[edit] Courtney Love

It's irresposible to talk about Cobain's death without mentioning the autopsy which determined that he had 1.51 mg of heroin per liter of blood.

Even if you are a Courtney Love fan and respect her this fact must be represente on wiki.

How you can respect her is beyond me but I respect your loyalty.

please go to www.cobaincase.com and www.justiceforkurt.com and explore those websites.

Much respect,

Paul

I'm not acting out of loyalty or respect for Ms. Love (I am not a fan), but out of respect for the rules of Wikipedia. Perhaps you should learn and start following those rules too, starting with WP:BLP - Foetusized (talk) 12:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Technology at ETSU

Do you really feel it is necessary to document a change in back end technology? Remember, all public schools in Tennessee are converting to these new systems and more. I'm at MTSU, and we just changed to Banner, D2L and another classroom app, and changed the entire grade/data back end; I still see no point in mentioning any of that in the article. This is just routine operations. The ETSU article is tenuous as it is...I would strongly suggest removing this particular section and flesh out additional and more varied facets of the school. -- Huntster T • @ • C 11:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I see no reason to keep the content, but it was worse when it was grafted onto the end of a paragraph on the history of the school. Moving it to a paragraph on its own was a meant to be a temporary improvement, but I've been too busy to give it a second look. Now that I have, I'm deleting it, since you agree with it being marginal at best - Foetusized 04:00, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bauhaus

The thing about the Bauhaus article is that I was working through the Shirley book first, then planning to switch to my NME and Melody Maker article reprints for sourcing, which is why the Shirely book is used so much. I don't get why the "one source" tag was added given I also cited Simon Reynolds' Rip It Up and Start Again. Definitely cite other useful sources if you have them, but there's no need to add multiple footnotes to cite one item. You only need to cite a fact once.

[edit] Apologies

My apologies to you for the fact that the Johnson City article has been the recipient of unproductive attentions (addition of fact templates) from someone whose actual intent apparently is to harass me. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Flurry of apparently related anonymous (possible open proxy) edits. --Orlady (talk) 22:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

No problems. I was able to add a couple of citations to the JC article (using the situation to improve the article), with sufficiently sarcastic editor notes. I can't find a good cite about the location for the "Rag Doll" video, other than I can watch the video and recognize the locations. There's also a painted Aerosmith logo with date, on a power supply box inside Freedom Hall, left behind by the road crew. I could always go snap a photo ;-) -- Foetusized (talk) 22:31, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yo

Nice followup.[1] I think we can maybe get the article to GA status sometime in the not too distant future.

[edit] Pompertown

I've blocked this user indefinitely, not for this latest edit war, but for the consistent history of doing nothing but revert with little/no explanation. I have no position on the actual subject of your disagrement, so if someone else comes along and thinks they liked his version better, this isn't a free pass to revert them with no discussion; please try to start a discussion with any new editor if they show up preferring his version, and assume it isn't the same user unless they start reverting with no discussion too.

I'm not going to warn you for edit warring, since you came nowhere near 3RR, and others agreed with you and reverted him too. Just noting that perhaps the "perfect world" solution would have been for you to start a discussion with other editors about the edit in question, which you could point to as "consensus" in your re-adding the material he removed. Perhaps that's a little too utopian in dealing with a disruptive editor, but I was slightly disappointed to see all that reverting going on with no talk page thread (at least that I noticed, apologies if I just missed it).

So hopefully that should improve the editing environment at the article. --barneca (talk) 13:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I have made the last six edits on Talk:Backstreet Boys, trying to get some discussion going about the improvements I was trying to make in the article. I tried directing Pompertown there in my edit comments, posted in their talk page, but I never got any response, other than unexplained reverts of my edits. Thanks for your help -- Foetusized (talk) 23:14, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Backstreet Boys

Hey, I dropped by the BSB article today and noticed you've been working towards improving it. As time goes by, info that used to be easy to get drops off the net and reliable sources for "older" info get harder and harder to find. I used to be a fan and still have a pile of magazines and books. Would some hard-copy article scans be helpful? I mean, I know there's a better source for Sam Licata and Charles Edwards than an old fansite. :) I'm not in the fandom anymore, but I know there's enough good info out there in the world to take this article to FA status. My hands are full and my passion for BSB is low, but I'd be happy to pass info on to someone who might be able to use it. I haven't looked at it in years so maybe all I have is junk, but I can find out. --hamu♥hamu (talk) 05:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
