Portal

Hi Diane, nice to hear from you. Unfortunately I know nothing about portals. I've never really looked into them in any depth, and when I did look at them some time ago, I didn't really understand and gave up on the whole idea. So, I'm in the same boat as you. I had another look after receiving your message and the editing seems to be open to all. If you look at the edit history, there is the same style of editing as here. ie People edit, and if they do something that doesn't fit, it gets revised or reverted. I see no reason why you can't participate and no reason why there should not be a Guy Sebastian project (not portal). Have a look at Wikipedia:Portal and Wikipedia:WikiProject Kylie Minogue. I remember the person who started the Kylie project did it simply because they thought it needed doing, so you can do the same. Projects are usually very welcoming of people who wish to take part, and if you make it known at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian music that you need a little help and advice, I'm sure you'll find someone more than willing. Or you could just message someone who appears to be active in that project. Rossrs (talk) 15:09, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Guy Sebastian

Hi Diane

I wanted to catch up with you after your recent report at WP:ANI. I've been looking periodically at the talk page, and I've not seen the kind of discussion I'd hoped for, so I'm a wee bit concerned. Are the issues with the lead section resolved, do you think? If so, I'll stop worrying; if not, I'll have another chat with the two editors concerned...!

Cheers, TFOWR 08:53, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Headlining on Guy Sebastian article

Hi Diane, I have noticed you removed the title headlining from the tours section, now i understand what the meaning of headlining means, but guy sebastian did have other artists at his tours. for example, the 2004/2005 - Beautiful Life Tour, it featured Paulini Curuenavuli and The Memphis Tour featured Steve Cropper and Jimmy Barnes and his Like It Like That Tour for USA will feature Jordin Sparks does this count as headlining tours?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Get Along Tour, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Keys and Bango (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Bring Yourself 2009-04-04.ogg

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on File:Bring Yourself 2009-04-04.ogg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from recording an artist's live performance does not give you copyright/ownership of the recorded music. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 13:29, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Diane (talk) 09:02, 10 July 2015 (UTC) My apologies Big Bad Wolfowitz - my adding this ogg media- was to show vocal ability and audience reaction only not to infringe on copyright. I thought it added to the article in showing in an encyclopedic way the journey of the artist vocally and artistically as a songwriter.
