[edit] Wikiproject proposal

Hi Brian, there's a current proposal to start up a new WikiProject covering Australian music. See here. I thought you may be interested. Cheers —Moondyne 12:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Infernal Method (band)

I tagged the article because the band has only released one album and doesn't appear to be signed to a record label. However, if the band meets any criteria in WP:MUSIC for inclusion, then the article could be edited to assert notability and kept. Having toured with notable acts is not a good indicator of notability, because even unsigned bands with no releases can be the opening act for a notable band. --Leon Sword 01:58, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay well I have removed the speedy deletion tag so you don't have any pressure to suddenly improve the article within a small time frame. However, if the band is notable please do edit the article to reflect that or it might eventually get nominated for deletion again, especially since the band appears to have broken up permanently in March 2007. --Leon Sword 02:28, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian music

You previously indicated an interest in this at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals. I've started up a new page but it needs lots of work. Come on over and join up. Regards. —Moondyne 18:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Australian heavy metal music

That looks fine. —Moondyne 04:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Jimmybarnesheatofthenight.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Jimmybarnesheatofthenight.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:58, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Hi Brian, I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! —Moondyne 04:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

That OK, its no biggy. If you want, there's a setting in My preferences, Editing (bottom box) that reminds you. I have it turned on myself. It was annoying at first but I've gotten used to it now. —Moondyne 05:15, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Nazxul.gif listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Nazxul.gif, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 22:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Australian musical groups by state

As Australian Heavy Metal isn't an area I am overly familar with - I thought you might want to change any bands you are aware of from Category:Australian musical groups to their specific states and therefore populate each of the respective State categories. Dan arndt 08:10, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Australian heavy metal music

I have proposed that Category:Australian heavy metal music be deleted because no other country category scheme organizes their articles in this manner. Please feel free to chime in at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_August_14#Category:Australian_heavy_metal_music. Thanks.-Andrew c [talk] 16:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Mullanes

Hi Brian. I noticed you tagged the Mullanes article for Merge with Crowded House. Now, I'm not for it, though I didn't create the article and am not completely against it (though lean more towards believing the article deserves to be its own), but in your suggestion to merge the two articles, it's expected you would provide a rationale as to why you believe it necessary. The greater volume of members of the Crowded House wikiproject would probably agree that the page is more necessary than to simply be a part of the Crowded House page. Examples of this include the bands that the members of Linkin Park were in before they became LP, and the majority of those pages (I think there're about 3 or 4) are not as informative, nor unique in their information, as this (by this, I mean that there's info here that presently can't be found in the Crowded House article, and it wouldn't be advisable to harp on this era on the Crowded House page). So, if you could explain the purpose of the merge tag, I'll accept that we've initiated a discussion, otherwise, I'll remove it. --lincalinca 11:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 23:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Article for Deletion

I have nominated the article, Misery (Australian band) for deletion from Wikipedia. You can access the process by visiting the article. I have done this not because I am deletionist or a senior writer for Wikipedia, or because I believe in destroying your work, as some do at Wikipedia.

I am doing it for a variety of reasons: To learn how the deletion process works. As a reaction to the recent deletion of the Misery (band) article. (Based in Minneapolis, MN., US.) I admit this difficult to defend reason but offer up my wish to learn about the internal problems of Wikipedia by responding to the Minneapolis band’s deletion by attempting to delete the Australian band. As an attempt to review Wikipedia’s deletion policy as it relates to alternative and all bands.

I am blogging on this situation. The blog is accessible through my user page.

Thank you for editing Wikipedia. Nanabozho 02:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Underbelly Episode List

Please change the summaries. I haven't seen the series, and I can promise I won't revert them. I have edited the page and have made it look nicer, but what it really needs is new summaries. Please go ahead. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 03:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the summaries. It would be nice if they were a bit longer, around three to four lines, but what you have done is good too. Thanks! Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 04:54, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Finished? Well great job anyways, really good. The page really looks complete now. Thanks! Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 06:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
