[edit] Nicole Atkins

I did indirectly refer to the Sicilian heritage through the Badalamenti quote, but perhaps I can squeak it in somewhere else. You're probably right about the Sweden discrepancy too. I have to go back and check the liner notes. Re: relationship with Parlor Mob, I thought it best to leave out for the time being. Thanks for the feedback! User talk:Terrapin7 14:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I added sicilian to the article. It's pretty common to mention heritage (when known) at the beginning of biographical articles. It looks like someone added the other studio to the article, it should probably be added to the album article as well. Relationship: it might merit inclusion since they're living together and have been together for at least a couple years. Great work on expanding the article! dissolvetalk 23:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Are you sure her entire family is Sicilian though? I know Arnone, her mother's maiden name, is Sicilian. I thought Atkins was more of an Anglo/Celtic name. Maybe you could say "She is of Sicilian heritage" since we know that to be at least partly true. I'll leave the relationship up to you. I don't think he's quite as famous yet and I figured Atkins wouldn't want her personal life all over Wikipedia, but I may be wrong. Thanks for the compliment! User talk:Terrapin7 19:08, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

In the source I cited, Atkins states "My family is Sicilian", so I basically just re-phrased that per WP:V. dissolvetalk 00:16, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] non-linear narrative

Nice work expanding the article Nonlinear (arts). --Cinematical (talk) 00:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Contemporary music

Hi Dissolve, I wonder if you would be interested in joining the new WikiProject Contemporary music that I helped organize recently? Our goal is to help improve Wikipedia’s coverage of the subject. Best, --S.dedalus (talk) 04:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Response to WΔZ being removed from Splatter Article

So far the only reliable source I could find was here[[1]] on the Total Film website; [[2]] But it seems obviously clear that this is part of the "Torture porn" genre so could someone add it to this article please? Clearly if anyone looked into this it would be obvious with the premise alone (which I might add isn't too disimilar from Saw...but with a more scientific approach complete with a major morality point too...I might add) Hopefully these following offical sites might be enough too: [[3]] [[4]] --COSSOCO 23:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] thanks for the lesson

Just finished reading your comments and the appropriate links. It was very helpful. I get it now and understand fully. Thanks for your assistance and best wishes.Ceyx106lucifer (talk) 20:49, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your clarification

I believe you are right then. The page needs clean up. However, I also believe that the external links where placed to promote his services. Whether he himself did or not, can not be proved. But it was the design of someone from Denmark. I think these links should be deleted and replaced with the references you so expertly found. A question, if an audio engineer was involved (and credited) on a top 10 charting record in Australia, does he qualify for a biographical page as per WP:Music? Thanks for your help. Jrod2 (talk) 20:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your explanation again. So, in recapping, you are saying that WP:Music doesn't apply to engineers and producers but WP:Bio does. WP:Bio states that several verified sources citating the works of these people are needed to qualify for an article at WP. Since Holger meets the requirements under WP:Music (as a musician) he is entitled to his own article, and because he is also an engineer all his websites that promote his services as such, are admissible. Is this your position? Please confirm. Regards. Jrod2 (talk) 18:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Open Road

You linked Michael Meredith even though he doesn't have an article. You may want to create one about him if you know enough. Meldshal42Comments and SuggestionsMy Contributions 20:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I thought the writer and director of several feature films with numerous google news hits, would probably be notable, so I red linked the name per WP:REDLINK. If you don't think he's notable at this time, I won't disagree, as I haven't looked into it enough to write a stub. dissolvetalk 03:22, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A Sniper

Anyone can say they are anyone - that doesn't make it so. A Sniper (talk) 04:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Greif article

That is fair enough. A Sniper (talk) 19:47, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Is there any way you can place a 'resolved box' at the COI page as this appears to now be sorted out? An admin has struck the page completely and is rebuilding with citations, and I have absolutely no objection. I thanked the user and he's been reconstructing step by step. That would be one less issue to deal with as I'm now besieged by WP:NPA (at various talk pages) and trolling (for want of any other word to describe it) by Jackmantas. Thanks, A Sniper (talk) 21:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Sure, no problem. It looks like it's been re-written based on sources. dissolvetalk 16:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fracture (2007 film)

Hey. I notice a little while back, you moved Fracture (film) to Fracture (2007 film) citing WP:NAME. For the future, note that WP:NAME#Film titles says the year of the film should only be used in the title if necessary - that is, if there were two films named Fracture then we would use "Fracture (2007 film)" and perhaps "Fracture (2008 film)" as the articles' titles. Thanks for trying to help out! —97198 talk 14:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

There are multiple films with the name Fracture. Please see Fracture (disambiguation), Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)#Between films of the same name and IMDb. Perhaps you missed the other article? A search would reveal it. dissolvetalk 16:55, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, my mistake! Thanks for that. —97198 talk 01:28, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] QUESTION

Is there any reason why you (Dissolve?) have decided to remove all links to my blog - Soul Bible - on various pages?

As per the comment I left on your talk page, the links do not comply with Wikipedia's guideline for external links. dissolvetalk 18:07, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Buckley

I noticed you're on a bit of an edit spree recently! Any chance of input into the Jeff Buckley article? I've written a more appropriate lead but some things don't feel right still. Looking to bring up to a GA at some point. And if you know anything about Tim Buckley that page is just crying out for improvement. Tell me if you're interested. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 19:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

OK. I think I'll remove tribute songs we don't have a reference for and put the Jeff Buckley article up for GA status. Tribute songs can be put back in if a reference is found. Do you think it's ready too? Sillyfolkboy (talk) 00:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Maceo Parker 2005.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Maceo Parker 2005.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Carly Pope

im getting seriously tired of you editing my work. the reference link is just!Pezzy (talk) 20:29, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Please read WP:BLP#Sources. Self-published sites are not considered reliable sources and should never be used in a biography of a living person. dissolvetalk 20:34, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

the site has been approved by the star and it has been the ONLY reliable reference for this actress since 1999 Pezzy (talk) 20:43, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

The site states that it "is in no way connected to Carly Pope"[5] so also fails WP:SELFPUB. dissolvetalk 21:09, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pennsylvania townships that surround boroughs

Hello ... Regarding Youngstown borough in relationship to Unity Township: Now that you've brought it to my attention, I see where you got the sentence, "One of the oldest boroughs in the township is that of Youngstown." (That Westmoreland County history book is fascinating, by the way.)

One way of looking at this is that there are two different senses in which a place could be described as being "in a township." For example, Lawson Heights and Pleasant Unity are in Unity Township and are administered as integral parts of that township. On the other hand, Youngstown borough is "in" Unity Township in a different sense; it is surrounded by Unity Township but not administered by it. Email communication is welcome; see my user page for link. Canadian2006 (talk) 03:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Good points. I think I was going by the later definition rather than the former when I added the fact as I wasn't aware that Latrobe and Youngstown are surrounded by Unity Township, but not technically a part of it. I think my source was a website that listed villages, towns and boroughs geographically "in" the townships, rather than by governmental makeup. Do you think an explanation of that might make a useful addition to the township articles?
Wikipedia's threshold for inclusion is WP:Verifiability, so it seems historically, Youngstown was a part of the township, at least until it became a separate borough, so the inclusion of that in the history section might be worthwhile. dissolvetalk 03:36, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
All of the above sounds reasonable. As you can see on my "contributions" list, I have changed some of the township pages to distinguish between the two types of situations (for example, Unity Twp. Hempfield, Twp., Derry Twp, Ligonier Twp.). I hope that's okay. (Incidentally, I live in western Canada now, but I'm originally from Latrobe. I'm taking an interest in my hometown area.)
In Pennsylvania, a rule of thumb is that a township never administers a city or a borough (or vice versa). Canadian2006 (talk) 04:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I think your definition of "in a township" is the more accurate one, so I support the edits to the township articles. dissolvetalk 05:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] JB

Yeah thanks for that, was thinking of removing that myself anyway. I'm 100% sure there are references somewhere but can't find where they are. I also remember a story about one of the band pouring beer over Matt Johnson when he was doing some meditation or similar to that. Does this sound familiar to you too? Maybe it's in "dream brother". Otherwise, i'm sure this will pass GA and highlight a couple more problems on the way to FA. I suppose a critical reception section is still needed too. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 09:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The trivia on the Colors article

Whats up with the tag on that trivia? Don't every movie articel have a trivia? Agtax 19:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Trivia sections should be avoided as an article develops, but are acceptable at an early stage for film articles. See WP:TRIVIA and MOS:FILM for the relevant style guidelines. dissolvetalk 19:54, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
What about renaming the section as Details? Agtax 20:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
