Greetings, welcome to my talk page. Please leave me new messages at the bottom of the page. I usually notice messages soon. If I think it is important to keep a thread together I will respond here; otherwise I probably will respond on your talk page.

Dawn, from my back patio.

New Year

I Hope You Have A Happy New Year Antandrus!!!! ¿Why 1 9 9 1 ^{ESP. | Sign Here} 22:44, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hope that you have a wonderful New Year and will party all night long. If you don't celebrate New year at this time well then happy early or late New Year and I still advise that you have a good time tonight!!! ¿Why 1 9 9 1 ^{ESP. | Sign Here} 22:44, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I want to say "Happy New Year". Daniel5127 <Talk> 02:15, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year

(Feliz Año Nuevo)

Happy New Year from Tony the Marine 02:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wish you and your loved ones all the happiness in the world this coming year.

Thanks!

I've apparently annoyed a 12-year-old who thinks she should have an article on Wikipedia. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 21:19, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed! I noticed! The one before is even funnier (Bennbread). Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 21:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That one is losing its charm (User talk:Bennbread); now it's just getting stupid. Those Lucille Ball edits are just plain weird. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 21:24, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good grief. You're right. If he vandalises anything again I'll block him for you. There's no reason we should let people like that waste our time. Antandrus (talk) 22:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you as well! I'm trying to do some work on Commons, it's a little quieter over there, but there aren't many guidelines so it's sorta slow going. Cheers, Mak (talk) 22:21, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so I'm trying to categorize a little bit at Commons, so my brain is about to explode. Am I correct in thinking that Monteverdi pieces should not be in Category:Renaissance music, or is he transitional enough to be in both Renaissance music and Baroque music? Thanks, Mak (talk) 23:38, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

His earlier madrigal books (up to Book V) are stylistically more akin to Lassus and Wert than to the early Baroque. There's probably other prima prattica things I don't know as well. Check out the Grove article, e.g. section 8, works of the Mantua years. I always classify his earlier (before his edit war with Artusi) music as Renaissance, and almost everything after that as Baroque. :) Antandrus (talk) 23:43, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, makes sense, thanks. I hereby acknowledge your message. Mak (talk) 23:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I'm old enough to know better than that, sorry. Mak (talk) 02:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem ... besides, it's a secret longing I have, I always wanted to be a Renaissance composer... :) Antandrus (talk) 02:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I do not aknowledge your message

Happy to acknowledge your message!

Thanks, Antandrus; and a Happy New Year to you too! Thanks also for your estimation. Words of encouragement are always greatly appreciated. Clio the Muse 00:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year

Yes, I hope 2007 is as good for you as I intend to make it for me...best wishes!--MONGO 07:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. It's much appreciated. :) --Brad Beattie (talk) 16:19, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! Watching recent changes this morning, it appears the kids are back in school ... and not paying attention to the teachers. Antandrus (talk) 16:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Good catch!

I've got the bot IRC feed in #vandalism-en-wp telling me where the problems are. :) They don't catch everything, but it's enough to keep a cluster of us busy, most times. Cheers! Luna Santin 05:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Editor review

Thanks for that, Antandrus, and happy new year! I'll take your advice, thanks for that! I'll continue new page patrolling.... if you spot any good AFDs, let me know! --SunStar Net^talk 12:42, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of the Renaissance

What does "an accelerated revalidation of music on a conceptual level" mean? Mak (talk) 16:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, that sounds like one of those things you hear uttered in a graduate seminar, which causes a Moment of Silence, during which you can hear crickets. I'm not sure what it means, but it reminds me of a lovely essay by Orwell we have discussed. :) Antandrus (talk) 16:15, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suspected that might be the case. Mak (talk) 16:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"It is safe to state that the Italian humanist movement, uncovering and proliferating the aesthetics of antique Roman and Greek art, contributed to an accelerated revalidation of music on a conceptual level, buts its direct influence on music theory, composition and performance remain suggestive."

That's got me confused as well. I'll be somewhat surprised if there's that rare being, a reliable source, for all that. Sounds horribly like postgrad NFT to me. If not even something worse. It just doesn't make sense even on a basic grammatical level, which is about all that I understand. "Remain suggestive" of what, may I ask? It doesn't say. The second half of the sentence is entirely disconnected from the first. How bizarre. Moreschi ^Deletion! 16:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I love that essay, and it's absolutely applicable in this case. The Sokal Affair is also one of my favorite send-ups of this sort of thing. (Weariness of fighting that sort of crud is one of the main reasons I'm no longer in academia.) Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 17:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another example...I remember reading about this in the paper a while back. Read and laugh. Lol, that extract...Cheers, Moreschi ^Deletion! 20:13, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Barack Obama

Copied from my posting to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection and also copied to Talk:Barack Obama:

I request that the current semi-protection tag be changed to the less obtrusive {{sprotected2}} and removed after an appropriate timeout interval. I believe that any move to establish permanent semi-protection is premature and preemptive for this article. I have previously expressed this view on the article's talk page, where no consensus has yet emerged on the issue. While it is true that some IP edits have been needlesome, they are manageable because the article is closely watched by a global audience. Reverts have been made by many editors, including some with IP addresses. Blatant vandalism is usually corrected within minutes and at all hours of the day. I have been an active contributor to the article since September 2006. Though I appreciate that there are others who may define the role of semi-protection differently, I have reviewed the policy documents and I think my view is more to the mainstream of the current thinking. Kindly consider my request. --HailFire 15:27, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Wiki Meeting

Hi, Antandrus. Thanks for saying Happy New Year. As I have been wikipedian since Last Year March, but have been active since Last year April. I really need to ask you about Wiki Meeting. Is there always Wiki Meeting in Same Place in every one year? In my opinion, Wiki Meeting is always openning in everywhere. For Example, I live in Los Angeles area, but you live in Santa Barbara which is next to Solvang, and Ventura(Oxnard). I remerber that I enjoyed in Santa Barbara about before 3 years ago when I came to America from my own country. Is Wiki Meeting's location always different even in Los Angeles Area? Is Wiki Meeting in Los Angeles always be in Los Angeles? or Santa Barbara? Because we are California Wikipedian. Have you ever participated in Wiki Meeting with Jimbo Wales? Just want to know about Wiki Meeting in Los Angeles. So Could you reply this in my talk page? Cheers!! Daniel5127 <Talk> 00:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks you for your response, and providing the WikiMeeting section in your area. For Meeting in Santa Barbara, did you make a wikimeeting plan with other wikipedians in Last year in Santa Barbara? Daniel5127 <Talk> 03:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism reverts

Thanks for the several recent vandalism reverts to my userpage. Much appreciated, Gwernol 02:54, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome; thanks for your vigilant patrolling. Happy new year, Antandrus (talk) 02:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Baroque Music

Thank you for the reception! I think I will go ahead and start working on the Baroque music article. My first project will be to expand the "early Baroque" part. However, I don't have experience contributing to wikipedia, and I do think that both the "Baroque vs Renaissance style" and "Baroque vs Classical style" session are not necessary, since the former will be explained in the "Early baroque" part, and the latter will be discussed in the "transition to the Classical era". My question is: should I announce those ideas in the discussion page and wait for approval, or should I just go ahead and make the changes (and explain them in the discussion page)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Narazadd (talk • contribs) 19:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I smile at you for this. :) Cbrown1023 02:39, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trump University

Hey, can you do something about this guy who keeps deleting info from the article? Taco325i 02:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

204.72.196.62

Hello there. You recently blocked this IP for repeated vandalism. A legitimate user has requested that it be unblocked, claiming that it is a high school IP (WHOIS is inconclusive.) I'm willing to unblock it and watch over it, but I am awaiting your input. Thanks. Grand master ka 04:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know; it might even be from the high school I attended. :-) Grand master ka 05:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Philips

Hi Antandrus, and Happy New Year! I've posted an article on Peter Philips, as suggested. Hope it's OK... Nick Michael 23:19, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot Antandrus. But may I differ with you as to the word 'virginal(s)'? Although the singular is found, the great majority of the mentions is in the plural, even when talking about a single instrument (cf 'trousers' 'scissors'): example; also [1] and [2]. Wictionary needs correcting in this, but I don't subscribe to it yet... If I have convinced you, would you consider reverting the spelling to the plural form?? Nick Michael 08:24, 9 January 2007

(UTC)

Virginals just redirects to harpsichord... I know, which is why I didn't include the link in the first place. Do you think it's better to have a redirect to 'Harpsichord' (which includes 'Virginals'), or no link at all. No opinion myself. Except I suppose there should be a separate article on Virginals - which I'd enjoy writing one day...! Cheers Nick Michael 16:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weird medieval question

The secret is not in knowing everything, but in knowing whom to ask. There is a codex from way back when that is physically in the shape of a heart. I cannot for the life of me remember its name or where it is. Does this ring a bell for you? P.S.: a merry Christmas (admittedly a bit late, and hoping you are a Christmas person), and a delightful 2007 to you, full of great things and delicious surprises! --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 18:23, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's it! Thank you. I thought it was the entire book but it has been probably 25 years since I was dealing with that particular dusty corner of human achievement. I knew you'd know. --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 19:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What to do if your scholl ip adress is blocked and you can not edit anything eventhough the info on some pages is wrong?

Linkspam Question

H Antandrus. I noticed you reverted a users insertion of linkspam into the Saddam Hussein Article. I was checking this guy's contributions and I noticed two unusual things. One, he has only made three edits. One, a vandalism edit about 6 months ago. The linkspam he added to the Saddam Hussein page, and finally he created his userpage, but all it has on it are the linkspam he added to the Saddam page. I clicked through to the link and it goes to a video he has uploaaded on Youtube (same username), so obviously he is trying to do this to ratchet up the views and attract traffic to his youtube and google video page. I didnt want to just go in and blank his userpage, so I thought I'd ask someone who probably knows more about this area than me...namely you. As this account appears to have been used only for vandalism and linkspam, (both on article and userpages) what should be done? Caper13 03:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Admin intervention requested

75.69.241.162 continues to remove pertinent info from Franklin Pierce Law Center and add his POV comments to The George Washington University Law School. He has also vandalized my user page.

That's for explaining that, and taking care of it; I appreciate it! This might perhaps be a silly question, but how can a logged in user create a new account? And how to we manage to see it? ([3]) That's pretty cool, I just never knew we could see that. Thanks, -- Natalya 13:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion?

Hello,

I have just checked the page I set up HAYDN - Nobody Knows Me to discover that you have deleted it due to the fact that there was only one source for the information and product. Please, can you give me some tips on how to get around this? I spent time and care to get this page correct even obtaining permission from the publisher of the book and from the author so I could use his picture and place his book on here. I thought this was a public arena to share things of interest with other? I thought a true story of a boys struggle would be of extreme interest to people and I wanted to share it. What information would I have to obtain to be permitted to use this apparent elitist site? Can only the author or publisher place books or entertainment on here? I am being to think this site is a little strict.

Thanks, Shane —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TrashNews (talk • contribs) 13:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

You're hilarious

Hey mate, I tried to move Preludes Op. 28 (Chopin) to Preludes (Chopin), but the latter is already a redirect to the former. Could you delete the redirect and move the one to the other? Thank! — The still-Esperanzan $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 03:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You

Hi,

This is just to thank you for reverting the recent vandalism on my user page. It's great that there are people like you around. If you ever need any help with anything, please let me know and I'll do my best.

Hi again, and thank you for reverting a second small bout of vandalism. I'm impressed by how quickly you spot these things ! Sincerely, WMMartin 11:41, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was wondering

I looked at your edit count and you have like 50,000 edits. Your already an admin, so I was wondering if you would like to be a bureaucrat.--Azer Red Si? 22:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Irgala

I may have been too hasty on the block button with that user. (My being doped up on painkillers probably isn't helping.) If you think the block should be reduced or lifted, it's cool with me. I do suspect that the block would end up reinstated -- users don't typically sign up and start posting on AN/I. -- Merope 03:14, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks you saved me the hassle

of posting that vandal from Conservatism in the United States for repeat violations. Keep up the good work.--Xiahou 01:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User reference on page-history page.

Hi, I saw you reverted some vandalism on a page and on the page-history it said:

Reverted edits by Bobbbbb6 (talk) to last version by Godrickwok

Is the bold text (user-contrib + talk) manually typed in or templated? I tried putting template in edit-comment but it doesn't get rendered. I presume that typing it in everytime will not be feasible; then is this thing you did some kinda adminstrator's special ability? Godric K./^Talk 05:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've blocked 199.72.185.34 for the day.

User:Cplot

I am a moderately experienced user, but there are clearly gaps in my education. This user, who has something over 200 sockpuppets, who get blocked (of course) as soon as they appear, appears to have infinite access to the project. Is it not possible to identify the site within which he clearly has access to a vast number of IP addresses and block the lot? Or, if it is a University or similar establishment, contact the powers-that-be on-site and work with them to eradicate his activity? Or am I being naiive and stupid? I ask you because, unless he has created another one while I was typing, you are the last admin to block one of his creations.--Anthony.bradbury 00:49, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not an admin (yet) and my sockpuppet-related activity is therefore clearly limited. But I do a great deal of NP-patrolling, and flag his articles ASAP. But a macro-block would have made life so much easier. I take your point about collateral damage. Is it wholly unacceptable?--Anthony.bradbury 00:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If there is any way to revert all changes this IP did it would probably be for the best since i do not know if he is telling the truth. I actually use wikipedia a lot, i have it bookmarked, but i never really edit it. My username is striker1211... good thing i wasnt logged in or i woulda got my username banned.

Hi, I'm writing a short article on the NM for the German language WP and just found your images on Commons. Do you have them in larger size/higher resolution?

Redirect (or something)?

Good morning! I just discovered that a search for "Muti" does not send you to "Riccardo Muti" but rather to some discussion of traditional African medicine, and there's no indication that there might be other things "Muti" could refer to.

I think you may have reverted to a vandalized version. I tried to revert farther back, but nothing seems to have happened (could be slow server response time). You might want to check it. Thanks. - Special-T 20:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads up - this idjit has been on several vandalism sprees recently - I just did a quick check, and you might wanna keep an eye on Mastasupes_Ressurected, which has recently been created and follows his exact pattern from before with the all the Mrsupes name variants....

Who makes changes to System Messages?

Hi, Antandrus! Happy New Year!

On January 12th I posted a message at the Help Desk. Curiously, it received ZERO response. So yesterday I posted it on the VP/Technical page. [4] This time it DID receive a detailed response, but it's WAY beyond my level of understanding. Can you advise or direct me to the proper folks? Thanks! ~~Newbie Mpwrmnt 08:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Antandrus

Thanks for getting back to me. I didn't realise the person already had to be established. I feel a bit stupid because I received a message from HAYDN himself and he also said the same as you that this page is not to be used as a career launching platform. I didn't mean any offence I just wanted to make people aware of a really good book. HAYDN told me to wait and see if he does well first. He uses this place alot and seems to know the rules better than I.

Have a good day

You're welcome. I wish your acquaintance's career well, and hope he can have a verifiable article some day. Please feel free to contribute to Wikipedia; it's a fun place. Antandrus (talk) 03:41, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Need some admin assistance

Remember the other night we talked about my growing fanclub? Could you take the time to look at Metallicaman2112 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). He started out as a troll/nonsense editor but quickly spiralled into a vandalism only account. I would ask that pay particular attention to User talk:Metallicaman2112 and the 'kind' little notes he has added there recently. Let me know what you think. Thanks, cheers and take care!

Thank you "Sir". I've actually had some excellent Wiki-collaborations/Wiki-conversations with a number of 'non-kids' lately that have been very positive. We elders are few...but we are here...whether the young'ns like it ot nor :) My AGF is very thin that you won't be talking with our 'uncivil sprout' again. After 21000+ edits...I've seen quite a few like him...not too many of them "come back from the shadows". Cheers...have a good weekend! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 02:18, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
