User talk:JohnRogers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello, John Rogers. Welcome to Wikipedia.
A few tips for you to start going. (I'll send more if I see that I can help you :-)
- Just edit stuff off the cuff for a while. We like that!
- When you have time, check out Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers + the links in there.
- You can sign your stuff on talk pages with ~~~~ It will convert to your username + the time. "anon" is fine too.
- If puzzled, put a question on Wikipedia:Village pump, or feel free to ask me on my talk page if it's a very general question.
- Most of all, have fun but take our work seriously!

Hi John, Blue Amberol Records doesn't make sense at the present. It doesn't mention the article's subject, and appears to be just disc listing. Start with eg Blue Amberol Records is a US(?) record lable whose titles include...
I'm enjoying your contributions. One thing I'm wondering about is that lots of them have lots of unneeded html programing in them;
"”  "
etc. Are you adding those yourself, or is that an artifact of some program you're using? Wondering simply, -- Infrogmation 16:56, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Hi John, nice work except one thing - album and film titles should be italics not quotes. See Wikipedia style guide. Iam 05:34, Oct 19, 2003 (UTC)
...And please use the wiki 2 ' rather than html. Otherwise, keep up the good work! Cheers, -- Infrogmation 01:21, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Also, you've recently been converting song titles to italics -- according to the style guide for titles, song titles should be in "real" quotes rather than italicized (album titles are italicized):
"Red House" first appeared on the Jimi Hendrix album Are You Experienced?.
Perhaps you can reprogram your parser to change these to hard quotes? Jgm 13:30, 27 Oct 2003 (UTC)
You have been doing a lot of good work and I thought I would mention that Tiles 06:55, 31 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Thank you. I find the formatting guide (or is that rules) to be somewhat confusing but the data is worth the effort. If only there was a wiki symbol for Tab (sigh). John Rogers
- There is. the semicolon ":", when it is the first character in a line. Actually, it works like an "indent" function; long lines are also wrapped. Hope this helps. -- Viajero 20:28, 29 Nov 2003 (UTC)
