Well done. Great work. Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 07:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Glad you like the table. I never complain when people add value! (Especially when it saves me effort.) Thanks for the offer of help; feel free to fill in any gaps that take your fancy - especially the 2007 table when I've created it. I can't wait to start writing articles for the artists. Don't let me hold you up! Pdfpdf
if we have the date of death we don't need to say (deceased) - Agreed, but what about where we don't have the date of death? (Viz: Lloyd Hunter (deceased); Sylvester (Syl) Johnson (deceased).) Pdfpdf 14:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Freechild. You are off to such a great start on the article Student engagement that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. Appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee ( Talk) 02:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Again. I need you to work your magic (y'know - add categories, etc.) on Rev. Patrick Henderson - It's another one of those pages I started in May and forgot about! It has started attracting the attention of bots. Thanks. Pdfpdf 00:19, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
I specialize in finding the notability of obscure - but notable. Do you think Henderson is sufficiently notable? If not, what line-of-action do you suggest? Also, I can't find any biographical information; can you? Regards, Pdfpdf 03:25, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Me again. I'm rather uncomfortable with a number of the 2007 awards; they don't seem to have much, if anything, to do with the Black Music heritage (e.g. Gabrielle Union, Susan T Buffett.) Do you have an opinion? Pdfpdf 03:44, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Howdy. It's not in your field-of-interest, but ... Anita Baker did a cover of What a fool believes which, in my opinion, is the best version of the song I've heard. I managed to "acquire" a copy of the track itself fairly easily, but I can't find any information about it, or references to its origins - not even a date recorded. Could I impose upon you to have a quick look and see if you can find anything? Much obliged. Pdfpdf 13:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Good.
I do. (Or at least, I am under the impression that I do!!) Where did you find one/some?
Mmmm. I'm less adamant about that one. Let's just say "I'm under the impression that I generally do.", but examples of where I haven't are easier to find than I thought they would be. Guess I need to tighten up on that one.
Keep them coming; I always find them useful.
No. I can email it to you if you wish?
OK. Will do.
I assume that question is semi-rhetorical? I got a new computer yesterday, and haven't set everything up yet. I just checked my email. Yes, I did get your cc. Well, it's only just over 24 hours ago, and it looks to me like he answers his email in the morning, so there's a chance that you'll get something in the next hour or so. (BTW: I would have preferred that you'd editted out the personal comments; fortunately they weren't too offensive!)
Goodness me, it's 3am!!

Good heavens! You have been busy, haven't you. Where do you find the time?
I must admit I'm surprised you've had zero response, particularly from Vaughn. Given my experience of his impeccable manners, I would have expected at least a brief note acknowledging your email.
Maybe they are all still busy reading your contributions?

I reverted your edit to this article linking to fear of childbirth and fear of children because they seem irrelevant to the article. Then I started wondering if there's a reason you added those links that I have not thought of. What is the connection?

Hi Freechild, I reworded this from Foundation to private foundation, because it didn't make any sense at all, so I edited it to for sensicalness, only.
The following link, however, shows that it's a public charity, not a private foundation:
So, it appears that maybe the author meant foundation as a synonym for corporation. Fredsmith2 00:02, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

It's been a while since I've done any major article reworking, but after reading the Tulsa, Oklahoma article, it dawned on me that it probably wouldn't take *that* much work to rewrite the Omaha article so that it could get FA consideration. Take a look at the Tulsa article; it's a very applicable model for any future work on the Omaha article. – Swid ( talk · edits) 16:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't know that the child labor category really applies much to Lowell girls. The title of the article is a colloquial expression, referring to 16–25-year-old women. There were girls aged 10+ in the factories, but most of the article deals with adults. — Scartol · Talk 11:34, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
What a peculiar system!
An arbitrary person (
User:Ludahai, who's command of grammar is somewhat questionable) has come along to the
LA talk page and has changed "WikiProject Biography" into "WikiProject Biography|class=B|listas=Abrams, Lester", only leaving behind the edit comment "(assess, add listas)" as an explanation/justification.
Further, although before they came the talk page said: "Please rate the article and, if you wish, leave comments here regarding your assessment or the strengths and weaknesses of the article.", after they left the talk page no longer displays that link, and the link on the "before" page is still red, suggesting they haven't left any comment justification.
So, have I got this right? Anyone can come along and rate an article, and they don't have to explain/justify their rating?
If so, what a peculiar system.

The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

It would seem that Aretha has released two (quite different) covers of WAFB (talk)!! -- Pdfpdf 00:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Originally I found a sample of what I now call the non-1980 version. I didn't think much of it. Soon after (on Limewire) I found a version (wrongly) labelled "Anita Baker", which turns out to be the 1980 version. Now I can no longer locate the non-1980 version! However, there are stacks of references to the 1980 version:
So now I'm begining to wonder about the existence of the "other" version! Pdfpdf 07:16, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I can't take any credit; I didn't find anything. As it says on Talk:What a Fool Believes, it was Slithymatt who listened to the mp3 and identified it. The reason you didn't find anything anywhere is because you were looking for a song by Anita Baker - a song that she has never recorded! To compound my ineptitude, I now can't even find the original Aretha version that I started with 3 months ago! (But thanks for the kind words.) Pdfpdf 13:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I am not entirely sure which DYK nomination you are referring to, but I never intended to offend anyone. I think you are referring to Lincoln Highway - am I correct? Might you let me know what offended you so that I can avoid the mistake in the future? I am actually serious about wanting the Buffalo Bill Ranch page expanded - I used to live out there and the ranch is in interesting place. I thought it would make a good article.
