Thanks! You're the best. I'm not, though, and I'm going to continue mercilessly providing unpoliteness to anyone who confuses the fact that wikipedia can tolerate replicating allmusic.com with the fact that wikipedia should replicate allmusic.com in preference to its other missions. 12.210.113.235 15:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarity?

When TeX is used in the normal way, as opposed to the way it's used on Wikipedia, then it looks just as good when it's "inline" as when it's "displayed". But on Wikipedia, although "displayed" TeX looks good, it often looks terrible when it's inline. For example, contrast this: cos2(x) − sin2(x); with this: \cos^2(x)-\sin^2(x)\,. At least on my browser, the latter looks comically gigantic and is misaligned---pushed downward below where it should be because of the superscrtips. Here's a more extreme case: e^{\int_0^1 1\,dx}. This makes the "e" look like a subscript on the left, whereas the "e" ought to be aligned with the letters in the word "case" and the integral should look clearly like a superscript. I don't think this adds "clarity", as suggested by your edit summary at list of trigonometric identities. Michael Hardy 21:12, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Single infobox conversions

G'day Alex. Well done with the infobox conversions. I'm currently working on cleaning up and converting Ashes to Ashes (song) so don't bother with that one. Gradually I'm cleaning/converting all the Bowie singles so you can concentrate on others before those if you like, however if you get to the other Bowie ones before I do then of course feel free, it'll save me some work...!

[edit] Stub sorting

Thanks for helping on the last few – I don't really have any "Spirit of Christmas" left! :D Bubba hotep 10:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Job done! Thanks again. Bubba hotep 11:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Noimageforcd.gif

I've just speedied it. I only made it because some user took the "no image available" image from Amazon.com, and I needed something to replace it with :) Thanks. Ral315 (talk) 21:49, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox conversion

I find it quite ironic (and not a little amusing) that the infobox on this page needed converting! Perhaps it's just my sense of humour... :D Bubba hotep 10:30, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Haha likewise :) Alex valavanis 11:54, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] iTunes Greatest Hits, iTunes Greatest Hits, Pt. II, and iTunes Greatest Hits, Pt. III

I have a question, I created these 3 pages because I created these mixtapes/ compilations because they are REAL!!!! There's no website becuase it's not a big business mixtape. So why can't they stay, they're real! Dislecksik 00:01, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I'd also like to point out that removing the prod tag is the correct way to dispute the proposed deletion. You're not supposed to put it back. Instead, it's supposed to go to the full AfD process. However, per WP:SNOW, I'm not gonna mess with it at this point. eaolson 00:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I don't think it's worth AfDing, since it doesn't stand a snowball's chance of staying. But if they're de-prodded again, I'd take them to AfD. eaolson 00:33, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Evanescence

Konnichi-wa, Alex-san! Just letting you know that, even though it's not really a big deal or anything, this edit by an IP was pure vandalism. The odds of the entire band dying on Valentine's Day and nobody saying anything about it on the news, forums/fansites, etc are extremely small. Well, hope to see you around and happy editing! // DecaimientoPoético 19:10, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Meanwhile

Hi, do you want to take another look at the ...Meanwhile page and see if I've done those references OK. Thanks Grimhim 02:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Alex, I'm having a hard time deciding why you have tagged some album articles with unref when they clearly have sources and references within the external links and infobox. Bubba hotep 10:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notes

Just wanted to say the only relation I have to 'Universal Code (Album)' is that I once disambiged the Universal Code pages. DStaal 13:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Bizarre Ride II

Shit, I wrote that entire thing, man. It got turned down for FA, so I'm done with it. Good luck though. --PDTantisocial 11:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
