Greetings. I've taken the liberty of moving the 'Avenging Angels' article you created to the new title Avenging Angels (song). I did this for two reasons:

• Since the actual song title does not feature the quotes, the quotes should not be in the article title.
• Since there are other definitions for avenging angels, adding the (song) designation removes ambiguity.

I have also added links to this article to the Avenging Angel disambiguation page, and to the article on the Tin Planet album. Don't worry, I don't plan on mucking around with the content of the article itself. Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any further questions. Happy editing! --Finngall ^talk 16:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. I noticed you've been categorising some articles. Could you take care not to add categories to an article, if one or more of its sub-categories is already included. For example, you added Category:Italian cuisine in this edit, but that article already includes Category:Italian breads and Category:Italian pastry, which are far more specific about the type of cuisine represented by the article. Thanks. Mindmatrix 20:31, 5 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

A tag has been placed on Venturi Flume, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 23:00, 27 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 13:09, 3 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I removed your comment from the talk page of the flexing article because it was a comment about the dance and not a comment about how to improve the article. Comments like that are discouraged. To answer your question, yes, shoulder flexibility is standard in flexing. Contortion is a large part of the dance so being able to flex in this way is not only common, it's necessary/critical. I don't know how anyone could call themselves a flexor without being able to move in this way. As noted in the article, flexors incorporate tutting into their dancing but both styles, I think, look very different.

As you may already know there are different forms of tutting. Sometimes people tut without using their arms, just using wrists, hands, and fingers (called finger tutting). I've never seen that done in flexing. Watch this video which shows finger tutting, then watch this video which shows regular tutting. Finally, watch this one which shows standard flexing. This last video is long. It actually shows a battle between a turfer, the first dancer in the black shirt (turfing comes from Oakland/San Francisco) and a flexor, the second dancer in the white shirt. These two styles look much more similar to each other. I don't want to confuse you but I linked this video because the second dancer, a flexor, gives a really good example of standard flexing: contortion mixed with waving, tutting, and gliding. Flexing incorporates tutting but only sometimes. It's not necessary to tut in order to perform flexing. What characterizes flexing is well... flexing i.e. contortion. During the flexor's second set, which was roughly a minute and a half, he only does tutting for the first three seconds. The rest is all contortion and burns.

After watching these videos, I think you'll see tutting and flexing don't look that much alike. If not, at least you'll get to see some good dancing. Note: the second video shows the freestylers using a fake gun in order to burn each other (click here for a definition if you don't know what it means; read the third one). Please don't be offended. It's common in battling (NOT the use of guns, but executing burns). //Gbern3 (talk) 18:15, 20 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:42, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited Simple Symphony, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bad Blood (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.

Hello
I noticed your comment on the Pier Head talk page a while ago (here). Your second link was interesting; do you know any more about it? It refers to a "Books" magazine, but I haven't been able to find it in a google search; do you know if it has another title? Also, it says it is Volumes 12-17, which (going by the other volumes on offer) covers about 5 years; do you have any dates? And the book being reviewed (called "Still Here", I think) doesn't show up in a search either; do you know the author, or if it has another title? I'm kind of interested in running down the truth of this question, as it seems to provoke strong opinions one way or another... it'd be nice to have a definitive answer.

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:The dandy warhols bohemian like you (front) - Re-Release.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Hey Novalia. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:40, 1 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
