Copyediting[edit]
Question[edit]Why do some people devote themselves to deleting userpages when they could add to the encyclopdia. They have no need. Unless smething is harmful to people who don't want it then why delete it? Chubbennaitor 18:50, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Why are articles under MySpace categories deleted? They don't destroy the encyclopedia. As long as they aren't offensive and open to the public then the problem is... If the user devotes themselves to the MySpace then they should be deleted. Only then. Chubbennaitor 16:55, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Motto of the Day Free Ice Cream Day![edit]![]() By Imperial Decree of His Divine Majesty, our Most Sublime Padishah God-Emperor, Car'a'carn, Editor-in-Chief, etc. (may he live for ever) of the Dominion of the Motto of the Day, every Thursday is Free Ice Cream Day throughout the the Realm. Therefore, our glorious ruler (may he live for ever) has caused to be delivered to you by the Ministry of Frozen or Otherwise Cold Desert Treats this ice cream treat (which may include gelato, depending on one's interpretation of the picture). Let it be eaten without delay, lest the heat of the servers melt it. Let it not drip onto the Article Namespace, lest you suffer the Death of a Thousand Edits for allowing unencyclopedic melted desert treat to get into the wiki.

Hi, just wanted to drop a note that I've begun work on the revamp. I've reworked Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical music/Assessment and I have a modified version of the Project's mainpage at my sandbox, but I had a few quick questions first. Is it just me, or is the existence of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Contemporary music kind of pointless? I'm moderately annoyed that Glenn Gould isn't even rated under Classical Music at all. While I can see the purpose of a Wikipedia:WikiProject Composers, wouldn't it just be easier to break these into work groups? I'm slightly disgusted by the raw amount of overlap with projects here and I'm sure this causes confusion for other users as well.
In any event, I've begun rereading Peter Oswald's Glenn Gould: the Ecstasy and Tragedy of Genius, so expect some changes to that page in the near future. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR (t • c) 22:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
- I think the work grouping is a good idea - we could centralize better that way. That part gets a sure nod of approval from me. :)
- And good luck with the GG article. I'll keep an eye on it and will help out whenever real life permits. —La Pianista Speak · Hear 04:57, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Nocturnes Op. 27 needs a copyedit and another assessment. I may add more later, but that's unlikely. I'm going to submit it to DYK shortly. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR (t • c) 15:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit].....what is passive voice? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 23:04, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- English passive voice –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 23:17, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- In detail, it's the opposite of active voice. For example, "The cat ate the mouse" is in active voice. Passive would be "The mouse was eaten by the cat." At 1047, you have a lot of "was drawn up" and "was written." If you could add a subject towards the front of these phrases, that would be great. —La Pianista ♫ ♪ 03:12, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

- IMHO, don't expect respect. Try to earn it, but don't expect to get it all the time. When you get into a conflict with a user more experienced than you, he is naturally going to have the upper edge. That has nothing to do with you, it's just how things work here and in this world. The gravity of the problem depends on how you take it too. Either you go "OMG accusation!" or you can go "Oh wow, opportunity for improvement" (at least that's the way I see it, but I might be weird). It's always good to make sure that you leave no chance for others to see a fault in the way you act. Anyway, problem here seems to be about re-reverting without discussing first. Looks to me like both parties have missed that point and started arguing about some edit notice and respected editors.

DYK for Nocturnes Op. 27 (Chopin)
[edit]- That's a nice little article you have there :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 17:21, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
- Before my rant, I'd like to make a couple of things clear. Don't worry, it's not dangerous to read. :) I've pledged not to defer compliments because it is, to be frank, annoying. In real life, as matter of fact, I'm tired of getting scolded for denying compliments. So, for once, I thank you, Eddie for the note, and Panda for your help! Beautiful article, as Ed has said.
- However. Panda, why did you do that?! I don't need that nom. I barely touched the article four times. Anyone looking through the history can see that. I don't mean to be ungrateful, as I am very happy with the DYK. But please. I find it unsettling that I am taking credit for something to which I hardly contributed. It is not for the points - it's for my own conscience. From now on, whenever you are starting any "Nocturnes" articles, I wish not to take the credit unless I wrote up a section or two.
- This may make you mad, and though provoking that might bring me regret somewhat, at least I have said what I believe. I am not playing the humble card, and I am certainly not trying to be artificially sweet or deferential. I'm simply speaking my mind. :) —La Pianista ♫ ♪ 22:25, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
