[edit] Purest Feeling
Thank you very much for doing all that work on the Purest Feeling article. My copy of the album and of When The Whip Comes Down are currently on lend to someone at work, although I doubt I would have gone to as much effort as you have with adding all that info' and the sidebar. Perhaps you could do the same for When The Whip Comes Down? I'll be able to if you can't. Could I be cheeky and ask you to take a look at the Happiness In Slavery article? Many, many thanks again. --Aaron Jethro

- Hey,nice work on the WTWCD bootleg. I think the name of it comes from the fact that there's a B-side of that name by The Rolling Stones. I remember that Trent says something about how this is a chance for him to say 'fuck' on pay-per-view, but I couldn't write about it until I get my CD back.
[edit] Your message
Sarcasm is unhelpful. In your terms, your edits "wasted" a huge amount of my time, because I'd already tidied the articles into Wikipedia style, both in obvious Manual-of-Style ways and in terms of turning the idiosyncratic typography of album sleeves into proper English.
I'm currently looking at an album by Wayne Shorter, for which I made an article last night. It has his name and the album title, and the track titles, in all capitals — on the front and back and liner notes. That's just the publisher's style, though (as it is for many books, magazines, films, etc.); when giving the title we don't use all capitals; we use the Wikipedia (and normal English) naming conventions.
Note also the way to link "Japanese" and "album", and the Wikipedia policy that punctuation goes outside inverted commas unless it's part of what's being quoted. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 08:15, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what "legally in capitals" means; legality isn't the issue, but normal English style and the Wikipedia MoS. The naming conventions don't mention not using all capitals because that's a general point, not limited to naming articles (see, for example, the article on All caps, which points out: "All caps [...] commonly appears in titles on book covers, on advertising billboards, and in dramatic newspaper headlines. It is not widely used in body copy."). It's important to remember that this is an encyclopædia, and follows different principles of style from those followed by fan sites, music journalism, etc. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 08:51, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image Tagging Image:Gerogerigegege.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Gerogerigegege.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Abu Badali 20:18, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Prince.eye.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Prince.eye.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 20:05, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat
Sorry! Reverting your edit was a mistake. I think I've been on RC Patrol too long tonight. Anyway, many apologies. —PaperTruths 04:37, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Follow-up: I think I've fixed the damage, but you might want to take a peek and make sure. Once again, very sorry! (It's unfortunate the way that edit looked through a vandal filter.) —PaperTruths 04:51, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Out of Print?
The Malice Mizer album, Voyage sans Retour, is available on CDJapan—I'm pretty sure that CDJapan doesn't sell bootlegs. Are you sure that the album is out of print? --Berserk798 23:01, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
