The cover you're trying to upload has appeared on many fansites but not on any official source. The Remix cover appears on a retailer (that too a reliable one) and is officiailly confirmed. Please do not upload a 'single' cover again because there isn't one in existance. Lil-unique1 (talk) 11:59, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of U:NNZ

A tag has been placed on U:NNZ, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your reasoning on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

False positive report

The other day you submitted a false positive report because you found yourself unable to edit someone's talk page. If you have not already seen, it was due to an accident in the code of a particular edit filter which was quickly fixed by the MediaWiki software itself. The code has been reverted to the last good version and this should not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however; if people hadn't reported it we wouldn't have known there was a problem. I have removed the false positive reports as I felt it was easier to just go to the people who submitted them directly. —Soap— 23:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Stan Walker Choose You

Hey, just wandering if you were the one that removed the choose you article? It was already approved by an administrator. The song is already released on radios here and in New Zealand, so it'll be making its way in the charts soon. I was going to add more information!! ozurbanmusic (talk)

A song must satisfy WP:NSONGS, which means it has to have charted or won an award, before it is notable enough for its own article. For now you can create a user subpage temporarily, then move or copy-and-paste it later. Adabow(complain) 07:47, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

So when the song has charted then I can submit the article? got it. I'll create it once it's charted. ozurbanmusic (talk)

Commander GAR

Hi Adabow. I just wanted to inform you that I have requested a GAR for "Commander" here. Since you just passed the article as a good article, I just wanted to hear from you as well. Thanks, Corn.u.co.pia • Disc.us.sion 08:13, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Your signature

I'd like to politely request you change your signature, as it goes against the recommendations on WP:SIG quite badly. Red on teal blue and blue on salmon are both very difficult to read, particularly on LCD monitors, and the end result takes up over 3 lines of edit box space. At the very least, could you please sign your name more simply on large project pages such as WP:GAN? --erachima talk 20:16, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

From the inside out article

hey do you have proof that Stan's version of the Feelers song, Stand Up is not on the album? I think it is, because his put his version of Stand Up and Kissing You at the bottom of the playlist as well as Stuck in a Box with Young Sid. ozzyg (talk)

The "Stand Up" on the album is not the cover of The Feelers' song, but a different track altogether. Adabow (talk · contribs) 04:27, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Rude Boy

Hi Adabow! I don't know if you were aware or not, but the current sample of the song is the WHOLE song. Lol. And I noticed you've been notifying users on their talk pages about the article for GA, and it looks quite well. One thing that I'd point out is that the lead needs vastly expanding to cover all aspects. I would include info about the official remix featuring Rick Ross, paraphrase Rihanna's quote about the song while including somethings critics noted about the song. Also at least note one or two live performances about the song in the last sentence of the lead (I would do KCA's and LGOE tour). Happy editing! Candyo32 03:34, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Shit, thanks for the heads-up about the sample length. Don't know why I forgot to trim it.... Thanks also for your feedback about the article. Adabow (talk · contribs) 05:15, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of No Light

The article No Light has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No real notability. Only review appears to be user submitted.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi Adabow,

regarding Halo – if you happen to be in Christchurch, get in touch beforehand if you have a spare evening. My partner used to be a piano teacher and I'm sure she'd love to give you some tips. And it would be nice to meet you. Schwede66 10:45, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Audio has been reuploaded :) Is there anything else that is needed? - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 22:53, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Nearly there! I have replied on the GA talk page. Adabow (talk · contribs) 05:08, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey, unfortunately i cannot lower the quality any more. WP:SAMPLE states "A Vorbis quality setting of 0 (roughly 64kbps) is usually sufficient". The key word is usually, it doesnt have to be that low, for some reason the file on wiki says 100+ and on my Audacity it says 64, if its lowered anymore you wont be able to hear it. I dont know if it has to do with the fact that ive actually bought the song and it cant be lowered any more or what the deal is. Its not a "if this isnt changed the article fails" kind of chane so i dont think its really that detrimental. BTW Happy birthday :) - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 05:21, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it sounds pretty low quality. There are still some prose quality issues on the talk page.
