[edit] The Bends

While I figure it took you a bit of time to put together that composite Banshees pic (which is pretty good, by the way), I have to say it's a shame that Big-Hair Siouxsie isn't in there. I know we have a licensed/free picture of her in all her goth-y glory. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Classic rock topic of the day: the Rolling Stones, while good, are vastly overrated, and do no belong in a list of the top twenty rock bands of all time. I love the Beatles and can listen to The Who and Kinks for quite a bit, but the Stones are the weakest of the top four British Invasion bands. WesleyDodds (talk) 21:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
I have the NME "Single of the Week" review for that song. Still, no matter how overrated they are or how badly they might behave, it is scientific fact that Keith Richards is pretty damn cool. WesleyDodds (talk) 22:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
It makes sense in a historical context. If you were a stoner into heavy music in 1971, all three would have equal standing. But taking into account nearly 40 years since then, well, Deep Purple do come up a bit short (Funny enough, I'm listening to "Immigrant Song" right now). WesleyDodds (talk) 22:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I find it amusing how often you keep changing your future Blur-related projects. But given it's always a Blur article, you must really like the band. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Are you familiar with the great forgotten Blur single? WesleyDodds (talk) 08:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Check out the Allmusic review of that compilation, where the reviewer is flabbergasted that neither "Popscene" nor anything from Modern Life Is Rubbish aside from "For Tomorrow" is included. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:53, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

When going through my 2001 Nirvana-themed Guitar World issue to cite the articles, I realized there was also a feature article about the making of Who's Next. WesleyDodds (talk) 21:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Looks like the tracklist template is making a comeback. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I just removed it from the articles I'm the primary editor at. I don't need a template to format a tracklisting (I've also weaned myself off of cite web, but I continue to use it at articles I've utilized it at previously for consistency's sake). WesleyDodds (talk) 02:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Glancing at Template talk:Tracklist, there seems to be general agreement not to use it if you don't need it, so you can probably just remove it from articles if you like. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Regardless of its usefulness, it's pretty clear you don't need it for Pixies albums, which at most had two songwriters to list. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I just have to say, I love the way NIN albums list credits. "Trent Reznor IS Nine Inch Nails". You're damn right, motherf**kers. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Am trying to formulate a user talk page response, but I think I'll wait and see what tomorrow brings. One of the things that strikes me is that the template would be best for helping unexperienced users create tracklistings for new articles, but he's implementing it in well-established articles that are already fully developed by experienced editors. WesleyDodds (talk) 06:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

The diffs for Accelerate at the COTW page are for the wrong week. I checked it because I remembered an insane amount of editing going on that week due to the album release and all sorts of edit warring. WesleyDodds (talk) 09:39, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tommy, Can You Hear Me?

I have reverted this, just because it has little on it, or not released doesn't mean it is not notable. The song was the UNICEF song/anthem (unsure on what they want to call it). Consider expanding the article instead of removing it. Cheers, Jonomacdrones (talk) 18:14, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eyesight to the Blind

I've reverted your apparently hasty (certainly not discussed) redirect to the Who's pages, and reinstated a stub article, with an unreferenced tag, relating primarily to the original blues song. The original song is notable in its own right, in my view, but I would fully accept that the article needs to be expanded and referenced - which will happen in due course. Changes by consensus, please. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:36, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, no probs. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Umm.. no reason to remove the category though, surely? - the Who did record a version so I would have thought it should be listed. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't really either mind or care either way, to be honest! Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:33, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I know you're sometimes swimming against the tide, and your work helps a lot in maintaining FA standards.
SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Special thanks to Ling.Nut—a retired editor who had a strong commitment to excellence in content review—for designing this award, and to Maralia for running the stats for May.
Well done! giggy (:O) 03:03, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Keep it up man! --Efe (talk) 00:58, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks :D indopug (talk)

[edit] Archive

Hi there! I think you can go ahead and archive Talk:Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. The RM admin has declared "No consensus" and closed the discussion. We can now all go back to making useful edits (like to the main Gandhi page itself). Fowler&fowler«Talk» 17:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] a-ha has sold 80 million records

her is the source for it from [1] --Alive Would? Sun (talk) 10:57, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The White Stripes are back and already recording a 7th album

Thought you might like to know. I'm telling everyone on planet Earth. Read what I added to their page about the upcoming album confirmation as well as Meg's return last night in Detroit at the Racs show. Tim010987 (talk) 19:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Oops, sorry about that. My favorite White Stripes album is probably still White Blood Cells. Yours? Tim010987 (talk) 19:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Sockpuppetry at FLC

Thanks for letting me know. The discography page could easily be closed as a failure right now, but I'm going to leave the awards page up for a couple of days, just in case someone decides to take over. -- Scorpion0422 00:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] JB Discography

I was thinking of starting one myself so knock yourself out. Hadn't thought about the possibliity of putting the unreleased songs and tribute songs there. I've had worries about those sections all along and you were definitely right about removing the covers list, there are no notable covers yet (a la All Along The Watchtower etc) and it became a forum for non-notable stuff. Personally i'd reduce the selected discography to Grace, Sketches, Mystery White Boy and the two legacy editions but i'm not sure what normal procedure is. I would also recommend that "Guest appearances and collaborations" go in there too as the most significant stuff is repeated in the body of the article anyway. I'll be sure to have a look when you're done. Thanks. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 17:47, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Scrap the legacy thing i said, i see they have the same articles as their smaller earlier releases. No wait - The live at Sin-e ones don't. What's the normal thing to do regarding Legacy/expansion re-releases? Sillyfolkboy (talk) 17:55, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Dude, you just ended my GA review... by removing the rest of the article! XD Good times. Haha, Lara❤Love 18:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm copying this to the article talk. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 18:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The featured list contest

Thanks for entering the contest. You are now able to select the topic that you would like to work on. While it is a good idea to know which specific list you will work on before you select a topic, you do not have to submit your list until Thursday. Once you have a topic and a list, you can start work. However, you will not be able to submit an FLC until Sunday at 00:00 (GMT). Good luck and have fun! -- Scorpion0422 18:14, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RCC FAC

Thank you! The low-res, high-res issue is still a foggy issue to me. Thanks for stepping in and taking care of that picture for us. NancyHeise (talk) 18:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lions (album)

Thanks for the peer review, but I can't figure out why you shortened the name of the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart... —Zeagler (talk) 21:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:2008 attacks on NI in MH (FAC)

Hello, Indopug...thanks for the copyedits to the lead. I am impressed by your editing. Can you copyedit it some more? I have requested people at LOCE to c/e it but didn't receive substantial help. Another thing- Whats the guideline about MOS-Dates? (I have some queries- see my reply at the FAC) Thanks, KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 06:06, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey Indopug! Did you find that link (MOS dates)? I just logged in and wanna correct the date formatting (atleast something to do in this short visit to WP) KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 16:56, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 17:06, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Madonna (entertainer)/1

Hi, this discussion, which you were involved in, has been restarted. Please take another look and try and get this wrapped up sooner rather than later. :-) Cheers, giggy (:O) 12:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Buckley GA

I'm going to start on the references now. I think i'll stick to the templates that i'm used to so i don't mess up the order of the info. I find it much more readable when in edit mode too and it doesn't mess with my mind when updating refs. Though i guess it might take up a few more bytes here and there. Now for the dirty (dull) work! Sillyfolkboy (talk) 14:02, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

I would think this should be subject to discussion and consensus per WP:TRIVIA#Guidelines. It's a major change to the article. --Rodhullandemu 15:36, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814

would you mind reviewing Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814? I'd like to have a thorough review making sure I have a proper list of what to add so I don't go overboard and then have to rebuild the page. If you choose to do so, thankyou in advance. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 00:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Creatures of Impulse
Thanks for the suggestion at FAC! The article has now passed, a mere month and two days after its creation =) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 01:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:LOTM

Congratulations on having earned your first WP:FL during the last month. You may be interested in nominating your list for consideration as August LOTM and LOTD. It would also be great if you would consider voting on the current set of candidates for consideration as July LOTM and LOTD.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:47, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:United World Chart

I'm a little hesitant to remove the chart positions for now. There is a discussion here about the chart, and there are several users who disagreed to remove the chart positions. I don't know which way should I go about this. Sorry for the confusion. RaNdOm26 (talk) 15:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Dates

Okay I have changed all occurences of full date to the International format...however in case of dates which are not followed by the year...the link you gave–WP:MOSDATE says both 12 May / May 12 are correct. So do I need to change them? KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 16:44, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
