Thanks

Dear Colin, I just wanted to thank you for your vote and constructive comments regarding the article IPA2. I wish you success and all the best. -DrMoslehi 22 September 2006, 03:47 (UTC+3:30)

Dear Colin,

I really did not get the impression you had wanted to keep my article and soothe my feeling, etc. I just thanked for the time you spent giving your opinion (to contribute to Wikipedia) and the instructions you gave (to guide others how to contribute). In case of Shashank, I just thanked to be grateful and when I used 'fan-style' I used the exact description. I did not give my opinion on whether showing fan-style support is good or bad (although you might think it as a kind of confirmation which in this case I really did not mean). -DrMoslehi 26 September 2006, 04:08 (UTC+3:30)

Mutiny of Colours

hi dear colinfine I talked to Sandstein about this article "mutiny of colour" and he told me the problem was with links but i think there is Enough link to make an article about that topic so it will be nice if you tell me how can i recreate the article here is some links can you check theme for me thanks a lout

i believe LSD Magezin and funkhauseuropa.de are good Enough thanks again (213.207.245.245 (talk) 19:55, 28 April 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Hello, Mahan khomamipur (I presume this is you). It would have helped if you reminded me what this is about. The first reference is to imdb, which is not regarded as a reliable source because anybody may edit it. Widewalls magazine looks as if it is reliable (they seem to exercise editorial control) but it simply mentions Mutiny of Colours in passing, so it is not a useful reference for anything. LSD Magazine looks like a reliable source; but on reading the article it appears it is written by the film-makers which means it is not an independent source. It can be used to support certain information in the article, but does not contribute to notability, because it is not substantial writing about the film by somebody unconnected with it. The same is true, I think, of urbanshit. Funkhauseuropa also looks like a reliable source, but as far as I understand the German, I don't think the article is really about the film, but about the situation the film is addressing. The HipHop item is only a few lines about the film.

So, from what I can see, No, you have not yet found substantial writing about the film (not about Iran or about graffiti, or even about graffiti in Iran, but about this film) written by people unconnected with the film; and until you do find this, the film will not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability. Sorry. --ColinFine (talk) 22:35, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

thanks a lot now I understand what kind of link should I search for best regards (Mahan khomamipor (talk) 10:06, 29 April 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Questions about using the Teahouse re Missing or Empty | Title

Dear ColinFine, I wrote my thanks on the Teahouse by using the "Join this discussion" link.

 1. Earlier, when I'd tried to thank first-responder KylieFantastic by editing, I  ended up deleting everything above my response and 
 you had to restore it. The reason I did that is that I initially couldn't submit, and I thought maybe I needed to delete the other 
 posts.  Wrong.  
 2.  I clicked on 'edit' next to this discussion title and got a different conversation.  That's odd because when I hover over 'edit' 
 it shows the right title.  Maybe I need to fix the link but I'm not going to make things worse YET.

(I like formatting -- indents, lists WITHOUT blank lines around them, etc. -- although I understand that the inventors of html didn't. That amazes me because surely they were visual thinkers and appreciated skimmability. But maybe not. Anyway, for some odd reason, my attempt at tabbing points 1 and 2 put them in a gray box and pushed additional lines of each item off the screen. I solved that by adding a hard return and some more blanks. Now I'll preview it again. Yes, carriage returns and leading blanks renders all the text visible.) These observations did not seem worthy of Teahouse inclusion so I am using talk. I apologize in advance if that's wrong. And thanks again for your good information and your patience. If I figure out Barnstars, I'll add one! RitaBook (talk) 14:28, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1. Thanks for replacing the title here (or was that done by a bot?) 2. Found the CHEATSHEET. [link omitted, although the cheatsheet teaches that...] It doesn't answer the gray box question but now I can indent. Yay!RitaBook (talk) 14:43, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
