Reverting
How did u do [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Costessey&diff=prev&oldid=53334255 this]? Did you type that in manually or you have a tool? If the former, you don't need to use that format: the only reason my reverts appear like that is because I have an admins-only rollback button (I can one-click revert). --kingboyk 18:55, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
:Nifty bit of kit, that! I typed it in manually using your edit summary as a model (because it contains all the necessary info, concisely). If it's going to look like I've got unsanctioned reversion tools though, I take it I should rephrase such things in the future? --Vinoir 19:02, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
::No, I didn't mean that - it's just rather a lot of typing if you're doing it manually :) You can use whatever form you like (and if, in due course, you want to be an admin - once you've shown your face around the project a bit more - I'd happily nominate you of course). Yes, it's pretty nifty. I have rollback, delete, view deleted pages, and page protection. Deletion is especially useful for reversing redirects (and I do such things as speedy deletion work sometimes), the other tools are kinda obvious... :)
::You might want to look at PopUps which everyone can use and which I can hardly live without now. You get a one click revert (but it has to edit and save the page) and lots of other features... hover over a link and u can see the intro of the article, click straight through to the talk page/what links here/whatever etc etc. Almost as nifty as my extra buttons! --kingboyk 19:33, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
:::Thank you very much. Invaluable advice as always. Sounds fantastic, I shall investigate right now... --Vinoir 08:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
::::If you don't know how to edit your javascript file let me know and I'll do it for you. --kingboyk 08:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::Bump! --kingboyk 08:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::That is well nifty! You're tremendously helpful, thank you very much indeed! --Vinoir 02:00, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::::If you're using Firefox, you can right click within the Popups menu and select "open in new tab". That's how I navigate my watchlist - it's always open, and I can go straight to a diff, to history, talk page whatever, and have it open in a new tab. --kingboyk 09:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
KLF FA
Hi. We have a detailed critique from a user called Tony. I'll volunteer to fix the redundant wikilinks (the biggest job) would you look at his other issues please? When they're done we can send him a note and ask him to look again, which seems to be how FA works. --kingboyk 08:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yes, it's a very helpful list, is Tony's. I'm already on it actually, but I'll leave the wikilinks to you then. --Vinoir 09:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
::It'll do it in a tool called AWB which shows me the words which have multiple links. Still a boring job but a bit quicker than doing it in a browser. I'll have to do the crap links manually, so if you see any do remove them. (I'd suggest leaving some of the more complicated words such as those describing the modus operandi of the Illumnatus! characters; I've had to click on some of those myself as I didn't know what they meant :)) --kingboyk 09:07, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I've done the link cleaning and removed {{tl|inuse}}. When you've finished what you're doing, perhaps you'd drop Tony a line on his talk page? I've replied to your message re the image on my talk page. --kingboyk 10:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
::::OK, cheers for letting me know. I will sweep through The KLF for commas and then contact Tony. --Vinoir 10:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

:Featured article status for KLF. Well done to you and Kingboyk. What's next ?!
::Thanks! Kingboyk has set up Wikipedia:WikiProject The KLF. I would like to see all the single and album articles become officially "good". There are a few more song/single articles to create. I would also like to see The KLF discography taken as far as it can go. There's some K Foundation articles to consider too. And there may be some point in creating a timeline. --Vinoir 09:46, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

''45'' and meanderings
Hey, if you're reading 45 don't forget to make a note of any quotations we can use (preferably with page numbers) in any of our articles. Book references look more professional than web links I think :)
My copy of 45 is packed away somewhere and has only been read once, because it's signed :P For some crazy reason one of the online retailers (AlphabetStreet, I think now defunct) had some copies signed by Bill at no extra cost. Needless to say I snapped one up.
That reminds me, for quite some time SoS magazine used to sell surplus copies of the original Manual for a fiver a piece! (Which doubly reminds me, about 5 years ago Selectadisc in Berwick St had a big stack of original IGUN CDs for £1.50, and my local record shop Badlands in Cheltenham unearthed a pile of Disco 2000 12"s in their stock room... I might even have one or two spares still lying around...) Now if only they'd find a stack of WTIL? Story CDs... --kingboyk 13:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
:Absolutely. I've begun to shove them in (see for example, at the bottom of The KLF Main Article Rejects Club), and I will definitely be mentioning Richard Long, an artist into journeys and text art that Drummond admires - the continuity of The KLF typeface is relevant to this, for example. Disco 2000? That is surprising.
:This FAC business is a bit of a surprise. There's still a little work to be done (adverts, journeys), but I'm reluctant to do much to the article given the circumstances. Still, it's going okay so far. I've e-mailed Ronnie Randall and am awaiting his reply with interest.
(hi, excuse the butt-in/edit but I AM actually the RONNIE RANDALL to whom you refer here... so whoever you are who says you are awaiting my response with interst, perhaps you might send the original query to me at ronnie.randall@gmail.com and tell me what you are asking me about?. I receiv an email from someone at Wikipedia well over a year ago - probably in late 2005, asking if my photo of Bill D and Jimmy C, which has been used as the illustration in the Wikipedia KLF article, can be used (it alreads being)... I objected, since the photo was originally stolen from me, initially by an Austrian label for use as the cover image of the 12inch of WHAT TIME IS LOVE - completely without my knowledge, in the 80's - which by amazing chance I saw in a 2nd hand shop in London maybe a year later (the only reason I knew about it). That image appears to have gone on and on being ripped off, while I never ever received any money from anywhere at all for taking it/doing the job, and even my old photo Agency - LFI - supposedly 'lost' the negatives - coincidentally just as I switched to a rival agency. So, on principle, I do not wish to see my copyright work being used by ANYONE whatsoever, in any form, except in my personal portfolio. I have responded to the initial email from Wikipedia lister three times over the 18 months or so - to date - since that communication, yet the photo remains up, and no response has ever been sent back to me with regard my opinion, objection to its use and continued concern. COMMUNICATION OVER AND OUT)
:Hi Ronnie. Sorry about that. I really wasn't aware of your subsequent e-mails - I've not received them, strangely. The image to which I was referring in my original request has long gone from the pages of Wikipedia. It was the close shot of Bill in profile with Jimmy in a KLF top in the background. Nice shot, by the way, which is why we wanted to use it. That is the image that appears on the Austrian "What Time Is Love" 12". I respected your plight in that regard and the image was deleted. That was all less than a year a ago, amazingly, but it certainly seems longer!
:The image currently being used on the page The KLF is the "Why Sheep?" photograph that appears in the inner sleeve of The KLF's "The White Room" LP. If you happen to be the owner of "Why Sheep?" too, then if you'll please confirm this I'll seek guidance on the next steps. --Vinoir 17:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
:A case for the personnel going in The KLF discography is that it is from the sleevenotes and labels that we get much of our personnel info. If we mentioned that, then the list would surely not seem out of place. --Vinoir 13:13, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar
Gosh. Thank you very much for the 'award'. It left me a bit speechless to be honest - so the wife is not complaining either !
Best Wishes, as ever.

Illuminatus!
Didn't you say you haven't read Illuminatus!. For a guy who hasn't read the trilogy you sure know a lot about it! Perhaps I'm going mad, or perhaps you've been swotting up? :) --kingboyk 15:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
:I swotted. :-) All for the cause. I expect I'll read it one day though. :-| I'm off camping until Monday, trying to find my copy of Wild Highway to take with me. Have a good weekend mate. --Vinoir 16:53, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
::Lucky you! Enjoy. (Oh and let me know how Wild Highway is, I haven't got round to buying that one yet). --kingboyk 16:56, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
