Pronunciation of "Pierrot"I'd like to be able to put up a pronunciation guide on the Pierrot page, but I don't know how to use the rather complicated symbols involved. My dictionary gives two pronunciations, the first, presumably, of English speakers: (1) pee-uh-roh and (2) Fr. pye-roh. Beebuk 11:51, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
No. The editors' notice is there for a reason: to reflect long-standing consensus about how UK bands are described on Wikipedia, i.e. as mass plurals. If you want to upset four years or more of discussion and debate, please take it to the appropriate venue. Thanks. Rodhullandemu 04:00, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Subcategories I replaced Category:2009 albums with Category:2009 Christmas albums because the latter is a subcategory of the former. It is still in Category:2009 albums, just down one level. Cf. WP:SUBCAT. Please respond on my talk if you have more to say.

Re:Connie Talbot vandalismFor what it's worth, 20 November 2000 is the factually correct date; the information is (usually) considered non-controversial and a source isn't even required. That's certainly the date the original source said. We'd probably be able to cite it to something self-published if the lack of citation is worrying you. J Milburn (talk) 09:06, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
I saw you added the track listing to the artists' article. However, I had already created Prelude to a Dream which covers that exact information. Thus, I have reverted your edit and any other touchup edits others have done on that section. Typically, track listings go into an album article; only under very specific circumstances would they not and thus go in the artist's article. Since this artist has become extremely notable in just the last 24 hours, and the album itself is soaring from over #142,000 in rank (not popular) on Amazon up to #34 (well, let's just call that popular, quite an improvement) as I type...so it also is notable now as a best-seller a whole nine months after its release.

Recent edit to Jackie EvanchoI know you mean the edit in good faith, so I do not do this as a warning or anything. The top three candidates each week on AGT, we do know, make it through to the next round by default. However, there is no way for us to know which act actually got the highest number of votes. The only two acts we know are the ones who came 4th and 5th (as I stated in the edit history), and those become the two acts the judges must choose from. We don't even know that the other eliminated act is 6th (though I suspect it). Since top three are not announced numerically, the show has the liberty of putting them in any order they want to. Remember those times where things are chosen "in no particular order"? Oftentimes, someone called out in the middle ends up the highest voted or best result. So please do not restore "#3 out of 4" to the article; being #3 is no different than being #2 or #1, she's still safe. If the judges had had to bail her out, then we'd note that. CycloneGU (talk) 14:08, 12 August 2010 (UTC) AGT Season 5 round chartI agree. The number indicating the week of competition in the round chart is confusing at first glance. You can go ahead and add the parentheses in the heading of the chart. Gamer9832 (talk) 17:18, 29 August 2010 (UTC) If you would actually read #5 at WP:ELNO you would see that your links are not reliable sources at all and that they should not be in the article. If you put them there again, an administrator will deal with you. Radiopathy •talk• 19:46, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Skier Dude (talk 03:25, 13 October 2010 (UTC) Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preferenceHello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled. On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note. Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:51, 15 March 2011 (UTC) Album page discography setupThere is no "First album" in that section. The only three items that work are "Last album", "This album", and "Next album". There is no room for additional discography. As Prelude to a Dream came before O Holy Night, there is no need to include it as the latter already appears as the preceding ("Last") album. CycloneGU (talk) 17:57, 9 July 2011 (UTC) July 2011Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Internet Explorer 9 are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. @) 03:12, 15 July 2011 (UTC) Thanks, I took your advice re my problem with IE9 1archie99 (talk) 02:29, 5 September 2011 (UTC) Re: 8-30-11 Thanks for your revision of IENo, there isn't: I found it manually in the history (I thought it could be removed some months after March). I hope I understood what you asked me for because I'm not English.--Luca Ghio (talk) 15:48, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
RapidShareApologies for overlooking your question on my talk page. My reasoning for the edit was that each article is about the specified company. There is no connection between the companies of Mediafire and Rapidshare, other than they provide a similar service. If we were to cross link every company in Wikipedia with every other in the same industry we would have large section of lists in every article. Categories do a far better job of this, and I note that both are in the File Sharing category. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 13:15, 1 September 2011 (UTC) Should those using an ip address never be blocked permanently just because the ip address is linked to a mobile phone?J Milburn started this section as reply to a question I left on his talk page because he has been helped me in the past.

I need an experienced editor to check out the change I made to this page.1archie99 (talk)
"Not neutral"The phrase "level of her whirlwind worldwide performances has calmed" is not a neutral one. Do you have a reliable source which mentions the facts you have added? About her career dying down but her still uploading videos to YouTube? We should strive to report only what has already been reported, to avoid original research and fancruft. The article does need a little updating and cleaning, and this is something I intend to get to soon- you may have noticed that I recently expanded our articles on Christmas Album and Holiday Magic.

Canada's Got Talent FeedbackHello, looking at the article history, you have edited the Canada's Got Talent Season 1 at least once. Because of this, it would be great for you to help provide feedback on a proposal that will help improve the article as the show progresses. Please go here to see the 1st proposal and provide feedback on it. More proposals will be submitted soon and I will ask you to please provide feedback on those as well once they are submitted. Thank-you!--Dom497 (talk) 02:23, 8 February 2012 (UTC) Re: WBBZ-TVPoint taken (although the show will also air in the traditional Sunday morning time slot, and there are other weekend talk shows of the type that don't air on Sunday as well). The "Sunday morning talk show" phrase was simply to direct to the stated article. I'll pipe instead to avoid the seeming oxymoron. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 15:11, 22 June 2012 (UTC) EvanchoHello! Thanks for the message! I'm away from home, so I don't have time to talk much until after 11 August. Thanks for your help with the article. Wikipedia gets easier and easier the more you edit. Happy editing! -- Ssilvers (talk) 12:47, 4 August 2012 (UTC) Hello, I am from WikiProject Western New York. The reason I came here was because I noticed you were interested in NY, so I thought you would like to join this project and help WNY articles. If you do please sign up on our main page. Also, if you know anyone else interested in WNY, please inform them! Thanks, --Dekema2 (talk) 20:50, 25 August 2012 (UTC) Bionic Woman (2007 TV series)Hi. Please do not add phrases like "short-lived" to articles as you did here. This kind of wording is subjective and doesn't belong in the context of an encyclopedic article that is suppose to remain neutral. While it's tempting, we can't editorialize. The phrase is also not needed to help readers "decide whether to continue reading". It takes all of 30 seconds to read a lead paragraph. If someone can't spare that amount of time, they likely wouldn't be reading about a television show on the internet anyway. Thanks. Pinkadelica♣ 04:05, 27 November 2012 (UTC) your message at my talk page.You've been here since 2008 and you don't understand WP:BRD? You made a bold addition, I reverted it. Next step is we discuss it, not you revert my difference of opinion on what makes for proper content with an insulting label of vandalism and then compounding the problem by insulting me further on my talkpage. I will be reverting it again. Cool your jets and come talk about it at the article's talk page before you re-add it, or you will be getting reported for edit warring. There are numerous reasons besides WP:NOTDIR that content should not be there. Sorry you disagree, but problems like this get solved with discussion, not edit warring. I suspect from your extensive knowledge of a neighborhood in Buffalo that you have some sort of connection to the neighborhood. That does not give you any more right, or any special insight, into editing the page in question. Gtwfan52 (talk) 05:56, 2 January 2013 (UTC) Article Feedback deploymentHey 1archie99; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so.

DRN requestYour Dispute Resolution Noticeboard request has been closed due to lack of discussion at the article talk page, which is required by all content dispute resolution forums here. Moreover, I note that at the other editor's talk page you said, "I am notifying you that your editing to the Kaitlyn Maher article has been reported to the administrator of Wikipiedia. Your latest action could be ruled Vandalism and your prior actions as edit warring." First let me note that DRN is not an administrator's board and most of us who work there are not administrators, second let me note that what is and is not vandalism at WP is pretty well defined and what the IP editor is doing at Kaitlyn Maher pretty clearly is not vandalism. Falsely accusing someone of vandalism, however, is regarded as a personal attack, so if you should choose to actually take this to the administrators (via WP:EWN or WP:ANI), you need to be careful of what you say so that you don't get a WP:BOOMERANG. If I were you I'd strike out that message on the IP's talk page and add a polite note asking them to discuss the matter at the article talk page (with a link to it). Give it a few days without reverting, then ask again and give them another couple of days. If they don't post to the talk page, then revert and if they revert back then report them to WP:ANI for continuing to revert without responding to your request to discuss. That will usually work. Remember that there is no hurry. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:04, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Re:Please help me preserve the integrity of an article you contributed toHi- please be aware of the rules surrounding canvassing. Neutral messages about ongoing discussions are fine- perhaps you could leave some comments on WikiProject talk pages. In the mean time, avoid edit warring, and be aware of the three revert rule. If you need to, you can also open a request for comment. J Milburn (talk) 13:11, 9 May 2013 (UTC):
Talk:Connie TalbotHi, I saw the rude comment you posted about me there. Could you please answer the question and correct your mistake about my supposed removal of links, could you please not repeat the rude comment (especially as it is mistaken) and could you please be more careful in the future? As regards sourcing on BLPs I take this very seriously and so should you. It is quite common for people to get blocked over BLP violations and I would hate to see you at risk of such. Thanks a lot, --John (talk) 05:55, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Re:Connie TalbotYes, this whole thing is incredibly messy. Once John tells us which claims he finds so questionable, we'll hopefully be able to dig up some further sources to back them up. In the mean time, I'd advise not reverting him, as he seems to be quite ready to block those who edit in a way he finds problematic. I don't think this is likely to be resolved peacefully, sadly, but we can hopefully see the article get back to where it was. J Milburn (talk) 14:56, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
May 2013Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of fictional films may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s.

Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Bewitched episodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles Lane (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject. It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot #talk# 10:40, 1 May 2014 #UTC#
