formal E-Volunteer program and they welcome your opinion as a Wikipedian.

Hi Justin, how's it going? I hope all's well. I've been cleaning up the Community Trolls article and am hoping to possibly bring it to GA—but I'm still polishing it, so it's not quite ready yet. It's a small point, but for my timeline, I'm trying to figure out when in 1984 Matthew Sweet quit Oh-OK. In the The Complete Recordings (Oh-OK album) article, it says Sweet was still with them for their April 1984 concert that's included on the CD. I noticed you made lots of edits to the article. Do you happen to have The Complete Recordings? If so, would you be able to confirm whether its liner notes specify that Sweet was present for that show? My other question is, if you have time, whether you would be interested in having a quick peek at the Community Trolls article before I nominate it for GA. If you had any suggestions, or if you saw any edits you wanted to make, the input would be welcome. But of course, only if you have time. Thanks! Moisejp (talk) 03:51, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi - Wanted to call to your attention a slight error in Category:Albums produced by Cannonball Adderly - His last name is spelled "Adderley". I think we could do one of two things - Either get an admin to do a rename, or, just create a second category, change all the individual pages to match the correct spelling, and then redirect the old category to the new one.
