Reply to Unknown Territory (Dick Dale album)|Crow|Thanks for the article!
Hi Crow. Thanks for the kind message. Am trying to do my best. Have been small time editing entries on wikipedia for some years, and have been contributing to several online indexes, but this was my first new wikipedia entry. Later found out that it was no mystery that I couldn't find a way to add a picture, as uploading copyrighted material is solely permitted to accepted contributors (which is a very reasonable decision). As to your question: my source for the information is the actual CD booklet. Should it be added to the source list? Best regards, Claus S., Denmark, Fairplain (talk) 05:27, 23 October 2015 (UTC).

- @Fairplain: Actually, uploading copyrighted materials is not generally permitted to anyone. Wikipedia basically gives itself away for free, so all of the content must be similarly free. Copyrighted stuff is only allowed under very specific circumstances, which you can read about at WP:NFCC. Copyright is a tricky area, so at first it is probably best not to upload anything unless you made it yourself. Feel free to ask me any questions, either here or wherever. If not here, you can "ping" me, like I did to you, which sets off that red Message flag so I see that you're talking to me somewhere. You do that by typing {{ping|Crow}}.

Redirects
It really isn't. If I were to type in Alexander Pavlovic, I don't get anything close to the Aleksandar Pavlović I'm looking for. - A window cleaner me (talk) 21:22, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

- @A window cleaner me: I don't think anyone would have a problem with that kind. But can you honestly say that someone looking for Fa Fa will search for Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa (disambiguation)? CrowCaw 21:26, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
It's unlikely, but it is the line in several songs, yes, eight fas in a row. - A window cleaner me (talk) 21:27, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

- Even in that case, we usually only link/redirect song lyrics if the song is widely known by that string as its name (Teenage Wasteland) otherwise we would quickly fill up with everyone's pet lyric. But even granting this one, as others have said, making a RD for every conceivable spelling, mis-spelling, and mis-pronunciation of someone's name seems excessive. I'm not asking you to defend every one of them, just to think of the odds of that RD ever being hit. CrowCaw 21:37, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
OK, I will be reserved in my choice of redirects. - A window cleaner me (talk) 22:09, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
