Hi Myke -- have you noticed the sudden flood of editors in Renaissance music articles? See the last couple days at Johannes Ockeghem, Clemens non Papa, Jacob Obrecht, Nicolas Gombert, Adrian Willaert, Sweelinck (and there may be more -- that's just what came up on my rather non-thorough watchlist). They're all good, but they'll require a bit of cleanup. Do you think it's someone's class? When they're anon IPs they are surprisingly non-specific, i.e. Tennessee, New Jersey, ... If it's a class project I'm hesitant to jump in and start fixing right away. (It's not your class, is it? :) ) Hope all is well with you! Antandrus (talk) 16:23, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. All that dragging the kids though the snow to daycare in the bike trailer might not be keeping me in shape, but at least it's having some small positive impact on my wikipediage. Pete.Hurd (talk) 20:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
[1]. Looks good! I'm presuming that the disappearance of the "visiting" portion is a good thing. :) Good to see you around! Antandrus (talk) 16:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
This was tagged with ((sheet music)), a fair use tag - this implies that it is still copyrighted. If it is indeed from before 1923 it should have instead had ((pd-US)). If you provide a list of these images, I can undelete them. —Random832 15:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
True that (or more better, True Dat). Shlishke (talk) 18:25, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I heartily agree with your move of John Coolidge Adams, but cant find the talkpage discussion. If there was any controversy, I should probably read it before doing a similar move of Ann Marie Callaway. best, Sparafucil (talk) 08:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Myke! Can you check any sources you might have to see if Edouard Chantal was a real person? I smell a hoax (the bit about moving with the lover to Switzerland ... her writings being the only source ... the keys of the pieces ... dunno though). There was a Chantelouse who was a clavecinist of the early 17th century, covered in Gillespie's big book on keyboard music, but I can't find any other names that even come close. Oh, and I can't think of a single example of a French toccata from that time ... they called their pieces "unmeasured preludes" or something similar. Thanks, and I hope the semester is going well!

A short/sweet little message, which I hope has made your day better! Happy Valentine's Day!!! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:52, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the note. I could still work on filling it out when I have a chance. DJRafe (talk) 06:08, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Greetings! Are you going to be around between Mar 2 00:00 and Mar 3 00:00? Look what's going to be on the main page. Surprised me (are these listed somewhere?) Hope all is well with you! I've been taking a break from writing about Renaissance composers for a couple weeks now. There will be more though. :) Cheers! Antandrus (talk) 15:41, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Someone made a proposal to merge WP:PROF into WP:BIO and there is an ongoing discussion of this proposal at the talk page for WP:PROF. Since you have participated in earlier discussions regarding WP:PROF, I hope that you will contribute to the current one as well. Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 23:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Please see my reply to your message at User talk:Jeff G./Fair use sandbox. Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Mi Myke, (what do people in the real world write, Mike, or Myke?)
I love your "come play with me" for the sandbox. You've probably already given this a lot of thought already: is there a way for you to end the horizontal graphs differently for those composers living and those dead? The way I read the graphic, they're all passed away on the dates listed.
BTW, have you looked in on eye music recently? I'd appreciate your input...
Best regards, --Shlishke (talk) 14:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Myke, have approved you for use of this tool. Enjoy! --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 20:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I saw you just got AWB-vetted. I also have it, but I've switched to a Mac and havn't decided or figured out to get the dual windows/mac thingie going. Any plans you have in particular for the awesome power? I just started learning how to use it when I stopped particularly caring after my specific project (a global cap normalization) was finished.
Do you have any plans for it/you at the moment? Anything worth double teaming on, sequentially?
---Shlishke (talk) 02:58, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Just to follow up, a closing date is being discussed here. Best. --Kleinzach (talk) 14:20, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I wonder if you might have time to help us summarize a section of the discussion? Best --Kleinzach (talk) 01:02, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
You write: "Should we bring in administrators who were unaffiliated with the discussion to help sort out consensus (a la AfD)? ' . I would certainly support that if you proposed it in a new section on the main page and I think other people who took part in the discussion before 23 April would do so as well. I don't think what is happening at the moment will lead anywhere. Best. --Kleinzach (talk) 22:36, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I'm sending this to you because you participated in the Centralized discussion on image placeholders that ended on 23 April.
That discussion must produce a conclusion.
We originally asked "Should the addition of this box [example right] be allowed? Does the placeholder system and graphic image need to be improved to satisfy policies and guidelines for inclusion? Is it appropriate to some kinds of biographies, but not to others?" (See introduction).
Conclusions to centralized discussions are either marked as 'policy', 'guideline', 'endorsed', 'rejected', 'no consensus', or 'no change' etc. We should now decide for this discussion.
Please read and approve or disapprove the section here: Conclusion --Kleinzach (talk) 10:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Please note this message conforms to WP:CANVASSING and has not been sent to anyone has not already participated in the centralized discussion.

RfA: Many thanks | ||
Many thanks for your participation in my recent request for adminship. I am impressed by the amount of thought that goes into people's contribution to the RfA process, and humbled that so many have chosen to trust me with this new responsibility. I step into this new role cautiously, but will do my very best to live up to your kind words and expectations, and to further the project of the encyclopedia. Again, thank you. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 05:58, 18 May 2008 (UTC) |
Have a good break and a fantastic summer, and I hope you get some writing done! We'll miss you here. I'll probably be here, unless the cup finally runneth over. There's so much more to write though. Hope you see you at an AMS gathering sometime. Cheers! Antandrus (talk) 19:57, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I am trying to "test the waters" to see if there is enough interest in revising WP:PROF to better reflect the arguments that are actually used in practice in academic-related AfDs. I've put a note about it at Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics) with a somewhat more detailed explanation. There is also a link there to a possible draft of a revised version of WP:PROF, which is located in my sandbox, User:Nsk92/Sandbox3. Since you have participated in academic-related AfDs in the past, I'd like to hear your input about this idea, both in general and in terms of specifics. If you have some comments, please post them at Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics). You are also welcome to edit User:Nsk92/Sandbox3 in the meantime. Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 20:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I am trying to restart the process of revising WP:PROF and have posted further comments at Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics)#WP:PROF revision draft - revisited. Please take another look there and see if you have further comments. Of course, you are welcome to edit the draft itself too:User:Nsk92/Sandbox3. Thanks a lot, Nsk92 (talk) 15:31, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
I would like to try to give another try and make a motion to proceed with the preplacement of the WP:PROF guideline by the revised version. I made a post to the talk page of WP:PROF to that effect and I'd appreciate if you comment there, one way or the other. I also responed there to your previous posts regarding some of the concerns that you raised (and I made some additional edits to the draft as a result). Hopefully it will change your mind, but even if not, please chime in and express your opinion. Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 15:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey Myke, thought I ought to say that your last post to Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics) was once of the most interesting things I've read on wikipedia for quite a few weeks. I'm not sure what to make of the lag time to reviewing books, or how to handle evidence of notability in the humanities, but I'm glad to have learned more.
