Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 11:15, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

SoxBot
Just a quick request — SoxBot is constantly removing {{uncat}} tags from articles whose only categories are hidden maintenance categories that don't actually count toward an article being considered properly categorized, with the result that there are now several hundred articles where there's a constant edit war between SoxBot detagging articles that shouldn't be detagged and the categorization project retagging them again and then SoxBot detagging them yet again. As an example, look at the edit history of Manipuri literature, where that very back and forth game has been going on for months. (And for bonus points, SoxBot frequently doesn't catch articles that actually should be detagged, such as cases where an editor subsequently adds legitimate categories but forgets to remove the uncat tag.)
There needs to be a solution somehow, because it's getting to be an unproductive waste of everybody's time — but I've asked you about this before and I understand that it's difficult to program a bot to correctly distinguish hidden maintenance categories from real content ones. Would it be at all possible for you to program SoxBot not to remove the uncat tag from an article, but to switch it to {{cat improve}} instead? Bearcat (talk) 18:50, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi
File:Song2.jpg was speedy deleted per CSD F9, I remember well that I did add a non-free fair use template on. Song Zuyin is both a professional singer and a military personal at the same time, I believe that File:Song2.jpg clearly shows that she is a multi-talented professonal. I would like to reload it again, if possible. Arilang talk 00:43, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
Featured Sounds needs you
Featured sounds was booming with activity in the March/April period, ideally that should be all the time. FS has been a battleground at times, however, it is my hope that that is in the past. I ask you all to reconsider your positions and set aside the differences you may have had with other participants for the good of the project and encyclopedia. Don't let FS become like VP, it is a path that a featured process should traverse. You were sent this message because you are listed at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Contributors or have been a past contributor.

Deletion Complaint - The travelling band
Sphilbrick - the content you have deleted for The travelling band page is not owned by http://www.strummerville.com/the-travelling-band/.
They used text from a press release for The Travelling Band, which we gave to them. This means that the text they used is ours. Therefore not in violation of copyright.
I am new to Wikipedia and do not have time to become an advanced user. The site was put up for fans, and to connect to Music Brainz. It is not for advertising and is in no way in violation of any copyright.
I can's find my previous 3 comments made to this affect anywhere on Wikipedia. Did you read them?
Please tell me what I can do to stop this happening again or if you can reverse what you have done.
Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamkmm (talk • contribs) 14:16, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
