Request for peer review help

Hi. I currently have the article Insane Clown Posse up for peer review, and I was wondering if you would be interested in taking a look at it and offering some advice to get the article up to FA quality? (Ibaranoff24 (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 14:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC))

Reviewed. --Kakofonous (talk) 19:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

The comment "The lead lacks a good overview" is not very clear. Could you list the topics that should be discussed in the lead that are not already included? (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 04:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC))

I finished cleaning up the article. You may want to take a look over the article and tell me what further changes need to be made. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 20:58, 12 June 2008 (UTC))

• Hi. I've noticed that you have not made any comments on the article since I last worked on it. Should this be taken to mean that your peer review of the article is completed and that there is no further work that needs to be done on the article? (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 21:16, 14 June 2008 (UTC))
  • Responded at the PR. --Kakofonous (talk) 21:38, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Meshuggah

Thank you very much for the copyediting fixes in Meshuggah. Did you have a look also on the style section?--  LYKANTROP  20:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

The edit I made earlier was just a skim for formatting errors and other major things; I did a more in-depth copy edit of "Style" just now. More work is needed on the article's prose, however, but I won't be able to do much for about a day or so. --Kakofonous (talk) 01:51, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Very well. Thanks for that. If you can improve the prose, I'll be glad...And it will have a GA review soon, so you can already make some suggestions... :) --  LYKANTROP  15:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Jeff Buckley GA review

Thanks for the work you did on the article. Thats exactly the kind of thing i'm not good at. Cheers. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 04:11, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem :). --Kakofonous (talk) 10:37, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

:O

As if I didn't already know you stalk my contribs ;-) giggy _(:O) 10:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Ha, I think he was stalking me, actually. In fact, his first edit to the article was before yours. Anyways, I dropped in here to see whether you'd consider reviewing the article at peer review, Kakofonous. Thanks in advance. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 19:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I just watch Giggy's talk page and saw the link there—you're both WRONG! Muhahaha, and all that jazz. Anyway, I'll take a look sometime soon, Nousernamesleft. (That username is such that I can't really think of a shortened form to use as a sort of nickname, like people call me "K" or "Kako" or something like that, so don't think I'm being formal. Didn't want to call you "No" or "Username"; that'd just sound stupid. Maybe NUNL? Food for thought, anyway. :)) --Kakofonous (talk) 20:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, User:NUL redirects to my user page (hm, I wonder who did that?), but I actually hate that acronym. Hah, you'll just have to type it out in full every time. There's some history behind my username, actually - I was trying to register in December of two years ago, but all the usernames I tried were already taken. In frustration, I tried this one, expecting it would also already be taken, but I was pleasantly surprised. Oh yeah, and thanks for the review–I appreciate it. <- gasp, an unspaced en dash for conjunction! Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 23:10, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

After half a comment about the supposed suckiness of your name (I quite like it), this page cracked me up. :) giggy _(:O) 08:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I like the name too, it's just I couldn't think of a shortened nickname form for it. It's actually one of the wittiest I've seen here... --Kakofonous (talk) 13:07, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Me, witty? That's one of the best ones I've heard in a while. I'm not sure what's so hilarious about the history of User:NUL, though. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 18:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps you aren't aware of my overly crude sense of humour—I'm sure Kako is. Anyway I found you creating the page funny. But that's just me. :) giggy _(:O) 01:59, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Ha, you hypocrite! :o 03:43, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Yebbut I like that name (seriously, I think)! giggy _(:O) 09:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, I didn't consider the fact that I hated it when I created that redirect, so there. Anyways, Ars Conjectandi is over at FAC if you want to take a more in-depth look. (and for the passing stranger reading this, this isn't canvassing! They already know about the article, and I'm not trying to influence them either way. And I would, um, try to convince them to oppose if anything. Yeah.) Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 02:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

(out) Paranoid much, NUNL? --Kakofonous (talk) 02:02, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

The FAC is on my watchlist, canvassing commences now. giggy _(:O) 02:05, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Meh. You can never be too careful. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 23:06, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Don't make me mention the FAC on IRC! :O giggy _(:O) 02:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

IRC? Ugh, I hate IRC! You'd better not mention it again - don't make yourself my first ever indef block! (Well, actually, first block ever except for blocking and then unblocking myself - see this) Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 22:53, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

ZOMG??!! You mean that you used your tools less than me? That must mean that you don't really need them! Desysop time! Grab your torches and pitchforks! --Kakofonous (talk) 01:55, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, but you forget one thing - I have more deletions than you, and deletions are the true mark of a sysop! Who's going to be desysopped now, eh? Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 02:06, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

You rogue! Oh no, I mean you rouge… --Kakofonous (talk) 02:08, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

*win* - Oh, and Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 19, 2008!! giggy _(:O) 11:03, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, but that's Commons, and Commons is too mellow to count! About the main page thing, pah, you should write more about topics that no one else likes to write about to get work onto the main page. Writing about music and video games will get you nowhere. Writing about math, on the other hand, might get you somewhere. (I mean, what kind of weirdo writes a featured article about some obscure geometer from the nineteenth century, for instance?) Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 01:44, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I can't think of anything to say. Sad, I know. You'd set yourself up and everything. --Kakofonous (talk) 01:53, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I think Kako stole my good call there. giggy _(:O) 06:36, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

What? Are you questioning the value of a featured article on a computer game?! Just last night as i was contemplating suicide i saw the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare article and thought wait there's more to life than real life! I can be a wikipedia gamer!(!!) I read about the proposed idea to include airstrikes in the game that was removed early in development and shed a tear. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 11:28, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Augh, not another talk page stalked! :o And, erm, DHMO and Kako, what are you talking about? I have no idea. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 17:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

"I mean, what kind of weirdo writes a featured article about some obscure geometer from the nineteenth century, for instance?" - There was a joke there, but I'm too nice a person to tell it. ;-) giggy _(:O) 23:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I created the week old section above this so it's technically talk page residency rather than stalking. GA review is still going nowhere so thought my snide comments would be the best use of the time. Will she allow tracing back to the original sources. Who knows?! Not me. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 18:41, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Giggy: Trust me, that joke was intentional. No one is that ironic on purpose. Sillyfolkboy, GA reviews take... forever. One of mine took almost two months to get reviewed - that's the main reason I quit GA and decided to start taking articles directly to FAC. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 18:06, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Hugh Grant article

Hey therez one link in this article No. 113. The wiki article's reference is in the second page of the link whereas the first page is linked ( I hope you are getting me)... here is the link... I thought I would do that myself but it was so complicated to my tyro brain that I didn't dare. Here is the actual link: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/article390824.ece?token=null&offset=12. Hope you can correct that. Thanks. Sid Elncid (talk) 07:31, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Kick ass work on Aphex Twin refs =

Outstanding :-) Chocolate Orange (talk) 15:24, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

It'll be better when I'm done, but thanks! --Kakofonous (talk) 15:26, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

...and done. --Kakofonous (talk) 15:44, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Thriller

Ive just put the Thriller album up for its third peer review since its FA failer. I would love to know your ideas, hopefully I can renominate it for FA soon. — Realist² (Come Speak To Me) 17:19, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Beginning my read-through now; comments should come fairly soon. --Kakofonous (talk) 17:20, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, why thankyou for responding so quickly. Much appreciated. — Realist² (Come Speak To Me) 17:22, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Left my comments at the PR; hope they help! --Kakofonous (talk) 17:56, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Cheers, I think ive finished your points based on my understanding on how the "virus" thing works etc. If you see anything else please dont hesitate to moan about it :-). Ive got to pluck up the courage to go for FA again soon. Im still battered from the last set of visits lol. — Realist² (Come Speak To Me) 21:03, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

FA-Team Mission 4

Mission 4, a series of articles on the Everglades, could do with help from the FA-Team! Thanks! Awadewit (talk) 13:02, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for The Original Barnstar re the writing on the Angus Lewis Macdonald entry. It means a lot to me. Thanks again. Bwark (talk) 20:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem. You deserve it. --Kakofonous (talk) 01:55, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Meshuggah2

Hi. You said that some work needs to be done on Meshuggah's prose. I can't really write it better because I am not a native speaker. Do you think you have some time to fix some of the prose in the article please? Thanks for an answer...--  LYKANTROP  15:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I've done another copy edit run, but it's quite possible I've missed some issues. I would suggest contacting someone listed here for more assistance. --Kakofonous (talk) 19:19, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I thank you so much for that. ...I will request for some peer review later. The misunderstanding "guitar, drum and metal mags" was just my ridiculous error. Thanks again. --  LYKANTROP  22:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) --Kakofonous (talk) 22:43, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Wow, your quite a psychic. ;) I will get that review underway right now, I'll notify you and Lykantrop when the GA review is done. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 18:51, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

You are quite welcome. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 18:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:09, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Will be back soon to work on the prose and other issues. --Kakofonous (talk) 22:12, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I've fixed some things, but I need your assistance. See Talk:Meshuggah/GA1 please. Thanks!--  LYKANTROP  23:08, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I think I've got the remaining issues. ThinkBlue, am I right, or is there stuff that still needs work? --Kakofonous (talk) 23:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Nobuo Uematsu GAN

Hi. Thanks for reviewing Nobuo Uematsu. I think I have addressed your comments. The Prince (talk) 18:43, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Passed. --Kakofonous (talk) 19:19, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

DYK

On 20 June, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Esperanza Spalding, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Yo, check watchlist. ;-) ;-) Night! giggy _(:O) 14:46, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Tom Ze cite

Howdy. I was wondering why in this edit you deleted the whole citation, instead of just unlinking it (removing the http-url)? (Although I haven't read the paper, and the abstract doesn't make it sound enticing...) Is the dead-tree edition not still a valid "Further reading" or "Reference" pointer? I'm probably missing something obvious! Thanks :) -- Quiddity (talk) 00:12, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

That was a rather clueless edit on my part—not sure exactly why I did it. It is most definitely still valid, but I guess that didn't occur to me. Leaving it there is the best thing to do; I'm glad someone who didn't have a brain lapse put it back in. Sorry for the mistake. --Kakofonous (talk) 00:16, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem at all :) To err is divine! -- Quiddity (talk) 00:51, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Indeed :) --Kakofonous (talk) 00:55, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Gilly!

When are you going to renominate Gilberto Gil at FAC? I think I copyedited it some two months ago - if you don't be careful, I might take Yomangan's advice. ;) Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 00:43, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, I still haven't resolved Jbmurray (talk · contribs)'s concerns (see Talk:Gilberto Gil) about coverage and comprehensiveness and all that jazz…should probably work on that. Acer (talk · contribs), who was going to give me some info from Portuguese-language sources, seems to have gone on wikibreak, so I'm not really sure how to proceed on that front. I'll keep you posted (actually, if you're stalking my talkpage, and possibly my contribs as well, you rogue, I might not even have to keep you posted, you'll just know), so anyway… --Kakofonous (talk) 03:40, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Gah, I missed this! (either that or I'm trying to lull you into a false sense of security that I'm no longer stalking your talk page...) I'll be waiting at FAC. Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 19:43, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

THRILLER

Hi I saw you edit it, were you planning on doing a lot of work? I was about to dig into a lot of site formatting (like I had just finished on the MJ article), however if you want to work on it Ill leave you to it? — Realist² (Who's Bad?) 01:56, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Nope, just adding some relevant links. That's all I was planning to do; you might want to check that there aren't other articles to link to in that section that haven't been already as part of your cleanup run. --Kakofonous (talk) 01:59, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Good, plan, cheers. I think the MJ article is ready soon aswell but Im going with Thriller first lol. — Realist² (Who's Bad?) 02:03, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Some help, please!

Hi. I am working on a series of lists about the Billboard Top Latin Albums and i've submit a list for the Number-one latin albums of 1993 (U.S.) and in the peer review the told to me to seek for help regarding the lead section. Could you help me with this?. Thank you so much. I'm just learning how to make a great list to write the rest of them (1994-2008).

Jaespinoza

I made some fixes to the list and commented at the PR. --Kakofonous (talk) 19:31, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Good Article question

I have lately worked on Control (2007 film) to upgrade it to a "Good Article", can you take a look and see if there are any parts still need revision/improvement before being nominated. Thanks! I asked here because you are listed as a mentor on the nomination page. Chimeric Glider (talk) 01:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I made some changes on the article and put some comments on the talk page. --Kakofonous (talk) 19:31, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the help, Kakofonous. I will do as it says and try best to make it into a genuine GA. Cheers! Chimeric Glider (talk) 20:02, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Gilberto Gil

I'm under lots of pressure to review nominations alone, and find it hard to keep up. If you're unsure about the prose, best to ask someone else.

• "left-wing President"—will anyone see that as a bit POV? It's a rather blanket epithet. What does it mean nowadays, anyway?
• "eventually beginning to write"—first two words tugging at each other.
• Are you sure the decade link is useful to the reader? (I haven't looked at it.)
• "the two of them spent time in jail"—"jailed them for ?three years before forcing them out of ..."
• Is Bahia in Brazil? They shouldn't have to hit the link to find out.
• "working as an advocate for environmental issues and in politics"—"working as an environmetal advocate and in politics" or "working as an environmetal and political advocate".

That's the lead. I think you need to bring in fresh eyes to go through the whole article. It's not in bad shape, but needs cleaning up. Tony (talk) 12:24, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for this. --Kakofonous (talk) 13:51, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the compliment - I really appreciate it! You do good work around here as well - I admit I'm pretty surprised to learn that you're only 14. ;) Nousernamesleft (talk) 17:50, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. --Kakofonous (talk) 17:53, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Chuck most wanted

Hi could you think about blocking this user as the account is being solely used for vandalism. (contribs) Thanks. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 18:13, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

The talk page stalker (that's me, by the way) has just blocked his first user! It wasn't quite as amazing an experience as he thought, though. Nousernamesleft (talk) 18:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

<joke>Taking blocks from others is never amazing, NUL. I hope you know that.</joke> --Kakofonous (talk) 18:48, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I thought your self block was the first, NUL? giggy _(:O) 12:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, first block of another user. Nousernamesleft (talk) 18:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Qin

Hey Kako, could you take a look at the lead of this article and tell me what you think? Thanks. Nousernamesleft (talk) 20:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. About the adviser/advisor thing: The article is in British English, so I put advisor instead of adviser. Everything else is fine; I decided to capitalise "City". Nousernamesleft (talk) 22:14, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I thought I changed "adviser" to "advisor" the first time; didn't I? (Oh, and sorry for not responding here more directly—Internet connection is quite erratic.) --Kakofonous (talk) 22:50, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Oops, I meant the British English one is "adviser". Sorry for the confusion. (head-desk) Nousernamesleft (talk) 23:28, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Michael Jackson peer review

I noticed your were listed as a volunteer for per reviews. MJ is currently on PR and I would appreciate any advise you give. I plan to take it to FA soon. Also Thriller is at FA review, fingers crossed. — Realist² (Who's Bad?) 23:45, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I see your back :-) MJ is now at FA, I know you have done some work on it before so thought you might want to take a look, possibly help clean up some MoS issues. The use of numbers really needs better consistency between being written out or not. Well, if you can spare any time helping drag this article through FA it would be appreciated. I know you try to avoid such hi profile articles though. — Realist² (Speak) 23:39, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU, Status, and you!

As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

More help, please!

Thank you so much for your help on my list for the Number-one Latin albums of 1993. I recently did the list for the Number-one Latin Albums of 1999 (U.S.) and on the peer review they asked me to search for help about the lead section (just like before, on the list of 1993). Can you help me with that?.

Once again.. thanks. Jaespinoza (talk) 18:18, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

I probably will not be able to help with this as I am leaving Internet access for a while, but will try to assist when I return. --Kakofonous (talk) 21:18, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Jena Six

Hey, I know it has been a while since you've done much with Jena Six. I've kept it updated, and worked on it, and I've gotten it promoted to GA. I'd like to see this become a FA, so when you are back from your break, I was wondering if you would colloborate with me on it. I'm the only active editor left, and doing it by myself would be difficult.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I'd love to help, though I'm not sure what I'd be able to do. I'm not especially knowledgeable about the case; all I did for the article a while back was format the citations, some MOS work, and a bit of copy editing. However, I don't think I'd be very helpful in terms of content. Please give me some suggestions/instructions on how I can work productively towards its FA status. --Kakofonous (talk) 12:38, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I took a look, and it seems to me that copyediting is far from done - I can spot prose problems in pretty much every paragraph. There's plenty to do. Nousernamesleft (talk) 18:20, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I think prose and organization are the big problems. I think the refs are there. I think the partisans have moved on, so that won't be an issue. I hope you both could help out on this.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:59, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I've done some work on the article, implementing the recommendations of the GA and have asked for a peer review. I'd be grateful for a good copyedit. I tend to fall in love with my own prose and fail to see the mistakes therein.--Wehwalt (talk) 20:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I would, but I'm rather busy. Plus, I've never had the patience to copyedit through a whole article of that length; I would quickly tire of it and go wander off to read a random article or something similar. Nousernamesleft (talk) 23:35, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm also sorry for neglecting my duties; I'm off for the weekend, but when I get back I will attempt to due an article-wide copy edit and formatting sweep. --Kakofonous (talk) 09:14, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I've cut the article back almost ten percent by deleting matters which have kinda died on the vine.--Wehwalt (talk) 09:29, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Did you see the peer review left for the article? Can you help me out on the citations, which I'm not good at, and I'll work on the text and also help out on the citations where I can.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Your old buddy from Jazz drumming

Hey there, do you remember me?

I helped you with a peer review of Jazz drumming. I saw your signature at the peer review volunteers page. Could you do a peer edit on Ximena Sariñana? She's a jazz/alternative/pop/rock Latina singer, so you may or may not know of her. You can view the peer review request at Wikipedia:Peer review/Ximena Sariñana/archive1. Thanks! – Obento Musubi (C • G • S) 07:24, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Ping?

Hey, is there any particular reason why you've been inactive recently? (And will Gilberto Gil ever get back to FAC?) Jena Six is a FA now, by the way. Nousernamesleft (talk) 22:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

No Jacket Required

Hello there! I've never really nominated an article for Peer Review before, so bear with me. I have just recently nominated the article, No Jacket Required for Peer Review. I was a major force in turning it into the bare bones article it once was, to the Good Article that it is at the time of this message. I would love to improve it and make it a Featured Article, but I stink at these kinds of things, and usually go in a totally wrong direction! I looked at the Peer Review volunteer's page, and thought that you'd be a great person to look the article over, and see if any improvements are necessary. The link to the peer review is here. I would appreciate any sort of input, but if you are too busy, I certainly understand. Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you at the peer review! CarpetCrawler (talk) 01:24, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Peer Review Request

Hey there, I don't know if you remember me. I reviewed Jazz drumming for you a while back. Could you do me a favor, please? I put up Mediocre (album) to be peer reviewed, and I thought you might want to. If you're interested, you can leave a message at my talk page and review whenever you want. Thanks! – Obento Musubi (C • G • S) 09:37, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi!

Hi, I recently saw your user name in thr list of Peer review/volunteers, and was wondering if you could, please review this article about a Spanish power metal band, where I've been working for a long time. Remember, you don't need to help me if you don't feel like it, this is an invitation thaat I hope you'd find interesting. Thanks!  Rockk3r Spit it Out! 21:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I got a message from you saying that I vandalized a page when I didn't. I'm not sure what happened but I think someone hacked into my computer and did it but I promise you I did not vandalize anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.250.76.225 (talk) 17:48, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Peer review request

Hello, Kakofonous. I am currently working on two pages that I hope can reach FAC or FLC status, and I was wondering if you might have a few minutes to offer a peer review. I'd apprectiate your time and advice, and I see you have an interest in music. I am not sure if you are familiar with Rufus Wainwright or not, but if you are interested I'd be happy to hear any advice or feedback you may have. I am currently working on Rufus Wainwright discography and List of awards and nominations received by Rufus Wainwright. Thanks so much! Whataworld06 (talk) 21:01, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:HotSex.ogg)

Thanks for uploading Image:HotSex.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 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:12, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks and a request

Thanks for signing up at Wikipedia:Peer review/volunteers and for your work doing reviews. It is now just over a year since the last peer review was archived with no repsonse after 14 (or more) days, something we all can be proud of. There is a new Peer review user box to track the backlog (peer reviews at least 4 days old with no substantial response), which can be found here. To include it on your user or talk page, please add {{Wikipedia:Peer review/PRbox}} . Thanks again, and keep up the good work, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:02, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Can you please help?

Hello Kakofonous,

Can you please help me with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC_Funky_J ?

I started the page and after all the hard work somebody is trying to tear it down. I seen that you are a Hip Hop fan as well and hope you will be able to assist in this matter.

Thanks,

A-class review request

Hey Kakofonous, I was wondering if you could review the Spokane, Washington article in an ACR. After you read the article, I believe all you need to do is apply the A-Class criteria to the article and put whether you believe it is worthy of being A-class in the section dealing with the review in the articles Talk page. Also, in addition to doing the assessment, it would be helpful if you could include some points for improvement. If you are up to review it, notify me on my Talk. Thanks!

GA Sweeps invitation

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!
