Banks books[edit]

Thanks for your edits of some of the Iain Banks books. As the original and major editor of these, I think the preceding/following links add functionality to the articles. I would welcome discussion before any sweeping changes are made to them. I've reverted your changes meanwhile. Guinnog 18:17, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Point taken. I'm new to the book project and I guess I got a little carried away while ignoring my homework. Tartan 19:11, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Curious Oranj[edit]

Hmmm I don't know who you are but you're list of contributions makes me curious. Dresden Dolls vinyl and other Dark Cabaret and you live in Scotland... interesting. DjDrAkiraGonzo 20:06, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In Dumfries as a matter of fact. You know my brother (I remember seeing you in the hallway at least once) and I'm also a friend of Shians.Tartan 20:18, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What hallway? my hallway? arghh this is confusing please just tell me who you are...lol DjDrAkiraGonzo 20:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My hallway. I'm Laura, sister of the hobo Alex. You may have seen my tartan trousers running around at past band nights, but I haven't been for a while. Hope that makes you less confused.Tartan 20:25, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh of course, haha... amusing you call your brother hobo alex. Hmm I don't want to make you jealous but speaking of band nights and Dresden Dolls, i saw them in Edinburgh tonight. They were fantastic as you would expect, they're playing in Glasgow tomorrow night if you can make it. They also announced they will be returning to edinburgh in August, just so ya know ;o) DjDrAkiraGonzo 01:34, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to get tickets to Glasgow but they're sold out. I would have loved to go tonight to see them, but I've got tonnes of revision to do for school. Bah! I might get to go in August though! Tartan 15:03, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of songs about drugs[edit]

I award you the Minor Barnstar for your many punctuation, syntax, and readability fixes to List of songs about drugs. Keep up the good work! **Λυδ α cιτγ** 21:14, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry you spent so much time doing minor fixes on List of songs about drugs! Cacycle's editing tool will help immensely with this stuff. You have wasted a lot of your time; however, it's the effort that counts. With that in mind:

So you don't have Firefox... I would recommend getting it. It's amazingly clean and intuitive, but still easy to customize it. I've used IE and a browser from my DSL company, and Firefox is much better. It also lets you import all your old settings - at least from IE.

If you don't want to spend the time changing browsers, do you have Word? Λυδ α cιτγ 21:24, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do have Word, and I realised near the end of my editing that I could have probably just copied everything to it (or notepad even) and click the find and replace button. That would definately save time, but I'd likely have to do some things by hand. I mainly asked for help because it's my last week of school before the summer holidays and I'm not sure exactly how much time I'm going to get on here over the next few weeks. *strokes the pretty Barnstar* Thank you very much. :) Tartan 16:39, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

3rr[edit]

Just to give you a hint, I can change my IP address as and when I desire, but if you continue to edit this section: "== Controversy == - In March 2006, the show came under fire for reportedly forcing a child participating on the show to digest his own faeces1, in an attempt to change his 'fast-food lifestyle'. Both Gillian McKeith and Channel 4, who air the show, were subsequently reported to the NSPCC and investigated for child abuse. However, on March 28th 2006, it emerged that both parties were cleared of any wrongdoing. Two days later, Gillian admitted to eating human excrement herself because of its supposed high levels of nutrients2. " then you will be going against the 3RR rule of Wikipedia. Please do not remove the sections without a good reason, I find it most irritating when do-gooders have the nerve to interfere but never say why. 88.109.223.182 14:38, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional -> Fictitious[edit]

I don't mind explaining why the title was changed, but did you look at the edit summary? I already explained it there, though I'll go into more detail if it wasn't clear enough.

Most plays are works of fiction, so naming it List of fictional plays is ambiguous and means that any fictional play might be included. That means with your previous title List of fictional plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream might be added to the list, along with the rest of Shakespeare's plays. It could also be confusing to a Wikipedia user, and avoiding ambiguity is always a good idea.

It's for exactly this reason that List of fictitious films is so named, although these lists are possibly the only exceptions. These reasons generally do not apply to other articles, such as List of fictional islands, because islands are not works of fiction, so no distinction needs to be made. Croxley 02:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If I may butt in to offer a third opinion, I agree with Croxley on this issue. You cite books, musical works, and newspapers as things that are properly described as "fictional". In general, musical works and newspapers would be classified as "non-fiction", so a "made up" example would simply be fictional (although I think fictitious would also be correct). In the case of books, the adjective is used to separate it from non-fiction books. However a non-existent book could be considered "fictitious" even if the title made it appear as non-fiction: The Seven Habits of Marginally Effective People. In the case of films (and plays) we are making the distinction between fiction (non-factual) and fictitious (made up). Death of a Salesman is fictional, but it is real in the sense that it is published and performed. La Cocina is fictitious since George Costanza made it up completely to bolster his claims of writing experience. Perhaps fictitious could be changed to non-existent? Hoof Hearted 20:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-existant would be too wide. I could make up a title here and now and it would be a non-existant film. I'm not arguing that the title itself is wrong, more that the move without discussion was. I don't see why the fictional books list wouldn't be just the same as film and plays and I don't understand your argument (confused with a cold at the moment). The problem with newspapers and musical works, and a whole lot of other items such as List of fictional online services, is that changing one or two from the list of fictional things throws it out of convention. By all means, if you want to change more of the lists as for fictitious objects if you like, but I think chaning one out of the blue is a bit odd. Tartan 20:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:A_radical_recital.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:A_radical_recital.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.
