advise me about removing templates for categorization etc.

Politepunk 15:05, 26 February 2006 (UTC) I've edited the page at http://en.wikipedia.org/Sacrilege_%28band%29 - attampting to wikify, establish importance and add appropriate categories. Should I remove the templates from the page or wait for 'a grown-up' to do it?

update: I've "been bold" and done it ;-)

Looks ok to me, if someone disagrees they can always readd them, similarly if you aren't sure there generally isn't a problem leaving them...

warning vandals

Hello Politepunk!

Good job on reverting vandalism! If you don't mind, it would be extremely helpful if you could also warn vandals to stop vandalizing on their talk pages as outlined on WP:CUV. You can also, if you wish, use user scripts at WP:US in order to add tabs to the top of user talk pages that will automatically add the appropriate warnings for you. If this is too much work for you, of course, it isn't neccessary to do this, although it would be helpful. Have fun, Where 03:57, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

• I have been adding warnings to a significant proportion of the talk pages whose vandalism/edits I have reverted. I have in other cases looked at the pages and seen that either they are AOL users with a variable IP address or that they have already received many final warnings without any influence on thweir behaviour and that the current system of warning these people seems to be a waste of my time. I think that the succession of final warnings on many vandals' talk pages speak fairly eloquently for their effectivness in those cases. Politepunk 23:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Satie & pantomime

I'm going to revert the ] link in the Erik Satie article to ] now for the second time.

Have you any indication that the Satie composition *exclusively* referred to the UK/Ireland/Australia variant of pantomime? If so, please indicate. For example, if you'd have access to the Jules Dépaquit text, I'd be very happy to learn about it.

Afaik either mime (a silent performance by a mime artist) or the UK/Ireland/Australia variant might be intended. For what I know about Satie it will probably have the connotation of both. In a letter to his brother Conrad he sort of complained it was more clownerie than he wanted (4 July 1899), which certainly doesn't exclude the notion of a more continental understanding of the word "pantomime" either. So I think linking to the disambiguation page at pantomime is the best option for the time being, until more explicit references can be given.

What do you think? --Francis Schonken 09:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I think that I'll steer clear of editing the Erik Satie page. Thanks for your message. Politepunk 09:26, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

AfD on Dick Raper

Hello, I'd encourage you to revisit the discussion on the deletion of the Dick Raper article. As your vote stands, a block of voters supports you in an effort to keep the article (of which I was originally a part of). However, new information has been brought forth that shows that Mr. Raper is not the CEO of Masterfoods, which puts a serious dent in his notability. Since this AfD is in danger of coming to a close without a consensus, I would encourage you to review your recommendation given this new information. Thank you. --Cymsdale 23:43, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 01:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for experimenting with Misplaced Pages. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. --Rory096 19:55, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
