Re: Zhelyu Zhelev
I noticed that you credited Zhelyu Zhelev as a founder of the Rousse Committee. You wouldn't happen to have a source for that would you? Thanks 129.64.9.85 01:00, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Carl Palmer
I just deleted the "Fying Hat Band" part you added to Carl Palmer. Carl never played in that band, it was his brother Steve Palmer. Just to let you know.

Bye,

68.196.187.85 better known as www.jpfo.org - too lazy to sign in.

Re: Carl Palmer
I never edited Carl Palmer's profile - plus, it was his brother Steven who played drums in the Flying Hat Band.

Sorry then!
OK, sorry, I thought it was you who added the FHB piece. And I just said the same thing.

Anyway, I see from your page that you like three things that I also like - Nietzsche, Heavy Metal and economics! Maybe you can write something about the FHB. I've heard that their album was released a coupla years ago, but I can't confirm this.

All Good!
The Flying Hat Band's album was never officially released. As you may know, Vertigo thought it sounds too much like Black Sabbath and put it in the vault. Until one or two years ago, Gary of the Rockdetecor website used to own the original recording, but he has since passed it on to Glenn Tipton. So whether the album will ever surface is now entirely up to Glenn, but I sure hope he will decide to put it out somehow. Maybe even package it together with the much-anticipated follow-up to 1996 solo effort Baptizm of Fire?

However, I do own a four-song demo of the FHB that was released by a now-defunct German label in 1992. It is in fact a split with Attrobus and is no rarity, but in case you don't have it I'll gladly share it with you, just let me know.

Thanks Dude!
That's really nice of you. I wasn't exactly sure of Attrobus - if it was an FHB or Al Atkins. As a matter of fact I grew out this whole collecting thing, a few years back I sold my entire Priest vinyl collection (over 400 pcs!). I'm just curious to hear their early stuff - what did the "real" rock-rolla sound like, the original "Caviar and Meths", "Holy Is The Man" etc. I know that this Sharpe guy had a lot of demos, but in my day he was loathed by all priest fans as he didn't want to trade or sell them for anything. There was also a rumor that he had the SAW demos... who knows... Anyways, if you have this FHB on digital I'd be glad to give 'em a listen, you can email them leatherrebel74@yahoo.com otherwise don't bother. Thanks,

www.jpfo.org

1972 Demo
Check your e-mail, dude, I've got something for you there.

This is actually not a Priest demo, but a Flying Hat Band demo. It's a split with another defunct British band called Attrobus, and there are only four FHB songs on it, but they're pretty awesome. Just makes me even more curious to hear the full album they recorded with Vertigo.

True, Sharpe-Young has quite the collection, or so rumour has it. I have no idea if he owns a copy of the SAW demos, but from what Rob Halford has been sayign they're well locked up. Although Gary has proven himself very good at obtaining rare stuff. I know Rob has a huge collection of unreleased Priest material at his Phoenix house, but who knows if any of it will ever see the light of day.

Check your e-mail and let me know what do you think.

Thanks You're The Man!
I mean the Holy (is the) Man! I thaught 'Attrobus' was FHB's album title. In any event, I'm going to do 2 things now

1. I'll check my email 2. I'm going to break into Rob's house and lay a hand on those old tapes. Maybe I'll even make a buck on ebay, LOL!

Thanks dude!

Oh, just one thing, how can I find out how many records an artist sold? The other day I was talking to someone who only listens to classical, and we spoke about how much pop sells, and who are the biggest. I said Beatles, Stones, Madonna, Zeppelin, Kiss, AC/DC, Purple, Floyd. Then I read somewhere that I only got a few right - so where do I find this info?

THX.

Men and the Man
Be careful breaking into Rob's house... You might get lucky, he-he-he.

On a more serious note, if you're willing to pay for record sales data then I suggest you go to Nielsen SounsScan and get all the data by paying. If you're just inetesred in general sales level (in the U.S.) the RIAA official website should be enough.

http://www.riaa.com/gp/database/default.asp - Searchable database; http://www.riaa.com/gp/bestsellers/topartists.asp - Top artists ever.

Currently, the Beatles, Elvis and Zeppelin and the top three best-selling artists in the U.S. A year or so ago Zepp was number two, but I guess the recent releases of Elvis stuff sold real well.

Interesting Numbers!
I was quite surprised to see a few things... I'd like to know global figures though. Europe is probably less rock and more pop. I thought Michael Jackson was all the way up... Fleetwood Mac was a surprise - I didn't know they were selling records LOL! Plus a bunch I never heard of! You ever heard about George Strait or Brooks Garth??? I also see priest were at their peak sales-wise in the late 80'es - that's when all their albums went gold... Who cares anyway? If I like it I'll listen to it whether it sold 4 copies or 4 billion... Just interesting to see what people listen to in the world.

Old Macedonian
If you are going to make edits on the Old Church Slavonic page, it is essential you acquire these handbooks:

 * Grigore Nandris, Handbook of Old Church Slavonic: I Grammar (London: The Athlone Press, 1959)
 * William Schmalstieg, An Introduction to Old Church Slavonic (Slavica, 1992)
 * Horace Lunt, Old Church Slavonic Grammar (The Hague: Mouton, 2002)

These are the best general OCS works in English and are the sort of reputable publications we should represent on the OCS entry. Now, be aware that the term "Old Macedonian" is widely used in English, as a glimpse at the introduction to these handbooks would show. The speech of Sts Cyril and Methodius was that of Thessalonki, which is squarely inside the region historically called "Macedonia". The term also helps to avoid confusion between the speech of Sts Cyril and Methodius and the considerable different dialect of later scribes in Moravia (Old West Slavonic) and the slightly different dialect of later scribes in Bulgaria (Old Bulgarian). This nomenclature was adopted long before current wars between Bulgarians, Macedonians, and Greeks over the existence of a separate Macedonian people and the term "Old Macedonian" implies no connection with the current inhabitants of FYROM Macedonia. 05:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Samuil
Why did you remove a large amount of text without explanation? Please use edit summaries so your edits are not mistaken for vandalism.Thank you. Johann Wolfgang 00:48, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: Samuil
You are right, my bad. However, the text under "Other theories" is absolutely ridiculous, claiming Tsar Samuil's life is the "established theory"? There is absolutely no sense or least of all any proof that Samuil was anything but a Tsar of Bulgaria.

A group of people are twisting historical facts to suit their political views. What if I went ahead and claimed that Caesar was Emperor of Rome only by "the established — and internationally accepted — theory"?

 * I see your point, however I do not know anything at all about Samuil, that said I can not take sides on whether the text is true or not. If you want to remove it you can start a discussion on the talk page for consensus (this may not work in this situation though), or ask an administrator to intervene. Thank you.

Durzhavna Sigurnost
Грешката не е само твоя, за втори път се получава така, защото се предоверявам на ботовете, които в българската Уикипедия явно не са много активни по добавянето на междуикита (или може би аз нещо не разбирам от това, което трябва да правят... в en винаги добавям). Иначе да — съдържанието е супер сходно и няма да е проблем сливането.

Не мисля, че статиите за всички подобни служби имат имена на местния език — виж примерно State Security (Czechoslovakia). Освен това остава въпросът дали ще е Darzhavna, Durzhavna, Darjavna, Durjavna, Durzavna, Darzavna... основно заради това предпочетох преведено на английски име.

If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:05, 11 November 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Daggerstab (talk) 12:05, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

World Heritage sites in Bulgaria
Hi, i noticed your edit to create redlink for UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Bulgaria. Great that you are creating a separate list article about that. I am working with others to create a new format for the big World Heritage Site lists. Tables in draft form appear in working page WikiProject World Heritage Sites/Tables of WHS Sites.

I wonder if you would like a table format like the top one in that page, perhaps, or to start with and modify from. It includes coordinates for all of the sites, and this provides for a Google map link which will allow readers to click once and then see all the sites in Bulgaria shown with little flags, on a Google map, which they can zoom in on and view in satellite view, etc. Let me know if you are interested in collaborating on this. doncram (talk) 17:38, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

A Request for Help
Hi there Kroum :), I noticed your username on Translators Available Bulgarian to English. I was wondering if you could help with updating Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the Bulgarian Wikipedia? Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the English Wikipedia has been majorly revamped- particularly, its being treated as a BLP now, since no ones been able to find evidence of his death. I'm sorry to say I know little Bulgarian-I'd really appreciate your help in this :), although I understand if you don't have the time. Thanks in advance!

License tagging for File:Capital-20101210-frontpage.png
Thanks for uploading File:Capital-20101210-frontpage.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:05, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Dnevnik-20101216-frontpage.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Dnevnik-20101216-frontpage.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 05:10, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)
Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Translators available list.

Thanking you with warm regards Mahitgar (talk) 05:14, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK/Wikimania 2006
Hi, this is a circular to Wikipedians in Ireland to draw your attention to Wikimedia UK, where the establishment of a local Wikimedia chapter for the United Kingdom (and possibly for the Republic of Ireland) is being discussed. See the talk page, as well as the mailing list; a meetup will take place to discuss matters in London in September, for anyone who can get there. On another topic, plans are being drawn up for a UK bid for Wikimania 2006, which would be conveniently close to Ireland. On the other hand, Dublin's bid was one of the final three last year - might we bid again? --Kwekubo 04:15, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Quick Blog.

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 Skeptical. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Skeptical~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 03:03, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Interesting link you gave me to the map in each country's language. The maps I've been working on are for highlighting purposes only, and will not have any country names on them - at least, there are none planned. It's a neat idea, however!

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

Hello, Jimbo Wales will be in San Diego to attend OOPSLA and has agreed to come by and visit with the San Diego wikipedians. If you are interested, you will find more info on my talk page. Johntex\talk 00:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject, or I happen to know personally).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 00:38, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Nice contribution to the Krazy Kat article. -- llywrch 20:57 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much. mw66

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. Annette Heinemeyer

saw your comment - why not write the article in a WP, and then just copy to the enc, or alternatively, add it in chunks, so you don't exceed the inactivity time? You can always add a still working comment to minimise interference. jimfbleak 07:03, 18 Oct 2003 (UTC)

--- Re:Films considered the worst ever You and I got an edit conflict, and I couldn't figure out what you had changed. Checking the page history, it appears there were multiple reversions of various changes made by many different people, and I can't figure out what, if anything, was lost. If I reverted something of yours, it was not deliberate. Tuf-Kat 06:39, Oct 21, 2003 (UTC)

 * Hey TUFKAT, no biggie! :-) mw66

--- hi mw. was looking at the Asano Tadanobu page; i wrote the imdb bio, so anything you wanna take from there is fair game. i could do it myself, but i feel bad just wholesale replacing anything without a stub message. should probably also inc. a line explaining that he's in so many movies because he doesnt (point of principle) do TV, which is rare bc japanese actors make more money doing tv than film.

I saw that you deleted most of my writing about the music in Silent Hill, as well as the atmosphere within it (e.g. the describition of the otherworld). Why? What is it that you want with this article if not to describe what the game is actually like and what it's about?Loui Da Boss

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Vincent Lopez

Vincent Lopez (December 30, 1895 – September 20, 1975) was an American bandleader, actor, and pianist.

Early life and education
Lopez was born of Portuguese immigrant parents in Brooklyn, New York City, United States, and was leading his own dance band in New York City by 1916. On November 27, 1921, his band began broadcasting on the new medium of entertainment radio; the band's weekly 90-minute show on the Newark, New Jersey, station WJZ boosted the popularity of both himself and of radio. He became one of North America's most popular bandleaders, and would retain that status through the 1940s.

Career
He began his radio programs by announcing "Hello everybody, Lopez speaking!" His theme song was "Nola", Felix Arndt's novelty ragtime piece of 1915, and Lopez became so identified with it that he occasionally satirized it. (His 1939 movie short for Vitaphone, Vincent Lopez and his Orchestra, features the entire band singing "Down with Nola".)

Lopez worked occasionally in feature films, notably The Big Broadcast (1932) and as a live-action feature in the Max Fleischer cartoon I Don't Want to Make History (1936). In 1940, he was one of the first bandleaders to work in Soundies movie musicals. He made additional Soundies in 1944.

Noted musicians who played in his band included Artie Shaw, Xavier Cugat, Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey, Bob Effros, Mike Mosiello, Fred Lowery, Joe Tarto and Glenn Miller. He also featured singers Keller Sisters and Lynch, Betty Hutton, and Marion Hutton. Lopez's longtime drummer was the irreverent Mike Riley, who popularized the novelty hit "The Music Goes Round and Round".

Lopez's flamboyant style of piano playing influenced such later musicians as Eddy Duchin and Liberace.

In 1941, Lopez's Orchestra began a residency at the Taft Hotel in Manhattan that would last 25 years.

In the early 1950s, Lopez along with Gloria Parker hosted a radio program broadcast from the Taft Hotel called Shake the Maracas in which audience members competed for small prizes by playing maracas with the orchestra.

In 1960 he published his autobiography Lopez Speaking. Vincent Lopez died at the Villa Maria nursing home in North Miami, Florida, on September 20, 1975.

Business interests
Lopez saw jazz and bandleading as a big business opportunity. Like rival Paul Whiteman had done a few years earlier with his United Orchestras, Inc, in 1924 he created the company Vincent Lopez, Inc, with a stated goal of starting jazz orchestras and schools in major North American cities, and managing copyrights. By 1926 the endeavor became insolvent, and to avoid bankruptcy Lopez, Inc went into partnership with Eugene Geiger's Eldorado Finance Co.

In 1927, he partnered with other major bandleaders Paul Whiteman, Ben Bernie, George Olson, Roger Kahn, Fred Rich, B. A. Rolfe, and Ernie Golden to launch the trade union National Association of Orchestra Leaders. They hired Julian T. Abeles at an annual salary of $25,000; his stated goal was to stop competition among their orchestras for musicians, contracts, and bookings. In practice this was a labor cartel, and the NAOL's efforts and lawsuits on behalf of orchestra leaders and owners continued into the 21st century.

'Papua' vs. 'New Guinea'
Hi, you've just changed my wording on the Papua disambiguation page. 'Papua' is not an old name for the island of 'New Guinea'. It was used by the Portuguese for Halmahera, and generically for the islands around that area (the os papuas) but has never normally been used as a name for the island of New Guinea. I grant that a few writers have occasionally used 'Papua' to refer to the whole island, but I'd consider that to be either a mistake or a nonce usage. As far as being 'official', well, 'New Guinea' has been the name used on maps for over 400 years and is, at least, the standard name in all atlases, maps, gazeteers, etc. cheers, Dougg 23:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi, I agree New Guinea is the name, it's only the usage of the word "official" I had issues with. Pm67nz 08:54, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

I've just seen your new wording on the Papua disambig page and I like it -- kind of the inverse of how I had it. cheers, Dougg 10:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Gembogl PMV.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Gembogl PMV.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:48, 10 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 11:48, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
