See WP:MOVE. Or, if it's too hard to click that link, simply click the "move" button next to the history one at the top of the page. -- TheGreatLlama ^{(speak to the Llama!)} 23:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Without having looked at the edits themselves, it's always good to consider WP:CIVIL and the rule against reverting changes 3 (or more) times within 24 hours. Violations of either of things can be reported here: Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. The best bet, though, is to remember to stay calm and note that no matter how annoying it is, eventually one (or more) of them will tire of the game and go away. Mopping up whatever mess they make is just a button click away. Rklawton 04:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for reverting the vandalism of my user page, although I found it quite amusing :) -Elmer Clark 20:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I wondered if you minded taking a look at an article for creation that I started but don't have the authority to publish yet (I'm a newly registered member). It's a band on the Acoustic Disc label, Old School Freight Train, of which I am a huge fan but not a member. The Dawg is also a huge fan. If you're interested, it's sitting in the AFC stack for 10/24/06. Thanks. Jltuck 13:38, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen you make the Acoustic Disk article, since I made The Pizza Tapes and linked to it, (and you even corrected my [[Folk]] and [[Acoustic]] mistakes) in the infobox. But do you know by any chance where the label is located? When I made it I couldn't find where it was so I deleted the "| location = " section between country and genre.

Hello, Moorematthews! Can you please sign my autograph book? Thanks! User:Cremepuff222/Signature

I may be able to help you after I design Appleworm's. Cremepuff222 (talk, sign book) 22:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just giving you a heads up: I just reverted some vandalism on your user page, and I'm not sure how it works but you might want to consider getting it semi-protected (if such a thing is allowed on user pages). --RazorICE 07:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Semiprotected -- Tawker 17:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, give me a shout if you ever want it unprotected -- Tawker 05:05, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're very welcome. Glad I could help. Will (aka Wimt) 20:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've semi-protected your talk page for a little while, to let certain trolls crawl back to their caves. It's only for 6 hours, but if you don't want it protected, please do feel free to ask at RFPP. Cheers, – Riana_ऋ 23:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty persistent huh? :) If you need anything protecting, let me know. Cheers, – Riana_ऋ 13:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be ok to have the external link to the monontrail.com site, as long as it is labeled something like "Monon Trail opposition site" or something like that, don't you think? Are you knowledgeable of the events he talks of? Perhaps, instead of removing his stuff, we can craft a short, balanced view of the issues. --rogerd 14:17, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I looked up the indianatrails.org site (not the opposition site), and it turns out that the guy who runs the Hoosier Rails-to-Trails Council is someone I used to know. I called him yesterday and asked him about this controversy. He is familiar with the guy who is posting this stuff (he is using his initial and his last name in his user name on the talk page). This guy is a disgruntled homeowner who has property on the Monon in Carmel, who has been trying to drag this out for years. I told my friend that we need a balanced, short statement of the controversy with both sides represented. He is going to look at it and get back to me. He has used wikipedia as a reference and is a little familiar with it, but has not edited. I encouraged him to register as a wikipedia user and change it himself, but he is not very confident of his computer skills. I would rather not be involved as a someone presenting one side of this argument or another, but stay in an impartial role. I recommend that we leave Tharleman's biased additions there for the time being until we get the other side. He still hasn't provided any references, just links that point to various parties' web pages. Thanks. --rogerd 17:25, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, after our discussion here on my user talk page a couple of months ago, I have made a few modest improvements to the Garcia/Grisman album articles (all seven of them). Basically, I added album cover images (to the ones that didn't already have them), some more professional reviews, and the Garcia/Grisman album chronology. This is all in the infoboxes. — Mudwater 23:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They look great!!, thanks for the help. Moorematthews 12:40, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Old and in the Gray (album), by TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Old and in the Gray (album) is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Old and in the Gray (album), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 15:57, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor has removed the suggestion for speedy deletion from the article, so that's good. Did you see what I said here on my user talk page? Feel free to reply either there or here. — Mudwater 01:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I ended up adding an album cover image, and also a few other updates to the infobox. I would still encourage you to try uploading an album cover or other image, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. On the other hand, no pressure -- feel free to make or not make whatever edits you like. — Mudwater 15:04, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've suggested that the article "Retrograss (album)" be renamed, to "Retrograss". Feel free to join in the discussion if you want to, at Talk:Retrograss (album)#Title of this article. — Mudwater 01:52, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for nice comment - sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. I've found, particularly on disputed pages, that's is really good to try to be as clear as possible and cite refs or your stuff gets reverted right away whether it's correct or not. Bob98133 02:22, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note on my Talk page. I guess I assumed that if it showed only one day the reader would think they were still married. But I can see your point. I'll change it back. TimidGuy (talk) 14:46, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
