For the sake of learning..MelbourneStar, the edit that you had to revert (Breedlove-Homeboy); that was reverting vandalism, right? Is that type of situation pretty common? ThanksPetersontinam (talk) 16:37, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Referencr mixed upFirst THANK YOU for fixing my reference...I was still struggling for a half hour on how to do it and then I saw that you went ahead. But Ref#21 has a kid cudi article instead of the HCMA article, which is weird because the typed words are for HCMA. Could you please take a look at it? thank youPetersontinam (talk) 01:37, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Schubert Symphony No. 3Thanks for the welcome; I'm far from new, but I just resurrected an old account to get around a mysterious new IP block. Not sure why it's there; apparently I share an address with a vandal (or my contributions to various articles on classical music while not logged in were not appreciated, despite being researched and within my definite area of expertise as a conductor). Anyway. Your welcome message thanked me for my edit to the page Symphony No. 3 (Schubert), but you also removed the content of that edit. May I ask what was wrong with it? Thanks. Ra56 (talk) 03:40, 9 January 2012 (UTC) Update: found a message from you on my talk page; is insight garnered from professional expertise and familiarity with the music under discussion insufficient? Ra56 (talk) 03:48, 9 January 2012 (UTC) I can go find a liner note writer who heard the same thing I did; I think Michael Trapp drew the same conclusion in his notes on Günter Wand's recording of Schubert's Complete Symphonies with the Kölner Rudfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester, but I don't see how that makes it more legitimate. Ra56 (talk) 04:00, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
Also worth noting that nothing on that page is cited, and that the vast majority of the information added can't even be traced to a definite user. Plus, it's not terribly well-written or insightful. But I don't see the point in adding my insight to the page, because it seems I'm held to a higher standard than the original writer, whose personal insight was acceptable despite the fact that mine isn't. Maybe I'm getting bitter, but it seems I have better luck making positive contributions when I don't try to participate in the community by logging in first. How do you expect to have analysis of music if people aren't permitted to analyze it? Ra56 (talk) 04:05, 9 January 2012 (UTC) Oh, and I cannot fathom that such a simple observation (which really goes no farther than elaborating on the information already present) is "likely to be challenged."

Wikipedia:You don't need to cite that the sky is blue Ra56 (talk) 04:26, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
See, that's the trouble. To a trained musician, my observation really is that obvious. To a layperson, the resemblance is worth pointing out, and it would be interesting to someone in the field who's not familiar with the work in question. Of course, it's even clearer in the Sixth Symphony in some respects, but adding it there would be equally futile, as I'm sure now that I've mentioned it you'll go delete it if I write anything. Ra56 (talk) 04:45, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
From the liner notes of Schubert: The Complete Symphonies, conducted by Günter Wand with the Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra (this section of notes by Rolf-A. Dimpfel): "Schubert's third symphony (early summer of 1815) incorporates his impressions of Rossini, who was attracting so much attention in Vienna at that time that not even Beethoven war impervious to it." Is that not a citation? Ra56 (talk) 04:51, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Good catch...Good catch on that good faith edit (Ben Breedlove), but I wonder...is it time to update the numbers yet? I think it said once a month. Personally, I wish there was a proper way to add into the article that there are thousands of messages left daily to him still...even this far away from the initial loss. I know, it ends up sounding like a memorial, but what do you think? BTW, the Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation told me that they were trying to include Ben in their next newsletter.

No Legal threatHi. Re your note about legal threats (article headed Cabair) not tolerated in articles, sorry I am new to wikipedia. I was just making a factual statement that legal action is already contemplated in relation to some comments on here but I note the comment and will not do this again. I have a problem though. I am a new director of Cabair (along with two other - ie there is not a sole director) and many of the statements being made on here are not correct. I have not tried to hide the past of the previous Cabair, but some of the things being said about old and new directors, ownership and use of creditor monies is not correct and needs to be corrected. I tried to correct again this morning but some new incorrect comments are added again. Any suggestions about how we can have the correct information or do I just have to leave it incorrect? Any guidance/assitance appreciated. Thanks Swatkins1964 (talk) 17:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

BroNYCon article nominated for deletionYes hello. I'm from the My Little Pony WikiProject, I recently saw you removed the article for deletion box. Right now the article is a mess with a citation from a finnish newspaper from 2009, the convention started in 2011 and the citation link doesn't mention the brony phenomenon or MLP at all. The article also advertises for an upcoming event, also frowned on. I would remove these to clean up the article but then the category box would be bigger than the article, it's best to just delete. There are other problems with the article too, like citing the development team for an upcoming fan-made game which could also be seen as not notable until it's released and advertising. There is already a wikipedia article for this game which it should link to instead, rather than attempting to increase the article size with an unnecessary citation for the sake of one. Shortening the article further. The NYC article mentioning the tiny (700 is very small by convention standards) group of fans really doesn't make it notable, if it did wikipedia would be littered with articles on every protest group mentioned in a newspaper. It is there simply to pander to the fans and is best left to a 3rd party wiki site that allows this type of advertising. incog (talk) 14:22, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Darien AngadiI appreciate the time and work you put in to ensure the facts on these pages are correct. But we are concerned that the page about Darien, our late brother, is incorrect and in some ways offensive. We cannot find sources on the internet which corroborate the facts, because all sources have aligned with Wikipedia and the incorrect date of death. If all sources are checked, how did you find this date of death in the first place? As we have repeated, he died on December 5th 1981 - over 2 years before you state. There were obituaries in the Ham and High after his funeral at St John's Parish church in Hampstead that are not available on internet. He died before the TV series Muck and Brass in which he acted came out. One of the reviews of the series in early 1982 (written by Chris Dunkley)mentioned Darien's acting and his suicide. Work did not "dry up" as is mentioned and this wasn't the cause of his depression. Our family finds this offensive and if we cannot correct these errors, please remove the entry entirely.Darienangadi (talk) 00:02, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Regarding the Sandringham Line updated info.Yep, I'm new to adding information to wikipedia. But those are valid sources from essentially the whole public, as it is common knowledge that trains run every 15 mins at x time, and every 20 mins on weekends, etc. How can I source a common fact the whole community knows of? I could source the Metlink timetable (I'd have to source http://www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au/route/view/12), if that helps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.77.3.2 (talk) 12:35, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Where would I put the timetable frequencies under then? Which section? Because if you were to check out the (British) Network Rail railway station pages, they mostly have frequencies sections in them. And these frequencies will not change significantly anytime soon, if not simpler than todays confusing timetable Metro runs, so it doesn't hurt to add them in? P.S. It takes 28-30 minutes to Flinders Street direct (not city loop), it varies because Metro added a couple of minutes onto the train times in peak hours, back in May 2011 revision of the timetable and 28 minutes in non-peak hours. Also, there are 4 tracks at Sandringham, you just have to count them physically there, how can I prove otherwise that there's 4 tracks, and that it stables 4 trains overnight? I've been at Sandringham Station after the last train and before the first train departs and there is always 4 trains stabled overnight just by physically looking at it. How can that be sourced? There are 4 buses that depart from outside Sandringham station, can you source that? Again its common knowledge in the community that they depart from outside the station. Finally regarding late night services section, trains do return to the city after the last scheduled service on Friday and Saturday nights, as there is no physical space in the stabling facilities to store them overnight, hence I added a mention of that. Again you will not find this anywhere in writing, but from the view of the public, and even the word of station staff, can you source them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.77.3.2 (talk) 12:52, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Can you leave the bus section and that 2 trains begin their journey from Middle Brighton in the morning peak? I think some people would find that interesting fact about Middle Brighton. Trains are timetabled to reach Flinders Street Station between 28-30 minutes also. I have school soon too, need to sleep first, 12am here.

Unfounded revertHi Melbourne Star! You have reverted a correction I made to the article Sándor Petőfi about German and not French being the dominant language of theatre in Hungary at the time. I have now re-corrected it and added a reliable source, as you requested. Still I, must say that a "citation needed" tag from your part would have been much more appropriate. I guess that you don't know anything about Hungary and Hungarian history, so you didn't realize what obvious hogwash the claim was that French was the theatre language in the country at the time. (I mean, why not Swedish or Chinese??) So please be more careful with reverts of corrections you don't know the background of - especially if the corrector gives reasons for them in the notes, as I did. Lumendelumine (talk) 12:26, 15 March 2012 (UTC) Yeah, and it's also new to me that you need a citation for the birth of a person who has an entry on a WP page in another language (like Petőfi's son Zoltán: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet%C5%91fi_Zolt%C3%A1n, whose name is btw also mentioned as "child" in the English-language WP).

"Present" in italics (L&O: SVU characters page)Don't you think it's a bit inconsistent to italicize "Present" for a select group of characters rather than all? The reason I removed the italics in the first place is that they are a bit distracting, and I fail to see the purpose of using them in the first place. So can we reach an agreement here? Either every character has "present" in italics or doesn't. Personally, I'm voting for the latter. Davejohnsan (talk) 22:56, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
