(Thought I'd mention -- I think you accidentally added the [[Template:Welcome]] directly to [[User:Sompm]] instead of [[User talk:Sompm]], and also I think we're using '''<nowiki>{{subst:Template:Welcome}}</nowiki>''' instead of just '''<nowiki>{{Template:Welcome}}</nowiki>''', so that all the text of the template is pasted in. I'll go clear the page and add the welcome text to Sompm's talk page.) --[[User:Bry|Bry]] 22:16, 3 May 2008 (EDT)

I am working on the order of the Minneapolis show right now. I think I have all the songs there, but can't remember exact order. JoCo played a Journey cover as the last encore song, but I can't remember what it was right now. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words of welcome MitchO! So, a couple of questions:

1. What is the best place to have discussions? I was going to respond to your entry on my Talk page, but I wasn't sure if you would see my response.
Thanks for the banana, MitchO! And yes, the card works just fine :) &mdash; <span style="font-variant:small-caps">[[User:Wesley|Wesley]]</span> | 20:17, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

2. I can add some info to my entry, but what kind of information do people want to see?

I've just said this in the forums, but I really, really dig [[SotD:Main]]. Nicely done! (This is the point at which you pretend I've actually taken the time to create a card and give it to you...) --[[User:Bry|Bry]] 17:12, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
 
 
 
Don't worry, I'm not ''that'' trigger happy with others' pages. Someday, some of those pages will graduate to QVFD; right now, it's just a list of pages that bug me.

I'm just going through each of the songs I have videos for and adding links to them on YouTube to that song's page.  I hope that's OK.
 
  
Hey, Mitch -- thanks for deleting my paragraph about cats 'n' such. I think I left that on the sandbox the first week or so that Lex put it up, and expected at the time it would all be scrubbed before the Pedia went live. You've Mister Cleaned it!

I don't doubt that there is / was an actual Buckingham Square Mall somewhere in Connecticut, but it isn't / wasn't in Aurora, Connecticut, for several reasons, particularly that there is no Aurora, Connecticut. The [http://www.ecoupons.com/malls/Connecticut/Buckingham-Square Google search result] that lists a Buckingham Square Mall in Aurora, Connecticut, includes the ZIP code 80012 -- which is the ZIP of Aurora, Colorado. --[[User:Bry|Bry]] 16:01, 24 November 2008 (EST)

Unfortunately, you have to have the plain <nowiki>[[Category:whatever]]</nowiki> for it to go in the category, and to list it you have to have the separate <nowiki>[[:Category:whatever|whatever]]</nowiki>.

Hi,
 +
I'm Steven Smith, I'm a volunteer sysop over at the Celtx Wiki ([http://wiki.celtx.com wiki.celtx.com]). I've been keeping vandalism away from there since late February, and their wiki now has almost no vandalism. In addition, thanks to the IP blocking that goes along with username blocking, there probably won't be any vandalism there ever again. (Maybe some kid might change it, but nothing like the huge scale advertising there used to be).
 +
I'd like to offer my services as Wiki Sysop to block vandals and revert vandalism. My user page on CeltxWiki ([http://wiki.celtx.com/index.php?title=User:Blha303]) and User Contributions page ([http://wiki.celtx.com/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Blha303]) are my resume.

P.S. I sent this message to Agent Lex and JoCo a few days ago, no response from them yet. I would email this, but you have no email address registered. I'm unsure whether or not moderators can set privilege levels, although I'm guessing not. I'm reposting this on Bry's talk page as well.
Quick, random notes:
 
* Have you seen the #ifexist -> preloaded template fix I put up at [[WikiProject talk:Song Of The Day#SOTD:Main]]? It seems to work properly, and since the box itself's copied and pasted from your [[User:MitchO/Main Page]], it should be usable there.
 
* Speaking of SotD, what about occasional "theme weeks"? May be difficult if we're using the same songs on the same days every year, since they won't always fall on the same week. Worth consideration?
 
* I might also arrange the songs on the [[SotD talk:Main]] in something like this:
 
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
 
! Song
 
! Day 1
 
! Day 2
 
! Day 3

* I think TDiJC may need an overall revamping -- split it into months, which would lessen your concerns about templates taking too long to load (which may not be so much of a problem anyway)? (I mean, split it by months and embed the templates in the months.) Think that's about it for this batch of comments... --[[User:Bry|Bry]] 13:18, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
 
 
 
:Well, I think I need to get a lot further in the SotD project to worry about establishing a table, though that ultimately seems like the right idea. I just look at the list and start hunting for inspiration right now.  The ifexist part looks good, but for some god awful reason my personal main page thinks it's May 8th, when the actual Main Page thinks it's May 7th. I'll fiddle when I get a chance .  --[[User:MitchO|MitchO]] 13:34, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
 
::(checks watch) It is May 8th, isn't it? Which page thinks it's the 7th? --[[User:Bry|Bry]] 13:36, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
 
:::Bizarre.  Your example was still showing May 7th earlier, but it's fixed now.  Either you stealth edited, or I'm stuck in a time loop. :p --[[User:MitchO|MitchO]] 13:40, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
 
::::Well, I did null-edit (to refresh the page) -- wikipages don't always reload the template (and usually not immediately -- try, for example, changing the [[Template:RFC]] to take out the auto-include-in-category, then refreshing [[:Category:RFC]] and seeing some pages disappear and others stay). But my example was previously showing [[Bozo's Lament]], which was May 8 before you moved it to the 18th, I think. --[[User:Bry|Bry]] 13:45, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

:Hey, Mitch, thanks for all your hard work on the wiki! The song pages you've been fixing really look good; not only that, but you've put a lot of really interesting and informative content in, too.

== Re: Kenesaw ==
 
No, I hear ya -- sorry about the edit conflicts! I've been using "Coulton" rather than "Jonathan" everywhere, which is a lot of places; I'll start using "Jonathan," then, but I don't know what to do about all the pages where I used "Coulton". ("WikiProject:Pages Bry Screwed Up"?) As I've been mentioning, I'd really like to put together some kind of style guide, just so we all know whether we should use <nowiki>==Setlist==</nowiki> or <nowiki>'''Set List'''</nowiki> or whatever... --[[User:Bry|Bry]] 11:55, 20 May 2008 (EDT)
 
 
 
== Thanks for the welcome! ==
 
I wasn't sure where to find the guides, so your message definitely helped! Now I get to try out this signature thing! --[[User:Encubed|Encubed]] 10:41, 21 June 2008 (EDT)
 
 
 
== Forum post link ==
 
 
 
Just thought I would quickly fill you in on where my thought process went on fixing the link on [[Kristen Shirts|Kristen Shirts' page]]. Firstly I noticed you made a slight mistake in URL, it is comment.php<strong>?</strong>DiscussionID not forward slash. This didn't fix the prblem, it just meant instead of getting a forum error page I was getting a jonathancoulton.com error page. In the end I figured out what the problem is. In mediawiki (I assume it is universal) all page URLs after the final forward slash use punctuation in the code form (eg a spce is an underscore, a comma is "%2C", etc). This mean that it put the URL for the forum in that form. So it was returning an error as it needs the question mark, the and sign, the equals all to be in punctuation for it to recognise the page and take you to the right place. This means that you can not use an internal link to link to the forums. Internal links can only be used for wiki pages and pages with plain text URLs (eg songdetails pages). Just thought I would let you know for future reference.
 
<br><strong>Summary:</strong> You can't use internal links to link to the forum. --[[User:BenS|BenS]] 11:41, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

Andy Bates Questions[edit]

Thanks for the kind words of welcome MitchO! So, a couple of questions: 1. What is the best place to have discussions? I was going to respond to your entry on my Talk page, but I wasn't sure if you would see my response. 2. I can add some info to my entry, but what kind of information do people want to see? Thanks!
