Re: li valueI can answer that. Thanks for your curiosity. Well, I did the li value thing for the track listing and how the numbering is distributed in front of each track. Below displays how the track listing was before. Side one
Side two
Notice how the track listing goes like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Now, with the addition of the li value code, I made the track listing appear like so: Side one
Side two
Notice how the track listing's numerals are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. That's what the li value did. So, if you want to put down a different number for a track listing or any other listing, without having the default labeling of 1, 2, 3, etc. then use this code: #<li value = desired number>. There are various other codes involving the li code, but that is the one I prefer to use. Thanks for your curiosity, once again. BTC 02:21, 15 February 2009 (UTC) responseCurrent Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell was in Dio for several years, albums, and tours. That definitely makes Dio a Def Leppard related band. Gringo300 (talk) 00:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC) Track numbersAbout your recent edits adding the "li value" tag to Grateful Dead album articles, I was really thinking that the track numbers in the article should correspond to the actual CD track numbers. They do that when you add the tag to single CDs that were originally released as LPs, like this, but not when you add the tag to have track numbers cross discs, like this. In other words, I really think it's better not to have track numbers span multiple discs. (If you reply here, I will see what you say.) — Mudwater (Talk) 15:29, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Normally I'd agree in that the latter is far more encyclopedic-sounding, but it was in a direct quote; and I suspect the quoted person actually did say "Ozzy". Were you correcting an error in the quote, or was it a mistake on your part? Let me know. Cheers ~ mazca t|c 22:01, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Protocol for edits (re "Smoke on the Water")In the "Smoke on the Water" article, you completely reversed an edit by IP 74.59.161.59 on 2009 March 27. I partially reversed your reversal. I can see where the edit needed correction as verbose (in that left/right panning issues are superfluous, not part of composition), but recognizing the introduction of distorted organ along with the hi-hat was a valid correction in my opinion. I add this note not to argue these issues, but to comment on two things that I thought were wrong with your edit. 1) The edit was flagged as "minor". I see the change as material to the meaning, and in no way superficial. Reviewing the article on what is considered a minor edit in Wikipedia, I see this as an error. 2) Your description ("unreference change to accepted section") was incomprehensible to me; even looking at the history of the article, I still contort to apply it. Does it mean that the edit reverses a change to an "accepted" (i.e. what? long lasting without debate or change?) section because the change was made without reference to any authority? I must say, Wikipedia is a momentous project. It'll be interesting to see if we can manage to agree with each other, at least concerning the meaning of things. Cheers.
RE edits to Ronnie James Dio discographyThe certification I listed was in the UK. RIAA = Recording Industry Association of America. The British website is www.bpi.co.uk, that is where these things should be checked. I sourced my facts from Black Sabbath discography which cited having checked the BPI website. You HAVE however alerted me to a discrepancy there; the BPI website does not list the certifications listed on the Sabbath discography page. As you've taken an interest, any ideas what I should do? I think the BPI website must be wrong, the sales figures it gives don't sound at all right to me though it's never failed me before since it's an official record:
There's no way in hell that Heaven & Hell is their best selling album in the UK and no way that the best selling Ozzy era albums are SBS and Sabotage. It appears the official source is wrong. Advice? (The Elfoid (talk) 14:37, 30 March 2009 (UTC)) Roma/Romani disambigHi! I saw that you've made some clean-up in various Roma/Romani articles. I have to ask to be more cautious because Roma is used with a double meaning: once as a name for all Romani people, and once as a proper name for the Roma - roughly the Romanies from Eastern Europe. So, when the article (or the section) talks strictly about the Roma, you can disambiguate to "Roma (Romani subgroup)", but when it talks about other Romani groups, or, generally about the Romani people, then you disambiguate to "Romani people". See this map for the historical distribution of the Romani people: [2]. Kenshin (talk) 12:30, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Oh, by the way, if you are not sure, use "Romani people", you can't go wrong with "Romani people". In fact, in most cases, "Romani people" is the best name. Kenshin (talk) 07:56, 5 April 2009 (UTC) Black SabbathI've never been any good at reviewing GA candidates, and in this case, I'm kind of biased in regards to being a big Sabbath fan, so I'm probably not the best person to review the article.

WatchlistsI would like to see the feature described in Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Articles_on_no_watchlists implemented. I made an identical suggestion at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Watched_counter and it's pretty far along. I don't feel encouraged about actually getting anything done on that proposals page, given that what seems like a well-discussed, advanced, and solid variant of your proposal has been slowly dying for a couple weeks. The problem might just be that it's not at the bottom of the page, or has too much text to read through. Thoughts? –MT 03:16, 7 May 2009 (UTC) If not much happens with yours, I think I might end up waiting a couple of weeks, and then re-proposing with a clearer and shorter outline. The thing is, even if the bored kid (nevermind having a registered account - just an ip) edited a bunch of "unwatched" articles, those vandal edits would end up smack at the top of the very slow-moving "recent unwatched changes" page. At this point, we can turn on the feature we'd like to see with 0 problems. Ah well, we'll see how it goes. –MT 08:53, 7 May 2009 (UTC) Looks like the proposal for the recent-unwatched-pages (which solves the watched-count vandal problem) has lasted longer than I thought. I don't know if I'll be re-proposing soon, since this has gotten a bit of attention, but you may want to look over the current proposal and leave a vote here, if you're still interested. 02:58, 22 May 2009 (UTC) DISAMBIGI don't know if I am in the right place, but all my fixes for Lloyd George just disappeared from the leaderboard?

I have noticed that you have been changing a lot of links in a clearly good-faith attempt to avoid disambiguation pages and such. However, some not-so-good edit fall through the cracks. For example, here you replaced a relevant disambiguation link with an irrelevant one. I have seen a few more examples but mostly decided to ignore them at this point (didn't have much time). Please be more careful and try to manually follow the links before making the edit. Also keep in mind the context. Thanks, Ynhockey (Talk) 11:34, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

You had provided a link from "side effects" to an article about adverse reactions. There is a definate distinction to be made between the two. A side effect is NOT the one and the same as an adverse reaction. A side effect is something that takes place WHILE you are taking a drug and abates once the drug is discontinued, or shortly there after. Whereas an adverse event is the damage done to your body as a result of being on the medication and an adverse event does not abate when you discontinue the medication. The damage has already been done. And at times such reactions result in permanent injury, disability, or even death. A side effect is a minor annoyance in comparision to an adverse reaction which is a serious medical complication that requires immedate intervention to prevent further harm to the patient. Comparing apples to oranges as they say. Regards,Davidtfull (talk) 04:59, 10 July 2009 (UTC) Black Sabbath coversHello!

Dab epochI think this edit [3] was a mistake. You linked to Epoch (reference date) which is a point in time, quite different from the meaning of 'epoch' as an interval of time in geology. In this case, in fact the relevant article is already linked to as Series (stratigraphy) so the most appropriate action IMHO is to remove the link altogether.

It's always nice to be noticed, and oops, I should have been consistent by using last names, but I was mostly reacting to the "M.A.R.F." reference. (Very sad that I'm your age, 42, and I'm watching - and paying attention to - Nickelodeon cartoons!) Since you seem to know Kiss pretty well, I just left a message on the discussion page about the "Killers" album/LP/compilation/whatever it really is. I'm sitting here listening to all the Kiss albums I can get my hands on, and reading the biography, in preparation for seeing Kiss in October (haven't seen them before) -- and "Killers" is mentioned, but I can't find much information about it. In short, I was wondering whether the fact that 4 new songs seemed to have been released as part of the album would warrant its mention in the text of the article (or whether it should just stay hidden in the discography). BTW, I have been looking at the Judas Priest main article; nobody has responded to a message on that discussion page (I think I posted about 3 weeks ago) regarding a now-completed 2008 tour. The dates and locations (and even the days of the week) of the concerts are listed in what I think is nauseating (and confusing) detail, and until I edited it in a minor fashion, the whole section was still in future tense. Changing it to past tense only helped a little but I am VERY leery of starting to delete the details unless I can get someone more experienced than I to look at it and help decide whether the details were only relevant when the concerts were truly in the future!

The suggestion that he appears to be no more than a lounge singer is more than inaccurate. Alvin is an extremely talented individual. However his explanation of fame is that in the world of show biz, Fame is a booby prize for being good at what you do. In his case, that would be excellence in music. Alvin's career started at a very young age and he did not take it seriously until he began to hang out with Jean Michelle Basquiat the late painter.("A Quick Killing In Art" by Phoebe Hoban Page 24, Paragraph 5), Alvin is mentioned as Jeans roommate) Alvin started as street musician and Jean Michelle would collect money for him from the crowds that would gather to hear him play the guitar and sing. He went on to fulfill his dream of writing songs and singing .Here are a few examples of his accomplishments to help enlighten you about some one who you referred to as a "Lounge Singer"?#$@??? Take Note on this list of some Alvin Fields' Accomplishments...And no..he has not passed and is quite productive in the music industry. http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Special%20Delivery:1921135590:page=user-reviews?reviewer=KzIF40E- Alvin’s Album produced by Michael Zager on A&M http://www.ralfhenke.de/whitney_houston.html the Second Album Whitney appeared on at age 12 take note of her guest appearances, Special Delivery at the bottom of the page.

Alvin appears on the “British Rock Symphony” DVD as a Lead vocalist along with music greats such as Roger Daltrey of the Who…Alice Cooper, Simon Townsend, Billy Preston, Gary Brooker of Procal Harum, And Zak Starkey son of Ringo Starr of the Who. Now Honestly…does that sound this sound like all the makings of a “Lounge Singer”. Hardly. I am beginning to understand why my professors at school are warning me to never use wiki for any citations or references. Your deletion of this artist page was unnecessary and pretty ridiculous!!! To your own credit you might want to do some more research and create a Wiki page for this artist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhasheene (talk • contribs) 05:08, 30 October 2009 (UTC) Repairing links to disambiguation pagesPlease be careful with making rapid fire edits to remove links to disambig pages. If you end up sending the user to the wrong page, that's worse then sending them to a disambig page. If you don't have time to read the article and be sure you understand the context, I think it would be better to put a note on the talk page, asking those who know the topic to correct it.

thanks for the reviewImmediately after your review, I got a second WP:DYK :) And point noted regarding the summary and messages to newbie users- I must confess to not going beyond the default one generated by twinkle.I had been planning to work on WP:AFD- but most of the articles that come up there don't exactly deal with subjects I have much knowledge about. As it is I am looking like getting a tad too trigger happy with WP:CSD again thanks to twinkle- will try to contribute to AFD whenever possibletrakesht (talk) 05:54, 1 November 2009 (UTC) After reviewing a couple pages of your edit history, I feel compelled to bestow this (not so very) prestigious, and important award upon you.

Editor ReviewMany thanks for returning the favor! Your words were very helpful. To answer your question, I didn't have an account before this one, but I dallied around and studied the process as an IP. As soon as I discovered Special:Newpages I went with it :) Thanks for calling me out on being a little impersonal in my messages to new users. I do see what you mean. I will try to be more welcoming in the future. Thanks again, and happy editing!

I have uploaded a photo of the oar to Wiki but when I try to post it to the page it only displays the link, not the image. Also, I appreciate you correcting the gator logo, but i cannot find the code or whatever you used to keep it from being removed. Finally, i am not sure where you will reply to this note.

By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup. It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:
If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup! On behalf of the WikiCup judges, iMatthew talk at 03:43, 5 December 2009 (UTC) Relisting noticePer Spartaz's request, I am notifying you that this discussion that you participated in has been relisted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Una Healy (2nd nomination) in the hopes to gain a more fair consensus due to the participation of three sock puppet accounts in the earlier discussion. The three sock accounts that checkuser confirmed are the same person voted to delete or redirect and made multiple edits to the discussion which closed as "redirect" and therefore may have created a false impression of consensus by vote-stacking.

Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table.
