Welcome!

Hi HarryCane, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

  • RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.
  • Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.
  • Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.
  • Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.
  • Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Nothing Gold Can Stay Query

I appreciate your messaging me but I don't understand why what I did was "all wrong" and something that I "Can't Do". The album is named for the poem which pre-dates it by several years, it makes no sense to have an article based upon a name-sake, reference to 'Nothing Gold Can Stay' as the main article and the original work and source of the name as a subsiduary article. An original work will clearly take precedent over later references to the work in any encylopaedia, the New Found Glory article being there first makes no difference to this. You also did a very messy job on your revert, needlessly removing clearly pertinent links to Robert Frost and his poem as well as leaving many links going to the wrong place which you didn't bother to fix. If you're going to make changes you could at least do so without reducing the usefulness of numerous other articles in the process.

Nothing Gold Can Stay redux

Hello, HarryCane. I thought I'd inform you that User:MagicBez has requested outside assistance at WP:MEDCAB regarding the article Nothing Gold Can Stay. I just wanted to run a suggestion by you, and see if you'd be alright with it.

You were correct in reverting his change to the article, as he cut and pasted the text rather than properly moving the entire thing. However, I don't think the article should stay where it is. I would personally change it to a disambiguation page, with the current text moved to Nothing Gold Can Stay (album) and with Robert Frost's poem at Nothing Gold Can Stay (poem). Are you okay with that? Robert T | @ | C 05:25, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. (I also left a note on MagicBez's talk page about this as well.)

NGCS (aside)

Just to satisfy my own curiosity, what was the "false information" that I put into the album article?MagicBez 05:24, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

NGCS (aside)

I'll do a google later and find an interview where the band talk about it. It's a very famous poem and the album (and album cover image) are a direct reference to the message of the poem. Chances are that they referenced it via the Outsiders "stay gold ponyboy" and all that but that's where the title comes from.

NGCS (aside)

OK a very quick google search turned up this quote from the QandA section of newfoundglory.com: "I was sitting in English class the other day and my teacher gave us a poem to read... Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost and I was wondering if you named your album after that or is it totally irrelevant? (asked by dropkicktims)" STEVE: Indirectly it is named after the poem, but we really did it because of the movie "The Outsiders."

Members x Line-up

While it is perfectly fine to use Members, that's what we normally use for "groups". In the case of "bands", we generally use Line-up. Regards, --Sn0wflake 16:16, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have nothing to do with that project overthrown by clueless newbies, and as such, consider anything which comes from it as non-canon. Do whatever you want, this encyclopedia is coming apart anyway. Nobody gives a fuck anymore. Forget I gave you a suggestion. --Sn0wflake 16:06, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Starting Line Spam?

Hey, I wasn't trying to spam anything, A bunch of people messaged me from livejournal and recommended that I change the picture, as they thought it was better than what was up there previously... No harm meant :-)

User:HarryCane/images

Hi, since we are not allowed to display fair use images on user pages and user subpages (see Wikipedia:Fair use#Fair use policy) I took the liberty of turning your image gallery into a list of links instead. If any of them where free licensed feel free to place those images in a gallery, but leave the fair use ones as a list. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 00:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hellogoodbye Lowercase title

The band's name is not capitalized. It should be hellogoodbye and not Hellogoodbye. I had changed all of the problems with the capitalization until you decided it was necessary to undo everything I did. If you need proof, here are some sites that can prove it;

Okay...

So I guess it's okay for others to keep editing information you scold me about, incorrectly I may add. Right. Whatever. RattleandHum

Starting Line tracks

Where is this Wikipedia policy you speak of? And what common usage are you referring to? Every band page I see on here lists songs that are not on any of their albums. I don't understand what the problem is. These songs were recorded for "Based on a True Story" but were cut when the album was released. They have since been RELEASED BY THE BAND on their webpages. It's not like these songs are bootlegged live recordings or anything like that. I'll put this in the Starting Line discussion page and see what others have to say so this dispute can be worked out.

Yellowcard

Hi, there! I saw that you've contributed to the Yellowcard page. I've been working hard all weekend to get it into an encyclopedia-worthy article, and I think we're almost there!

There's a short list of things that still need some work at the bottom of the talk page. If you could take a look at it, maybe add more things to do, or clean up whatever you see needs work, I would sure appreciate it.

Thanks for your help. Have an awesome day! Cathryn 10:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The All-American Rejects

Please do not revert my copyediting on this article. I realized that you have the most edits to that article, but you do not own the article. Therefore, let other people make necessary (especially copyediting) style changes. You reverted a good faith edit and treated as if it was vandalism. Please reply here on your talk page if you have any questions or comments for me. Thanks. Sarbox 17:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
