Reasonable Doubt

How's it going? Name's Wuthai and I'm a contrib to rap articles. The only thing is that I'm not good with tracklisting boxes. I saw what you did with the Illmatic article and I applaud your help. I wanted to add the time duration to the Reasonable Doubt article but I keep messing it up. I wanted to know if you could help at all? Wuthai 17:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your '''Bold text''' edit to The Color of Money

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. I think that was just a mistake of some kind, like paste error. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 15:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sincerest apologies, I must've hit the bold button by accident. I in no way meant to vandalize or experiment with the article.--NPswimdude500 22:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kinda what I guessed, which is why I used Test1 (the mildest) and commented WP:AGF-wise that I figured it was probably just a slip-up, not an intentional goofing. :-)

Albums

Please stop adding album cover images to the chronology sections of album infoboxes. According to Fair Use Law there is no jurisdiction for using them as album cover usage is only permitted in articles that have critical commentary. Thank you for your cooperation.--NPswimdude500 05:20, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Were you talking only about Common albums or all albums? - User:wikiwonka12 Feb 5, 2007

All albums--NPswimdude500 21:19, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank U

Thanks buddy for your advice here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Food_%26_Liquor#Pro_Reviews, I thought that 5 stars scale would look better but you've got a point in keeping it as the original source. Much appreciate your work.

Cheers, SZayat

Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 21:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lauryn Hill

Tues 20 Feb: Change to Lauryn Hill tables

Y did u change the table in the LH Discogrpaphy section? The differences I see is that the 1st 1 is darker than the 1 u changed it 2.written by208.58.196.156 10:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, for one, if you read the edit history you would see that I not only modified the table to match almost every other table of its kind, but I also replaced the {{subst:Tablabonita}} template, which has become outdated (replaced by wikitable). I also formatted the section headings to make the article more visually appealing.--NPswimdude500 00:01, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1st: I dont apprecaite you unneccessary rudeness. I did read the edit history.When you made the change you DID NOT say/explain that you were changing it bc the 1st table type that was there was.has been eliminated by wiki. Check back & you'll see that it only says edit discography with no reason given.

2nd: visually appealing to who? you?written by 208.58.196.156 12:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not appreciate the fact that you reverted my edits. My edits are founded, according to policy and style guidelines. If you revert them again, I will pursue mediation, or arbitration. This is not a threat, it is a cautionary warning.--NPswimdude500 22:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I too did not appreciaite your reverting my edits. I felt my edits were justified.written by 208.58.196.156 13:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

LH section headings:1= or 2= or 3= ?

I do not perceive you to be an inexperienced Wikipedia editor, so I'll humor you. According to Help:Section, one equals sign is not to be used when creating headings. So no, not visually appealing to me, but rather an official Wikipedia policy. The Manual of Style states that A) "Articles should use the same spelling system and grammatical conventions throughout." and that B) "If there is a strong tie to a specific region/dialect, use that dialect." Since Lauryn Hill is from the US, and the majority of the language in the article is in US English, it only makes sense that any instances of British English be changed to their US English counterpart.

Insults aside. When is 1 = appropriate? I put them in to differentiate & make the sections easier to see. I think the section titles should stand out, like in an outline or the titles of a chapter of a book. Whe is 1= appropriate to use?written by 208.58.196.156 13:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

W 28 Feb 7 Heading =s

So far I have tried my very best to be patient with you. And I really haven't been rude at all. First you criticized and reverted my edits even after I explained why I changed the article. Furthermore, I provided you with a direct link to a page which explains how many equals signs should be used in section headings. I'm not going to explain it to you. I called you an unexperienced editor, which I still believe to be true. If you were experienced, you would not be so quick to revert my edits, and you would read the links I provide you with before coming to my talk page asking me to explain them to you. Whether you like it or not, everything I have said so far is true.--NPswimdude500 21:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

W28Feb7@14:20pmest. You were rude to me. This is what u wrote:Well, for one, if you read the edit history you would see that I not only modified the table to match almost every other table of its kind...'. This is rude. I was not aware that the class="wikitable" template tables u deleted was phased out. I did read the Manual Style link u provided but it is a very lengthy guide. You were quick to revert my edits, but you call me wrong. I posted on ur talk page bc after reading the Manual Style I still saw no reason y the section headings should not stand out. And no, not all that u've said so far is true.written by 208.58.196.156 19:20, 28 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

FYI, the bit about section headings isn't even in the Manual of Style. It's in the first link I gave you which reads Help:Section. Presumably you did not read that article. I find that curious because I clearly stated:

According to Help:Section, one equals sign is not to be used when creating headings.

This makes me wonder whether or not you're actually reading the comments I leave on your talk page. I reverted your edits because they were against policy. My edits were according to policy. There is a very clear difference. It is not just that your edits contradicted Wikipedia policies, but it's also the manner in which the revert was carried out. You reverted my edits purely because you were angry that you perceived my attitude to be one of rudeness. You made a brash and foolish decision in the heat of the moment without using any common sense.--NPswimdude500 21:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sat3Mar@ 8:45am I hate how you presume to know why I made the change. If I didnt say it before or make it clear enough, here it is: I was not angry, I reverted bc the edits weren't good. I pointed out your rudeness AFTER we began posting on 1 another's talk pages; which wasAFTER the edit was reverted. I had no way to know whether or not you are/were rude just based off an edit. And again with the rude comments. You dnt know me but are hurling insults. That itself shows who is brash, foolish and lacking common sense.written by 208.58.196.156 13:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Honestly, I can't be bothered to waste any more time arguing with you. I don't know what you mean by "the edits weren't good" because as I already stated, my edits were according to policy. I stand by my statement that your reversion was a brash and foolish decision because it did nothing to improve the article and wasted more time in reverting it. I didn't say you're foolish, I only said that your decision was foolish (in fact, I'm the fool for wasting this much time arguing over a moot point). I hope that in the future you are more careful before you wantonly edit pages and revert other user's contributions. It does nothing in the way of contributing and only creates more work.--NPswimdude500 05:11, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I too stand by my comments. You made a change-fine. you asked/explained the change-fine. You hurl unneccessary insults NOT FINE. I dont wantonly edit pages and AGAIN you are wrong for hurling this accusation. All that I am saying is that for your future comments to others, your explanations and NICE notification os wiki style rules are greatly appreciated, however leave your insults out.written by 208.58.196.156 05:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Since you have contributed to it in the past, Your voice is needed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of diss songs (2nd nomination). TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 00:43, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As much value as I think the article has, I voted weak delete because it quite simply goes against policy and has no references.--NPswimdude500 01:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
