FCC data

>Hi there, noticed your nice formatting work on Chicago. I was wondering where >you were pulling the radio station information from? 97.1 is WDRV-FM, "The >Drive", and has been for a few years now. It looks like whatever DB you may >be pulling the info from has old information. Perhaps you can query WDRV on >the FCC site, if that's not what you were already using.

I'm glad you like the formatting. I've been pulling the data from Arbitron. I tried the FCC but came up empty handed. If you find something let me know. I used to work in radio and every station worth its salt keeps their info updated with Arbitron because that's how they make their money. Arbitron is like the Nielsen of radio and they get their ad dollars by showing their status with them. I noticed 3 other stations that had out of date info with Arbitron and I checked on some of them and saw that some of their status was in limbo (buyout's etc.) which would make sense if their was some kind of change in ownership to wait until the next reporting period to make their change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasenlee (talk • contribs) 21:00, 1 March 2004‎

AP rhetorical questions

Thanks for [1] -- I've been trying to remove those for a while, but could never get the wording quite right. Nicely done. Cheers, David Iberri (talk) 12:12, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

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 JMD. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name JMD~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

East Coast hip hop

There are many unsourced edits, edit warring, and turf wars on East Coast hip hop article. Please add a WP:RFPP if they continue. The article may need a long-term protection. Thanks for fixing all that stuff (again). Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 23:38, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the pointer Jim1138. Still learning how to manage these sorts of gnarly situations. J D (talk) 23:55, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just undid a wp:copy-paste from possibly http://genius.com/Young-dee-east-coast-lyrics Looking back, I see that this was likely copy pasted previously. Copy/pasting of significant amounts of text is considered a copyright violation, and is serous enough to warrant a block after several warnings. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. One quick check is to find a unique-looking piece of text and google it in quotes. I used "East Coast hip hop is a style of hip hop music that originated in New York City during the" and fount the above link. Often a giveaway is a persons style in a comment being significantly different from what goes in the article. If you are interested in the subject (I'm not), you might get in touch with 71.178.130.74 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and update the article. I hope you don't minding me adding a huge welcome block at the top of your talk page. Cheers! Jim1138 (talk) 04:50, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jim I think you've mixed up my talk page with the IP user's talk page. (You added the welcome block to their page, not mine, etc.) But thanks for stepping in on East Coast hip hop, reverting that user's edits, and posting extensively on that IP's talk page about copyright and properly sourcing material. I'll take a look at the article again in a few days and try to clean things up and remove unsourced material. I worry this is going to estrange the IP user, but it seems they've been warned numerous times and are unresponsive. We'll probably have to RFPP. J D (talk) 06:33, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JD, I was interrupted. Now you have it. Don't forget, there is the wp:teahouse for discussing issues and wp:Help desk. For the IP's talk page, I used {{welcome-anon-t}} which is for IPs encouraging them to get a user name. Your welcome was {{welcome-menu}}. Editing since 2004? You should be giving me the welcome treatment! Less than 500 edits? Wow!

Unless you are really into Hip Hop, I wouldn't worry about the East Coast hip hop article. I have fairly eclectic tastes in music, but rapping isn't among them.

Some policy and essays that might apply/be useful here: WP:BITE, WP:AGF, WP:OWN, WP:COMPETENCE, and WP:NOTHERE. If you want to bring my (or others') attention to a talk page use {{u|Jim1138}}. Be sure to sign after the ping with four tildes, otherwise I won't be pinged. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 07:45, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, 500 edits in 11 years. Some of us know how to pace ourselves. :)

Anyway, since I last checked on East Coast hip hop, our old friend 71.178.130.74 came back and started an edit war; Materialscientist intervened and the page is now semiprotected. About sending notifications: thanks for the info Jim, I didn't know how to do that. But I was reading the {{u}} template page, and it doesn't mention that it generates notifications. I see, on the other hand, that {{User}} and {{reply}} do. That's how it reads to me, anyway. So did this edit ping you? J D (talk) 18:23, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I got the ping. I did a wp:rfpp, here erroneously using the redirect East coast hip hop and wondering for awhile why nobody responded. Also did a WP:ANI/3RR report WP:ANI/3RR#User:71.178.130.74 reported by User:Jim1138 (Result: 24 hours) which will quickly be archived. Our friend doesn't seem to have said anything since. Probably be on another IP. Do you think 71.178.138.25 and 71.178.130.74 are the same person? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 04:27, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

From the history, there does seem to be much battling. I wonder if any physical fights resulted from Wikipedia editing? Jim1138 (talk) 04:31, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jim, almost certainly the same person at those two IPs. Their writing style is the same, plus, here's a diff of 71.178.130.74 [2] identifying as "Nu Yawk", and here's a diff of 71.178.138.25 [3] using that same moniker. (The former isn't blocked, the later is under a two-week block.) J D (talk) 05:06, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And, now there's Midwest hip hop & Southern hip hop Perhaps just delete the articles? I wouldn't know hip hop from (your choice here) ;o) Ping me with {{u|Jim1138}} and sign "~~~~" or message me on my talk page. 22:10, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks for helping at New York Blood Center and thanks for tolerating the rename. There has been a lot of drama about that over the past 10 years and at least now I hope that it is over. Blue Rasberry (talk) 02:01, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My first reward! Thanks! And just in time to replace all that coffee I drank while figuring out all the WikiPolicies to deal with that page! I plan to beef it up more in the coming days, if I don't stumble trying to find third-party sources.

hadn't thought about that in a while. :) Jytdog (talk) 11:19, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lactated Ringer's solution, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lactate. 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:

Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form—most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See this essay for more details.

Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! --Tom (LT) (talk) 21:33, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
