Druqkqs by Aphex Twin

I was wondering if you could offer me a sample of your success with combining the two discs of Drukqs? I own a few of the songs (and love most of them), and would purchase the whole thing if you could offer me a sample showing me that it works. Thank for any help. Please reach me at my email mattman91 at gmail.com, I don't login to wikipedia very often. --Iancurtis

Nihilism

Hello. I'm not really party to this debate. I'm just on RC Patrol reverting blankings and vandalism. You may like to take your points to the discussion page of the article in question.

Edits

Please stop adding your personal opinion to articles. Yes, Under the Bridge was a great song, and yes, Joseph Stalin was a bad man, but please don't insert your feelings into the articles. Thank you. --Golbez 04:21, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Hello

I just happened to drop by your page. Noticed you are a user of deviantART. Keep up the good work. Oh and your idea for the Salad Fingers article is a good one. That series does deserve some psychological analysis. --cheese-cube 14:44, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Salad Finger Theories

Hi,

You may have noticed that I marked Salad Finger Theories for deletion on VFD. The main reason is that pages that are a real mess while they are a 'work in progress' should not exist on Wikipedia. If you need time to work on the page, that's fine; just do so as a sub-page of your user page, like User:Raddicks/SFT. You can do anything you want there until the page is the way you want; then go and create the page you want in the main 'pedia, and move the content over.

The second reason I nominated it for deletion is that a 6-episode Flash cartoon doesn't merit a separate article on its themes. That is a worthy subject for the Salad Fingers article itself, and I would suggest you add a section about the themes there.

Regards,

(responding to your note on my talk page) You don't have to appeal anything; just complete the page so it's up to the standards of a good article and when it's done, create a new page for it; though I would probably call it something like "Psychological themes of Salad Fingers". I still think you can sum it up in a couple of paragraphs that would fit much better into the main article. There's no need to create a long list of obvious themes; better to have a short list of the most important or interesting ones. Tempshill 00:51, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Green tea

Just a note that your user page links to the film Green Tea (movie) rather than to the beverage Green tea, generally when preparing, in answer to your question, Green tea you should use a teapot. They say the best ones for Green tea are Zu Ni Zisha (Yellow Clay Purple Sand) teapots but they can be pricey, you can just get an ordinary Zisha and you'll be fine. Its not a big investement, you can get it for about $25 including the postage direct from China to the UK, if you know where. Its a lot cheaper and better than UK. Usually good quality green tea will not float on the surface; that is bud-only or bud-1-leaf tea, but I am not too clued up on Green tea so don't know. --Iateasquirrel 20:50, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that I have recently moved Green Tea the movie to Green Tea (movie) to avoid just the sort of confusion with green tea that arose in the previous para. Abtract 18:52, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crime and Punishment

I didn't say that the references were just coincidental, and I recognize the many similar themes. But you must admit that to list The Machinist as a movie version of Crime and Punishment would be incorrect. Reznik does not commit murders on the pretense that he will go on to be an extraordinary man, instead he kills a boy by accident. This difference and its effect on the remainder of each work is far too crucial to call The Machinist a movie version of C and P.

The list of movie versions on the C and P article refers to direct adaptations of the novel, not films that share common themes, characters, or contain Dostoevsky references, no matter how many there are. It may interest you that on The Machinist there is not even a mention of Dostoevsky, so you can always extrapolate on the similarities there in much greater detail. Thanks. --TM ^(talk) 22:08, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it again then brought it back with a clarification that it's not a direct adaptation but shares many themes, etc. Hope you find it agreeable. --TM ^(talk) 22:45, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for brining this vandal to my attention. It looks like he has stopped. In the future, you can report vandals to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Many administrators watch this page, so it is a good way to get our attention :) Thanks! --Ryan Delaney ^talk 18:35, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category Markup

I think you want to use

   [[Category:Wikipedians in the United Kingdom|{{PAGENAME}}]]

rather than

   [[Category:Wikipedians in the United Kingdom|subst:PAGENAME]]

to identify yourself in this category. At present you are listed under "s" rather than "R" in the category list, from the first letter of "subst" presumably.

Hey

Your bio sounds interesting. I've never heard of inconclusionism. I'm new on Wikipedia, and am just surfing around a bit and meeting a few random folks.

Fair use rationale for Image:Itsu_1.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Itsu_1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 10:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of John major jenkins

A tag has been placed on John major jenkins requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File source problem with File:Elephantman1.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Elephantman1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:10, 1 December 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:10, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
