The Tenth Stage

Dear Stephen,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I was a little miffed, but I would hardly call it having a "fair amount of anger and accusation". That's just an assumption you are making. If I was angry I would have used an exclamation mark at the very least.

Regardless though, I have lost interest in wikipedia. One of our fans created the page, and I added some information over the last few years when I had the time. As it stands, if a band that has been around for over 3 years, has had 3 albums released, has been on National TV and print media, has played internationally is not deemed noteworthy then I suggest that wikipedia re-assess their criteria.

True, we haven't had a number one hit - and never will have as our music is a niche - market. But Wikipedia seems to care less about cultural relevance, and more about moderators that don't research the actual pages.

I now understand that you did not cite for speedy deletion, so I apologise for my earlier remark.

All the very best to you. Regards, John.

PS - The Tenth Stage are currently recording their fourth album in both Melbourne and London, but you won't read about it on wikipedia ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.4.223.2 (talk) 13:29, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Your apology accepted, and mine given in return for reading too much into your comments. Good luck with your recording. StephenBuxton (talk) 13:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Crommorc

Hehe, no problem! It was really by chance I caught what he was doing, as I had watch-listed one of the pages he vandalized. Happy to help! Have a great day, Mastrchf (^t/_c) 14:54, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I am new to this

I am trying to add content that is valuable, but I am not 100% sure how to format things. I read the instructions, but I do not know how to upload a picture on the left hand side and also the references I posted somehow seemed to get corrupted. Also, the article I posted (19Nordehydroepiandrosterone) should have an alternative name 19NorDHEA. How do I do the redirect? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebuddha5 (talk • contribs) 11:41, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I've created the redirect page for you. Howwever, as I am sure you'll want to know how to do it in the future, here's how. First, create the page. the only line you need in the article is this:

#REDIRECT [[article name]]

Make a note in the edit summary the reason for the redirect, and then save the page. For further information about redirecting, have a read of this article about redirects.

I'm afraid I'm not very good with image loading, nor with references. If you have a look at WP:IMAGE and WP:UPIMAGE, these should help you about uploading it - please make sure that it is appropriatly tagged or it will end up being deleted. For referencing, please read WP:CITE. If that doesn't help, then I would recommend going to the Help Desk, and asking there. I'm sorry I couldn't help you more with those; if you have any further questions, I will try and help you as best I can. StephenBuxton (talk) 11:58, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi both... for article-formatting purposes, including references, you may find it helpful to use my article template. Cheers --S Marshall ^Talk/_Cont 12:16, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

PS--by the way, Ebuddha5--if you're going to go around creating the kind of articles you have done--short, well-referenced articles on scholarly topics--then for goodness' sake don't sweat the formatting. You can write as many more articles like that as you want, and I'll very happily follow you around doing the formatting.  :)--S Marshall ^Talk/_Cont 12:37, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the information! StephenBuxton (talk) 15:51, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}}

I saw your comment on the talk page. I do not think there are any directions for new helpers. Most helpers hang out on irc. If someone places the {{helpme}} tag on their talk page it notifies the irc group. To disable the tag you change it to {{tnull|helpme}}. For the most part the first one to help changes the tag so that the bot that notifies the IRC group does not keep notifying every minute or so. If it is a confusing question or an issue that requires more people some editors leave the tag up while they try to resolve the question. Come over to the IRC page. There are great people there that will help you get started (usually... some times it is dead in there). Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 14:16, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Template Substitution

Hi there. When you add a welcome template to a user’s page please remember to substitute it. If wish to reply to this message please use my talk page and if you need help feel free to talk to me there or you may find Wikipedia:SUB helpful. ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 16:17, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Did I forget to do that? Oh, nuts. Normally I do - guess I wasn't paying attention to what I copied and pasted. Cheers for the heads up! StephenBuxton (talk) 16:47, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

No problem and thank for the knock knock joke :) ·Add§hore· ^Talk/_Cont 17:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Luba Shumeyko

A tag has been placed on Luba Shumeyko, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on 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 one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Morbidthoughts (talk) 17:10, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I saw that the article had originally been deleted, so I made a redirect to her husband's article. It looks like some people since tried to recreate the original article. I agree that there is not enough material in the article to warrant an article, but I still feel a redirect is necessary. I have restored the redirect version of the page.

On Brian Mulroney. I have listed an IP check through CU to see if there is any underlying so that can be blocked for a period of time if its the same person or group of people. The accounts go back to the end of June. Cheers 211.30.109.24 (talk) 12:43, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
