You're adding a lot of vaguely notable or useful trivia; at the very least, you could cite your sources. --Golbez 22:50, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

My information



Believe it or not, the information I have compiled has come from the Trivial Pursuit Millennium Edition PC Game. All the information I have added to Wikipedia is legitimate information. --Mr. Brain 23:41, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Nellie Ball



I don't see anything wrong with saying "Nellie Ball has a fair share of opponents" as opposed to your version ("Nellie Ball has '''more''' than a fair share of opponents"). It seems that you're just trying to overemphasis the opinion that Nellie Ball does not work. Can we please just stick to the former version. Next time you change it please explain why. Thank you. Bash Kash (talk) 02:12, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

My apologies, I'm truly sorry



Sorry about that, my mistake. It just seemed to me at the time that a vast majority of basketball purists have criticized Nellie Ball. Incidentally, though, I must tell you that I originally wrote "Nellie Ball has a fair share of opponents," and at the time it didn't seem strong enough. Now that I look back, it did seem to overstate the case. What I wrote about Nellie Ball is true, though(I did contribute a lot on the article), especially the part about the offense's deficencies and other facts about Nelson and the offense. I ask that this information not be deleted from the article.Mr. Brain (talk) 04:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

:Hey, no problem. I appreciate your work on the article, actually. I have seen all your additions though the history ↗ of the page. Yes, all of the information you added is indeed correct. One way to ensure that your info does not get deleted is by citing ↗ your sources. Also see WP:RS ↗. Cheers, Bash Kash (talk) 05:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Error in the "Lead guitarists" category page



I notice that George McCorkle's name is above Yngwie Malmsteen's name on the page when it shouldn't be. "Malmsteen" comes before "McCorkle." Can someone please help show me how to put Malmsteen's name above McCorkle's? Mr. Brain (talk) 14:59, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Chuck Schuldiner


The lead guitarists category is, in many current instances, an outdated one; from a time when a band had one guy who played the leads while the other guy played rhythms. In the case of Schudliner and Death, both guitarists (as the band has always had another guitarist besides Schuldiner) are constantly playing single-note parts, rhythms, and 'solos'. To call Schuldiner a 'lead guitarist' is to call all modern metal guitarists 'lead guitarists'. If he was lead, who was following? A Sniper (talk) 16:42, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


If I remember correctly...



Well, Schuldiner should be considered a lead guitarist for his unique guitar solos, which were complex, intricate, and very melodic/symphonic yet lightning fast. If I remember correctly, during his time as frontman of Death, Schuldiner primarily handled a majority of guitar solos on all Death's albums. Whoever was Chuck's co-guitarist on a particular album would handle rhythm duties. True, the co-guitarist would get to play solos occasionally (Andy LaRocque on Individual Thought Patterns and Shannon Hamm on The Sound of Perservance as examples), but Schuldiner played the majority of solos.

Speedy deletion of :Bango (mascot) ↗


48px|left ↗ A tag has been placed on :Bango (mascot) ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, ''etc.'') or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable ↗

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion ↗''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''the talk page ↗''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins ↗ to request that they userfy ↗ the page or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-notability-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="color:green;">Bongo</span> ↗<span style="color:blue;">matic</span> ↗ 13:31, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Hangon tag on :Bango (mascot) ↗


Just to let you know that there's no need for the {{tl|hangon}} tag on this page as the speedy has been declined. I see you re-added after both the speedy and the hangon was removed. This was unecessary as once the speedy tag was removed the hang on had nothing to apply to. Once a speedy has been declined it is normally not eligable for speedy (see WP:DP#Speedy deletion ↗) so there's no need for the hangon to remain. Dpmuk (talk) 10:41, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Userfication and invitation



Are you familar with userfication? It is the wonderful way of developing articles with less risk of deletion? You can create any article with <nowiki>User:Mr. Brain/NAME OF ARTICLE</nowiki> Also, you can retrieve the old articles which were deleted:

|-
|style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 1px solid gray;" |
Many administrators ↗ will be happy to give you a copy of your deleted article, either by putting it on a special user page for you (a process called userfication ↗) or by e-mailing you a copy.

|}

Once you have the article, you can try to resolve the issues why it was deleted.

If you've repaired the article, or you believe the reasons for deleting the article were in error, you can dispute the deletion at Deletion Review ↗. Generally, you must show how the previous deletion(s) were in error, but this is the place to resolve disputes about whether a deletion was wrong.

You don't need the article rescue squadron to retrieve your articles.

Just ask one of these editors for your article:

:there are four versions of your article which were deleted. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ellen%27s_Stardust_Diner&action=edit&redlink=1 ask one of the admins above for the four copies, if you like.

Hi. Your thoughts would be welcome here ↗. Thanks. --<span style="color: green;">Escape Orbit</span> <sup>(Talk) ↗</sup> 14:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. The problem with the actors and entertainers sections has always been where to draw the line. If there ise a website that gives proper coverage (i.e. not just US actors/entertainers) and is authoritative (i.e. its list is based on some kind of factual measure, not just opinions of random people) then we might have a way forward here. Do you have one in mind? --<span style="color: green;">Escape Orbit</span> <sup>(Talk) ↗</sup> 17:22, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Well, I have a couple of websites in mind IMDb ↗ (Internet Movie Database) and Ranker ↗. Ranker features polls on dozens of topics, including entertainment. But I wanted to run it by you first to see if you would accept those sites as reference points. This way, it wouldn't look like I was going rogue. Mr. Brain (talk) 19:40, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Coaching tree ↗



For whom this message may concern, especially any fellow sports fans who may also be Wikipedia members:

I think some serious editing needs to be done on the page for the following article: Coaching tree ↗. On the article's page, the coaching trees of Bill Walsh ↗, Marty Schottenheimer ↗ and Bill Parcells ↗ need to be updated. It's been awhile since any updates have taken place. Also, there's a new section in the article talking about Bill Belichick ↗'s coaching tree. It is a large and far-reaching one due to the fact that Belichick has been an NFL head coach for a very long time now. Can we please find a way to create a coaching tree for Bill Belichick?

If anyone is interested in helping me, please leave me a message on this talk page of mine. Thank you.

Coaching tree



Hi, I left you a message at Talk:Coaching tree#Belichick coaching tree ↗. Thanks! <span style="font-family:Verdana"><b style="color:#004C54">Eagles</b>&nbsp;<b style="color:#004C54">24/7</b></span>&nbsp;<span style="color:#004C54; font-size:x-small">(C)</span> ↗ 22:14, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
:I've uploaded a new tree for Walsh, only going through the second generation and adding a reference for it. The previous graphic was not only out-of-date, as you said, but also incorrect. For example, it showed Jim Fassel ↗ as a direct "branch" for Walsh, but Fassel was never even an assistant under him. I'll work on ones for Schottenheimer and Parcells and add them to the page shortly. I realize you may be disappointed that I am stopping at the second generation, but anything past that is too massive and overly detailed. <span style="font-family:Verdana"><b style="color:#004C54">Eagles</b>&nbsp;<b style="color:#004C54">24/7</b></span>&nbsp;<span style="color:#004C54; font-size:x-small">(C)</span> ↗ 00:46, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

You will make lists with actors/entertainers and musicians and bands in 2000s and 2010s pages?
