[edit] Music

Hey. I'm doing a survey to find the most liked songs of all time. So far I have over 300 songs in the list. I was hoping that you would be willing to contribute your top ten.

[edit] Coconut Rough stub sorting

No problem. You can see the complete stub template hierarchy at WP:WSS/ST. --Bruce1ee 08:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I think it's looking good, but I believe it still needs a little more before the stub-tag should be removed: for example an info-box and a discography section. Have a look at some of the other band articles, like The Feelers. --Bruce1ee 08:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedians FROM Texas

VOTE to keep Category:Wikipedians from Texas from merging with Category:Wikipedians in Texas. Being FROM Texas is not necessarily the same as being IN Texas. --Renice 15:05, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your message about Trees (band)

Hi. I've replied on my talk page. --kingboyk 09:17, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ahem

Please look here for your new category:Wikipedians born in Texas. It didn't change except for adding the word "born" and moving to category:Wikipedians by ethnicity. Let me know what you think of that, preferably in a slightly more civil tone.--Mike Selinker 08:00, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't see much evidence that you're a habitual flamer, so I want to be clear about something: I like pretty much everything you've listed on your userpage. I live not far from your former base of Tacoma. I have VHS and DVD copies of the movie Valley Girl, plus the dynamite soundtrack. I can tell you every single Roxy Music ever released. And instead of looking for any common ground we might have, you came with both guns blazing. You could easily have made a positive first impression if you'd just asked why. Maybe you could consider that the next time you have a beef in a public environment like this, because I really do want to hear people's opinions before my suggestions are followed. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the rest of your night.--Mike Selinker 08:25, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
See, it's not about personal contact for me either here, but it is a collaboration, and so I try hard to make sure I understand the other person's position. Otherwise (speaking of your MySpace page), you're Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl and I'm just an unfortunate hamster in a pet store. Regardless, I can see you were acting from inaccurate information, and that can lead to unfortunate decisions. That's cool. Just try not to do it again. See you around.--Mike Selinker 09:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind words.--Mike Selinker 06:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi there!

I came across your username on the Village Pump, and as one of the few editors here who knew immediately what it meant, I had to come say hello! Sorry I haven't run across you sooner... Hope you're enjoying yourself, and that you'll come cast a critical eye over any of the DD-related articles around here sometime. Thanks! — Catherine\talk 09:14, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

(grin) I know that half the fun of picking an obscure name is for that one person in ten thousand who perks up and says "hey!" -- I knew I had to give you the thumbs up. I'm glad you like the Duran Duran article and the Timeline -- I've very much enjoyed working on both (although I know the 2006 page in the Timeline is woefully out of date). It's always a pleasure to meet another in-depth fan about; please let me know if there's ever anything you need help with (DD-wise, admin-wise, or other-wise)! — Catherine\talk 20:22, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: I've responded to Wikipedia talk:Uploading images...

... with a couple of responses to what it was that you said. BTW, I did study very hard the list of tags and so think I might know which one would be the best one for the picture should I ever get the chance to actually use it, but I still really need help with the rest. And the link you provided me was only useful if I'd been interested in copying information from one website, which I have never been interested in. I wrote my text as an original product, created after doing lots of careful research of the band's history. That was the easy part. The whole photography thing is what's giving me a massive headache. Owie. I need extra-strength Tylenol AND Advil now. (Krushsister 06:16, 12 September 2006 (UTC))

I'm sorry it's such a pain, but it is important for Wikipedia not to accept photographs without clear license information. If it doesn't already have a free license of some sort and you can't contact the photographer (like, if they died) the photograph cannot be used. Sucks, but true. You could use an album cover image under a fair use license. -- Rick Block (talk) 13:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for responding promptly and for being patient with me while I try to navigate the waters of proper image usage and file uploading. I've only been at this site since April, so you really are helping out a n00b to the site, someone trying to get a feel for it. And I appreciate your assistance. BTW, still haven't heard back from the photographer. I'm still holding my breath, though. (Krushsister 02:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC))

You're quite welcome. Finding images that you haven't taken yourself that have a suitable license is a tricky thing for almost anyone. If you do hear from the photographer you'll need to make sure he/she understands the ramifications of a GFDL license (per Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission). Many professional photographers have quite a negative response to this sort of license (You want what? Anyone can redistribute this image, and even modify it, and I don't get a nickel? What's wrong with you?). I think the only reason the text part works as well as it does (and there are plenty of text copyright violations) is because of the disclaimer on the text entry box. If you enter text here that you originally write, by entering it you've agreed to license it under the GFDL. Lots of folks in the software world get this concept, since it originated with the open source movement. It's perhaps not as immediately noticeable, but licensing the content here under GFDL is as unusual as letting anyone update the content. -- Rick Block (talk) 02:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re. Colin Thurston and "Heroes"

Hi mate, thanks for explaining where it came from. Sorry if I seemed to give you short shrift when I changed it, normally I'd talk to you first but I'd double-checked all my main sources like Buckley and Pegg, as well as a few spots on the net, just in case I'd missed something - I own vinyl and CD versions of the album (for what it's worth, it's my fave Bowie, just nudging out Station to Station) and knew it wasn't there. Discogs has just got it wrong. However I agree with you that Thurston deserves more credit than he seems to get. Some album articles credit engineers and some don't - I don't but I never remove those credits when I see them, I'd just like to see it consistent. Anyway, it's simple enough to see Thurston gets more credit - why not create an article for him and throw in a discography - do you want to start it or will I? By the way, one album he did co-produce with Bowie (and Iggy Pop, but all were uncredited on the sleeve) was Lust for Life - check out the article I wrote for it.

[edit] New Wave Wikiproject

A great idea, and hopefully this will lead to some consistency between the articles. I have noticed that on your proposal page you mentioned that post-punk would be addressed to some extent since one site includes post-punk bands. It's true that in America most every punk-influenced band was called New Wave by your average Joe Modernrock, but really post-punk and New Wave were two separate yet parallel movements that emerged from the immediate aftermath of punk. Books about rock music tend to discuss the two separately, and books like Simon Reynolds' Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984 delineate the genre pretty definitively. However, what I suggest is that the project cover BOTH, rather than treating one or the other as subordinate to the other. Call it "Wikiproject:Post-punk and New Wave". That way the project has a broader scope yet excellently fills the gap between the Punk and Alternative Wikiprojects. WesleyDodds 10:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks ever so

for fixing a reference footnote in the Scars article I'm largely responsible for. I didn't bone up on Wikipedia footnote referencing as much as I should've. Though I did get a lot of footnote training when I was a senior in high school and a freshman in college, the whole thing about where to put the footnote numberings wasn't really covered. That sounds like an excuse. I'm sorry. But thank you for the fix. (Krushsister 04:47, 27 October 2006 (UTC))

No need to apologize ! I'm using Gimmetrow's handy new ref fixer, a script which converts refs to conform to where to place ref tags. Regards, Sandy (Talk) 04:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Limahl. Pemberton's famous resident.

  • Good entry on the Pemberton article. But, do you know he was 'definately' born in Pemberton and not in Billinge Hospital? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.242.187 (talk) date
* I'm basing this on his Wikipedia article, really. I was looking up information on Kajagoogoo and wondered where Pemberton was (I r American) so I clicked on the article linkage and, after clarifying the disambiguation on the Limahl bio, was surprised to find Limahl not listed therein. So I would definitely check up on whomever added that information to the bio to see where they got that information from for sure. (I'm too lazy to Google now.)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Academy - On The Beach.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Academy - On The Beach.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Of Scars and albums

Just a note, the move button at the top of the page does everything you needed to do to get Scars (Scars album) to Scars (Gary Moore album). Right now I've tagged the latter for a history merge, so as to fix it.

Also, I'm on board with WikiProject New Wave. (You had me from the start.) –Unint 21:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh dude, I'm sorry. I didn't see the "move" button until now! Honestly, I still consider myself a bit of a novice around here, having only done editing on the site for almost 11 months. But thanks for clarifying for me.
Thank you for your support re: the New Wave WikiProject! I really, really appreciate it. Someone once said it provided a nice transition between the Punk WikiProject and the Alternative WikiProject, so that's sweet. I am totally looking forward to your assistance in this project and making all of the NW-themed pages just about the most awesome they can be.
Appreciate the message! (Krushsister 02:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Colin Thurston

Hi mate, sorry I hadn't got back to your earlier message - nothing deliberate, I owe a few good people responses to stuff they've left. Yes, bad news he's gone - but we'll do our best to give him a decent article, eh? Will have a go this week - and tks for the compliment re. The Golden Section, I also think it's a somewhat overlooked gem. Cheers, Ian Rose 08:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re Peel Sessions artists

Hi Krushsister,

...I would appreciate it if this issue is not revisited...

Doesn't look like it will, at least for the time being. If some weeks/months from now Peel Sessions artists appears at CfD again, you could copy-paste its members' names onto a page in your own userspace (e.g. User:Krushsister/List of Peel Sessions artists) as a kind of backup, especially if you think the outcome will be the category's deletion. If it looks like people would accept/support a list rather than the category, you could then copy-paste (or just move) User:Krushsister/List of Peel Sessions artists to List of Peel Sessions artists. Yours, David Kernow (talk) 03:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
PS Apologies if all this is well-known to you!

Hi. I highly appreciate your cooperation and response. Unfortunately, a list would not work. Not only would it be unwieldy (with over 200 items, the list would take ages to load up), it wouldn't concisely group together the musical artists who have done at least one Peel Session...
Well, faced with deletion or a not-very-useful list (in userspace), I'd take the list, otherwise knowing who/what was in the category would be lost (or at least a hassle to recover). It should be a while now before anyone sends Category:Peel Sessions artists to CfD (unless they don't notice it's recently been discussed) and that while could be very long, if ever at all; I'd say there's plenty of other categories that are closer to deletion, most yet to appear on CfD!
Thanks for your compliment, David (talk) 05:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carol Ann Duffy

Firstly, Wikipedia is not censored. Secondly, even if it were, it seems to me that since Ms Duffy is British, it would be a gross distortion to try to force American values onto her. How would you describe the subject matter of William Blake's poem "The Little Black Boy"?--Poetlister 19:16, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Krushsister

Thanks! That brightened my dreary Illinois day :) --Renice 19:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Peel Sessions

Hey, you had the chance to make your case to keep the category. If you couldn't, with your vastly superior knowledge of The History Of Music and all, convince people that the category was worthwhile, then I guess that speaks to your ineffectualness. The information is preserved in list form, so maybe you should spend more of your time working on that and less time worrying about my taint. Otto4711 05:07, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

  • So...why exactly is it my fault that you didn't have the chance to comment on the CFD? If you have a problem with the way the CFD was conducted, then take it to WP:DRV instead of leaving crank messages on peoples' talk pages. Consensus is loud and clear about categorizing people by their performances and the Peel Sessions were deemed to fall into that category. Again, no information was lost because the category was listified. Go work on that and quit your complaining. Otto4711 05:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I support your views. This category should not have been deleted. You have given good reasons for this, I think. Avoid responding to personal comments and continue to identify the relevant argument - as you have largely done. I hope you continue to contribute to wikipedia. Regards, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 06:36, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

As Otto said, the info wasn't deleted, it was converted from a category into List of The Peel Sessions artists. The conventional wisdom is that the category system doesn't work very well with this kind of thing. A tagging system might, but we don't have one. You could take this to Deletion review to ask for it to be turned back into a category, but you can link a list to related albums, and include bands that we don't have articles on, and add commentary. You can't do any of those things with a category, so this is really a chance to improve things. Anyway, if you need any help with opening a deletion review request - if you decide that's the way to go - let me know. Angus McLellan (Talk) 09:59, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Hi again Krushsister,
    As Angus suggests, Deletion review is the place to start if you want to try to restore the category; given Fred's comments, it sounds like there's something to consider. However, as Angus also suggests, a list may be an improvement, as links to the tracks performed during a group's Session could then be included. (I haven't heard anything billed as from a Peel Session for a long time, so hope this applies.)  Either way, my understanding is that nothing is necessarily deleted forever, so please keep contributing!  Best wishes, David Kernow (talk) 10:58, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:Image:Bw scars.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Image:Bw scars.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
