User talk:Mikeblas

I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If I post on your talk page, I will notice any replies posted there. Unless you request otherwise, I will reply here to comments made here. I will usually post a brief note on your talk page to let you know that I have replied, unless your talk page instructs me otherwise. If you write a reply to me here, I may decide to move your text back to your talk page in an effort to keep the thread in one place. If you are just pointing out something written to me elsewhere, edit here. Such pointers are useful if you've written to a comment I made many days ago. Be civil and assume good faith. Trolling and personal attacks are likely to be removed. My user talk page is archived automatically by Werdnabot, so To see older messages please view my archives.

Mike Shinoda

Dear Mikeblas, I've tried to find a solution. Instead of continuing to write "nu metal and rapcore", I've removed "rapcore" from the intro, also because there isn't under Shinoda's picture. Egr, 5/7/2006

Question

I don't know if this is the proper way to get in touch with mikeblas, but I'll try it.

It appears that mikeblas removed some material that I added to the entry "Radio Receiver". I don't understand what was objectionable about my submission. Can mikeblas or anyone else explain?

Hi Mikeblas, I think you would make a good administrator on the English Wikipedia. Any interest? —Quarl ^(talk) 2007-02-14 05:30Z

Charlie McCoy

…needs fixing not deletion. "Unsourced BLP" is usually a reason to try and find sources first, not to put up for deletion. Granted, his peak was in the 1970s, so there aren't too many online sources about him, but still, the article asserts that he's won a Grammy, so I'd say yes, he is quite notable and should have his article sourced up.

• I've cleaned it up, and added an infobox and sources. No offense, but did you somehow skip over WP:BEFORE? If it's an article on a musician, Allmusic is usually the first place I check. He has a rather lengthy bio there (which I've added as a ref), so I have absolutely no doubt that he's notable now.

There are no footnotes, so it'll be difficult to verify any of it. The "Biography" section is still completely un-sourced. We don't even know if that's a picture of the subject in question. -- Mikeblas (talk) 00:24, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

I added a couple footnotes to verify the sessions he played, at least one chart single, and his Grammy award. Actually, a year is nothing for a country music article. Almost all of the country music articles are crap because no one gives a [bad word] about them.
