From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You might be annoyed that I have removed an "External link" from an article, if that is the case I would like to point out something before you go writing your comment. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a link repository, and as such links should be of upmost importance.

• If the link has the same information as a link allready there it should not be added.
• If the link adds nothing to the article as a whole (meaning, there is nothing substantial or unique about it) it should not be added.
• If the link is not to an English site, it should not be added, try and find an alternative.
• If you own the site.
• The site is commercial, trying to sell something or is in other ways considered an ad.
• The site is self-authored, a blog, or fan-site

If none of these "points" where broken with the link I removed. Please feel free to correct me if you feel I removed something that should not have been and inform me on my talk page of my mistake. Thank you.

[edit] Nardwuar

Hey...you know Nardwuar? That's pretty cool. I'm not sure where I got the thing about Sum 41, I must have misremembered something. Adam Bishop 22:44, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RHCP

Thanks for doing the revert on that Philosophy section... I was going to let it sit for a couple hours before I'd have reverted myself - mostly to avoid a revert fight. Xinit 00:39, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

No problem, same thing happened to me yesterday. The POV has been freaking driving me up the wall. maxcap 00:43, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

If you are going to remove the film/tv, insisting they should be in the band member's pages instead, then why not add them to those individual pages instead of just removing them from the RHCP page? --Mattarata 14:28, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Something Green and Leafy

What makes you nominate Something Green And Leafy This Way Comes for speedy deletion and not the other half-dozen album stubs I created for this same band?

1. Because it was a very short article providing little or no context (CSD A1)
2. Because I didn't notice the other stubs.
3. Because, in your hurried cut-and-paste, you couldn't even be bothered to match the article title with the first sentence of the so-called stub.

--Calton | Talk 04:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Holy Shiite

At the times that I deleted it, the article had no text whatsoever. That means it was empty. User:Zoe|^(talk) 19:40, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Randists

About what you said on my talk page: I do use the term Randist, but not as a personal attack. The term is meant to be an "unloaded" term to replace the loaded term "Objectivists". It isn't a matter of insulting, but a matter of using neutral terminology. I do this not to insult anyone, but to make sure nobody - whether it's them or me - is insulted when refering to their ideology. -- LGagnon 15:40, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah... it strikes me as an odd approach aimed at silencing opposition. I'm mostly curious what the "attacks" are in your statements, as I do not see it. Perhaps it's like the Star Trek fans who don't like being called "Trekkies"? -- Xinit 15:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:RHCP EL

Honestly, I'm kind of conflicted as well. It is ad heavy, and tour dates aren't absolutely necessary as part of a biography, but I was hoping that kind of fluff might help placate the fanboys (but it probably won't) maxcap 19:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

I appreciate your help with disputes, but it's best if you post comments for others to their own talk pages, as they are not likely to look at comments on my talk page. Thanks. -- LGagnon 20:00, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cult category

Oh, I know it'll anger them; I'm just not concerned if I anger them or not, given that they will vandalize and make personal attacks anyways. -- LGagnon 21:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Touth

excuse me why are you getting involved in all this? you are really not helping are you? i am really not happy at all! and why are you getting everyone to look at my user page huh? Touth 02:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

i just dont like what you put on that talk page. if you dont want me to get rid of it then i want you to get rid of it. now leave me alone....sob....sob....Touth 04:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I won't listen to you and get rid of it, because you won't listen to anyone. --Xinit 04:03, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

and why did you call me a puppy?

I didn't... go read that again. --Xinit 04:39, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Go right ahead. Good to know I'm not the only EL-nazi around here. Add {{User external links}} to your user page aswell if you want, it will give you a little.

This user is against excessive use of external links..

Good luck! Havok (T/C/c) 21:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Green Day citations

I've been planning to add citations for a while, and I've done some preliminary work before. A good bet if you want to verify stuff is to check out fansites, which tend to reprint full articles. If they provide the appropriate info (author, title, date, publication, etc.) those can be added as references. WesleyDodds 01:17, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CoTW

You might want to personally ask members of the Alternative Wikiproject to check out and contribute to the COTW page, particularly asking them if there's anything they might wnat to nominate to work on. WesleyDodds 00:47, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FLA

Thanks! Oh, and I don't know if you started thoses pages on the newer FLA albums, but I think the infoboxes are supposed to be orange. Let me know what you think! The-dissonance-reports 03:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

PS - You seem to have a lot of experiences with external links...I've worked pretty hard on the page for the industrial band X Marks the Pedwalk, maybe you could take a look at that section of the page? :) I'm more concerned with the references section than anything! The-dissonance-reports 03:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Check This

Hilarious. He's a passionate guy, you've got to give him that. maxcap 19:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Maybe just coincidence maxcap 21:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Lemmings games

excuse me Xinit! the List of Lemmings games article will not be useless! it will be a quick way for me to get to my favorite articles. do you understand? by the way if i were you i would stop hurting Touths feelings ok? thanks! Touth 00:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Xinit, I don't think Touth was threatening you. His feelings are apparently easily bruised, and they've been quite battered by the problems surrounding his edits to Lists of computer and video games and now this new article. Powers 12:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] dayglo abortions

as per your additions to the Dayglo Abortions discography, keep in mind that the proper form for an article is to have the content on top, and categories and stub sorting on the bottom. also, all articles need some kind of introductory sentence. Joeyramoney 21:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Green Day vandalism

Hey, you might want to watch out for edits by User:24.64.223.203 on the Green day page. This user constantly changes the genre links so they actually redirect to Modern rock and power pop while the text still says Punk rock and Pop punk. This user has also made posts on the talk page that seem biased against the band. WesleyDodds 22:49, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nardwuar

Hey,

The first edit on Vanilla Ice came up as a red link, so I assumed it was made up. The second time it worked. Still, after investigating, I'm not sure that it's the best idea for a category, so I put it up to CFD[1] to discuss. I mean, personally I've got no vested interest in this category, and I don't care if it stays or goes, I just thought the community should look at it.

Thanks Sparsefarce 23:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CoTW Revisited

Hey, I asked WesleyDodds if the Alternative music collaboration of the week page was still going, and this was his response:

"Oh, basically we were deadlocked for a while and it kind of fell to the wayside. However, now that we have a clear idea of what to wrk on, maybe we can get it going. Xinit was the one who set it up; you should message him as to how to organize this. WesleyDodds 21:58, 23 July 2006 (UTC)"

So, do you think we can get it going again? Or do you wanna scrap it? --Reaper X _{→T →C} 23:25, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pop Punk Revival Merge Discussion

Saw you on the Punk WikiProject list... Your input is valued! - Sir, please check out whats going on there Talk:Pop_punk_revival and add you opinion to the "Merge Discussion" Xsxex 23:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music

Whats up? Hi, I'm trying to gather some more interest and support for the Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music. Please check out the topics and lets get our WikiProject to function better. I've taken an interest in the Wikipedia:WikiProject hip hop and I consider that WikiProject to be better developed. Hopefully we can all work together to improve articles relating to punk. Also, I am trying to gather support and opinions concerning the punk house article and specifically the Theta Beta Potata article which is currently in AfD (x2) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theta Beta Potata (second nomination). Please check it out and voice your opinion. Xsxex 06:43, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Synesthesia article

Hi, I am a bit puzzled by the rv you made on the article [2]. Was it a wrong manipulation or did I get something wrong? Regards, -- lucasbfr ^talk 22:51, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok I got it, the previous anonymous user had already reversed the vandalism (twice), and you rolled back his revert in fact ;) See you! -- lucasbfr ^talk 22:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:202.89.36.170

I removed your warning from this talk page because the warning came just after I'd already blocked them. If you want to replace it, I don't mind, but I thought it looked odd to see "you've been blocked" followed by "stop, or you'll be blocked." Joyous! | Talk 23:41, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: The Pixies

Agreed. By all means, you go for it. However, with the redirect Pixies (band) as it is, that move might require further assistance, namely from an Wikipedian Administrator. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have disambiguation to do. ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 00:02, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I have reverted my edit back, having placed the info in the article about the artist who names Pixies as an influence. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 22:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] wikEd

Hi, I have seen that you are using the Cacycle editor extension. This program is no longer actively maintained in favor of its much more powerful successor wikEd.

wikEd has all the functionality of the old editor plus: • syntax highlighting • nifty image buttons • more fixing buttons • paste formatted text from Word or web pages • convert the formatted text into wikicode • adjust the font size • and much, much more.

Switching to wikEd is easy, check the detailed installation description on its project homepage. Often it is as simple as changing every occurrence of editor.js into wikEd.js on your User:YourUsername/monobook.js page.

[edit] WikiProject Graffiti

Dear participant of Wikipedia: WikiProject Graffiti, you assistance is needed and input required at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Graffiti. The project has become inactive and unfocused and I'm calling meeting to address these issues, and find a resolution. There is work to be done, and we are the ones to do it. Regards, Dfrg.msc 01:35, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Rock music invitation

Hello WikiProject Alternative music member.
WikiProject Alternative music, in my eyes, has proved to be successful "improving the encyclopaedic coverage of articles relating to alternative rock", and improving their quality as well. One specific example I have witnessed is The Smashing Pumpkins article. The page has gone from a mediocre work, to GA status, to FA nomination. Only appropriate, as the Pumpkins are undeniably one of the most influential alternative rock bands on the 1990's and beyond.
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently ressurected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and not only be a member of alternative Wikipedians, but the rockin' ones as well.
Rock on.
