[edit] Song writing credits

Why were these removed?? Interesting info, factual not POV, sourced to TPC2, relevant and well-placed? Removal was unsigned and without explanation; I'm reversing it. Airumel 23:43, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Theremin

When did he use the theremin? All I can think of is the studio recording of Axilla II. TommyBoy76 15:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Erasing my photos

Well I must admit I am very turned off after being a member of Wikipedia again for only a month. I did several edits for the Phish page back in 2005 but never set up an account. Now that the college I teach at has a 24 hour computer lab, I have been online much more and noticed that both the Jon Fishman and Page McConnell pages were missing pictures. The thing that bothers me is that I read all of the rules and familiarized myself with the proper steps to upload photos before creating an account. I even used my real name and offered an email address to anyone who questioned their legitimacy. I was the text editor and photographer for the Phish Phactory back in 1999 and 2000 before Chris, my partner in the site, decided to shut it down back in 2003. My photos were on his site for years. Again, I read all of the rules and followed them exactly, or at least tried to.

What upset me was the meanness and accusatory tone that these Wikipedia users immediately threw my way. I don't know who or what this Sega thing is, but I wish it would just go away because some user erased my work and accused me of being this person. Now on my talk page there is some banner saying I am a part of the Sega ring or whatever it is. I wasn't aware that Wikipedia convicted new users before ever giving them a chance to explain themselves. I even offered my own personal email, to which no one responded. I can't make it any clearer.....these are my pictures, I scanned them onto the Phish Phactory back in 2000 and I still have the zip discs, from which they were uploaded onto Wikipedia. In addition, I also scanned a cover of my Marc Daubert CD "Parlor Tricks," which you can only buy from Marc himself, yet that was erased as well.

The other night, I was banned for basically standing by my work.....work that I have donated to Wikipedia to make it a better place. I was accused of WP:3RR, yet the users who have basically attacked me are doing the exact same thing! I've pretty much given up, as I am so disgusted by the cliquish and immature and, most of all, extremely unprofessional behavior of these various users that I am disappointed and basically uninspired to share my knowledge and work with Wikipedia. I could be a very positive contributor to this site, but the execution-without-trial behavior of these members has stifled what could be a very positive relationship. I am going to remove these unfounded accusations of me being someone else, and I am still going to offer my photographs to Wikipedia and re-upload them, because I feel it makes these pages better. Instead of banning a positive contributor, perhaps you should look into the elitist behavior of the users who try and erase everything I do because they think I am someone else. It's very sad that after the Essjay controversy and other bad news about Wikipedia that its members aren't motivated to be more fair and welcoming to new users.
