Your edit to List of songs in Guitar Hero

Your edit to List of songs in Guitar Hero changed the title of the song by The Bags from "Caveman Rejoice" to "Cavemen Rejoice". I just want to note (in case you may have missed it) that the referenced article on IGN.com states the song title as "Caveman Rejoice" by The Bags. Lightsup55 ( T | C ) 16:28, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I am awarding you this WikiCookie for your constructive edits on Wikipedia--LAAFan 16:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

David Hare

Looks like we were both working on that one at the same time! btw I reverted one hatnote to point to the explicitly-named redirect; it makes it much easier to distinguish between intentional and unintentional links for maintenance. Hope you don't mind. --AndrewHowse (talk) 19:41, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Mark Martin (racecar driver)

Earlier consensus had the article moved to Mark Martin because he's by far the most famous person with that name. I started another discussion to determine consensus again (see (Talk:Mark Martin (racecar driver) for both discussions). Please hold off with the disambig relinking until this discussion is done. I saw your edit to an article on my watchlist to discover this happening. Royalbroil 15:59, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

2nd Marquess of Dorset

Hi. Because of the crazy way this change is displaying itself, I can't make out what it is. Could you please summarize? Regards, Xn4 (talk) 00:21, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I removed a space between the header (==Family==) and the paragraph itself. That's why the change is shown this way. I also repaired a link to a disambiguation page (George Neville). Fratrep (talk) 13:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I see Boleyn has moved George Neville to George Neville, archbishop of York. Xn4 (talk) 13:41, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Repairing links

I see you're repairing link to Canadian Soccer League disambiguation page and you've been replacing some of them with "Canadian Soccer League (1987%E2%80%931992)". Could you please replace this with "Canadian Soccer League (1987–1992)" (mdash or ndash inside the link) as your replacement sometimes doesn't work for me. Admiral Norton ^(talk) 20:20, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Date formats

Hey. You recently changed the date formats on Rowan Vine from international day-first format to US month-first format. You may well be unaware that date style shouldn't be changed without a very good reason, and in this case, the article already used an appropriate format. Please have a look at the section of the Manual of Style which deals with dates and numbers, the second paragraph and the Dates section. I'll change Mr Vine's dates back. Also, it's a bit naughty using a stock disambiguation edit summary when you're actually doing far more than disambiguating. Keep up the good work on the disambiguation front, though! cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:14, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Saw Your Edit HERE

I followed your link in the comment section, but I'm afraid that I don't quite understand exactly what it is that you're advocating; as I best understand it, it seems highly technical and easy to make a mistake in.
--NBahn (talk) 01:13, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I fixed the link to Martyrs (which is a dab page) to link to Martyr instead (without the "s"). And, yes, that is purely technical! Fratrep (talk) 14:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of War Before Civilization

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article War Before Civilization, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Cybercobra (talk) 10:04, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages with links

Regarding this edit, are you sure that the correct link count is 35,357? My scripts consistently give me the total of 34,997. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 15:56, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

I've made the sum in an Excel grid and it gave me a total of 35,357. -- Fratrep (talk) 16:00, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, you're quite right. Excel helped me find the problem, too; three lines were missing a ':' character. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 18:23, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

WP:NOTBROKEN

Hi. I noticed that you repaired two redirects in Mets-Phillies rivalry. While one was a link to a disambiguation page, the other was a redirect that works. Per WP:NOTBROKEN, please don't pipe redirects to locations to which they already direct. Thanks! KV5 (Talk • Phils) 17:32, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the info! Fratrep (talk) 17:35, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of bass guitarists

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of bass guitarists. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bass guitarists. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:06, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

10000 disambiguations

From Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/June 2010, did you intentionally make our progress exactly 10000 disambigs, or was it pure luck? –Schmloof (talk · contribs) 20:34, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

It was pure luck! :) Fratrep (talk) 16:48, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

February Disambig challenge

Greetings! I've challenged my fellow disambiguators to help knock out more than a thousand disambig links a day for the month of February, and every bit helps. Please check out the list at Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links and see if you can get in the game for this month. Cheers! bd2412 T 03:38, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:24, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

May 2014 disambig contest: let's do it again!

Greetings fellow disambiguator! Remember back in February when we made history by clearing the board for the first time ever, for the monthly disambiguation contest? Let's do it again in May! I personally will be aiming to lead the board next month, but for anyone who thinks they can put in a better effort, I will give a $10 Amazon gift card to any editor who scores more disambiguation points in May. Also, I will be setting up a one-day contest later in the month, and will try to set up more prizes and other ways to make this a fun and productive month. Cheers! bd2412 T 18:48, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
