Cover[edit]

Hi Ben. Let me ask you this. Answer me clearly please, directly to the point. Please describe what significant information we gather from including that second photo? As for Carey, yes she's my favorite artist by far. Yes, well, she is working on her comeback, which includes getting her famous body back, so I have my fingers crossed :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 01:22, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia. I am Jivesh. Something about your user name intrigues me. Is it inspired by "I Was Here (song)"? ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 09:29, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. Sorry for not being able to talk to you. I am quite busy till November 24, 2011. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 03:47, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for wishing me luck. I really need it. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 14:01, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor (or the manager of Beyonce. Lol.) ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 14:05, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it practically impossible. Lol. I will stick to being a doctor. Take care. See you later. I love the nice little chat. I really needed to talk to someone. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 14:12, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I love that serial. And those ladies are so electrifying with their red lipstick. Muahhhhh.(for the ladies, not you) Lol. Bye. See you later. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 14:21, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Brexx[edit]

Brexx was blocked for constant copyright violations, something which he still doesn't seem to understand. He does not understand the difference between reliable sources and fan sites, and has never learned how to discuss disputes without edit warring. He was originally blocked in early 2008, and banned in early 2009. "Banned" means that no single admin can unblock him: it would require a community discussion and consensus to decide to unblock him. Since he shows no sign of ever becoming a good editor, that will never happen. That means that every edit he makes will be undone, and every new account he makes will be blocked. Sometimes an account will slip past us for a while, but I'm confident that we eventually catch up with all of them.—Kww(talk) 15:25, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Thank you so much. There is no better way to start my day. I was sincerely not expecting this. When you asked about that on Penguin's page, i never thought it was for me. Thank you wholeheartedly. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 22:36, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AM here. Thanks again. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 22:43, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It might be too long. You're only allowed a certain amount of characters. I remember I tried doing one and it was too long. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 14:31, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ben (This is Calvin), it does work, look: Ben•TalkThatTalk2me 14:33, 25 November 2011 (UTC) You are doing something wrong. If you want, I'll give you my email address so you can give me your log in name and password and I'll do it for you, then you can change you password afterwards.[reply]

BenWasHere (talk) 14:36, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that's fine. If must be something you are doing, because I put that code into mine and it as above, it works. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 14:38, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed my email, so you will have to look at the last revision to see it :). I don't want it for all to see. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 14:39, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wait until sunday, I'll do it for you. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 15:33, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just email me now and let me do it! It's driving me crazy! haha Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 18:32, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

hahahahaha lol. :) I can't yet. my old signature will have to do until Sunday lol. but I'm about to leave a message on your talk page in a few minutes. BenWasHere (talk) 18:39, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Ben. Calvin's sig code is fine; I just tested it (I don't like the yellow, particulary, but that's a different matter). What you need to check (heh) is that the Treat the above as wiki markup checkbox right under the signature field has a checkmark in it. Then paste Calvin's original code in the sig field, save, and sign away. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 19:44, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We know it works John. I've even put the code into my own account, saved and tested it. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 19:48, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

it's worth a try... Ben•TalkThatTalk2me 20:11, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

it works!!!! thank you calvin and john! u guys rock! Ben•TalkThatTalk2me 20:11, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ben•TalkThatTalk2me 20:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! Finally! haha. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 20:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your remark confuses me. If you "know it works", why did you say "it might be too long"? — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 21:28, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because I tried a signature once and it was too long, it wouldn't save. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 21:35, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA help[edit]

Hi Ben. Yeah, I know that you want to start your GA. Well I will help you, sure why not :)! The first and the most important things of course is the criteria which lets you to nominate a GA. Information about that you could find here Wikipedia:Good articles and Wikipedia:Good article criteria. By criteria I mean, you should have your prose on good level, the article should be comprehensive (especially if it's new and has a lot of coverage) and the references should be well formatted. I think I am good at references mostly, I could help you there. Second, when you are finished with writing the article you should nominate it. Wikipedia:Good article nominations has some steps that will help you nominate it. It's not hard you will see :). And lastly, you should wait for a user-reviewer to come and review the article. That's all... I think you understood me. If there are some other questions, feel free to ask me. Greetings — Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 12:24, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just for curiosity, on which article do you plan to work? — Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 17:23, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well ... Calvin and me worked on Loud and we nominated it for GA twice, and twice was failed. However, the article is near to a GA status, so there is not much to work on it. — Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 00:58, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Purpose of Wikipedia[edit]

Hi Ben, and welcome to Wikipedia. I've seen your comments on a few talk pages and on articles' talk pages. Looking through your contribution list you have only edited an article 5 times out of your 301 edits (1.66%). Our main purpose is to build an encyclopedia and this is not a social communication site. Some interaction is allowed but please limit it, because as of current yours is way out of proportion. We have a rule called WP:NOTSOCIALNETWORK, although you haven't done anything very wrong, you cannot continue to use Wikipedia for social networking purposes. Please contribute to some articles and not use this site for social interaction; if you would like to talk with the editors please get their e-mail or other form of communication. Thank you. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 01:59, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You see now Ben. When I told you something nicely, you took it the wrong way. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 05:45, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jivesh, we were talking about Party (song) about whether it was a single or not. Please tell me HOW that is related to the Wiki not being a forum? i was trying to help the article, not have a friendly conversation. Ben•TalkThatTalk2me 12:04, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You seem not to read fill messages. I told you that we are not supposed to wish each other Merry Christmas on talk-pages. The + reason for which you got this notice is that you do not contribute significantly to articles. You mostly talk to other people on Wikipedia. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 12:18, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I read it, and replied. I don't need to hear this from you. I start by talking about if a song is a single or not, and you turn it into a fight. Ben•TalkThatTalk2me 21:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And for your information, i will start working on DTSM for a GA in mid-January. Ben•TalkThatTalk2me 21:50, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not turn anything into a fight. You better not adopt this attitude with me. If I am very good, I can be equally unpleasant. I don't work for you. You don't pay me. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 05:13, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not trying to have an attitude. I am just saying that we were talking about a song, and now here we are, having this conversation. And who says anything about working for you? You seem to read things i write in a different way they are supposed to mean. Ben•TalkThatTalk2me 11:55, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And you do exactly the same. That's all I have to add. I have things to do here. I don't have more time to do blabla. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 07:06, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think ...[edit]

on this? :P — Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 23:24, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was asking you how do you like it. I re-worked three sections. Satisfied?:) — Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 00:35, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On what do you like to work? Are you good at writing stories. You can write the video synopsis and also work on some section/s. — Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 00:39, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You mean to work on it in your sandbox first? — Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 00:44, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, don't worry. You are not, I like helping you. Just go here and create it. Then you can start editing it, like a normal wiki page. Work on it now and show me what have you done. Here is 2 am and I am going to sleep :). Easy work ;) !— Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 00:53, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ben, are you thinking to start any section on "Don't Stop the Music"? Currently, there are only two prose section left, Live performance and Impact. Are you going to work on them?— Tomica (talk) 19:33, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
