[edit] Blue Moon Copyright violations
You added a comment about copright violations at the top of the Blue Moon (beer) article. Could you please use its discussion page to describe exactly what you believe is in violation so it can be removed?
Thanks,

[edit] Neighb'rhood Childr'n
The article List of bands from Oregon is up for deletion, and some of us are in the process of linking the bands in that list to Category:Oregon musical groups or Category:Oregon musicians. I saw you had added Neighb'rhood Childr'n to the list, and I thought they might merit an article. Do you know enough about them to write one? Katr67 18:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- I say go for it, if the Internet sources seem reputable. I just love the idea that a psychedelic band from *Medford*, of all places, (or perhaps Phoenix, if I read correctly) sort of made it.
The list got messed up because there was a blanket decision to delete all "List of bands from" articles and it was deleted without being tagged. So it got recreated as a shadow of its former self, then was deleted again. Recently it was restored in order to promote discussion prior to deletion. You might want to check through the history to see if there is anything else that ought to be saved (via an article and categorization) prior to deletion. Thanks for your input!

[edit] thanks
Thanks for (your attempt) to do something constructive towards helping with the "bot problem". How file uploads are done at Wikipedia leads to many problems, including these clumsy bots. Even worse than the problems caused by the bots is when Wikipedians start making excuses for the failings of the bots rather than fix the problems. Even worse than that is when the Wikipedians who try to fix the problems are "blown off" and told that there is nothing that can be done about the problems...."you must suffer because this is the result of a bad situation that we cannot control". Such "social momentum" towards accepting the failings of systems is not unique to Wikipedia, but in an open community such as Wikipedia we do have a chance to set things right. I hope you are not discouraged from continuing to discuss the problems of Wikipedia and you keep looking for solutions to those problems and helping the community find ways to reach the solutions. --JWSchmidt 16:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
