Congrats on your awards!

Wow, awesome work getting that award there Miss Bono! Ultra Violet Light 18:52, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Ultra Violet Light... Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:05, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Style?

Re: your remark on the WP:RD/Miscellaneous#A Restaurant name thread - I'd say, not so much a style of written expression but more of an m.o. Do I recall correctly you initially (?) mentioned that you're researching content for a novel you're writing? It's an interesting approach, and numerous RD regulars participate willingly in fielding your queries. So you're in good company.-- Deborahjay (talk) 07:56, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Home

Hello Miss Bono,

After a 4-1/2 hour flight delay, I arrived home yesterday. I am feeling a bit jet lagged and tired, but returning to work today. It was a wonderful trip. I had a lot less internet access than I expected.

I hope that you are well. What award did you receive? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 15:03, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I see it above. Excellent interview! Cullen328 Let's discuss it 15:04, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Go to http://stats.grok.se/en/201210/ and put in the name of the article as it appears in WP. Chose the correct date range, and hit go.

Oh, Medeis I guess I won't be able to do it, I am at work and I don't have Internet here. But thanks for the help. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 16:00, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Prologue

Yes, please send it. Thanks. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 19:03, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

I received it and will copy edit it this evening. Are you able to receive emails now, or should I post where we share things here? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 19:52, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
I can reaceive emails day in day out. Can't exactly say when I am able, so... you can post it here and send a copy via email. Have you read it yet? Does is have a hook? Is it boring. My mind is completely blocked... I cannot think. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 20:00, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I read it and think that it is an excellent start. By the way, that is an interesting list of books below. I have read many of them. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 20:04, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
I've been sharing thoughts on books with Medeis, who has read a lot and I am just a beginner :)... She is pretty cool! Oh, Jim... I am still thinking about a name for the band, I need your help on that. Nothing fits... Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 20:08, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
How about "V3", or "T1"? That is a joke. But I copyedited the prologue. That is not a joke. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:55, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Hahahaha, it is curious because myself and my friends (my best friends) were joking about that and we thought exactly in those same names LOL... Is that obvious? lol Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 11:55, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Medeis This one> Native Son, caught my attention. What is it about? : Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:54, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
It is a Black (African American) Novel with a depressing story. The only people I have seen read it were college students who had to read it for class. If you want to read Black American authors who write about the "Black Experience" the only writer I can personally recommend is Langston Hughes. μηδείς (talk) 20:17, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
That's not fair, it's a great book (and a decent movie) that I've read several times. It delves in race, class, gender and crime during the mid-20th century in the U.S.. Yes, the ending is sad but life is sad. Most of these books have sad endings. That doesn't mean they aren't worth reading. Liz Read! Talk! 22:48, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Native Son

Native Son is a novel about a young African-American living in poverty in Chicago in 1940, who turns to crime. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 20:10, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict) :There is a song by U2, an early version of Vertigo that is named Native Son. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the novel. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 20:16, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Citizen of the Galaxy on the list above is one of my favorite books of childhood. It is the story of a boy in the distant future, who was captured as a baby and sold into slavery on another planet. It tells how he gains his freedom, travels from planet to planet learning about various cultures, and eventually discovers his family background. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 20:14, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
That sound pretty awesome. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 20:16, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Yes, Citizen of the Galaxy is one of my favorite novels by far, and I have read it as recently as in my 40's. I would probably rank it as Heinlein's 5th best book, and he is my third favorite author behind Rand and Tolkien, and my favorite science fiction author. μηδείς (talk) 20:24, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Isn't that the author of Stranger in a Strange Land ??: Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 20:27, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Yes, my top four by him are Time Enough for Love, Stranger in A Strange Land, Farnham's Freehold, and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. They are all available in Spanish too, except maybe Farnham. Oh, and I forgot Friday. Put Citizen of the Galaxy just after those. μηδείς (talk) 21:03, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Oh I have that one (Time Enough For Love), in Spanish :) Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 11:57, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Just curious, but who put these lists together? Was it a literary society or a general poll of the American public or a Wikipedia Editor's opinion? Liz Read! Talk! 22:52, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

email

Is there a way I could email you pdf's of books? μηδείς (talk) 17:21, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi μηδείς, there are problems with the servers that provides the email service, so I disabled the option here because I will change account pretty soon, I don't know when, I will let you know. But with my oldest account I could only receive 3Mb, I guess a book is bigger than that. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 17:35, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

PDF's are usually smaller than that unless they have a lot of images. (I could potentially send text or pdf.) I want to send you some of the books I have recommended on writing in PDF form (they are excellent books, no just very, veryt, good) so let me know when I can do this. μηδείς (talk) 20:52, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

I downloaded the movie and am about 30 minutes into it. Interesting so far. μηδείς (talk) 16:41, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

μηδείς Told you! :D The man is great [Coelho]. How long did it took downloading? Was it fast? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 16:43, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
I don't usually pay attention to how long, maybe 30 minutes. It is not a very good definition download. I usually watch things I have already downloaded earlier while the new item is downloading. μηδείς (talk) 17:35, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
μηδείς did you finish the movie? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 15:07, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

is wrong. it calls BASEPAGENAME, which is the talk page where it is posted and not the template itself. It is easy to fix, but I want to check out other similar WikiLove templates to see how they work. :D –pjoef (talk • contribs) 17:56, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

You do not need a new template to do that. If you wnat to send that kind of message just use:
{{subst:Blank WikiLove
| border-color  = #1d6700
| border-width  = 3px
| bg            = #b2d8a4

Londres, 21 oct (PL) La superbanda irlandesa U2 compuso una canción especialmente para la película Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, un filme biográfico sobre el legendario luchador antiapartheid.El tema Ordinary Love es la primera grabación original de U2 en tres años, aunque se desconoce si será incluido en el álbum que el grupo espera terminar de grabar en noviembre próximo.
Un extracto del tema pudo escucharse en el tráiler de este filme sobre Nelson Mandela, que toma su nombre de la autobiografía del líder surafricano.
Anant Singh, productor de la cinta, señaló que existe una amistad entre U2 y Mandela, quienes estuvieron juntos en una visita a Robben Island, donde Madiba -como llaman al líder- pasó 27 años preso.
La banda graba actualmente un disco que el bajista Adam Clayton consideró una suerte de híbrido entre el ímpetu inicial de U2 y la madurez interpretativa alcanzada.
I omitted some things that sure you know. :-) --CStaff (talk) 14:11, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

You seem to be worried, but there's no need. Why not have a nice cup of tea and relax? Nothing bad is going to happen for an online Halloween prank. (I guess it's like Technical 13 said...) You're doing good work on Wikipedia -- keep it up! – Quadell (talk) 16:03, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I like investigating. That's one reason I love Wikipedia. I thought I remembered you putting that quote on your user page a while back, so I searched "Miss Bono worry" in Wikipedia's search bar, and it came right up. :) – Quadell (talk) 18:26, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Your email this morning

Hello, Miss Bono. I replied in the usual place. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 19:24, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Have you ever had the chance to see U2 in concert?

So, I thought I would ask you this and tell you about the time I got to see them in Sacramento at Arco Arena. It started out really bad when we got to our seats, but...in a way it was sort of cool...you see our seats were almost directly behind the stage. The opening act was No Doubt and once they started performing it became pretty clear these seats sucked! LOL! Close to the stage but, who wants to watch an entire concert (that was NOT cheap) from behind the stage. I do that when I don't have a ticket. LOL!

So, I went to one of the ushers ad asked if we could get our money back (not really wanting that outcome) and sure enough they moved all of us in that section to seats that were "No show". Our new seats were actually great floor seats. The concert was much better after that. Most of the rest of the night is somewhat a blur......--Mark Miller (talk) 00:32, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

A Thousand Times Goodnight

Hello Miss Bono,

Yes, the film is certainly notable, and I am starting to read reliable sources. It already won an award at a film festival in Montreal. I have a couple of opthalmology appointments today, and have to get my eyes dialated. So my vision may not be the greatest. But I will read as much about the film as I can. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 21:22, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

I am in between appointments, but my mobile phone battery is about 25%. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 21:25, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
I had three eye tests today, two of which were unpleasant. The third was almost an hour late, involved dialation of my eyes, and repeated photos of my optic nerves taken with very bright flashes. Painfully bright. When I left, everything I saw was red, pink and rose colored, including all the buildings and the sky. So I was disoriented for hours.
When I felt a bit better, I read as much as I could find about the film. Coverage of the film so far is scanty. It was made in English by a Norwegian company, and got some attention at two film festivals. Some Irish government money was invested. It is supposed to be in theaters now, but it must be a very limited release. There is no listing on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite featuring a major movie star, and a rock star, it seems "under the radar" at present. Do you know anything more? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:37, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Jim I hope you are feeling better by today. I hate when I have to get my eyes dialated, I can't stand seeing blurred things... so you kind of got into a psychedelic world after those bright flashes... that remainds me of a special part of Across the Universe (film). I can't imagine how painful it was, but I hope you get better :)
I don't know much about the film. Take a look at my sandbox. I started it yesterday. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 12:05, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

You are now allowed to use EdwardsBot for sending mass-messages. Please do not abuse of this :D
The test (below) was a fiasco (a big failure) and the message was sent to all the inactive users of the project. Shame on me! I have now fixed the problem simply by adding a new list at Wikipedia:WikiProject U2/Outreach/newsletterdelivery. The disadvantage of this is that new members are NOT automatically added to this list. The advantages are that a member of the project can unsubscribe to the newsletter and that a wikipedian can subscribe to the newsletter without having to participate to the project. The newsletter is ready to be sent. We need to decide the format of the message to send out. In my opinion, we can choose between two formats: The Signpost and the Punk Zine.

The first use the following format: 

<div style="-moz-column-count:2; -webkit-column-count:2; column-count:2;">
{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/{{subst:#time:Y-m-d|-{{subst:#time:N}} days +1 days}}}}
</div><!--Volume 9, Issue 42-->
<div class="hlist" style="margin-top:10px; font-size:90%; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
* '''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost|Read this Signpost in full]]'''
* [[Wikipedia:Signpost/Single|Single-page]]
* [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Subscribe|Unsubscribe]]
* ~~~~
</div>

which produces:

While the latter substitutes a page containing the following code: 

[[File:Underground alt.png|{{{align|center}}}|{{{size|500px}}}|link=Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music/Zine]]
<big><center>

pjoef, I love the Punk Zine format, I am making a badge right now for it. Just wait and I will upload it within a few minutes... Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 15:18, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

No, no, please. I would like to publish this issue as it is now. We just have to decide the format for the message. For the next newsletter I would like to change its format in a more Wikiproject/Wikipedia than U2 oriented way. Instead of uploading another image, I think it would be better to replace the existing one by making it higher, adding something like "The Wikiproject U2 Newsletter That You Can Edit", and by removing the other image from the header. This needs a proper and new "badge" page to run and I do not know its size, and I'm not ready for this, right now. Also, I've substituted your "Featured content" image with "The Album" because "Best Picture" (probably "Best Quote", and "DYKs" are also featured contents (featured on the newsletter, of course). So we have to decide if it's worth moving all the featured contents on one side or not. But, this will be a matter for the next newsletter. Please, help me with the message to send. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 19:15, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Notice that you are using uppercase and lowercase letters for titles/headers, which is not good. I'm referring to: "From the Editors", "Best quote", "Best Picture", "Featured article", "Did you know...", "U2 News", "Project News", "Member News", and "New members", and their images. See MOS:HEAD, The Signpost, and the Main Page. The last part uses the class="hlist" that does not like long phrases because it tries to unwrap the words in each item within the list (FIXED), but this is just a very first draft. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 19:15, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Lou Reed

Yes, I got very emotional when I heard that Lou Reed died. He was totally authentic, and the music always came first for him, with the "music business" and the trappings of success second. I was blown away when I first heard the Velvet Underground album with the banana cover by Andy Warhol. It must have been 1969 and I was 17. His voice has always given me shivers. A real loss. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 15:11, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Yeah Jim, the man was great... so true and fantastic. I enjoy listening to the Velvet Underground's music... and I really really really love "Walk On The Wild Side" --by the way, it's been played as I write this comment-- ... Yesterday when I read about his death I was like, OMG what happened??!!... everything can change in an instant... when you less expect it. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 15:23, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
He had been fighting liver cancer, I believe. Not sure of the exact cause of death. By the way, I will add sources to your sandbox draft later. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 17:04, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I read it this morning in our Lou Reed article. I am so sad. I told the news to my co-worker, she didn't know who was Lou Reed but I had to get that off my chest. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 17:09, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Halloween

Hello Laura,

Thank you for the bat! I am dressed in a long sleeved orange t-shirt and I am also wearing a black scarf that has skulls on it. The skulls look like the sugar skulls for the Mexican Holiday Dia de las Muertes. Jim and I will be dressing up as pirates tonight, not sure what David will do. There will be lots of children coming over to "beg" for candy. We have dressed up for Halloween for many years. I'd love to hear what you do in Cuba for Halloween! Sending you hugs across the miles. ChesPal (talk) 17:53, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi ChesPal! Pirates are cool! Right now I am at work in a pair of jeans and an orange t-shirt (short sleeved) and my pair of brown Chucks, listening to a really sad song, trying to write something on my novel, I've changed the plot 180 degrees. Sadly we usually don't celebrate Halloween, I wish we did. I would like to be dressed up as a female version of The Fly. I am going to buy a pumpkin but that's all. Anyways I am excited about Halloween even if we don't celebrate it here. Sending hugs as well. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 18:03, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi Laura, Jim mentioned your novel to me a few times. I have a few of favorite romance novelists. Let me know if you'd like some help withe the writing, as I'm more familiar with this type of venue than Jim.ChesPal (talk) 20:44, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Images issue

(I'm moving this discussion to your page, just cuz. Hope it's okay.)

So, I am bored and got nothing to do, and as I cannot be still, I was thinking about making some Photoshop work to create a Comic image of MacPhisto and The Mirror Ball Man, as we don't have free pictures and they were important parts of ZooTV Tour.

I did get dressed up. My wife and I went as the beginning and end points on a Google Maps driving directions route. We wore big "A" and "B" circles, with shirts that had streets on them. It was fun. (By the way, remember Silver And Gold on Rattle And Hum, where Bono preached against apartheid? Then he ended with "Am I buggin' you? I don't mean to bug you. Okay, Edge, play the blues." Your comment reminded me of that.) – Quadell (talk) 15:17, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

San Francisco to Dublin

When my wife and I flew back from Dublin to San Francisco 32 years ago, we changed planes in Los Angeles. We had previously come from Cairo, changing planes in London. Today, there are no non stop flights from California to Dublin. Most people stop in New York. Some fly first to London, Paris or Amsterdam, but that involves doubling back, for a longer total flight. There are many possible airlines. Shannon is the other major airport in the Republic of Ireland.

When I am on a long flight, I usually buy the New York Times at the airport, and read pretty much every article. If it happens to be a Sunday, the newspaper is three times bigger. I also bring a book or a magazine too. I might watch the in-flight movie but don't enjoy movies on the plane that much because of the engine noise. Sometimes I listen to music, but mostly I read. As I am quite tall, I feel very cramped. If I am at a window seat, I look out the window just after takeoff and just before landing, but the view is boring from up high. Many people sleep, but I can't. I will have a whiskey, usually with ginger ale, when they serve drinks. I just wait for the flight to be over. It is uncomfortable, but I am always grateful to be traveling 100 times faster than our ancestors, safely 99.9999% of the time. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 08:06, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Oh, great ideas.
I have to ask you something... how was Cairo? I've always wanted to visit pyramids, did you enter to one of them? Ancient Egypt is one of my hobbies, I love to read about it. Did I tell you that I won a Provincial contest about the topic? I couldn't take the National because I got sick and I was taken to hospital. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 13:23, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

WPU2 colours?

Wikipedia:WikiProject U2 uses different colours for headers and background, than in Outreach and collaboration of the month/fortnight departments.

WPU2 [edit]
Outreach

What's your favourite? –pjoef (talk • contribs) 13:35, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

pjoefThe one for WP:U2, I tried to find the proper colours to use them in the Outreach and Collaboration of the month but I couldn't find it. I want to help with the draft of the newsletter, what can I do? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 13:39, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Also, I have a question; if I want to add some quote boxes, one next to the other, what's the code for it? I mean, just like you did with the headers of the WP and the Departments but with quote boxes. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 13:41, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Whatever you want, of course! :D
Generally by enclosing your contents in a floating div: <div style="float: right; width: 34%; margin: 0 0 .4em .4em">contents...</div>, or by using tables. For templates, it depends from the template itself (see their documentations, or provide me the link or name). –pjoef (talk • contribs) 13:54, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
pjoef,
{{Quote box|width=27%|align=right|quote="..QUOTE.."|source=—Who on what?, When?}}
pjoef Can I add the quote I added the other day back?, it is most interesting than see the stones... Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 14:13, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
{{Quote box}} has a lot of options including align=left|center|right and width=34%. The qutation is from Wikipedia:WikiProject_U2/Outreach/newsletterfebruary08, but there is no problem.... What about the header and the font-family (Georgia, Palatino)? And, the articles below? Anyway, I'm expanding all that department taking The Signpost as the source. For the issue's theme (or featured content) —it is also from that unpublished newsletter— I have this idea: the theme will include the LEAD section of the related article, best picture/quote/DYKs, whenever it is possible, and article's milestones, graphs, and statistics, interviews with editors, as the opening article of each issue. I'm thinking about other articles/sections (News and notes; WikiProject; From the editors; ...). Many parts are under construction or point to the Signpost original. And there is so much to do. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 14:52, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
pjoef I will add the lines from "Running to Stand Still", then. I'll try with that option. I like Palatino for the headers and a different font for the body.
I like your idea very much, let me know if I can do something to help. Oh, I have to ask, do we have graphs and statics in WP:U2 article? and we only have 2 interviews for the Signpost, where are we going to get another interview with the editors?... I can't wait to see how the newsletter is going to look like yay!!! Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 15:15, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
Editors of the Outreach department (aka you :D) will interview top contributors to the featured article (or issue's theme) (The Joshua Tree in this very case). Statistics are available from various tools. I don't think we have graphs (eventually at wikicommons). How about BODY #0, 1 & 2? What's your favourite? I'm working on BODY #2 :D ... I'm working hard on BODY #2 (^____________^)...! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 19:10, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
pjoef body 2 is great. I don't know if those editors would like to give an interview, you know? They don't talk much to newbies like me. I don't think they care for the WP:U2 anymore, they didn't even pay attention to the Signpost interview. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:20, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
This is not a problem at all, and, with a service period of 1 year, you are a Grognard Extraordinaire :D! Do you know the names of the fonts used by U2 for their logos and albums covers? I like Georgia, which is my favourite and most used font and by long time, but I don't like how it represents numbers jointly with uppercase letters (1234567890; u2 U2; 6 November 2013; A1B2C3D4E5F6G7H7I8J9K0L). What's the name of sans-serif font you used for this image and the name of the cursive font used for other images within the newsletter?
I will now remove BODY #0 & #1 from the draft (and also headers and others duplicates). The full-width black stripe[s]/DIVs has several functions or features: 1. acts as a separator between different pages/articles; 2. it is not printed; 3. recalls the cover of The Joshua Tree (but it is not necessary and can be removed). –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:00, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
pjoef Why thanks! But even if I am waht you said, there are people ignoring me. :D. This is the font they used for How To Dismantle an Atominc Bomb and I love it Clarendon_(typeface), I don't have it installed in my PC and don't know where you can get it, but wait... Internet is magic :O....File:U2.svg. I will ahve to open the sorftware I used for that image to try to find that font :D... As for the black line, I would prefer something like this ----, which I am sure you know it produces this:

Egypt

It is tough to judge a country when you visited there 32 years ago, and the visit was only for about 8 days. But it was fascinating, and we have wonderful memories. Cairo was interesting but a gigantic city with people living in old tombs. I am sure the population is much greater now. In Giza, we climbed up inside a pyramid, visiting the hidden burial chamber. It was a hot, sweaty climb, but worth it. We still have a beautiful little sculpture that we got there, of a cross-legged melon vendor. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 08:21, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Oh great! Sleep well. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 13:30, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
      • Giza, which is where the pyramids are (many of them), is located quite a distance from the city of Cairo. I remember when we climbed inside the Pyramid of Cheops how hot it was. My sandals actually got squishy. The Sphinx is nearby, and it is, in some ways, bigger than I expected. As for the camel, I never rode one when we were in Israel. I decided to do so at the pyramids. The camel ride was very bumpy and you're up much higher than on a horse. It was an interesting experience. As we traveled around Egypt we also saw Abu Simbal, the Valley of Kings which is where the tomb of King Tut was discovered. We took a ride along the Nile in a falukka which was wonderful. I'll try and add more information later today, as I want to think a bit more about our trip to Egypt. ChesPal (talk) 18:55, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

"Give it up"

Hi Miss Bono

I don't remember hearing this phrase when I was young, so I suspect it has become popular in the past 25 or 30 years. It means "give the performer your applause and cheers". It is used pretty much only by a master of ceremonies (MC), and I think I might have first heard it from Sinbad. I think that there is something a bit strange about it, implying that the audience is stingy with applause, and needs a cheerleader. Or maybe that's just me. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 18:30, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Oh Jim, I heard it in a concert by U2 were Bono's daughter danced and at the end he said "Give it up for little Eve". I have finished my new article, I created along with Ultra Violet Light, he has helped me a lot with the research, you know my Internet access issue. Ult keeps helping me to expand it. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:33, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
Cullen328, you have completely changed my notion of that phrase haha. No problem Miss B :D Ultra Violet Light 20:13, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
What did that mean to you Ult? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 20:16, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
To me it was a performer's way of saying "Round of applause for x" but now "Give it up" sounds weird when asking for applause. Ultra Violet Light 20:19, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
Sorry for messing with your mind, Ultra Violet Light. I am reporting the connotations called up in my own mind, which is already messed up. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 22:10, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello again Miss Bono, over at the teahouse you mentioned you were thinking of putting something on your userpage, and did not want others to be able to copyright it. As folks there explained, when you click that 'save page' button, whatever you just uploaded is being saved under a special type of content-license known as copyleft. It *uses* the foundations of copyright law, but it reverses the usual effect, so that anybody else can copy/remix/whatever with your upload.

If you want to maintain copyright-ownership, so that others cannot copy without paying you money (or at least getting permission first in writing), then wikipedia is not the place to upload. You can always start a blog, or use one of the make-your-own-website-in-five-minutes places elsewhere on the internet. But I guess before I hand out advice, the real question is, what are you thinking about keeping under your own copyright? Are you trying to upload some lyrics, and become the greatest artist of all time, dethroning both Bono and The Edge?  :-)      74.192.84.101 (talk) 21:28, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

p.s. Not positive there is copyright protection for Cuba at the moment. Music_of_Cuba#1960s_and_.2770s says the government abolished copyright laws in Cuba. Is that still the case now? 74.192.84.101 (talk) 21:32, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
Oh, I was thinking about uploading the lyrics for my new song and an essay on "One's purpose on Life" Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 13:32, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
In that case, I suggest the following. JethroBot is located in Australia, where international copyright protection is strong. If you trust them, you can email them the lyrics, and they can copyright the material for you. It would have to be in *their* name, of course, and JethroBot could -- although I do not at all believe he would you understand -- keep the lyrics for themselves. The next step is to create an off-wiki website, using wordpress.com or Weebly or something like that. JethroBot can upload the lyrics (with a note at the bottom specifying "Copyright 2013 JethroFullLegalNameGoesHere" at the bottom). Finally, once millions have flocked to your website, and you become an international superstar, JethroBot can remain your agent, and help syndicate your musical genius and your witty essays to the fans.  :-)
   Fortunately or unfortunately, because Cuba does not recognize international copyrights, your lyrics will not necessarily be protected in your own country, and if the song becomes popular there you will likely not receive any royalties, but that cannot be helped. Now, obviously, my little scheme depends on both you trusting JethroBot (or some other person you know overseas) to act as your copyright agent, and on JethroBot being willing to use their real legal name on the off-wiki website, since copyright cannot be assigned to a wikipedia-username.
   Oh, and the final step, is that you can then put a link to your off-wiki essay, and your off-wiki lyrics, from your wikipedia userpage. You can even put some selected quotes up, under fair use provisions of the copyright law, or an audio-sample. TLDR: step one pick an agent, step two agent copyrights the lyrics overseas, step three build an off-wiki homepage, step four link there from your userpage here. Clear as mud? Alrighty-then. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 19:15, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
Hahahahah, I will think about it. My band is just starting so, I think I'll wait until we are completely settle. We need a bassist and a drummer yet.

I got a very nice phone call from Miss Bono in Cuba this morning. At present, she has no email access and no ability to edit Wikipedia, and only has access to an archived version of Wikipedia. She clearly misses editing Wikipedia. Despite her current challenges, it was great to hear from her. I will try to pass on any messages left here, the next time I hear from her. 05:41, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Please let her know hat Mark (Amadscientist) says "Hello!" and "Arrrrrg"! Over her difficulties!--Mark Miller (talk) 06:00, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

I MISS WIKIPEDIA

This sounds awful but MISS Bono MISSES Wikipedia. I never thought that this Wikiholic (or whatever) was true until now! Thanks for all the support! Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 00:19, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia also is missing you. But you're tough; you'll make it back someday, one way or the other. If you still have computer-access, you can type up wikitext offline, in the meantime. Not as good as the real thing, wish you were here of course, but might help with your withdrawal-pangs. And hey, you can always go old-school, and just keep a paper scrapbook of press clippings, notes, drafts, and other material you want to see in wikipedia someday, right? In the worst case scenario, you can go really old-school: get a stick, and draw your contributions in the sand on the beach. Perhaps the waves, when they wash over your writing, will themselves be changed... and with luck, the deeper waveforms in the ocean, irrevocably modified by the slight perturbation of your lines in the sand, will transmit some essence of your meaning, over to another person on another beach somewhere, and they will be inspired to fire up their laptop, to edit wikipedia.  :-)   Hope this helps; see you later. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 17:27, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

You can be sure of it. I wish you and yours a warm and happy Holiday Season and a peaceful and prosperous New Year (with a full and fast online access). All the very best!!! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 08:11, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Email

Hey I am sorry, I only just saw your message on my talk page, and the email address my WP email is going to is not active. I'll figure out a way to handle this and get back to you. μηδείς (talk) 02:55, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Miss Bono does have sporadic access to email. However, I did receive a message from her today saying she probably won't be able to email much until after the New Year holiday. My wish for her is better online access in 2014. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:20, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
