Discussion on We Will Rock You

Hello! Would you like to comment on this discussion on whether arena rock should be in the infobox for We Will Rock You? If not, then feel free to ignore this message. Thanks! Johnny338 (talk) 22:37, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

BLPN

Your input at the Michael Wines section of WP:BLPN would be appreciated. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 20:21, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Cited Sources - Stop Islamization of America - Again

Hi Binksternet,

As mentioned in my earlier comment ony our talk page, please note that the sources in the "Stop Islamization of America" page do NOT use "Islamophobic". They do use "anti-Islamic" or "Anti-muslim". The change to "anti-Islamist" by DougWeller does not appear to meet consensus or the sources so I have removed that change. Changes to include "islamophobic" are NOT appropriate to the article or sources though. GrinSudan (talk) 06:15, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Request for mediation accepted

The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning Schiller Institute, in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for mediation/Schiller Institute, so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.

As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear.

For the Mediation Committee, Sunray (talk) 04:52, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Reference Errors on 5 June

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the 5 Seconds of Summer discography page, your edit caused an unnamed parameter error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:36, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

LP

I left proofs at the pages of both LP and vinyl record probing the connections I made on the articles. Please proceed with further discussion there. 83.13.239.255 (talk) 18:48, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Got it. Binksternet (talk) 19:52, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Hiya!

Hi Binksternet! I have a couple things that I would appreciate your opinion about: one is Blackhouse (band), the other is an orphan Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/H._Craig_Hanna. Thanking you for all your contributions to the Wikiprojects! Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 20:46, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

What are your questions? The Blackhouse article is an orphan, or nearly so. It's pretty well referenced, but a few of the cited reviews seem to like the band more than the article represents, so perhaps the band is too negatively portrayed. Regarding Hanna, he looks notable enough to me, having his work exhibited, and discussed in periodicals. Binksternet (talk) 23:54, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you; both had problem uploads with Commons and I don't have the "wikipedia" viewpoint anymore, so I ask you and several other editors for opinions when confused. The Hanna fellow hasn't a solid 3rd party non-press release article other than in a blog; my major concern with him was all his uploads of other people's photos to illustrate his page. Usually when people misunderstand the system that badly, the misunderstanding can come to the article space as well. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:50, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind me voting to keep the Hanna biography; I saw your vote was to delete! Best wishes - Binksternet (talk) 17:22, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Arena rock discussion

Hi Binksternet! I would first like to take this opportunity to thank you for your contributions to Talk:We Will Rock You. Secondly, I have noticed that there is a lot of confusion over whether or not arena rock constitutes a genre. Since consistency is good, I have brought the issue up here. If you are not interested in weighing in, then feel free to ignore this message. Thanks! Johnny338 (talk) 17:17, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. Binksternet (talk) 18:03, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Link

Hi Binksternet, Did you mean to link to a Misplaced Pages article rather than a news storing in the Irving article? (). I suspect not ;) Regards, Nick-D (talk) 08:43, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Your suspicion is correct! Thanks for the note; I've fixed my gaffe. Binksternet (talk) 12:35, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

HocolPrarum

Hi, I see you've been having some dealings with user HocolPrarum in recent days. FYI, this account appears to be a sockpuppet of a blocked user. Caper454 (talk) 12:23, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I believe you are correct. There are a number of genre warriors who disrupt the music articles, that that guy is certainly one of them. Binksternet (talk) 15:01, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

The genre warriors are annoying for sure. This particular guy/gal is quite persistent, it's a game waiting for the next new account to pop up. Anyways, enjoy your day my friend. Caper454 (talk) 16:11, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Gotta go offline,

for tonight, but - someone (not you) edit warring in several articles? At some point it's got to be ANI. Dougweller (talk) 18:32, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Judy Malloy

Do you have a quote from Malloy where she says she will be moving back to El Sobrante? Because as it stands right now, she seems to have been in Jersey for months, her personal Twitter makes no mention of El Sobrante or the Bay Area, she refers to Princeton as "home" and she posted the Fall schedule that shows her teaching there(https://www.princeton.edu/ams/undergraduate_program/seminars_1/). Even if she comes back to El Sobrante periodically, her place of residence sounds to be Princeton.98.207.61.240 (talk) 23:48, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Her online resume appears to list her address as New Jersey as well - http://www.well.com/~jmalloy/malloy_cv_2013.pdf98.207.61.240 (talk) 00:13, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Interesting editor

I'd be interested in your thoughts on Mosfetfaser (talk · contribs); I'm struck by this edit, especially the phrase "attacking opinionated biased sources". Redolent of YRC/O2RR, perhaps? Nomoskedasticity (talk) 10:26, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

I will keep an eye out. Binksternet (talk) 14:20, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

ANI

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

DYK nomination of Little David Records

Hello! Your submission of Little David Records at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Storye book (talk) 12:28, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for approving the DYK nomination! I know that a 3-way nom involves a lot of effort to review, so kudos to you. Binksternet (talk) 06:12, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Persian people

Sorry, I boldly reverted a long way back due to editing by a banned editor but also because the Tajiks suddenly disappeared with no reason given. As they are a Persian speaking people I don't understand why this happened. Dougweller (talk) 20:53, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

The page of Iran

Dear Binksternet, I extremely agree with you!

I'm only 18 years old and I believe that I'm still so new and amateur here. I'm just so obsessed with the article of Iran, because I believe my country and people are under so many covers that the people like Qizilbash have created. I've tried to improve the page of Iran, and I've tried to include more information to improve the sections about the culture and history, in order to show the truth, and show the events that have happened and are still happening, but now I suddenly felt really weak in front of the astonishing bigotry of this person. Please help me to stop them and save this page. Thank you for your attention. Arvid Qasemy (talk) 05:49, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

I like your youthful energy, and I like your devotion to portraying Iran as you see it. I think that some of our Iranian-heritage editors are too happy to push down the accomplishments of women. Most of the English-speaking world is very interested to hear about women's rights in Iran. This is the English version of Misplaced Pages, and I think the viewpoint of the English-language media is especially important. I applaud your efforts to brighten the Iran article, even though I might not agree with so many images added. Please tell me any time you are having trouble, and I will try to help. Binksternet (talk) 06:09, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

I would also like to help, but we can't make something constructive if guy above continue to force edit wars. I have to apologize for my harsh words on talk page, but you also need to understand that it's very frustrating when someone spends time and energy to explain things, bring reliable sources and engage in civilized discussion, and then someone cames and simply revert everything by one click. If you're dubious of anything which I've said I can provide even more sources - Western and academic. And regarding section about women, I can write it at talkpage and we can insert it by mutual census agreed. Greetings. --Qizilbash123 (talk) 23:58, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

SPI?

I thought you were taking Salar100b to SPI? However, he isn't related to LouisofAragon - Louis didn't remove Tajik material, these 2 have. Dougweller (talk) 08:15, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Farshidvard. Dougweller (talk) 08:36, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for sorting it out. Binksternet (talk) 15:26, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
	Binksternet, you're a good egg. Wanted to say to say that it hasn't escaped my notice that you're an extremely gracious and generous editor. Atlantictire (talk) 14:10, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, Atlantictire; your message is awfully sweet for me to see first thing in the morning when I log on. There are those here who enjoy working with me, and those who do not. I'm glad you land in the first group! Binksternet (talk) 15:28, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
