[edit] Squarepusher

Hello, I added a reference to Squarepusher's philosphy. Is it alright? Ultravisitor 06:11, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Always bet on black

"Always bet on black", was in the trailer, but I didn't see it in the version of the film I saw. -- Geo Swan 22:53, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: needsinfobox

OK. But that wasn't me; I've never used that template. No problem tho. Herostratus 03:21, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh! You're right! That was wayyyy back on November 20, I'd forgotten. Sorry to put you through the trouble of looking it up. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's the only time I used it... I was pretty new then. But thanks for the info about how to use it, I appreciate it! Herostratus 03:38, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

I would just like to show my appreciation to the work you've been doing in WikiProject Albums. Keep it up! :) Gflores Talk 04:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Oops, I hadn't noticed the new stars template. Sorry about that. Thanks for telling me. Gflores Talk 20:30, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rock and roll vs. Rock (music)

I'm not keeping a list (there'd be no point, I change the links as I see them). Once in a while, I go to Special:Whatlinkshere/Rock and roll and start clicking links. They've got heavy metal up there now. Tsh.... these guys must be about a hundred years old.... "Ah, yes, heavy metal.... it's a sort of rock and roll, isn't it? You know, from those new gramophone records...." TheMadBaron 17:38, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Album infobox: chronology

Thanks for the help on those! Crazyale 13:42, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Regarding your work on Sepultura's genre slot: I really like it! Thanks for your help. Maybe we can tell it to Skeeker, so that he quits bitchin' to me. Again, thanks! If you ever want to discuss Sepultura, or any other band, with me, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Dark Executioner 17:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)Dark Executioner

[edit] Do As Infinity albums

Thanks for dropping by and enlightening me with the album infobox usage. -- ReyBrujo 18:02, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Netbot run

As well it should have - the template he was removing, Template:Stars, is slated for deletion. Please do not use meta-templates to display your music ratings. Phil Sandifer 21:38, 26 December 2005 (UTC)


Slicing, I was this close to just removing every one of those spam-like All Music links. Upon further investigation, that site rates by comparing works to other works by the same artist. Combine that poor system with the site's commercial nature, and I doubt very much the All Music belongs here. In the meantime, I will be looking into this template substitution bug and resolve it. Right now, I think removing All Music links to be the quickest solution, and not at all a bad one. -- Netoholic @ 23:37, 26 December 2005 (UTC)


Personally, I don't care if they are accurate or not. Why should Wikipedia bother with keeping in sync with any external website? If I can find a bot-driven way to fix the ratings, I will. If not, then I'm not going to worry too much. -- Netoholic @ 23:46, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar!

[edit] Album infobox conversions

Hey, I noticed you were once active at converting old infoboxes. Well, I've found a bunch that need converting, as I noted here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums/Needs infobox conversion. Cheers, Alcuin 03:47, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:WalkingWithAGhost.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:WalkingWithAGhost.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 03:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:WalkingWithAGhost.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:WalkingWithAGhost.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Wisdom89 (T / C) 04:51, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
