ThanksHi Leah, Thanks for checking my user page. I have not put anything there because I do not want to get more deeply involved with Wikipedia; I'm sure there are many people out there who find a NPOV a myth, and I have zero respect for publication as a guide to truth. So, with my personality, I now limit myself to correcting the worst of the spelling, usage, and style errors that litter Wikipedia. In particular, I try to see that articles in English are written so that non-native speakers have an easier time with them. For example, native speakers have no problem with the grammar in the previous sentence, but changing "articles in English are written" to "articles written in English are composed" is helpful for non-native speakers. Msml (talk) 05:03, 15 April 2011 (UTC) Re: Lou ReedWhile Lou Reed discography does not have it, some discographies, such as Bruce Springsteen discography, have a "Guest appearances" or similar section that lists appearances on tribute albums, other peoples' albums, etc. If you start such a section for Reed, you could list Sweet Relief: A Benefit for Victoria Williams in it. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:24, 15 April 2011 (UTC) General references for Skip Battin and other articlesGreetings, Leahtwosaints. I've restored the References section that you deleted from the Skip Battin article, and explained why at Talk:Skip Battin#Place references here. Also, about a month ago you seemed to be raising a question on my talk page about this type of thing, at User talk:Mudwater#Notes and other things. I replied there at the time, but I'm not sure if you saw that. The short version of the story is that references to articles can either be footnotes, or references listed at the end of the article but not in footnote form, or both. Footnotes are better, but either way is okay. However as you have correctly pointed out the references should generally not be listed in a section called External links. Please take a look at what I wrote about all this on the Skip Battin talk page and also on my talk page. I'd be happy to discuss this with you further -- either here or on my talk page would be fine, whichever you prefer. Thanks! — Mudwater (Talk) 17:46, 16 April 2011 (UTC) Re:Would this help?Not sure exactly how it would look with two columns - can you give an example article? It sounds like it might be a good idea though. We have a graph on the members' page - it might be the best place for it there. Possibly it might be overkill on the main page? Bretonbanquet (talk) 13:36, 17 April 2011 (UTC) Interior decoratingIf you want to change the color in the collapse box, you need to add something like this: bg=#FF0000 to the {{collapse top tag. I've changed yours to red and yellow.... you may want to change that! An RGB color chart will give you the codes, or you can mix them yourself. They have hexidecimal values going from 00 to FF (256) and it's additive, so Red + Green = Yellow, etc. rather than subtractive if you were mixing paint. I'll add the user boxes etc. Catfish Jim & the soapdish 13:25, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that I've used this modern photo of Roger McGuinn, which you recently sourced, in the main Byrds article. It's located right at the end of the article. I think I'm right in saying that this photo is not being used anywhere else on Wikipedia, so I thought I'd let you know that I had used it in case you wanted to contact the photo's author to let them know that their work is on Wikipedia. I see that the Thin Lizzy article has passed its GA review. I took a look at it about a week ago and decided that despite a few small problems, it was basically ready for a GA review. Myself, I've never actually conducted a review of somebody else's article but I decided that the Thin Lizzy article would be a good one to start with. Unfortunately, before I could initiate my GA review, Jezhotwells reviewed it himself. Anyway, just wanted to let you know. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 11:10, 25 April 2011 (UTC) Thank you!!Thanks for the shiny thing! Much appreciated. I thought it went through quite easily in the end, I expected there to be more work required. But I'm very pleased with it, and thanks for your help :D Bretonbanquet (talk) 12:56, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Re: Technical questionsI asked you a question months ago and wasn't clear, so I didn't really get the answer. SO: When a performer (solo) or a band (collectively) record music on a record label, the infobox and the External links data area reflect that, right? And of course would be included in the discography? So, what if Martie Maguire as a member of the Dixie Chicks is signed to SONY/BMG? Whatever it is, So how could a Dixie Chick say they got their own label: Open Wide? When I see two record labels like that, I wonder if both SONY and BMG are separate and need both to be acknowledged, and what about the Open Wide part(?)
The other burning thought is when I see album and song articles, and people who do session work (as session musician) on other people's albums, and those labels would not appear anywhere but the discography since it isn't her album, right? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 11:00, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Kaki King Photo; Anita Baker Birthdate.Hi. Id like to get in touch with you directly via email on how to change the Kaki King photo immediately. Also; there does not need to be a lot of debate on the Anita Baker birthdate. How do we get that to stay at the correct date. Please contact me with an email address soon, would like to have these handled immediately; do not check wiki often enough to excute here in a timely manner. -E 22:35, 27 April 2011 (UTC) (^^^^4 ~'s up there, btw.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Empress Ericka (talk • contribs) 22:35, 27 April 2011 (UTC) Re:![]() You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

PhotosDefinitely! I mean, photos like that awesome one could go in the individual members' articles - that one could go in Phil Lynott or Scott Gorham and look great. So yes, anything else that you find can be used! Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:12, 28 April 2011 (UTC) topiconsI noticed your reviewer and rollback icons were superimposed...

RfA requestThanks I appreciate you thinking of me, but I'm not familiar with this editor. Looking at the RfA, he will definitely pass (only two objections and one of them is simply over his username), so rest easy. I'm going to try to get back into the swing of editing over the next week or so, but I've been gone for awhile and have several things on my talk that I should address--a lot of it is stupid mistakes of mine that others may have cleaned up in my absence; at the very least, I should give out some thank-yous. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:24, 2 May 2011 (UTC) Ted McKennaConsider it done...

ThanksHi Leah, I've had to make some adjustments to my user page this time... thanks for the support... boy am I glad that's over! Catfish Jim & the soapdish 09:38, 5 May 2011 (UTC) LizzyI've been getting so many messages on my talk page lately (mostly stupid ones) that I miss the good ones! OK, Downey/Mendoza/Warwick - awesome. All of those articles could do with a bit of expansion to match the quality photos. The longer the article, the more photos we can put in. Great idea about putting the Robbo/Phil/Scott photo on the discography page, and I agree with getting rid of the Sykes one. Yes, the Gorham/Lynott one should go on the Gorham page. That's been on my list of things to expand for a while now, and I will get round to it. My source material is all at home though, and it might be a month or so before I can fetch it. Phil and Scott were pretty tight, partly the drug thing I guess, but also because Scott was a great balancing influence in the band, especially when Robbo was there, and later on Scott was a really solid friend in the band when there were a lot of line-up changes etc. Phil and Brian were very close too. But yeah, having a photo of Phil and Scott together is a great idea for Scott's page. I'll have a shot at expanding that part of his article for now, but I'll do a much bigger job when I get my books. Great job! Again!

Re:Needing your help again, Commons related issue..As an administrator on Commons, I am able to move files, but it's not something I've done before- take a look at this page which explains the rather simple process and guidelines. Alternatively, if you provide me with a list of old titles and new titles, I can do it for you. However, I am not sure I understand what the problem is with WikiBooks? If they're using it directly from Commons, surely the necessary information still shows on the Commons page? J Milburn (talk) 15:59, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Sandra ChapinThere's a few routes you can take when it comes to article deletion. There's speedy deletion, proposed deletion or articles for deletion, but in this case I think a merge into Harry Chapin would be the appropriate action. Tag the articles as outlined in WP:MERGE, give it a week and if a consensus is achieved or it proves uncontroversial, make sure all the relevant information in Sandra Chapin is placed in the destination article and replace the text in Sandra Chapin with #REDIRECT [[Harry Chapin]] To initiate the merger discussion, place this on Talk:Harry Chapin (add your rationale)... == Merger proposal == I propose that [[Sandra Chapin]] be merged into [[Harry Chapin]]. (GIVE REASON HERE!) ~~~~ Then place this tag at the very top of Talk:Harry Chapin: {{Merge from|Sandra Chapin|discuss=Talk:Harry Chapin#Merger proposal|date=May 2011}} And this at the top of Sandra Chapin: {{Merge to|Harry Chapin|discuss=Talk:Harry Chapin#Merger proposal|date=May 2011}} Hope that helps, Catfish Jim & the soapdish 09:31, 18 May 2011 (UTC) Re: A whole bunch of Springsteen (and band) photo shots- free imagesLeah, thanks for the pointer to this stream ... the trouble is, there's no date or location information on any of them (I went forward and backward). It's clearly from somewhere in the 1975–1978 period, but that's as far as I can conclude so far.

Leahtwosaints (talk) 17:33, 19 May 2011 (UTC) Re:Whew, another problemI've corrected the spelling in the title, but I'm afraid I don't know what to do about the other issue- ask the photographer?

Those Crosby & Nash photos are pretty interesting but as you yourself point out, they're not the best quality. I guess the obvious place for one of those is in the Crosby & Nash article, but they are inferior to the two pictures currently in the article, so I don't think these newer pics should actually replace any of the existing ones. Still, it would be good to have a semi-recent image of the duo located towards the end of the article. I wonder if there are any better quality C&N photographs taken during the 21st century on Flickr? --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 17:46, 24 May 2011 (UTC) Talkback![]() You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

A picture depicting John Coltrane has been removed, see also [1]; I tried to overturn it, but without success. However, User:Slowking4 gave a link to loc.gov, see [2], on Talk:John Coltrane.

It needs more work on his career outside Lizzy, all his production work etc. I still haven't managed to get home to fetch my books (300 miles!), but I will soon. His and Scott's article are the ones I'm aiming at. Photos for both would be ideal, and the one you've just added of the young Phil is great! I think bio articles need older photos as a comparison - everyone knows what Phil looked like while Thin Lizzy were huge, but that early photo gives great balance. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:31, 16 June 2011 (UTC) Eric Bell againGreat photo! I've popped that one in the Thin Lizzy section at the moment, but it can obviously be moved elsewhere later if necessary, when I write more. I would like to do an equipment section, but guitars and stuff are much less my strong point. I should be able to find something though. I want to expand the rest of it too a bit, if I can, mainly the Lizzy section - at least another paragraph or two. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:09, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

HiNo, no other reason! ;) I just hoped you were doing ok. I saw the Gorham photo - great stuff - I have my books with me now so hopefully soon I'll get on with adding a bit to his article, then we can move the photos around afterwards if we like. Good to see you back :) Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:10, 21 July 2011 (UTC) Reply to your messageGlad you're doing okay. I had actually just stopped by to say "Hi" and tell you I'd have more time starting in a month or so, to help with articles that you had suggested to me some time ago. I think Rory Gallagher was one. I'll let you know when the time comes and you can direct me to ones most needing help then. All the best for a full recovery! Agadant (talk) 00:14, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
BobbyTench photoHi, I have tried to replace the I took and placed on Bobbys Page. As you know the whole issue of applying images on Wikipedia is needlessly complicated and I have observed over a couple of years their rules are harsh and often destructive. My attempted reoplcement is adjusted as you suggest and tag removed. I a not a pro photographer and inexperienced with photoshop. As you may know still images for this artist which are in the public domain are very rare. I wish they monitored page content on Wikipedia as scrupuosly as they do with images! By the way, I like the images on you page, any chance of taking one of Bobby? Thanks for your help, further tips always accepted , you a pro and me not! --Flyingstrat (talk) 10:15, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
