Promenade concert[edit]

Nice work on the new article. Have you any plans to work on The Proms article? I've been pondering doing some more radical work on it, but most of my sources are currently in storage (and will be until late May). It would be good to try and get it up to featured article status, perhaps in time for the first or last Prom this year. David Underdown 10:44, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. It has been an interesting topic and I've learned while researching it. I hadn't thought about editing The Proms article but would be happy to do so if it is not treading on anyone's toes. It could indeed do with some expanding and tidying. I'll give it some thought. Hikitsurisan 11:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So long as the article ends up better than it starts, and you keep to all Wikipedia policies, I don't really see how you can step on anyone's toes. That the whole point of this place (as I see it).

Good work on the Henry Wood and Robert Newman articles too by the way. Just one thing, although they are not hugely long, it might be worth putting a few section headings in. The table of contents that's then generated helps give a quick overview of what's in the article. David Underdown 11:40, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suriname River[edit]

Thanks for proofing. Yes, sounds much better now - sounded right when I was thinking in Dutch .Bridesmill 16:53, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Zeugma[edit]

Hi, The Macauley quote is nice but I wouldn't have classed it a Zeugma myself (I don't claim to be an expert in the area, so maybe I'm just plain wrong here). It looks to me that dropping is being used in the same way in both parts of the sentence. Dlyons493 Talk 19:10, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Definitions seem to differ quite widely and I think the article both reflects that and suffers from it a little. What would be useful maybe would be to list the various definitions and, for each quote, note under which defintions(s) it woul/would not be Zeugma. I might take a stab at that sometime. Dlyons493 Talk 23:42, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Working on an update for zeugma[edit]

I have been spending the last few weeks researching the zeugma for the purpose of expanding the article. I was first introduced to the term while reading Tacitus in my 5th semester of Latin. It came up again while reading Cicero, Livy and Ovid. The article as it stands now makes no mention of the specific kinds of zeugma mentioned in Quintillian and Rhetorica ad Herennium such as the prozeugma and hypozeuxis. I am assembling the material and would welcome a critical critique in the name of accuracy. I have also recently expanded chiasmus and have my eye on tricolon and isocolon. Let me know what you think! Regards, --Ben Trent 19:11, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bertramka[edit]

Hi Hikitsurisan~enwiki. You are off to such a great start on the article Bertramka that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and 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. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- JayHenry 20:11, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On July 30, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bertramka, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

The Proms[edit]

would have been nice to have some discussion before moving the article. They've only been know formally as the BBC Proms for less than 20 years, and common usage (which is one of the main determinants for naming in Wikipedia) is still pretty split. When you move a page you should also check for any double-redirects (a bot has tidied up after you), and the lead could do with re-wording if the article is going to stay at its current location. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by David Underdown (talk • contribs) 09:29, August 20, 2007 (UTC).

I've now actually moved it back. I was finding more and more double-redirects which hadn't been fixed, so the simplest way to sort things out was to move tha article back to its original location - there were so many incoming links to the original title it was very hard to navigate through the list. See my comments on the article talkpage for more reasoning as to why The Proms is a better title anyway. David Underdown 14:57, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Evelyn Barbirolli[edit]

A tag has been placed on Evelyn Barbirolli requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Request to move article Bedford High School (England) incomplete[edit]

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Bedford High School (England) to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:

Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
Added {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved, to automatically create a discussion section there.
Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.

If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR (talk) 18:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Three Choirs festival[edit]

Hi Hikitsurisan~enwiki! An article you have been involved with has been tagged by its parent project as needing either a little attention to style, updating, or further development.

Henry J. Wood[edit]

Hello, Hikitsurisan. I am working (backstage at the moment) on the Henry Wood article, and I see that back in 2006, among your additions was a quote from Agnes Nichols about the first night of the first Proms season. I wonder if at this long distance in time you can lay hands on a citation for it? It is an excellent quote and it would be a pity to lose it for lack of a ref. Regards Tim riley (talk) 12:30, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Later – I have expanded the article and put it up for peer review. Any contributions there would be gratefully received. Tim riley (talk) 20:10, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Wood[edit]

Thank you for your message. Please don't worry about the quote - and enjoy your entertaining! Tim riley (talk) 18:33, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article is now at FAC, and any comments from you would be most gratefully received. Tim riley (talk) 12:19, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of John Reading (composer)[edit]

The article John Reading (composer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable musician

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. OCNative (talk) 10:49, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited Radek Baborák, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Marti and Hermann Baumann (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:44, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Steinitz-Paul.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Steinitz-Paul.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:15, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Bertramka[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Bertramka requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://books.google.com/books?id=A9eD6XX7NjoC&lpg=PT161&ots=neZGmuCjFw&dq=it%20was%20purchased%20by%20Lambert%20Popelka%20who%20was%20a%20great%20admirer%20of%20Mozart&pg=PT161#v=onepage&q=it%20was%20purchased%20by%20Lambert%20Popelka%20who%20was%20a%20great%20admirer%20of%20Mozart&f=false. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your account will be renamed[edit]

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Hikitsurisan. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hikitsurisan~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
