Hi Appaterno. I'm working on WikiProject Stub sorting, and I noticed that your user page is tagged as a biographical stub. I think that category's intended for encyclopedia articles in the main namespace, so would you mind removing it in the interests of organization? (I believe the standard template to use in this situation is {{Userpage}}). Thanks. --David Wahler (talk) 02:02, 24 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

The whole IP range is blocked[1] because it belongs to Go Daddy colocation. MaxSem 07:40, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

We regularly block hosting companies because of people running open proxies which end up being abused by spammers and sockpuppets. If you wish to edit Wikipedia, please do so from a private or personal connection. Thanks. --  Netsnipe  ►  07:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Aha! This clears up the confusion. I was browsing through an SSH tunnel to my hosting server because of having to use an insecure wifi connection. I suppose I won't be doing that any more! A Pattern O 15:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I see this cited as a "self made recording", and I thought it was quite good. Are you actually that proficient on the keyboard? I'm also curious about the outcome of your SSH tunneling. Marc Marc W. Abel (talk) 18:17, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Whether or not I’m proficient is a matter of opinion, but the sad truth is that I haven’t spent much time learning pieces, so there isn’t very much that I can play. The SSH that you asked about was no longer necessary. A Pattern O (talk) 01:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

MAple Leaf Rag redux

Hi! I just thought you'd want to know your recording of the Maple Leaf Rag is up for featured sound! The nomination is here: WP:Featured sound candidates/Maple Leaf Rag.

However, one minor thing: you labelled the file as {{PD-US}}. However, you also have a right to the work because you made the recording. Are you alright releasing your rights to it? Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 22:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
