[edit] Sanctuary
Wecome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing.
This is just a note that I moved your addition to Milton Keynes from the History of Bletchley (pre-1966) into the "Popular Culture" section, which I think is a better place for it. I hope you agree. I've also added categories to your Sanctuary article - you might like to follow the Dance category to see if the rave scene is properly represented or can be improved. You might want to add a reference in the main Bletchley, Milton Keynes article too. --Concrete Cowboy 14:35, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
Thanks for contributing the picture of the Sanctuary. Unfortunately, you don't say that you took it yourself (I assume you did) and that you are contributing it under GPL or similar. You need to tag it to say so - I suggest that you just copy what I did for my Pagoda picture here. (I copied from someone else, so don't claim any credit). --Concrete Cowboy 14:51, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] history of the British electronic music scene
Steve - the best suggestion is that you just fire ahead. The only rule is Wikipedia:No original research, which means that you can draw on published sources but you can't do vanity publishing. You may not copy other peoples work, which means that there has to be a fair amount of latitude in what you write. For example, your article on the Sanctuary is fine as it stands, but if you wanted to give a figure for how many people danced themselves to death, you would have to cite your sources - it couldn't be based on your own survey of doormen! Of course you don't want to duplicate work that someone else has already done under a slightly different title, so have a search first. A good way to start is to branch off from an existing article - you don't really want to spend hours on an article that nobody can ever find. Ideally, make contact with some editors who are writing articles about the same thing - how about starting with the people who wrote the club and DJ articles that you linked to from Sanctuary. Good luck!--Concrete Cowboy 23:49, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Noted articles
Steve, if you are assembling material for an article, I notice Bouncy Techno and Godskitchen have links to Milton Keynes. --Concrete Cowboy 18:05, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- Steve - as soon as you think an article is no longer a stub, just delete the stub tag at the end of the article.
[edit] Conversations
If you want to start a new conversation on someone's talk page, just click the + sign on the top row. Or cheat, like I've done now, and add to the end of an existing article using a normal section heading (==New topic== or ===new subtopic===)
- Have you noticed the "No Ws" button [W over stamped with a traffic "don't" sign) at the top of the edit window? It means "nowiki", meaning "I want to give an example of wiki syntax, but I don't want wiki to interpret it. Next to the "No Ws" button, the "scribble" button inserts a signature - marginally faster than typing four ~s! --Concrete Cowboy 17:50, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Electronic dance music
Steve, right now, the electronic dance music is a feeble redirect to Electronic music, which is really about technology and "modern classical". It could do with a load of stuff about House, Garage, Techno, Trance, UK Garage et cetera etc --Concrete Cowboy 16:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image Tagging Image:Sanctuaryfront.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sanctuaryfront.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Dethomas 22:08, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
