==Message from WikiProject Punk music==
'''Hello!'''

You may be interested to know that [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music|WikiProject Punk music]] has recently undergone a major revitalization. Please visit the project page to see our new look and check out some of our helpful new features, such as the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music/Assessment|Assessment Department]] and the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music/Collaboration of the week|Collaboration of the week]]. There are also a number of tasks on our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music/things to do|Things to do]] page that you may be interested in helping with.

We are currently holding a roll call to help gauge how many active project members we have. Please visit [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Punk music|the project's talk page]] and add your signature to [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Punk music#Roll sheet|the roll sheet]] to express your continued interest in the project. Also, if you have not already done so, please take a minute to add your name to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music/Participants|Participants]] page along with a brief summary of your punk-related interests, so that other project members will be better able to collaborate with you. If you do not add your signature to the roll sheet by November 30, 2008 your name will be moved to our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music/Participants#Inactive editors|list of inactive members]]. We may also take the liberty of removing the [[Template:User WikiProject Punk music|project userbox]] from your userpage if it appears there, to prevent you from automatically appearing in [[:Category:WikiProject Punk music members]]. Of course you are free to rejoin the project and re-add the userbox at any time if you would like to become active in the project again.

Thank you and we hope you will continue to support WikiProject Punk music!

== Rock music WikiProject ==

I'd like to invite you to join the newly-formed [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Rock music|Rock music WikiProject]].  There's alot of Rock-related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them.  So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this project off the ground and a few Rock music pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles.  Thanks! --[[User:Be Black Hole Sun|Be Black Hole Sun]] ([[User talk:Be Black Hole Sun|talk]]) 21:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

==Non free images==
Regarding [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User%3AUBX%2Flostprophets&diff=185770455&oldid=134478587 this] edit, non free images are explicitly not to be used outside of the article space. If you know of any other non free images outside of article space, please remove them. Also, you may want to consider archiving this talk page, it is getting a little long. Message posted at the top of the page due to pictoral request. [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]]) 00:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
:You can't change them a little then upload them as your own, as that counts as a [[deriative work]], and so copyright is still owned by the band. In any case, that would be useless for use in the article. It is generally reccomended that you archive talk pages so they are accessible to people with old-school browsers and/or slow connections, but it's your choice. [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]]) 16:43, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

==Your edit to [[Middle Ages]]==
I just changed the spelling back to "favour" for consistency with the spelling in the rest of the article: it can look a bit odd if it's spelt dfferent ways in different places. Details [[WP:ENGVAR|here]]. Best. --[[User:Old Moonraker|Old Moonraker]] 06:14, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
==Joke message bar (RE)==
I am not really certain where [[User:...adam...|...adam...]] came up with that one, I have seen it on <s>hundreds</s>thousands of user pages, they simply link within the wiki.  I have never seen policy about that, and, the sources he points to are no longer existent as true policy.  In fact, he himself violated the "Don't be a Dick" rule on the very guideline page, if anything.  I actually don't mind the trick myself, and I am going to do something else similar to that on my userpage.</br>

==Non-free album cover==
[[:Image:00-va-traxamillion presents-the slap addict-2006-cr.jpg]] is a non-free album cover and as such, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law only when used to illustrate the audio recording in question. The [[:Traxamillion]] article is about the person, not the audio recording in question, ''[[:The Slapp Addict]]''. There is no rationale given on the image describing why use on [[:Traxamillion]] should be allowed. See [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] for help on writing one. Hope this helps. --[[User:Geniac|Geniac]] 12:46, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

== Your signature and subpages ==
I noticed a post of yours on the [[WP:ANI|Administrator's incident board]]; what specifically drew my attention was your signature. It's a fairly lengthy amount of code, and takes up approximately four lines in the editing box, making it time-consuming to edit around. [[WP:SIG#Length|Signature guidelines]] suggest that signatures be kept short "both in display and markup". Could you please reduce the length of your signature code, to make editing easier for other users, as well as to keep it in line with accepted guidelines? Thank you. 

Additionally, I want to warn you that quoting entire songs (as you've done at [[User:Bagel7/Favorite_Quotes]] is considered a copyright violation, and is specifically not allowed on Wikipedia. Please remove the lyrics, or the page may be liable for deletion as a violation of copyright policy. ♠[[User:PMC|P]][[User_talk:PMC|<span style="color:#FF00FF;">M</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Premeditated Chaos|C]]♠ 07:21, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
*There isn't a specific character count I can point you to. We don't work that way. I would suggest that mine is probably a good guideline, give or take a few characters. I can completely understand your desire to customize, but you do have to consider your fellow editors as well. As for your lyric page, no, striking out a single line does not exempt you from policy. It's not a concern that we'll get sued, it's that we are an encyclopedia which aims to be ''free from copyrighted material''. Song lyrics are copyrighted material, and we cannot have non-free material on Wikipedia, especially for non-encyclopedic purposes such as a quotes page. Please remove the violating content. ♠[[User:PMC|P]][[User_talk:PMC|<span style="color:#FF00FF;">M</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Premeditated Chaos|C]]♠ 07:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
**Yes, much better. It's not so much the length of it as it displays when you save the page, but the length of it when you edit the page. Take a look at your old signature as it appears on my talk page - it spans four lines when you're looking at the code in order to edit. That was the problem. It's much less obtrusive now, thank you. In regards to the songs: you can quote about two lines before it starts becoming an issue. Remember, we are a ''free content'' encyclopedia, which means no copyrighted content. Either trim the songs, please, or I'm going to trim them for you. ♠[[User:PMC|P]][[User_talk:PMC|<span style="color:#FF00FF;">M</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Premeditated Chaos|C]]♠ 08:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
:::'''Short answer''': no, there is no place on Wikipedia you can keep them. '''Long answer''': no, absolutely not, for every reason I outlined to you above and will reiterate here: Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia. Everything on the site must obey the policy of free content above all other things. User pages, Talk pages, subpages...nothing is an exception. Simply put, we cannot host ''any'' content that has a copyright on it, at all. What it all boils down to is simple: you cannot keep those lyrics on Wikipedia's servers. One last time, please remove them.
:::Also, in regards to the comment that they are "your" quote pages - this is incorrect. No one "owns" any pages on Wikipedia (see [[WP:OWN|"owning" pages]] for details). Common courtesy dictates that editors don't usually edit the User page or User subpages of others, but we are not prohibited from doing so, especially in the case of overt copyright violations. &spades;[[User:PMC|P]][[User_talk:PMC|<span style="color:#FF00FF;">M</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Premeditated Chaos|C]]&spades; 08:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
::::They don't belong to you, they belong to whoever owns the copyright for them, and I'm willing to bet that it isn't you. &spades;[[User:PMC|P]][[User_talk:PMC|<span style="color:#FF00FF;">M</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Premeditated Chaos|C]]&spades; 08:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::Too tired to get eloquent about this: you don't own the quote page, you don't own the quotes, and you don't own the quotes in the context ''of'' the quote page. That would be ownership, and you don't own anything on Wikipedia. &spades;[[User:PMC|P]][[User_talk:PMC|<span style="color:#FF00FF;">M</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Premeditated Chaos|C]]&spades; 09:03, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
::::::You're right. This is pointless. Fatigue has made me long-winded and somewhat argumentative; my apologies. Thank you for your diligence in removing the lyrics and trimming your signature. Much appreciated. Have a good night, and happy editing. &spades;[[User:PMC|P]][[User_talk:PMC|<span style="color:#FF00FF;">M</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Premeditated Chaos|C]]&spades; 09:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

==Joke "New Message" banner ==

Hi there - just to let you know that I've removed the banner from the top of your userpage in line with [[WP:USER#What_is_discouraged_on_my_user_page.3F|this]], specifically that you can't imitate the user interface or link off wikipedia. Thanks [[User:...adam...|<span style="font-family:'verdana';">...adam...</span>]] <sup> ([[User talk:...adam...|<span style="font-family:'verdana';">talk</span>]] • [[Special:Contributions/...adam...|<span style="font-family:'verdana';">contributions</span>]]) </sup> 21:43, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
:Hi again, and thanks for replying. Maybe [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:User_page#Simulation.3F|this one]] will clear the policy up. The problem is that the "you have a new message" box is an integral part of the user interface, as it is generated by wikipedia - much like the links to the left and above the content are.The fact that you linked off wiki isn't the problem in general, it is that you linked off wiki in a UI spoof (so it looks like wikipedia is directing you there) and you hid the fact that they are external by using the plainlinks class (so people don't know that they're being taken off site). Hope this clears it up as to why you shouldn't put the box back - any further questions, feel free to ask [[User:...adam...|<span style="font-family:'verdana';">...adam...</span>]] <sup> ([[User talk:...adam...|<span style="font-family:'verdana';">talk</span>]] &bull; [[Special:Contributions/...adam...|<span style="font-family:'verdana';">contributions</span>]]) </sup> 12:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
::Nope - you can't imitate the UI at all, including the message box. It was a funny april fools joke (I had one from midnighe until midday) - but it's getting old don't you think. But that's just my opinion - the policy still states that you can't spoof any part of the UI. Despite that, you aren't allowed [[WP:USER#What_can_I_not_have_on_my_user_page.3F|non-encyclopedic]] content on your userpage anyway. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia - not somewhere to collect kevan brains (again - I have a kevan brain counter, I have nothing against the idea - but I realise that Wikipedia is not the place for it). Hope that clears it up, and that you don't think I'm being mean about all this. Hope that helps, any more questions - feel free to ask.

== A Thousand Apologies To You And Your Offspring ==

I slandered your good name in malfeasance of my wikipedian commitments. [[Queens of the Stone Age]] are not, as you rightly affirm, a supergroup.

==[[WP:ROCK|WikiProject Rock music]] invitation==
Hello [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative music|WikiProject Alternative music]] member.<br>WikiProject Alternative music, in my eyes, has proved to be successful "improving the encyclopaedic coverage of articles relating to alternative rock", and improving their quality as well. One specific example I have witnessed is [[The Smashing Pumpkins]] article. The page has gone from a mediocre work, to GA status, to FA nomination. Only appropriate, as the Pumpkins are undeniably one of the most influential alternative rock bands on the 1990's and beyond.<br>
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently ressurected '''[[WP:ROCK|WikiProject Rock music]]'''. I hope to also attract attention to [[rock music]] articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and not only be a member of alternative Wikipedians, but the rockin' ones as well.<br>

== Ahem ==
About a month and a half ago, I asked you a series of questions that you very rudely ignored. I find that highly inappropriate. Would you please review your talk page, locate my questions, and answer them hastily? It's not becoming of a Wikipedian to blatantly ignore a request like this. [[User:Evanreyes|Evan Reyes]] 23:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

You've embarassed yourself. [[User:Evanreyes|Evan Reyes]] 23:56, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't think acting like an imbecile, and making personal attacks constitutes putting someone in their place. If you had used intelligent discourse to get your point across, maybe your desired outcome would have matched up closer to the actual outcome.

== Wikiproject Paranormal Collaboration ==
Hi, I'm leaving you this message because I noticed you are interested in [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject Paranormal]]. We're currently starting a new project which we need the help of our members in, [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject Paranormal/Collab|the WikiProject Paranormal Collaboration of the Month]]. This is an initiative where we can identify articles that need work (especially high-traffic pages), and get the whole project involved with their improvement. Currently, we are in the process of voting for our first collaboration. We'd appreciate it if you'd stop by, vote, and add any articles you may think may be appropriate for the project. Also, you may wish to add the Collaboration page to your watchlist to observe future collaborations. If you'd like, we've also created a [[:Category:WikiProject Paranormal articles|category]] to collect articles covered by our project as a reference, if it helps. So, thank you for your interest, and happy editing! --[[User:InShaneee|InShaneee]] 16:13, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

==Just Checking Up==
I realized I've been out of touch from Wikipedia for a while so I'm just trying to catch up. The Warped Tour over the summer was pretty awesome. I was up front and three feet away from Tim (Rise Against) he came and stood on the railing they had holding everyone back. He had two security guards holding him up on there too. It was pretty intense. So all in all, just checkin up and letting you know I'll be on more often (school started and I'll probably be slacking off and coming here instead of working on projects and such). By the way how was the Red Hot Chili Peppers Thing? [[User:Patrik with a P|Papa_smurPH]] 13:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
:I like to check up on it occasionally, but yeah I do the exact same thing with school, where I slack off on wikipedia. The Chili Peppers were awesome, and even though I could tell they were kinda tired (i saw their 2nd show near the place i live), they still put lots of energy into the show. the mars volta, who opened for them, were also good, but they werent gettin any love from the audience. everyone was there to see the chili peppers. i also saw the 'prophets and new found glory at another concert, although i only got to see the 'prophets do one song. i have to say, i really like the new rise against song ready to fall. - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 03:00, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
::That's pretty cool about the 'prophets concert. I wish they would have been on the Warped tour, I could have had an even greater time. Was New Found Glory cool too? But yes Ready to Fall is indeed a very enjoyable song, I have it on my phone (Vcast) but for some reason not on my iPod. *Shrugs* I'll get it eventually. [[User:Patrik with a P|Papa_smurPH]] 14:07, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, they were good for me knowing like 4 of their songs. I liked their energy, and some people in crowd were really pumped for them. w/e, it's cool. - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 03:15, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

==Grammar issue==
I noticed that you listed yourself as a [[:Category:Grammar Nazi|grammar nazi]]. I actually have a grammar issue that I thought you might be willing to help with. It is regarding whether or not dances (like [[waltz]], [[Tango (dance)|tango]], [[Swing (dance)|swing]], [[ballet]], etc.) should be capitalized. There is currently a discussion about it at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dance]] and [[Talk:Lindy Hop]]. We would certainly appreciate your input. Thanks! —[[User:Cswrye|Cswrye]] 14:05, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

==I wonder==
You asked me a question, to which I responded and asked a series of follow-up questions. Why have you not responded to any of them? [[User:Evanreyes|Evan Reyes]] 08:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

== Because ==

Small words are not capitalized in artist, album, or song titles. I did this before I knew it was against policy to edit other users' pages, so if you'd like, you can change it back. [[User:Evanreyes|Evan Reyes]] 20:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Just a question though, why would you name some bands correctly (Bowling for Soup, Dead or Alive, Death Cab for Cutie, Kings of Leon, Puddle of Mudd), but clearly list the incorrect name for P!ATD? Seems strange to me. [[User:Evanreyes|Evan Reyes]] 22:22, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I have something else that goes along with this. I'm interested in helping out with lyricwiki, however I noticed that many of the artists have incorrect capitalization. Is there any system in place to fix that? i.e. Harry and the Potters is not Harry And The Potters, etc. [[User:Evanreyes|Evan Reyes]] 02:19, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

==RE:Thanks, but no thanks==
Thank you for disambiguating in [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Bagel7&diff=69046029&oldid=68553061 this edit], but I didn't want it for my userpage. I'd rather just leave them ambiguated (is that a word?) Anyway, - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 19:54, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

:No problem. Feel free to change it back, if you like. It's funny, I thought about avoiding userpages altogether, but a lot like yours seem so clearly marked, I thought it'd be lazy not to get to everything. Sorry if it caused any problems.

==Few Things==
Well for one according to a certain poster below me your birthday was a while ago (I checked your userbox too) so happy extremely late birthday. Mine was actually 3 days before your so thats cool . . . sorta? But know what I really came here for. One: I finally got the new prophets album and it is indeed amazing, and two: I'm going to the Warped Tour in Virginia Beach next Wednesday and I felt the need to gloat to someone so your'e one of my choices. You should feel appreciated. Think thats's about it [[User:Patrik with a P|Papa_smurPH]] 03:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
:Well, then even happy even more extremely late birthday. Wow, I'm getting confused. Anyway, yes I have been enjoying the prophets album, and thats awesome that you're gonna see that tour. I was thinking about it, but there are lots of bands that are questionable. So, instead, I decided to go to the Red Hot Chili Peppers contest at the end of August. So, there's my gloat I guess. - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 17:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

==[[Wall Walking]]==
''Why did you redirect the [[Wall Walking]] article into the [[parkour]] article?''

Because the article specifically compared it to that. It was that, or speedy-delete it -- which I notice had been done already. --[[User:Calton|Calton]] | [[User talk:Calton|Talk]] 05:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

:That logic doesn't follow very well. If I compare [[karate]] to [[martial arts]], like "Karate is a form of martial arts" or "Karate is related to martial arts" does that mean we should incorporate the huge karate article into the martial arts one? Of course not. - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 14:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

::Okay, speedy delete it is. --[[User:Calton|Calton]] | [[User talk:Calton|Talk]] 23:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

:::Hey, hey, hey, remember [[Wikipedia:Civility|WP:CIVIL]]?  Dont just delete it, please allow it to remain a separate article.  My argument was for restoring the article as an independent entity.  It has enough information on its own to be an article.  Please restore it. - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 14:47, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

:::::Hey, hey, hey, read the top of my talk page. First and second points, if you need a hint.  Also the relationship of  [[Wikipedia:Civility|WP:CIVIL]] to the viability of an article is what, exactly? --[[User:Calton|Calton]] | [[User talk:Calton|Talk]] 08:59, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

::::::I dunno, it just seemed like you said "speedy delete it is" and didn't want to hear my side of things anymore.  I was trying to keep this conversation civil and intelligent. By the way, can I copy that list? I actually like it. It's funny. - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 22:41, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

==New Album==
Are you getting the new prophets album? (I know its not the only band you like but not many other people around here like lostprophets so I had to ask somebody.) Oh and that Lyricwiki looks pretty cool, anyway I could help? - [[User:Patrik with a P|Papa_smurPH]] (please sign your name, not that i want to be anal about these things)
:Hell yes, I'm getting the new album. Unfortunately, right now, I'm at an academic camp at Stanford so I can't get it until I get out of here which will be 2 weeks from this Friday. When I get home, I'll get it for sure.  About Lyricwiki, I kind of took this into my own hands, so it's not official or anything, but just try to add and edit lyrics. Right now, its horrible.  Finally, thanks for leaving a new message at the top. You're like the first person to do that. - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 15:01, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
::No problem about the message at the top thing. The huge icon at the top of your page is kind of hard to miss. Yeah I'm pretty psyched about the new album but I'm broke and I want to get the new Rise Against album out tomarrow to so i gotta earn some cash first. And a happy 4th of July to you! [[User:Patrik with a P|Papa_smurPH]] 02:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Thank you, I hope you also have a happy 4th. So far, a few people have ignored the top icon, but maybe now people will start payin attention. I'm into Rise Against, but I'm not sure whether I want the new album. I'll have to listen to it on iTunes or something before I'm sure. Oh, and my mom actually got me the album, because she knew I've wanted it for a while, so as soon as I get back I can listen to it. - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 14:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

==PYRAMA deleted==
The people, places, or things you have written about in the article [[:PYRAMA]] may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own, and I have therefore deleted it in accordance with Wikipedia's [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion policy]]. The Wikipedia community [[Wikipedia:welcome, newcomers|welcomes newcomers]], and encourages them to become [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]]. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a [[Wikipedia:user page|user page]] in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page.

== How was i vandalizing? ==

I was making the information more correct, you say your forum was very influential... which is not true. you have 60 members WOW so infuential. sites with millions of members arent even influential. take you head out of your ass and smell some fresh air, what youre doing is falsifying information
:First of all, unless you are a member of Pyrama, you cannot make general comments about it.  It does not matter if the information is factual or not, that site is part of my userpage, so I get to decide what information goes on it. And since I didn't want the information you deleted to be deleted, that is vandalism.  Furthermore, restrain yourself from being vulgar please and there's no reason to start a flame war. Finally please sign your name using 4 tildes, which look like this: "~" - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 19:51, 3 June 2006 (UTC)



::ok, ok wait. this is wikipedia, theres a reason i can edit anything i want, its to keep things accurate. if you dont want people editing your pages install your own wiki on your server and set it so only you can edit it. also, you are posting false info which im allowed to edit so its proper. im not changing it to "OMFG THIS SITE SUKS, IMA HAX0RS IT UP BITCH" im simply correcting an error. on that note lets look at the definition of vandalism

::van·dal·ism     P   Pronunciation Key  (vndl-zm)
::n.
::Willful or malicious destruction of public or private property.

::yep, nothing destructed there. just doing my job as a wiki community user. oh and no, i will not sign my name and before you start tossing around an "ill ban you, ban you good with my giant baning stick!" think about proxies. banning does nothing.
:::Take it easy buddy.  Look again. That page is part of MY userpage, meaning I decide what content is on there. It's fine if you edit it, but I may change it to nonfactual information, because it's not a REAL page. It's part of my userpage.  Very good, you can use a dictionary.  I only ask you to sign your name because that is the normal procedure we use here at wikipedia.  I'm just warning you. Don't worry, you still have several more chances before your proxy is banned - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 06:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

:::: OH NO DONT BAN MY PROXY! I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO ADD ANOTHER! seriously, you missed my point about the proxy, its not my real ip, i can change it whenever i want. banning me will waste 2 min of my time as i change my proxy. speaking of wasting time, yeah, i know how to use a dictionary. its a very very useful tool when you want to show someone they are using a word wrong. and no, i will not sign my name, just because you people here at wikipedia have a standard procedure of what it is you do here doesnt mean that the rest of the world has to follow it, or ever will for that matter. oh and reading your first reply you said i have to be a member, well i was.

::::: Oh wait, I've got an idea, why don't you stop using little proxies to fool around and use your own I.P. address to make useful edits, not stupid little ones to someone's userpage.  Hey, if I had been using that word incorrectly then I would have warmly thanked you for your definition. HOWEVER, you were willingly destructing my userpage. How were you destructing it? You were falsifying information that I wanted on it. I don't care if you don't think Pyrama is influential. MY OPINION is that it is. AND, on my userpage, I am allowed to state my opinion without having some upstart wannabe-hacker who thinks he can mess around with proxies so he's all that mess around with it. I never said you had to follow procedure, I merely suggested it.  Oh really? Please tell me your screenname on Pyrama. - [[User:Bagel7|Bagel7]] 19:46, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

== Userpage vandalism ==

Your warning is just as official is mine would be. However, there are prewritten templates you can use. Simply type <!--Ignore the nowikis--><nowiki>{{subst:test}}</nowiki> the first time someone vandalises, the second time <!--Ignore the nowikis--><nowiki>{{subst:test2}}</nowiki>, and keep going. Make sure it is the same person before going up a level. Once they vandalise past level 4, stop and leave a message at [[WP:AIV]] and and admin will come investigate. Happy editing!

== Additions to coaster infobox require article updating, need help ==

I've made several large additions to the {{tl|Infobox roller coaster}} template, which will require updating of EVERY article using it. These additions are automatic unit conversion for the statistics and automatic categorization. I have also provided full documentation of every parameter on the template page, which I strongly encourage you to read. Every article will need the following changes:

*These parameters must be delinked: location, section, manufacturer, and type. They will be automatically linked, and will (except for section) be used for automatic categorization.
*The type parameter must be Steel or Wood.
*The secondary type (Inverted, Floorless, Duelling etc.) should be moved to the type2 parameter. If a second secondary type is necessary, it goes in type3. In either case, don't link them, it will be done automatically.
*height, drop, length, speed, and restriction must have all non-numeric characters removed. height, drop, and length must be expressed in feet (using decimals instead of inches if necessary), speed must be expressed in miles per hour, and restriction must be expressed in inches. All of these parameters will automatically be converted to metric and displayed in both forms.

Also, the rcdb_number parameter should be added to every coaster article that doesn't have it yet.

If the article is about a widely-cloned coaster such as [[Batman: The Ride]] where the template covers multiple installations of the same coaster, the redesigned template will not be appropriate. For these articles, simply change the template to "Infobox roller coaster simplified". This is the old version, without all the automation.

I've already updated over 50 articles myself, but I can't do this all day and I'll need your help to get it done quickly. The list of pages using the template can be found [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Template%3AInfobox_roller_coaster here].

== Brain Teaser AfD ==

To all WikiProject Roller coasters participants: [[Brain Teaser]], a kiddie coaster at [[Six Flags Darien Lake]] is up for deletion via [[WP:AFD]].  This isn't my article, but if it's deleted, it sets the prescident for many small coasters to be deleted, such as [[Mild Thing]], which runs counter to the Coaster Wikiproject and also will make a lot of park templates look dumb since they can't include all coasters.

==In regards to [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Kamikaze/Userbox/Lost&action=edit the Deletion of the "Hate Lost Userbox]==

I see how this could be potentially divisive, but then again, couldn't all of the userboxes in [[Wikipedia:Userboxes/Music#Opinion of artist/band/songs|this entire section]] be deleted under the same criteria? I think the Lost userbox you deleted is merely stating opinion, similar to the previously mentioned section, so it should be reinstated. - [[User:Bagel7|<span style="background:black"><span style="color:lightgreen;">Bagel7</span></span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Bagel7|<span style="background:black"><span style="color:lightgreen;">T's,</span></span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/Bagel7|<span style="background:black"><span style="color:lightgreen;">C's,</span></span>]]</sup><sup>[[User:Bagel7/Autograph Book|<span style="background:black"><span style="color:lightgreen;">A's</span></span>]]</sup> 02:59, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

:"Dislike" userboxes walk a fine line. Currently dislike-based categories are deleted per [[WP:UBX#Category inclusion]]. Such userboxes, if nominated, would likely be deleted as well. 
:That aside, though, Hate/Loathe userboxes are ''decidely'' polemic and divisive, and fall directly under [[WP:CSD#T1]]. There have been a few examples which could possibly be considered non-divisive, such as users who hate wearing shoes, but such examples are few, and the Lost userbox is/was not one of those.

==Regarding NUMP==
He has many contributions in engineering for a majority of the bay area hyphy artists (ie. The Federation, Turf Talk, E-40), was featured on DJ Shadow's album as a hyphy artist, and is signed on E-40's label SickWidIt Records, just to name a few reasons. It's safe to say he is a significant artist to the genre.small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:60dumb|60dumb]] ([[User talk:60dumb|talk]]) 03:36, August 3, 2007 (UTC).

== Audioslave article ==

Hello!

I've seen you had done some editing on the Audioslave in the past, so I thought maybe you are interested in helping me out with getting the article to FA status. I have completely rewritten it, added references to everything that can be challenged, added images with fair use rationales, and audio samples as well. It is currently undergoing a peer review here and also a prose review at the Alternative music Wikiproject here. So if you'd like to, you can write your suggestions to any of these pages, or feel free to edit the article yourself. I think all of the problems are grammatical now, and I'm not that good at pointing them out, or correcting them to a brilliant level, as my first language is not English.

Thank you very much in advance. [[User:Gocsa|Gocsa]] 19:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

== Hi ==

You can listen to sound samples on Wikipedia using your browser (just click "play in browser") or you can download the .ogg files, and then listen to them in Winamp, Windows Media Player, or any other media player. You can read the guideline about how to upload samples at the [[Wikipedia:Music samples|WP:Music samples]]. You can upload the .ogg files the same way as images, at the "Upload file" menu on the left. [[User:Gocsa|Gocsa]] 10:21, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

==Fair use disputed for Image:Cherry Pie.JPG==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|32px|left]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Cherry Pie.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 [[:Image:Cherry Pie.JPG|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 [[WP:CSD#Images/media|Criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

I saw your revert on [[Template:De La Soul]], and checked out how it looked on a different browser than my normal one (I normally use [[Mozilla Firefox|Firefox]], checked it on [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]]). It looked fine without <code><nowiki><br></nowiki></code> tags in Safari, but the text slips over the lines when I view the template in Firefox. However, the <code><nowiki><br></nowiki></code> tags solve the slippage problem in Firefox. With your permission, can I change it back?

==Speedy deletion of [[:FileScope]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:FileScope]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A1|section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:FileScope|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[ Talk:FileScope|the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that a copy be emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-nocontext-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:KurtRaschke|KurtRaschke]] ([[User talk:KurtRaschke|talk]]) 00:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I am leaving you this message as part of a personal effort to revive the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Queen|Queen WikiProject]] of which you are listed as a participant. If you are not interested in committing yourself to contributing to Queen related articles please go about removing yourself from the participants list on the project page. On the other hand if you are interested in the project and do wish to contribute, I encourage you to head over to the project's [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Queen|talk page]] to work towards outstanding tasks and share ideas on how Queen-related articles may be improved.

Thanks for reading this, and I look forward to your response. Such a legendary group deserves to be honoured with quality articles on Wikipedia and it is a great shame such a project has gone inactive.

Writers from all over the Bay Area and the world will be in town during the nine day festival, so the timing is just right for us to meetup and create/translate/expand/improve articles about literature and writers. All levels of Wikipedia editing experience are welcome. This event will include new editor training.

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

In celebration of [[Wikipedia:WikiWomen's History Month|WikiWomen's History Month]], the SF Bay Area Wikipedia community has two events in early March -- please consider attending!

First, we have an '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/San Francisco/ArtandFeminism 2015|ArtAndFeminism edit-a-thon]]''', which will take place at the [[Kadist Art Foundation]] from 12 noon to 6pm on Saturday, March 7.  We'll be one of many sites worldwide participating in this edit-a-thon on March 7th.  So join us as we help improve Wikipedia's coverage of women artists and their works!

Second, we will be celebrating [[International Women's Day]] with the '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/San Francisco/International Women's Day 2015|International Women's Day edit-a-thon]]''' on Sunday, March 8 from 1pm to 5pm at the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]. Our editing focus will be on women, of course!
 
I hope to see you there! [[User:Rosiestep|Rosiestep]] ([[User talk:Rosiestep|talk]]) - via [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:06, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

[[File:Panel fields questions on Journalism and Wikipedia (cropped).jpg|right|thumb|upright=1|alt=A Wikipedia panel discussion about journalism|Panel discussion at a recent Wikipedia & Journalism event.]]

The last Wednesday evening of every month, wiki enthusiasts in the San Francisco Bay Area will gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas. We have two brief presentations lined up for our kickoff event in downtown San Francisco:

* The Nueva Upper School recently hosted the first ever high school Wikipedia edit-a-thon. We will hear what interests them about Wikipedia, what they have learned so far, and what they hope to achieve.
* Photojournalist Kris Schreier Lyseggen, author of ''The Women of San Quentin: The Soul Murder of Transgender Women in Male Prisons,'' will tell us about her work and how she researched the topic.

We allow time for informal conversation and working on articles. Newcomers and experienced wiki users are encouraged to attend. We will have beverages and light snacks.

'''''Please note: You must [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1cjLRrSTlEkGOPTQ-h6A0WvSFI4ZmIUl6jEHp_RYas-E/viewform register here], and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name.''''' The building policy is strict on this point.

Some of us will be working on the Wikipedia article on ''basic income''. [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bay_Area_WikiSalon_July_2016 All info here]. Some good news - we do not have to be as strict about advance RSVP at Noisebridge, so bring spontaneous guests!

Come and hang out, have some light snacks. Wi-Fi is available, so please bring your editing device if you plan to edit.

Also, Pete just published a writeup of the Wikidojo exercise we did last month. Your comments welcome, if he missed anything!

Hi folks, 

We would like to invite you to this month's '''Bay Area WikiSalon'''. The last Wednesday evening of every month, wiki enthusiasts gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.

We make sure to allow time for informal conversation and working on articles. Newcomers and experienced wiki users are encouraged to attend. Free Wi-Fi is available so bring your editing devices. We will have beverages and light snacks. We will also have a brief presentation for your education and possible enjoyment:

* Former EFF intern Marta Belcher will discuss crowdsourcing her Stanford Law School graduation speech using a wiki. The "WikiSpeech" was the subject of prominent national media attention in 2015, and more than half of her classmates contributed to writing and editing the commencement address via a wiki.

The building policy is strict on the I.D. part. This also helps us figure out how much food and drink to bring in! Feel free to stop by even if only to say a quick hello, but you might have to give us a last minute call if you forget to RSVP. Also, don't be shy about hitting us up if you have thoughts on speakers or wiki-related activities.

Hi folks, 

We would like to invite you to this month's '''Bay Area WikiSalon'''. The last Wednesday evening of every month, Wikipedia and Wikimedia enthusiasts gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.

We will have no formal agenda to allow people to freely share ideas and perhaps learn about Wikipedia through hands-on editing. Co-organizer Ben Creasy will be looking at election-related articles to enhance the information available in the upcoming November elections.

[[File:LUSITANA WLM 2011 d.svg|left|frameless|upright=.5|alt=Official logo of Wiki Loves Monuments]]

Co-organizer Stephen LaPorte has suggested doing an upload-a-thon for [[Wiki Loves Monuments]]. Niki, the California coordinator for WLM will be in attendance. WLM is an annual event and the official dealine is Friday the 30th for submissions to count towards awards. 

Or, you can grab a couch, a booth, or a stool and do your own thing.

Please copy and share this on other talk pages. We would like to invite you to this month's '''Bay Area WikiSalon'''. The last Wednesday evening of every month, Wikipedia and Wikimedia enthusiasts gather at the Wikimedia Foundation lounge to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.

We will have no meaty agenda this month, but we will allow a brief period for:

* Question & answer
* Open mic for announcements
* Maybe a focus on some topical election article editing with Ben?

Or, you can grab a couch, a booth, a stool or counter and do your own thing.

{{letterhead start}}
Hi, y'all.
In case you missed it and want to watch the archive reel; the topic was The Wikipedia Teahouse and the presenter was well respected Wikimedian Jim Heaphy [[[[User:Cullen328]]]]

* [//www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeJim1n2uiY Archive link] (also includes intro, announcements, and a lightning talk)

* Details about Bay Area WikiSalon for December '''[[Wikipedia:Bay Area WikiSalon December 2016|here]]'''

The full title of Jim's presentation was: ''Welcoming and Helping New Editors: A Month at the Wikipedia Teahouse: an overview of the Teahouse and an analysis of over 300 Teahouse conversations during the month of August, 2016''

Jim gave a longer version of this presentation in October at [//wikiconference.org/wiki/2016/Main_Page WikiConference North America 2016] in San Diego, California.

: Despite several warnings, you have chosen to continue edit-warring to reinsert that non-free image here, violating [[WP:NFCC]] policy. On reflection, rather than actually blocking you, I have chosen to instead fully protect this talkpage for a couple of days. This means that you can't continue edit-warring here. Unfortunately, it also means other (non-admin) users won't be able to leave messages to you, and you can't respond to this message here either. I felt this was the more efficient and less burdensome alternative to the other course of action, blocking you and removing your access to your talkpage for the duration of the block. This way you can still edit elsewhere, and if you wish to challenge my action, you are welcome to do so on my talkpage. Before you do that, please do read the policy you were given the link to.

== Invitation to Local Wikimania Event in San Francisco this Friday ==

Hi!

Wikimania is happening and hopefully you're enjoying the sessions. While it's fairly last minute, you're warmly invited to participate in the local Wikimania-themed meetup in the Wikimedia Foundation office this Friday (tomorrow!). You will have to register in advance, but we would love to see more people from the WikiSalon community participate! For more information and registration, please check out [[meta:Wikimania 2022/San Francisco Meetup]].

The event will involve hacking, teaching, learning, and celebrating and we'll have snacks. We will have the opportunity to watch live sessions at Wikimania together in the afternoon. The rest of the day we'll have opportunity to participate in the hackathon, and we may have some on-demand workshops/learning sessions.

In case we run out of space, it's first-come-first-serve so let us know soon! Hope to see you there.
