Aquacadets[edit]

Hey, I'm a big fan of the Aquabats as well and wanted to join the aquacadets but cant seem to find a site or anything for them to sign up. If you know of how to do it will you please let me know? Asatruar (talk) 17:44, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Pansy Division[edit]

Yes, you're right, Pansy Division could use a more cohesive and better-referenced bio... it seems like a lot of times the music articles aren't up to the standards of other articles in terms of references, etc., and there is a tendency for people to tack on trivia, etc.--Larrybob (talk) 18:22, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Computer Bites![edit]

Since Computer Bites! is not blatant vandalism, it cannot be speedy deleted. I agree that it is a hoax, so I have brought it to WP:AFD. If you would like to participate in the AfD discussion, feel free to comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Computer Bites!. Nice job for catching this hoax! Cheers, Cunard (talk) 18:53, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Never mind. Ged UK (talk · contribs) has closed the AfD as speedy delete. Cunard (talk) 19:29, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer[edit]

Wikipedia Reviewer.svg

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:02, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Jason Moss- which school?[edit]

You added Jason Moss to two Oregon high schools. Did he attend both? Can you add a cite (to a source) to each indicating he attended those schools? tedder (talk) 01:15, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

  • Which two is he listed on? My reference mentions only South Eugene HS and thus is the only one he should be listed on. Any other is mistake.Skibz777 (talk) 01:31, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
Oh, I guess I saw your two edits to the same page and thought they were different pages. Yeah, you've only listed it once. Can you include your reference/cite? We try to include cites on all school attendances. Yes, there are many missing, but it's easier to do when they are added. tedder (talk) 01:39, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Autopatrolled[edit]

Wikipedia Autopatrolled.svg

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:

  • This permission does not give you any special status or authority
  • Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
  • You may wish to display the {{Autopatrolled}} top icon and/or the {{User wikipedia/autopatrolled}} userbox on your user page
  • If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it
If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing! Acalamari 18:54, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for sourcing Lloyd Knibb[edit]

I was looking all around for a source a few hours ago and couldn't find one, at least nothing worthy of Wikipedia. I came back online just now to see if there might be one somewhere now. I am glad to see you have found one though I am still saddened by the news of the death of one of ska's founding members. I am thankful I've had the luxury of seeing the Skatalites a few times following the 90s ska revival.

Also, I didn't know if there was a way to send messages so I thought I'd just uselessly fill up your talk page like so. Feel free to delete this section. ;)

Cherry Poppin' Daddies[edit]

I hardly ever look at that article though it's on my watchlist, but I see your username pop up a lot. Well, I finally read the article for the first time in ages tonight, and I have to assume that it is so excellent because of all your hard work. So congratulations! Having been around Eugene for the early days of the band (I could supply all kinds of original research), and noting that band articles on Wikipedia generally suck, I have to say that this is a hell of a good article! I totally support you trying to get it to FA. I wish I still had a cassette player because I would play my 4 From on High cassette in tribute. I have a friend who at one time had every CPD poster from a certain era. Let me find out if she still has them. A scan of one of those might make a nice addition to the article. If you decide to try for FA, let me know. Cheers! Valfontis (talk) 02:17, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! It's surprising what can result from just pecking away at an article for so long. I appreciate the offer of help; the only thing I think I really need outside of proofreading are more illustrative pictures from the earlier days of the band. Let me know if any of those posters get scanned, I'd love to see them. :) Skibz777 (talk) 00:09, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, just noticed your reply. I'll ask around about pics, too. My friend just moved and is busy, but I'll see if the posters still exist. Cheers, Valfontis (talk) 14:54, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Eyes on The Aquabats[edit]

Hey Skibz, not sure if you've noticed the recent edit-warring at The Aquabats but thought I'd bring it to your attention. I'm going out of town for the weekend and will be off-wiki, so it'd sure help if you'd keep an eye on the article. I started an ANI thread about it at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#The Aquabats if you want to read a little more about it. --IllaZilla (talk) 04:37, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

The edit-warring account was blocked and the article has been semi-protected until the 7th, but he threatened to sockpuppet and get his "friends" to help, so keep an eye out. --IllaZilla (talk) 04:57, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Sure, I'll keep a watchful eye. Skibz777 (talk) 05:23, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:MrScarface.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:MrScarface.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:30, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

File:RadioactiveChickenHeadsShow.jpg[edit]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:17, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:DeedlesSoundtrack.jpg[edit]

Notice

The file File:DeedlesSoundtrack.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Meet the Deedles#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:26, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
