This user's request to have autoblock on their IP address lifted has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.
Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "TheRoD1988". The reason given for TheRoD1988's block is: "Disruptive editing"<br> Hi, I don't know who this user is (checked his contribution history & it does not match anyone I know) so I'm confused as to why I'm blocked. Perhaps I'm a victim to phishing or something, but I've changed my wifi internet password to prevent this.
Accept reason: Actually, you just likely received an IP recently used by "TheRod1988", so the software assumed you were him. I guarantee you this isn't phishing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:08, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Maine12329. You have new messages at Musdan77's talk page. Message added 22:18, 28 May 2012 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.[reply]
Hello, I don't know what you meant by "messy," but the way you changed it was bad in a couple of ways: the table was elongated, with a big blank space under the infobox (both making it look bad), but the main thing is - a cast list can't go above the desciption of the show (in this case called "Format") per WP:MOSTV. Also, the pictures of the coaches should be above the cast section. I have changed it - not back to how I had it before, so maybe you'll like this better. --Musdan77 (talk) 17:43, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Musdan77.
Yeah, I agree that the names being at a lower part would be better. Erm I wasn't sure what to do because the photos of the coaches were floating about in the middle of the table in the previous revision before I tried to fix it. But the current one looks good. Thank you and sorry for the confusion :)
Sorry, I was misinformed. Sorry for wasting your time. Thank you, sir. Have a nice day. 208.76.160.102 (talk) 20:35, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments at Sia Furler talk. Do you have any time to look at Mark Erelli? I have given it a Fan POV tag and made some comments on the talk page. Would appreciate your input. thanks!-- — Keithbob • Talk • 23:14, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I'll see what I can do. (: ⊾maine12329⊿talk 04:18, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I just noticed [[1]] reversion, and I was curious as to how that was a good faith edit. To me it looks like blatant vandalism. Not accusing you or trying to start something, I'm just curious. Frozen4322 : Chat 12:29, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I guess that could be considered as vandalism too, but kind of grey this one... When using the Stiki bot after reading the edit and finding no obvious fault, I would classify deletion of chunks of text as "good faith revert" to give them the benefit of the doubt, in case there was actually a good reason behind it. Blatant vandalism would be writing derogatory things and causing very detrimental problems with the article. ⊾maine12329⊿talks@wiki 13:55, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but they made an edit before the blanking, which was adding "bob is a term for poo". Because I agree that blanking can possibly be a good edit... but only in a small percentage of cases. Frozen4322 : Chat 11:45, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh okay. I'll keep an eye out then. Thank you for the heads-up ^^ ⊾maine12329⊿talks@wiki

Thank you :O today is so awesome; wow I got my first 2 barnstars... ⊾maine12329⊿talks✿wiki 05:24, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, you have excellent timing. Thank you so much for the kitten, it is good to know I made a small difference in someones life and played a small part in encouraging them to contribute to Wikipedia. I was actually having a horrendous day in real life, and reading your little message has made my day. That's a lie, it has actually made my entire month. Thank you so much. :) Happy editing. *rides out to the sunset* Calaka (talk) 13:30, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I thought I would move this off the teahouse if that's OK. I could use your help with that template I think. I'll go into a little more detail then I did on my original post so you can see where I'm at and advise appropriately. (BTW, I'm a pretty new editor. I've been making small changes for a couple of years but just started making serious edits in the past month or so.) I just edited the article for the album Against The Grain In that article I referenced the album cover (thinking it was the original album artwork -- I take out the pictures before I move an article to my sandbox for copyright reasons). Then when I updated the article I saw it was not the original art work but a new picture done by the record company later. The worn out "grain" of the wood on his guitar is still visible but not as much as in the original. I think having the original art work would make the article just a bit better. IMO it would be justifiable to remove the current image and replace it with the original. Or if just creating a duplicate using that template you mentioned is the easiest way, I'm fine with that. Based on that what would you recommend? Mdebellis (talk) 16:42, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hihi~ I would recommend using both covers since they both exist. The more the merrier! (or the more informative.) The images are used for people to recognize the album from their own CD etc after all.
I looked at what you did to the article too. It's pretty good. Maybe not as neutral to be perfect with this phrase "never ending". Hmm, well this stuff usually isn't in the lead. Could move it down to a section titled Background. I could upload the cover art for you if you'd like? ⊾maine12329⊿talks✿wiki 16:56, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I take your point on "never ending". I will rework that to make it less POV. That Gallagher toured and performed a lot compared to other comparable artists is something I can definitely document with a reference. I'll rework that to make it more objective and perhaps fold in another reference. (At times I'm almost worried I'm over doing the references, there seem to already be a lot for the size of the article and I reference different pages in the same book pretty close together but I've been reasoning its always better to have too much detail on that sort of thing). If you don't mind uploading the image and giving me a pointer to the file that would be great. I usually stay away from anything regarding images and IP its not something I know or care a lot about. Just felt it was worth wading in on this time. So to make sure I'm understanding you are suggesting using both images in the article? I didn't realize you could do that (although now that you say it it makes perfect sense) and I absolutely agree that would be best. Mdebellis (talk) 17:35, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've put the other cover in. Yeah you can, that's why the extra album cover template exists XD it's not used very often though. ⊾maine12329⊿talks✿wiki 17:46, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, also... you're new to editing; but I'm new to the Teahouse too OTZ... I hope I wasn't too confusing in my explanation. ⊾maine12329⊿talks✿wiki 17:00, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, it was clear :) Mdebellis (talk) 17:35, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for the barnstar for diligence that you gave me on my work on the American the Voice. I consider the programme a great asset for talented people providing obviously talented individuals a fair chance for eventual success. Wikipedia provides us the opportunity to cover such individuals... On this occasion, I dedicate to you the song "If Merle would Sing My Song" by Blaine Larsen. It summarizes my feelings on such artists. YouTube link here - You can find lyrics here. Again, many thanks for your appreciation - werldwayd (talk) 23:34, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Orphaned non-free media (File:Jessie J featuring Big Sean and Dizzee Rascal - Wild.ogg)[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Jessie J featuring Big Sean and Dizzee Rascal - Wild.ogg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:07, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
