User talk:Thomas W. Jefferson
Hi. Tks for the compliment. Are you aware that, on talk pages, you can sign your name automatically by simply typing four tildes (~) at the end of your post. This inserts your user name, the date and time of your post. Cheers. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 08:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC) Thank you Jack! I am obviously new to this and still trying to find my way. But let's give it a try:Thomas W. Jefferson 09:23, 30 December 2009 (UTC)Thomas W. Jefferson 23:03, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Your recent edits[edit]
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:15, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you! Let me try! Thomas W. Jefferson 23:19, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- The four tildes do not go in the "edit summary" box. They go right after what you write as a comment, and they'll add your username and a timestamp automatically. The four tildes should only be used on Talk pages, not in the article itself. (this is where i put the four tildes; it automatically turned into my signature and timestamp) MKoltnow 23:27, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks again! I just realized I had the wrong box checked in my user account. Problem solvend!--Thomas W. Jefferson (talk) 23:34, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Thomas. Thank you for writing this article, I enjoyed especially the interesting and amusing criticism by Berlioz. I'm not familiar with him (and as a Czech and classical music fan, I have some knowledge of Czech music :), perhaps because he spent his career abroad. I can learn every day something new here on Wikipedia. Again, thanks. Btw, I've noted the categories at your user page. These categories are intended for the articles, not for users - now you are listed among notable pianists from all over world! Instead of the content categories, you should use thing called userbox ({{User piano}} in this case). When you place it on your userpage, it'll produce this:
 | This user plays the piano. |
.
For further information, look at Wikipedia:Categorization#User pages, please. Have a nice day, and keep up the good work. Cheers. --Vejvančický (talk) 07:25, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Antonin, Thank you for your friendly advice and your greeting. I added some more material on Lachnith today; I will try to unearth some more material on Lachnith’s participation at the Concerts Spirituels and his relationship (of there was one) with Marie Antoinette. Lachnith’s father was a church musician at Pra-gue’s Jesuit church; I will try to get a picture of it. I already pasted the piano user box on my user site. This is fun! I am sure that Lachnith was a capable composer and probably a genial man (as most Czechs are). But what fate: to be blasted by a giant like Berlioz and to be condemned to eternal derision and the Hades of music because of that.Thomas W. Jefferson (talk) 21:06, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
