Why are you removing the link www.justablip.co.uk at [[Kris Weston]]? It has been there for long, I eventually removed it because the website was blanked and no longer available; now it's back, and I guess we should keep it. |

About sensomusic Usine
hello, just few comments about Usine,
Usine is a young soft (a year) and has a 2000 users community which increase around 20% each month... How can you decide that it's not a 'notable' soft?
I'm a spammer because I've included a link on max/msp page? If you look at the French version you will see that the page contains around 10 links to related softwares... So on the English version of the article I have only reproduce the same kind of link. If I resume the 'related software' section is allowed in French but not in English? It's not a problem but I didn't know! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sensomusic (talk • contribs) 14:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Also the article has been rewritten to fit to 'wiki spirit'.
Regards Olivier Sens —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sensomusic (talk • contribs) 14:37, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- The problem is that Sensomusic usine has not been written about by any reliable publications, which is where we get most article information from. Please see WP:RS for why reliable sources are necessary for Wikipedia articles. Wickethewok (talk) 22:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Recovering Articles
Hello Wickethewok, Can you help me recover some deleted gamecruft articles from User:Proto/gc and other sources. I am using them for Encyclopedia Gamia and cant access them since I am not an admin :( --Cs california (talk) 07:12, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sure thing, what articles do you need specifically? Wickethewok (talk) 08:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks It would be helpful if you had a wikia account too I just want to start with these ones if possible. If you import them list them here [1]
Sorry for the messy list. Thanks again! This may take lots of time unless you can run a script. --Cs california (talk) 17:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- That is quite a few, so it may take awhile for me to get a chance to do all of these. If you want them sooner, it might be better to post over at deletion review as temporary/userspace undeletion. Wickethewok (talk) 03:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- I can make a sub page on my user page if that works. Just do them slowly. --Cs california (talk) 12:57, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
requested move
Hey Wicket, slight admin scenario here... I tried to move bassline (dance music) to bassline house earlier, but couldn't since bassline house used to be a redirect to UK garage before the article was created. I moved it to its current title from bassline (music) because that was a bit misleading, but having read several sources while writing the article it seems "bassline house" is widely in use, and "bassline" is just a shortened form, and it does seem to make sense not to have a dab modifier in the article title, though I can't find a guideline in WP:NC to support this... in any case, firstly, would you regard this as a non-controversial move or would you advise taking it to RM? If you don't think it's an issue, could you delete bassline house to make way? Cheers, - Zeibura (Talk) 01:45, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Done. I think its non-controversial. It is indeed preferable to have non-disambiguated pages, which is somewhere in the MoS. Wickethewok (talk) 03:27, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Deleted Article
Hi, I was wondering if I could get a copy of the deleted article:
19:25, 6 October 2006 Wickethewok (Talk | contribs) deleted "Quizardry.com"
I'd like to make a new page for this site, but cannot find a summary of why it was deleted. Cheers
Karengpve (talk) 22:42, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- The article was deleted because of it was marked as "likely failure of WP:WEB" and was deleted through the WP:PROD process. Additionally, the article read like an advertisement. If you have secondary reliable sources (eg. newspaper/magazine reviews about the site or something like that), then you can create a page on it. If you do not know how, there is a tutorial here: Help:Starting a new page. Wickethewok (talk) 01:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Amidst the Raindrops
Sorry to ask, but I haven't been able to find if you have this song available elsewhere on the net. Can you put me down for a copy of "Amidst the Raindrops" too at capsule7.1@netzero.com ?
I understand it may be something you're saving so if that's the case then that's completely OK. I myself am new to electronic music making, and there are very few electronic songs I desire to save, this being one of them (from what I've heard).
If you have a music account somewhere then a link there would be just as fine,
thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RaceGT (talk • contribs) 10:50, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Deep Crow
I saw your post on Deep Crow's deletion page; I figured if you were worrying, I'd give a reminder that the Deep Crow is actually mentioned at the end of Gabriel's paragraph and has an external link to the second comic (the funny one with the electrician). I'm personally hoping it gets mentioned a third time to give it a position as a minor character. Pylze (talk) 22:53, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Amidst the Raindrops
I was just glancing through other posts & found that many, like me, have found your "Amidst the Raindrops" tracks to be absolutely wonderful. The music is so heavenly & hypnotic that it simply takes you to another world. Could you please mail me the full length track to my email id @ kaushik.dhar@gmail.com
Since you are into electronic & ambient genre, could you please suggest me some other tracks similar to "Amidst the Raindrops"? Like something in the line of Telefon Tel Aviv's "Fahrenheit Fair Enough" ...where a steady melody is being looped constantly and diverse percussion & beats are thrown to it. Something like your track Amidst the Raindrops.
Thanks & much appreciated.

Hsing-sing
Hello! :) In 2006, Hsing-sing was apparently proposed for deletion. At the time, there was no suitable page for this article to be redirected to, so you deleted the article. I have created a new page, List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition monsters, which would be a proper destination to merge and/or redirect the article to. I'm wondering if it's possible to restore the original article, and turn it into a redirect, thus preserving the edit history? Thanks! :) BOZ (talk) 00:20, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Updating the Lynda Benglis Article
Hello, I am a long time Wikipedia Reader who would like to contribute to the Arts Project. This is my first article I would like to edit. I studied art extensively in school, moving through painting, art history, and finishing in Digital Media. Anyway, I would like to update the page to account for her video work, her current work, and a more nuanced discussion of her role in feminism and art history. I will cite all sources and would like to continue refining some articles, before maybe starting some of my own. My wife and I have a large collection of art scholarship and education, and I would love to share it with the Wikipedia community.

Still Working on Lynda Benglis Entry
Hey, I just got a copy of Challenging Art: ARTFORUM 1962-1974 by Amy Newman(2000), it contains a pretty extensive and contemporary discussion of Benglis's work as it relates to the Artforum ad. I am setting up a subpage with the changes and additions I would like to make. Would you mind reviewing it before I post it? It is my first edit and it seems like it will be extensive. I hope it is the first of many successful and community involved edits and updates. I put my user page up, check it out.

BTC deletion
Curious how your 'notable contributions' have nothing to do with webcomics, comics, or internet culture. Yet you consider yourself qualified to deem webcomics 'non-notable'. I could say likewise for several dozen ultra-obscure baseball players, but hey, I don't go parading around like I know everything about everything. Actions like deleting the wiki article on an up-and-coming webcomic such as 'Bigger than Cheeses' only furthers anger and hatred across the internet. BTC doesn't have a fanbase entirely composed of morons so I doubt Wikipedia has copped much flak over this, but still, actions like this have caused flame wars in the past. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.243.195 (talk) 06:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I assume you are referring to the deletion of an article that occurred almost two years ago. If you are actually concerned about this and don't just want to yell at the internet, you are welcome to take a look at WP:V and see that Wikipedia articles should rely on reputable third party sources - at the time I don't believe there were any on this subject. If this has changed, I invite you to either go to deletion review or start a new article which cites reputable, independent sources (the Achewood article for example cites Time and the AV Club as sources). Dozens of other webcomics articles manage to do this, so I see no reason to believe there's a bias. Wickethewok (talk) 17:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Harmonic Mixing article
Hi Wickethewok,
I'm commenting on the harmonic mixing article. You suggested a previous revision because harmonic mixing is a technique, not a company.
You are partially correct. Harmonic mixing (using that specific term) was coined by Mark Davis, the creator of Harmonic-Mixing.com. He created the Camelot wheel, found here: http://www.Harmonic-Mixing.com/HowTo.aspx It's the industry standard for harmonic mixing. Additionally, the Harmonic-Mixing.com website has been online since 1998 according to WebArchive.org.
Based on our survey of thousands of Mixed In Key customers, 94% use the Camelot notation and the Camelot wheel for harmonic mixing. This technique is described on the http://Harmonic-Mixing.com website, as well as http://www.MixedInKey.com/HowTo.aspx, and http://www.mixshare.com/wiki/doku.php?id=mixing_harmonically I believe it's an oversight to exclude the Camelot system. Every top DJ who's using Mixed In Key is also using the Camelot system for easy mixing.
I propose the following:
1) Add the link to Harmonic-Mixing.com using your own template
2) Reference (or better yet, explain) how the Camelot wheel works to simplify harmonic mixing
3) Cite the acquisition as a recent development -- it has the same level of importance as other news items in the "Recent Developments" section
Would you be OK with that?
Thank you,
Yakov —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djyakov (talk • contribs) 07:02, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
- If you want to write an article about a company called Harmonic-Mixing, I suggest you create a new article for it. If you want to put in information about this company, note that it should be from a source independent of their website (not a press release or something written by them). Something like a music mag article or interview by someone unaffiliated with this company would suffice. Do not use an infobox with the company info in the harmonic mixing article though - it makes it appear as if the article's main subject. Also, if you could find something independent that says this guy Davis came up with the phrase "harmonic mixing" that would be good, too. The concept of harmonic mixing (or key mixing or whatever else it can be called) though has been around for awhile (at least ~1990 or so), so I'm a little dubious that this guy coined the phrase. Wickethewok (talk) 14:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Information Depth
Hi Wickethewok, I just want to know how much depth is allowed in articles of wikipedia? I found many of the San Francisco Politician articles to include bias information that is POV and was wondering how much what is the limit on depth. Such as should candidates decision not to run for an office position be included? and should job descriptions, endorsements, bills that they passed or authored/ their descriptions be included?--Cs california (talk) 12:23, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- There isn't any magic rule, but from my interpretation of WP guidelines, but if you are unsure as to whether something a political figure did was notable, I would go by whether multiple reliable sources covered a particular event. If a candidate said they were not running for office, was it noteworthy enough to have been written about by multiple publications in non-trivial depth? I would think that bills that they passed could be of interest if they were actively involved in creating the bill or if publications make special note of it. Stuff like job descriptions I would expect would be mainly in the article about that position - though if the position is particularly obscure or unique, I don't think it would be harmful to briefly state what position they occupy. Wickethewok (talk) 15:09, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- Seems like most political figures use their job description to make POV points for examples:
- As XXX John Doe helped drug addicts, emergency services, tenants, consumers, unions, the environment ...etc. (This seems to present a POV argument since it says helps but not how.)
- John Doe has one of the best track record in getting his bills (Note: "has one of the best track record" was not compared to any other individual and using the word "best" seems to give a bias perspective)
- Also I found some things that are copy paste from candidate's websites or referenced to their websites, which creates a bias point of view which definitely supports them. A example of a good NPOV article I would say is Angela Beesley founder of wikia (Note that it does not quote from Angela's blog). I think this is becoming a trend since people can use wikipedia for mud slinging and candidate promotions. --Cs california (talk) 06:42, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
- I absolutely agree that these things are POV and should be removed or modified into NPOV. If you want to try enlisting others to help you clean up CA politics articles, Wikipedia:WikiProject Politics might be a good place to find people with similar areas of knowledge. Wickethewok (talk) 15:51, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. I will see if I can get help monitoring some of the things--Cs california (talk) 04:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello, in November 2006 you deleted Guecubu and Sibriex because the PRODs on them expired. I was wondering if you would mind restoring the articles and redirecting them to Demon (Dungeons & Dragons) to preserve edit histories? Thanks! :) BOZ (talk) 05:03, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- There ya go. Wickethewok (talk) 06:19, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you, sir! :) BOZ (talk) 14:21, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
One more thing - I've asked you to do a few of these in the past, and you've always been helpful. I decided to check the deletion log to see whatever other D&D article PRODs you may have taken care of, and it looks like you did all of them on the same day (most likely, the same user PRODded them all in the first place). It looks like there are only two left, Laghathti and Uzollru. I'm not entirely sure where those should be redirected to, but could you also restore the articles and I can have a look and see where they should go? Thanks! BOZ (talk) 14:35, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- It looks like they were both demons like the last couple of articles, so I restored the history and redirected. Also, I see that at Demon_(Dungeons_&_Dragons)#Types_of_Demons, there is a list of articles with similar issues to these ones that were deleted before. Either they should be improved with WP:RS/WP:V-qualifying sources or their information should be merged somewhere and they should be redirected/deleted. They've been tagged for ~6 months, but the problems haven't really been addressed. Wickethewok (talk) 16:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks again - I'm going to be taking a look at all of those soon. :) BOZ (talk) 19:04, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

My uncited edits
Hello sir.
I have recently made some uncited edits under the IP address 86.7.31.118. I realise that not logging in and not adding citations was lazy and I will cite my sources from now on. I have restored my addition of John Digweed's real name, with a citation. I hope you agree that this enhances the article. I have read your Talk page and I share your value of reliable sources.

Nightmares on wax
As i know you have a love for dance music i thought i would bring this to your attention http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightmares_on_Wax just wanted to bring up the point that Kevin Harper one of the founding members of Unique 3 was in Nightmares on wax from the start infact he left unique 3 to live in leeds when he met the other guy, however kevin is not given any credit on the page, i feel it is very unfair to take all the credit for somthing someone ells helps you with. if you are interested i will see what i can find on Kevin harper, this case is very much like that of Bahar, some one ells taking all the credit but only providing part of the work. Bahar was not give the credit on 10 Records but on the Chill mix that was the first releas his name can be found, im sure you know how record labels dont always get all the facts correct, its just that mistakes happen in all things. i too have a love for dance music and hope i will always seek to provide reliable information
--Radicalthinker (talk) 23:43, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
- As I said before, I am not disputing the notability/verifiability of an article about the group Unique 3. I am disputing the article about David Bahar, who seems to be only tangentially related to Unique 3. You need to show that there is reliable information out there about David Bahar, not Unique 3.

Accountability...
I replied to your comment. Personally, I consider it very important that those entrusted with administrator authority exercise that authority in a responsible manner. I am hoping that you agree. Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 11:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'm just saying that Kingboyk hasn't really been editing lately. So if you're actually interested in resolving an issue, why not take it to a noticeboard? Wickethewok (talk) 14:26, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Locking out IPs
I notices unregistered IPs have been reverting the page Leland Yee for their own political purposes by adding in copy paste versions of text from their own political websites as references such as [3]
which shows a direct copy paste. I have reverted it multiple times but think that it should be locked. --Cs california (talk) 21:39, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Bucs' broadcasters
I guess that is what happens when I'm bored, have a few hours, and have a book about the Pirates sitting next to me. I didn't think it was that popular of an article, so I'm kind of surprised so soon after I did it, lol. Thanks! blackngold29 04:08, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
RitchieWiki Article and entry in List of Wikis Listing.
Hi Wickethewok,
I've recreated the RitchieWiki article (it was originally deleted due to propaganda speak at the time of the site's launch (not my edit!), however, the site now has appropriate notability as a reference site for that niche industry. I'm re adding the reference in the list of wiki's page. Feel free to contact me if you have any objections/suggestions.

- As long as the article isn't deleted, I have no issue with it being include on the list of wikis. :) Wickethewok (talk) 21:14, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Amidst the Raindrops
Sorry, couldn't find another way to contact you. I also am trying to track down the Amidst the Raindrops. If you can help contact me at arcticfox@ca.rr.com. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.49.75.163 (talk) 17:05, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- The full version of "Amidst the Raindrops" is available on iTunes, Beatport, Amazon.com, and many other sites. Just search for "Amidst the Raindrops" on any of these websites. Wickethewok (talk) 18:48, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
For every category you create, you should specify parent categories to which it belongs. You do this by listing the parents near the bottom of the page, each enclosed in double brackets like so:
[[Category:Albums by artist]] [[Category:Parent2]]
Contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards,--Stepheng3 (talk) 19:50, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're right - I forgot to do that. Wickethewok (talk) 20:39, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Wiki1001 link
Hi Wickethewok, it seems you removed the external link "Wiki1001.com – a directory of wikis that anyone can edit" from the article "List of wikis" at 18:11, 22 February 2009. Could you explain why you removed it? I think Wiki1001, along with the other external links, helps readers explore a more expanded list of wikis than those shown within the article. I guess I don't understand how the other external links are deemed appropriate while Wiki1001 is not. Thanks. Derekwwww (talk) 17:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
- It's just that there are so many of these type of things (wikis listing wikis) out there. If you can ensure that it meets WP:EL, you can re-add it. Wickethewok (talk) 17:23, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- While I agree that there are many wiki lists out there, most of them are selective (i.e. only a handful of wikis are included), or are subject specific (e.g. only for encyclopedia wikis, only for religious wikis), or are wiki engine specific (e.g. only MediaWiki wikis). Wiki1001 and WikiIndex (already on the External Links) are the only comprehensive lists of wikis that I am aware of. They list all wikis, not a subset of them. Therefore, I think they are helpful to readers who want to explore a more expanded list of wikis than those shown within the article. I believe WP:EL guidelines are met, and I have added back Wiki1001 to the external links. Cheers Derekwwww (talk) 20:14, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Audition
Hi, ok, I had some doubts if I can use the mix (File:Tudor Tulok - sample from 'Old Vibes Mix'.ogg) of two songs on wikipedia, but could you please very yourself if the following files are ok for wikipedia:
- File:Tudor Tulok - Uncertainty.ogg
- File:Glissando Imprecision for 2 Harps.ogg
- File:Contrabass Clarinet - Fragment from 'Late Spring'.ogg
- File:Tudor Tulok - White Light.ogg
- File:Tudor_Tulok_-_Octrosall.ogg - this one is a mix of samples not recorded by me
If you want you can put the deletion log on the File:Tudor Tulok - sample from 'Old Vibes Mix'.ogg, or I'll put it myself.
Thank you --TudorTulok (talk) 21:47, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for clarifying, I haven't composed any song from Old Vibes Mix, and Octrosall uses copyrighted samples, I'll put the deletion log on these two files. --TudorTulok (talk) 22:02, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
I notice you've removed the example I inserted ([4]). Don't you agree a reference to the discussion there would be useful? Rp (talk) 19:09, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- I removed this because I don't think it fits the qualifications of a reliable resource, as it is a programming blog, rather than a publication with any oversight. Wickethewok (talk) 20:08, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Genres by bpm list on electronic dance music article
Hey wicket. Since you've contributed to this article lots, could you give any light on the current section on genres? I must have had to revert that quote from hillage and giraudy's article over a hundred times now from people adding more genres (thus WP:SYN), and have added an editors note above it which has become completely obnoxious and people still don't get it.. it's just getting impossible. Fact is, that list is slightly out of date and there's probably a better way of explaining the different genres. verifiably. - filelakeshoe 20:03, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- I'm with you - it really is a friggin' pain that people refuse to read no matter how big you put the text. Should we just maybe remove the source entirely? Wickethewok (talk) 22:54, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Justablip
Why are you removing the link www.justablip.co.uk at Kris Weston? It has been there for long, I eventually removed it because the website was blanked and no longer available; now it's back, and I guess we should keep it. --Doktor Who (talk) 12:07, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
