I may not be here for some time to comeI can't be certain how long it will be, or anything, but my life is in the air right now for several reasons and may be on a Wikibreak for some time. Hopefully, I'll be able to return. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 22:11, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
Dave Bartholemew etcArchivingIs this OK? I can undo it again if you want me to. Hope everything's OK over there! :) Bretonbanquet (talk) 11:52, 27 August 2011 (UTC) Hey, I see your concerns. It's annoying when articles like this are just left to stagnate. The banner you're thinking of is Reason I haven't been editing predictablyOK, not really an excuse but as a reason: after having some medical issues already, I live in the Maryland, DC, and Virgina area. In one week, we had a 5.9 earthquake, then a hurricane, a tornado, and now massing flooding. There were massive trees uprooted and branches as well, tearing down power lines and worse. So.. things haven't been at the cleanup stage. I'm just glad to have power at this point.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 16:51, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
Re: Cindy WilsonGreetings! I note that you made some edits to the Cindy Wilson article on July 4th. That was the edit where, from that point forward, the photograph of Cindy Wilson appears ABSOLUTELY GIGANTICALLY on my screen. In fact, the rightmost quarter of it or so is all that is visible, spanning the entire page horizontally, and the infobox that used to contain it is just gone. Maybe it's some weird glitchy thing with my computer, but I see it that way in both Chrome and Firefox using a very common OS (Windows Vista). I'm a fairly inexperienced wikipedian and do not know how to "fix" this; can you look into it? Thanks, Mreleganza (talk) 14:27, 14 September 2011 (UTC) EDIT: Someone fixed it.

For a few years now, the Red Link Recovery Project has been using the Red Link Recovery Live tool to track down and fix unnecessarily red links in articles. Recently, the tool has been expanded to work on non-English Wikipedias. A small set of suggested fixes for red-links on the Portugese-language Wikipedia have been prepared and I'm hoping to interest some Portugese-language speakers (such as yourself) to work through them. If you are interested, please visit http://toolserver.org/~tb/RLRL/quick.php?lang=pt. Each time you refresh the page you'll be presented with three new suggested fixes. I'll be happy to answer any questions on the tools talk page. - TB (talk) 21:37, 21 September 2011 (UTC) Please comment on Talk:Laurence TribeResponding to RFCs

RFC bot (talk) 08:15, 21 October 2011 (UTC) interesting websiteHi Leah, What do you think of this website with lots of info and interviews on Clapton, Phil Lynott, Springsteen? (and Van Morrison) - Here I had never run across it before so was kind of surprised to see it show up in a google search for material for Astral Weeks. Lately I've been trying to get that article as complete as I can, after working on it off and on for about 5 years. (!!) If you get a chance hope you'll give it a view and let me know what you think. And feel free to do any copy editing that you think would be helpful. Hope you're feeling fine now. Agadant (talk) 03:45, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Good source for Phil LynottYes! That's a great source, lots of good titbits. Thanks very much for that, plus I simply enjoyed reading it! I agree with you on the Van Morrison article - definitely FA quality - it'll happen soon enough, I'm sure.

DISEman (talk) 00:45, 3 November 2011 (UTC) new article on Paul Du NoyerHi again, Leah... hope you're feeling good or better! I started a new article on Paul Du Noyer, after being surprised to see he didn't have one even though he is the founding editor of Mojo and is a well known music journalist and author. I was thinking it would be nice to have a photo for the article and would like advice from you as to what to ask for and how to go about it? Should I write to him at his contact address and ask him if he would like to put one he owns in Wikicommons or how do I go about it? Any advice would be appreciated - I definitely believe you are the formost expert on acquiring photos of music related subjects on WP! All the best wishes sent your way!

RFC bot (talk) 11:15, 20 November 2011 (UTC) Thin LizzyDifficult one this, which is why I generally stay away from categories! While Bell, Wrixon and Moore were from Northern Ireland (part of the UK), Lynott and Downey were from the Irish Republic, and the band technically formed in the Irish Republic, in Dublin. Whilst they're definitely still an "Irish" band (formed in Ireland and still with Dublin-born Downey, and now also Ricky Warwick, who is Northern Irish), it depends on your definitions as to whether they're a "Northern Irish band". If a number of Northern Irish musicians makes them a Northern Irish band, then yes. If you're sticking to the place where the band was formed, then they're a band from the Irish Republic. I'm not sure what the criteria for categories are, but I hope that makes it a bit clearer! Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:45, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
Re:Can you help?Thanks for the heads up. I moved File:JohnBRiley.jpg to Commons the hard way and deleted it here. The easier way is to use Commons Helper. I looked at the sound files, but am not sure what you want me to do with them. They are fair use so (as you know) they have to be kept here. They have OK fair use rationales and are both discussed briefly in the article - if this were at FAC I'd want better discussion in the article, but what is there is OK. Can you be more specific please? Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 15:24, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
infoboxesThe Moody BluesHi Leah, sorry it's taken a while to get back to you... I've looked over the photos in the Flickr gallery a few times, and I don't think any of them illustrate the band as well as the photo we already have for the infobox. There's a couple of photos of individual band members in there that would look good in the main body of text. What would be nice is if we could get a photo of the band in their heyday, ie. late 60s/early 70s... might be tricky.

The purpose of the "trusted user" template is to verify that the photograph was indeed released under that license at that time. As I am sure you realise, the Creative Commons licenses are non-revokable, and so the image is usable unless we have a reason to believe that Jkelly (for whom I cannot speak) was wrong in this particular case.

I look forward to working with you in the future.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 15:17, 15 February 2012 (UTC) ReHey Leah, I hear what you're saying. Okay, It's definately alright to show a dual Anglo/American format in both infobox and category areas. Polydor falling under Universal Music Group, Atco Records under Warner Music Group. The Vanilla Fudge infobox is fine, showing it this way. Atco doesn't have a category for their artists (I don't exactly know why!), though they're all listed on Atco's main page. For artists appearing on a record label with their group, then only that group should be in the artists category, if that category exists, unless that individual group member released any solo material with the label, then yes, by all means, they should be there too! However, if a person in a group released no solo material, then that person cannot be listed in the category as an artist, only their group can they be (as recording contract deals are set up that way).

Hi,Leah. Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate your help, and that of my good friend Discographer.I must confess, I still don't know a lot about Wikipedia Policy, I'm just a big fan of classic R&B and the artists who make it...who wants to see the histories of these artists fairly and accurately documented. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, I wanted to be sure that these artists were properly represented. I also still don't know how to upload pictures of artists , which is why I asked Discographer to do it for me . I originally found the picture of The Famous Flames on Flicker, which is why I thought it might be okay. I also wanted to have pictures of The Midnighters and ,Bobby Rogers,Pete Moore, Ronnie White, and Marv Tarplin of The Miracles, who died just this past September 30th, on their respective articles.I don't confess being completely computer literate (still working on that one too),but thought it would be nice to add them, since these artists are all about to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April. I haven't had much time to read your tutorial info, but will do so tonight . I'll be in touch. Thanks Again, User talk:Willgee Willgee (talk) 00:18, 24 February 2012 (UTC) P.S.
