Verlaines[edit]

Welcome from me, too. It's good to see someone adding some info to some NZ music pages. If, as your name and editing suggest, you're a fellow kiwi, you might like to check out the Wikipedia:New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board, too. Grutness...wha? 02:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Collateral damage from block[edit]

<<unblock|The IP address belongs to a public library and I would like to know exactly what I "supposedly" vandalised?!?!>>

Your account's block log has no entries, which leads me to believe you're blocked by IP (more than likely a shared IP involving multiple users, probably some good and some bad). I'll need to know the IP address in question before I can look into this. If you're autoblocked, I need the original blockee's username. Luna Santin 04:04, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

<<unblock|I'm not to sure if I'm doing this right but here is the IP address. 210.55.194.9. Umm and I don't know what autoblocked is, sorry.>>

<<unblock-auto|1=210.55.194.9|2=Vandalism>> Sorry if I'm doing this all wrong. The person that blocked the IP address is User:Jossi. Thank you. Also is there some way of letting people know that this IP address, 210.55.194.9 and quite a few others (all have access to the wikipedia) belong to the Auckland City Public Library in New Zealand?

That's better. :) Now that I can look into this a little more, the block was on the IP for vandalism, for one hour. It's also expired by this time, so unfortunately there's not much more for me to do, but you should be able to edit -- throw down another template if you're still having any problems.

Re:Hello Sailor[edit]

And hello ducky to you :) I can't see anything wrong with that part of the article, and I expanded it a little by adding some chart positions as recorded in "Stranded in paradise". I agree with the idea of keeping the individual musician articles separate, BTW, especially those for Brazier and McArthney. Do I take it from your username that you're connected with the recording industry? I'm distantly connected to it myself (I'm an APRA member and used to perform regularly). Grutness...wha? 05:06, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a quiet word with User:Palfrey. Best I can suggest as far as making notability clear is noting any that have made it into the NZ charts. unfortunately I work from my early-edition "Stranded in paradise" for that, which only goes up to 1988 - if you have more recent chart information, adding it in would help! Ray Of Shine at least should have got into the charts. Grutness...wha? 04:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can you please point me to the guidelines that you are stating, in your revert. Chopper Dave 19:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Whirimakoblack.jpg[edit]

Category:New Zealand Māori[edit]

Hi - I've just nominated this for deletion at WP:CFD (or more correctly, to merge and rename it with the long-standing Category:Māori people). For a move affecting such a large number of New Zealand articles, it would have been useful if you could have proposed this change at several of the New Zealand-related project pages rather than just going ahead and moving it! The old name may have been slightly ambiguous (in that it didn't specify that the people were New Zealand-born or New Zealand citizens) but the new name is potentially worse, since it makes no mention of the fact that it is for people at all - it could just as easily contain articles like Kapa haka or Marae. At CFD I've suggested a compromise - Category:New Zealand Māori people - which should remove both ambiguities. Being bold is good, but - as WP:BOLD points out - it works better for articles than for other types of pages like templates and categories! Grutness...wha? 05:47, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sorry if I came across a bit too officious. Yesterday was just a bit too tough one way an another. Editing at 6 a.m.? You do live here! Grutness...wha? 22:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not too bad here today (cool but sunny), but it's generally doing it's typical spring weather thing (alternating days of cold winter and hot summer). Weird situation the other day of 26 degrees and icebergs visible off the coast. Only in New Zealand :) Grutness...wha? 01:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Compliment[edit]

Kudos on your great edits to Vision (Golden Age) and Blonde Phantom! Happy Wiki-ing -- Tenebrae 01:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, nonfictional character![edit]

I just saw your comment to Chris Griswold about fixing the "Fictional character history" headings. If you want help checking characters methodically, you might try List of male superheroes, List of superheroines, or Category:Supervillains. I worked my way through the first half of List of male superheroes, although I know that people who don't get the point have reverted some of those edits.

List of S.H.I.E.L.D. members[edit]

Hey I just wanted to say thanks for adding all that info to the List of S.H.I.E.L.D. members. I think you made the page almost twice as big. Anyway there are just a few small problems(for lack of a better word) on what you did.

The list you made for former members. The thing is with all the craziness that happens in the Marvel Universe, such as switching sides and dieing and coming back to life. We really cant tell who is a former member and who isn't.

What you have added in the notes sections. The notes are supposed to be just a small explanation of who the character this, not there entire back story. If you want to add the back story to a character that you should most likely make a new article for him/her.

Again these aren't really big things, just some minor stuff for later on. Thanks again. Phoenix741 04:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, RIANZ. You do good work, and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind trimming some of the long biographical backgrounds appearing in this chart's "Notes" section. By the nature of it being a chart, the text in it needs to be succinct and at-a-glance. If somebody deserves a full bio, then they deserve their own article; most of these are infrequently seen supporting players. I've trimmed some, but it takes a lot of work to do so. It'd be great if you could pitch in. Thanks --Tenebrae 00:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
