Relient K Discography

I appreciate what you're trying to do with the Relient K discography section, but there's simply far too much information there right now, and it's very cluttered. The previous format probably had too much as well, but it was organized much more clearly. If the gallery format is going to be used, some of it needs to be trimmed out. There's a discussion going on at the Musicians WikiProject about discography sections. I'm trimming down the Relient K section to match the gallery-style proposal there. The information I'm removing can be covered in the articles for the albums (or the main discography article), if it's not there already. If you'd like to find a system between the two, I'd suggest starting a discussion on the Relient K talk page so those who are interested can attempt to arrive at a consensus. --Fru1tbat 14:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Thanks

Heya there. You're very welcome. Happy to help. I've given the IP a final warning, and I'm keeping an eye on him so if they vandalise once more I will block them. Best regards. Will (aka Wimt) 23:30, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Kellie

Oh yeah! I'm a big fan of her since I had the chance to watch her singing "How Far" at American Idol. Kellie has a really good base of fans in Brazil, her brazilian community on orkut.com has 270 members since her audition. I also love Kelly C., Tamyra & Ryan Starr from season 1, Carmen Rasmusen from season 2, Diana DeGarmo/Jasmine Trias from season 3, Carrie Underwood from 4 and Kat McPhee, Daughtry, Elliott and Mandisa.

Washington Monument Photo

How does your photo add any value to the Washington Monument page?

It shows the view from the top. Much more valuable and unique in "my opinion" than the one you added of some statuary my precocious teen.

There was a problem with overcrowding photos on the page, and yours was one of the casualties.

Your opinion, but not that of any others from what I can see.

If you want to replace you(r) picture, I suggest using a gallery.

The same suggestion back at you regarding YOUR photo, my son.

Oh, just wondering, who is the 13 year old editor you're referring to? If you mean me, your facts would be wrong on my age, contrary to Wikipedia's policy on facts: only facts. Thank you, and have a nice day. Flap Jackson 13:45, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I guess you would be about 16 by now. So much older and more mature than I previously suggested. For comparison though, I have a pair of sneakers old than you, son.

By the by, does the AG church teach anything about humility, respecting others and especially your elders?

RE: Reply to "Washington Monument Photo"

"It shows the view from the top. Much more valuable and unique in "my opinion" than the one you added of some statuary my precocious teen."

I have to disagree. Hear me out on this.

Certainly.

I've been to the top of the Washington Monument, and everyone is taking pictures. I took pictures. Millions of tourists take picture up there each year. I think that is a logical argument to say that the photo is not unique.

I'm not sure the monument gets "millions" of visitors per year, but my point is that my photo is unique to the page. Certainly you are right, many folks have taken photos from the top. However not everyone in the world can travel to the Washington Monument to see the view. That's the point of having a source of information like Wikipedia. Most people don't have unlimited travel budgets or time to visit all the world's great locations. Thus those of us who have visited a location, can share a photo or two that helps describe the location and feeling one might have being there. Using your logic, I could argue that your photo is also captured by the same millions of people who visit each year.

If you disagree with that, take it up with an administrator.

No need to go running to admins for a simple difference of opinion.

As to my photo, I consider it to be important because it's dedicated to the man who the monument was named after. Besides, there wasn't a picture of the monument's namesake on the page.

Neither was there a photo of a view from the top ... after your edit.

If you come up with a better one, I'm all for it. Or, if you completely disagree, take it up with an administrator.

There you go with running to the admins. Let's try to hash it out ourselves first.

My personal feeling is that the page is describing the "Washington Monument", not Washington himself. Although, your photo has merit. It has less to do with the monument than with Washington himself. But either way, I have no plans to axe your photo.

To get to the bones of it, my difficulty was with a child editor (not a put down, but a description of where you are in life) who also sports an exceptionally healthy opinion of himself and his abilities in his bio (before you changed it), might do better to consider gathering what the Wiki community calls consensus before making wholesale machete-like edits to a very well established page.

I don't have time to go point by point with all the rest of your last message. But I don't dislike you as you mused in your last message. And I'm glad you think so highly of yourself and your abilities. For the most part, you should go far in life with such an attitude. But I think you'll also have to be careful not to go head long into life situations with a "my way is the best way" attitude, or you run into a lot of folks who beg to differ.

But on a final personal note, I think it's good to see kids your age interested in stuff like this. I would guess you do well is school and will probably be a leader in your community as you put more and more experience and education under your belt.

As for my photo, it might go better in a gallery, however the text under the photo shares a lot of information which wouldn't fit well in a gallery layout.

In any case, good luck, kid. I'm sure you got a lot going for you.

August 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to User talk:24.61.2.20, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please DO NOT encourage the vandals. Any further encouraging may result in another warning. ACBest 22:22, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Wait, I was told that that was vandalism by a 12-year old? Didn't know there were that many nerdy wet blankets in elementary school. And that edit wasn't vandalism, it was a sarcastic remark on another person's user page that was made in light. It wasn't like I said the guy was an idiot, I was making light on an edit of his I undid. If the guy didn't like it, he could have taken it off, but it was not vandalism. Now, if you would be so kind to take the warning of my page please. If you went through my edit history you would see that every edit was constructive to say the least. Flap Jackson 22:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, please do not call me a 'nerdy wet blanket'. I do vandal fighting, because we need to keep this wiki in one condition - readable. Secondly, i suggest you read WP:NPA, after what you have just called me. Finally, even if it was sarcasm, it was 'not right, and, as such, is counted as vandalism. Many thanks, and I hope we understand each other now, ACBest 22:52, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Some people can't take a joke. Flap Jackson 23:52, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Uploading images

Thank you for uploading images/media such as Image:The Lilly Of Life.JPG to Wikipedia! There is however another Wikimedia foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please consider creating an account and uploading media there instead. That way, all the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!

Chrome (XM) Review

I have asked for a deletion review of Chrome (XM). The article has been speedy-deleted and stated that the page is content-free and that Chrome is sufficient enough. If you have any thoughts in this discussion, please participate. Thanks.TravKoolBreeze 14:50, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Dave Douglas leaving

I changed it to the press release because this is a major event for the band, and it is a big deal to many people that Dave Douglas is leaving. He has been with the band 7 years, longer than Brian Pittman was in the band when he left (6 years) and people still talk about Brian almost everyday on the RK boards. I just felt like a three sentence thing about his departure didn't quite do it justice, and didn't quite explain it fully. I understand your question thoughRoryS89 02:54, 7 November 2007 (UTC)RoryS89
