i have quite a [few things to finish http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AlexOvShaolin] and i am only very briefly familiar with Zoviet France (own none of their albums) and i don't plan to contribute to the ZF article much than i have. its been nice having someone match the work i'm putting into the muslimgauze discography, otherwise my work on the article would be very little and far between. i hope you'll continue helping me with that article. --AlexOvShaolin 19:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'll absolutely keep up with you on the Muslimgauze discography. The Zoviet France backcatalogue is much smaller, so I may be able to take it on myself. Perhaps that and the Rapoon discography would be a fun project... dil 19:51, 13 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Correct use of "of" versus "Of"

edit

Hi, I changed your edit to the Muslimgauze discography. Words such as "of" should only be capitalized when they are the first or last word of a title. In general that is true of all propositions, conjunctions, and articles. Please see [1] for a good overview. :) --Mperry 17:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Aphex Twin

edit

Honestly I had no intention of vandalising the Aphex Twin page! I didn't expect your reaction at all. As Recury's joke hinted at, the genre list is a pain in the ass. Could the article survive without it? I believe the answer to this rhetorical question is yes. Why do you think it is necessary? Regards, Joyrex 20:34, 28 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Muslimgauze

edit

Hello Cpdilkus,

I am delighted to have a 'mad scientist' aboard the Muslimgauze Wikipedia task force! I look forward to your contributions. Btw, were you the one who did all the discography entries? If so, I am impressed. The current big question looms large, what Muslimgauze audio snippets do we post? How to improve the site to 'Feature' status?

Thanks for joining us! I. Khider (talk) 18:11, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

The entry is getting vandalized and please let me know how to track down this user who goes by IP.

Welcome to ARS!

Hi, Cpdilkus, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron WikiProject! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles and content that have been nominated for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable, and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles and content to quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again — Welcome! Addbot (talk) 00:01, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply


Speedy deletion nomination of Return of Black September

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Return of Black September requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
