[edit] User pages

It is best not to edit other people's user pages if you want to be taken seriously here. And no, the number isn't meant as an invitation. :) --Etacar11 19:27, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Hehe... The worst part is that I thought I was being witty, only to discover afterwards that pretty much the same joke had already been done. Apologies. --CapitalLetterBeginning 21:16, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gorillaz

I have been debating whether it'd be better to have a singles subsection under discography AND a "Chart Positions" section or just continue on the way I have been. As of now I think my current path is the better choice, but I may change my path once I'm finished with research.

The reason I put the US charts first is because they are a better representation of the popularity of a single (granted the UK only singles make it a little tough, though). The problem with the UK chart is it is only based on digital and physical sales whereas the US chart is based on the sales and airplay. Because of this, singles remain on the US charts for as long as they are popular, whereas on the UK chart they fall off after so many people have purchased them, even though they may still be gaining popularity.

[edit] Hangman

Wow, that is an amazing guess. I'd be simply amazed if it is ineed correct! --lightdarkness (talk) 03:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Hah, thanks... I suppose I was only almost correct really, seeing as Ian was looking for "on" rather than "in". --CapitalLetterBeginning 18:33, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] May Street Project

Just wanted to thank you for updating Shea Seger's album page. It looks very nice! (I started the article; actually it was one of the first things I did on Wiki. Now maybe all that's left to be done is list the American singles with release dates. --Brian1979 12:51, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Glad to know it's appreciated :). Don't have any info re: US singles, I'm afraid, but I'll look into it. --CapitalLetterBeginning 23:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gordon Lightfoot album numbering

Hi. I noticed you renumbered the Gordon Lightfoot album pages. Sunday Concert was included in the numbering and will continue to be included as, despite being a live album, a majority of the material is actually original. Hence, why the number was "x original album". I have reverted to reflect how it was before and have changed the categories you added accordingly. As you can see from this link Harmony is generally considered to be his 20th release. Sunday Concert is counted for the reasons I've already mentioned. Cheers. Shadow007 15:15, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Ah, OK. I'd just assumed it was a misnumbering because I saw a few songs on Sunday Concert that I recognised as having been on studio albums. Thanks for the explanation. --CapitalLetterBeginning 18:26, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Yeah that's cool mate. Normally live albums wouldn't be counted, but Sunday Concert isn't a regular live album in that it contains a lot of previously unreleased tracks. Cheers. Shadow007 01:34, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Albums by number categories up for deletion

Categories for albums numbered third to fourteenth in Cat:Albums by number have been placed on CfD. Given your significant contribution to these categories, I thought you might have a stake in the discussion here. –Unint 03:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to say, I'm inclined to agree with the proposed deletion. Though the comedians it covers may be notable, that doesn't make the site itself notable. Thanks for making me aware of the site though :) --CapitalLetterBeginning 18:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Odd Question

Why do the Brits get new music releases on Monday and the States on Tuesday? Fantailfan 21:27, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Hehe, no idea! Well actually, I think new releases coming out on Mondays in the UK is related to the fact that the sales charts are compiled on Sundays – so to ensure the highest possible position in the charts, record companies release on the earliest day possible in the week. Then again, I may have that completely backwards and charts are compiled on Sundays because of a previously established convention of Monday releases. As for the US, I really don't have a clue... I'm sure I remember reading an explanation of the rationale behind Tuesday releases somewhere, but unfortunately can't recall any actual details.
Anyhoo, if you find out the answer, please tell me as I'm curious to know as well! --CapitalLetterBeginning 02:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] PopMatters

Hi. I don't think you should be italicising instances of PopMatters – website titles aren't included in the italics guidelines at MoS:T. Thanks. --CapitalLetterBeginning 14:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your note. Italics are used on the basis that it is a periodical/magazine. Our article describes it as such, do you think that's OK? Rich Farmbrough, 14:54 10 September 2006 (GMT).
It's touched on on the talk page. Webcomics, it seems, are italicised. I'm happy to leave PopMatters for now though. Rich Farmbrough, 15:12 10 September 2006 (GMT).
Cheers. --CapitalLetterBeginning 15:19, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] REM

Albums came out on Mondays in the US until about 1988 when the US release dates shifted to Tuesdays. I'm also going by the chart entry dates in Billboard. If an album was released tomorrow, for instance, it would enter the album chart for the week ending October 14th. Document, for instance, entered the week ending September 26, 1987, which puts its release date back to Sept 7 (the Monday of that week).

[edit] Losing My Religion

I'm not sure when February 27th occured in 1991, so I can't say if it was on a Monday or not. But it's best to go with what can be referenced. Who's Rob Jovanovic? WesleyDodds (talk) 10:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I think we should stick with the date listed in the R.E.M. bio. We can always look for another source to confirm one date or the other. WesleyDodds (talk) 10:54, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
The Black bio, actually. It's the R.E.M. biography with the most involvement from the band. That and the Buckley book (which features heavy imput from Mills and Buck, but not Stipe) would be the primary sources for any R.E.M. article. WesleyDodds (talk) 11:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
All other books I have only list the month. WesleyDodds (talk) 11:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree with that. In fact I've been thinking only the US date is really relevant. WesleyDodds (talk) 11:32, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] CORN MOUTH

Hello there, mate.

Might I ask why you changed the track Corn Mouth into Carn Marth? I've been to various websites and that track is clearly listed as Corn Mouth. --James599 (talk) 15:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I should have mentioned in my edit note. See the talk page, specifically Slicing's message at 02:01 10 November 2005 UTC and Cparker's message at 19:21 25 February 2006 UTC, for discussion of this. See also Bleep's listing for the album. --CapitalLetterBeginning (talk) 16:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Right. Thanks for the information. Cheers! --James599 (talk) 16:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
